A/N Hello again!
Outfit for this on my profile page.

Ouran High School Host Club doesn't belong to me, only Tessa/ Other oc's

"The beach?" I asked Haruhi as I walked over to my kitchen table with my glass of apple juice.

"Apparently Hikaru and Kaoru's family got a beach house a couple hours away from here, they want everyone to visit." Haruhi said taking a bite out of the eggs I gave her.

It was about nine in the morning when Haruhi arrived on this first beautiful day of summer. I've been awake for about an hour, not having curtains in the only room the sun shines in on in the morning sucks. Anyway Tamaki texted me or all of us in the Host Club about going to the beach for a weekend or so.

"You want me to come? I said taking a sip of my apple juice.

Haruhi looked up in confusion. "Yeah… Tessa are you okay?"

"No I'm fine, just give me an hour to get ready." I said getting up leaving the apple juice on the table.

"Tamaki's picking us up ten, everyone has gone ahead!" I heard Haruhi yelling as I walked out of the room and up the stairs.

"Holy Shit!"

I got out of the limo and ran towards the ocean forgetting about Tamaki and Haruhi.

It was a short run since the road was right next to the beach, so I just took off running down the hill.

"Tessa, hold on!" I heard Haruhi yell but I didn't want to stop.

I haven't been to the ocean or the beach because my mom is afraid of the ocean. She would always spurt a fact or two about people drowning or getting eaten by a shark every year. My dad and grandmother were so busy that they couldn't take my sister or I anywhere.

"Hey Tessa!" I saw Hunny on the beach as I ran past him.

"Hi!" I yelled as I ran into the ocean after kicking off my shoes.

It was freezing but the air was warm so it wasn't that bad. I just went up to my knees since I still had my shorts and shirt on. I jumped up and down as I splashed, I looked like a little kid but I really loved the ocean.

"Looks like you're having fun!" I heard the twins say.

I turned around and looked at the Twins standing right by the tide. They were still dressed in their shorts and tee shirts. I walked over to them reaching my hand down. When I got over to them I successfully sprayed water on them, both of them just stood there as they reached into their back pockets.

I suddenly got what they were doing to I ran towards the house.

"Don't you even through that water balloon at me!" I yelled as I heard the twins laugh.

Once I got into my bikini, my only bathing suit, I walked out of the house. Haruhi had already changed into a bikini as well, something the twins provided because she couldn't afford one.

I walked down a stone path that had grass and trees growing along the path. It was very pretty but it didn't have much flowers. Once I reached the end of the path I was greeted with two water balloons.

"Damn you take forever to get changed." Hikaru said as he laughed.

I glared at him as I ran past them, doing a front hand spring then proceed into the ocean. My sister taught me how to do a front handspring when she was obsessed with being a gymnast. She made me practice every day, it was terrible.

"I love the ocean!" I said as I fell back into the water, it didn't hurt as much as I thought.

I swam for a while, poking my head out of the water to see the Host Club doing random things. Kyouya was there but he was doing some work by a beach bar. The twins got a volleyball game going with Haruhi and Tamaki. Mori and Hunny were busy building sandcastles so I decided to help them. I got out of the water, seeing my cover up on top of a towel that I guess is mine. I dried off and threw on the shirt walking over to Mori and Hunny.

"Hey, can I join you guys?" I asked them.

"Sure Tess-Chan!" Hunny smiled as I walked over to Mori, sitting in the between them.

"You really love the beach don't you?" Hunny said after a minute or two.

"My mom is a thalassophobia, which means you have a phobia of the ocean, so I didn't have that many chances to go to the beach." I said as I got a bucket of sand.

"Then what's your phobia?" I heard two voices behind me.

I jumped up in the air, crushing Hunny's sand castle with my hand.

"Hunny I am so sorry!" I yelled paying more attention to Hunny then the twins.

"Don't worry about it Tessa." Hunny smiled maturely.

"You two need to stop scaring her." I heard Mori speak up, he was trying to fix Hunny's castle.

Wow he does speak…

"But it's fun!" Hikaru said as I got up and glared at them.

"Why would I tell you my phobia?" I said seriously.

The twins turned around and walked over to Tamaki.

Alright then…

I turned around and helped Hunny with another castle but Hunny and Mori were gone. I turned around again to see everyone standing by Kyouya who had pictures of…

How in the living hell did he get those pictures from… I'm going to kill Angela when I get home.

I pouted, turned around and ran towards the ocean where I stayed flouting on my back. The sun's rays beaming on my body making me warmer. It was peaceful, until the twins came and dragged me off towards a cave.

After most of the Host Club drug me around the place I finally got that they were trying to figure out my phobia was.

Duh… I bet the pictures were a prize, creepy…

"You were scared but not enough for it to be a phobia." Hikaru said looking at me questionably.

"Again you'll never know." I said crossing my arms. It they ever figure it out I hope it would be by me telling them not by experience.

"We always figure it out…" They said as I walked away towards the path. The sunset was very pretty but we have tomorrow's sunset so I'll just go eat now.

As I walked up the stone path saw a bush in front of me move, I then walked faster hoping I could just skim past it but then a snake came out and slithered across the pathway.

"AH" I screamed as I backed up and crouched into fetal position.

CALM down Tessa it's alright it's not like anything was going to happen but then again the snakes here are poisn- don't scare yourself more.

I could feel myself about to cry, which is pretty pathetic but I was seriously terrified of snakes. I thought I heard another one and saw that a snake was in the middle of the path just sitting there.

"AHH" I screamed again closing my eyes and started to breathe heavily.

Don't panic

Don't panic

Don't panic.

I snapped out of it when I heard Hikaru yelling my name.

