Step inside the mind of Yuki.

I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. It had happened again. Once again I had trusted him and once again it had ended in tears. I could see in his eyes the regret. He knew what he had done but it was too late.

'Yuki.' He said softly, his hand reaching out to me. I backed away and he froze.

'No, Kaoru. Just leave me alone.' I told him quietly, my voice shaking with the emotions inside. Looking at Hikaru briefly and seeing the shocked and horrified look on his face, I ran. I always run.

I had come back to tell him something that I had decided after the club. Something that couldn't wait until the next day. I wanted to tell him I trusted him again. I was sure I could, sure of it. But then I had heard the conversation and his yell.

'I'm in your class remember. I've seen who you like. A certain girl near the back who you can't keep your eyes off of…' renege teased in a singsong voice.

'That's not true! I don't like Yuki!'

I suppose I had known it really. It wouldn't have lasted; it was too good to be true. It would have been something he did or something I did but it would have happened eventually. Something always did.

But I didn't hate him for it, not even a little bit. I liked him too much to hate him. Maybe even loved him. But it didn't matter. He didn't even like me. I could feel the tears falling and knew I wasn't going to make it to the car. So I slipped into the girl's bathroom just down the hall and slumped against the wall. I could feel the sobs racking my body. I felt so stupid, getting so worked up over something as stupid as this. But it was no use. The tears wouldn't stop. Not for me, not for anything.

A broken heart was my only company now.

It felt like hours before the bathroom door opened but it must have only been half an hour or so. I looked up sharply as I saw a pair of boy's shoes walking towards me but relaxed when I saw Haruhi. Her expression was tight with worry and her eyes were filled with pity.

I looked back down again as she approached, slightly ashamed at what I probably looked like. She had probably seen the whole thing.

'Yuki.' she said to me softly, her voice holding a hint of exasperation. I looked up again but didn't meet her eyes as she bent down to my height on the bathroom floor. Slowly, she wiped my face with the sleeve of her blazer.

'Haruhi?' I asked her quietly, recovering from my tears long enough to meet the other girls eyes. She smiled and looked at me in question. The look made me tear up again and I threw myself gratefully into her arms, sobbing into her warm blazer. I was glad she was here. It felt so much better with someone with me. I felt I could cry as much as I wanted as Haruhi rocked me gently in her arms and made shushing sounds every other minute.

I had soon cried myself dry but stayed in her arms as I slowly found myself falling into the darkness of a peaceful sleep.

This is a bit shorter than some of the others but I felt that making it longer would ruin it… besides; I play this by instinct and whatever happens to go when I write it. I seem to be having bursts of inspiration and when I've started its hard to stop!
