Beep. Beep. Beep...

It never ends. That sound, that beeping sound, it won't end. It's annoying, but at least I know, somehow, that I'm alive. But for how much longer...?

Beep. Beep. Beep...

I didn't want it to go this way. When I had jumped off, I had expected that to be the end. The sickening cracks, the rain turning red, even the lighting that flashed behind me. I had thought it all to be the act that would take me away from all the suffering, as stupid as that sounds. But now, I knew it didn't work. Either I was too evil for Heaven or too damned good for Hell. But here... I didn't want to be alive much longer. Everyone I knew either hated me or abandoned me, leaving me in such a state of pain.

I could only sigh inwardly, lifting my eyelids open; they were heavy, almost burdening. They felt like crushing weights, almost like an anchor made to hold down a ship. It wasn't exactly worth opening my eyes, anyway. The walls around me, they were nothing but white. The windows in the room were covered, and what I managed to see was only the rain pelting down from outside. The lights were dim, and it was so dead silent. I couldn't hear a thing but this stupid machine. And around me, the place smelled completely of sick people. I let my nose wrinkle. I hated hospitals will a passion.

It hurt too badly to move any part of my body, so I just continued to lay motionless. There was this thing on my face, something I so badly wanted to remove, but I realized it was the thing to keep me breathing. Oh well, I'm sure no one would really care if I removed it, right?

Slowly my head turned to the left, an effort in itself, seeing none other than some man in a white coat walk in. He looked at me, smiling, trying to make me feel welcome. How was I to feel welcome in a place who ruined the chance to end the cycle of suffering? I let my head turn to look at him, watching as he looked over the chart in his arms.

"I'm glad to see you're awake. We were afraid you weren't going to recover. Some nasty fall, I can see that. But still," he mumbled, "You're not quite supposed to be awake so soon,"

If glares could kill, he'd be dead on the floor by now. Wasn't that the fucking point? I kept silent, not really sure if I could talk through this machine right now. But I was distracted when the doctor poked in in the side. I hissed, letting a small whimper escape my mouth from the sharp pain. What was he trying to do? Help me or harm me?

"Your ribs are pretty badly broken," He tried to explain to me. Something in my mind told me I didn't care about this crap as I rolled my eyes. "The surgery managed to stop the broken ribs from hurting anything vital, but it won't recover for a while now," Then he gently tabbed my knees with some strange, metal thing, and the same pain rushed up and down my nerves. I winced.

"Your knee caps also shattered from the force of impact of hitting the concrete," He paused for a second, looking back at his chart and writing down something with his pen. "It's a good thing your friend found you, or you wouldn't have been so fortunate,"

I gave him my quizzical stare- a raised eyebrow with a confused look. What exactly was he talking about? My friend? Last time I had checked, everyone had abandoned me. So what 'friend' would want to save me after that? He must have gotten the message, as he opened his mouth to explain.

"The aqua-haired girl... Miku, I think it was. She said she saw from a distance. You were up on the roof, looking over the school until a flash of lighting shocked you. You fell off the roof after a little scare," He let me sit there as I thought about it.

It was a few minutes of silence. I didn't realize he left the room, however, when I finally got the story soaked into my brain. My head found its way back onto the pillow, letting me rest. Miku, that bitch. She must have been watching the thing happen, that much I knew. I closed my eyes, wanting sleep. But before it could rush over me, something, a last thought, passed my mind that would haunt me for a while. After all, if she saw what happened, why not just tell people I tried to commit suicide?

"Why the fuck would she make up something like that?"

Len's POV

I held my head in my hand, trying to rid of the massive headache that took over me. Where was I, exactly? I was sitting on my bed in my own room, trying to make sense of things. First of all, Miku had found out. She had found out about that one night. I remember that scene all too well, to be perfectly honest.

0o0o

It was the day before I left Rin alone to find her own way to school. It was morning, about six fifty, and I was sitting in the classroom. Reading. At least, until the one that used to be the girlfriend walked into the door. Curious after hearing the door open, I looked up, smiling when I realized it was the aqua-haired girl I had fallen in love with- as corny as that might sound. But that smile of mine soon disappeared when I immediately say the hurt written on her face. Worry flooded over me.

"What's wrong?" I asked, swiftly getting out of my seat and walking over to the girl I loved. I let my hand rest of her cheek as my other hand wiped away any tears that found their way down the side of her angelic face. "Did anyone hurt you?"

