The next day, I was heading to Music Room #3 due to the fact that I promised I would come to the club that day. I was on my way, when two boys came up behind me and grabbed my arms, dragging me away. I tilted my head towards the mystery figures, seeing that it was two red heads, I sighed.

" You know, I do have two feet and am very capable of walking myself."

"We know," Hikaru began. "We just don't care." Kaoru finished.

"Whatever," I grumbled under my breath."Dumb twins."

"You know we can hear you, right?"

"Of course I know, I just don't care."

"Sassy, huh?" The twins say, in sync.

"No way, You're both going insane."

"Last time we checked, We're both perfectly fine, Thank you."

Well some people don't know sarcasm when they hear it. I just roll my eyes and let them drag me to the host room. The doors open, cue the blinding light and rose petals, and Tamaki gasps.

"Why are you manhandling my little girl like that?" He shouts enthusiastically.

"First of all," I say pointing to myself. "Not your little girl. Second of all, Somebody thought it might be a good idea to drag me here instead of letting me walk on my own two feet." The twins pout and Tamaki enters his emo corner. I sigh walking over to Tamaki.

"It's just because, I see you as a brother not my dad." I get up and Honey hugs me.

"Zafi, Will you have cake with me and Takashi?" I smile and nod. Honey drags me over to the table that he shares with Mori.

"So Honey, How are your classes going?"

"They're going great! Thanks for asking Zafi." I smile and nod.

"How about you Mori?" He looks at me for a second without responding. "It's okay, You're a man of few words. I get it." I finish smirking. I get a text that makes my mood deflate.

"Uh, I'm gonna go. Thanks for the sweets." I get up and walk from the host room to the rose garden. I sit on the bench feeling a tad bit depressed as I read the text again.

From: Dad

Hey darling. I know I told you that I would be able to make it there for winter break,

but right now it just doesn't seem likely. I love you. Bye.

I feel someone sit down next to me, but only after a few minutes of staring at my cell phone screen do I look up to see Mori sitting next to me. He stares at me quizzically.

"It was my dad," I sigh. "Originally, he was going to come to Japan to see me for Winter break. Apparently, something more important came up." Mori puts a hand on my shoulder, comforting me. "I know my dad loves me, but sometimes I really doubt it." He looks down.

"People single me out, because I don't talk much. They say it's weird, but it hurts a little hearing it so much." He said, shocking me.

"You know, Mori. I'm kind of glad you don't talk much. I mean, Yeah, it'd be nice if you would talk to me but, It just means I can trust you. I know that you won't tell anybody else what I tell you." He gives me a small smile.

I squeeze his shoulder, "You better not change for anyone, but yourself."

My hand slides of his shoulder as I walk away, but he grabbed my hand pulling me back. With the smile still on his face, He squeezes my hand and walks away.
