Chapter Four:
I sat on the sofa, confused, hurt, like a part of me had been ripped away and it was my entire fault. After a few seconds, I stood and chased him from the room. I ran down the corridor and down the stairs. I ran into the entry hall of the school and out the front door. I stood for a second at the top of the stairs, and decided that he probably hadn't chosen a direction, just ran. So I ran forward, through the gates when I heard something. It sounded like Kaoru's voice. I turned and looked behind me. I had been wrong; Tamaki, Mori and Kyouya had run after me.
I decided to wait for a few moments; Kyouya would have almost certainly called a car. I'm certain that Kaoru would have just run straight. No stopping. Not for a while, at least. I'm sure that I might be able to catch up in a car.
Kyouya and Tamaki stopped just short of me. Mori stood just behind me and looked out towards the direction I was certain Kaoru had gone.
"What did you shout?" I asked in anyone's general direction. Tamaki stood forward and opened his mouth. But before saying anything, he backed away. He seemed frightened.
"Tamaki said to stop and re-think what you're doing…" Kyouya said coolly. "Kaoru ran away for a reason. He wants to be alone at the moment, so let him go. He will come back when he feels it is right."
"What? No! I need to go and speak to him, I need to tell him that I'm sorry," I turned back to the road and tried to run. Mori grabbed me and held me before I managed to get a few steps away. I struggled, trying to break free, but Mori was bigger and stronger than I was. Perhaps Kaoru and I should have taken karate classes. However, I had been afraid for Kaoru that he might get hurt. I mentally chastised myself for making an idiotic mistake.
After a few moments of struggle, Mori seems to sense a weakness and let's me go. I stand still for a few moments, trying to figure out what to do, but my legs buckle beneath my and I unintentionally kneel. I put my hands to my face and feel warm tears streaming down.

Authoress notes: Many apologies for another short chapter. I've been sick recently and my computer died. But I still need to update, so I wrote this quickly. Many apologies. I hope to have a new (longer) chapter soon.
