Her Silenced Voice (Ouran High School Host Club)

Her Silenced Voice *ch. 18*

"I swear, I didn't notice though," Suoh said.

"Drop it," Haruhi said.

"She started coming to the host club as a hostess though," Hunny said.

'She wouldn't do that,' I typed.

Everyone became silent and Kyoya cleared his throat, "She....um, she was going to continue as 'Ace' here but Jake and Kai demanded we make her a hostess so we made her a hostess,"

'But why would she join?!' I wrote down again.

"She joined so your hospital debt would be reduced as long as she worked in the host club," Haruhi explained for me when no one would.

"But she had no clue as to how infamous you were," Kyoya said, looking me in the eyes, "Did you ever plan to tell her?"

'It would be best if she didn't know,' I typed, 'Mentally, physically, and emotionally,'

"Right," Suoh said, "So knowing that you are my rival and everything, she came and competed against me socially, and so I had her moved up to my classes,"

'And what made you think she was prepared for higher class materials?' I asked.

"I....are you saying you don't think she was prepared?"

'No, I'm saying you don't know her as well as I do,' I clicked down swiftly.

"Well......" Suoh said. Grr.....his big ego could have caused her to have a failing grade. If she wasn't prepared, it would have been a bad mark on her record.

"So she's in the upper classes and well......she did considerably well...she was worried and troubled by one thing though, the person who attempted to kill her. She was convinced it was a student here at the source of the reason why," Haruhi said.

"She visited you everyday and she made friends, she did considerably well academically, but at times there were moments when she would snap," Hikaru said.

"She ditched the host club once, saying she was sick and tired of us, went to the hospital knowing it was a trap, had almost bipolar moods and so many different things which were dangerous and she just doesn't seem to know-"

'Wait, so you're saying she has mental issues?' I typed.

"No, Ace, she has a more sound mentality than all of us," Haruhi said, "We're saying we're concerned for her emotional state, she passed out after something happened,"

'What was that something?' I put down.

She paused for a moment. They all did.

"Jake....." she started, "When we arrived at the scene, he was on top of her while she was yelling for him to get off but...."

Is that the reason he walked out? No, Jake isn't that kind of person. "But..." Haruhi continued, "Jake told us he thought it was Allen,"

Allen....that dick came back to her?!

When I was gone of all times!!!

"What happened with them, if I might ask," Kyoya said.

I glared at them. Infuriated at everything. I should have woken up. I could have but I didn't. Allen. Jake. Host club. The attempted murder. Evelyn's bullying. Everything.

'It's a long story'

"We're here for rich girls who have time to waste, we have time," Suoh said, reclining as if to show just how relaxed he was, however his figiting revealed how impatient he was.

I pursed my lips in a tight line.

'So, Evelyn and Allen were always together once they became friends. It all started when they were paired together as science partners. They were friends and he was tolerable,' I typed.

'Eventually, he became like Jake and Kai and I would see him every monday night when we gathered at our house for pizza or ice cream night. And as her brother, I could see that he had taken a liking to Evelyn,'

"So what happened?"

'Well, like most guys, he confessed to her......' I typed.

"There's a but in it isn't there?" Suoh said.

I glared then continued, 'Yes, but this time was different. He was a close friend and obviously, she was going to feel something for him....but she turned him down anyways,'

"Did she ever tell you why?" Hunny asked.

'No, but I already knew, she thought that it was better for him to not go with her because she didn't feel good enough for him, her feelings were mutual....but she loved him too much,'

"So what did he do?" Hikaru asked, absorbed in the story.

'So, after that, he became someone who went around and you know, dated and became a player. But he also got drunk off of that,' I paused, then continued, 'if any of this escapes the room, I'm pulling strings and someone will get hurt,'

'He got dunk most nights and eventually stumbled into Evelyn's arms. She took him to his house and she refuses to tell me what happened but what I could guess, Allen had said something to her about his feelings towards her because the next day, they were going out,'

"Really?" Haruhi asked skeptically.

'No, not really but something like that, they were in a complicated relationship where they were close enough to be viewed as an item. Everything was fine, everything. She became livelier, he became a guy you want to be friends with again....but one night...'

I paused.

"Ace...?" Haruhi asked.

'Well, we were on stage practicing and well, he had came along and was visiting again and this was after he had arrived from month trip from overseas. I had then left backstage, Kai went to the bathroom and Jake went to the back of the auditorium to take a quick nap...it was normal...'

I paused again. Did I really want to tell the whole lot of girl-wooing children Evelyn's story?

'I heard her call out my name, then a shriek and a loud voice, yelling. It had seemed, Allen had tried forcing himself on her, but him being her boyfriend, she didn't use her defensive skills on him, which was kind of ridiculous. He deserved it'

"Oh, god," Suoh said, his face horrified.

'He started yelling at her. Shaking her asking her why she had called out my name. Asked her why she loved me so much that all she could say was Ace this and Ace that and Ace fixed did this and Ace mastered that....he said that she clung onto me so much we could have been mistaken for a couple. Incest, he called it. Said that Evelyn needed to stop acting like I was the most wonderful thing that happened to her,'

I paused and when I saw the dumb struck faces, I added on.

'But that might not seem as bad to you but, to her, I was her most dearest brother....to her, it seemed that it was her duty to make sure that she show everyone that I had raised her as the most wonderful person.....that sacrifices do have a wonderful output. She cherished me like that....and here Allen was, saying that I had raised her to make people think that she and I commit incest. That it was how she portrayed me to the world,'

"Saying all that, don't you understand that it's unhealthy for her to have her world revolving around you?" Kyoya asked.

I glared at him for a moment, 'people cling, Mr. Ottori, please understand that Suoh has built his life around impressing, the twins on each other, Hunny on candy and Mori on Hunny all the while you're only goal is to climb up your family status ladder. Are you all unhealthy?"

Slamming the laptop closed, I stood up and walked towards the door.

"How....?" I heard, "Why does he know?"

I was angry, they weren't going to explain to me what was going on with Evelyn, and they weren't doing such a good job explaining in the first place so, I realized, I should have gone there in the first place.

-knock, knock- I heard an echo and footsteps ring behind the door.

As I stood waiting, the doors opened and I smiled as he spoke.

"Welcome to the black magic club, we've been expecting you,"