"TESSA!"

I stayed in the same position, not being able to move what so ever. This is really bad, I didn't want them to see me like this expecailly the twins. I know their nice but I don't want to be that girl who is too weak or something.

"FOUND HER!" I heard Hikaru yell as he walked over to me. He put his hand on my back which made me jump.

"Tessa what's wrong." I heard Kaoru say as I heard him walk over to me. I couldn't see anything but I could tell that they didn't see the snake.

"Get. That. Snake. Out. Or. Here" I somehow said as I felt like digging myself into a deep deep hole. This was embarrassing.

"Okay." I heard Kaoru say as Hikaru tried to get me to stand up.

"I can't move." I said silently hoping they would just leave me here to die or at least calm down.

"Come on." Hikaru said as he poked me again.

"It's gone." Kaoru said as I lifted my head to see Kaoru and Hikaru, who looked surprised by my crying.

"Oh good…" I muttered as I realize I could move my body again. I felt more tears on my face.

I stood up slowly and when I was sure I wouldn't trip I ran past Kaoru to the house.

"I'm sorry we forgot to say people were spotting snakes on the trails." Haruhi said.

"It's fine… ugh." I said as I fell back onto her comfy bed.

"You sure you're okay?" Haruhi asked as she sat next to me.

"Yeah." I said dreamily as I remembered running back into the beach house into Haruhi's room since she went back ten minutes before I went up. "I usually get scared when I see a snake then after I am completely fine."

"Did you have a bad experience as a kid or something?" Haruhi said she looked worried still since I came to her room crying.

"No, but I read up on it and found out that it's a common phobia or something." I said closing my eyes.

"Can't I just sleep in your room?" I said changing the topic. "I don't want to share one with the twins…"

For some reason the only rooms that were available were two single rooms and two rooms with three beds in them. I somehow got stuck with the twins, Kyouya got his own room and Hunny, Mori and Tamaki were sharing one. Of course Haruhi got the other single room because she's dating Tamaki or something.

Should have put her with someone since it would be easier for them to do something, not like they would…

"Like last time?" Haruhi giggled.

"I kicked you off one time!" I said seriously but ended up laughing.

"Uh huh…" Haruhi giggled as someone knocked her door.

"Hello?" I heard Tamaki say.

Haruhi got up and answered the door. Tamaki walked in and was about to say something to Haruhi but he then noticed I was in the room.

"TESSERA!" Tamaki said as he ran over to me, giving me a bear hug.

Uh…

"Tamaki?"

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you about the snakes!" Tamaki wailed as he went all dramatic.

"Tamaki it's okay, she's fine." Haruhi said, clearly enjoying my discomfort.

"Well we have to go see the twins, you ran off after they tossed the snake away." Tamaki said as he drug me off out of the room.

"Help." I muttered at Haruhi who was following us.

"Tamaki she can walk on her own." Haruhi said picking up her pace to match her boyfriends.

"Oh okay…" Tamaki let go of my hand as we walked into the dining room.

It was all blank, a long wood table and some wooden chairs. The twins were helping out with the renovations since their parents were busy with work. I guess they didn't have time with all the Host Club things they were doing.

"Tess-Chan!" Hunny ran up to me.

I grabbed him and hugged him back. Mori and Kyouya were the only other ones in the room, I could see them let out a breathe that they held in.

Well I did just run away towards the house and didn't have my phone…

"Hey, where are the twins." I asked as I let Hunny go.

"In your shared room, are you okay?" Hunny said the first part fast; he was worried about me I guess.

"Guy's I'm fine, I just needed help getting the snake away." I said backing up.

I really need to apologize to the twins for scaring them…

"I'm sorry if I worried you guys…" I finally said as I turned around and ran out to our shared room.

I opened the door slowly only to see Kaoru and Hikaru in their separate beds.

I know it's dark but really… sleeping…

"Guys, it is like…" I checked my watch. "Eight."

I didn't hear anything from them so I walked over to the light switch and turned it on. Big mistake.

Once it was on the twins pelted me with pillows and then doused me with whipped cream. I stood their frozen in shock before I picked up a pillow and pelted Hikaru with it. I then picked up another one and pelted Kaoru with it.

"You are going down!" Hikaru roared as he ran towards me, throwing me onto the bed.

He then proceeds to do the one thing a person should never do to me.

Tickle me.

"Hi-Ka-Ru…" I said as I was laughing. I tried to kick him but it was a failed attempt.

I kept laughing even after he stopped.

"You two, tha-"I was about to say thanks as Kaoru sprayed chocolate syrup all over me.

Usually I would be mad but I just let my inner child win. I just fell back and started to laugh which turned into an ugly laugh.

"God what an ugly laugh…" Hikaru joked as he proceeded to tickle me again.

"NO!"

After dinner we decided to all do something tomorrow night since I was pretty tired. After my whole panic attacks and the attacks attach that Hikaru gave me.

I laid in my bed, closest to the door. I was facing the twins' beds, Hikaru was the bed next to me, Kaoru's was the farthest away. I looked at their heads as their blanckets rose and sank to match their breathing.

I knew what they were doing for me, trying to make me smile. I was always happy with the Host Club so I guess I scared the twins with my panic attacks, I guess some things won't change for the twins. Not the worse though, I do get a lot of anxiety attacks when I get very stressed out but they happen almost never.

I silently thanked them and closed my eyes.

Sometimes I forget that I have the Host Club here with me. Their friends meaning they care about me.

That sounds nice.

Sorry about some of the seriousness, I want to keep this story lighthearted but it's kind of hard to move on a story without it.

Love yeah-Kaitlyn Ashley ( ^ω^ )
