Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews. It just... I cried for hours of joy to know that there are so many people who support me. I can't even wrap my head around it. All I wanted in life was to make something people enjoy, and to be remembered for something. To know that that is happening... I just can't tell you how much that makes me feel... I feel great. My life goals have been accomplished, so thank ou all for the support, and the reviews.
But one stood out the most. So this part is dedicated to FireheartNinja, and her mother, because she (I'm assuming you're a female... if not, I sincerly apologize) is an amazing person, a strong person, and a true, real life Andy Val, for real.
Also, to Shan-Shan XP, who sent me a review of exactly what I wanted people to feel from reading this personified. You get exactly what I'm trying to do, and that has honestly made my entire life. Also, thank you. I can never explain how much your review has made me feel. I could honestly never find the right words in this or any other lifetime.
Next part is the hosts' plus Andy vacation!
I hope you all have a blessed life (Or a great one, if you don't believe in any religion) and I hope I can help you guys as much as you've helped me.
I disclaim all that isn't mine.
*WARNING* Andy uses a not so nice C word in this...
"Better a lie that soothes that a truth that hurts."
- Czech Proverb
Tamaki stares back at his best friend. He looked pale, like he's seen a ghosts. He looks over at Andy, seeing her laugh and smile. "It can't... Not to Auntie..." He says, looking back at his friend with desperate eyes.
"It's true," He says, "They've tested, retested, and tested again. It's past the point where medicine, chemotheripy, radiation, could help."
"Kyoya," Tamaki says, "You have to tell her!"
"You think I LIKE keeping this from her," Kyoya yells. Eyes looked over at the pair, including Haruhi's, Mori's and Honey's. Kyoya looks in the opposite direction, "I don't want to keep this from her. I want to tell her, every second of every day. Do you realized how hard that is, to look at the person who love the most, and know that you're lying to them?!"
Tamaki frowns, "I know you don't... but is it really for her beneifit?"
"Her mother wants to wait until after the Olympics," He says, "It is a 99% chance that she will be able to wait that long, and tell her after. She just doesn't want Andy to drop her dream for her."
Tamaki nods, "Mon ami... have you thought of what could happen when she find out this is what you're holding from her?"
"She could hate me," He says, "But... for a chance for her to reach her dream, I'm willing to sacrifice that. I'm willing to let her hate me if she accomplishes a life long dream."
"Not just that... but she may never be able to trust you again."
"I know that," He says, "I know what I'm doing, and that it will hurt her... but I'm prolonging that pain as long as I can... is that really so bad?"
"I don't know," tamaki says, "This isn't a good or bad issue. It's not just black and white... There's some positives, but it seems to me there's a lot more negatives for her... AND you."
Koyoa nods, "I know."
"I don't know what to tell you other than that," Tamaki says, "I just hope you know what you're doing.
"I hope I do too," Kyoya mutters to himself as Andy and the twins walk up, all three of them laughing.
Andy sits next to Kyoya, grinning up at him, "This was a pretty good idea. I'm kind of glad they woke me up."
"That makes one of us," he says.
She rolls her eyes, "Live is for living, Kyoya, not to sleep all day."
Tamaki smiles, "That it is, Auntie!"
She smiles at Tamaki, "Thank you!"
The club spent hours at the festival. Most of them laughed until they cried, many more stuffed things were won, and much for grease filled food was consumed (Like deep friend chunks of caramel? Andy was very pleased at those). When it came time for the festival to close, most of them didn't want to part ways, so they all made plans to do something tomorrow.
Andy leaned against Kyoya yawning loudly. "I'm tired," she says, rubbing her eyes.
"Well, you're home now," He says, exiting the car and holding a hand to help Andy up.
"Thank you," She says, walking over to the stairs. She starts going up, with Kyoya right behind her. After getting to her door, she unlocks it and smiles at him. "So, what did you and Tamaki talk about that needed me to be whisked away?"
Kyoya tensed up, "Nothing."
Andy looks up at him with a cocked eyebrow, "Okay..."
He looks down at her, and she simply smiled at him. He took her face in his hands, and rested his forehead on hers. "I'm sorry," He says, keeping his eyes closed. "I don't want to keep things from you... you know that don't you?"
