Happy go lucky

Kyou Kara Rin

            I can't take it anymore. I've lied too many times… and to my own brother, nonetheless. I just don't have the heart to tell him the truth. If I did, then I would throw him into a battle which he can't possibly win. It's my battle to fight, but I don't have the strength anymore.

            My near-blindness… was caused by a growth. It turns out that I have more of these in my body. In other words, I have cancer. I just couldn't tell Joey. It would break his heart if he heard that there was no hope for me. I love my brother so much, I just don't want him to go through the pain.

            And they call me

            Happy go lucky

            They don't know my heart is dying inside

            My smile's a frown

            Turned upside down

            I do my happy go lucky so well I'm even fooling myself

            I bought a handgun just last week. I pull it out of the drawer and load it. I could keep them all from feeling my pain, because I know that they will find out soon. I lift it up and put the barrel against my head. My finger trembles on the trigger. It will be over soon.

            "Serenity? Where are ya, sis?"

            I stop, and throw the gun back into the drawer. I close the drawer just as Joey walks into the room. That was certainly a close one. It's time to put on my act again.

            "Hello Joey," I say, smiling. "I'm okay."

            "Dat's great, sis."

            He'll never know the truth.

            And they call me

            Happy go lucky

            They don't know my heart is dying inside

            My smile's a frown

            Turned upside down

            I do my happy go lucky so well I'm even fooling myself

A/N: I like Serenity, don't get me wrong. She's awesome, but I wanted to look behind that gentle face and find another part of her. Next chapter will be Yugi. Please review! Ja ne!