If they did, they'd get a free ticket to meet the Devil. But instead, she forcefully snapped my hands away from her, as if I was burning her. Something was going on.

"Why did you?" The sense of betrayal was clearly shown on her face. What was happening?

"What did I do?" I asked, honestly, earnestly. Her words, they were confusing me. I felt her hand slap the side of my face as hard as she could as the clear, liquid tears continued to steam down her face at a rapid pace. My hand immediately went to the area of impact, where it stung. She seemed to lose her control now.

"You know what you did!" she cried, looking at me with renewed hatred and anger. "Why the hell did you sleep with someone else? Not to mention her, you own fucking sister!" My eyes grew wide with new realization. But how, how could she have possibly found out about that incident? No one else knew but... but Rin...

"Why did you...?" she asked. I couldn't say anything.

"You bastard," she spoke as she realized I wasn't responding, poison and hurt seeping through her voice as she ran, tears streaming down her face. But what else could I do? I was frozen in shock of what had happened. Slowly, I let my head hang, the bangs covering my face. What was I to do now? I sat back in the desk, letting new tears fall down my face. Why? Why did you betray me, Rin? You were the only other one that knew. Now, I've lost the one I loved...

All because of you.

0o0o

The final bell rang. People got up, grabbing their stuff, but I couldn't quite leave yet. I was letting my mind wonder, hopefully getting some answers to the million questions that roamed through my mind. I didn't blink, knowing that I might start tearing up if I tried to keep my eyes moist. Today, so many people avoided me. Even some of the friends that I used to have. I mean, some stayed by me, including Kaito, but most avoided me like I was the swine flu or something.

But my attention was soon grabbed when I heard footsteps enter the room. From the window I could see the faded reflection of none other than the twin I was forced to be with. I could feel wet, warm salty liquid spill over the rim of my blue eyes as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

"What's wrong?" I knew she was concerned, but then again, I couldn't care less. She shouldn't have told anyone what happened in the first place.

"You," I heard myself grumble automatically. It seemed too much like the truth. I looked into the eyes of her reflection, seeing her shocked face.

"Me...?" she asked, acting confused. I stood up from my seat, knocking her hand away instantly. I let my face look directly into hers as the hate and anger rushed into me at once. My heart started to tear.

"Why did you tell her?" I felt myself scream. My breaths became irregular as I felt myself lose all control.

"I didn't-" You fucking liar. I brushed myself pass her, not daring to look into her eyes anymore. Why should I? She took my love, my dignity, even my friends away from me. She was the only other one that knew, and now everyone did. I let the words escape my lips.

"I fucking hate you,"

0o0o

I looked outside the window, seeing the sun setting for the second time since that day. It was getting dark so soon. I couldn't stop myself from worrying about my younger sister. I just couldn't hate her forever; instead, I could have sworn I loved her, now that I wasn't so blinded by Miku.

But that wasn't the case right now. Rin never showed up at home after our little encounter after school. The first night, I had thought that Rin had been over to someone's house, maybe trying to keep some distance between us. That's what we used to do when we got in a fight. We'd keep some distance and make up. But when she wasn't home the next morning, we- our parents and I- got sickly worried. With combined efforts, we tried calling everyone we could think Rin would run to, but no one had seen the blonde girl since Friday after school, before the rain started.

Nausea built up as my twin didn't show up during the next afternoon. She didn't show up last night either, and that's what gave me the second headache. I couldn't understand why, but somehow, I felt like something bad was going to happen. Or maybe something bad already happened. And, to be honest, it somehow made me feel so guilty.

I let myself rest, sliding into bed and rested my head on the cold pillow, hoping the phantom feeling would just disappear soon. My hand reached for the lamp as I turned it off, letting darkness envelop the room.

"Where ever you are," I silently whispered, "Please be safe."

0o0o

Beep! Bee-

My hand rested on the snooze button of the alarm clock as my body found its way upward into a sitting position. I withdrew my hand, letting it fall into my lap. Sleep refused to come to me last night as I tossed and turned in bed. Guilt and worry just continued to hound me over and over again, forcing me to keep my eyes open. A sigh escaped my lips. I needed to find Rin soon, before I die of anxiety.