She gives him an odd look, "I'm well aware of that."
"If it was anyone but you..." he starts.
"It'll be alright," she says, hugging him, "just hug me, ok?"
He hugs her close to him. She smiles, hearing his heartbeat. she looks up to tell him something, but his lips stop her. It was so full of raw passion and love. It was the kind of kiss someone would give a person they were never going to see again, like she was water and, without her, he'd die. Once they parted, Andy's head was so cloudy, shocked by the intensity of it all. He pulls her to him, hugging her tightly, but not so that it would hurt her.
"I love you too, Kyoya," She simply says, smiling to herself.
It was the last day of classes before a small little spring break sort of deal. Andy was laying out in the soccer field, letting the sun beat down on her as she breathes heavily. Kyoya finally let her start training again, now that her ankle was fine and her shoulder didn't hurt too bad. She takes her water bottle and opens her mouth, dumping all of the water in her mouth, as well as her face and neck. The cool water felt good as she just sat there, looking up at clouds. She smiles to herself, her mind imagining her first Olympic goal.
And celebrated her first world cup goal a lot like she celebrated her first ever goal... she went completely crazy. She had a feeling that if she does make the team, her first Olympic one will be much of the same. There's just something about world wide tournaments that fuel her desire even more. That it's time to get it done, and bring the goal home to her country.
She did the math too. The quarterfinal game would be her 100th cap... her 100th time playing for her country. She wanted nothing more than to get there. It was something that she could take pride in, because a lot of people never get to that milestone when playing for their country.
She sits up, feeling the grass stick to her arms and the back of her neck and legs as she walks towards the locker room to shower.
Andy was walking calmly home, letting the wind whip her bangs around her, water droplets falling from her hair. A black limo pulls up and Andy eyed it curiously.
The window lowers and Andy sees Tamaki smiling over, "Come on!"
"Where are we going," She says, opening the door and getting in. It was no use to say no anymore. He'd get her to do something no matter what, it it normally ended in her being kid napped.
"Toyama bay," He says, "We're staying at the My family's beach house."
"But my Mom-"
"Will be at the Hitachiin one, not even a soccer field away,"
"What about my clothes?"
"you mom packed you some already," He says, moving over. "Everyone else is already there, we just have to go get Kyoya."
Andy leans against the seat, "Alright."
The two talk casually for the ride. It was only about twenty minutes. Once the car stopped, Andy opened the door and walked to the door. After a few minutes, Tamaki and Andy were on their way to Kyoya's room when they ran into Mrs. Ootori.
She looks at Andy, "Hm, no wonder I smelled a wet dog."
Andy kept her mouth closed, attempting to walk around her, but she stepped to the side. "what do you want," she says, being thankful she tucked the necklace Kyoya gave her under her shirt.
"I would like to know why there's a scoundrel here," she says, crossing her arms with a smirk.
"Well, you do live here," Andy says, faking to the right. As the older woman went right, Andy got between her and the door.
Then, as if like a flash back, she felt someone grab her hair.
"Andy," Tamaki yells, reaching for her.
"If you don't let go of my hair, I'll see to it that you'll need a new nose job," Andy says, venom oozing from her words.
"At least I can afford one," she says.
Andy glares, knowing she was referring to the slight crookedness of her nose, when she broke it in middle school. Gritting her teeth, Andy yanks her head forward, her wet hair sliding out of her hands.
"Looks like you need work on your mouth too."
Andy glares. With her tongue, she felt towards her right incisor that had a small chip missing from it. It was hardly noticeable at all, really.
"Are you ok," Tamaki says, moving to her.
"I'm fine," she says, rolling her eyes.
"I thought I said I never wanted you here," Mrs. Ootori states, crossing her arms.
"I was under the impression that your husband is the one in control of the house. He has no problem with me being here, therefore, I can be here." Andy turns away, "Got a problem with that, take it up with him."
"I will. I can't believe he lets filth like you in here," she states, glaring at the girl. "You might be tracking something in here. I don't want to get sick like your mother. God, she's just as filthy as you are.
Andy turns, her anger snapping. "Listen here, you fucking bitch, I don't give a shit what you said about me, do to me, and what not, but next time you say a word about my mother like that, I'll make you regret it."
"But she is sick," she says.
