She Don't Tell Me To

Haruka drove herself and Gwendalyn to the mall. The car ride there was quiet and uneventful. They parked the car and walked into the mall. They walked through the mall looking through the store windows before finally stopping at Tiffany's.

"Mom, why are we at a jewelry store?" Gwendalyn asked.

"Because I'm picking up an engagement ring." Haruka proudly stated.

"Does th.."

"Gwen, would you be…" Haruka paused. "Would it be all right with you if I asked Michiru to marry me?"

"Of course it would." Gwendalyn happily stated.

"Good."

Haruka and her daughter walked into Tiffany's. Within ten minutes Haruka had the two karat diamond ring. Then the two of them wondered the mall before finally going home.

When they got to the car, Haruka asked, "Gwen what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"But you've been really quiet since we picked up the ring." Haruka said as she got in the car. "Do you not want me to marry Michiru?"

"Mom…I…"

"Forget it. We have to get home." Haruka said. She was glad that she had on sunglasses because her daughter couldn't see the tears in her eyes.

When they got home, Haruka went inside to the kitchen to start getting the dinner ready. She couldn't face her daughter right now.

"Mom?" Gwendalyn said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Go away Gwen." Haruka said.

"F..fine!" Gwendalyn yelled as she ran out of the room.

Haruka closed the refrigerator door and said, "How in the hell could I have said that to my own daughter?"

Haruka walked out of the kitchen and walked upstairs to her daughter's room. She pushed the door opened to see Gwendalyn lying on her bed crying. "Gwen, can I come in?"

"No!"

"But…please? I think that if we talked that it might help."

Gwendalyn sat up and said, "Why talk to you! You don't listen! Michiru's coming home and all I wanna do is go to Makoto's! Because at least there I know that they love me!"

Haruka was speechless. She didn't know what to say, but after a few moments she said, "Gwen, I'm talking and listening now. I thought that you would be happy about this."

"I'm not!" Gwendalyn barked.

Haruka walked into the room and said, "I realize that. I realize that this is my fault has much as it is yours…." The tears in Haruka's eyes started to fall.

"Mom?" Gwen said as she got off of her bed and walked until she was in front of her mother and then she whispered, "I'm sorry. I don't feel that yo.."

Haruka grabbed her daughter and pulled her into a hug. "Gwen, I love you more then anything in the world."

"I know." Gwendalyn laughed. "Mom, you're always hanging around with Michiru and I just don't feel that I belong here."

"You do, Gwen." Haruka said as she kneeled down to her daughter's height. "You do. I just don't think that you realize how much you've helped me."

"I have?" Gwendalyn asked. She was truly surprised.

When I wake with her head on my shoulder,

An' I know I've got to love her

Until my life is through,

'Cause she don't tell me to

"Yep, you did." Haruka said as she picked her daughter up and sat down on the bed. "Before you came along, I was just a racer with nothing to worry about. Then you happened, and all I had to rely on for months was that you were going to be my daughter and …"

"And that I would be able to have whatever I wanted?"

"Well, maybe that, but I knew that you were going to help me realize that I had everything to lose if I didn't make a contract or win a race or a million other things."

"But now we have Michiru and w…"

Haruka looked at the clock and said, "It's 3:16 p.m. and that means that Michiru is on her way here…" She watched her daughter up off of her lap. "Gwen where are you going?"

"To clean really fast."

Haruka laughed and followed her daughter down the stairs to clean. She was happy that they got everything out that was bothering them. Now all Haruka was looking forward to was having dinner with her two most favorite girls, even if that meant ordering pizza.

Thanks to everyone who said to update because I probably would have put this chapter off until next week. Send in your guess for who was at Makoto's apartment. That is from the last chapter. I'm just curious to see how many people actually know who it is. I can tell you that one person was right. Anywho….. Let me know what you guys thought of this chapter. It feels a bit rushed, but I think it turned out ok. Let me know! Bye!
