Rin POV.
I planned to tell them today. Rei and Len, they deserve to know. I have no idea why, but a strange feeling lingered in my chest. The feeling of fear, of dread, or maybe of relief and hope. I went to them before they came to me this morning and blurted out the entire list of things that happened recently. My father abusing my sister, me getting sick, my sister taking my place in school. They were both speechless. I mean, how could anyone have anything to say about that? This stuff, this chain of events… it just sounds like a story. A story you would find in a storybook. At last, they spoke. Rei responded in his usual quiet tone, " If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it." Len nodded in agreement, "We'll do our best to help you and your sister." I gave them both a bright smile. "Thanks!" I exclaimed with pure happiness. Then, I wasn't sure if it was just me, or I think I saw Rei blushing?
Rei POV.
I have a crush on Rin. I admit it. I'd known it a long~ time ago, but I never had the courage to say so. Should I tell her? The bell rang, interrupting my thoughts, and I went back to my seat.
Len POV.
I like Rin's sister. I feel bad for her and I want to help. I wonder if her wounds are all right. Maybe the small scratches have healed already? I hope so. I might as well go to her house again today.
AFTER SCHOOL
Rei and I tagged along with Rin to her house, and the first thing we saw was the old man (their father) sleeping soundly and snoring loudly. Rui was kneeling on the tile floor picking up glass shards that used to be a plate. Rin made her way over and indicated that she will do the work, letting the tired younger sister rest. Rui nodded and went upstairs to Rin's room. I followed her. She turned around, noticing me. "Hi, Len. Did you come here for something?" I shook my head. "Not really. I just came here to see if you're okay." She blushed slightly, and I could feel my own cheeks turning pink.
Rui POV.
I can't believe it. He came all the way here to see me? …. He's blushing… I think I am too. I sat down on the edge of Rin's bed. Pulling my sleeves up, I unwrapped the bandages on my arms and replaced them with new, white ones. Len helped me. I have to admit, he's really sweet. He carefully lifted my skirt and started undoing the tightly wrapped bandages. Normally, peeling them off would hurt, but I've been through so much, it wasn't painful at all. It was just a small tickle, maybe even less. Rin opened the door and came in, just happening to see Len with his hands on my thighs. Rin backed out quickly and slammed the door shut. Then we heard Rei's voice. "What's wrong?" he asked. Rin answered, " I don't know. Len's doing something with my little sister. I have no idea what."
Rei POV.
Huh? What could make Rin like this? I decided to ask something else. "So…. What did he do that made you think this way?" She thought for a moment, then she said, "He was squeezing her legs. Laps, to be exact." I considered that. "So…. Maybe…" I started. "He was se-" Before I could finish, Len's voice cut me off. "I WASN'T!" Rin laughed. I chuckled with her.
Finally out of WB! R&R! ^^
