"Yes! You have to promise me you'll run...promise me..you'll forget.."he cries. "NO!"i scream, letting go of his hand's. He looks at me, hurt. "please..and..i promise if you do...i'll go find you one day...and save you, like a princess..like in the stories..and Kaoru will come..we'll be together..just promise.."he beg's. I stare at him, the rain pouring down on us. "I promise.."i reply, my tears falling. He smiles sadly. "Go, run..run now..and forget..you have to forget...and try not to cry.." he chokes. I nod, stepping away. "Tell..tell kaoru.. i'll miss him.."I say beginning to run. I stop at the end of the bridge. Don't look back, don't look back at what your leaving behind...I turned around...that was my biggest mistake...
The Sad, Unevitable pain—haruhi's pov
- I opened my eyes quickly. My heart beat fast. My breathes came hard. I sat up on my lumpy bed. I looked around my dark room, the only light being a thin, strip of moonlight that escaped through the window. It seemed to turn everything into silver dust. I felt my muscles relax. I pulled my soft, cottony covers up to my chin, and gripped the edges with tight fists. I had dreamed of it again. Those haunting memories I tried so hard to forget. I sighed. Every night was the same thing. I touched my barefeet to the cold, hard floor. I slowly walked to the living room. I found my dad sleeping on our old beat up couch. He had stayed up late again. I got a white blanket from a closet, and covered him with it. I looked over at the small table in front of the couch. Dozens of papers were scattered everywhere. They were all letter's. I picked one up. My heart stopped. I read the cursive, ink on the creamy white paper, my finger's gripping the edge's. My eye's coming close to tear's with every word. I threw the letter down on the table, sending other letter's flying. The letter's flew around me for a second. Enough time for me to see the betrayal on the letter's. I let the letter's fall to the ground. I sat on the floor and held my knee's to my face. Why...I just dont understand why he betrayed me...How could he?.. Heat surged through my vein's. I stood up and walked to the couch. I shook my dad's sleeping form fiercely. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! DAMMIT!" I yelled. He woke up abruptly. "Haruhi..what's wrong?" He asked, half awake. I grabbed a fistful of letter's from the table and threw them at him. "WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?" I shouted. He stared at me. "Please Haruhi...you have to listen...Thing's are not the way they used to be..." He told me standing up, pleading. "How could you do this to me?.." I whispered walking away from him. "Noo...Haruhi..please understand...that I'm doing this for your own good..." He say's tear's in his eye's. "Noo dad you listen to me, do you have any Idea how much pain I've had to face, worse of all seeing the people I love suffer? Your only adding on to the pain!" I cry. He grab's my shoulder's, "I know! And I am soo sorry...but you have to hold on," he tell's me. "I thought you said we had to stick together...that you'd never leave me alone...you lied...ever since mom died..you.." I stumbled over my word's. "Dont bring your mother into this!" he yelled. I pushed him away from me,"I'LL BRING HER INTO THIS IF I WANT TO!" I screamed, tear's running down my face.
"You know you never even bothered to ask me how I felt? You just assumed everything was fine! We'll just so you know everything was wrong! And I needed you! ...but...you were never there.." I whisper, pulling at my hair, wanting to rip it off. Instead I run to the table and begin ripping up all the letter's. "Haruhi stop!" My dad yelled grabbing me by my waist. My dad hold's me. "I dont want to go..." I whisper. I hated my dad for this. I hated him for making me remember. I hated him for not being there..for causing this hate. I pulled away from him, and dryed my tear's. I turned and looked at my dad with red eye's. "You know I hate you right? Because no matter what, you will never be able to change what happened, I really, truly hate you..." I told him in a voice I couldn't recognize. I wiped my cheek with my hand and turned away before I could see his pain. I ran to my room, and shut the door hard. My breathing was ragged. I held my chest, to keep my heart from bursting. I sat down on my bed slowly, staring at the white door. I couldn't be in here any longer for some reason. I couldn't breathe here. I got into my lumpy bed and tried to go to sleep. -
HIKARU'S POV: I fixed my tie, as I looked into my bathroom mirror. Kaoru brushed his teeth fiercely, with his lime green tooth brush. I stood beside him, slumping, my eye's had dark circle's under them. " Hikaru, you look like you died and came back to life reincarnated as our history teacher," Kaoru muttered, combing his hair. I rolled my sore eye's, and brushed my teeth with my blue tooth brush. "But seriously, what was that last night?" Kaoru asked, poking my shoulder. I sighed. Last night I had a nightmare. About Haruhi. "I had a dream I stabbed Haruhi to death," I told Kaoru, looking into the mirror at my tired reflection. "Whoa...that's really messed up. Why did you stab her in the dream?" Kaoru asked me buttoning up his shirt. "I don't know...," I told him. I really didn't. The dream made no sense. Haruhi and I were on a bridge overlooking a pond, for some reason It was familiar. I was dressed in a white tux, and she was dressed in a pure white dress. We were both really happy in the dream. The sun giving off a pretty glow. Then she kissed me, a light, sweet, innocent kiss. I then held her in my arm's, but in the dream I didn't wan't her to get near me. Then I took out the knife...I shook my head at the memory. "We should go down to breakfast," Kaoru say's in my ear. I follow Kaoru to the dining room and take my place next to him.
