Caught in a web of lies, Mayuri finds herself becoming the victim and suffering at the hands of her peers. She sees the outer world just within her reach in the sky above, but she finds herself trapped in the shrinking confines of her mind where the...

The Host Club came rushing into the hospital where I called them using the hospital orm the front desk let me borrow. Tamaki grabbed me by the shoulders. "Haruhi, are you alright?" He asked with with hurried concern.
'It's not me you should be worried about," I sniffed, quickly wiping away the stray tears. 'It's Mayuri."
Tamaki noticed the tears and his face softened. "You were crying..." He whispered.
"Like I said," I smacked Tamaki's hand away from me. "It's not me you should be worried about. It's Mayuri."
"Can we visit her?" Hikaru said.
"No," I shook my head no. "They took her away. We can't visit her just yet. Right now, I know that she's getting her stomach pumped and the nurses and doctors will call us in when she either wakes up or when her condition becomes critical."
"I hope Mayuri's gonna be alright," Honey whimpered as he hugged Mori and Mori nodded solemnly in agreement.
"But why would she do such a thing?" Kaoru asked.
"Because it's my fault," I blurted out.
"Huh?!" The Host Club asked me in confusion.
"It's my fault," I repeated, my voice becoming heavy and I thought I was going to cry in front of them. "I said awful things to her that she most definitely didn't deserve because of an misunderstanding. It's my fault that she tried to end her life."
"No, it's not," Kaori spoke up suddenly. I looked at her, slightly confused. She wouldn't try and end her life without any reason, right? She isn't that type of person. "It's because of her," Kaori spat bitterly as tears still ran down her face.
"If I may ask," Kyoya said as he pushed his glasses up. "Who is 'her', exactly?"
Kaori wiped a couple of stray tears before sighing. "Looks like I have a story to tell," She replied. "Forgive me, Mayuri."

Yuna and I were hanging around in a secluded spot near the back of the school where the track was. It was our usual hangout spot, where we often talked about how our day was and gossiped a bit about our classmates.
We were chatting like any ordinary day but I was more focused on Yuna's appearance rather than what she was saying. I had the hugest crush on my best friend for ages. At first, I thought it was just admiration of her taken a bit too far and it would die down, but my feelings for her seemed to triple each time I saw her. I couldn't contain those feelings any longer.
As Yuna opened her mouth, I spoke out. "I-I love you!" I blurted out suddenly.
"What?" Yuna jumped suddenly, surprised at what I just said.
