A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I'm just now finding the free time to do so. I hope you enjoy this chapter, also a new character. ^^

Armin's POV:

Sometimes, I feel helpless. I feel as if no matter what I do or say, she feels even more alone than before. I wish I knew what to do, but I don't. I hate the thought of her being all alone. Yeah, both of our parents are gone, but at least I have Alexy. She has no one, and there's nothing I can do.

I never really know what to do or say to comfort her, so I usually end up sitting in silence with her until she eventually dismisses me. We just end up arguing instead of comforting each other. I hate fighting with her or making her cry, but I have needs too. I want to be treated like her boyfriend again, instead of a pesky fly who can't find his way outside. I wake up early on Sunday morning in hopes of catching Raine's aunt before she takes off again. I throw my shoes on and head out the door, hoping I didn't miss her.

I hesitated as I knocked on the door. Would Raine get upset with me if she knew I was going to talk about her to her aunt? I truly hope not. I just need to know what I can do to help her. I lightly knocked on the red door to Raine's residence, hoping her Aunt would be the one to answer. I heard a slight shuffle as the door slowly opened.

"Armin?" She raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you with something?" She asked. "Would you like me to go and grab Raine? She's still asleep but she needs to wake up anyway." I shook my head. "No, actually. I have something I would like to discuss with you." She gave me a questionable look before shifting to let me pass by her into the house. "Sit anywhere." She instructed. "Sorry the house is such a mess, I'm trying to find everything and pack again but things keep running away." I chuckled at her comment. I settled for the kitchen table, while Raine's Aunt sat in the chair diagonal from me. "Mind if I smoke in here? I usually don't since Raine is allergic, but it's a stressful time for us all." I shook my head no as she lit up a cigarette.

She took a long drag and blew the smoke out. "Let me guess, you're concerned about Raine." I slowly nodded my head. "I am as well. I can't ever be here for her, and when I try to take off, she always tells me that I don't have to just for her and to enjoy my trip." She takes another drag off of her cigarette. "Stubborn, that girl. Just like her mother."

"What was her mother like?" I questioned. Raine usually never wanted to talk about her mother much. She gave it a little thought before answering. "Her mother was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever known. We were very close. She had a personality much like Raine's. She always tried to make people feel their best and loved to express herself." She dug through her purse on the table and pulled out a photo.

"Here. That's her on the far left." I took the photo gently and studied it carefully. Her mother was almost a spitting image of Raine, only taller, tanner, and lighter hair. Their facial features were definitely similar. I looked over the rest of the photo. I saw an older boy with semi-long black hair, much like mine. He was covered in tattoos and had a sleeve of them on each arm. He had his arms around two girls who looked ….Similar? "Um, did Raine have a twin?" Auntie nodded. "Her name is Sunny. She's still alive, but her and Raine don't get along too well. By that I mean Sunny doesn't like Raine much at all, but Raine loves Sunny. It's a sibling rivalry thing." Auntie shrugged. I set the photo on the table gently. Auntie pointed to the older looking boy. "That's Raine's older brother, the one who recently passed away." She pointed to a younger boy, petting a dog on the ground. "That's her youngest brother, the other to pass away." She pointed to the oldest looking man. He had a serious look on his face, but cracked a smirk as the picture was taken. He had jet black hair, partially slicked back with a huge bicep tattoo. "That's Raine's father. The location of him and Raine's mother are unknown still." I slowly nodded, taking everything in. I never asked much about Raine's family because the topic was a little tender to her. I never wanted to upset her. "So, her sister Sunny. Is that the only sibling Raine has left?" Auntie nodded. "That's right. When Sunny and Raine were younger, they always wanted to learn as many instruments as they could. Sunny tried violin, Raine was better. Sunny tried to learn drums, Raine was better. So on and so forth. That's how it always was. Raine was just a natural, and Sunny eventually had enough. She spat as many mean words at Raine that she could, and left to join a music academy. We've never heard from her since. I do however, know she still attends the academy. After Raine's parents left, I did a little digging and found this." She pulled out a number. "If you want Raine to start to heal, your first step is to probably bring her the only family she has left."

Heavy with thought, I walked home. I wondered how upset Raine would get for me prying, but I felt as if there was nothing else I could do. I felt as if there was no way I could assist her anymore in trying to heal. Maybe if I contacted Sunny, she would be able to feel something again, instead of numbness. I dropped onto my bed and dug out my cellphone. I carefully dialed the number and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Is this Sunny?"

"Um, yes?"

"I have a story for you, if you would like to hear it."

