A/n: This one is going to be longer than the others, just a warning.

Five's P.O.V.

"This is it. I think I'm reading my story now," I sighed, looking up at the others. "Before you read, did you do anything to hurt Anna? I'm just curious," Vanya asked. I didn't know if I did anything to hurt her. If I did, I don't remember it. "I don't think so. All I ever did was hang out with her a couple of times while you guys were killing her," I said as I glared over at Luther and Diego. They said nothing but stared down at the floor.

My heart began to pound in my chest as I flipped to the next page. I had a feeling that she wrote our stories this way on purpose so we could try to brace ourselves before being reminded of our misdeeds, but no matter how hard I tried to brace myself for my story to be told, I could never prepare for what she was about to expose.

*******

Now, I know I said that all of my siblings are one of the reasons why I have decided to make my decision. But, if you backtrack to Allison's story, you might remember that I said that I hated most of you for the stuff you did. "Yeah, what does that have to do with anything, Anna?" you may be asking yourselves. Well, the answer is, there are a few people on my list that haven't done me wrong. I know, big shocker. But let me finish. Even though these people didn't wrong me, I feel like I wronged them, and I have suffered tremendous guilt because of it.

And I feel like they would still be around if I hadn't done what I did to them. And who knows, maybe I'd be alive if things were different. You remember that story I was saving for later? You know the one about him? Well, this is it. And it's all about you.

Five.

Five, I don't know if your reading this. If you came back from the future or wherever you went. But I want you to know that you did nothing wrong to me. I feel like I did something wrong to you. I should start with where it all began.

When Klaus started lying to our siblings, saying that we made out by the side of The Academy, I knew my reputation would be in tatters. Along with the laughing and pointing at me, everyone started to trip, kick or slap me. Do you remember the sounds of crying at night? That was me. I tried so hard to ignore all the abuse I was going through, but one day I was walking downstairs with the others to breakfast, and Allison bumped into me and caused me to fall down the stairs. I was sure that I was going to break my neck when I reached the end of the staircase.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw that you were holding me in your arms and when I looked down, I saw that you had caught me. "Are you okay?" you asked. I was shaken up, but slowly nodded my head and smiled, ignoring the others giggling at me. You put me down, and we went to breakfast, and everything was normal for the rest of that day. But, I couldn't get the image of you catching me out of my head.

You didn't have to catch me, Five. You could've easily just let me fall and hurt myself, but you didn't. But, I had severe trust issues, so I decided not to go up and talk to you during free time, worrying that what Klaus did to me. You would do the same. Throughout the month, I kept looking over at you and smiling before turning around and continuing with listening to those boring lectures.

Then, one day I was walking towards my room when I got pinned against the wall by Diego and Allison, they started teasing me, and Allison rumored me to punch myself in the face multiple times. "Why are you punching yourself, Anna?" they would tease me as I couldn't stop. After a while, they let me go, and I was crumpled up on the ground, crying my eyes out as I swallowed back blood. I felt someone gently tap my shoulder, and when I looked up, I saw that it was you, Five.

"Get away!" I said, burying my head into my arms. "It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you," you whispered. I was surprised by this and looked up at you again to see you smiling and holding your hand out. I slipped my hand into yours, and you helped me stand up. "Who did this to you?" you asked as you carefully touched the painful bruises on my face. "I can't tell you. What if they find out?" I said, on the verge of tears once again.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm right here," you said as I wrapped my arms around you tightly, not wanting to let go. "Here, let's get some ice," you said after it was silent between us for a while. We found Grace, and she put some ice in a small bag and handed it to me along with a dishrag so it wouldn't be so cold when I held it. We sat on my bed together, and you were there for me and listened to every word I had to say.

You placed the bag on another one of the bruises, and I let out a small gasp at the cold sensation. "You alright?" You asked. Honestly, I wasn't fine. I was at my wit's end. I needed to get out of there. I wanted to start a new life. Somewhere where no one would recognize me as a member of The Umbrella Academy. "No, Five. I can't do this anymore," I whispered. Your eyes grew wide, and you asked me to repeat myself. I did, and you asked me if I was depressed or wanted to do anything to myself. I was depressed, but at that point, I didn't want to hurt myself.

