Chapter 4 or Nonsense Speaker~ "Remote Control"

"This is your house?" She said, wih a slight giggle. "It's- uh, small."

"I'm not rich, unlike you," I said while nudging her a little. I hope coach wouldn't mind me skipping practice. I sighed, of coarse he will. He'll kick me off the team!

"Len! You're supposed to be at practice!" My mother called to me. She walked into the living room where Rin and I were and giggled. "I didn't know we had company~"

I facepalmed. "Not like that, mom!" She really can get out of hand sometimes.

"Shush Len! Honey, what's your name?" She pointed to Rin.

"My name is Rin Kagamine, ma'am," she replied sweely with a slight bow. I never seen her so polite. Memories of that dark room and her mother flooded my mind again. How could her mom do that to such a sweet girl? Why was she so nasty to Rin?

"You can call me Lola, Rin." She smiled, and I swear it could have lit up the whole town.

My mom extended her hand, and Rin flinched. My mom gave me a look like, 'Why did she do that?' but I just nodded so she would leave it alone.

"It's just a handshake, hun. It's okay," she said and extended her hand. With a red face, Rin shook it.

"Gomen."

Over snack, my mother questioned Rin. It was awkward to be there, and I thought about leaving, but I then decided against it.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Yellow."

"What's your favorite food?"

"Oranges."

"What's... What's your home life like, Rin?"

"She doesn't have to answer that," I interrupted.

"Let her answer for herself, Len!" I shrunk back.

"So, tell us Rin, what's your familly like?"

Rin gulped before answering, "My father died when I was 10, ma'am. Um, I live with my mom."

"What's she like?"

"Nice."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

MY mom sighed and stood up. "I'll go prepare dinner."

Why did my mom do that? She doesn't know Rin. She doesn't know Rin's life. So why would she quesion it like that? My mom never acts like that. Never. My whole life I have never heard my mother use that tone, with ANYBODY.

So why Rin?

"Sorry about that." I said to Rin, who was criss-cross-apple-saused on my floor, watching Spongebob.

"It's fine," she smiled, and so did I. We both laughed histerically when Spongebob ripped his pants.

"Me and my dad would watch this all the time," she said.

"Who was your dad?"

"A man," she giggled and I sneered.

"Nooo, I thought he was a magical flying rainbow pegusus named George," I said sarcastically. "I meant... was he like your mom?"

"Not at all. When my mom was alive, she wasn't like how she is now. She was what every mom should be, a nice, caring, butterflies-and-rainbows type. My dad was the same, but he wasn't gay," She laughed.

"Then what happened?"

"Mother said he died from a natural cause, but I know it wasn't that. He was too young; too healthy."

"Hm..." I hummed.

"I think she killed him."

Everything was silent after that, besides the gasp and rustling outside of my bedroom door.

"Why would you think that?" I asked intently. But seriously- what does she know that would drive her to that conclusion?

"It all started when I was six..." she said. "I was in kindergarden, and I had lots of friends. Everyone always wanted to play with me! Anyways, this one time, my mom said that no one was allowed over. I was kinda shocked, 'cause she would always let people come over. Later that day, my mom and dad got in a fight. Dad told me to hide under my bed, and to not come out 'till he told me to. So, I did. He never came to get me."

Little crystals flew down her face, her once blue irises urning pink and puffy. "Don't cry, it's okay," I told her while holding her close to me.

I want to know the truth, and all of it. Suddenly, this girl has become my top priority. I'm going to get down to this puzzle that is her life. 'That is my promise to you, Rin.'

Author's note~

Sorry it's been so long! A month ;_;. I had vacation and stuff~ so yeah. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Hehehe. I'm in your closet~ JUST KIDDING.

Anyways, the whole kindergarden thing is coming up soon. I've been asked what it's about, so here:

At a young age, Rin was popular and loving and had the perfect family. Everything changed when her father died. Her mother got violent and mean, isolating Rin from her friends. She beats Rin and orders her around, treating her like Cinderella. Len's a playboy at Rin's school, and has fallen in love with her. Miku is Len's ex-girlfriend, and she hates Rin, but she can't help but to feel bad for Rin, given her situation.

The whole Len being yelled at by Rin's mom thing is what I can't tell you yet!

PM me if you have any questions!