"Hikaru, Kaoru good morning, I suspect you both slept well," Our mom told us, looking up at me from her cup of coffee. "Goodmorning mother," Kaoru and I reply In perfect unison. "Kaoru, you have bag's under your eye's. why?" my mom growled reffering to me. I rolled my eye's, and bit into my pancake. "I'm Hikaru," I tell her in a singsong voice. "And I had a simple nightmare, so please don't make a big deal out of It," I say, with a mouthful of pancake. "Well then, as you both know, I'm having a fashion show in two month's to show off my latest design's to japan's top fashion invester's," Mom told us setting her pink coffee cup down. "Yes, of coarse mother," Kaoru replied, eating his pancake's in a mannerful way. "I decided to have my fashion show here," Our mom told us with a smile. "Really?" I mumbled, not caring at all. "Yes and we will have a party going on during the fashion show, so everyone will have fun!" she told us standing up. Our mom's Idea of fun was boring music and fancy food not even we could eat. "And you know your friend Haruhi right? Well I wan't her to be one of my model's for the show!" she told us dancing,"Isn't that great!" My pancake fell to the floor. Kaoru choked on his pancake. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Kaoru and I shouted together.
Kaoru and I got out the front door. Our servant's hid their laughter as we passed by. Kaoru and I entered the limo and shut the door hard. I held my face to stop the throbing. Kaoru held his arm. "Get us some Ice!" I shouted at our driver. The driver got us some Ice in a bag. As our driver drove us to school, I put the ice to my face. "Why does our mom have to be soo strong? ughh and why does she want Haruhi at her fashion show?" Kaoru asked me, putting ice to his arm. "I dont know, but we both know Haruhi can't go, It would be too much for her...she would remember..," I whispered. Kaoru looked away. I held his hand in mine. "Hikaru...you do know we will eventually have to remember...," Kaoru told me sadly. "I know," I replied not wanting to belive it.
At the host club, I could barely stay awake. I noticed Haruhi was as tired as I was. There was something about her today...she seemed down. When hosting was finished, I walked up to her. ""Haruhi?" I say standing in front of her. She looked up at me. "DAUGHTER!" Tamaki yelled behind me. I rolled my eye's. I watched as Tamaki hugged Haruhi. It never seized to keep my blood boiling. Kyoya looked up from his notebook sadly at the hugging Tamaki and Haruhi. I wonder...did he like Haruhi? "Tamaki...let me go!" Haruhi hissed. Tamaki left to his emo corner. Hunny laughed at Tamaki, Mori smiled lightly. Kaoru now sat beside Haruhi. Suddenly Haruhi got up and ran out of the room. Tamaki was about to go, but Kaoru stopped him. I ran for Haruhi. I caught up with her in the hall. "Haruhi!" I shouted, grabbing her arm. She looked at me with tear filled eye's. I just stared. "Hikaru...," She choked. She fell to her knee's. I got down on my knee's and studied her face. "Hikaru...It's happening...I...she...," She hugged me. "Please don't leave me...,'' She cried. I held her, confused. "What's going on?" I ask, afraid now. "We need to talk...," She whisper's. Who knew from there on nothing would ever be the same...
