A year had passed since Rei was freed from her father. A year of healing alongside her friends. A year of knowing that she was not going to be hurt by someone who was supposed to love her. A year of freedom...

Rei, Honey and Mori had graduated from Ouran Academy and all got into the same college. Yuniti University. Rei was majoring in Law and Buisness so she could better handle her father's company which now belonged to her...When her father was incarcerated, the company in turn was passed down to her as owner. She was eighteen but was having her uncle make decisions on her behalf until her completed college. She was excited to be living on a college campus. It was small, about 50 acres and all of her classes were located close together. It was set back, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thankfully not too far from her home so she could still see her friends Tamaki, Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru and Kyouya.

The 100 acre campus had a lot of grassy spaces and stone pathways leading to the multiple buildings made of a smooth grey stone. The dorms were made of a white stone with small windows. Each room fit two students with a large amount of space. The tuition here was very high but thanks to her family's money and the multiple scholarships Rei had received, she was able to attend.

Rei was sitting in her dorm room, dressed in a knee length black skirt and purple blouse. Rei shared the room with a girl named Rika. Rika had long brown hair and brown eyes. Rika stood a few inches shorter than Rei, but had a similar frame. Rei's side of the room had a twin bed with a purple bedspread that had black flower accents. She had a few of her paintings hanging on the wall.

Rika's side had a pink bedspread with white flower accents. She had a few posters decorating her side. Each side of the room had a desk and small refrigerator.

Rei got up from her desk as she heard a knock on her door. She smiled, picking a key up off of Rika's desk, knowing that Rika had left it behind. Rei opened the door to see Rika smiling.

"Forget something again?" Mei raised an eyebrow with a chuckle.

"Don't judge me." Rika stuck her tongue out at Rika with a laugh.

The two had grown very close since they started school. They were both rather quiet at first but over time they opened up and learned they both had lost their mothers around the same age.

Rika took the key from Rei and rushed away, running late for her class.

Rei smiled as she saw two familiar faces walking down the hallway. Mori and Honey were walking down the hall towards her room. Mori was dressed in black dress pants and a white button up shirt. Honey was wearing a pair of blue shorts and blue t-shirt.

"Hello Mori and Honey." Rei smiled brightly.

"Hi Rei-chan!" Honey rushed over and stopped just in from of Rei as Mori approached at his usual pace. "Ready for dinner?"

Rei nodded. The three met each to go out to have dinner in the dining hall on campus. "Just let me get my-" Rei was cut off by a ringing sound. It was her cell phone which was sitting on her desk. "Sorry, it may be my uncle." Rei was used to her uncle calling to check in on her and get her input about any large scale decisions with the law firm. Despite not having a lot of knowledge about how to run a business, she still had many ideas which had actually made the company flourish even more.

Rei walked over to her desk and saw the caller ID to see it was her lawyer, Hana, calling. She clicked to answer the call, bringing the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" Rei spoke, confused as to what Hana could be calling her for.

"Rei...I-I don't know how to say this but, your father is being released next month...The parole board apparently thought he was a changed man." Hana explained.

"O-Oh...Well that is..." Rei did not know how to process this information.

"He is still not allowed to contact you. A restraining order will remain in effect to keep him away from you and he is not allowed to be within a mile of the law offices or your school." Hana explained trying to make Rei feel even the tiniest bit safer.

"Thank you for calling Hana." Rei's voice had a hint of worry.

"Take care of yourself Rei, the tiniest slip up will put him back in jail and I'm sure it won't take long for that to happen. Don't worry to much, call if you need anything." Hana sounded a little saddened.

"Thank you Hana, you too. Goodbye." Rei hung up the phone and slipped it into her pocket.

"Who was that Rei-chan?" Honey asked with his usual, child-like, curiosity.

Rei put on a fake smile. "It was Hana, she wanted to check in on how school was going." Rei did not want to make the two boys worry by telling them about her father. She kept telling herself that maybe her father had changed and was going to just leave her alone. That he would obey the restraining order and she would have no issues.

"Okay! I'm hungry lets go!" Honey bounced up and down as he began skipping down the hall.

Mori raised an eyebrow, looking at Rei. In his own quiet way he was asking if Rei was alright. After dating for a year the two had grown to be able to tell when something was bother the other, and Mori sensed something happened during the phone call.

Rei gave a small smile "Come on, we can't let Honey get to far ahead." Rei kissed Mori on the cheek before walking ahead, following Honey...
