Hey guys! Did you like the chapter? I hope so! Here ya go!
Sliver of Hope
There's a sliver of hope left,
The day break is near,
There's a sliver of hope left,
Soon to be near.
That sliver of hope,
Is what I hold dear.
I need it to help me,
Stand my own ground.
My world is slowly crashing down.
Chaos surrounds me
Everywhere it burns,
My sliver of hope is that you will return.
So please oh please,
Don't let me down,
My sliver of hope shall come crashing down.
Lavi's Point of view
I had always been the one that was left out but I didn't mind. I was supposed to carry on my families legacy. I was supposed to stay on the side lines.
My grandfather, Bookman from the bookman clan had always told me not to make friends. "To be unseen is what is best." So I stayed out of the way and watched history happen.
All I saw was destruction and dying. Nothing good ever happened to me. not until I met Allen and Lenalee and Kanda. I had met them when I was twelve years old.
I had never been a friendly person, but when Allen smiled at me a little part of me wanted to smile back. "Hey you're the new kid Lavi right? Nice to meet you! I'm Allen Walker."
He smiled at me and stuck his hand out. "I don't shake hands with filthy rats like you." I spat, because that was what I had practiced to say. That was what I had to say.
"That's okay. We don't have to shake hands to be friends." He had said. Usually they turned and ran away crying when I said that, so I wasn't really prepared to say anything else.
"Why won't you leave like all the others?" I had asked him, because I was confused. "Because you look like you need a friend that's why."
And that was how Allen and I had become friends. I had never really asked him about his family, but there was one time that he had mentioned Mana.
It was a stormy day and we had seceded to meet up at my house. He was looking out the window, at the storm and he mumbled something like "This is like the last day I saw Mana."
"What was that Allen?" I had asked, because I wasn't sure I had heard him right. He had turned away from the window and smiled at me. "Oh its nothing. Just saying that the storm was getting pretty bad."
I had brushed it off because I didn't know who Mana was. Then again I didn't realy know Allen. "Save us Lavi... Save us..."
I watched as Allen picked up a knife. "I wonder if this will hurt." He said, turning toward me with a smile. "I'm okay Lavi. Really I am." Then he stabbed himself in the chest with the knife.
"ALLEN! NO!" I yelled as I tried to run and get him. "I'm okay Lavi. I'll just... take a nice long nap." Then he dissolved into the water.
I sat up panting. I was having nightmares again. I wiped my forehead and sighed. This was so not cool. Every time I thought about Allen I got nightmares like this.
"I hope he's okay." I thought to myself as I looked at the time. It was 2:00 in the morning. He should be home by now.
Just in case... I picked up my cellphone and dialed Allen's number. BRINGG... I'm sorry this phone number has been temporarily disconnected. Please try again.
"Crap that is not good. His phone must be dead. I know something's wrong though." I said. I still have a bad feeling about this.
I looked at my cellphone again. I'm gonna definitely die but... I picked it up and dialed Yuu's number, hoping that he would pick up.
"What." I gulped. "Hey Yuu it's Lavi. I was wondering if you knew where Allen was. His phone is dead." I heard a yawn at the other end of the phone.
"Probably because its 2:00 in the morning. How do I know?" I gulped again. "I have a bad feeling about this Yuu. I've tried his phone at least five times.
"Fine. What are we going to do." I jumped up and pulled on a coat. "We have to go find him. Meet at you house in 15 okay?" "Whatever. Bye." Kanda hung up and I sighed. Please let Allen be okay...
Allen's Point of View
So its always fun to crash your car. It's also fun when your phone is dead. I had been heading home from work when there was a sharp turn in front of me.
I swerved and tried to turn but the car slammed into a tree and now I was stuck. I figured that Kanda would be asleep by now because I told him that my work runs late.
Currently I was bleeding, again might I add, and I couldn't feel my left leg. I was pretty sure I hadn't broken any thing and my leg had just fallen asleep.
Then again I'm not a doctor and I could have broken something. I sure hope not. So here's my situation. My car is smashed into a tree, its about 2:00 in the morning, and my phone's dead. Great.
Please someone help me.
Kanda's Point of View
Lavi had called me and asked me to help him find Allen. I was now starting to panic because Allen never carries a dead phone. His phone had never died because he always keeps it charged.
When Lavi got there I told him this, "Allen may have crashed his car or gotten lost coming home from work. Do you know where he works?"
"I have an idea." He said. I nodded. "Okay lets go." We drove down the road, looking for any signs of Allen's car. When we turned a corner, I saw something reflect light.
"Stop the car." I jumped out and ran over to the edge of the road and saw a tree that had a silver car smashed into it. "That's Allen's car." was all I thought before I started running.
"ALLEN! Allen!" I started looking around the car for him. Then in the front seat I found him. He was passed out and he had a large gash running down his arm, but other that that he looked fine.
"Thank goodness we found you Allen." Lavi said as we pulled him out of the car. "Thank you Lavi, for calling me. I can take him home."
