I awoke from my sleep and got dressed. I headed down to the kitchen to meet Cat there. "How did you sleep?" I asked her.
"Fine. I didn't have any nightmares." She told me. 'This has been the first time in a while that she hasn't had a nightmare.' I thought.
"So how do you like your uniform?" Cat asked as I returned back to reality.
"It's ok. What about your uniform?" I asked her.
"It's fine." She told me. Then we started to eat our breakfast. Once we were done we headed off to school. "Bye mom! Bye dad!" We yelled in unison. We then walked outside and got into the limo. Dan, our driver, dropped us off at Ouran. Cat and I then parted our ways "I'll pick you up after." I yelled to her. I then went to classroom and told the teacher that I was new.
"Okay class this is Roxanne Washington. She is our new student so everyone please be kind to her on her first day." The teacher said. He seated me in front of Haruhi. Class was an entire bore. I still listened to the lesson. Once class was over I was walking with Haruhi, Hikaru and Kaoru.
"So Rexi how do..." Hikaru started "Know Haruhi?" As Kaoru finished. I looked at Haruhi and smiled.
"We are old friends. We became friends in elementry school and then I moved to America with my newborn sister. We moved back after middle school and now I'm here talking to you." I told them.
"You and your sister look like Haruhi..." Kapru said "Are you guys related?" Hikaru added.
"No we aren't relatedat all." I told them. We then arrived at our next class. Soon the rest of the day went by like there was no tomorrow.
I went to go get Cat at the middle school. "How was your first day?" I asked her as we were on our way to unused music room three. "It went well. I made some new was yours?" Cat asked me.
"It was fine." I told her.
~Meanwhile~
"You mean? Haruhi, Rexi and Cat are related?" Tamaki questioned.
"Yes. Rexi's real name is Anastasia and Cat's is Isabella." Kyoya told him.
"So Rex-chan and Cat-chan are hiding from Rex-chan's father?" Honey asked.
"Yes that is right Honey Senpai. Haruhi's mother was the sister of Anastasia's mother, Zelda and Isabella's mother, Rita. There is no information on Zelda Fey. I believe that she went into hiding too." Kyoya explained.
"So did they" "change their appearance?" Kaoru and Hikaru asked.
"Yes they did. Anastasia was a brunnette with curly hair and green eyes and Isabella was a blond with curly hair also and blue eyes. Anastasia has a youtube channel. We can watch her videos of her dancing. Her recent uploads has two versions of Haven't met you yet, one of her last day at her dance class and one tat was redone like the music video. She has many videos of her and the dance class she is in of them fooling around. Isabella was also in this dance class." Kyoya explained.
"You think we can" "watch these videos?" Kaoru and Hikaru said.
"I don't see why not." Kyoya said.
"I don't think Anastasia and Isabella would appreciate us watching these videos." Haruhi said. The boys didn't listen and started to watch the video. Haruhi stood behind them watching.

I then opened the doors and saw that the group was huddled around a computer. I could here Haven't met you yet. "You think they found out?" Cat whispered to me.
"I hope not but they'll figure it out because the girls in the video look like us." I whispered back. We then went up to the group. "Hey guys what are you guys looking at?" I asked them.
"I must say you are a fantastic dancer." Kyoya told me. 'They foudn out.' I thought.
"How did you find out?" I asked as the group turned to me.
"I didn't tell them anything." Haruhi told me.
"I know Haruhi." I told her. Then I looked at the rest of the group.
"I did some research." Kyoya told me.
"That information is top secret. How could you have gotten that information?" I asked him.
"The Ootori family have helped the leader of the FBI in catching criminals for years." Kyoya told us.
"You must-" I was cut off by Cat dropping to the ground and crying.
"You can't tell anybody! I don't want to die! Please I'll do anything." Cat pleaded.
"Who said that we were going to tell anyone?" Kyoya asked. Cat looked up and wiped away her tears. She went and hugged Kyoya.
"Thank you Kyoya Senpai." She told him. She them let go. "You must call us by our cover up names or Peter will find us." I told them.
I then heard the start of remeber me this way. I made my way to the computer to see me at the age of five and my mom dancing to the song. Once the song was over a clip came on.
~Dialogue in clip~
"Mommy what wish are you going to make for me?" I asked her.
"Well I wish for you to find love, happiness and to be around people who care about you." She told me.
"But I've found it with you. I never want to leave you." I told her.
"Annie in time you will have to go to college and leave. I will also die of old age but I will always be by your side." She told me.
"Can you promise me something mommy?" I asked her.
"Yes Annie darling." She told me.
"Even when you die will you always be behind my shoulder watching me in all I do?" I asked her.
"Yes. I will always be watching you even when I'm long gone. I'll be your gaurdian angel." She told me. I gave her a hug and she gave me a kiss on the cheek.
~End of Clip~
I was now in tears as the group was watching me. As I was about to walk away another clip came up in the video. It was my mother.
