Fine Line

Chapter 19 - Dumpster Fire pt.2: Monster

- TW: STRONG LANGUAGE, MENTION OF MURDER - 

Second Person POV: 

Jirou runs back up to the rooftop, frantically searching for you. After you missed dinner, she came to see if you were in your room. You weren't there, obviously, and this is the last place she could think of to check. 

"Fuck, y/n, where the hell are you?" She says under her breath. Scanning the rooftop, her eyes fall on the edge of the roof. 

"Shit," Jirou says, running to the edge. Looking down, she doesn't see anything. No dead y/n laying on the ground. "Thank God," she whispers, relieved.

There is one last place she can think of to check, but it is highly unlikely. Ever since you and Mina got into that fight, the group switches back and forth from you and Mina's room every night. It used to be just your room that everyone would be in, but things changed.

Tonight, they're in Mina's room. There is no way that you would be in there, Mina would probably cuss you out if you tried to come in. But it can't hurt to look, right?

Mina hears two firm knocks on her door. 

"Yeah, who is it?" She says loudly, turning the music down.

"It's Jirou." 

Mina opens the door and motions for her to come inside.

"What's up, Jirou?" Kirishima asks from the beanbag chair. 

"Have any of you seen y/n?" She asks cautiously. She knows it's not the best question to ask in Mina's room, right in front of her face, but it must be done.

Mina rolls her eyes and sits down on her bed next to Denki. "Who even gives a shit where that asshole went?"

"I care where that asshole went," Jirou says, caught off guard by Mina's comment. 

The rest of the group is making awkward, "oooh, you should not have said that" faces.

"Well, I couldn't tell you. I don't know, and frankly, I could not care less about where the bastard went," Mina says. 

"Well, then. Does anyone have any idea where she is? Please? I've looked everywhere, and I'm starting to get worried."

"Sorry, man. I wish I could tell you," Kirishima replies.

"I don't know, either," Bakugo says curtly.

"Yeah, no clue," Denki says, more focused on his video game than the conversation.

Sero shrugs.

In one last attempt to coax something out of Mina, Jirou starts, "Mina, listen to me when I say she would be out of her mind worried about you if you were missing. So please, if you have any ide–"

"–Last time I saw her she was going up to the roof. I never heard her come back into her room, though," Mina says curtly. 

That makes sense, she would've been able to hear if she went back into her room, they live right next to each other. But then again, how would it make sense? That means she wouldn't have left the rooftop. 

And I already checked there.

"Thanks for your help, guys, I appreciate it," Jirou says with gratitude before she leaves. She stands outside in the hallway in front of Mina's dorm, thinking of what to do next.
