A Beautiful Secret (OHSHC)

How To Save A Life

{Haruhi's P.O.V}

My vision is blurry as I open up my eyes, Yu has her head on my bed lying asleep. She must've been here for a long time, I smile as I stroke my fingers through her hair. I take a look to my left and read 7AM off the clock.

Yu starts to move, she opens and rubs her eyes but does it a couple more times once she notices I'm awake, "You're okay?" She asks me surprised at how well I look, I give her a nod, "Thank goodness.."

"How long have I've been in the hospital?" I question Yu, she takes out her phone and begins to look at the calendar.

"A couple of days, your Dad usually visits during the afternoon. So look forward to that." Yu explains to me, I have a sudden urge to ask her something else, I can tell she knows what it is, "Your friends from the club also came but the staff didn't let them see you since they aren't family. They left gifts though."

"Yu.."

"Haru, I'm fine. Let's just forget about this. It's in the past, it doesn't matter."

"DON'T TELL ME IT DOESN'T MATTER!" I yell at her, "You could've died, how can you pass that off as nothing?! Do you know what state you would be in if I didn't make it in time? Look, I know we don't know each-other that well and we only just met for the first time, but from the time I spent with you, I know you're a sweet, kind, and beautiful girl. You've just been around the wrong people so you find that hard to believe that. I want to help you, Yu. Why won't you let me?"

"Haru..."

"Yu, I'm being serious, why don't you just let me in already? There's no use to keep fighting alone!" I tell her as tears fall down my face, in the corner of my eye I see her clenching her fist.

"Haru, you have no idea what you're getting into." Yu says as she gets up and leave the room. I ponder on what that could've meant.

{Yu's P.O.V}

As I walk out into the lobby the group of men sitting in the waiting area catches my eye. I try to avoid them but I'm pulled over by Tamaki. I really don't have the energy to deal with him.

"You know, this wouldn't have happened..if..." He starts, I take my mask off and glare at him.

"This wouldn't have happened if what? I never showed up? After all this you still have the nerve to be a complete jackass. I thought you were better then that, we're in high-school for pete's sake!" I start yelling at him, I can feel the gazes of all the strangers who are also waiting in the lobby.

"Yu, this isn't the time, just–" Hikaru says trying to hold in his tears.

"Stop, just stop. You don't like me, okay I get it but you don't have the right to say such mean and hurtful things to me. Honestly, this is your fault, don't pin the blame on me. I'm going home." I slap Tamaki before making my way towards he spinning doors.

The bus doesn't take long to get here, I'm dropped off at a graveyard. I walk up the path remembering each step I took. Ahead of me lays a tombstone, I take a seat next to it.

"Hey Nii-chan, I know this is what father wanted me to do but I just can't. You understand right? I don't get how people can be so mean." I start out, "I didn't do anything to them. I was just being me. I guess people always end up in the hospital wherever I go, haha."

I lower my head and pull my knees up to my chest and begin to cry, "I miss you.."
