A/N: Hello there amazing readers. This is the fifth chapter and I'm happy to say that in this chapter a lot of angst. I hope that you like this chapter.

Previously on The Worlds Collide:

" A couple of years ago, I knew someone who was going through some really hard times. I begged him to tell me or anyone else what was hurting him and yet he never told me. After a while, that person changed. He was a really fun person and always smiled and laughed and yet after the accident he stopped. For him to smile a miracle would have had to happen. He took on a sarcastic demeanor that had everyone seeing him as arrogant and cold-hearted. But the truth is I could still see the kindness and love in him. He hardened up by bottling up his emotions and keeping everything to himself. So please… please… if anything is hurting you or you are feeling something… anything at all then please tell me. I don't want to see you get hurt like that and find myself useless. Please" Ran started sobbing.

"Ran… ran-neechan. Please. Please stop crying. I'm sorry. Why can't I ever do anything right. Please stop crying. I can't tell you everything but I promise I'll tell you what I can or feel will be good enough." Conan rambled begging Ran to stop crying.

"Conan-kun stop crying. It's fine I'm sorry I rushed you, but will you really tell me what you can?"

" Yes."

"Then what is wrong Conan-kun?"

" What's wrong… the problem is that everything is wrong. And the problem starts with who I am and what happens around me. I'm sorry… I'm sorry for being like this. I destroy everything that comes close to me. I'm sorry."

" Conan-kun what do you mean? You don't destroy everything."

" Since I was growing up and everything around me was terrible. Wherever I went people would get hurt an eventually people started dying. Everyone around me is in danger of becoming one of those victims. In danger of becoming one of the cases that we see everyday. All because I'm cursed to be like this. And yet everyone chooses to get close to me and become my friend and part of my family. When most people tend to run away when they find out what happens around me. But not you, or the detective boys. No you chose to stay. And I don't want you to get hurt. It hurts to lose people close to you and I don't want to be hurt that way."

Ran was shocked no she was more than shocked, she was astonished and at the same time appalled that a child could have these problems on their mind. She had simply thought that someone was bullying him in school or he had problems with his family at home. But this… this was madness.

" Conan-kun who in the world… WHO IN THE WORLD PUT THESE THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD! You are none… NONE of these things. Your an amazing brother to me and a friend to others. You are the kind boy who helps at the crime scenes and is smarter than all the adults put together but you are nowhere near being a curse and the cause of death. You're a kid who wants to be a detective when they grown up. Not a cursed kid."

" Ran-neechan. I try not saying that and keeping it to myself but I just can't. I mean before I came to live with you and Ojisan I'm pretty sure that you never used to get kidnapped and threatened and put in danger as much as you have now. I mean remember the kid heist with the memories egg, and with the Touto tower shootout and many more that I can't even count."

Ran was beyond speaking now. She was finally allowed to see a new side of Conan… but this… this was not what she was expecting. The side she wanted to see was his real carefree side that she knew existed just like it existed in Shinichi even though he acts exactly like Conan does. Instead she was seeing his self-loathing side, the side that she was scared of. No scared of wasn't right. It's scared for. She was scared for him. She was scared that he might get desperate enough to do something normally she knew he would never dream of. Ut everyone had a breaking part. Even the strongest of them…

Then Conan started outright crying, " I'm tired of having to watch people get hurt because of me. I'd rather be alone then see my family and friends get hurt. Usually it doesn't take long for people to ditch me and get scared once they see what happens around me but no not you guys. You guys… I don't want you hurt. Please understand."

Then Conan started crying hard. This was the first time she saw him cry and she was now sure that she didn't want to see him crying again. No. Anyone but him. When she saw Conan crying she felt something weird. Like something wrong was going to happen. After all this was Conan-kun. Conan-kun didn't cry. He didn't cry no matter what. Not when he got shot and not when he was threatened with death. Ne he stood tall over everyone else and endured all hardships till the end. Seeing him cry felt… it felt wrong. Of course Ran knew she was being selfish because any child should be able to cry but it wasn't that he was just crying… No… it was what he was crying about. This was nothing a child should be going through. Heck not even adults went through this. But here we are a 7 year old wishing to be left alone because he was scared of hurting people because of stupid words she was sure was the outcome of the people's hurtful words.

She quickly ran to his side and Making sure to be gentle picked him up and hugged him. A true hug. A hug full of comfort. A hug a mother would give her child when they were scared or hurt. And this time was different. This time Conan relaxed into the hug. It's not like she didn't notice. Normally, when she hugged him he would tense up. Sh wasn't stupid… no. She just chose to overlook things. But this time… this time was different. He relaxed in her arms like a child would do in his mother's arms and started crying hard. Harder than he had ever before. All the pain that was in his heart spilled out crying like that was the only way to live. After all, that was what an emotional breakdown was. Just because he spoke today doesn't mean that this was over… No… this was far from over. This was just the beginning. The beginning of something terrible. The start of a passage through memory lane of the past.

All would be coming to light now. Stories that were once buried will come out. And we can only wish that the unhealed scars start to heal correctly.
