My Last Song Ever

Chapter 11: Live Your Life

"Just go...", Tengoku turned away from the group, wrapping her arms around herself as she waited for them to leave. They didn't. Instead, they were silent as Mori quietly walked up behind Tengoku and placed his hands on her shoulders. This caused Tengoku to flinch at his touch. "Just do what you think is right....What you want..", he murmured.

Tengoku closed her eyes, "I am...", she whispered.

"Ten-chan....", Hunny felt like he was going to cry, "We came cause...we all love you. You're part of our family...".

"You don't understand....You couldn't...", Tengoku whispered.

"Maybe if you actually opened up to us for once we would understand! Tell us why! What is your logic for all of this?!", Haruhi questioned, frustration clear in her voice and on her face. She didn't understand why Tengoku was doing this.

"Because I have to. Leaving...I hurt people! I was being selfish by just disappearing like that! I want to make things right and make everyone happy again!", Tengoku replied, pulling away from Mori and facing them once more, "You have no idea what this is like...!".

"Apparently not. None of us are pop stars. But we do know what it's like having someone you care about leave for selfish reasons, or just because they think they have to. Putting themselves back into torture, suffering. You're just like every other pop star. Selfish. It was foolish to think you were different...", Haruhi then turned and ran out of the room. If Tengoku wanted to be that way then fine. Let her. Haruhi was upset, tears now streaking her face as she ran down a hallway, following the signs that said 'exit' on them.

"See...None of you understand...", Tengoku murmured, looking away. Haruhi's words had hit the spot, and hit it good because now tears began to streak her face. By now, because of all this crying, her make up was smudged over her tear streaked face. "Just go home...I'll be fine...Just go...", she whispered, trying to choke back her sobs.

"An idea would be nice now...", Tamaki stated as the guards closed in on them. Kyoya had nothing. No plan. No bright ideas to get them out of this situation. They were trapped. They were caught. Just like mice cornered by a cat. "Come quietly. Don't fight back", stated one of the guards as they slowly approached them. It would seem the two had no escape.

Suddenly, all the guards were sent flying off of their feet and onto the ground as two decorative Disco balls designed for shows were sent crashing into their legs, making a domino's effect as they all crashed to the floor.

"Strike!", exclaimed two voices in unison. Tamaki and Kyoya looked up from the crowd of fallen guards to see Hikaru and Kaoru standing there. "Well what are you two waiting for?!", Hikaru questioned. "We have a pop star to save", Kaoru finished. Tamaki and Kyoya quickly stepped over the fallen guards and followed the twins down the hallway.

"Why didn't you two respond to us for a while?", Tamaki asked as they ran.

"Tengoku's mom caught us. She's quite nasty. She took our phones and smashed them, and then she was going to call security but Kaoru and I backed her into a closet and locked her in there while we came to help out you and the others", Hikaru stated with a grin.

"So where is everyone else? Did you find Mori..?", Kaoru asked.

"I would assume Hunny and Haruhi made it to Tengoku's room safely since most of the guards followed us. I'm not sure where Mori is", Kyoya replied.

"Then let's head to Tengoku's dressing room", Kaoru stated, now looking ahead as they continued to make their way through the halls.

---

"You won't be fine because you aren't following your heart. You're following your fear and your guilt now. Or are you just scared because you found people that actually care and don't want to see you get hurt? You're pushing us away when all we want to do is help...", Hunny's gaze shifted as he turned his back towards Tengoku, "We don't want you to get hurt. But we can't force you to do something. We won't try. So if you want to stay here Ten-chan, then we'll go...and we'll leave you alone. You won't hear from any of us...". Hunny's sobs could be heard in his voice as he began to cry, his hands tightening into fists.

"I never asked for this...", Tengoku whispered.

"You did", Mori began, "When you left and came to Ouran. Became friends with us. You asked for people to care.....And now you're running away. Back into your fear filled world...".

"Takashi...we'll wait outside for you. I'm going to find Haruhi...", Hunny stated, now about to leave the room when an alarm suddenly began to sound.

"Intruder alert. Intruder alert. All security to Tengoku Hiramatsu's dressing room. All security head to Tengoku Hiramatsu's room immediately!", an announcement called over an intercom through out the building. Just then, Tamaki, Kyoya, and the twins entered the room.

"Come on!", Kaoru waved to them.

"We have to go!", Hikaru finished.

"Where's Haruhi...?!", Tamaki suddenly called out, noting she wasn't in the room.

"She's gone...you guys should go as well. Get out of here before they catch you! I'm sorry but none of this would have worked out in the end! You have to go, please!", Tengoku exclaimed, but her cries were a waste as a swarm of guards appeared at the door way, her mother standing there with a displeased look on her face as well, gripping Haruhi's shirt.

"You are all in big trouble", she stated, pushing Haruhi into the room and towards the others.

Tengoku quickly walked to her mother, "Mother, leave them alone! They were just about to leave and–", but a smack filled the air as hand met flesh and Tengoku's head jerked to the side.

"I don't want to hear it. I bet you planned this along with your little friends. You're in enough trouble now as it is so keep your mouth shut!", her mother hissed. Tengoku hung her head, a red hand print appearing on her cheek where her mother had slapped her. She stayed silent as her mother walked past her.

"All of you are under arrest. Tres-passing when you had no right to be here! You were forbidden to approach Tengoku!", her mother stated.

