Chapter 11 : Tell Me

Last time:

She then kissed me urgently as if it was the last time she would be able to do so and broke away at the next moment later. "I'll be fine. Now, you must go. I will see you tomorrow." She said frantically and hopeful. She then nudged me to the stairs and nodded in encouragement for me to leave. She watched me get in the car and waited for it to start to move before quickly going inside. I did not leave. Something wasn't right. I had a feeling that something was drastically wrong.

Hunny's P.O.V:

After the car started to move I watched Haruhi quickly make her way inside. Once the door was closed I had the car stopped and I waited. After a while I watched as her mother leave. Wait I thought that her mother died when she was young and didn't she say it was her father that needed to be helped? Something didn't feel right. Trusting my gut I made my way up to her door and knocked. When I knocked on the door it opened by itself and what I saw inside made my heart stop. Haruhi laid there on the floor bleeding, gently sobbing with her arms covering her head. " Haruhi?" I gently called her name. Her head snapped up in attention towards me. She looked like a deer caught in headlights at seeing me. A look of shame came to her face and she looked away from me. My heart broke for her and my blood boiled at the fact that someone would dare hurt her. I watched as she started to push herself up from the ground and collapsed before she could get up completely. I moved to her and carefully took her into my arms, propping her so we were both in sitting positions. "Haruhi what happened? Who hurt you? We need to get you to the hospital. You are covered in blood." She made an attempt to to move away from me shaking her head in denial. I wouldn't allow it and held on to her a little tighter. "No." She said, "No. I am not going to a hospital. I am fine. Please… just please let me go." My temper rose. How could she say that? She is bleeding for crying out loud! And nothing is wrong! She is Fine! I tightened my grip a little and addressed her with a tone that left no room for argument, "Do not lie to me Haruhi. I am not stupid. I know for a fact that you are not fine you are bleeding and bruised. What the hell happened and why won't you let me take you to the hospital? I can help you just have to let me." Once again she shook her head negatively. She desperately looked at me pleading with her eyes for me to understand, "I can't go to a hospital okay. I am fine. I need you to trust me. I will be okay." She hesitantly leaned up and kissed my cheek. To say that it threw me for a loop would be an understatement. Using my shock to her advantage she cradled my arms in hers and moved them away from her waist where they were wrapped around her. Now free from my grasp before I could comprehend what she was doing she stood and limped down the hall a couple feet, turned and disappeared into a room.

I was not going to let this happen. I am not going to let her run from me. Whoever did this will not get away with it. I stood and went to the room I saw her disappear into. It was a bathroom. My love had gotten down a first-aid kit and was starting to rummage through it. I noticed that a lot of her injuries were on her back, shoulders and she had a couple on her chest. Not to mention that her face was close to looking completely black and blue. Fine looks like we are going to do this the long and hard way. I left the room and went to the door that looked like it could be a linen closet. I guessed right and pulled out a black sheet that I found at the top of her closet. Walking back into the bathroom with the sheet I kneeled infront of Haruhi with the sheet and addressed her with a soft voice, " Fine we won't go to a hospital but, you are not going to take care of this on your own. You need to take a shower and clean your injuries before we do anything. When you are finished cover yourself with this sheet and tell me when you are done. I will help bandage your injuries." She looked at me and went to protest. I gave her a look that clearly said there was no room for arguing and she finally gave in nodding to show me she understood. Nodding to her I gently kissed her head and left the room.

Haruhi was in the shower for a good 20 minutes before I heard the water turn off. I waited for ten minutes and when she didn't call to me I went to go check on her. I walked up to the door that led to the bathroom and knocked. "Haruhi, are you decent?" I called through the door. Her muffled reply came a few moments later, "It's okay, I can take care of it myself." I took a deep breath and calmed my anger before I walked into the bathroom. Damn she's stubborn. She was covered in the sheet and wrapping her hand. She had just finished wrapping her hand when I walked up to her and took the bandages from her. She looked up at me with a frightened look and tears in her eyes. It broke my heart. "It's okay I'm not going to hurt you Haruhi. And don't even think about asking me to leave. I am not going anywhere until you tell me what the hell is going on here and what happened." I spoke to her with a demanding but soft tone. She looked away from me and didn't say anything. Fine she can play the silent treatment for now but she will tell me eventually. I gently took her arm in my hands and wrapped the cut that she had on her bicep. After an hour of silence I had finished wrapping all of her injuries. I gingerly grabbed her chin in between my forefinger and thumb and made her look at me. "Okay no more avoiding talking to me, what the hell happened and what is going on." Tears formed in her eyes and she breathily replied, " Fine. I will tell you… But… But not here and… and not when I am covered in nothing but a sheet." I sighed and nodded. " Okay. Go change and then I will take you wherever you want so we can talk."

Haruhi's POV:

I can't believe this. Right now I am at the point I wish it would all just end. First he comes back early, drunk off his ass and then proceeded to beat me until there is now way I will be able to hide what he has done. Then as I lie on the floor as a pathetic mess Mitsukuni shows up. I never wanted anyone to find out what is happening in my life. I have so done well at hiding it. Now he knows and he is the last person I wanted to know. The moment I saw him I could see the hurt and absolute rage in his eyes. I am now dressed but stalling. I don't want to tell him. I don't want him to know. But, I also know that there is no point in hiding from him any longer because he is going to make me talk and there is no more point in lying to him. No use in staling any longer might as well go and face him. I quietly and slowly left my room and walked out to the hall where I saw Mitsukuni not too far away from where my door was. "Are you ready to go?" he asked. I nodded and he took my hand and lead me down to a car. I watched as he opened to passenger side door and looked at me expectantly. I got in and looked towards him curiously. Noticing my gaze he said, " I thought I would drive so that there wouldn't be any unwanted ears. Where would you like to go?" I thought about it for a moment and gave him directions on where to go. Once we arrived he pulled off the road and parked the car. I got out and made my way up the hill that lead to a small forrest sort of place. I kept going walking into the thick barrier of trees with Mitsukuni following behind me. I stopped when I reached the middle of the forest where there was a meadow filled with bluebells and fireflies. I sat in the center of the meadow and closed my eyes thinking of how I was going to explain everything to my beloved. I felt him sit next to me and let out a sigh. He gently placed my chin in between his index finger and thumb, turning my head so I was facing him. I opened my eyes and he looked at my with an expression of complete seriousness. "It is time Haruhi, tell me what is going on." I nodded my head and a tear slid down my cheek as I looked him in the eyes. "Okay."