I let my body up from under the covers, heading to the dresser to change out of the orange pajamas I often wear to bed. My mind was on automatic as I thought of more important matters. How the hell was I going to find my sister? No one knew where she could possibly be. Sure, we could have called the police, but they didn't want to seem to help much (which got me. Isn't that their job?).

My eyes looked outside the window that I had been pondering at last night. The sky of this Monday morning was cloudy, cold, with the scent of rain. It would be hard to find her in this weather, that's for sure. I shook my head; now was not the time for such thoughts. Swiftly I put on my raincoat, grabbing an umbrella just in case. I kept my phone handy in the pocket of my jeans as I headed downstairs. It was quiet.

Mother and father were probably at work by now. Bless them- even when my sister disappeared for a couple days, they managed to keep working for the rest of the family. My face grew serious. I had to find her, no matter what. Grabbing the spare key, I walked outside, making sure the door was locked behind me. The last thing we needed was a thief wrecking the house.

The umbrella opened, covering me from any of the light sprinklings that fell from the sky above. There was still one person who'd help me, I'm sure of that. Set on my decision, I started walking down the sidewalk.

The rain that had started off so quietly started to increase into a downpour by the time I had gotten to the bus stop. It was unusually empty today, seeing how the streets were usually full of crowds and people trying to get to their next stop. I couldn't understand why, but something was bothering me. As if something was going to happen today. Whether or not I knew what was going to happen, however, I didn't have a clue. I didn't even know if I liked this feeling or not.

My thoughts were interrupted the the introduction of the bus. I sighed, walking onto the vehicle that would lead me to school.

0o0o

"Oh, come on man," Kaito, one of my only still-loyal and understanding friends, cheered in. The blue haired man and I sat on the rooftop as we usually do when there's nothing interesting to do during lunch, watching the other students and mostly the sky and the clouds. Let's face it. Without Mikuo's stupid nature or small pranks on the fellow students and senseis, there was nothing really funny to laugh at, or anything really happening. So, we just sat here.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, looking at the friend of mine who held the ice cream in his hands. It was shocking, seeing how skinny he was compared to how much ice cream he ate daily.

"I donno," he admitted, with mouth full of of the frozen treat. "But you guys can't just stay separated like this. Sure, one little rumor spreads around. But that doesn't mean you can hate each other forever," He swallowed the mouthful, looking right at me. I knew he was talking about Miku. Normally, this goof couldn't be so serious, but now, it was kind of hard not to listen to him. I sighed.

"It's not that easy, either,"

"Don't you want to make up with her?" he asked. That question burned in my mind.

"Of course I do, but-"

"But what?" He dared.

"It's not that easy," I said with some hesitation. The blue haired man was about to open his mouth, until the sound of footsteps made their way behind me. I looked up, meeting a smirk-smile hybrid in return.

"Well, well, well. I thought I'd see you both up here," spoke the blonde haired graduate, sitting down between us. He leaned back, resting his hands behind his head and watched the sky with those green eyes of his. To be honest, he looked a bit on the gay side, as Rin would say it. I sighed.

Rin, where the hell are you?

"What are you doing here, Leon?" The blue haired friend of mine asked the other blonde, snapping me out of my thoughts. He looked at the guy with semi-wide eyes.

"What, I can't visit my friends on occasion?" He asked, acting hurt. I could only roll my eyes- a habit I had picked up from Rin's own ignorance. I took the opportunity to join in the conversation.

"I don't even think you're allowed to be here," I turned to face him as he layed down, now looking at me. "At least not legally,"

He smirked, then continued to watch the sky. We joined him, but it started getting to quiet. It made me think, and when I started to think, I became emotional. Rin kept entering my mind, worrying me like there was no tomorrow. Not to mention the guilt. And then there was Miku who was bothering my mind. Part of me wanted her back, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy...

My head snapped around, looking at the two who were whispering to one another. They had that smile- the one Rin would wear when she planned something evil. I didn't know whether to be angry or scared. I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you two planning?" I was only answered with a nod between them.

They grabbed me by the arms, dragging me down the stairs and off of the roof. I squirmed, trying to get free, but the two older seniors wouldn't let me go. Yes, this reminded me way too much of my twin sister. But while part of me started to worry about her, another part of me, a bigger part of me, thought-

"Where the heck are you two taking me?" I growled, giving them my best imitation of Rin's glare. They didn't even flinch. I didn't receive much of an answer, much like the time before. Instead, I got a stupid grin from Leon and a thumbs up from Kaito. So, looking much like a shouta rape victim as many of the student body called it, I was dragged across campus.

