A/N: PLEASE READ! I do not want to get killed later once I end the story. I get it, the 3rd chapter was confusing. I know, Rin's personality changes. Rin does not have a personality-disorder however she is a conflicted girl who can't get over the past, but fears the future. She actually has PTSD in this story, but in the end it probably will get cured. (It's possible). Also if I slowly update I am so busy with life!

Love Lies

Chapter 4: Trust Building in Sickness

Rin's Nightmare (3rd POV)

Another flashback for Rin.

Beep Beep…

"Doctor when will she wake up?" Gumi asked the man.

The doctor sighed, "She's in a coma...but she'll be fine."

Gumi sighed, "Why did you do this Rin...why didn't you…"

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

"AHHHHH"

(Rin's POV)

I slammed my alarm clock. Since when did we have that?! Whatever, I grudgingly walked over and did my morning routine, of changing and showering then I went to the dining room.

Gumi and I stared at each other the moment I walked in, "What?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"You don't seem devastated?" She asked.

I shook my head, "No?"

"Huh...well after seeing Len, I figured you'd come home and cry. But instead you just locked yourself in your room and no sounds came out of it…" Gumi then stood up, and walked over to me looking at my face for any signs of negativity, "Are you sure you're ok?"

"KARATE" I yelled.

"What?"

"CHOP!" I karate chopped Gumi's face away from me.

Gumi flew back, and held her nose. "Ow! What the heck?!"

"Hey invasion of my personal space." I smirked.

Gumi rolled her eyes, "Whatever I'm just trying to look out for you. Apparently you don't need me so I'll be going."

Gumi started to walk out the door, "Wait…" I stopped her, calling out.

"I'm sorry I just...don't know how to deal with seeing Len again…" I apologized softly.

Gumi turned back and hugged me, "It'll be ok my Rinny-kins."

I sighed, "I guess. I was thinking of last night what to do today…"

"Well, starters you can either ignore him or talk to him like a normal person." Gumi smiled.

I nodded, "Probably talk like a normal human. Cause he'd pester me if I ignored him."

With that, Gumi and I started walking to school. When we arrived, the mood was a bit… sorrowful. Students looked distraught for some reason...I couldn't put my finger on why…

Wait...IS THIS A DREAM? I pinched my hand, "Ouch" I muttered, shaking my finger off my hand to ease the sting. Definitely not a dream.

"Um what happened?" I asked, breaking the silence.

Some girls turned their heads towards me, and glared, "Read the note Rin-Chan! Len~Senpai's not here because of you!" a girl spitted.

I gulped, and walked over to Len's desk, and picked up the note.

Dear Rin~Chan, and Class,

After my distraughtly discoverly of Rin~San returning and the shock and stress I received. I've fallen terribly ill. Sorry fellow classmates.

From Beloved, Len.

I rolled my eyes, over dramatic much? I turn and see girls having angry tears out, ready to strike. "So...go visit Len~Senpai and make him feel better." One of the girls said, cracking her knuckles.

I glanced at Gumi, she nodded for me to go and I darted. The teacher, tried to stop me but my speed was ultra fast Rin speed!

I stopped at the school gates, in a horrendous realization...I don't know where he lives….

"Rin~Chan? It's almost class what are you doing here?" Mikuo suddenly appeared out of thin air, and asked.

I quickly responded without thinking, "IneedtoseeLendoyouknowwherehelives?" I said fastly.

Mikuo raised an eyebrow, "I don't speak 'Fastpanese' Rin. Talk slower"

"Do you know where Len is? He's sick and all the girls in my class forced me to visit him." I explained, slower this time.

Mikuo eyes lit up, "Oh he lives a couple streets down your house. He's a guy with a big white house you can't miss it." Mikuo then walked away.

Big...white...house? HOW IS THAT- you know what? Yolo! I grumbled colorful words, and made my way down my street.

'Couple streets down your house…' I repeated Mikuo's words to myself, looked around, 'But where?'

I spotted a white house and started walking towards it. It was on a hill.

The closer I got to it, the bigger and larger it seemed, when I arrived. WELL SH*T! It's freaking 3 stories tall!

I nervously walked to the doorbell, and rang it. No answer. Huh, looks like nobody's home. I started walking away when I heard shuffling, clicking, and the door opened.

"Rin?" Len stuttered in surprise. I scanned him to see if he was sick, and indeed he was.

He didn't have a runny nose, but his face was red, and his forehead looked like it was burning. He had tired eyes. At least he wasn't lying.

"You're sick." I monotonically said.

Len raised an eyebrow. "Yeah and?"

I then ultra karate chopped him on the forehead, "YOUR DEMON FANGIRLS SENT ME TO GO CHECK ON YOU AND THREATENED TO BEAT ME UP IF I DIDN'T! WHY'D YOU LEAVE A NOTE LIKE THAT?!" I screamed.

Len was holding his head from pain, it made me feel a little bit guilty. A little.

"Ow…" Len muttered holding his head, then he struggled to keep his eyes open. Wait..don't tell me.

Plop!

"He fainted?!" I shouted in surprise. I peeked in his doorway and saw nobody, geez and you'd think someone with a house this big might've had a maid or two.

