10:12.

That's what my Hello Kitty digital clock read when I took one peek at it. It turned out that I had cried so much I fell asleep way too early at night.

I think I've been asleep for about 12 hours now. But my head felt too heavy to let my body navigate anywhere. I still felt tired, but my body wasn't even shutting down again.

Too much sleep is bad for your health. So is too little sleep. Either I just continue lying in my bed, or I just get up and wonder what I'm going to do without anybody. Those words that Len had yelled to me were still echoing in my brain.

"I don't wanna talk to you ever again!"

"So long you little wuss!"

As if Len was still in the house repeating the same thing over and over. Oh, and I was famished. I hadn't eaten anything since last night. I had forgotten to eat dinner. And I think I had slept past breakfast. I was too icky to make myself breakfast. So I just had one option to pick.

Call Luka on the phone.

I dialed in Luka's number. A gentle beeping sound emitted through the phone. Not long later, her deep voice answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi Luka. It's me, Rin. I want to come to your house because I forgot to eat for a long time. Perhaps you can make me brunch?"

"Anything for a friend. Please be there, and you can take all the time you need."

"Thanks Luka, you're the best." I hung up and got out of bed. My head hurt so bad, I could feel it pounding. I couldn't just be lazy and just sit at home starving myself. I had to get to Luka's.

I went towards the front door, put on my shoes, and headed out. Luka's house wasn't that far from me. I could easily walk there. Len and I had always tasted her cooking, and it tastes like heaven. I could tell she was very experienced in cooking, and I had never forgotten some of her cooking tips. I still felt horrible once I reached Luka's house, but I rang the doorbell. She opened it almost immediately.

"Hi, Rin." she said with a smile.

"Hi Luka..." I replied with a yawn.

"Gee, what happened? Why do you look like you didn't get enough sleep?" Luka wondered.

My eyes were too obscured to get a good shot at Luka's face. And I didn't know how to answer her.

"Come on in, you can tell me later." she said, leading me into her house.

Her house was so neat and tidy. Maybe she always cleans every now and then, since she could be a neat freak. It looked just as neat as me and Len's house for when we cleaned it. I sensed the dining table, with a plate of food on it. I went towards it, and there I saw fried eggs, turkey bacon, and a glass of milk. It was very nice of Luka to make my brunch for me. I sat down and ate. It looked like a big one, since she could tell I was really hungry. I was eating slowly, since I just wanted to take my time.

"Hope you enjoy it." said Luka.

I continued to eat the food. It made me think back the times Len and I taught each other how to cook. Len would try to flip pancakes, but would end up throwing them on the ground. It would make me laugh, and when I tried to cook them, Len would describe them to be the most delicious Rin-made foods ever. And there were other times when we tried to bake a cake for Miku's birthday. Len squeezed the frosting too much, that some of it ended up on my nose. And then he licked it off for me! It was very cute. In a matter of three or four minutes, I ate the entire dish. Even the crumbs. Luka came and examined the plate.

"Wow, Rin, you must have been very hungry." she said. "Why don't you come with me for a while?"

"Okay..." I got out of the seat and followed Luka to the living room.

"Rin, I kind of suspect something is happening with you. It seems as though you're trying to hide something from me. Can you please tell me?"

I was at a loss of words. I didn't think Luka was going to be suspicious of me. Probably because of the dark circles under my eyes and my eyes almost shut. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I had to think fast. I didn't want this to become Luka's problem that I was dealing with this problem of Len leaving me like this.

"I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong, Rin. Please tell me." she stated.

"Fine..." I mumbled, "Me and Len had a big fight yesterday because I accidentally dropped something when I was vacuuming for him. He said he doesn't want to talk to me again. And he thinks that he'd have me better off not with him anymore." My voice broke as I spoke.

"Oh Rin... you know, I don't think Len meant what he said to you." Luka explained. "You see, when we are angry, our minds don't work that properly and we end up saying stuff that we don't mean. Eventually you will realize that what you did wasn't actually intended for the real you to do, and you can end up regretting it."

Luka's advice makes me feel stupid sometimes. I didn't know what Luka just told me had to be something I had to consider.

"Does this mean... Len won't be away from me forever?"

"Certainly not. I know how close you've two been, and I have no doubt that he will come back to you. He will forget about the argument you and him had, and he will come back. So don't worry, there is always a solution."

"Thank you Luka, you are very good at teaching things. You definitely are a very wise woman."

"Anytime, Rin. Just don't lose hope that Len will be back, and just know that pretty much any angry situation can be turned around."

"I will, I promise."

"Perfect. Right now, I have to go to a meeting. I'm glad I got to stick around to cook for you, but it seems like I have to go now. Take care, and stay safe." she said as she got up to put on her shoes.

"Alright Luka. Bye." I replied as I watched her head out the door.

I decided to go out too. I was about to go home, until all of a sudden, something caught my eye.

"Hahahaha! Len, you are so cute!" a girl that looked like me said.

"Thank you so much, Neru. You are a really cool girl as well." said Len.

"I believe that we can be brand new siblings together, right?" Neru squealed.

"Yes!" Len yelled, raising his hands.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
