A/N: I know that you have all been waiting for the rewrite so I'm sorry this took so long. I hope you like it
What is being depressed like?
Well, it's like you're drowning. But you can see everyone around you still breathing.
Anger bubbled up in my chest. I was angry at my teacher, I was angry at myself, and now I was angry at Hinata. Every damn toss was missed. Every. Damn. One. It drove me up the wall, couldn't Hinata get his shit together? It was one simple task. I got into position and eyed the ball. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Hinata standing, slightly dazed. What was with him today?!
As I predicted, my toss was missed because hinata wasn't there in time.
"Damnit Hinata, faster! What is with you today?! Can you please get your head out of the clouds?" I shouted, my anger finally boiling over. Hinata stopped what he was doing and glared at me. The amount of hostility radiating off of him was slightly surprising, albeit a little concerning.
"Can you please get your head out of your ass?!" Hinata countered coldly, storming out of the gym. I was shocked to say the least. My anger was replaced by utter confusion; it was the first time I've ever heard Hinata yell like that.
"Kings' baaaack." Tsukkishima said in a singsong voice from behind me. I flinched at the name, it still hurt; like a punch to the face.
"Apologize now," Daichi commanded, a stern look on his face, "Hinata's been going through a lot, don't you know his grandfather is really sick?!"
Wait. What?
"W-what? I didn't know-" I stuttered.
"Wow, heartless. You should probably apologize for that too. And for being insensitive, a jerk, an asshole, a major pain-"
I tuned out the rest of what Tsukkishima said, my mind was still caught on his first words
"Heartless..." The word echoed throughout my head on an endless loop.
Apologize?
For being heartless?
No one ever apologized for making me this way...
My face visibly darkened, a feeling of anguish washed over me. Is that what everyone thought of me? Heartless? A jerk? I thought I had gotten past all of that, but I guess not. I let out a sick laugh and walked out of the gym.
I needed some air, my mind was moving a mile a minute. The relentless rain pounded down on me the second I walked outside. my clothes were soaked within seconds; but I couldn't be bothered by it, the rhythmic pitter patter actually calmed me down. I blocked out the cold that was seeping into my system, I hadn't thrown on a jacket before leaving. I actually hadn't grabbed anything before I left, my backpack and duffle were still sitting in the club room. But today is a Friday so I guess it doesn't really matter, I can always get it tomorrow.
I took the familiar turn into my neighborhood, my warm and inviting house was growing nearer and nearer. What I saw next made my blood run cold. My stomach churned, panic was evident on my face.
"He's... Here."
I will try my best to get the next few chapters out really soon.
