AN: ok, here i am yet again, writing a new story. omg i'm soooooooo messed up. lol! this story takes place when hiro is 15. and tdashi dies in the fire and blah blah blah you get the gist.

ENJOY!

Chapter 1:

hiro woke up with the sun shining brightly through his window. he got dressed and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. he saw a note on the table and read it.

went out early to re stock on food for the café. won't be back till noon. make your own breakfast or starve. love you!

-aunt cass

"Great. she knows i can't cook. she knows this." he searched the fridge hoping there would be leftovers he could nuke but there was almost nothing to eat.

"Some of that food better be for me." he mumbled.

suddenly he heard a crash outside. his eyes widened in fear as h saw that it was 10:45am.

"Please let her be okay. please let her be okay. please let her be okay." he prayed as he made his way down to the front door.

what he saw was horrifying.

his aunt's truck had been T-boned and had rolled into a building. a small crowd had gathered. he couldn't remember if he screamed or stayed silent but he ran to her truck.

"Aunt Cass!" he screamed.

the door to the truck saw so smashed it wouldn't open so he punched the glass shattering it. due to adrenaline and the slightly impressive muscles he'd gained over he past year, he was able to get her out through the window. he laid her on the ground and searched for a pulse.

she had a deep gash on her fore head. so deep in fact that he could see a good part of her skull. he kept searching for a pulse but he couldn't find one.

by now, an ambulance had arrived. paramedics rushed out with a stretcher. they hauled her into the back of the ambulance and hiro followed them. on the way back, they worked on getting IV's in her and performing CPR. but it was no use. she was dead and there was nothing they could do. they backed away from her and allowed hiro to see her. he approached her and held her hand.

"Aunt cass, please no. please don't leave me. please! i need you! you're all i have left! i'm completely alone without you! please come back to me! please!" he gave up and laid over top of her and sobbed into her bloody shirt-getting some blood on his face.

one of the paramedics rubbed his back, "I'm so sorry." a few moments later she said, "We're going to take you to the police station so your parents can pick you up. did you want to call them?"

"My parents are dead. my whole family is dead. my parents. my brother. my aunt. everyone. i have no where to go now."

she did her best not to cry, "I guess we'll have to take you to an orphanage then."

"What? No! no way! i can't go there! anywhere but there!"

"Well, is there anyone else you can stay with?"

"There might be." hiro pulled out his phone and dialed Fred's number.

fred was watching tv when he heard his phone ring.

"Yello?"

"Fred."

"Hey, waddup hiro?"

"Fred. i need to ask a huge favor."

"Hiro, what's wrong?" fred asked just now noticing the shakiness in hiro's voice.

"My aunt got T-bones on her way home this morning and she~ she's dead."

"Oh, my God where are you?"

"I'm in the ambulance. they're gonna take me to the police station. just meet me there, okay?"

"Wait. what favor were you gonna ask me?"

"Fred, you are such an idiot." hiro thankfully didn't say out loud.

"Fred. i need somewhere to stay! i have no where to go! please! i'm begging you. just for a little while?"

"Oh, of course you can stay at my house. there's plenty of room. i'll meet you at the police station with my parents."

"Ok."

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Not a scratch?"

"No."

"ok, i'll meet yo there okay?"

"Ok."

"k, i'm on my way. bye."

"bye."
