I push the blankets off me again so that I can go for a walk, I'm getting better slowly. My gunshot wounds have healed, now they're just sore. The poison is gone from my body and the host club visits me as much as the can. "Ja-chan~!!!!" A person tackles me in a hug and I stumble slightly but they catch me.

"Yes Mitsu-Kun?" I ask, we're on better terms lately. I've gotten him to stop blaming himself by threatening him, he has been more happy around me and on a random note, Haruhi is dating Tamaki. I told him I'd hunt him down and skin him if he hurt Haruhi and he had gone pale, despite me being in the hospital.

"Ja-chan, the nurses said we could take you out the hospital now! Isn't that great!?" Mitsukuni smiles, a small blush still on his face from me calling him 'Mitsu-Kun'. Kale has visited me, as well as Baranos but Kale was more frequent. "Okay, I'm feeling better anyway." I smile as Mitsukuni grabs my hand and tugs me down the hallway, "uh...Mitsukuni....my clothes?"

He stops, "oh yeah! Takashi and I bought you new clothes! We also had your panda hoodie fixed!" I feel tears well in my eyes and I hug him, "th-thank you Mitsukuni!" When I pull away, I also turn to Takashi. "Thanks as well Takashi." He grunts and I take the bag from his hands. "I'll be right back," I call.

Inside the bathroom, I sink to the floor. 'I have to get rid of the nightmares...' I think to myself as I look down at my wrist. Three small cuts, three slices from my nails. 'I can't let them see that.' I change quickly, thankful they bought my hoodie as well. Walking out the bathroom, I see both of them waiting in the hallway. "I hope I didn't make you wait too long," I speak when they stop talking or rather Mitsukuni stops talking about cake.

"Yay! Come on Ja-chan!" He drags me to the front desk and Takashi signs me out. Mitsukuni keeps a hold of my hand as we walk outside, I rub my eyes slightly, its bright. "Are you okay Ja-chan?" Mitsukuni asks and I nod. "Yeah, its just really bright." He frowns but takes me to the limo they have.

I pause slightly, "it's okay Jamie-chan. I'm here with you." I sigh and hold onto Mitsukuni's hand tighter as he whispers in my ear. "I'll have to get over it sometime, right?" I say with a shaky smile. Mitsukuni doesn't respond but helps me into the car. No one is waiting for me and I frown inwardly, 'of course. Who'd want someone as messed up as me?'

Mitsukuni pulls me out my thoughts by handing me a chocolate slice of cake and my mouth waters. "Arigato!" I shout and dig in quickly. "Mitsukuni.... What's today?" I ask slowly. "Its July 14 Ja-chan, why?" I look down at my hands, "nothing..." I mutter quietly. 'Its his birthday. Both of theirs actually.'

I look out the window and hum a small song they'd always sing to me before bed every night after Mom and Dad died. (A/N: If you don't know who they are, we're gonna have to have a one-on-one talk -,-)

After a while, I realize that we've stopped. I must've zoned for the entire ride. "Oh, we're here." I blink as Mitsukuni helps me out the car. "Surprise!" I blink in shock, I'm standing in front of someone's manor-estate-mansion? "What's this?" I ask and scan over the group of people.

"You're-" "out the-" "hospital!" The twins cheer as they hug me. Its really nice, everything is decorated in purple and blue. The twins probably designed it because they both know I can't stand to be in a lot of pink. Kale, the host club, Baranos and a couple of people I don't know are here. "Really? Thanks..." I mumble, I don't deserve to be celebrating today.

"Gee, you sound enthusiastic." Kyoya comments. "Yeah I am, its just..." I fake a huge smile, "thank you guys so much." The twins seem to accept that and turn to everyone else. "Now-" "let's-" "party!" They shout and use confetti poppers.

After a while, I finally get seated at a table by myself. Everybody kept smiling and congratulating me getting out the hospital. I stare down at the cup of soda in my hands. "What's today?" I hear Haruhi's voice from above me and I look at her, raising an eyebrow. "What?" I ask, confused.

"Who's birthday is it?" Haruhi continues. "Wha-? How'd you know about that?" I ask. "You just told me," I anime fall. "Then again you have that look that I always get on my Mom's birthday." She adds and I sit back in my seat. "So, who's birthday is it?" I stare down at my drink for a moment before answering.

"Ray's and Alec's." She nods her head then a confused expression covers her face. "What did happen to your other brother anyway? You never told anyone." I grimace, "I have my reasons." She raises an eyebrow at me, "and they are...?" Sighing, I push my cup to the side, "not important. If you want to know, Alec went missing a couple years after our parents died."

Haruhi looks surprised, "was he kidnapped?" I shrug, "I'm not sure. Even if he ran away, I still wouldn't be too upset with him even if I knew why." Haruhi stares at me in shock, "why not? What if he ran away because of his sadness?" She asks and I look away, "like I said. I wouldn't be upset, if he did come back I'd know the reasons he left."

Haruhi blinks, "and that would be...?" I sigh, "nothing, its not important." She stares at me a second longer, "are you going to write him or anything?" I give her a questioning glance, "who Ray?" She nods and I mutter an 'oh'. "I'll have to, even though I'm late." She nods, "go ahead. I'll tell the others you left." I thank her and walk away from the house.

'Haruhi is a little too laid back. I admit, that makes her perfect for that baka Tamaki. Whatever, doesn't matter that much to me.' I think to myself as I walk back to my house.

Its completely quiet, I close my eyes. 'I almost forgot what it felt like to be home...' Grabbing a pen and paper, I sit down on the couch. "How should I start this...." I mutter to myself and start the letter.