I told you no, and you let out a breath of relief. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" you asked. I wanted to ask you if you could help me get out, but considering that this was the first time we had a conversation, I didn't want things to be awkward between us. "Could you take me out to Griddy's tonight?" I asked. Griddy's was the best donut shop in the city, and it had been a while since I had one of their delicious donuts. You smiled and nodded and told me to knock on your door a half an hour after Father tucked us in bed.

It may not have been a permanent escape plan, but at least I was able to escape reality for a while. That same night, after father tucked me in, I waited just like you told me to and changed into some regular clothes so no one would recognize the crest on our uniforms. I gently tapped on the door of your room, and you opened it, and you smiled when you saw my outfit. It was nothing special, but the look in your eyes was silently telling me that you loved my outfit.

We snuck out through the fire escape, and once we were far away from the academy, we started giggling at what we had just done. It was fun eating donuts with you Five. Even though you acted like an "I don't care," type of guy in front of other people, You let your sweet side out when you were around me. Ten donuts and three black coffees later, we snuck back into the academy hyper as six year old's.

Oh my god, I can't believe we did this," I whispered as we crawled through the window of your room. "Shh," you shushed me as you carefully closed the window. I let out a small giggle, and you quickly covered my mouth, trying to muffle the noise. We had to be careful not to wake the others. While we waited for the sugar to exit our systems, we sat on the bed together, and you giggled softly as I gently rested my head on your shoulder.

I looked around the room and saw a bunch of formulas were written on the walls. "What are those?" I whispered. "It's silly, but I was thinking about asking father if he can teach me to time travel," You answered. The moment you mentioned time travel, I could feel my heart race. "Why time travel?" I asked. "I want to explore the old days and maybe even see what the future holds. And, I want you to experience it with me,"

I was shocked by this. But at the same time, I was happy because that could be our way to escape to a better world. "That sounds amazing! I'm in!" I smiled. You started smiling, and we embraced each other tightly, and we hoped that father would say yes. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a camera sitting on your desk, and I asked you about it. You walked over to the desk and showed me how the camera worked. I had never seen a camera like that before. When you told me about the instant photos, I asked if we could take a picture together.

"Of course," you answered. I gently rested my head on your chest and smiled as you pointed the camera at us and pressed the small button. A flash of light came out of it, and a piece of film rolled out a second later. "You want to take another one?" you asked. "Sure, but it's my turn," I took the camera from you and snapped another picture. After that, I placed it on the bedside table. You were staring at me with those kind eyes, and I started to wonder if you were okay.

"Are you okay?" I asked. You nodded, but without warning, you leaned in close and placed your lips on top of mine. I couldn't believe it. I was having my first actual kiss with you. Someone who was so kind to me and actually cared about me. I started kissing you back, and my hands flew up into your hair. "Is this okay?" I asked. "Better than okay," You answered. At that moment, everything was perfect. And for a minute, I could see a future with you in it, Five. And I was happy, I had won my battle with depression, and you and I didn't care about what the others thought about us.

We continued kissing for a minute, and then I felt you climb onto my lap and wrap your arms around me. One hand was resting on my back while the other one was caressing my cheek. Then, I heard the sound of voices, but nobody was awake. They were coming from inside my head. It was Luther, Diego, Allison, and Klaus all telling me that I was a hoe. And that I didn't deserve you. I tried to block them out, but they kept getting louder and louder.

"Stop!" I said, pulling out of the kiss. You scrambled off of me and asked if you did something wrong, but I didn't answer. I just grabbed the small polaroid photo and went back to my room without another word.

Five, your name does not belong on this list, but I need you to be here if I'm going to tell my story. I don't want you to blame yourself for my death. Because you aren't like most guys. You're different. You can be a smartass at times, but you protect the people you love the most, and your actions proved that to me.

I didn't deserve to be with someone like you.

*******

"Why did you stop?" Luther asked when I set the notebook to the side. "Because I can't read any more of this. It's too painful," I said, trying to fight back tears. "You almost popped your cherry! What's so painful about that?" Klaus asked. "I heard a rumor that you shut your mouth," Allison said in Klaus' direction. He let out muffled screams, but at least he didn't say more stupid stuff.

"It's my fault. It's all my fault!" I shouted, throwing the empty glass at the wall.

A/n: This is not the end of Five's story. The rest will be described in the next chapter!
