Hey Everyone! I'm sorry for not updating any of my stories for months now. A lot has been going on, but now that the school year is almost over, I do plan to update more regularly and start up new stories soon too. So I hope you all enjoy this chapter and please review :)

~Rin P.O.V.~

After the recital ended, Len and I went home with our parents. Since no one could find any crutches, I had to lean on Len from support when we walked to the car. But thankfully Lola told us that my ankle was only sprained and it would heal in a few weeks, before I started at my new school.

Len cupped my waist with his hand as I wrapped my arm around his shoulder. We couldn't move too fast, or I'd stumble over and fall. Len watched me with concern, an intensity growing in his eyes.

I noticed my mom glaring at us from the corner of her eye. But when she noticed me looking at her, she turned her back to us soon after. She mumbled something into my dad's ear, but I couldn't clearly make it out.

My dad unlocked the car and he and my mom went into their seats. Len helped me into the car, gently placing me down and piling both of our dance bags up so I could elevate my foot. I reached over for the seat belt, but Len grabbed it before I could and buckled me in. He then went around the car and went inside.

When we were in the car our father congratulated us, but our mother didn't say a word. It wasn't like her to be that way. Normally she'd at least criticize me for a mistake I made, but nothing. Just her being silent scared me. Our dad started up the car and drove home.

As the ride home progressed I looked over at Len. He had a nervous look on his face, like he was expecting punishment. But for what? He hadn't done anything wrong. Had he? Once he noticed me starring at him, he changed to a happier expression.

I was still worried and I knew he could tell I was thinking about something.

"Don't worry yourself over me, Rin," Len whispered placing a hand on my shoulder. His face was so close to mine then, I could gently feel him breathing against my lips. I looked up into his eyes and nodded my head. He smiled back at me.

Our parents dropped us off at home since they were going to go pick up dinner. After they drove off, Len unlocked the front door. I leaned against him as we walked in and once we were in, he locked the door behind us.

"Do you need anything Rin?" He asked concernedly, "Aspirin? An ice pack?"

I shook my head, "I'm fine. I'm just going to rest in my room." I turned to walk up the stairs, leaving the stability of the wall. Len grabbed my hand before I went off, then scooping me up into his arms.

"I'm not about to let you injure yourself further," Len carried me up the stairs and into my room. Delicately, he placed me down onto my bed. He took one of the pillows behind me and put it under my foot. He sat on the edge of my bed and sighed, "I'm sorry Rin," He began apologizing, "All of this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been there, Lola wouldn't have confused us. Now with school starting in a few weeks, you might not be able to dance."

"Len," I reached my hand over and placed it on top of his, "None of this is your fault. I overreacted and did this to myself. Please don't feel guilty for my mistake."

He smiled lightly at me, "You always know what to say, Rin," He kissed my forehead before getting me to lie back down. "Please rest. I'll come get you when dinner is ready."

I nodded my head as I leaned back into my bed. Len pulled up the covers over me before leaving my room.

~Len P.O.V.~

I sat nervously in the living room facing my parents. When they came back home, hours after I'd put Rin to bed, they told me they wanted to speak to me alone. Well, specifically my mom did. My father had to leave right after he came home since he had a business conference outside of town. So he assured me my mom would take care of what they wanted to tell me.

She glared at me as I waited for her to break the silence in the room. I scratched the back of my neck, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Are you that oblivious to it Len?" Their mom asked, looking like she was about to strangle him. "Do you care about how what happened tonight has affected your sister? What if her ankle injury affects her ability to dance?"

"It's just a sprain though, mom," I objected, but regretted saying so when I saw my mom's expression change.

"Or what about her self esteem?" I watched my mom stand up from the couch across from me and move closer. She began to circle around me, slowly walking, as she spoke, "In those few seconds, to know that her brother was better than her, even though she cares more, was heartbreaking."

Everything after that became a blur. Something came towards me and I shut my eyes. Then I felt a sharp pain on my face. I placed my hand against my raw cheek and looked up at my mom. That's when I registered what had happened.

"She wanted it more than you," She spat in my face as she grabbed my shoulders, "If her friends got it course she'd be sad, but she'd also be happy for them. But because you got it, she gave up the drive she once had to dance. What if she's no longer as good as she used to be?"

I wasn't sure of what to say, so I averted my gaze from her's. But that only further fueled her anger. Her grip on my shoulders tightened and I cringed in pain.

"It's all your fault Len," She exclaimed, grabbing my chin and turning my gaze back to match her's. "I thought putting you in dance with your sister so she'd always have a good partner would benefit her. If Rin doesn't do well at this new school, I'll be pulling both of you out and your sister's dreams will be crushed all because of you."

Both of us turned towards the stairs when we heard the sound of footsteps. My mom moved away from me and sat back down on the other couch. Rin hobbled into the living room, so our mom helped her down onto the couch. I tried to calm down; worried that Rin could have heard what happened between mom and me. However Rin seemed perfectly fine, with a sweet smile across her face.

"Len," Rin turned to me, "Are you okay?"

I nodded my head, "You need to get your rest. School only starts in three weeks and you need to heal."

As I spoke I noticed mom glaring at me. What happened between us wasn't going to be forgotten by her and if anything goes wrong I know she'll blame me.

I glanced over at Rin, I couldn't hurt her again.

I cared too much about her to watch everything she worked for go to waste.

That's too much drama for Len ;_; Leave a review, it's like a hug for Len. Next chapter will be a bit of a skip to when Rin and Len start school, and let's just say a lot more drama is soon to come ;)
