Momo-chan: Oh my gosh! *bows down* I'm so sorry for making all of you wait this looongg! I swear I had this chapter finished two months ago. But seems to hate me because I cant upload anything when I try to. I'm so lucky that it finally worked this time. *sighs* Anyway after this chapter I think I will upload the last chapter already. I had a sad ending made up on my mind already, half of it was already typed in my phone. I can't write or upload stories now though because I have many exams and projects to do. Sorry ^^. But if you people want it, I will upload an alternate ending, a happy one. But I guess I'll put up the sad one first hahahah XD

Chapter10:Think About It
Lenalee's POV
"Lavi..." I whispered quietly to myself. Misty eyes staring at the framed picture of me and Lavi grinning happily for the camera. His hand was behind my head to make something like devil horns while he was smiling mischievously. I felt myself smile at the picture. Staring at our happy faces with some effort since my tears blurrs my vision already. I just hope this happy picture won't be the last.
But looking back at it, maybe it is the last one.
I didn't know that him marrying Sachiko would turn everything upside down. What's the sense of being friends with him again if I won't see him anyway?
Worthless.
"Lenalee?" It was Allen. I heard him close the door quietly behind him and walk towards me on the couch. I didn't bother to look up. I was too tired to. He sighed and slowly sat beside me, his breathing calm and almost soothing. Letting me know that he was here to either confront me or comfort me. Or maybe both.
He waited for me to reply for awhile, but I didn't even looked up from the picture to acknowledge his presence. He sighed once again, from the corner of my peripheral vision I saw him running his hand through his white hair, his gesture reminding me of Lavi's own habit of doing that whenever his depressed.
"You should go to their wedding." This made me look up. Me, finally giving him some form of reaction made him smile softly.
"Why?" I asked, confused as to why I should come to the ceremony just to witness them give their vows to each other.
"To stop him."
"Huh?""
Lenalee, as much as Lavi was smart and clever, he's really clueless of what he should do. I don't think he even know that he was already going to marry someone. And as much as he wasn't vocalizing it, he needed help to get out of this one. He was at a loss and you should make him remember why he should decline the marriage."
My eyes slightly widened. He needed help? Really? Since when did he needed any help? As far as I remember he was the one always giving help. I looked back at the picture lying solemnly on my hands. My eyes diverted to his smiling face. He looks so innocent. Like a little kid. This made me remember one thing. He's not perfect. Maybe he really don't know what to do.
Maybe he really needed my help.
I flinched when I felt Allen wipe away tears from my cheeks, only then did I realize that I was already crying. I looked up at him and saw him smiling."Allen?"
"Hmm?"
"Why are you smiling?"
If possible his smile only grew calmer. Soothing. It made me wonder how can he be like that."I know you know I like you. That's why you're wondering why am I not sulking and instead I look happy, right?" He asked as he smoothed my hair while running his thumb up and down the side of my face where tears continue to fall silently.
I diverted my eyes from him and gave him a small nod."I am smiling because I am happy, Lenalee." I looked back at him again with a confused frown which he answered with a quiet and almost inaudible chuckle, his silver grey eyes offering so much comfort it only made me cry more.
"I am happy for you Lenalee. Because I know Lavi loves you back, even if he was still not very sure of it."
"H-How can you be like that?"Allen tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, seeming to understand my question without needing further explanation. He forced his eyes to meet mine, a short silence signified he wanted me to listen carefully.
"It's simple," I frowned in confusion once again, but his next words caught me off guard. ...
"You only need to be happy for the one you love."
My eyes widened slightly before, if possible, more tears came out. So much I thought they are going to rid my body from water. I tried to wipe them away but Allen caught my hand and shook his head. I whimpered before jumping over to his chest where I chose to sob for about an hour as Allen patted my back.
Now the question is, should I just be happy for Lavi?...Or stop him from tying himself to someone he didn't love?
Another week passed and now was the day of their wedding. The day I had been praying never to come. Lavi had been always serious, quiet, deep in thoughts, and emotionless for the past days. I can't even talk to him. Whenever I tried to he would only glance at me then look away to continue thinking about something. He never smiled since then. And he only grew worse from day to day as we neared the date of the ceremony I thought he would die emotionally on the actual wedding.
