OKAY! I got soooo many views and reviews I decided to crank out another chapter for your enjoyment! SO ENJOY! :)
OH...AND REVIEW! (I know you're getting sick of me saying that...but I have to...because I'm Batman!)
*DISCLAIMER* I don't own OHSHC!
I was fine with the Host Club, I was fine with Emily's parents, I'd deal with her brother and his friends, but them? No way. I would not submit myself to being in the same room as my ridiculous Aunt, Uncle, and cousins.
"Just try to be civil to them," I heard someone whisper in my ear. I turned to see Haruhi, I raised my eyebrow at her and she shrugged, "just do it."
Whatever, I'll get through this night with them, I told myself. I shook hands and gave hugs to everyone trying to be civil even to Taylor. Taylor, I sighed, I thought he'd gone back to America.
We all sat around a large dining hall, fortunately I was seated at one end and my family at the very opposite side. At least I wouldn't have to talk to them, but then Taylor was sitting on my left and Kyoya on my right, I could just feel the tension.
As we ate everyone was talking and laughing, I was probably the only one eating in silence. I was still irked by everything and I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn't say something to get me into a fight.
"I'd like to make a toast!" Taylor announced rising from his chair and standing beside me. Everyone was silent and then he continued, "To my beloved fiancee, may she always be surrounded by those who love her," there was cheering and 'here, heres' all around the table, "and as a birthday gift I have decided to attend Ouran Academy, so that we may be together everyday!"
Everyone else cheered, I was petrified. I could see Kyoya wincing as Taylor leaned down to kiss my cheek. I just sat shocked, everything was going to hell and I seemed to be driving the bus.
Following that was dancing, I did like to dance but not with Taylor who hogged me for the majority of the dances. He would step on my toes and fling me about like a rag doll, I would just carry on gracefully and try not to get any broken toes.
I sat down with some tea, I preferred it over coffee as caffeine had a reverse effect on me. I sipped slowly hoping Taylor would ask someone else to dance so I could have a break.
"Might I have this dance?" I looked at the black shoes before me and glanced upwards so that I could see their master.
"Of course, Kyoya," I replied.
The dance was a slow one and it was easy to just talk with out being over heard by anyone. Thankfully Kyoya was a good dancer, I relaxed in his arms.
"Strange party, huh?" he mused.
"Yes, I don't know why Emily thought it would be a good idea to invite her brother and my relatives," I sighed.
"At least no one has gotten into a fight yet, I hear it's common in your family," he smirked.
"It is, but that's because I start them," I said sticking out my tongue, and then I closed my eyes wearily. I opened them quickly with a thought, "Sometimes, when I close my eyes I can picture just you and me."
"Sometimes, when I close my eyes I can't see," he replied.
"You're so mean to me!" I teased.
And then the dance was over and I had to go back to Taylor. How I wished this night would end.
"Hey Cous," I groaned, my elderly cousin and his little brother just picked the worst time to talk to me, literally.
"What do you want, Kaleb?" I asked sitting down.
"Do you have a license to kill?" asked Myles the younger one, he would have been as cute as Honey had he not been a spoiled, pathetic, little brat.
"No, I have a learners permit," I replied sarcastically, why were they bothering me anyway?
"Then you can't mess with us," Kaleb said mischievously.
"You both have such kind eyes!" a girl squealed at the two of them, I assumed she was one of Taylor friends because she had dyed her hair blonde and acted as ditzy as the joke made about them.
Yes, the 'kind' I'd like to poke out, I thought. I let her entertain my two cousins for a while why I escaped to the refreshments table. I couldn't wait for everyone to leave.
"We'll be going then," the last of Taylor's friends were leaving and that just left the Host club and my relatives.
"Did you enjoy your party?" my Uncle asked.
"Yes, thank you," I replied.
"Goodness all those noisy teenagers, I glad most of them left," my Aunt said eyeing my friends peevishly.
"I would ask that you not insult my friends," I countered politely as I could.
"Are you sassing your Aunt?" my Uncle growled, I could tell he was drunk but that made him doubly dangerous.
"Of course not," I replied.
"Of course not what?" he growled.
"Of course not, sir," I sighed. No one was really ready for what happened next.
I felt a hand grab my collar, I looked up to see my Uncle. Great, I thought, he's drunk, he hates me, and he's angry. I tried to pull away from him but his grip was too strong, I felt a small twinge of fear plant itself in my stomach.
"Let Gwyn go," I heard Kyoya growl.
My Uncle ignored him bring his face down so that it was right in front of mine, he sneered at me and then spit in my face. That was the last straw, I outright slapped him on the face. He yelled in surprise and flung me against the wall.
KYOYA'S POV:
He did not just do that. I stood for a moment in shock, watching Gwyn stand up feebly.
She looked as if she were in pain but who wouldn't be if they'd just been thrown into a wall. To my disgust I heard Taylor snigger softly. He thought this was funny?
I turned to see Gwyn squeal angrily as her Uncle threw her into a separate room and locked the door behind. Mori and Honey raced to knock down the door but it was thick and well made for obvious reasons.
He was hurting her, I knew it. He was hurting my girl.
GWEN'S POV:
I stood against the back wall, I didn't want to fight my uncle but I wasn't about to just get beat up for the heck of it. I watched him as he bolted the door. He turned to face me angrily.
"I won't allow that sort of disrespect in my family," he growled.
"I did nothing wrong," I pleaded.
"Shut up, you understand I came here today with my brother's will. He said that if you could take care of yourself by age 16 I'd no longer have to provide for you. Gwyndolyn you have been officially disowned by our family," he smirked.
I almost cried I was so happy, I just started laughing. I couldn't believe this, it was the best birthday gift anyone had ever given me. Of course my uncle commenced to beat the heck out of me but although my head was bleeding and I was sure that I had two or more broken ribs I was content with my situation. I was free of my relatives and their disgusting contempt.
I blocked as much as possible but he was too much in his drunken rage and I found myself lying on the floor crushed and bleeding all over the carpet.
I heard the door swing open and found myself in Kyoya's arms, I don't know what I was thinking. But right there, in front of everyone, I kissed him.
This was my friend's face after this chapter: O.O