~Dialogue in Clip~
"Annie darling if you are watching this I want to tell you that I love you so much and if anything has happened to me by the time you're watching this just know that I want to you to be happy. You're probably wondering why I didn't leave your father after I found out his secret. I didn't leave him because I thought that he could be saved. I had hope in him but protect with Isabella with all your might and make sure your father never gets a hold of her. After all, she is like the sister you never had. And I will keep my promise to you. Never give up on your hopes and dreams. You are a wonderful dancer and don't stop. You'll get your big brake someday, I have faith in you. All I want is for you to be happy and around people who care for you. I love you Annie darling."
~End of Clip~
Then the video ended. I was now really crying. "I love you too mom." I said.
"Rex-Chan are you ok?" Honey asked.
"Yes Honey Senpai. I just need to go. If you would excuse me I have some chores to do since we aren't opening the host club today." I told them. I was walking out the doors and Cat followed.
"What's her problem?" Hikaru asked.
"Rexi's mother died when Rexi was only thirteen. She never told me how but I never asked her either." Haruhi told them.
"Should we go check to see if Rex-chan is ok?" Honey asked.
"Yes that would be a good idea Honey Senpai but after we figure out our plans for tomorrow." Kyoya told him.

When I got home I took a lavender bubble bath. I got dressed in a tank top, skin color tights snd black shorts. I went downstairs to the dance studio. I hooked up my ipod and started to dance to Evacuate the dance floor. Cat was probably explaining everything to mom. I had a plentiful amount of water to keep me hydrated.
~Hours later~
The doorbell rang and on the other side of the door was the host club. Cat had answered the door.
"Hi Cat we wanted to see Rexi. Is she here?" Haruhi asked.
"She's here but she's been dancing for hours in the dance studio." Cat told them.
"May we see her?" Haruhi asked.
"I don't see why not. Follow me." Cat said as she lead the group to the dance studio.
I had just collapsed crying when the chorus of Only the good die young came on. Then the door opened. "Why?" I was crying. Haruhi came running towards my side "Are you ok?" She asked.
"No I'm messed up." I told her sobbing.
"Don't say that! Your not messed up you are perfectly fine!" Haruhi told me.
"No that's not true. I should of gone to the police about my mother's death but I didn't and now Peter has Aunt Rita. This is my fault." I told her crying
"Let's get you up and into the gaming room and you can explain what you mean." Cat said as she helped me up. Haruhi lead me to the gaming room as Cat grapped my ipod and shut everything off in the dance studio. Haruhi sat me down at the couch. Everyone else grabbed a seat.
"Rexi what were you saying in the studio?" Haruhi asked as the others were listening.
"Peter killed my mother." I told her.
"How would you" "know that your father killed your mother?" Kaoru and Hikaru asked.
I looked at them still crying "The night my mother was killed by Peter, Aunt Rita was at a girlfriend's house with Isabella and they were arguing. They must of thought that I was asleep because of the volume of their voices was so loud. I got out of bed and went down some of the stairs to watch what was going on but I made sure that they didn't see me. Then Peter pulled out a knife and stabbed her repeatedly. I quietly went up the stairs and got back into my bed fearing my life. Peter then went to go dump the body. I don't know what he did with the knife and the bloody shirt. When they found my mother, Peter had just redone the didn't have any leads so the case was abandoned it was recently reopened because of my statement. I still have nightmares about that I found out his secret shortly after and Isabella and I were on the run since. I blame myself for not going to the police. If I went to them sooner this wouldn't of happened. I lost my best friend that day. When I was little and was crying she would sing You'll be in my heart. It would always cheer me up." I told them.
"That's terrible. Rexi, you father will be put to jail! We will make sure of it." Tamaki told me.
"Thanks Tamaki Senpai but you have to make sure you don't reveal our identities in the process. If that happens who knows what will happen." I told him.
"So what do you want to do Rex?" Cat asked. I shrugged "Maybe change and play some games with you guys?" I asked them. They nodded in approval. I then went upstairs to my room and changed into my bright neon green skirt with the matching purple and green top. I left the shorts on and went downstairs. "You look bright." Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison.
"Who is ready to challenge the champ at DDR?" I asked. We had a contest on who could be me. The only person who could truly was Cat or Alec but to my surprise Kaoru beat me.
"But how?" I asked.
He shrugged "Pure luck." he told me. I rolled my eyes and then realized something. I realized that I was around people who cared for me. I smiled I had made my mom's wish come true because I was becoming happy again. I hadn't been this happy since I was with Alec and that was over a month ago. "Hey earth to Rexi! You going to play again?" Kaoru asked. I smiled "Why wouldn't I?" I told him. 'I had taken a better liking towards Kaoru more than Hikaru even though I had only met him yesterday. I don't know why I had taken a liking towards him. It was something about him but I couldn't put my finger on it.' I returned to reality and joined in on the fun.
