Chapter 13: the after-math

Rin couldn't keep her brother out of her thoughts.

Preventing herself from tearing up in class was somewhat of a challenge. Her face started to feel heated, and her throat became tight, as if she was choking.
Rin's parents have called her a crybaby in the past, after losing her beloved pet dog Mio to a car. She was so upset that she would cry herself to sleep. Rin couldn't stop blaming herself for the car accident, keeping her brother and parents up; tired and angered. Her parents would yell at her for being soft hearted, so she coached herself to not feel anything. When agony would bubble up in her life, she was forced to ignore it for her parent's sake.

Mrs. Sakine slapped her chalkboard with the ruler in her hand for what felt like the ten millionth time.
"Ok class, you are dismissed! If you have any questions at all come see me after class!" 
She placed her ruler down on the table and sat down to start up for the next class.
Almost everyone rushed out of the room to flee to their lockers, only get to their next class.

Rin on the other hand, found herself walking up to her teacher's desk with liquid starting to well up from her tear duct.
Rin's lip quivered and she lowered her head.
"Mrs. Sakine..."

"Yes, Mrs. Kagamine?"

"I....please..." Rin's voice squeaked. She could feel the tears starting to trickle and run down her skin.
"I... I don't know how to help my brother anymore!"

Rin felt as if her feelings where lashing out on her for keeping them bottled up. She couldn't control them anymore or keep them held back on a leash.

"I want my happy brother Len back!"

Meiko was in shock by how much Rin just now opened up to her.
No matter how much she looked back, Meiko could never even recall Kagamine Rin , her prized student; ever bring up any problems and definitely nothing less then smiles.

"What's with the sudden tears?!"
Meiko got up from her desk to try to confront Rin with a hug.
Rin sniffled and tried to keep her sobs moderately quite by covering her mouth.
" I don't know what to do anymore. 4 years. I've I had to deal with being ignored by the only person who understands me inside out for 4 years! All I've wanted was the best for him and thanks to Hatsune he's been getting less then he deserves and unknowingly sacrificing his future! I can't keep this contained any longer! I..I have to do something or I might ....cry hysterically for the rest of my life!"

"Is there anything that I can do to help, I'd be willing to do something." Mrs. Sakine looked down at her student,Rin seemed to melt into sadness right in front of her.

Rin attempted to stop crying to speak, even though there was a stifling pain behind it.

"I-I need Hatsune gone. I need her out of his life."

Mrs. Sakine's eyes widened and her pupils dilated.

"You want her dead?! I don't thin-"
Rin cut her off quickly.
"No no! I don't want her dead! I just wish she never came to crypton academy. I think she should leave...for my brother's sake."

There had to been more to why she was lashing out emotions. But..What was it? Was it the weather? How her uniform became more snug because of her weight? No. None of that.
It was because she felt like her whole family never cared. Her father, her mother, and now her brother. They never bothered to notice the signs.  All the "I'm fine"s and the "I'm just tired" never reached them. Not even Len; the only person who could read her like a book...at least the only one she cared about.

"Mrs. Sakine...I'm tired of being the last thing on his mind! I..I really thought it would just be me and him, for a lifetime. But...I guess I was wrong. He only cares for Hatsune. No one else."

"Well," Mrs Sakine smiled sympathetically. "I guess that's just how young love works, it consumes their world. I think your brother may be suffering from that, correct?"

Rin nodded. Mrs Sakine was right, Len was suffering. Those long nights for him, never resting, it was damaging him. She could remember his last grades; all Cs and Ds. His physical state wasn't any better, either. Passing out during gym, half awake for choir, it was messing him up. Yet, he didn't even care.

"Mrs. Sakine, please. Help me get rid of Hatsune. To make things go back to the way they where."

Mrs Sakine nodded, causing a smile on Rin's face emerge from the tears.

"thank you Mrs. Sakine...thank you.." Rin muttered as she bowed her head.

There was a slight rustle outside of the classroom. You could see thick brown hair flicked  in the air for just a split second.

I have to tell him, for his sake.

Kay ran down the hall, searching for her blonde and blue eyed friend. In the sea of students, she spotted him due to her quick act and stubbornness. 

"Len! I need to tell you something, it's urgent!"
