It Starts, It Ends

Chapter 11

First of all, I'm REALLY sorry about how long this took. In addition to school, a bunch of stuff kinda fell apart all at once, so even when I had time to write, I didn't really feel like doing much. Things seem to be fixed for now, though, so yay! Writing!

With that, this is actually the last chapter. Thanks for sticking with this story!

~It ends, it starts,

Can they fix my heart?

A pin, a thread,

Sew it together again.~

It's been a week since… well, you know. This is the first time I've gone to the cram school since then. Yukio and I are standing outside the classroom door. I take a deep breath.

I can do this…

A hope, a vow,

They can show me how,

To live, to breathe,

And finally be happy.~

I push open the door. Cautiously, I look up slightly. My eyes widen immediately. Rather than the glares they normally look at me with, there's… something else…

Remorse…? No, that can't be right…

I quickly sit in my seat and stare at the board.

Throughout class, I pretend to pay attention. However, they all keep sending me these weird glances. At one point, Shiemi reached over and squeezed my hand.

What the hell is going on…?

A smile, a pat,

I don't want to go back,

To death, to hate,

Suicide won't be my fate.~

As soon as class ended, everyone stood up. My heart sped up as they surrounded my desk. I clenched my eyes shut. Just when it felt like my heart was going to explode, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I hesitantly opened my eyes to see that Suguro's hand was on my shoulder. Suddenly, everyone else added their hand as well. I looked into their eyes.

"Rin…"

~I'll try, I will,

I won't be killed,

By words, by fear,

I'll stay right here!~

I looked at my arms. They were coated in a familiar red liquid.

Why…? Things were getting better recently…

I curled in on myself and started to sob. I kept crying until I felt arms wrap around me.

"It's okay, Nii-san…," Yukio comforted.

I continued to cry until I ran out of tears.

"You'll be okay, Nii-san. Everything's going to be alright," Yukio told me.

Slowly I nodded.

~It's a new beginning.~

So? How'd you all like it?

Anyway, if you guys want, I might make a sequel to this story. Of course, it would be dependent on school and other crap, but if you guys want me to keep going, I will. (I kind of hate ending a story on the number eleven… Just seems like a weird number to end on).

Well, thank you so much for reading this! Also, to those of you that reviewed, many of your comments literally made my day. You're all awesome!

Squirrel out!
