Hearts pounded as the sound of a gunshot echoed throughout the gym. Many students screamed again and again fearing who got shot if anyone had got shot. The light flickered back on and immediately a cry of pain escaped from someone's lips. Everyone looked over to see Derek holding his hand, the gun skidding across the floor. Hunny and Mori stood in front of him, their eyes clouded with dark and anger. Haruhi stared at the three boys who stood before her, afraid to find out who got shot. She was shaking as he gaze started to search for a figure on the floor and she found it soon. "T-Tamaki-senpai!" she cried as she saw him on his back his hands clutching his chest. Immediately students began crying and screaming as a pool of blood began to grow right before their eyes. Kyoya had already pulled out his cell phone and was calling an ambulance then the police. Hunny and Mori stayed close to Derek and kept watch over him as they waited for the medics. Haruhi knelt down beside Tamaki, shaking with eyes wide in fear. She didn't know what to do. All she could do was stare at the sight.
The group sat in the waiting room, scared and impatient. Haruhi had said nothing the whole time and just stared at the floor by her feet. She had never been in this kind of situation before. She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Kyoya staring down at her. "Don't worry. Tamaki's strong. He'll get through this." He said. Haruhi only stared at him. She had never thought Kyoya would try to reassure her. "But…" she tried to start a reply but she just couldn't finish it. "As I said, Tamaki's strong. So don't worry." He said before walking away and taking a seat a couple of chairs away from her. Worry lined his face very lightly. She could tell how hard he was trying to hide his worry. A small but sad smile reached her lips. "Are you Tamaki Souh's friends?" asked a man in a white coat. They immediately stood up and nodded, worry lining their faces. "You may visit but visiting hours will be over soon. So try and hurry." He said before walking away. The five friends rushed down the hallway towards Tamaki's room. Haruhi's face lined with worry. What would she say to him?
Tamaki lay in a bed by a window, his eyes glazed over the slightest bit. "Milord?" asked Koaru as he looked at Tamaki. Tamaki's eyes lit up at the sound of his voice. "What are you guys doing here?" he asked as he slowly sat up so he look at them better. "We were worried about you Milord." Hikaru said as the group made their way to Tamaki's side. Tamaki said nothing in reply. He only stared at the sheets that covered him. After a couple of minutes Tamaki finally spoke up. "May I speak to Haruhi alone for a couple of minutes?" he asked, his hair covering his eyes from his friend's view. They nodded and left the two alone in the room. After a moment of silence, Tamaki opened his mouth to speak but Haruhi beat him to it. "Tamaki-senpai, I'm sorry you got mixed up in this mess. It's all my fault. If I had done something, ANYTHING, to make him think I had done what he wanted then you wouldn't have gotten shot. I-I'm sorry about all of this." She said as she sat down and buried her face in her hands. (I know it seems out of character for her.) Tamaki stared at her for a moment before a sincere and amused smile crossed his face. "It's not your fault. I'm the one who got involved with your friendship with Derek. Besides…you don't need to do anything he tells you. You didn't know he would do anything like this. So none of this is your fault. Don't blame yourself." He said as he placed a hand on her back and winced from the pain from his wound. She looked at him with tears stinging the corners of her eyes. A surprised look passed on his face from this before he smiled a reassuring smile. She shook her head rid of these unshed tears and looked at him. "Tamaki-senpai, why did you ask to talk to me alone?" she asked as she looked at the ground. He didn't answer for a moment and finally she looked at him. "Remember that conversation we had that Hikaru and Kaoru interrupted? Well, that person that I was talking about…..was you. Haruhi, I love you." He said as he stared at the bed and waited for a reply. Haruhi was speechless. She didn't know what to say. Finally, she opened her mouth to speak.
I'm back! Whoot! Did you enjoy the cliffhanger? Well, tell me what you think.
