I do not own Ouran Highschool Host Club.
Ch.16
When Haruhi opened her eyes, she was moving very fast or at least thought she was. She was wrapped tightly in a white blanket, but was still freezing. She faintly heard sirens and everything was white and blurry. Before she could begin processing anything, she passed out again. The second time she woke up someone was gently shaking her. A bright white light was shining in her eyes. The man holding the light was talking to her, but she couldn't understand him. She felt something on her face. Glancing down, she noticed that it was an oxygen mask. She tried to take a breath herself, but it hurt a lot. Someone was calling her name. Slowly, all sounds and sights became clearer. She was on a gurny being raced into a hospital. She could hear sirens and many people talking. Two doctors in blue scrubs ran next to her while the paramedics rolled the gurny. Someone was still calling her name.
"Haruhi! I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do!" Tamaki was still standing in the entrance. Two people were trying to restrain him. After a while, he sank to his knees. The other host members were no where to be seen. She looked up at one of the doctors.
He glanced down at her,"You're okay now. You're alive. Stay with us Haruhi."
She tried to ask about her dad, but it came out as a croak/whisper.
"Don't try to talk. We need to take a look at your airways."
Soon she was wheeled into a room. The straps around her were unbuckled and someone lifted her onto the bed. Part of the blanket fell away and she was glad that she was still wearing her swimsuit. The second ahe was taken from the gurny and put on the bed she got a splitting headache. She couldn't help but scream. Tears ran down her cheeks. A doctor entered the small room and began inspecting her. Everytime she began to nod off, she was abruptly woken up.
"You have a serious concussion and you can't fall asleep, not yet. Come on Haruhi. You can stay awake just a little longer."
Something was placed in her nose and the tubs went around the back of her head. The mask was removed and a tube like thing was stuck down her throat. The pain was unbearable and she gagged. It was quickly removed and she leaned over the bed to throw up. Luckily a bucket was waiting for her. Then she was taken for x-rays and scans.
The next morning, Haruhi lay exhausted in the bed. That night, she had been repeatedly awakened by nurses because of her concussion, but a least the vomiting had stopped. She had been put in the ICU, but then she was moved to the regular floor as the sun rose. She had barely gotten any sleep and was not ready for the day. Just as she was drifting off again. Ranka ran into the room. He practically fell over her on the bed and showered her with hugs and kisses.
"Haruhi! Oh my baby girl! What happened? Haruhi! Oh my god. I was so worried! I didn't know what happened. It got dark. You didn't come home... No phone number...mthose boys!... Oh I'm going to kill them!"
When she spoke, it was a whisper, but it was enough though," Dad, it's okay. I'm fine."
He held her at arms length and looked her over," You are not okay. You drowned. I heard from a doctor that you were pronounced dead at the scene, but someone revived you. You were in the ICU just last night. No, this is not okay!"
She noticed that his eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles around them. He was still wearing half of his makeup, which was a little smeared, and he hadn't shaved. His hair was a frizzy mess and the dress he was wearing looked like it was made of wrinkles. She would have laughed if the situation had been funny, but he was clearly worried.
"I'll be fine Dad. The doctors said I can leave either tonight or in the morning. Do you know where my friends are?"
"You friends! They're the ones who got you into this mess! They knew you couldn't swim but..."
"Dad! They didn't know I couldn't swim. I didn't tell them. They were so excited and I didn't want to ruin their fun."
Haruhi began coughed and it took a moment for it to stop.
"Do you know how I found out where you were?" He didn't wait for a reply," I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I didn't have your friends' numbers so I went down to the school for records. It was hell trying to get those. Eventually, I did. I had to go to their house and speak to one of the kid's parents. They said you were at the Hitachiin private beach. I then drove out to speak to the Hitachiins. They gave me directions to the beach. When I got there it was dark and a couple of police officers were leaving. I stopped them to ask about you kids and they said that a little girl had drowned and was being taken to a hospital. I hoped to god that it wasn't you and went back home to check. You weren't there. I called every hospital looking for you and no one had seen you or heard of you. I then proceeded to drive to every hospital in the city looking for you and here I am."
"I'm so sorry Dad, but please don't be mad at the guys. I'm pretty sure Mori saved my life."
"I'm not mad, just tired and scared. I thought my baby girl, you, had died. I just couldn't lose you too." It was then that he broke down.
Haruhi leaned forward as best she could and hugged him.
"You will never lose me dad."
As they were pulling away all of the Host club walked in.
