Aiko Felt
16 Years
Quiet about his life, yet very bubbly and always seen smiling
"His smile could light up the world!" They'd say. They'd say that he was probably the happiest person they'd ever met, and they thought that he had just a normal good life. Well, they were absolutely wrong. Aiko, although he never let anyone see his pain and tears, was depressed. He often had suicidal thoughts, and he did cut himself, but he felt that he had no other choice. He thought it was the only way to relief the pain. The smile and happiness was only to light up others' day so that they wouldn't feel like he did. He was always worried about own others felt, often caring for them, but no one even questioned or thought to ask the boy since he was "happy" all the time.
His mom was dying. His dad died at the age of 8, and he was living with his abusive uncle. His auntie was oblivious to the abuse, since she was at work while his uncle stayed home all day. He never talked about it. Not to his aunt, not to his dying mother, not even to his closest friends. No one ever asked if he was okay, so he never had to lie about his wellbeing, and how happy he was. They assumed, which he liked a lot better than when people asked questions. As of right now, him cutting himself was the only thing keeping him sane. It sounded crazy but it was the only thing he really had control over, and it helped him ppour out the rather bottled up emotions.
In order to hide the cut scars, and bruises left by his uncle, he always wore sweaters. He never took them off, and he never changed out for gym while people were around. Speaking of which, the boy was in gym class currently changing out. It took him some time to change out, as he was often sore from bruises. Slowly, he removed his sweater, only to hear a gasp coming from near the doors. When he turned, no one was there so he shrugged it off, continuing to dress out.
