Well, I don't own Death Note or The Cure by Sage Francis. I do own my OC Ren.

Time went on. Mello, Matt and I hung out all the time. Hours turned into days, day into months, and months into a years. Eventually, time grew older, and so did the kids at Whammy's. Everything went on. Life continues, with or without a person there, whether we accept it or not. But how long will a person be gone before we forget they ever existed? And how long till they eventually leave for good?

Rain. Hitting my window in repetitive, off beat patterns. Painting the world and sky in gray, the prefect backdrop to a day with nothing special about it. A dull day. The rain matched the people hiding indoors from it. Everyone was inside for classes. Everyone including me, Mello, and Matt. I was staring out the window when the teacher called my name.

"Ren!"

"What?" I blinked furiously, adjusting my vision from the bleak outside world back to the bright classroom and our yellow clad teacher. Some children snickered, some rolled their eyes. Mello and Matt looked at me, faces worried a bit, frowning.

"Why don't you tell the class what the answer to problem 2 is?" I looked up at the board.

"Four p to the fourth power times q to the third." She looked up, at her paper, then back at me.

"Correct." She said as she looked away. I rolled my eyes and stared out the again, folding my arms on my desk. Classes dragged on and on. Once it ended, Matt waited up for me with Mello.

"What was that back there?"

"What?"

"You didn't use your scrap paper or anything. Why don't you always answer the questions like that? Your ranking would be higher!"

"Cause there's no point in it. It's not like I'll surpass L, and I could never surpass you or Mello. Especially not-"

"Near?" Mello looked angry. He had his arms folded and was glaring at the albino looking child.

"No, I was gonna say you, Mello." He turned to me, a little taken aback by my comment.

"Oh. Never mind, then." We headed back to the dorm. We had to go outside at one point. Mello and Matt ran to the other building, but I walked, twirling in the rain. It dropped and slid down my face like tears.

"COME ON!" Mello yelled from the doorway. I turned and ran, slipping a bit from time to time, even in the hallways. When we got inside, we began playing video games. At about 6:10 P.M, Roger came in with a somber expression.

"Mello, I need to see you in my office." Mello got up and walked out.

"I'll..... be right back..." He said and he exited. I looked over at Matt, a tad bit worried. Had someone else surpasses Mello? What would he do then? Matt just went back to the video game. We sat there for about 30 minutes till Mello barged back in.

"Get out." He barked at me.

"Why? What hap-"

"NOW!" I scrambled to get onto my feet and left as Mello slammed the door behind me. I heard a bit of yelling muffled by the door, some slams, and stuff being moved and opened. Mello stormed out and looked down at me, then back to Matt.

"You have 30 minutes." He walked away and I ran in to see what had happened.

"What was that?" Matt was disconnecting cords to his mass amount of video games and putting them into a big suitcase very carefully.

"Something bad has happened." I sat down next to him.

"Why are you packing your stuff up?" He zipped up the bag and ran over to the closet, flinging stuff randomly into another suitcase.

"I have to go with Mello. Somewhere far away."

"Where are you going that's so far away?"

"I.... I don't know." I grabbed a bag and started packing my things.

"You can't come."

"Why the hell not!?" He looked away, pain evident on his face.

"It's too dangerous for you. I won't risk your life with this." I threw my stuff down and walked over to him.

"I don't care. I don't even know what's going on. What the hell happened?" He looked up at me, tears building in his eyes a bit.

"L..... Died." I took a step backwards. All I could do is whisper "No."

"We are going to take up the case and I don't want the same to happen to you." I furiously shook my head, causing tears to fly.

"No. I am coming with you. You can't leave me here!" Matt stood up and held my head in his hands.

"I don't want to. You don't know how hard this is for me. I have no options at this point." Tears were flowing down my cheeks and puddling up in his hands.

"Believe me. If I had any say in this, you'd be by my side through all of this."

"You CAN have a say! Mello doesn't control your life!" He looked away and went back to packing.

"Please." I neeled down in front of him, drying my tears.

"Please." I grabbed his hands, forcing him to look up at me.

"Don't do this to me." He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me.

"..... Pack your things quickly." I grabbed my things and threw them into the suitcase. We walked down the halls and outside to get to the other side of the orphanage we might never see again. It now had become clear why today had such a bleak outlook from the begging. L's death was not only mourned by those that idolized and loved him. It was mourned by the whole world. We ran to the outside and met Mello, who was waiting with a cab. He looked to me.

"What's she doing here? I thought I told you you were to leave her here."

"I can't do that..." Matt looked away.

"Fuck it, we don't have much time." He snatched the bags from us and flung them into the back of the cab. Matt and I walked towards it and got in. Mello sat in the front.

"Where to?"

"The nearest airport." I sat and looked out the window at the mournful sky, wishing life wasn't always like this. All the killing and war. People dieing for what they believe. Unjust solutions for unjust actions, covered by the cloak of morality and integrity. Tears started forming in the puts of my eyes. I looked to Matt, who was crying as well. I hugged him. For we were not crying alone. The whole world was crying with us.

"Life is just a lie with an "f" in it and death is definite. But after I scratched the surface I never saw the calm before the storm act so nervous." The Cure by Sage Francis

I wanted to write this really bad. I almost stayed up all night, but my mom kicked my mom off at 12:40. ALMOST 1:00!!!!:( I almost cried while writing it. But then again, I am weird.
