Chapter Ten

-Who Am I To Say

/Love of my life

my soulmate

you're my best friend.

Part of me like breathing

Now, half of me is left.

I don't know anything at all

Who am I to say you love me?

I don't know anything at all.

Who am I to say you need me?

Color me blue I'm lost in you./

-RIN

Len hadn't woken up on time this morning either. His bedroom door was open slightly. I couldn't resist step in briefly. I could hear his even deep breaths as he slept. Len slept on his tummy with one arm was over his head and the other over the side of the bed. The bedcovers were a mess, tangled around his legs. I surpressed a giggle and left his room, he deserved all the sleep he could get.

Today, that girl, Gumi, will be coming over.

Maybe even to take him away.

Len. The famous Minami Len from EXILE.

Who would've thought that he'd end up with amnesia in my apartment.

I skipped breakfast but let Len fome food in the fridge. My classes went by fast. Miku still talked to me like usual as if there was nothing wrong. It was only obvious since I hadn't been telling her the whole truth about Len. And then there was Mikuo. I hadn't heard from him for days.

In my last period , Math, I couldn't help but keep clicking my pen over and over again. My chin rested on my hand but I was a complete nervous wreck inside. Today, something was going to change. I could feel it. It was tearing at the edges of my mind. It was stupid letting myself get to attached to Len. It happened before I even realized it.

I pulled out a sheet of music from my folder. Instead of folding it into a crane, I began to draw notes.

Should I have ignored Len that day in the rain?

I could have just gone on with my life, quiet and peaceful.

When that thought hit me, I wanted to bang my head against the wall.

I can't think like that! I can't let myself regret meeting him.

An image of Len eating across from me in the kitchen table crossed my mind. My face itched with a smile.

/Yorisou nowa, inochi./

I scribbled down the lyrics under the musical staff.

How long has it been since I wrote my own music instead of copying the ones in music class? My mom was a famous pianist. She had elegant, thin fingers. She used to play me songs all the time.

Another image of Len passed throuhg my mind, when he touched the piano and wore that strange sad look.

/Fureau nowa, katachi./

What did I really feel for Len?

Yesterday the way he held me as I cried was so warm and reassuring. I felt a bit embarrased as I remembered, I was just blubbering and he held me the whole time. wasn't he the one in pain? Still, his arms were around me, encasing me in warmth. In was so ...strange the way that I fit perfectly in his arms. As if he was molded just for me.

Eh!

I shook my head. N-no, of course not. I'm losing it.

He'll leave me soon. His room will be empty. I won't hear his usual hummimg of that song that I've come to love.

Love.

Was that what I felt for Len?

An image of Gumi standing in the rain flashed through my memory. That's right. Those wide, green eyes had a look of desperation and ...love. The feeling that she held for Len. I have no idea what happened between him and her in the past. It's useless to ask him either way.

I couldn't help but feel like seeing Len again. Myabe cathc his rare smile.

I picked up the pen that I had dropped and scribbled one more line beofre tucking in the paper in my pocket.

/Koisou wa, itsumo./

-LEN

The apartment seemed unsettling now without Rin. Her bedroom door was wide open. Almost inviting me in. I could see a pile of clothes thrown on the floor and more paper cranes.

In the kitchen I pulled out the onigiri that Rin had left for me. I wondered if she realized that her onigiri are my absolute favorite. I licked my fingers clean of any grains when I finished up and gulped down a galss of green tea.

It was only noon. Rin wouldn't be home for a nother few hours. I wonder when Gumi would drop by. i sent a prayer that Rin wold be here by then. Everything semed a little less tense with her. Atleast for me.

I padded over to the couch and took a seat crossing my legs underneath me. I flipped on the Tv but afteer about half an hour I found myself standing and pacing around again.

Gumi would definantely try to get me to leave with her.

Something in my stomach churned an I felt like throwing up. I dashed to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. The reflction I saw staring back was a lot different from the first time I arrived. I wasn't as pale and the dark circles seemed to have faded a bit. I had Rin to thank for that. For everything. I glanced down at the sweatbands aorund my wrists, I was just running back to whatever pushed me to do that.

I could ask Gumi to tell me.

I felt a bit of shame imagining Rin listening to the answer to that.

My face felt hot remembering what happened last night.

" Well, whatever you choose, wherever you go, I want to be there to help you."

She had said those kind words to me.

I smiled clutching my shirt over my heart, was it bad that I also wanted her to be there?

I heard a buzzing in my ear and an exhilirating rush through my veins.

I drummed my finger over the counter and felt myself start to hum. Awkwardly at first and then I closed my eyes and let the song build itself.

/Shiterruyo. Sekai wa motto tanoshiindesho?/

I remembered the first time that Rin had held out her hand to me in the pouring rain. Her eyes didn't show pity. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and warmth.

/Shitteruyo. Sekai wa motto ureshiindesho?/

I left the bathrrom in a rush. I didn't know what would happen the moment that Gumi would walk in. I didn't know what I would say. I didn't know what Gumi would reveal.

I did know one thing.

One thing was clear to me.

Realizing it made my head clearer and the ache of my lost memories were dulled.