Or maybe, he already died inside.
I shook my head angrily. Frustrated at the thought and by the fact that I could actually be right. Just what would happen to him once he was already married if he was already like this? "Lavi. I hope you are telling me what's going on inside your head." I murmured to myself while looking at myself at the mirror, already dressed with a formal attire for the wedding. Though I am not sure if I should go or not. I still doubt if I could actually help him or just make things worse for the both of us.
I sighed loudly as I flopped down on my bed, the light blue knee-high frilly dress wrinkling slightly and was raised in different angles around my thigh. I couldn't do this! I don't even have confidence in myself that I could stop this if even Lavi can't do anything about it. He was always the one better than me in everything, right? So what exactly could I do to get him through this if even he seemed to have given up?
"Aaargh!" I yelled and raised my hands up to cover my eyes while my feet were kicking over the bed in pure frustration. "What am I supposed to do?" I continued to assault my bed until I accidentally knocked over the picture frame over my bedside table. It fell on the floor with a resounding crack. I flinched then hurriedly picked it up, only to find out the glass was already broken which gave me a bad feeling. I frowned then realized that the picture inside it was the picture of the two of us when we were kids. I felt myself smile sadly at the two dirty faces of the boy and the girl holding ice cream cones, the boy was grinning from ear to ear while the girl was not looking at the camera but instead was gaping at him.
I remembered why their faces were dirty in this picture. It was because some bad kids snatched my ice cream and pushed me on the ground.
Flashback:
"Ouch!" I fell on the rough and muddy ground as a boy pushed me in order to get my ice cream. He laughed at me and his friends joined.
"Haha! Why? Does the baby wants her candy back?" He teased while bringing the ice cream cone near my face. I tried to grab it but he pulled it back then laughed some more. Tears began to well up my eyes just as the mean kid got pushed roughly on the ground, my ice cream cone landing on his face which made him gag and spit out.
"Leave her alone!" Lavi warned, unconsciously handing me his one cone in a gesture of getting ready for a little fight. The boy snorted in distaste.
"Tsk. Lavi, why do you always have to stand up for that sissy? You can always join us anyway. You'll be a good addition for a friend."
Lavi's face only grew darker, which made the other kids slightly step back in fear and instinct, having heard and experienced his wrath before. "Addition? Heh. No way in hell would I join you freaks." His words stunned me a little, since I didn't know he can speak dirty at such a young age.
"Who're you calling a freak?"
"Who am I talking to in here?"
"How dare you!" The kid attempted a punch, on which Lavi dodged before pushing him away. The kid stumbled back. The other boys ran away but the others stayed and was pushing Lavi around. Lavi was good in fighting, but being outnumbered is the case. He was now full of scratches and bruises, having hit the rough ground several times already that I was begging for them to stop.
"What do you kids think you're doing? Leave the poor boy alone." The mean kids ran away at the voice.
"Nii-san!" I ran to him sobbing, hugging him tightly with my eyes closed shut since I can't bear to look at Lavi's beaten up body. I fear he won't be able to walk anymore. I can't take to look at him.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked around and saw that it was my poor friend, smiling at me with a hint of pain on his face. "L-Lavi..." He smiled more at me, pulling me in a comforting and friendly hug. I gaped on his shoulder, shocked about his actions when I thought he'll be a limp forever.
"W-Why are you hugging me? You're the one who got hurt."
A chuckle escaped him. "Nah. You're the one who needs comforting anyway. I know what you're thinking. You don't really have to worry about me, I heal fast, but thanks for the concern nonetheless."
I smiled at him. "Y-You're silly, you know that?"
"Tch. Of course I know that." Lavi backed away then ruffled my hair. Nii-san chuckled at us with two ice cream cones in his hands, only then did I noticed he left us for awhile. He gave one to each of us then asked us to pose for a picture
."Lenalee?"
"Ok, in three." Komui warned.
"Yes?" I asked in confusion.
"3..."
"I will.."
"2..."
"..always be..."
"1..."
"...there for you..."
"Eh?"
SNAP!
