This might be the last chapter for a while but not by choice because my computer needs to get fixed because my mum accidentally kicked my laptop down the stairs. Miraculously, it still works but the hinge is busted completely and it nearly ripped a wire that does erm... something important even if I don't know exactly what that important thing is.

The plane finally landed, I'm really confused so I don't know what time it is but the sky tells me it's just about dawn, or is that dusk? I was walking out of the airport into a relatively warm spring morning or... evening? I'd left my P.A to get my suitcases and bring them to the hotel. I wanted to go to the hospital. I stopped for a moment. What hospital was Haruhi in? I picked my phone up and called Kyouya, maybe I should have listened to him properly when he called.

I dialled his number and it rang for what seemed like a century. I was about to give up, assuming Kyouya didn't have his phone... which he's never done. There was a click then a groggy voice growled at me scarily down the phone.

'Do you know what time it is you moron?' Kyouya hissed.

'No...'

'It's five thirty in the morning and I've had an hours sleep. What the hell do you want?'

I whimpered but decided I needed to be strong for Haruhi.

'Ah... I've just come out of the airport. What hospital is Haruhi in?'

'It doesn't matter at the moment, what hospital is going to let you visit a patient at this time?' Kyouya sighed, 'come to my house for now and we can go at nine, that's the earliest they'll let even me in.'

I said a quick thanks and goodbye before running off to find my car.

That was before I realised I didn't have a car, thank you again grandmother for that. Then I realised I also didn't have my wallet. Oh well, walking wouldn't be too bad, Kyouya lived nearby anyway. I set out, my pace started to quicken though after the temperature dropped and the clouds started to look a little greyer and a little less white. I was about half-way to Kyouya's when the clouds spewed the water they held upon me. It just caused me to run faster and I laughed at the déjà vu feeling I got. People walking past were looking at me strangely but anyway, on with the memory!

I was my idea for the host club trip, well, they were always my ideas. I decided it would be a good opportunity for family bonding if we went camping and for once Haruhi looked quite happy with the idea. She actually smiled! It made me so happy that I'd got something right.

That weekend we went by her house to pick her up, she was dressing in girlish clothes (for her anyway) because we weren't hosting on this trip. She was Capri's that were denim with a peach rim around the bottom and a sleeveless peach colour top with a larger turquoise one on top. She had a pair of brown sunglasses on her head as it was a sunny day. She looked cute, as usual. There was random gossip on the way to the campsite, usually we would have a chauffeur but this time Mori-senpai was driving, to save the driver the trouble of dropping us off then driving all the way back.

When we got to the campsite we set up our tents or more Haruhi showed us how, we still couldn't do it so she and Mori-senpai ended up putting them up. Tents, even the big ones we bought, are awful small. I couldn't even stand up! But it was all part of the commoner experience before I went to France; it was my last weekend with all of my best friends. I knew I'd miss them.

Louder, louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak, I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

Later that day Haruhi asked me to help her collect firewood. As was happening to me know, the sky had darkened but we didn't notice. She was explaining to me how the damp wood I had collected wouldn't work when we made a fire. I thought I heard a shout but Haruhi didn't seem to notice so I ignored it. We collected a few more sticks, Haruhi found them and I carried them.

'-hi! T...ak.! !'

I definitely heard something that time. Haruhi heard it too. She tapped my shoulder and pointed at the sky. The huge grey clouds told us exactly what we needed to know. It was going to rain, hard.

'Quick, pass me some of the sticks and we'll see if we can get them in the tent before it rains,' Haruhi grabbed some of the wood out of my hands and started running up the hill out of the woods and into the open field we had our huge tent set up in. We were just into the field when there was a huge groan and bucket loads of water plunged to the ground, soaking us instantly.

Haruhi dropped her sticks, 'there's no point now they're wet,' she yelled over the roar of the rain,' she kept running but I soon over took her. I grabbed her had to tug her along then slipped into a puddle, dragging her with me.

We both sat in stunned silence, the muddy puddle soaking into our already sopping wet clothes; we looked at each other and laughed. I stopped laughing and Haruhi just smiled at me.

'Haruhi,' I choked sadly, 'I... I'm,'

Haruhi stopped smiling and her eyes seemed to dim a bit she opened her mouth but closed it again then she stood up silently and pulled me up.

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbyes

I nearly do

Exactly in a week's time from then I was standing in the airport the last person I saw was Haruhi with her hands pressed to the window and it must have been the glass reflecting but I swear she was crying. We'd stood staring at each other for a long time but I had to turn away as the hard lump got stuck in my throat and my eyes started to itch.

~.~.~.~

There was a buzz in my pocket that brought me back to reality. It was my phone. I pulled it out of my soaking pocket.

'Baka, what the hell are you doing outside my gate in the rain? The hospital called; if you want to see Haruhi I'm afraid we don't have much time. Get your ass in the car,' the window of the car that had pulled up next to me rolled down. There was my old friend sitting in the seat he was calling another number, 'I'm telling the others about Haruhi's condition,' he told me as I clambered into the car.

'Is she...?' I couldn't bring myself to say the word.

'The cancer is terminal,' Kyouya confirmed, not wanting to say the word either his voice shook, Kyouya, the strongest person I've ever know, was distressed, 'they couldn't remove the cancerous tumour before it spread then it was too late,' he ran is hand through his hair then removed his glasses and moaned, 'I should have seen this sooner.'

I didn't reply, I just sank back into the seat, dumbstruck. I thought she was going to get better, she's not dying. I refuse to believe that.

What if I didn't get there in time?

What if she was already gone?

I'm never going to see her again.

The thought tore me apart inside.

OK, angst stuff here. It won't just be chapter upon chapter of memories, there will be some actual story. There isn't much so left for me to use in my story I hope you like whatever there is left of it and thanks to those people who have reviewed *hands cookies to those wonderful people*

Is it just me or is everyone having trouble uploading documents? I deleted something I had already uploaded then used copy and paste to get up this chapter ^^ Fanfiction seems to have a lot of problems ;_;
