A couple of days have passed by and I still haven't confronted Mother. I thought I was ready but here I was still procrastinating. I was currently sitting at the cafe Tamaki took me once with Seika. I saw her on the street the other day and we agreed to meet up. Ever since that day, she has been much kinder to me. I looked at her with calm eyes, I could get used to this. She was sipping a small cup of coffee filled to the brim with sugar. She told me how she sneaked off to a baby appointment and confirmed she was indeed pregnant. She said she was hoping the sticks were false and her hormones were all messed up. Now, we knew 100% that she was with child.

"He said that I'm in good health and the baby is alright." She breathed.

I smiled, "That's good to hear." I wondered what the baby would look like. Perhaps, have bright ginger hair like Hikaru or her brown. What about the baby's eyes? To have striking yellow would be something. "I wonder what the baby will look like?" I ended up asking.

"I hope it looks like me." She spoke frankly, "I don't want to be reminded of him." Maybe, I should keep my mouth shut. It must be too soon to talk about the baby. However, for some reason I was excited. I wanted to know all about her pregnancy. How was she feeling? Did she want a boy or a girl? Has she thought of any names yet? I was struck with baby fever. Was it because I knew that I could no longer have children? Or was it because I was just a normal girl who's sister was having a child. I was delighted. I knew this wasn't a good time for her to have a baby but I felt like that if I was supportive, she would feel better about it too.

I decided to ask more questions, "Are you wanting a boy or a girl?"

She placed her coffee down, looking to the side and a thinking manner. "Wel..." She hummed, "I think I want a boy."

"Why?"

"We've been raised in a house with mostly women and I wonder what it would be like to raise a boy." She began to smile. It's working! I was hoping by asking questions, she would feel better about her decision. I don't want her to regret it.

I grabbed her free hand without thinking, it was weird touching her. Growing up, we haven't even hugged each other. Mother made sure that I wouldn't "taint" her perfect daughter. "Any idea of what you want the name to be?"

"Not really. It's still really early and I want it to have the best name." She began to ramble on about baby stuff and her smile grew larger with every sentenced she finished. It was nice to see her so happy. I rested on my hand, soaking up every word she said. No matter what was to happen to me, I would like to remember this moment. When I was growing up, I always wished we could have spent time together like this. Having a nice chat and getting along. To be able to actually feel like sisters.

She got up from her seat, "I'm going to use the bathroom real quick."

"Okay."

I watched her go to the back. You couldn't tell she was pregnant yet, which was a good thing for us until we came up with a plan. I couldn't let her stay with Tomo and me. I was lucky enough he was letting me stay. There wasn't any room for another person since I was taking the couch. Where would we even put a baby? Tomo's place wasn't a good idea. I doubt she had any friends she could go too. She seemed like the type of person to have stuck up friends who would drop her the moment they found out she was pregnant. What were we going to do?

While I was in the middle of thinking I saw a bunch of familiar people walk in. It was all the Host but the one my eyes shot to was Hikaru. I felt anger growing inside me. I knew I should have stayed still and kept my mouth shut. I couldn't though. Something was screaming in my head to do something and for the first time ever, I listened. I shot up from my seat, making it almost fall down. Marching towards them, Takashi saw me first and his eyes filled with confusion. Anyone could feel the aggression coming from me.

One by one their eyes landed on me. It didn't take long for me to be standing in front of the ginger twin. I knew it was his and not Karou. I felt it. I was starting to tell them apart by the way they carried themselves. Karou was gentle and easy with his movements while Hikaru was more open and rugged. He looked down at me with a smile, "Hey, Hara!" He tried to play it off smoothly.

"Are you okay?" Tamaki went to touch my shoulder but I shrugged him off. They all grew worried.

I was glaring up at Hikaru with eyes that could scare the devil himself. If I could hurt someone with my gaze, I would hurt him. I couldn't speak at first, I was afraid I would only scream. How could he be acting like there was nothing wrong in the world? He put my sister in a situation that was life-changing. It was going to be hard for her. How dare he act like life was so easy. I didn't care that the Host's were here. I didn't care that everyone in the cafe was watching. I didn't care what was about to happen next.

"How dare you." I said, "How dare you act like nothing is wrong." My words were like venom.

He tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean?" He wasn't the only one asking questions.

"Hara, why are you so mad?" Honey asked, looking at me with his huge eyes. This time they didn't work for me. I was far beyond calm.

Kyoya stepped forth, his arms crossed. "Watch your tone. We are in a public place." My eyes wandered around and everyone was watching. I felt the tiny voice of reason in my head but I ignored it.

"Get out of my way or I'll hurt you." This wasn't like me. I would never hurt anyone. However, I needed to protect Seika and if it meant I was to become violent, I would. He continued to glare down at me, not moving an inch.

Kaoru tried to step in, "Why don't we calm down." Takashi then stood beside Kyoya, it was like they were forming a wall around Hikaru. It was upsetting. They didn't know what he did. If only they knew then they wouldn't defend him like this!

