Background info: 7 years ago, ryusaki and sakura were 10 years old. ryusaki had an unrequinted love for his childhood friend sakura. Sakura is traumatized from seeing the crash, because of that crash, ryusaki has a giant scar across his chest as well as on the side of his face. But since the accident, sakura couldn't seem to look at ryusaki the same way she used to. She felt it was her fault he almost got killed.
All I wanted was for you to be in my arms. Instead, I found beautiful red rubies spilling out from this hole in my chest where my heart used to be. I loved you, more than I thought that I could ever love anyone. But, things never turn out the way we want them to. In this life, there's no such thing as "happily ever after", only pain. What is love? Who decided it was so great? All it brings is trouble, nothing more. If you're looking for the one thing that will fulfil your every wish, I'm telling you right now, it isn't love. All I can say is, after something big happens, nothing will ever be the same as it once was. Cherish these precious moments you have with each other, once its all over, and everything that you used to love has ended, all you have left is yourself. Only you can support your own life…
FLASH
7 years ago….
Sakura: Hey, hey! Ryusaki, look! I found a lizard!
Ryusaki: …. You know, you're pretty strange, usually girls get scared by these kinds of things.
Sakura: heh heh =D
Ryusaki: Hey sakura….
Sakura: hmm?
Ryusaki: its nothing….
Sakura: … jeeze, can't you ever finish what you want to say?
Ryusaki: …..
(The sun starts to set on the horizon of the sea)
Sakura: (looks at the sunset) so pretty….
Ryusaki: hmph, yeah… *whispers to self: but its not as pretty as you are…*
Sakura: did you say something?
Ryusaki: umm… we should get going, its getting pretty late.
Sakura: okay!
(Both walking home)
Sakura: (runs to ryusaki who's trying to look cool, and takes his hand) haha, why are you trying to act so cool all the time?
Ryusaki: … (Blush)
Sakura: ehh?? Why are you blushing?? (Smirks)
Ryusaki: you're imagining things; it's just the sunset bouncing off my face. Why do you…… (Sakura kisses him on the cheek and he hides his face under his hair)…… what was that for?
Sakura: hmm….. I guess it's because I like you
Ryusaki: …….. *whispers to self: I like you too*
Sakura: (hears him but pretends she didn't) huh?
Ryusaki: ITS NOTHING
Sakura: che, stop muttering to yourself mummbler.
Ryusaki: nah
(They run home before the sun is down with holding each other's hands. Suddenly a fast swerving car comes out of nowhere and sakura doesn't see it)
Ryusaki: SAKURA, WATCH OUT!!! (Pushes sakura out of the way)
SCREEECH!!! BAM!!
Sakura: RYUSAKI!!!
(In the hospital after the accident)
Sakura: Ryusaki! Ryusaki!! Hang on!
(Later at sakura's house…)
Keitarou(sakura's dad): I CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYMORE!! BLAH BLAH BLAH (hateful comments) ….. I'm……. leaving…..
Lucia (sakura's mom): FINE! THEN GO! I'm going to head back to my home town with sakura and WE'LL live a happier life without YOU
Sakura: (quietly listing in the hallway to her parent fight) *sob sob* Ryusaki……. I'm sorry, but it looks like I won't be able to keep our promise….. {2 years earlier, they made a pinky promise that they would never be far apart from each other, and will always stay friends no matter what}
