Chapter 26: Smashed Tomato

I snatched a gleaming red tomato in my fist, spun on my heels, and pommeled the wall with it. The tomato splattered, juice and seeds spread across the pile of garbage. It felt good.
      I grabbed another one, imagining my father. I pictured the tomatoes bursting all over his smug-

The door swung open just as I threw another one. It hit Kyoya's face. Steven who stood behind him looked startled. His eyes narrowed as he took in the orange mess that I made on the side of the building.
       "Those tomatoes better not be my tomatoes."
       I wiped my hand down on my paint-stained jeans. I could feel heat rising to my cheeks. Technically, they aren't. I paid for them. Kyoya was wiping the tomato off his face as Steven grunted.
       "You better get that's crate inside after you're done with your... target practice. We've been making meals with wilted lettuce for two days."

He got back inside the building, leaving the door open. The noise of laughter and music spilled out into the alley me and my brother stood.
      My world was crashing down and nobody noticed. I turned around back to the crate and gripped the edges of it. The waves of aggression were left to rot with the tomatoes. I followed Steven back into the building with my brother in tow.

Kyoya has told me what father said. It made me furious. I offered him to stay with us but it was too risky, he said. Father is watching his every step. It was already near impossible to get here. He didn't want to tell me how he did. But I trust him.
       The others didn't pay attention to me as I walked passed them. Honey-senpai was crying on the ground Tamaki was trying to reassure him. I chuckled and took something out of the bag standing next to the other crates.
       "Honey-senpai? Guess what I got", I said in a sweet voice. Honey immediately ran up to me when he saw the cake in my hands. Mori took it from me so he could cut it in pieces.

Marjolein entered the room. She smiled whenshe saw the cake.
         "Do you want a piece, Mario-chan?" Honey asked. Since Marjolein was a bit hard to pronounce people called her "Mario" instead. It stuck. Haru entered the room, too. With his crutches he's slower. Whenever we offer him help her refuses, though.
       Mario said it's because he doesn't want to seen weak. Haru is very upset about the whole surgery. Even though he can still feel one leg, he isn't satisfied. 

Tao quickly followed. As soon as he saw me, he came to me. He made sure no one was paying attention to us before speaking.
         "Emergency meeting. Steven wants to discuss something urgent. It's about your father and his Ceberus project."
