A/N: Hey! First I wanna say I made an edit to my last chapter so read the last paragraph again if you haven't already. Anyway, here it is the chapter you've all been waiting for! But don't think this is the end. The story doesn't end here. So Please Review and Favorite!
"Haruhi! Its your daddy!" The voice half yelled into the phone. I gasped a bit not expecting the loud noise. I relaxed quickly at the sound of my dad's voice. "I just called to make sure you're all settled and that everything's all right." I held in a laugh. With all that had happened I really wasn't settled.
"Yeah, mostly." I told him, trying to block my mind of all the drama.
"Well that's good. Those twins really are good friends to you. Same with the rest of them. Even the idiotic one, Tamaki. They all really care about you. I can tell." I smiled, softly.
"Yeah they all really do." I said my mind drifting to the choice I had made.
"I'm sorry Haruhi, but I have to go. I love you!" He said as he hung up the phone, not waiting for my response.
"I love you too." I said to the dial tone. I sighed and closed the phone. I thought for a moment then stood up. I knew what I had to do. Somehow my dad's words encouraged me to get out of this room and talk to the guys.
I jumped off the bed and walked to the door. My head filled with worries and doubts, but I pushed them away. I paused at the door for a moment before opening it and heading down the hall. I walked quickly to the stairs, and found Yumi at the bottom of them. She gave me a big smile.
"Miss Fujioka, the young masters are waiting for you in the living room. This way." She said as she led me to the door. Outside the door, I froze. I turned to Yumi, who smiled at me encouragingly. I smiled back and turned back toward the door which I opened quickly. Three heads turned in my direction, all looking a mixture of worry and excitement. All the attention made me blush. I slowly started to speak.
"I…um…Can I talk to Hikaru?" I squeaked out. Hikaru stood up quickly, a huge smile across his face. He smirked at Tamaki, who now looked defeated, and walked over to me. I smiled the best I could, my eyes lingering on Tamaki, and followed Hikaru out of the room. Once we had left the room I turned toward him, my mind racing.
"So, there was something you wanted to talk about?" Hikaru said, clearly excited.
"Yeah…Hikaru…" I bowed. "I'm sorry."
Hikaru's POV
My eyes widened.
"W-what?" I stuttered, afraid that I heard her right.
"I'm sorry, Hikaru. I really care about you and you're a really good friend, but I'm not in love with you. Tamaki…he…" I put a hand up stopping her.
"Its ok." She blinked. "You don't have to explain it. I knew that you…I mean we all knew… You have nothing to apologize about." I said. She smiled softly.
"Thanks Hikaru." She surprised me with a hug. I smiled and hugged her back.
I was surprised I was taking rejection so well. The girl I love said she didn't love me and yet…I'm fine. It didn't hurt like I thought it would. Maybe…maybe I was wrong about how I feel.
She released the hug and looked at the door. She turned to me, a hint of blush on her face.
"I'll stay out here." I told her. "Just tell Kaoru to leave and then you can tell him." She nodded quickly, and started for the door. "Just so you know. If he ends up hurting you, I'll kill him." I heard her laugh a little.
"Thank you Hikaru." She said smiling at me, before opening the door and walking in. I walked to a wall and leaned against it. I think I'm alright. I thought. I think I'll be fine.
Haruhi's POV
"Hello?" I said as I walked into the room. Tamaki looked up slowly, giving a sincere, but sad, smile.
"Haruhi what-?" Kaoru stopped abruptly, I smiled at him. "I'll let you two talk."
"Thanks." I said walking past him and sitting on the couch opposite of Tamaki. As soon as Kaoru left, I began.
"Tamaki I-"
"It's okay. I get it." Tamaki started, interrupting me. He looked defeated and sad. "I hope you're happy with Hikaru."
"No I-"
"Really its fine." Even when he was sad he talks too much. I thought. "I'll be fine. I understand why you would pick him. I mean I didn't even fully understand how I felt until today. I know I'm a horrible choice. It's fine. I'm-"
"Shut up!" I yelled, finally getting the blondes attention. He looked at me his eyes wide.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled and looked down at his hands. I sighed.
"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled. You just kept talking and…" I left the sentence hanging, trying to get back on my real purpose. "Tamaki." He looked up at me. "About what you said to me." I started blushing. "I want to say that I…I love you t-" I was cut off by Tamaki's lips on mine. He had leaped from his couch to mine in, what seemed like, a split second. It was all so quick that I barely had time to realize what happened. Tamaki broke apart the kiss and smiled at me. He was now seated next to me on the couch, his arms wrapping me in a hug. Before I would have yelled, but now I felt at ease.
"I love you so much, Haruhi. I'm glad I'm the one you chose." He whispered into my ear.
"There was never a choice."
A/N: Please know this is not the end! More chapters to come! I'll hopefully be able to post more frequently.
