I woke up to the sun in my eyes. I groaned, rolling over, effectively waking me up because I had somehow managed to roll of the bed, creating a dull, loud thud. Minutes later, seeing as I didn't want to get up, I stared at the ceiling as my door burst open. I saw Kaoru with Hikaru right behind him, both had worry written on their faces.
"Are you all right?" Kaoru asked.
"Yeah. Didn't realize that I was on the edge of the bed and rolled off," I said, propping myself up on my elbows. They sighed in relief before grabbing my arms and picking me up and setting me back down on my feet. "I could have done that on my own you know," I said. They shrugged.
"What do you want to do today?" Hikaru asked.
"I dunno. I was hoping I could relax today," I shrugged. He stood quiet for a moment, thinking.
"We could go swimming?" He suggested. I shook my head.
"Not really in the mood," I said. Sitting down on the edge of my bed, we thought in silence.
"Never thought we would run out of ideas of things to do," Kaoru said, mostly to himself.
"Maybe we should just take a break today. You know, relax," I said. Just then, a maid came up with the host club behind her. I groaned, falling backwards onto the bed.
"Hey guys," greeted Kaoru. They all greeted us back, the maid slipping away afterwards.
"Can we please just have a relaxing day? No going out somewhere. Just lazing around. Please?" I asked, desperately wanting to sit and read all day, maybe listen to some music. Everyone, except the twins, nod in agreement.
"Have been going at a steady pace, with barely any breaks," Kyoya points out. The twins groan, but finally agree.
"Today will be a long day," Hikaru muttered.
So basically, we ended up sitting in various areas of my room, the twins and Tamaki playing some video game, Kyoya reading a book, occasionally writing in his black notebook, which I like to call a death note, although he doesn't understand, Haruhi studying for some reason, and Honey and Mori just talking and eating cake, although Honey was talking most of the time. I was leaning against the headboard of my bed, book in hand. I had my headphones on, listening, but not really, to music. Suddenly my music was interupted, a caller ID coming up as an unknown phone number. Picking it up, I call out to the closest person to me, who just so happened to be Kyoya.
"Hey Kyoya? Do you recognise this phone number?" I ask. Everyone stops what they are doing and watches the exchange. Kyoya gets up and looks at my phone, confusion making its way onto his face.
"Why is one of my hospitals calling you?" He asks. Fear flickers across my face as I immediately answer the phone and stand up, facing away from everyone.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hi. Is this Sabrina Redwood?" The lady asked.
"Yeah. Why? Is something wrong?" I asked, panic evident in my voice. Please no.
"I'm sorry to say but, your father's cancer came back. He will be going through kimo again, but it came back extremely strong, so he most likely won't make it. I'm sorry, ma'am," The lady told me. My breathing hitched in my throat. No. Not again.
"Ok. Thanks for letting me know," I say, hanging up, not wanting to hear anymore sympathy. I put my hand over my mouth and choke back a sob. My vision blurs as fresh hot tears spill from my eyes and down my cheeks. Oh god no. I take shaky breath after shaky breath, desperately trying not to sob. This is so unfair.
The hand that is holding my phone clenches, unclenches, then clenches again. Why? Why does this have to happen to me? What did I do wrong? Gripping my phone tightly, I throw my phone on my bed and sink down to the ground, sobs finally wracking through my body. My dad might hate me, but he is still my dad, and I love him. Everyone watches the scene before them, shocked at my reaction to the call. Kaoru is the first to snap out of his shock, carefully coming close to me. He bends down and sits next to me on the floor. He puts a hand on my back, rubbing soft circles. Then he scoots me closer to him, wrapping his arm around me in a comforting gesture.
"What's wrong Sabrina-chan?" Honey asked. I hiccup, but stay silent.
"Why did the hospital call you?" Kyoya asks. I stayed quiet.
"Sabrina. Please. We can't help you if you don't tell us," Haruhi says, kneeling in front of me. I shake my head.
"You can't. You can't save my dad. He's dying, and there's nothing you can do about it," I snap, anger rising in me. I clench my hands into fists, and I glare at them. "Why? Why does everyone around me suffer?" I ask, nearly above a whisper, but Kaoru heard it.
"What do you mean suffer?" He asks.
"First Rina, then my friends, now my father! Why do I have to lose everyone I care about!? It's not fair!" I scream out in agony. Everyone exchange glances, and Kaoru pulls me into his lap. I'm back to sobbing, and I bury my head in his chest. "What did I do to deserve this? What did I do wrong?" I ramble. Kaoru starts to rock me back and forth, rubbing circles on my back.
"Shhh. Just calm down. Take a deep breath," I do as td, taking a shaky breath. "Now. What's wrong?" Kaoru asks.
"My father's cancer came back, and he has to go through kimo again, but the doctor said that he most likely won't make it," I say before breaking down into sobs again. Kaoru's arms tighten around me, and I bury my head into his chest again. His steady heartbeat calms me down slightly. Pretty soon, the darkness consumed me and I was asleep.
