Okay, here's the next chapter!
Something to say shortly.
Yes, I am planning a sequel. Yes, it is almost summer. Yes I have the plot for the next one. This is all you'll need to know for now. ;3
Also, I really enjoy the reviews you guys give me. I'd like to thank my loyal readers!
Now on to the chapter!
(Side note: Sorry it took so long, but I've had a case of the most impossible writers block and have been unable to do anything till now. I'm very sorry, and I hope you enjoy it with extra love.)
It was all too familiar. The clean, white walls of the hospital. It was surreal. She turned her head; the bed beside hers held Mori, swathed in bandaging and unconscious. She turned her head to the other side, the familiar face of Honey beside her. At first she was glad, but then she realized that he wasn't beside his cousin. Her face scrunched up in thought and the little teen shifted. His eyes flickered open and she stopped thinking, rather blinking and keeping her eyes on him. He looked at her for a little bit before scooting closer and gently touching her hand.
"Morning, Haruhi-chan!" His soft voice held excitement and she couldn't help but smile.
"Hello, Honey-senpai. I'm glad to see you." The little blond smiled weakly in return.
"I'm glad you're both okay for the most part. I'm sorry it took so long to find you, but Kyoya just got back and-" Haruhi had placed her finger over his lips, stopping him from talking.
"I'm fine. If anything, you should be worried more about Mori. He was there longer than I ever was. I'll go back to sleep, but I want you to keep an eye on him, okay? If I need you, I'll wave." She tried to reassure him with a smile, but it looked a little like a grimace. He didn't argue, though, and went to the empty chair beside Mori's rather than her own. Letting out a small sigh, she relaxed and fell back to sleep, trying to ease her mind into dreamlessness, but failed, continuing to be plagued by the nightmares of the men hurting her, her friends, and Honey most of all. Her dreamself tried to shake it off, but couldn't do it. She was too tired to fight the horrible images.
Honey sat beside Haruhi's bed, looking at her face with concern. It was contorted in a picture of frustraition and hopelessness. He gently shook her shoulders, trying to get her to wake up.
"Hey, Haru-chan. It's just a dream. Haru-chan, wake up. It's not real." He urged while continuing to shake her. Her eyes shot open and she grabbed him, burying her face in his shoulder. Honey hugged her close and patted her back comfortingly.
"It's okay Haru-chan. I'm here and I won't let them hurt you any more. You're safe now." He soothed, eyes filling with sadness. Why had his friends gotten dragged into all of this. The loli kept holding Haruhi until she fell back into a more restful and dreamless sleep, and even then, he continued to hold her. Not letting go until he felt himself dozing. Gently, he set her head on the pillow and nestled his head by her arm. Soon, soft snores filled the quiet, white room.
Again, sorry for being busy, but this is just a respite to give you all a little break. :I Lost my notebook YET again, so it'll be a while before I can actually do much. Don't forget to review!