"How about we talk about it?" Haruhi spoke. I glared at her. I didn't want to hear a single thing from that liar. She lied to me about her gender and stole Tamaki from me. I was starting to cloud reasoning. I was looking for anything to fuel my anger. To give me the courage to tell him what he has done wrong. He deserved to know. He needed to man up and take responsibility.

I pushed them aside, "Because of you, she's going through pain." Hikaru tried to back up but was blocked because of a table. "It's all your fault that she is so scared!"

"What are you talking about!?" He yelled.

My hands clenched into a fist, "Fuck you!"

I punched him. He went straight to the ground. I heard gasps around me as Kaoru jumped to his brother's aid, helping him to his feet.

"What is wrong with you?!" Kaoru yelled, looking just as angry as I did.

"Hikaru!" Honey was by his side, about to cry. They all flocked to him like dogs. It made me sick. They didn't know. I shouldn't blame them but it made me angrier. Kyoya's eyes stabbed into me and if it wasn't for me hitting Hikaru. His eyes would have killed me.

"You're going to wish you've never done that," Kyoya glared.

I heard footsteps, "Hara, what did you do?!" Seika grabbed onto my hand, "We need to leave!" I saw the owner dialing on the phone. Probably calling the cops. She had to drag me away as I wanted to beat down Hikaru even more.

We got pretty far away from the cafe as she caught her breath from us running. "Hara..." She coughed, "Why did you hit him?"

"He deserves to know." I growled, "He looked so happy and acting like nothing was wrong!"

"He will never know!" She yelled.

I grabbed her shoulders, "It's not fair to you! What are we going to do when you get farther along? I can't take you with me. Hikaru has money and a large home. He could easily support you where I can't. I don't wanna see you struggle in life because of him." My arms grew heavy as I dropped to my knees, desperately clinging to her. "I don't wanna see you hurting..."

"Hara..." She pulled me back up, brushing a piece of my hair away. "I chose this. Even if it's hard, I made this decision on my own. I don't need him and we'll find a way. Even if it takes time."

I pulled away from her, trying to gather myself. "You don't understand, Seika. I don't have time."

"Hara, you keep saying strange things and I don't understand."

I bit my lip, "Seika..." I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. "It's nothing. I just think it would make life easier if he knew and actually help support you. I know there's a small chance he'll actually help but I'm worried about you."

"That doesn't explain anything." She followed her arms. Now, I've really done it. I can't explain my situation. She has too much going on right now. I should be the least of her worries. "Look," She sighed. "I need you to keep your temper in control. This is my decision and I don't want him knowing. I understand that you care for me but I really need you to listen."

I nodded, not wanting to argue with her. Acting out wasn't going to help anyone and I made myself look like an idiot. I going to apologize... I could have handled that better. "Fine. I'll keep my mouth shut."

"Thank you."

"I'm going to apologize for my behavior. I shouldn't have hit him." I said. I still think he deserved it but I'll keep that to myself.

She smiled, "Thank you for today. I hope we can hang out again soon."

"Of course!"


I made my way to the cafe once more. I wasn't about to go inside after the scene I just displayed. Looking through the windows, the Host was nowhere to be seen. Did they already leave? That was fast. I wanted to apologize immediately. I didn't want Tamaki to hate me. That was the last thing I wanted. Also, I wanted Takashi to not see me as someone who always resorts to violence. Looks like I'll have to wait until school tomorrow to talk to them.

With a defeated sigh I walked away from the cafe. I guess I'll go home for today. I didn't have the energy to face Mother after all this. I think a good chat with Tomo will calm me down. On my way towards the place, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Is that Takashi? Why is he here? He rushed up to me, his face had a thin line of sweat. Has he been running?

"Hara..." He said in relief. It was weird seeing him so out of character. He was sweaty and looked like he was in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

He shadowed over me like he was trying to block my silhouette from everyone, "You can't go back."

"Back where? To Tomo's?" I tilted my head, not understanding what was going on. Why couldn't I go back? His nervousness was making me unsettled.

He grabbed my wrist, "They're waiting for you. We need to leave." I refused to move from my spot. I was too confused. His face was serious, "He called your parents." I almost fell to my knees if it wasn't for the support of his hand. Who called my parents? They know where I am? Are they waiting for me? Will they force me to go back to that hell?

"W-What?" I stuttered. I was barely holding onto myself and keeping it together. I wasn't ready! The words shouted in my head. I needed to face Mother, I knew this. This would be the perfect chance but... I was still weak.

Takashi looked at the crowd of people around us, "We need to leave."

"What about Tomo? Will he be okay?" I asked trying to gather myself. He didn't look certain, silent he began to lead me away. I followed without protest. I was worried about Tomo and my well being. What am I doing? Am I really going to run away aga?n. How many times will I have to do this before I'm finally caught? I tugged my hand out of his grip.

I spoke, "I can't run anymore." He reached for my hand again but I stepped back. "I need to finally face her and I may not be ready but I don't have a choice. Thank you for telling me, Takashi. I can handle this." I turned around, rushing to Tomo's home. I heard Takashi say something behind me but I was to focused on running.
