His Cinderella

MoriXHahuri

Chapter 3

Mori POV

I walked home in silence, scared-not only of my father- but of seeing Haruhi tomorrow. I opened the door and my dad was waiting at the door. "Where were you, boy?" he growled "and don't you dare lie to me!" He was drunken of course..

"I was with…a girl, Dad…" I sighed. I knew I'd only get hit if I lied. I learned that the hard way. "Ooohhh…Takashi finally picked himself up a little whore! Congrats…" He grinned darkly.

I clenched my fists. 'Don't do it Mori…' I thought 'You know it's the alcohol' I walked towards the stairs but he grabbed me by the back of my shirt. "Hell no. You stay here till I'm done with you. Good for nothin' kid…" I tried to pull away but he grabbed me and turned me around.

"You heard me boy!" he screamed and hit me. 'Damnit' I thought 'I gotta get out of here.' I managed to pull away and run upstairs. Waiting till I heard his retreating footsteps, I slowly went back downstairs. I snuck out the door and started walking. My mind drifted to the kiss. Her sweet lips like candy…

"Mori, stop it." I commanded myself. She was so pretty though…

~3 Hours Later~

I was sneaking back into the house at midnight…Ugh, School tomorrow…

~School: Host Club: The Next Day~

I walked into Host Club with a lump building in my throat. Haruhi was never going to talk to me again and it broke my heart. Wow I sounded like Tamaki…

I turned around quickly when I heard the voice. Soft like velvet, quiet as a mouse. "Takashi…? Can we talk?"