When Rin came home, She glanced at me, I was sitting on the couch staring at my open palms in my lap, Rin smiled a bit and closed the door behind her. She placed her bag in the ground and pulled off her sweater.

"Welcome back." I told her.

She turned to me, and smiled, "Thanks."

She took a seat beside me, folding her hands on her lap, "i wonder when she's coming. Should I make something to eat while we wait?"

I shook my head, "I don't think I have much of an appetite."

"You're right," She turned to me suddenly, her cheeks were a bit red, "Er- you know, Len, i was thinking...I-"

The doorbell cut her off from saying anything else. She gasped and stood up but I grabbed her wrist suddenly making her look at me in surprise.

"Wait, what did you want to tell me?"

She looked at th door and then back at me, "I-it was nothing. I bettter go get that." She pulled her hand out of my grasp and went towards the door.

TRin opened the door and Gumi stepped in. She wore a white t-shirt under a black leather jaket and a green miniskirt with ripped leggings. She really did look like she belonged in the band.

She stomped over to where I was sitting.

"You're living with her? why didn't you mention this to me before!" She was pointing accusingly at Rin who ws still standing in the doorway.

"I thought I did. I'm sorry, "I glanced over at Rin who wore a scowl, "You shouldn't treat her like that, Gumi, you're the guest here."

Gumi rolled her eyes and sat next to me. A little too close. I could smell the thick perfume she wore.

Rin took a seat across from us.

"Are you leaving with me or what?" Gumi asked staring right at me.

I sighed, "I can't just leave with you just like that. I-"

"Why?" her voice got high, "Is it because of her? Does she want some sort of payment?"

Before I could answer Rin stood up almost knocking over the chair she sat on, "Stop acting like I'm not here, Gumi-san! My name is Rin. R-I-N. Kagamine Rin, Got it?" I've never seen her this angry, her cheeks were even more clored than before and her hands were intight, small fists, "If you want to ridicule me then leave. You're len's friend , right? You should be helping him not dragging him by the collar."

Gumi's cheeks flared with embarrassment. Rin was right. I would've said something too but I was afraid that it would be more offending. Rin was too kind. She calmly took her seat once again and glanced at me.

"Gumi, there's something I wanted to know. It's been bugging for me since i woke up on the streets, " I lifted my hands and she stared at the sweatbands, "My suicide wasn't succesful as you can tell. Do you know why I would do such a thing?"

Her green eyes seemed to water and she wiped them quickly. She looked down at the floor silently.

"You..." She started and took in a deep breath, "You were a child prodigy. At least that's what you always told us when your past came up. You said that your father was a famous violinist, you never mentioned a name, and your mother...you didn't like to talk about her only that she was an artist." She glanced up at me.

The information seemed so knew to me. I wondered what they looked like. My fatehr and my mother.

She began again, "Your mother died when you were five, then, your father was a complete mess. He wrecked his career and then he abondoned you. He left you at a parking lot at a 7-eleven. After that, you started to bounce from foster home to foster home. You and I met in middle school. in detention tobe specific. I flipped off a teacher of and you had broken some kid's nose." She let out a small laugh at that. "But you loved to play the piano and I loved to play the guitar. Then, we met Kaito, and basically...EXILE was born."

Rin was silent as she listened in to Gumi. She had her arms crossed over her chest but I could see that she was shivering.

"Who's Kaito?"

Gumi sighed, "He's in the band. Pretty much controls it if you ask me. The day you left you two had a huge argument. You stormed out and he started cursing you with every demon he could think of."

"Is he still mad? Do you know what it was about?"

Gumi shook her head. "He just said that you were an ungrateful brat. Then, you left the hotl where we were staying. You took nothing with you, " She turned and grasped my hand in both of hers, "I didn't know how to find you. Kaito was still furious but I called almost every hotel in the city and then I tried hospitals. They didn't want to tell me anything. You were checked in with just your first name."

"I'm sorry. Maybe I wasn't thinking."

She shook her head, "You were. You always said that you were a bird without wings. I always thought that Kaito and I took them from you. I still think that now. You seem happier now. A lot more. You were always frowning with us. None of your photographs has you smiling." Gumi said sadly.

She stood up and placed sunglasses over her eyes, her cool demeanor was back, "I better get going. I'm sorry I don't quite know what made try to kill yourself but maybe you can think about what I told you and figure it out."

She looked at Rin, "Can I talk to you for a bit?"

Rin nodded and glanced at me hesitantly. She walked with gumi towards the door way. I could hear them talk lowly in the hallway. Like they were whispering.

There weres till holes in the story. What did that guy, Kaito, say to me?

Why did I leave angrily? And where did I go after?

My elbows were on my knees and I placed my face in my hands. i felt releived that she didn't force me to leave with her.

A few minutes later, Rin walked in wiping her eyes.

"R-Rin, what happened?" I asked.

She smiled, "It's nothing. I think we shul eat something now."

I stood up as she turned around and headed for the kitchen. I stood up abruptly and pulled on her wrist, she turned around, and I pulled her into my chest. I could feel her cheek on my shoulder.

"L-Len?"

"I'm sorry, Rin." I murmured.

Ta-Dah! :D
