Abandoned

Chapter 19: Memories.

Mrs. Kagamine's POV:

When my children asked if it was alright to throw a surprise party for little Miku, I was overjoyed. I quickly agreed and wanted to help. I could finally do something for Mikura's child.

I was a little surprised to discover that it was just going to be the three of them, and even more so to find out that the reason why was because Len and Rin were her only friends.

But it was all perfect. She enjoyed the party so much. When I lit the candles and we sang happy birthday I had a little image of a birthday party they had had back in Japan. I remembered Miku would close her eyes and make a wish, and then lean in extremely close to the cake, so close that I was always afraid her hair would catch fire. Then she would blow out the candles and smile.

I almost cried when I saw her do just that this afternoon. I took a picture. I also took a picture of them all hugging after she opened her presents. They were all so adorable! (but I accidentally turned the sound on and they found out)

I hope Takashi isn't angry that we had her over almost all day. I haven't heard from him about it but I don't even know if he still has my number.

Len came up to me. "Hey mom can I use your phone? Mine is dead and I wanted to call Miku and set something up for this project we are doing at school."

"I don't see why you didn't talk to her about it earlier but I suppose you can." I handed him my phone and he ran upstairs. "Don't talk too long!!!" I yelled after him.

Rin came into the room. "Momma do you think she liked the party?"

"Oh yes. I think she enjoyed it very much!" I answered.

"Good, I really want her to like me." She whispered. "but I think she likes Len more than me." 

"She just is around Len more often, and she did say she wanted to be your friend remember?"

Rin smiled and went into the living room.

I wondered what the Hatsune's were doing right then.

Len's POV:

I sat at my desk and typed in my mom's password (which is super easy and she should really change) I was about to tap on the thing that says "call" but then a notification popped up and I tapped on IT instead.

It brought me into Facebook, where mom keeps most of her photos. I was about to click the home button when the photos loaded.

WAS THAT MIKU!?

The picture was of me, Miku, and Rin. Miku was sitting in the middle while Rin and I were on either side.

I swiped to the next picture and someone had placed a cake in front of Miku. Then there was a video. I tapped play.

"Okay ready everyone? Rin stop that." My mom said. (Rin had been about to touch the candle)

"Okay! Happy birthday to you!" Started my mom. Rin and I and a few other voices (Probably my dad and Miku's family) joined in. The song ended and Miku closed her eyes. She put her hands together just like she did today. Then she opened her eyes and said: "Len! Help me with the candles!"

She leaned in really close to the cake and so did I and we blew out the candles. Miku sat back down with a big smile on her face.

I remained close to the cake and looked up at the camera. "Cake time!" I yelled.

The video ended.

My brain couldn't or wouldn't process. All I could think was: I knew Miku? Miku and I were friends? 

As automatically as a robot, I went into my moms photos and scrolled back until I was around the time we had lived in Japan.

Sure enough there were TONS of pictures of Me and Miku! As I scrolled through all the pictures, I started to kind of remember what was going on in each of them. 

Then I came to the first picture that had Miku and I in it. it was a picture where we were standing in front of a big building. We had on a shirt that said something about some sort of camp.

I stared at it for a minute, and then memories started flooding in. I remembered meeting Miku, I remembered the bullies. I remembered the kid that told Miku no one would love her. I remembered punching that kid. I remembered...Miku crying...and asking me to...kiss her before she dies.

And then I left. We moved to America and I hadn't seen her again.

How did she get here? How could I have forgotten Miku!? How did we both forget?

Why didn't my mom ever tell me? Maybe she thought we knew?

"Len you've had my phone for an hour!" My mom announced swinging my door open.

I jumped up and dropped the phone.

My mom looked at the screen and then she looked back at me with a sad smile on her face.

"Do you remember?" She asked me.

"I didn't...but I do now..." I replied.

She nodded.

"How could I have forgotten!?" I wondered.

"I don't know, it may have happened when you got that concussion."

"I got a concussion?" I did NOT remember that.

My mom smiled. "You fell out of a tree, and then you couldn't remember who any of us were. I thought maybe everything was okay after you got better, but Miku was never around so I guess you never got the chance to remember her."

"Does Rin remember?" I asked.

"No, Rin always had trouble remembering things when she was little if they didn't happen too often."

I couldn't believe it. My best friend, was also the first friend I had ever had in my life.
