Teardrops On My Guitar - Chapter 1

"Momma, what's wrong?" looking up form my laptop scree, I see Tamaki standing in front of me leaning inches away from my face.

"Nothing's wrong... Daddy" I push my glasses up my nose. Why is he even pretending that he cares?

"Don't lie to me Kyouya, I KNOW something's wrong. You've been staring at the screen motionless for the past 15minutes" he whined

"... I'm fine Tamaki, honest. I was just -"

"HIKARU! KAORU! STAY AWAY FROM MY HARUHI!" Yet again, Haruhi is more important. I pull a pair of earphones from one of the pockets in my crisp black school trousers, untangle them then plug them into the earphone slot in my Pineapple laptop. Opening up my Itunes, I saved the word document I was working on. I scroll through all my songs, damn I can't think of a song to listen to. Mentally, I shrug, and push the Shuffle button. I look down.

Teardrops on My Guitar By Taylor Swift

Oh the irony. I lean back in my chair and try to enjoy the music

"... I bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about. And she's got everything that I have to live without" I sing softly along with the melody playing in my ears. Without my knowledge, the argument between the other hosts had stopped, and they were staring at me, with varying degrees of shock on their faces.

"... That I can't even see anyone when he's with me. He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right. I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night. 'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. The only think that keeps me wishing on a wishing star. He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do. He walks by me, can't he tell that I can't breath? And there he goes, so perfectly. The kind of flawless I wish I could be. She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love. Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause"

I open my eyes again and stop myself slouching, straight away I look at my laptop screen. I load my email, then minimise it. I lean my head back again, closing my eyes.

"So I drive home alone, as I turn down the light. I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight" I check my watch. 5 pm. Time to close the host club for the day. I shut down my laptop, closing the lid softly, and put it in my bag. Grabbing my earphones and shove them back in my pocket. I look up at the others. They're all staring at me.

"It's 5 o'clock. You can all go" I walk straight through them towards the door

"Kyouya! WAAAIIIIITTTTTTT!" Tamaki yells at my back. Within seconds he's at my side.

"Who were you singing about?"

"When?"

"Just now"

"No one"

"C'mon I KNOW you were singing 'bout someone. Who?"

"... Guess"

"What hair do they have?"

"Yes or no questions Tamaki"

"..."

"..."

"Do I know them?"

I nod

"Are they female?"

I shake my head

"Male?"

I nod

"A-are they in the Host Club?"

I nod

"Is it one of the twins?"

I raise an eyebrow

"Yes or no Mommy dear"

I shake my head

"Mori?"

I shake my head

"Hunny?"

I shake my head

"... Haruhi?"

A short bark of laughter. Then, I shake my head

"M-m-me?"

"Yes"
