'I need to tell Rika it's too much to carry.'
Now--
~~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Ryo's been acting strange lately. Everytime I talk to him, he looks sad.'Rika sat next to her grandma.'His eyes darkened. His smiles are all fake now. He doesn't mean it.'
Ms. Makino entered with some lunch for them.
'Could he be in trouble as well?' Rika continued to wonder.
"Are you hungry?" her mom gave her a sandwich. Rika didn't respond.
'What's wrong with him?'
"Rika? Is there something you wanna talk about?"
"Huh? No, I'm gonna go out for air. Ryo called and he wanted me to meet him." Rika got up."I'll be back later."
"Ok....I'll see you later."
~~~~~~Rika's house~~~~~~~
'Somehow I don't want to hear what he has to say. Like a bad feeling sort of." Rika waived to Ryo.
"Rika, everything is different now." he said. Ryo looked directly at her. The happiness was sucked out of him.
"What's wrong Ryo?"she changed the subject.
"What?"
"I said what's wrong?"
"It's just that I can't take it anymore. Somehow this pain hurts too much."
"What pain?"
"I don't know. But the next thing I knew it I ended up with these."Ryo lifted his left sleeve revealing cuts.
'So he was full of pain, while I'm stuck with this stupidness.' Rika said to herself.
"Ryo, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"I have to go now. I'm sorry Rika." Ryo pulled his sleeve down and left as she continued to sit there.
'Ryo, I'm sorry.' Rika went to her room. Tears stung her eyes while sadness took over her body.
She sat alone holding back her tears. The only person that she trusted was dying inside. He could commit suicide anytime.
'I hate this.' Rika threw a drawer to the nothingness. Her grandma was dying and her friend was too.
She watched the papers fall from the drawer, but one caught her eye.
"The stupid note." she picked it up. It was then she remembered that she had to stop in order to restore her life.
'That could be the answer to all of this.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~~~
'She didn't take it well. Maybe she figured it from before. I feel sorry for her.' Ryo stared at the floor.'I have to call her. I should've kept it to myself.'
"Ryo, did you finish what I told you to do?"
"I'm done. I have to do something else." Ryo got ready."Just changed my plans."
~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~
"........I'm sorry again. Bye."She wrote and put it beside her. Her pillow hid something she was to use previously.
'This is a way out.'
"Rika !" someone called. Rika ignored him and gripped the knife.
"Rika, where are you?!"
'Why did he have to come?' she hid from him.'I need to get back to my mom.'
"Rika."
She ran out trying to avoid him, but Ryo spotted her and ran after her.
"Why are you running?"
"My mom wants me to get back."
Ryo stopped her. Rika forced her anger to come.
"I'm stopping."
"Stopping what?"
"I'm going to stop cutting....because........"
"Listen, I have to go. I told her I'd come right back."
"I stopped because I realized that you needed me to help you." Ryo ignored her.
'Maybe he's finally coming back. I can try to do what my dad said....melt the ice.' Rika noticed.
"Ok."
"Ok what?"Ryo asked.
"For stopping.......um......thanks....I ...guess......" she sighed as Ryo brightened.
"You said something nice for once !"
Rika walked off for the hospital while Ryo went with her.He smiled and it was an honest one.
~~~~~~~~~Hospital~~~~~~~~~~
"Rika. She's getting better!" Ms. Makino greeted."The doctor's came and they said she was improving !"
"That's great mom."
"Another nice thing? You're weird today."
'Maybe my dad has something about this, but not much.'
~~~~~~~~~~Days later~~~~~~~~
Rika's pov
My dad made me see something I had to. My family, and my friends. You didn't think that just because they saved me then I'd be more open with them did you?
"Rika ! Ryo's here."mom said and he came in.
"Hi, how're things doing?"
"Hi." I greeted coming from my room.
"I brought movies. The others are coming later." he lifted the bag.
"Wanna help me set up?"
"Sure."
'I'm surprised of how Rika has finally opened up instead of always hiding.'he placed the bag down and went with her.
"Your friends are here!" my mom announced.
"I need to find the remote, I'll be right back.' I went to my room. I think I was playing with it earlier.
"I'll get the others settled." Ryo went to them.
~~~~~~~~End pov-- Rika's room~~~~~~~~~
"Here it is."she picked it up.
"So, you did it."
Rika turned around and saw the red figure again.
"Well, it's not like I could'nt."
"Well, I'm off my jobs done."
"Bye."
"Rika c'mon,everyone's ready!" Ryo exclaimed.
"Let's get started then." Rika went with them.
"What movie should we start with?"
"Action!"
"Comedy!"
"Romance!" Jeri suggested.
The conversations rose as Ryo and Rika made their way there.
"It's your votes now. What movie?"Jeri asked.
"I know onw that we remember well." Ryo pulled on out of his bag."Something we all know and miss."
"Digimon."Takato read. Kazu and Kenta settled and Rika set the movie up.
'I wouldn't figure that I'd actually spend time with my friends. It seems weird, but I like it. To be with someone instead of being alone.' Rika sat with her friends.
"Thanks Ryo."
"Welcome." he whispered. Rika looked once more and noticed something. Her friends....they were fading. Fading into the closed lights of the room.
'What's going on?"
She opened her eyes and noticed....she was still in a room.
'NO!'
~~~~~~~~~~TBC~~~~~~~~~
Didn't see that coming huh? ^_^ O ya, it's been a couple of months later after they helped her. REview pls.
