Sickness
Chapter 2: Memories
"What did you tell him?" Renee asked as Lan and her walked to the kitchen. "You didn't tell him, did you?"
Lan crossed his arms and puffed out like a fish. "I almost did, but you walked in." He replied.
"Lan," Renee said as she shoved the bowl at him. "If he knows that I'm worried, he'll worry, not about his self, but about me. That's not good."
Lan took the bowl and looked into Renee's eyes. "I know, but he might…he needs to know." He replied as he looked away from her and at the pictures on the wall. There was one picture with Renee, Chaud, Lan, and their friends when they were visiting Yai at her new house. "Remember that picture?" He asked as he tried to change the subject.
Renee nodded. "I remember," she replied as a smile appeared on her face. "Yai almost killed Chaud when he told her that he was bringing me along. She thought I was his girlfriend and was very steamed up about it."
"Yea," Lan said as he remembered Yai and Chaud running around the pool because Yai was going to kill him for bringing Renee along. "It was pretty funny though, Chaud ended up falling in the pool and Yai dived after him. Then it turned into a water fight."
Renee laughed. "It was fun, but that was then and this is now." Renee turned from the picture and saw another one. It was the one from when she met Lan. Lan had decided to try and get her to talk, but he couldn't because she was so cold. Later on though, Renee got hit on the head and had amnesia, after that she was so quiet and gentle. Chaud had to learn not to be so strict to her, and after that she almost turned back to her normal self, almost. The day the picture was taken, Renee and Lan had gotten on a roller coaster, and Renee was afraid of heights. While she held on to him, he smiled. When they got off, they started laughing and Maylu took a picture of them.
"It was so long ago," Lan said with a smile, but it vanished. "Everyone was here and no one was sick."
Renee nodded. "I want to go back," she replied and then busted into tears. Lan held her. "I want to see Chaud smiling at me. I want to hear him gripe at me when I've done something wrong. I want him to be happy again. To hear him laugh, see him smile. I want to see all of that again." She looked up at Lan. "Why do things have to change?"
Lan pulled her to him. Why do things have to change? He thought. Why do we have to change?
"Why, Lan?" Renee asked as she looked up at him. "Why?"
Lan looked down at her. "No one wants to lose a friend or a brother," Lan said as he thought of his brother, Saito. Dr. Hikari had given Megaman or Saito a body, which made Lan very happy. Maybe, Lan thought. Maybe dad can do the same thing to Chaud!
"Sometimes, Renee," Lan told her. "Stuff has to change, even if we don't want them to."
Renee had tears streaming down her face when she started crying in Lan's shirt. "Why do I have to lose him?" She asked between sobs. "Why him? Why did he have to get sick? Why couldn't have been me?"
Lan held her close. "I don't want him to go either, for he's my best friend."
