Chapter 1: What have I done?
Hikaru POV
I was lying on my bed. Just lying. I hadn't moved an inch for two hours. I had also missed dinner. I was waiting for him to come home. But he still hadn't. I was worried about him but no emotion crossed my face.
Why did I say that?!
"Hikaru," my mother's voice came from the door. I didn't move a muscle. She sighed and sat on the edge of my bed.
"Kaoru called. He's staying at his friend's house tonight," she informed me. It stung me that he didn't even want to come home. Yet I remained still and emotionless.
"Hikaru, please come eat something. I'm worried about you. You even have your father worried." I didn't reply. I didn't want to talk.
"Hikaru, please. Talk to me. Tell me what happened. I can't help if you keep me ignorant. I'm sure whatever happened that Kaoru will forgive you." I continued to pretend she wasn't there. I knew I was hurting her but she didn't need to know. NO! She couldn't know. It would only embarrass and hurt Kaoru more. So I remained silent. The weight next to me lifted as my mum stood. She let out a sigh and left the room.
I don't remember falling asleep but I woke the next morning feeling sad and empty having no one else lying in the double bed with me.
"Kaoru," I found myself whispering, "I'm sorry." But he wasn't there to hear and I worried if he ever would be.
Later that day
I was lying on the floor in the host club like I had been lying last night, only instead of my mum it was Mori-Sempai at my side. I had my phone playing music. Specifically, 'Believe' by Skillet. Suddenly, a pair of feet were in my line of view. I looked up at the person with no interest in my eyes. It was Kyoya.
"I'm going to assume that you won't be working today," he spoke. I didn't reply, just continued looking at him.
"Does anyone know where Kaoru is? He hasn't been at school all day," Haruhi asked from somewhere in the room. I really didn't care for her. I just wanted my brother.
"Kao-Chan didn't want to come to school today so he stayed at my house," Honey-Sempai answered her. I let out a sigh.
He didn't want to come because he didn't want to see me.
Mori-Sempai rubbed my side, sensing my sorrow.
"Kaoru," I whispered. He was the only thought going through my mind. I couldn't focus on anything else. Even while I was doing my school work I could only think of him.
"Don't get too down," Mori-Sempai advised. I nodded my head, showing him I had heard him. Trying to liven myself up, I moved from lying on the ground to sitting. I was slumped over though and I felt even more pathetic.
"The girls will be here soon," Haruhi informed. Everyone went round to their positions but I just walked over to a small patch of ground near a wall.
"I'm sorry, Kaoru," I whispered.
AN: This is SO short. Oh well, it looks longer on my phone. (By the way, I write all my stories in the notes section of my iPhone so it always seems longer than it actually is, hence the short chapters.) I didn't say it last time but don't forget to review, favourite and follow.
