You Promised to Catch Me When I Fall

By: miyuki-kawaii25

"I promise…"

"Really?"

"Of course. I'll catch you when you fall."

That stung. He said that he'd catch me when I fall, but where is he when I fell? Where was he when I needed him most?

A simple answer for a simple question. He was right in front of me, with my best friend, hand in hand.

It hurts. Of course it hurts. Why wouldn't it? I loved him for almost six years. Since I first met him, I knew that I was attracted to him instantly. Despite his cold-attitude towards me, I still fought hard to break down the "barrier" around him. When I finally did, I thought he liked me. I was so sure.

But when I saw him comfort my friend, I'm not sure anymore.

Oh Syaoran Li, when will you notice how I feel towards you? When will you notice the way I act when you're around.

You said that you'll be there when I needed you most. You'll never leave my side. But why did you leave me at the time I needed you most? Why did you choose her over me? Is it because she's prettier than me? Or is it because she's richer than me?

When my dad left, you where there. You consoled me; you were with me 'till the end. When I was failing, you were there to cheer me up, never leaving my side until a smile tugged my lips. But when the greatest trial came, where were you? You said that you'd be there. You promised.

Why did you catch Tomoyo instead of me? We're best of friends since fourth grade. We stick together through thick and thin, through happiness and sadness. Our friends even commented that we look like a couple.

Tomoyo broke up with her recent boyfriend, and my brother, my only family left, died. She came running to your arms, and so did I. But why did you choose to comfort her, instead of me? Why did you wipe her tears away, instead of mine, which you usually do? Why did you stayed with her all the time and did not even bother on comforting me?

The day when he asked me to call him by his first name made me so happy. I call him "Syaoran" and he calls me "Sakura."

But one time he said, "Sakura, don't call me by my first name." I asked him why.

Why?

"Sakura, isn't it obvious? He loves Tomoyo more than you…"

He loves Tomoyo…

More than you…

It kept on drumming inside my head. Like a mantra that went on and on. Like a prayer that I usually utter when I need guidance.

I won't cry… I'll never cry. I need to be strong. I'll support my two best friends.

But hiding the fact that it is hurting me is really hard. Holding back tears is not hard, but smiling sincerely for the two of them is.

But what can I do now? They're in front of me, smiling sincerely and asked, "Sakura-chan, aren't you glad for the both of us?"

All I can do now is nod and say, "Of course I am. Congratulations to the both of you. Li and Tomoyo."

Syaoran- I mean Li- smiled and kissed my best friend, Tomoyo, in front of me.

FIN

A/N: Tragic, I know. I know how Sakura feels. To see the person you loved the most caresses and comfort your best friend. When promises aren't kept. FLAMES ARE WELCOMED, but mind you, I have a friend who is a flamer, she might go after you. Just kidding.
