-Soundless Life-
Rin and I were always close. So close in fact that, even as we reached the age of sixteen, we shared a room.
And a bed.
We could easily tell each other anything (no matter how embarrassing) and good just as easily notice when the other was hiding something. We're twins so that makes sense, right?
So as soon as I woke to Rin's side of the bed being cool to my touch, I knew something was wrong. Sitting up and glancing around I noticed the hallway bathroom's light was on, seeping underneath the closed wooden door. I stood and went to the door, rapping on it's surface gently.
"Rin?" I heard someone quickly suck in their breath. "You okay?"
"Yep, perfectly fine."
Any other person wouldn't of noticed the slight trill in her voice as she answered me.
"Rin...if you're fine then open the door."
My twin was silent for what seemed like an eternity before she finally opened the door, showing me a bright smile.
"See? I'm perfectly fine!"
But obviously she wasn't, maybe if I had noticed that she was holding her breath, maybe if I noticed that she looked paler than she usually did in the bright lights, maybe...just maybe she would be here right now. But those things I didn't notice as my eyes were too tired at the moment.
So we both went back to our room and slept the rest of the night. Simple as that right?
Sure.
