I like this chapter, even though it's short. Did it in about twenty minutes, so that's why. R&R people, make a writer feel appreciated! Lol. A Presto. And I do not own The Used or they're song, All that I've got. I just love it X)

Chi No Hana: hope you like the next chapter.

"Mr. Kon. Visitor to see you." The large man at the door knocked impatiently on the wood, letting in Teira and closing the door behind her. Rei looked up from his corner and managed a half smile in Teira's favor. She smiled back and sat down next to him as usual. Rei had on earphones and was listening to music from a black iPod. Relief Through Health didn't allow CDs, DVDs or anything with a sharp edge to come past the guards, but iPods seemed to be ok. Teira looked down at the screen as it flashed a new song. The words streamed through the ear pieces and Teira recognized the lyrics right away.

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me.

I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not.

I'm far from lonely,

And it's all that I've got.

She hummed along with the rhythm, taking Rei by surprise. "All that I've got…isn't it?" his team mate whispered the name of the song. Rei nodded and took out the earpiece closest to Teira, handing it to her. She laughed and put it in her ear, listening to the words clearer now.

So deep that It didn't even bleed and catch me,

Of guard, I'm caught red handed,

Now I'm far from lonely,

Asleep I still see you lying next to me

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me

"I like it." She spoke up and Rei paused the song, looking down at the black object. "I've been listening to it a lot." He sighed. "It has a cool…message." Teira stared off into space as Rei clicked the play button and the words came drowning back in.

I need something else

Would someone just please give me

Hit me and knock me out

And let me go back to sleep

I can't laugh

All I want inside I still am empty

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me…

"…bleed and catch me…" she whispered, repeating the lyrics. Rei closed his eyes and set his head back against the wall. "You don't get it, do you?" he asked. Teira shook her head. "Explain it to me."

Rei sighed, letting his chest rise up and down, taking in even breaths, "I wish that I could go that deep. Where it would stop bleeding." Teira turned to him, suspicious of what he was saying. With a glance at his arm, Rei pulled up his blue sleeve, revealing it to Teira. In seeing it, the younger teen gasped. Rei had scratched one of his healing scars, ripping it open until it bled out onto his skin. Crimson droplets where forming around the wound, rained down his arm. Teira pressed a finger lightly across the blood, and looked down at it, horrified. Rei gazed down at the damage, a frown on his face. I wish that I could go that deep. Where it would stop bleeding. For a moment Rei locked eyes with Teira before whispering, "…guess I can't."

Nother chapter. A bit more depressing, and kinda a set back for Rei, but you'll have to read the next chapter to see if he keeps it up.

Next Chapter: Teira tries to get through to Rei. Could it be a break through?

L2B out.