Lavi nodded and we drove to my house. "I guess you do have some of a brain," I said to him, nodding gruffly. "Thanks Yuu-chan." I growled at him. "Che. Whatever."
I carried Allen inside and started cleaning his wounds. "Allen. Allen can you hear me?" Allen shifted on the bed and groaned. "Ouch that's going to hurt in the morning." He said holding his head.
I sighed. "I'm gad you're okay." I laid down next to him, gently wrapping my arms around him. "I'm glad that you found me. I promise, no more late nights." He said, snuggling into me.
"Good. Lavi is the one that you should thank. He said he had a bad feeling about it. He called me and we went to go find you." I said, pulling the covers over Allen. He was shivering.
"I wonder how he knew." Allen said before falling asleep. "I wonder how he knew as well." I thought to myself before I fell asleep, thinking about what had happened.
THE NEXT DAY!
Allen's Point of View
I yawned and stretched, scooting closer to the warmth I had sleeping next to me. So yesterday was a huge disaster. At least today should be better. Today is Saturday and I know exactly what I want to do.
Sleep! Well not really because today is the day that Kanda promised me we would go on a date! I'm really excited but I have no idea where we are going. He won't tell me.I didn't really want to wake him up so I quietly slipped away from him and went to the kitchen.
I wanted to make him breakfast and thank him for letting me stay with him."Hmm what to make, what to make." I thought to myself as I looked through the cabinets. "Ah! How about pancakes!" I grabbed the pancake mix and turned on the radio.
I have a secret love for music and I love singing but don't tell anyone. As I was making the pancakes the song "Happy" came on. I couldn't help myself so I started singing."It might seem crazy what I'm bout to say." I flipped a pancake onto the plate and spun around.
"Sunshine she's here, you can take a break. I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space with the air, like I don't care baby by the way."I put the plate of pancakes down and spun again.
"Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I'm happy clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth, Because I'm happy clap along if you know what happiness is to you because I'm happy clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do."
I felt two arms wrap around me and then said person chuckled. "What are you doing?" I set down the plate and turned around, smiling. "I thought I would make you some breakfast to thank you for letting me stay with you." I said, wrapping my arms around him.
He smiled and leaned down and kissed me softly. "Thanks you my little Moyashi." He smirked at me. "I'm not a Moyashi!" I shouted and turned away from him. He smirked again and sat down across from me.
"I'm not so sure about that." I stuck my tongue out at him. "Whatever. Where are we going today?" I asked, referring to the date he had planned. "Mmm can't tell sorry." He said smiling at me.
I pouted at him. "You know I hate surprises." I said picking up our empty dishes and putting them in the sink. "Yup" He said, popping the "P." "Sometimes I hate that BaKanda and his stupid, dumb tricks." I said, muttering to myself.
"I heard that!" He yelled down the hall. "Meant for you to hear!" I yelled back, pulling on some clothes.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER…
"Oi! Moyashi! It's time to go!" Kanda yelled down the hallway. "Okay just a second!" I yelled back, grabbing my wallet. I wasn't really sure where we were going so just in case I grabbed my wallet. I jumped into the car and sighed.
"Won't you pleaseeeee tell me Kanda?" I said, turning and giving him puppy eyes. "Nope." I turned and faced forward, pouting. "Fine. Be that way." I said, turning and looking out the window.
"Okay we're here." He said, parking the car and grabbing a picnic basket front he backseat. By now it was the middle of the day and it was getting darker. He had stopped at a little forest that had a path leading down the cliff side.
"Come on lets go!" He said, motioning me to follow him down the trail. When we got to the bottom of the trail, I stopped and looked around. "Wow this place is awesome!" Kanda just nodded and sat down.
"Aww I think this is really cute!" I said, jumping up and down. I sat down next to him, snuggling into his side. "Just eat already." He said sighing. I smiled at him. "Thanks so much Kanda!"
SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED AND I'M NOT GOING TO ELABORATE BUT ITS NOT THAT BAD REALLY. YEAH. SO AFTER THAT HAPPENED…
"Hey Kanda?" He turned to look at me. "Thanks so much for letting me stay with you but… I'm too much of a burden on you. I think its okay for me to go back." I said smiling. "I don't want him to get hurt because every time I try to leave, Cross always finds me." I thought to myself.
"I don't want you to get hurt Allen." He said seriously. "I'll be fine I promise." I said smiling at him again. "Alright fine but you need to be careful." I nodded and hugged him. "Thanks for tonight Kanda." I said happily.
Smile
Smile don't cry. Pain is just a lie.
Smile, don't give up. Love will be enough.
Smile, its okay. Don't listen to the words they say.
Smile, you'll be okay, the memories will go away.
Smile, and take a kiss, I need your smile, I need your lips.
Smile, and understand, you're beautiful, so keep your hand,
Intertwined with mine and Smile if you can.
