Chapter 3: no more
((I was crying when I wrote this, it may bring some tears to you and it may not but here's your warning now.))
Tears ran down my face, my smile disappeared from my face. "Is he alright?" I asked already heading to the door with the Host Club following me, "he tried to take his own life... he could die... he wants to see you." I closed my phone and began to run. I turned the corner of the school and nearly fell down the stairs. I heard the Host Club shouting after me but I couldn't slow down, I need to get to him! I ran out the door and down the street. My lungs hurt like last time, my heart was beating rapidly as I charged through the doors. "Your father..." our doctor said as he opened the door. My father was hooked up to a IV drop with blood and morphine. "Dad?" I asked as I walked up to the bed and sat down next to him, his eyes flickered open and he held up his hand for me to take, "I'm sorry, my baby girl, I'm so, so sorry. I just... can't live without your mother." He said, tears streamed down his cheeks, "I love you... you know that, right?" He said and I nodded, "and I want you to always be happy." He said, his voice was raspy, "Your mother and I will always be with you." He smiled and the monitor went dead, "No! No! No!" I screamed and someone tried to pull me away. "No!" I screamed as I fought with the doctor. "Miss Higanbana, you need to let him go." My doctor said, "just leave me be, for just a moment." I said as I clutched his hand. The doctor left and I heard talking outside the door. "Where is she?" I heard Tamaki say. "She's in there, but she wants to be alone with her... loved one." The doctor said. "You were ment to be with me when I got married, you were ment to walk me down the aisle and give me away to my husband... who's going to do that now?" I whispered with my head hug, tears falling onto his hand. "You loved mom so much... you missed her more than I." I said through my tears, "and I'm going to make sure you stay together." I said and let go over his hand and kissed his slightly chilled forehead. I covered his face with the white sheet and went to the door. "Doctor." I said to get his attention, "please contact the funeral home, say that I want both my parents buried together." I said and saw that the whole of the Host Club was here. "With that... I'll be leaving..." I said and walked the opposite direction of them. I was about to call the driver but he was already here. "Ma'am, we are all sorry for your loss." He said, he had been crying as well. "He died happily... that's all that matters." I said and got in when the whole host club came rushing to me. I smiled and waved to them as we drove away.
I got home and walked into my room. I looked at all the photos of my parents and I.
Your not alone,
together we stand,
I'll be by your side you know I'll take your hand,
When it gets cold,
And it feels like the end,
There's no place to go, you know I won't give in.
No I won't give in,
Keep holding on,
Because you know we'll make it through, make it through.
Just stay strong,
Because you know I'm here for you, here for you.
There was a knock on the door, "miss, there are some people here to see you." Said a maid. I set down the photo and cleared away my tears and added eye drops to get the redness out. I walked downstairs and saw the whole of the Host Club. "Aki," they said and hugged me. I pushed away, "as I said, I don't need a shoulder to cry on. I'm fine." I said and Tamaki pulled his hand away from my cheek, it was wet with past shed tears. "Aki-Chan, both your parents just died... we won't see you any less if you cry." Honey said and I smiled, "don't worry, I'm fine." I said and Tamaki braced my face. "Stop smiling! Nothing here is "fine"!" He yelled, "I promised to always smile." I said and tried to push him away. My heart began to beat faster and I nearly blacked out. I fell into a bucket of ice, plunging deep into the darkness.
I woke up and saw everyone around me. "Please don't die!" Haruhi said, "I won't, more faith please." I said and sat up, "that was bound to happen I was running, I wasn't ment to run." I said and stood up, "God, you all must be tired, I'll get them to drive you home." I said and pulled a silent cord. The butler came in quickly, "give these gentlemen a ride home, thank you." I said and he nodded. I waved goodbye and went back upstairs.
In the morning I put on the dark band and brushed my hair. My eyes were back to normal and I smiled. I walked down and out to the car, "ma'am, shouldn't you eat?" Asked our... my head housekeeper. "Sorry, I'm not very hungry." I said and she took hold of my hand, "for lunch," she said and handed me a bento box. I nodded, already knowing I probably won't eat it.
I got to school and I walked up to the music room. I smiled as I pulled the drapes back, the dew still on the grass, twinkling in the morning light. I opened all the drapes and the light poured in. I looked at the piano, that seems to be one of the only things I play... I picked up the guitar and sat down on the window area.
I remember the day you told me you were leaving,
I remember the makeup running down your face,
And the dreams you left behind, you didn't need them,
Like every single wish we ever made.
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia,
And forget about the stupid little things,
Because I'm not fine at all.
If I could wake up with you beside me,
Like this was just some twisted dream,
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before,
And you'd never slip away,
And you'd never hear me say,
I wish I could wake up with amnesia,
Tell me this is a dream,
Because I'm not fine at all,
No I'm really not fine at all.