"I don't like you...", Haruhi stated, her voice weak at first. Tengoku's mother turned, raising a brow at Haruhi. "Excuse me?", she walked towards her. "I don't like you", Haruhi stated with more confidence, "You aren't a parent. You are not a mother!". Her mother raised her hand, about to strike Haruhi when Tengoku got in the way, receiving another harsh slap to the face.

"Don't...touch them...", Tengoku looked at her mother, "Just let them go. You have me back. Your money back. I'm not going anywhere...".

"Ten-chan...", Hunny and everyone else was surprised that Tengoku had stepped in to protect Haruhi.

Her mother looked around the room at them and then back at Tengoku, "Fine. But they will be escorted off the property", her mother turned and headed for the door, pausing for a moment, "Oh, and Tengoku. Your plane leaves tonight after the concert". And with that, her mother was gone and the guards were ready to escort everyone out.

"Please, give us a minute", Tengoku asked the guards. "Two minutes", they said before closing the door, giving them time for their final farewells.

"Why did you do that...?", Haruhi asked.

"Because it's me she should hit...not you...", Tengoku replied.

"She shouldn't hit anyone, especially you", Haruhi stated firmly, placing a hand on Tengoku's shoulder, "You don't need this. Why don't you take a hold of your life and live it your way?!".

"I'm sorry you guys came all this way for nothing. You should all go now before she throws another hissy fit...", Tengoku stated, pulling away from Haruhi and turning around to go into the bathroom. Someone suddenly grabbed her hand and turned her back around, pulling her into a tight embrace, lips meeting. It was Mori. And they were now kissing. Everyone stared in surprise at this.

They pulled away a moment later and Mori looked down at her quietly. He was hoping she would change her mind. That she would come back with them. But before she could even say anything after the shock of being kissed, the door was opened and the security came in. They escorted the group out of Tengoku's room and off of the property, where the twins mother was waiting for them all.

Tengoku dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around herself. "Why does it hurt...?", she whispered, more tears flowing. Her heart was aching and she wasn't sure why. Why had Mori kissed her like that? Why had everyone come in the first place? Now she was in pain.

"Why don't you take a hold of your life and live it your way?!".

Haruhi's words echoed in her head. "I don't want to get on that plane...I don't want to go to America. I don't want to serve them anymore....I don't want to be trapped, caged like a wild animal...", Tengoku lifted her head through her sobs. But she couldn't do anything now, could she?

---

"Tengoku? Come out now, you have a show to finish!", her mother called from the other side of the door. But she received no reply. She growled and opened the door, stepping into the room. But she didn't see her in there. She quickly checked the bathroom and the closet but she wasn't there. That was when she noticed the note taped to the dressing room mirror. She stepped over to it, pulling the piece of paper from the mirror and closer to her so she could read it.

Mom,

I'm finally following my heart. I'm not running away, but I'm not staying here either. I'm an adult now and I don't need to be pushed around by you for the rest of my life. You better find another way of income because this one is finished.

Goodbye, Tengoku

She couldn't believe what she was reading. After Tengoku just told her she wasn't going anywhere! She growled, crumpling the note and taking her cell phone from her pocket and dialing 911. Kidnaped pop star. That was what she told them. She even described the people who had 'kidnaped' her. The host club.

---

Tengoku pulled out her cell phone as she ran down the city street now. She wasn't sure where the Host club had headed so she had to get a hold of him. Luckily she had found her cell phone in her mothers purse, which she had left in her dressing room. She dialed Tamaki's number.

---

As they all sat in the limo with Hikaru and Karou's mother, their heads were hung low. They had failed at their mission and just seeing what Tengoku's mother was like was disturbing. Just thinking that she lived like that her whole life. Getting hit. If only they could have brought her out of that.

Just then, Tamaki's cell phone rang. He pulled it from his pocket and looked at it oddly. It still read 'Kai's Cell'. He opened it and placed the phone to his ear. "Hello?", he asked.

"Tamaki, please put me on speaker. It's Tengoku", Tengoku called from the phone. Tamaki obeyed and pulled the phone from his ear, pressing the speaker button so everyone can hear. "Ok, you're on speaker", he stated. Everyone looked at him oddly, wondering who it was until they heard the voice.

"I'm sorry guys! I'm such and idiot! I should have went with you but I was in shock and couldn't really say anything because...well you know...But I've made my decision now. I'm following my heart!", Tengoku stated with confidence.

Smiles filled the limo as they heard this. So they didn't fail their mission after all. "Where are you? We'll come pick you up!", Haruhi asked.

"Uhm...Right now I'm by a Korean BBQ resturant, it's called Korean Grill House. But I can't stand here. My mother will most likely flip and have people come out to look for me so I have to keep moving...", she replied as she continued running through the crowded streets.

Meanwhile, Kyoya was figuring out a place they could meet on his laptop. "Alright, Tengoku. Do you know where the Lotus Flower, flower shop is located?", he questioned.

"Uhm...I think so. I remember driving by it on the way to the concert", she replied.

"Alright, meet us there. Driver, Lotus Flower shop please", Kyoya called to the driver as he hung up Tamaki's phone and handed it back to him.

"I hope you all know you may get into a lot of trouble for this", Yuzuha stated.

"We know", the twins spoke up in unison.

"But Ten-chan is our friend...we'll help her no matter what!", Hunny exclaimed.

---

Tengoku hung up her cell phone as she continued making her way through the crowds. But the problem was, the more she ran, the more people stared, the more people started to recognize her. This was not good.