"Andy," Tamaki says, taking her wrist.
"That's none of your goddamn business," Andy says, ripping her wrist out of Tamaki's hand.
"Oh," she smirks, "you mean to tell me... you don't know? Kyoya didn't tell you?"
"My mother doesn't want me to know," Andy says, "Now, fuck off, you putrid hag."
"What did you call me," she says, raising her hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Andy smiles, hearing his calm voice.
"Why not," she says, "She came in here, disrespected me... I have the right!"
"Adeline is technically here as an ambassador for her country, since she's a professional athlete who is attending school that US Soccer payed for, so if you touch her, you'll have the American government seeking punishment." He glares at her, "I'm sure Father wouldn't like that at all."
Mrs. Ootori glares at Andy, "I don't understand how of all of the people in the world, all of the ones who could help you gain favor with your father to secure you the company, all of those smart and intelligent girls, you choose this disgusting, ugly brat."
"Says the one throwing the temper tantrum like a five year old," Andy says, rolling her eyes and walking towards Kyoya. "Get your stuff and let's go, I'm sick of this."
She glares at Andy as Tamaki walks with Kyoya to get all his stuff. "Mark my words, you two will never last, I'll be sure of it."
"Will you just go be a cunt some where else," Andy says, slipping into English out of anger.
"What did you say?"
"You don't know English? And you think you're smarter than me?"
"That was a rhetorical question!"
"I'm honestly surprised you know that word."
She glares, fuming as she walks away, muttering words to herself.
Andy crosses her arms, walking into Kyoya room. Words spill from her mouth as she continues to curse at herself. She didn't stop until they were in the car, half way to their destination.
"Did she really have to make fun of my nose," she asks the two hosts, who just sat there, watching her boil in anger. She reaches up to it, feeling it, "and my chipped tooth? Wow."
"It's barely noticeable," Tamaki says, trying to comfort her.
"It's not like I asked for that chick to elbow me in the face," Andy says, looking down at her nose.
"It's not a big deal, Andy," Tamaki says, trying to help her. He looks at Kyoya, who gives him a look.
Kyoya knows that when Andy is like this, you have to wait for her to get down to the emotion she's trying to use anger to cover up.
"Of course she's only notice the negatives of anyone, especially me," Andy crosses her arms, "I know my tooth is chipped, I know my nose is crooked, I know I have a scar in my eyebrow and I know that it all makes me look to weird or too ugly, I don't need anyone to point it out to me. Hell, if anyone knows what's wrong about me, i'm the fucking goddamn expert."
"So the real problem is that you're upset that she called you ugly," Kyoya asks, already knowing the answer.
"If I said no, you wouldn't believe me, would you?"
"Not at all."
"Then yes, that is the problem," Andy says, glaring at the floor.
"You're trying to stay angry so you don't have to feel sad," Kyoya says, already knowing the answer.
Tears build up in her eyes as Andy tries so desperately to blink them away, "Yes."
Kyoya looks at her. Tamaki say a softness in his eyes that he's never seen for anyone before. Tamaki asked the driver to pull over, so he could stop and say he was getting something to drink, when really, he knows that this is a personal moment.
"I feel so stupid for letting her get to me," she says, wiping away tears.
"She does that," he says.
Andy leans against him, closing her eyes, "I know what you're going to say."
"Are you a mind reader, now?"
This causes her to crack the tiniest of smiles, "When it's you, yes."
"You're beautiful," He says, giving her a kiss on the forehead, "A broken nose, or a chipped tooth will not change that."
Andy takes a deep breath, "T...thank you."
"You're getting better at this."
"It's hard," she admits.
"No one said it was going to be easy."
"Why can't something in my life be easy?!"
"You would get bored."
Andy looks at him, "That is true."
"Don't think about what she said," He says, "She's just angry that she is not loved by everyone, like you are."
"I'm hardly loved by everyone," She says, shaking her head with a smile on her face.
"Name someone."
"The Brazilians."
Kyoya chucked to himself, "touche."
Tamaki came back in, holding cup in one hand and something else in the other. "For you," He says, giving it to Andy.
She takes it, and cautiously takes a sip. "Caramel milkshake!"
Tamaki grins at the two, "Let get to our vacation!"