Raine's POV:

I was walking home with Castiel, carefully counting each pebble as they passed by my worn out black converse sneakers. Castiel walked in silence, he knew all too well that I probably wouldn't respond even if he did say something. We reached my door and he gave me a hug before descending down the street once more to return home. I unlocked the door and threw my shoes off. I drug my feet to the base of the stairs. As I was about to go up the stairs, I heard a noise. In a panic, I grabbed a steak knife from the kitchen. I slowly started to walk up the stairs. The closer I got to the top, the sound changed into something.. Beautiful?

The nostalgia that the sound brought with it was mind blowing. All of the times my family would have get-togethers, all of the times my sister and I would play a piece together.

My sister.

I reached the guest room and turned the handle slowly with shaking hands. When the door swung open, I saw a sight I never thought I'd see again.
I saw a girl, my age. In a beautiful beige lace floral dress, beige and light pink sandals, and long, curly black hair. She was tanner than me, but somehow still pale. She had a calm look on her face, as she strummed on a harp to "River Flow In You" by Yiruma. I felt my knees start to give out as I recognized the piece. Our piece.

"S-Sunny?" I stuttered. She looked up at me with those eyes I see in the mirror every morning. Those big and beautiful eyes that we share. She offers me a little smile before looking down at the knife in my hand. "Honestly, Raine? What damage would one of Auntie's dull steak knives do to an intruder?" I giggled before dropping it and running to her, pulling her into a tight embrace. We sat there for a long time, just clutching to one another and desperately trying to make up for lost time. 3 years lost due to anger. 3 years without my twin sister; my best friend.

Soon enough, the happiness faded and was replaced by grief. The emotions I kept bottled up felt like it was about to burst. I knew Sunny could sense it; she always knew. "So, they're really gone, huh.." I nodded slowly as both of us let our healing process begin. We held each other and let out every last tear we've held in since that day. We let ourselves fall apart, just to get picked up again by one another. We allowed each other in with hard hats, desperately trying to heal one another and fix what was broken.

After what felt like hours, we were finished crying and instantly trying to cheer each other up. We moved to the couch and started watching reruns of American Horror Story on Netflix while catching each other up on how our lives were going. "So, I heard you had a boyfriend now." She said, raising one eyebrow. I blushed slightly. "Yeah, his name is Armin. He's our neighbor, actually." Sunny giggled. "Does he have a brother?" I chuckled. "Yeah, but he's gay." She pursed her lips. "But, I think I may have someone I know that will fit your tastes just fine. Sunny narrowed her eyes. "For some reason, that scares me a little." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

We continued to watch Netflix before I realized something. "So, are you transferring to Sweet Amoris?" Sunny nodded. "As of tomorrow, I'm officially a student at your school." I squealed and knocked her over. After a couple more episodes, we fell asleep on the couch.

We woke up the next morning, pressing cold spoons to our eyes to take away the swelling. I went in one bathroom to get ready, she went into another. I decided to wear a semi-tight fitting Green Day shirt, black cut off shorts, and black knee-high socks with some short black combat boots. I pulled my long black hair into a messy bun, leaving a few strands out to frame my face and sides of my neck. I tied a grey bandana into a bow and put it in my hair as a headband. I winged my black eyeliner on top and put on light red lipstick. After I finished getting ready, I walked outside to see Sunny dressed in a coral lace top with a white kami underneath, white jean shorts, and coral sandals. Her makeup was done to a T and her lips were a pale pink. She had a beige canvas school bag on her back, and a pretty diamond tennis bracelet. I rolled my eyes. "We are total opposites." Sunny giggled and shrugged as I grabbed my Nintendo drawstring bag and walked out the door, arm in arm.

We saw Armin walk outside his house, almost walking into a tree due to him playing his PSP while walking. Alexy trotted out next, dancing to some techno music blaring from his headphones. I put my finger to my lips, asking Sunny to keep quiet. She understood and nodded as I slowly started to creep behind Armin. I peeked over his shoulder to see him playing God of War. I put my hands over his eyes and he froze. "Alexy, I told you not to do that while I'm playing my PSP. If I die and have to start over, it's in your hands." He swerved around and my lips crashed upon his. With wide eyes, he slowly started to deepen the kiss and wrapped one arm around my waist, while the other was cradling my face. "Well, good morning to you too.." I chuckled at the flustered look on his face. "Good morning, Armin." I mumbled before pulling him in for another kiss.

We all walked into Sweet Amoris, chatting amongst ourselves. As soon as we walked through the main doors, I saw Sunny's nose scrunch up. "What is that god awful smell?" I pointed to the café. "Mystery Meat Wednesday." Sunny cringed a little. "Awesome." She mumbled, making me burst out giggling.

I weaved my fingers through Armin's as we led Sunny to the counselor's office so she could get enrolled. My other half at my side and my sister back in my life, what could possibly go wrong?
