Me: I've been at camp for a whole week.
Karson27: How did that go, people phobe?
Me: I'm now reclusive for the next week.
Karson27: That's nothing new.
PLEASE REVIEW!
It had been three weeks since Marx and I had come back to Japan. For about a week, Tailyr was pretty much unconscious. It was really touch and go and she was transferred to ICU for a little bit. After a week, she was moved back to the normal room. After that, she made rapid progress.
Finally, after two and a half months of staying in the hospital, Tailyr was released. She was still weak and slightly sick but the doctors said that as long as she took her medication and her fever didn't spike again, she was going to be just fine.
Mori-sempai carried her into the headmaster's house and into her room. He laid her in the bed carefully. She seemed so breakable now. She'd lost nearly forty pounds during her sickness because she'd been too weak to eat.
"Is there anything that I can get for you?" one of the maids asked.
"No thanks," I said politely.
She bowed and left.
"I'm so glad your home, Tai-chan!" Honey said happily, leaning on the edge of her bed. "When you get better all the way will you eat cake with me?"
Tailyr smiled weakly. "Of course Honey."
"Okay guys. We saw her come in," Lily said. "Now it's time to go. She needs her rest so she can get better."
"Aw," Kaoru whined.
"But Lily," Hikaru said hugging her. "Can we stay just a little longer?"
"Daddy needs to be near his daughter on this important day," Tamaki cried dramatically, his eyes seeming to double in size.
Lily sighed and grabbed Tamaki and Kaoru by the shirt and Hikaru by the ear. "No. We have to go. Now. I'm not repeating myself," she warned them. "Bye Tailyr. We'll be by tomorrow."
"Bye guys." She smiled and they left.
Kyoya sighed and we walked out together. I shut her door behind me with a soft click and looked up at him. He kissed my head.
"I'll be here tomorrow. Tell Tailyr-sempai that I'm glad she's getting better. I'm going home to sleep."
"Good. You need it. You look a little rough. Not as rough as Mori-sempai and Honey-sempai but you get the idea," I said shrugging a little. "I'll see you tomorrow."
He left and I went back into Tailyr's room.
"Okay Honey-sempai. Mori-sempai. You guys have to leave. You all need rest. You look like you were dragged behind a truck for thirty miles," I said. "Home. Sleep. Now."
Mori-sempai kissed Tailyr and left with Honey-sempai, who was already dragging his feet. They were probably just exhausted all over, both mentally and physically. I was glad that the whole thing was over.
Marx and I sat on the end of the bed.
"So, if you need anything, scream for thirty seconds straight as loud as you can," Marx teased, knowing there was no way that Tailyr could do that.
She laughed and coughed a little. It wasn't as throaty and rough as it had been. It was drying up and she was going longer without coughing. Thankfully, there wasn't any blood either. I'd seen enough of Tailyr's blood to last me a life time. "Thanks guys. For everything."
She laid back and went to sleep.
-Tailyr-
I never thought that my bed would feel so good or be so welcoming. I was so happy to be out of the hospital. Nothing was better than to not smell that smell or hear the sounds. Mostly, I was just glad that I was getting better.
"Here you go," Lily said holding out a teaspoon with some dark gooey liquid on it. It tasted like rotten lemons but I had to take it or I was going to have to go back to the hospital.
I took it quickly, trying to taste it as little as possible. My face contorted into a look of a disgust and Marx laughed. Lily gave me a glass of water. I drank it all down in one gulp. I took the rest of my medication like a good little kid.
"So, how much longer are you guys going to stay here?" I asked Marx and Karsyn. "You've missed like three weeks of school."
"Oh, didn't we tell you?" Karsyn asked. "We're staying here for the rest of the year. The headmaster's going to help us make up the missed work so Marx can graduate on time."
I grinned. "That's awesome!" I said happily. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"You were kind of incoherent for a while there," she reminded me. "We could've told you for all you know and you were just too doped up to remember."
"Touche home slice. Touche," I laughed. IT was great to laugh without choking on my own blood.
"The doctors said that it'll be awhile before you're bouncing around like you used to," Marx said. "Maybe it'll be quiet around here for a while."
"Meaner," I grumbled. "I'll bounce back no problem. No worries."
It wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. By the end of the day, I'd napped twice and I was still tired. My whole body felt like jello but I was trying to tough it out. Karsyn sent everyone home early so I could rest better, claiming that the excitement wasn't good me.
"I've been so bored lately," I whined to Karsyn. It was just us for the night. Marx had run off with the twins for a guys night or whatever. "I missed you guys though."
"Wow. I almost heard emotion in that just now," she teased. "I think the world just stood still for a moment there."
I stuck my tongue out at her. There was a knock on the door and one of the maids pushed the door open. It was Elise, a French maid. The headmaster had a thing for French girls, obviously. I'd really taken to all the maids and butlers and also had a fascination with the French language. They'd been kind enough to teach me a little and the headmaster and Tamaki had helped me too.
"Mlle Tailyr, le proviseur souhaite vous voir," she said, her tone formal and polite.
"Oui," I said back. "Dites-lue que je serai la dans un instant."
"Est-il autre chose que je peux faire?"
"Non merci. C'est tout."
"Oui Mlle Tailyr. Au revior." She bowed and left.
I looked back at Karsyn, who was staring at me mystified. "What?" I asked innocently.
"How in the bloody hell did you do that?" she asked.
"Do what?"
"You spoke French! You didn't speak French when I left! When did you learn to do that?"
"I told you I got bored," I said sounding a little bored. I grinned devilishly. "A bunch of the maids and butlers speak French and the headmaster and Tamaki do too. I had nothing better to do with my time. Honey and Takeshi even learned a little. I found out that I'm quite good at languages."
She sighed. "I already knew that. You learned Japanese in no time. That's like the only talent you have."
"Gee thanks. Where was I without your compliments?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Egotistical and big headed."
"And there it goes," I said, reaching into the air dramatically. "Come back Shane!"
We laughed like idiots. Which we were.
"So, what did she say anyway?" Karsyn asked.
"Oh, right. I've got to go see the headmaster. I'll be right back," I said getting up.
"Okay. See ya."
"Au revoir." I went to the headmaster's office. Since Marx and Karsyn had left, the headmaster and I had become kind of close, I guess you could say. We tried to have dinner once a week in his office, he came by everyday while I was in the hospital and told me goodnight every night before he went to bed. He helped me with my homework and did stuff that my real parents never did.
It wasn't far to his office from my room, which was great because even though it was a short walk, I was winded almost instantly. I pushed the door open slowly.
"Hello Tailyr. Come in. Sit down," he said standing and coming to my side. "You look a little winded. Sit. Sit."
He guided me to the chair in front of his desk and helped me sit. He returned to his seat.
"You're probably aware that I called you here for a reason, Tailyr."
"Yes Headmaster."
"I just want to make sure that you're alright and that you're okay with me accepting Karsyn and Marx back in Ouran Academy."
"Of course I am," I said. "I'm so happy that you let them come back and I feel perfectly fine. As long as I remember to take my medication and let's face it, no one will let me forget."
The headmaster laughed. "That is true. If you need anything, feel free to ask but you already know that. Just send a maid or someone to me. I won't ask you to walk that distance until you're better and back to your old self Tailyr." he smiled. "Now, you look exhausted. Let me walk you back to your room."
He escorted me back, told me and Karsyn good night and left. I laid on my bed.
"Well, I guess you and the headmaster are friends."
"Had nothing better to do."
She laughed and laid next to me. It kind of reminded me of the first night that we spent in the mansion. I couldn't sleep on my own. It seemed so far away and there was so much that happened since then. Most of it was bad but, it seemed like things were finally looking up for me.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I felt like jabbing my own eyes out. Summer is a lazy time for me. School starts in a week and some days so I'll get some more pep in my step. Hopefully. So, the conversation between Tailyr and the maid went like this, in English:
"Miss tailyr, the headmaster would like to see you."
"Yes. Tell him I'll be there in a moment."
"Is there anything else I can do?
"No thank you. That''s all."
"Yes Miss Tailyr. Goodbye."
Thank you Google Translate for the French. I kinda wish I spoke French. The rest of this is is going to be mostly funny and sweet. A little drama and you get the winding down of the Ouran Boys Took Over My School story! Thank you for reading and keep an eye out for the rest!