So much for damned loyal friends.

I looked up, seeing the two older seniors open a door, before throwing me inside. Leon and Kaito, they stood with... Meiko, Prima, and Big Al? I glared at them, only seeing Meiko hold up a key, smirking. She gave us a small wave before the door closed.

"It's for your own good, kiddos," She said. Dang that red girl. She always treated everyone else like children.

I walked up to the now-closed door, trying the door knob. I tried to turn it left and right, but sadly, it didn't budge. I sighed, wondering what the fuck was going on. With no luck, I leaned against the wall, looking around and taking in my surroundings.

The room was pretty small compared to most classrooms, maybe holding ten students at best. Desks remained in straight rows, and the desk up front was neatly organized, as if this room was just cleaned. And looking around, I saw something more striking than anything. Or, more accurately, heard.

"Darn you Prima," I heard the familiar, high pitched voice growl from under her breath. Turning around, I saw the aqua-haired girl sitting down on the desk table, huffing and blowing and stay hairs that landed on her forehead and in front of her eyes. I didn't look away when she finally noticed me, only a minute or so later. There was a soft moment of silence.

"What are you doing here?" We both spoke at once. Not really a voice full of hate, but more of curiosity.

"Leon and Kaito kidnapped me, dragged me across campus, and threw me into this room," I spoke, deciding to answer first while rolling my eyes. I let my arms cross over my chest while I listened to her softly- and somewhat cutely-chuckle.

"Meiko was talking to me about going to the mall, and next thing I know, Prima grabbed me by the arms and just dragged me away,"

"Some friends we have," The sarcasm escaped my lips. We looked each other in the eyes, seeing a small glimpse of each other's thoughts before looking away. The air grew too silent, too awkward to really stand. I leaned against the wall, letting my index finger rub against my thumb- a habit I kind of developed. One I really need to get rid of. My eyes took a quick glance to the other person in the room, who was playing with one of her pigtails nervously.

"It's been pretty rainy lately, huh?" Wow, Len. That was the best you could do? That was dumb.

"Uh-huh," I heard her mumble her agreement. "It's really depressing,"

I looked up at the wall with my arms now crossed across my chest. My mind traveled. "It's not that bad. I remember my sis and I always playing in the rain. It was actually quite fun," I looked at her, smiling and melting the wall that stood between the both of us. "At least, until I got the cold," I heard Miku give her adorable giggle, a soft laugh.

"You and Rin were pretty close, huh?" she asked, her expression softened but still serious.

"Yeah, we were," I let my arms hang to my sides again, and headed towards the aqua-haired girl. I let my hand lightly touch that hand of hers that was resting on the desk she was sitting on. I could feel my face grow serious as I looked deep into her eyes. The atmosphere grew quiet. "I promise, what happened between the two of us was an accident. It was caused by the drinking contest everyone forced us to compete in, remember?"

Her face suddenly turned a soft shade of red as she looked away. I grew a bit puzzled, until I heard that certain laugh that caused me to smirk. She was embarrassed, wasn't she?

"Heh, yeah. I guess we shouldn't have done that," She looked back up, looking into my eyes. But I gave her every bit of truth I could in this small staring contest.

"I promise it was never supposed to happen," I spoke again, spilling out my emotions into my words, hoping to reassure her. I let my hand move from hers to the side of her delicate, angelic face. "I want us to be together again," My lips hung only a few inches from her, allowing enough room to escape if she truly wanted to.

"Please," the whisper escaped my mouth. I could feel her breath as she leaned forward, ready for a kiss. Our lips brushed together softly, lightly, but didn't quite connect. But that was about to change as I was about to close the distance between us.

There was a racket from behind the door. We turned our head, hearing the sound of slamming on the wall and eventually a battering ram, making the door burst open. Inside walked two figures, both in the uniform of cops. One had a nice form- dark, almost black eyes with beautiful, reflecting brown eyes. It was almost captivating.

Yet on the other hand was a girl with almost an equally nice form, with bright, blonde locks. Her deep cerulean eyes were so jolly. But one thing ruined her beautiful nature... the fake mustache she wore above her lips. If it wasn't for the guns each of the police woman held in their pockets, and the official badges the first girl held out, I could have never taken it seriously.

