On the bridge Tamaki who had been crying, was completely oblivious to the speeding sports car coming down the road towards him.
He looked up just in time to have the light shine in his eyes like the poor small animal sitting in the middle of the road. He had just enough time to say, "Haruhi…"
All too suddenly he was hit by the car. He flew backwards along the bridge.
The driver had had a few too many to drink; and was only worried about himself. He did not even call an ambulance.
A short time later some person who saw Tamaki bleeding at the edge of the road, phoned an ambulance but did not stay to have the paramedics arrive.
In the hospital Haruhi was drifting in and out of consciousness surrounded by he twins, Mori and Honey. Kyouya was in the corridor talking to the doctor.
"Haru-chan, wake up… please?" Honey said his voice wavering as his eyes filled with tears.
"Honey-senpai, don't cry. Haruhi will be fine," Hikaru said.
"She is strong something like this won't stop her," Koaru said.
Both of the Hitachiin twins said this confidently yet they both had their doubts. She might be strong but still she had a fierce battle ahead of her. First she had to regain consciousness, and then she had to get rid of any infections that she might have picked up during her time in the hospital.
Outside the private room that had been set up for Haruhi; Kyouya was talking to the doctor.
"What are her chances?"
"She has a high risk that she will fall into a coma. It all depends on how her body tries to heal itself."
"Isn't there anything you can do to stop this happening?" He asked with a commanding force that made the doctor gulp with nervousness.
"We are doing the utmost that we can possibly do…"
The doctor was interrupted by a trainee nurse running into him. Her blonde hair was a mess and she was panting for breath – having just run through the whole hospital looking for them. She moved her glasses so that they sat on her nose properly then started,
"Kyouya…..-sama……I was told to…tell you……"
"Just spit it out already!" He shouted at the nurse, interrupting her.
She continued "I was told to tell you that…'Suou Tamaki has just been admitted to the hospital. Having been subject to a hit and run accident and is about to go immediately into emergency surgery as he is unlikely to live if not seen to right away. He has a serious head wound',"
"What?!" He shouted at the nurse.
Damn that Tamaki! He's meant to be in France! First he lets this happen to Haruhi and now he winds up in here himself! Kyouya thought angrily, and then reigning in his anger, he told the nurse, "Ok, proceed as you were."
Inside the hospital room everyone had heard Kyouya shout and was worried that it was something about Haruhi. So each person was about to rush out the door when Kyouya strode in.
He didn't even bother to ask why they were all getting ready to go out of the door but simply said, "Tamaki s in this hospital. At this moment he is probably going under aesthetic to have a serious operation. He got himself into a car accident."

(IN Haruhi's mind…………)
"Tamaki…Tamaki where are you?" Haruhi cried out into the darkness.
There is a flash of lightning followed quickly by a crash of thunder – signalling that the storm was close: far too close for comfort.
'I dropped my glasses long ago, I wonder where they are? ...I feel so cold what is this?' she thought.
Even though it was pitch black it seemed to get darker as Haruhi realised that Tamaki wasn't there and she had been left to face her fear on her own once more. It just seemed to be overwhelming her. Nothing she seemed to do protected her in anyway.
She whispered out into the darkness, "He didn't come…"
