Silence Will Break Even The Most Tender Of Hearts

Thoughts raced through Haruhi's head as the reins slipped threw her fingers and she flew backwards off the bridge down into the icy cold water of the river below, but the one which hit her as she plunged through the surface of the water was, 'He didn't come, he didn't try to save me...'

She gave up to the pull of the river; if he didn't want her she didn't want her life. If it hadn't been for the pair of strong arms that caught her and pulled her out of the water, she would have just carried on down stream waiting till the cold water finally granted her the escape she yearned for.

It was not to be; as the pair of arms wrapped around her and pulled her to the surface forcing her to breathe, as she was crowded by a group of people all concerned for her safety. She should have felt relief that they cared so much for her but it only made it worse, as the care she yearned for could not come from this group of boys but from the one who let her fall off the bridge, into the icy depths.

"Haruhi! Are you okay?"

"Haruhi – what's wrong?"

"Haru-chan, you're okay!!"

"Humph,"

"What happened to the carriage – you realise that that will be added to your debt don't you?"

All the voices belonged to each member of the host club, Kaoru, Hikaru, Honey, Mori and Kyouya. All Haruhi could manage before she blacked out was, "He didn't come back..." With that her head fell and her body went limp.

"Quick someone phone an ambulance!" both of the twins yelled simultaneously.

Without another word Kyouya was dialling the number of the hospital that the Ootori family owned, getting them to dispatch on of the private ambulances; Kyouya couldn't afford for Haruhi to die...she still had a debt to repay.

In the car Tamaki tried to get out to run back to the bridge if he had to, he had to find Haruhi – to make sure she was all right. He did not even know what was compelling him to do this, every thought that went through his head was about Haruhi, each of those thoughts sent a stabbing pain to his heart. Each one making him break down even further. When he couldn't fight it any more he broke down into sobs not even trying to hide the fact that he was crying. Haruhi had fallen off the bridge and he hadn't been able to get out of the car in time to save her; he didn't even know if she had survived the fall.

"Tamaki! Get a hold of yourself! She's just a girl after all!" Eclair almost shouted at him.

"No she is not JUST a girl! She is the girl I LOVE!" he shouted back at her. Tamaki couldn't even believe he had said that but the more the thought buzzed around his brain the more true it felt.

Yes I do! I do love Haruhi!

With that he jumped out of the car as fast as he could even though it was still moving. He ran and ran back to the spot Haruhi had fallen from. He looked down and saw her laying on the river bank not moving with the rest of the host club around her.

"No, I'm too late...Haruhi's dead..."

He broke down into sobs in the middle of the road. Now not only had he lost the only chance he had of seeing his mother again, also he had lost the one girl he had ever loved.

Down on the river banks the ambulance arrived and the paramedics lifted Haruhi on to the stretcher and carried her into the ambulance. Then came the fight on who got to go with her inside the ambulance; naturally Kyouya had to go with her as it was his family's hospital, that left one other place. The twins wanted to go but one wouldn't go without the other so that left Mori and Honey...naturally Mori let Honey go instead of him. So the ambulance left with Haruhi, Kyouya and Honey inside. Leaving the other three behind as the twins phoned for their own limo to take them to the hospital. Little did anyone know that Tamaki was soon to be admitted to the same hospital.
