Chapter 2: Haunted

She could not bear it anymore as her guilt set in. The way they all watched her, awaiting an answer she wasn't quite sure she was ready to give yet. "Well...I..." her words trailed off while she watched each of their faces. "Uhh..." Tamaki looked over at him, concern written in his handsome features.
"Haruhi?" Tamaki leaned in, his breathe on her neck. "Haruhi. Are you all right?" Haruhi looked upon her fiance but after a moment, she looked away. She hated to see his unhappy face staring at her. It hurt her to see him so sad. The man she cared so much for. So why did she feel like she did. Like she was drowning in luke warm water, to cold for her comfort but not cold enough to be hot? She made the mistake of turning and found herself staring into Hikaru's steady locked gaze. She was in a void. Trapped in a empty blackness, no longer able to hide anything from its ice cold clarity. She found herself giving into the dark thoughts in the back of her brain.

"You'll make a good Suoh Haruhi"
"What about Hitachiin?"

She felt sick to her stomache as it all sunk in. Rotting her brain from the inside out. She was cruel. So selfish.

"I thought you were over me Hikaru"

Haruhi's emotions turned from concern to sheer panic. What if she made a mistake? She loved Tamaki. But wasn't her love for Tamaki the same as she had for the others? Hunny? Mori? Kaoru? Dad? Was it just family love? Was her love for Tamaki and Hikaru different.

"Yeah I lied."

"I-I'm sorry!" She wasnt sure where the words came from but they swung from her lips easily. Why was she sorry. Haruhi faced the crowd, ready to flee. She was being watched by all the host club, only minus who could not make it. Renge was staring at her from the side of the alter, starring at her with aww. But it wasn't just her. Everyone was waiting for her. To reply, to run. To do something. The Suoh family were upfront, eyeing her cautiously. But did she dare? She sucked in her breath, glancing at Hikaru nervously, hoping for his aide. However his face was blank. She udder-ed a failed apology out of her lips once more, barely audible in the screaming silence. Then she looked Tamaki in the eye. And she ran.

"Haruhi!"