I then started dragging his feet to his bedroom. Whatever it was, but telling by the banana decorations on a particular door next to the bathroom. I'd say that was Len. And it was.

I then dragged him across his yellow banana room, and dragged him on top of his bed. "Geez Len, you're so fat." I muttered.

(Len's POV)

"Geez Len, you're so fat." I heard Rin mutter.

How offensive! I would've jumped up and shouted at her, but decided the best wise decision was not to, and kept my eyes clothes pretending to be asleep. I did wake up when I felt Rin dragging me, I just didn't get up cause I wanted to see what she'd do...also I liked the closeness of us.

And damn, that girl can drag. I then felt Rin petting my hair, "You dummy Len...you made me miss class." She muttered.

She's blaming me...this is not going good! I never should've told Kaito to leave a note. "It's ok...I hate school so it's a good thing." Rin sighed,

I peeked my right eye to see her, and she was facing away. In a federal position, hands and knees up to her face in a ball. She was on the floor, next to my bed.

I debated for a bit whether to wake up or just listen to Rin...I think listening is better. She changed, I could at least try to know her.

I closed my eye and shifted a bit. And turned my back away from Rin, she noticed and looked at me. She felt my forehead. Her's was cold…

"You're burning up...geez you should've gotten a maid Len. Your family is rich you can afford it." Rin groaned, and started walking out to get god knows what.

I do have a maid, she's not here on weekdays during school hours only the evenings after school. She also works at a cafe part time, best not to disturb her.

I heard Rin's footsteps and felt a cool ice bag on my head. I then heard Rin pull up some type of chair, and then took a pillow from my desk and rested her head.

"Len, don't wake me up if you do wake up before me." Rin muttered, before falling asleep. I then turned and looked, she was asleep, on my bedside moved the lamp a bit and resting her head.

'Cute' Was the first thought that came into my mind. Innocent, her bow flopped side ways against the desk, she was hugging her bookbag and slept in a federal curvy position,

I soon fell into the comfort of sleep with her.

A few hours later.

"Nnghhh." I heard a whimper. I woke up, and saw Rin's face. Tears falling and her biting her lip a bit.

I quickly took her head, and put her against my chest. I did not know what to do obviously, but this was the best thing I could think of.

She quickly relaxed, and fell asleep. I then put her gently under the covers and began walking to the kitchen to get some medicine.

It was 1pm almost school's done. But most students were on break, and that meant Mikuo was on break too.I texted him.

To: Mikuo Hatsune

From: Len Kagamine

Mikuo what did you tell Rin?

To: Len Kagamine

From: Mikuo Hatsune

Um, that your house is big, and white. Why?

I inwardly sighed and apologized to Mikuo through text.

To: Mikuo Hatsune

From: Len Kagamine.

Sorry man, Rin came over to help me feel better but she ended up sleeping. I woke up when she was whimpering.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Mikuo Hatsune

Whimpering? How come? Wait don't involve me in this, look my advice is not bother her about it. And just gain her trust to be her friend again at least.

To: Mikuo Hatsune

From: Len Kagamine

And how do you suppose I do that?

To: Len Kagamine

From: Mikuo Hatsune

Just be nice to her and see what happens, then pop the friend question.

I nodded subconsciously to the phone. How am I supposed to 'pop' the question? Nonetheless how the hell am I supposed to do that being SICK?

I heard footsteps and Rin walked in the kitchen. "Are you feeling better?" She asked.

I nodded. "Good I should be heading back, we might be ending school soon but I want to at least talk to Gumi and Miku." Rin announced and started walking out.

I had to think fast to stop her, "Would you like to eat something before you go?"

Rin shook her head, "I'm not-" her stomach grumbled, she blushed in embarrassment, "Ok a little. Whatcha got?"

"Tacos fresh made by my mom." I said, looking through the fridge, taking out the taco and showing it to her..

Rin nodded, "Sounds good."

I started to microwave it and walked to the dinner table across Rin. "So… how's life." I asked awkwardly.

"Good."

"Go on any trips?"

"No."

We sat in silence. And the tacos were ready, I quickly gave one to Rin. She ate quickly then got up.

"You'll be ok right?" Rin asked, with concern?

I nodded silently. Rin started to walk towards the door.

'POP THE QUESTION BAKA LEN! DON'T BE KAITO!' Mikuo's voice rang through my head.

"Um...wait." I said.

Rin turned around raising her eyebrow.

"Um...I know this is early and I kinda made you come here by force. I er...apologize for that." I walked closer, but careful to stay near the entrance of the kitchen, "Can we be friends? Again, not close, heck we don't have to be friends but acquaintances, but please?" I asked. Nervousness rising in my heart.

Rin sure took her sweet time answering, she answered after about five minutes, "Yes...but don't act cocky about it ok?" she sighed.

I nodded slowly, "I won't."

She nodded, smiling for the first time, and walked out the door closing it shut. I felt like screaming, I feel like I've won the lottery! I was doing an inner victory screech. Then I decided to go to the window and watched Rin's figure slowly disappear down the hill. I really hope I get better by tomorrow. I want to go to school, to see Rin.
