It was late when my dad finally came home. I laid in my bed when I heard him walk past my door, but before he walked all the way past it, I heard his footsteps stop, then he started to walk again towards his office. When I heard his door shut, I got up out of bed and sneaked over to my door. I stood with my hand on the handle, looking down at my bare feet.
My ankle was still wrapped and hurt. I slowly opened my door and peeked out to see the hall dark and empty. I stepped out onto the cold hall in just my night shirt. I slowly walked down the hall, wondering if I should really be doing this. I stopped in front of his office door, getting ready to turn the knob, but I changed my mind and decided not to go through with it.
I turned around and started to walk down the hall until I heard someone behind me.
"Lexi? What are you doing up?" I turned around and saw my dad standing there, his hair a mess. He yawned and almost fell over.
"Dad. . . Are you okay?" I ask him as I walked closer to him. I was starting to really worry about him. When I stood in front of him, he put his hand on his head and almost fell if it wasn't for me standing there. "Dad!" I yelled when I caught him. I was getting ready to call for someone to come help, he stood back up and shook his head.
"No, I'm fine. . . What did you want to talk about?" He ask me, but I shook my head.
"No, it can wait. You need help. I'll go get-"
"I am not going to turn you away when you are coming to me." He told me. I grabbed onto his arm and forced him towards his room.
"Deal, but you have to at least get into bed. . . I don't want to lose both my parents." I whispered that last part. I helped him to his bed no matter how hard it was. "There you go. . ." I said when I sat on the edge after getting him laid down. He smiled at me.
"Thanks, sweetie. . . Now, what did you want?" I looked away from him and looked down at the floor.
"Dad. . . What is the real reason why you sent mom away like you did?" I ask him, not even looking at him. I was starting to wonder if he had fallen asleep because he didn't say anything for a few minuets.
"We knew that she was sick before you turned twelve. . ." He started, but I turned and glared at him, not playing nice anymore.
"Then why would you two fight?! I don't understand why you guys wouldn't tell me!" I yelled, but he kept on speaking.
"Lexi, your mother didn't want to tell you that she was sick until it was real bad. . . I wanted to tell you and that's why we fought. The reason I sent her away is because she refused to get the care that she needed. I wanted you to stay here with me, but when you wanted to go with her, we agreed that she would act as if she just found out that she was sick. When she passed away, she said that you could come back to live with me." He told me.
I stared at him, wide eyed. I didn't know what I should say or do at this point.

I woke up in the morning to the sun in my face. I was in my bed and I didn't want to move. I turned over and stared at my clock. I knew it was the weekend, but I felt like I needed to go to school. When my phone started ringing, it scared me half to death. I grabbed it and answered.
"Hello?" I ask the person on the other side. I was still sleepy, but I kept on listening.
"Lexi?" A familiar voice ask me.
"Yes? Who is this?" I ask as I sat up, staring down at my blankets. The person sighed.
"Finally. . . I was hoping this was the right number." The voice told me. "Oh! This is Kaoru. The whole club wanted to know if you wanted to join us." He ask me.
"How did you even get this number?" I ask, not even answering what he ask me.
"Um. . . Kyouya?" He told me, but it was more like he was asking me. I sighed, thinking it over.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Just walking around and going to stores with Haruhi." He told me. I giggled, thinking about it.
"Sure. . . But, can someone come pick me up?" I ask. I could hear him talking to someone, but I didn't know who. I sat on the edge of my bed, swinging my legs back and forth, waiting for an answer.
"Lexi, you still there?"
"Yep."
"Me and Hikaru haven't left our house yet, so we will come to pick you up, okay?" He ask. I sat there, thinking it over.
"Yeah. . . I'll be ready. Bye." And I hung up. I got up and ran into the closet, trying to figure out what to wear. When I finally made up my mind, I grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom. I got ready and was down stairs within ten minuets. I had chose to wear a pair of dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt. I put on a pair and tennis shoes that were white with pink and black designs on them.
I ran downstairs to the front down, hoping that they weren't there yet. When I opened the door, I didn't see them yet, so I just sat outside and waited for them. When they pulled up, I stood up and climbed in. The twins were sitting next to each other, but Hikaru was looking out the window, ignoring me as I got in. Kaoru smiled at me when I climbed in.
"Hey, Lexi." He said. I gave him a small smile, but I was wondering why Hikaru was acting the way he was. The rest of the way was quiet until we reached the mall. Everyone was waiting for us outside.
"Lex-chan!" Hunny yelled as I got out. He came running over and gave me a huge hug. I smiled down at him and smoothed his soft blonde hair.
"Hi, Hunny." I said as I looked at everyone else.
"Everyone! It is time to go into here and see what it is like to be a commoner!" Tamaki said as he ushered everyone inside. When my phone started to ring, I stopped and answered it.
"Hello?" I answered with a smile as I watch the 'King' moving everyone in.
"Lexi. . . Where are you?" I heard Yabu's voice ask me. She sounded worried and panicked.
"I'm with my friends from school. . . Why? What's wrong?" I ask. The others could tell something was wrong, so they waited for me.
"Your father is on his way to the hospital." Yabu told me.
