The Undeniable Truth

You had made your way to your locker without talking to anyone. You had been out a week and you werent sure if Ruri was going to kill you or if she was going to tackle you to the ground in a hug. You had opened your locker and still there was no sign of Ruri. You had grabbed your books, closed your locker and turned around to see Yuki, Hatsuharu, and Momiji Sohma. You stood there in shock and then looked away as you placed a hand on your arm that had been wrapped earlier in the morning. You knew these Sohma's...everyone did.

"Hatori told us what had happened" Haru told you. You let out a sigh and looked at them

"please dont tell anyone, Ruri was the only one that knew about it and i didnt want people to know because i didnt want people to give me fake pity" you told them. You were slowly getting annoyed with them because the look in their eyes held pity. The guys moved out of the way to let a screaming Ruri by and tackle you in a hug

"ow, ow, ow, Ruri im still in pain and your fat ass doesnt help it go away" you laughed as you hugged her back. Ruri had soon rolled off of you and helped you up with your good arm. You looked to see the three guys still there

"hey guys" Ruri smiled as she waved to them getting a smile from all them

"hello Ruri, How are you today?" Yuki asked. Ruri had pulled you into another hug and started to cry a little

"Im a lot better now that Mai's back" she said as she turned to you "i was so lost without you and i was so lonely" she cried as she hugged you. You had hugged her back and looked at the guys as tears started to form. You knew that she was scared to death that you had died thanks to your parents. She was your best friend and the guys could see that. She closed your eyes and buried your head in her shoulder and cried a little harder.

Months had gone by and you had decided that you would go back to your house. Of course everyone had tried to talk you out of it but you had made up your mind and knew that this was something that you had to do. No matter how much they told you that you would be safer, you knew if was only a matter of time before your father would make a scene and you would get hurt....or worse, die from him being a drunk.

You had walked through the door to see that no one was in the house. It was completely empty. There was no furniture, no clothes, no food, nothing. You slowly walked in leaving the door wide open and just looked at the emptiness of the house. Tears had threatened to fall but you tried to hold them back the best you could. Hatori stood at the door and watched you look around as if waiting for one of your parents to come out of nowhere. But that never came. You turned and looked at him with tears flowing from your emerald eyes

"what happened? where are they?"

"They left a couple of weeks ago"

"they left me here?"

"you dont belong with them. They only end up hurting you" Hatori told you as he walked closer to you but you took a step back

"but they were the only ones i had left. I dont have any other family" you whispered. You turned around and just looked at the house you had called home. The place you were always afraid to be at but at the same time loved. You grew up here.
