How He Changed My Life

Chapter 13
Is This Goodbye?

Len POV:

"R-Rin you're kidding right?"

I really hoped that she was kidding with me.. But who would joke about something so serious?

"No Len, I'm not joking.."

At those words, I was speechless throughout the whole day, and so was Rin. We both didn't talk the whole day and we sort of gave glances at each other throughout the whole day in school particularly. She gave me a look with pain in her eyes. Just when I thought that I made her more happier and gave her a more positive aspect of life, she has to go through more bull crap. As the final bell rang I decided to go and confront her and ask her, when and where she is planning on moving. I searched around for her outside the school and found her in a matter of minutes despite the fact that there were a huge mob of people due to her white bow.

"Rin.."

She turned around rather swiftly and didn't even try to give eye contact. "Y-Yes?"

"When and where are you moving?" I asked rather sternly.

"I-I don't know where, but I know we are moving t-t-tomorrow morning.."

My eyes went blank. I couldn't bear to hear more and slowly turned around.. Avoiding to look at her.

"O-Oh I s-see.. w-well that means that we aren't going to see each other right?" I said disappointed.

"L-Len what are you trying to say? I'm not moving because I don't like you! My mom she—"

"I gotta go.. Bye Rin.." I ran all my might away from her. If I was to live my life without Rin, then I need to forget about her and stop loving her..

Goodbye Rin.. I hope you have a good and better life..

Rin POV:

I can't believe it.. He's gone.. I won't ever see him again.. Why does my life always turn out this morbid? What have a ever done to deserve this? Was I really that bad of a person? I slowly walked home after what had just happened.. Len's words kept ringing in my head. Does this mean he hates me now? I forced myself not to cry and it worked for the meantime. As I approached my home, I saw my mother continuing to pack her belongings. I don't see why it takes so long, she only has like a couple things in this whole house. What also caught my eye was that she was with her new boyfriend/fiancé or whatever you want to call them.

I simply glared at him and I would assume that he glared back. My mom must have saw that I was glaring and followed me to my room. I held on to the necklace that Len gave me and kept thinking about our "some-what" fight that we had. Well, scratch that, it was more of a disagreement.

I sensed my mother looking at me, sitting on my bed, holding the necklace tightly. It was the real gift I had ever gotten in my life. Nobody celebrated my birthday and nobody ever got me anything. And to top that, this has got to be really expensive. I sighed and that was when my mother had enough and slammed the door. I looked up in shock at what she was doing. She was never like this. She was always so calm and whenever she smiled she gently did so. Now I saw another recreation of my father. I loved my mother in a mother-daughter sort of way, like I loved her for I guess, giving birth to me but that was about it. She never really did anything for me, she was just there watching or something. I don't know, it's kind of hard to explain.

She had an indescribable anger in her eyes and almost marched up to me.

"Kagamine Rin, pack your stuff this instant!" Oh boy, she used my full name.. She's angry as hell. What'd I do? I just glared at your, oh I don't know, "Boyfriend/Fiancé that you never told me about!" and to top that off you're saying that we should move after I realize that I was content to the place I was already living in.

I simply turned my back and realized that I shouldn't leave in the first place. I should have realized it sooner. I said, "No, I refuse to leave."

"Excuse Me?" she said, probably more pissed than before.

"I said I'm no—" I was cut off because she slapped me in the face.

I gave her a shocked, what-the-hell look and she ignored it. I had a façade image of my mother the whole time. She must have always wanted to beat me. Everyone did.. She just acted sweet and nice near me for sympathy.

"Kagamine Rin, I am highly disappointed in you.. After all that I have done for you!"

Now I was pretty much furious. It was my turn to talk now.

"After all that you've done for me? What have you ever done for me except for giving birth? I was always worried about you mom! I was always feeling horrible about what fath—that guy that you married before did to you and now you have the nerve to tell me that you have actually done something for me in my life? When I needed someone to talk to the most, you were never home! You were probably instead of "working" like you say you are, you were probably smooching with your new boy—" I was slapped again.

"Since when was my daughter such an annoying bitch!" My eyes widened at her words. Although what I said was true, I would have never guessed that through her deceitful image she always wanted to call me a bitch.

"You can leave with your new husband tomorrow, because I decided I'm not leaving! I don't give a fuck about what you are going to do anymore and you can just leave and forget that I was even your daughter! You know what! Just forget I even exist, because I'll do the same.."

"Fine.. We are complete strangers from now on.." she said coldly as she left my room with a slam.

I threw myself on the bed and cried. The tears I was bottling in myself exploded and I was left in my room crying my eyes out and eventually to sleep for the next day. I had a dream that Len was happier since I was out of his life.. As I was sleeping more tears came out of my eyes..

I'm really sorry Len.. For everything.. I'll leave you alone from now on.. I won't cause you trouble again..

The Next Day..

I woke up and slowly left my room, washed my tear-stricken face and looked inside my mother's room and the whole, clear house. I said to myself, "She really did leave…"

I noticed that someone had packed all my belongings in a suitcase and there was a note on it. "I know you said that we're strangers now and we still are, but I just wanted to let you know. I sold this house. Goodbye stranger, we'll never meet again." My eyes widened and I hurriedly ran out to glance at a couple looking at my house. My heart felt like it stopped and I grasped it.

"I have nowhere to go.."

Is this goodbye to not only Len and that stranger of a mom, but to the world itself? I wonder if I can actually live on in this cold, hearted world..
