The Little Helper (Ouran High School)

The Reaction and the Outcome

I froze and tensed with my fists clenched. I looked up to the pathetic imposters. My dad- no scratch that. Robert holding Jessica in his arms as she cried and Moni- no...mom, looking at me with some kind of hope... "Wipe that silly look off your face, Monica." I mumbled with a grimace. She did. My mom sniffed and gazed at me, "Andrea. Im sorry."

I wasnt angry, but I certainly wasnt overjoyed and ready to jump into Monica's arms and forgive Robert and Jessica. Honestly, did I have to call them by first name now? My mom and dad were now my aunt and unlce and my maid was now my mom. I inhaled and spoke, "Okay. Why." Jess opened her mouth but then closed it and hid in Robert's arms. Monica prepared to explain. 

"Andrea... When you were only a baby... I negotiated with Jessica. Like I told you before, she was my older sister and had a better future than I did. I didnt want you to grow up poor..and wasting all the potential you had. So Jessica agreed to take you in and raise you as her own so youd have a great future. And you do! Youre working for the number one man! You are about to marry and..none of this would have been possible if not for that change over.." she finished then came a step closer, "Im sorry for when I had to..be the ...be the bad guy..." I remembered when she had to seperate Kyoya and I and she was a complete witch. I hated her for that and there was no way I could love her now. 

"Monica. Why did you do as Mr.Ootori said?" I asked. "I had to! I had no choice...I was living on the streets when Mr.Ootori found me and demanded me to work for him-" she stopped midway her sentence because she had just revealed Mr.Ootori's plan. To hire Monica, who he knew was my mother, then make sure she was desperate enough to destroy my life for a living. And we had all fallen for it. He had been winning all along. I grripped my head and let out a good shout of frustration. Then I was angry at everyone but Kyoya. Unless...

I turned and exclaimed in question, "Did you know?" Kyoya seemed offended, "Ofcourse I didnt! Do you honestly think I would have knowledge of this bootless scheme and keep it a secret? From you?" I pursed my lips and refused to cry. Then I inhaled and announced, "I need a moment." Everyone turned to leave but i called out Mr.Ootori and Kyoya, "Except for you two."

They both sat. When they were all gone I sat across from the two Ootoris. "Sir, if I may ask how did you find out?" I asked, addressing Mr.Ootori. He took a moment then responded, "There is nothing I dont know. I just had to find her at the right time. You dont think I do reasearch on my workers?" I pounded my fist on the table, "Damn right you do! Not to mention you decieve them, mistreat them! You cheat them!" I shouted. Then I asked my self aloud, "Why do I still work for you?" Mr.Ootori smiled and easily answered, "Because of Kyoya. You cant leave then youll have no reason to stay in contact, now will you?" Kyoya looked up from his lap and asked, "Andrea? You stay because of me?" 

I sniffed, "Yeah..." Kyoya then did the most interesting thing in the world. He smiled. I frowned, "Kyoya...?" He then put on his serious-business mode on and spoke confidently, "Father. If I may. Andrea may in fact leave and stay with me. Despite what you say about me only playing the part of your son...Im her fiance." I gasped as my eyes widened, and Mr.Ootori's did, too. "Yes...we're..engaged! you cant separate us now!" I grinned. Mr.Ootori didnt freak out like he did at the Christmas dance at the ski resort. No. He simply slumped in his seat and massaged his temples. I looked at Kyoya knowing that one problem was solved. 

Then to finish this problem off I stood and bowed, "I quit!!" I could hear the imaginary crowd applauding in my head. Kyoya nodded once at me and gave me a big hug. I then decided to leave this room and deal with the rest of the imposters. I led Kyoya by the hand as if he was a little kid. Robert, Jessica, and Monica all looked up and stood. I shook my head and they all sat back down. They all waited a guilty verdict, but what I gave them was much worse and it was in disguise.
