EDIT: MARCH 20 2016

Hi everyone, you're probably here because you got an email notification of a new chapter of the fanfiction "Meltdown." I'm sorry to be writing this, but I deleted the story. I'm sorry for not updating this fanfiction in two years. I've been pretty busy and even when I had time to update, I didn't have the motivation to write a complete chapter for this fanfiction. I've had many ideas over the years and planned out the ending since day 1, but I don't think I'll ever finish the story.

When I first started this story I thought it was just going to be another cliche highschool Vocaloid fanfiction. And in many ways, it is. Very cliche and unrealistic. But it was so much fun to write this in the summer of 2012 and months later too. I don't want to get super personal with this message, but it's kind of hard not to when this story meant so much to me. This was the summer before my sophomore year in high school. Now I'm a freshman in college, going for Education.

I will always be grateful for the experiences that this story brought me. I've always wanted to be a writer and publish something in the future, and with this story I began to realize how real that dream could be. Within the first chapter I began to receive positive reviews from people asking me to write more. And it kept piling up chapter by chapter and I looked forward to reading and replying to everyone's messages. I felt so appreciated and happy and I grew to have this confidence in my writing skills that I didn't have before. Of course, when I look back I can notice so many mistakes in my writing, but what mattered was that that was the moment when my faith in my skills began growing. And sometimes, as embarrassing as this may be, I go back to the review section and read a couple positive reviews to make myself feel better.

And I made friends with this story too. Sure, I haven't talked to them in a very long time, but it was so much fun to get to know them and talk to them about our stories.

And I've gotten so emotionally attached to these characters and their personalities. There are days where even now I listen to a Vocaloid song and think of a scene with one of the characters from this story.

I really don't know how to put this into words. I keep going back and deleting paragraphs because I'm so emotional right now. I don't want this story to end because of what all it means to me, but I know I'll never finish it.

The ending was going to be relatively happy. Rin and Len were going to end up together after having broke up for a couple months. From what was last posted, Len was going to begin to have mixed feelings about commitment and what it all means. Rin was also going to experience jealousy and doubt in their relationship, mostly because of all these new feelings from having her first serious relationship. After Len accidentally pushes it too far physically, Rin becomes more distant and Len begins to start to accidentally flirt with the new girl. This eventually all leads to them arguing often until a final break where Rin decides to break up with Len and stops talking to him. This is at the end of the school year, and they don't speak for nearly the whole summer. That's why I named the story "Meltdown." Rin was planned to have a meltdown towards the end of the story after what all had happened. I have some of it in my notes, if anyone wanted to read that scene. But eventually, after apologizing many times and trying to give Rin some space, the two meet up again on a July night and make up before slowly working towards dating again.

Teto and Oliver were also going to end up dating-by the end of the school year, in fact. Oliver was going to finally be told what happened between Teto and Neru (they were best friends until Neru began to change for the worse by gossiping with Miku, and Teto pushed her into a swimming pool at a summer party one night after Neru having texted everyone something embarrassing about Teto.) Neru also eventually dumps Oliver just when Oliver learns about Teto's feelings. He tries to talk to Teto afterwards, but after being ignored so he can be with Neru, she doesn't want to talk to him. She also believes that he knew about her feelings before, and that if he did really like her, he would have broken up with Neru long before. Eventually they start talking again after Miki and Gumi tell them how dumb they're being avoiding each other like that.

Miku and Kaito start dating again towards the end of the school year. At one point they start to become friends and revisit their past romantic feelings. Kaito informs Luka about his changed feelings before asking Miku out, though. Luka is sad to hear the news, but understands.

Luka and Aito never end up together. But they do remain friends. Gumi breaks up with Aito in the next chapter that I never posted, because just like Rin, she knows how much he still loves Luka. Although broken up, they remain friends too and Gumi helps him move on from Luka all while moving on herself. By the end of the school year, all of them are friendly to each other.

Luka's mom finds out about the cheating, but not specifically who it was with (Meiko). The two get a divorce and over the summer, details are being sorted out. Luka is devastated by this news, and grieves with Rin, and eventually, Aito too.

Miki finally confronts Piko enough to learn about the abuse going on in his home with his mother's abusive boyfriend (who she shortly breaks up with). This makes her completely forget about talking to him about their possible romantic relationship and she only focuses on trying to make him feel safe again. It's hinted that they begin to date, but neither of them really ask each other directly.

I still have a file with all the chapters that I posted on if anyone wants to read them. If you have any questions about the story, feel free to ask me through reviews or by private message.

Thank you for reading.