"My name's Rikkio," spoke the dark haired girl, putting away the badge. She walked closer to the two of us, with her mustachio partner following behind. "And this would be my partner, Rinno," Her glare hardened as she watched us, carefully.

"LAS VEGAS POLICE: We have come to ask questions," The blonde spoke, all seriousness alive in with a fire in her eyes burning. She was kidding, right?

"But, this is Japan," Miku's voice piped in, curious about what all this was about.

"I don't care what F'in place this is, I like to say that!" the blonde cop pouted and huffed, crossing her arms in such a childish manner.
Rikkio coughed, getting back to the subject on hand. "Yes, well. We've been investigating the attempted suicide of a young girl that goes to this school,"

My eye grew wide. An attempted suicide? "W-who was the girl?" I asked, afraid of the answer I was about to get. I should have never dared to ask. The blonde face grew dark and dramatic as she spoke, giving the smallest hint of sadness.

"Kagamine Rin," Was her words. I could feel my eyes water as I tried to take in all the information that came into my mind at once. My sister... why did she try to commit such an act in the first place? What would have sent her over the edge like that? But more importantly, was she alive? Or... or did the worst already happen? I couldn't fathom. I turned my head to the aqua-haired girl, who looked away, avoiding anyone's eyes.

I knew that look.

I turned back to the police. But my eyes could only turn back to see none other than the aqua-haired girl behind me. I could feel the tears run down my face in such a flood as Miku looked so innocently guilty. I hated how she tried to look so angelic at this moment. I snapped.

'What did you do?' I growled. I thought I had loved her, but after this happened with my sister... I started to lose my self control.

"I-I didn't know!" Liar.

"You kept this from me for two whole days! How the hell can I ever believe you? You bitch," I growled. To think I was about to make up with her, and she kept this thing secret from me... I could see the tears weld in her eyes as she told her story, not that I gave a shit about it anymore.

"I- I saw her after school on the gym building, when I was with my brother. It started raining, hailing even. I couldn't see her eyes, but I saw how hesitant she was. I screamed at her, trying to tell her not to jump, but I don't think she could hear me," She started sobbing right now. "When she jumped, I told Mikuo to call for help. I told the medics that she fell off the building after being scared by a strike of lightning when they arrived,"

I didn't want to believe she could be so nice. I looked right into her eyes, nothing but hate roaming through me. "Why didn't you tell me?" my voice was so soft, so shaky, I could feel it. My arms clenched tightly together. She continued to look away, with no reply. Either she wouldn't tell me, or she had no idea herself.

I saw Rikkio put a hand on Miku's shoulder, before giving her a long, analyzing look. "Honey, you should have just told the truth. It would have made things less messy that way," She smiled, giving the girl a small tissue.

But for me, I had enough. With hatred still running through me, I forced myself out the broken door, and off of the school grounds. Miku, you had pushed things too far. I don't care if you tried to be the hero here. You kept what was truly most important to me away.

0o0o

The hospital, it always had set me on edge. There was the smell of sick people that hung in the air, and the way it was always so dead silent, it just kept me on guard. The boring white walls, the white people in white coats, it was all too unsettling.

My legs moved forward in a rush. Rin, she was the only thing in my mind. I needed to know if she was okay. I needed to know if she was alive, or if she was on her last breath. The thought of her dying, in pain, it sent me going faster. I could feel myself go into a fast jog, before bursting into full speed. I ran past numbers, people, everyone. She needed to be alive. She couldn't be dead.

I wouldn't allow it.

My arms extended, my hands pushing against white walls, sending me left and right without faltering my pace. The hallways, they all looked the same, but that wasn't going to slow me down now. Not when the chance of losing my Rin was so high.

And when I did find it, I could feel my chest crush with such pain. The room was dim, with few of the lights on. Slowly my feet walked over, seeing what I didn't want to see. She was covered in bandages. Her face, her chest, her knees, everything was covered. One of her legs was bent slightly in the wrong direction, and her skin was so pale. Her breath was so shallow and silent. Only the beeping from the machine assured me she was alive.

I rested my forehead against hers, letting my tears fall freely now.

"I'm so sorry. Please, Rin. Forgive me," I whispered softly. "Please forgive your stupid brother,"
