Hey everyone :) I'm back with a new story. I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did writing it. I feel that over the course of these couple of years, I have really grown as a writer and I'm really thankful to everyone on here for the support and to encourage me to keep writing. So this story it dedicated to all my readers.
Summary: A tragedy occured in Sakura's life, and now she isn't the same. She never lets anyone come close to her anymore. Her friends and family became very concerned and decided to take her to get help. But can the doctor figure out how to help her when she isn't willing to take the help? SS. Review please :)
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS. Clamp does :)
A 17 year old girl sat in her room looking at old photo albums. Her tears began falling and staining her fair skinned cheeks. A knock interrupted her sorrowful moment.
"Sakura. You missed dinner, so I brought up some food for you." Sakura Kinomoto's older brother Touya Kinomoto said.
"I'm not hungry. It's kinda the reason I didn't come down for dinner." Sakura said bitterly as she wiped away her tears.
"Please Sakura. Eat something. Your attitude is worrying dad." At the moment she heard 'dad' she shoved the photo albums under her pillows and got up to open the door. "That's my girl." Touya said as he walked in. He set the tray of food on Sakura's desk. He was about to turn around and leave until he noticed a corner of one of the albums under Sakura's pillow. He walked over to it and pulled it out.
"Don't touch them!" Sakura yelled as she ran over and snatched the album from her brother. "No one is supposed to touch them!"
"Sakura, you have to let it go! It's been 2 years!" Touya tried to explain to Sakura.
"I DON'T CARE!" Sakura screamed with a firey rage. "She's still with me! She didn't leave me! We promised each other we wouldn't leave each other!"
"Sakura! She's gone! You can't change it! Screaming that nothing happened won't change what happened! It never will!" Touya reasoned/
"No...no....no..." Sakura kept whispering. "NO!" She screamed. Touya grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
"Yes, Sakura. She's gone." He said slowly. Sakura kept whispering 'no' until she slowly slipped into unconciousness.
Downstairs
"She had another one of her episodes. Dad, we need to take her to get help. It's been 2 goddamn years! She clearly isn't getting any better." Touya explained to his father.
"I never thought it would come to this. How can a father take his own daughter to...to a center full of crazies? My daughter isn't crazy Touya." Fujitaka Kinomoto said.
"Dad, I know she isn't crazy. But, that's not the problem. The problen is that she isn't dealing with the grief properly. Even 2 years later she isn't back to normal. Clearly she needs to see someone who can help her through this." Touya tried to reason with his father.
Fujitaka sighed. "I guess you're right. I can't bear seeing my daughter in any more pain. I'll make the phone call right now." He walked over to phone, took out the phone book and looked for the number he was searching for.
"Hello?" said the receptionist on the other end.
"Hello, this is Fujitaka Kinomoto, and I would like to make an appointment for my daughter, Sakura Kinomoto."
"Yes sir. Is tomorrow 4:30pm alright for you?" she asked.
"Yes, that would be fine, thank you." He said.
"Alright sir."
"Thank you very much miss." He said and hung up the phone. He sat on his down in his couch and put his head in his hands, in a defeated manner, and wept.
In Sakura's Room, Sakura's POV
I'm running. I don't know where and why I'm running, just that I know running is all I can do. I see something infront of me, but far away. It's very faint. I try calling out to it, but I have no voice. I try yelling again, but still no voice. The object is getting farther from me and I start running faster to catch up to it. Suddenly, the object turns into her and I stop dead in my tracks.
I wake up with a jolt, drenched in my sweat. My face is wet from tears. I get up and walk over into my bathroom and look at my reflection in the mirror. It looks like I just came back from swimming. My eyes are red and my hair is all over the place. I'm still shaking from my dream...no...my nightmare. She wasn't supposed to leave...it wasn't supposed to happen.
I miss you...
End of Sakura's POV
Next Day, At School
"Hey, emo girl." A guy said to Sakura as she walked by. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to face the guy who made the comment.
"Hey, guy with no balls." She said bitterly with a weird smile. A couple of "oh my gosh's and ooo's began forming with the crowd around. "I would just like to say, next comment you make about me, may be your last. So watch what you say alright pre-schooler?" She said with sarcastic sweetness with a smile. She meant business. Nobody messed with her, unless they wanted to pain...just like the pain she's been suffering.
"Oh yeah?" He said with a smirk. "What are you gonna do? Scream and yell at me and walk away?" He laughed with his friends. Sakura rolled her eyes. She grabbed his shirt by the collar and threw him to the ground. He landed with a 'thud' and was yelling 'ow' as everyone else around stood by and watched. Sakura put her foot on his back and pressed deep and hard.
"What was that? I didn't hear what you said. Try again?" She said, obviously extremely pissed off.
"No-nothing. I said nothing." He squirmed.
"Apologize!" She demanded.
"N-no!" He said between moans of pain.
"I said apologize!" She yelled and pressed harder with her foot.
"Ok! I'm sorry!" He gave in.
"That's more like it." She picked him up on the gorund from his shirt and held him to her face. "Next time you decided to make a stupid comment, remember me and we'll see if you'd like to make that comment. Got it?" She said with fire in her eyes
"Y-yes." He whimpered.
"Miss Kinomoto!" Principal Keiko yelled. Sakura looked over the shoulder of the boy she was holding up. "Put that boy down this instant!"
"As you say." She dropped him to the floor and he lay there on the ground as his friends came to help him up.
"Come with me Miss Kinomoto." Principal Keiko ordered. Sakura sighed in agitation and followed the principal to her office.
Sakura was waiting outside Principal Keiko's office, when her father walked in and sat next to her.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" Sakura said with a question mark on her face.
"You're principal called. She said you got into trouble again." Her father said.
"Ugh, dad. It was nothing. She's just over reacting." Sakura said.
"We'll see about that after my meeting with her." He got up and knocked on the door and Principal Keiko answered.
"Hello Mr. Kinomoto. Please come in." She said.
20 minutes later
Fujitaka and Principal Keiko walked out of her office. Fujitaka clearly didn't look happy, and Sakura could see it instantly. She knew she was in deep trouble. But she pushed it off. She didn't give a rats ass anymore about anything.
"Sakura, you are excused from today's school day. You're father will be taking you home."
"Let's go Sakura." Fujitaka said. Sakura could sense the disappointment. But what did she care? No one knew how she felt. They could never know how she felt. It was a quiet ride home in the car. When they entered their home, Sakura walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
"Sakura, we need to talk."
"About what?" She said inocenntly.
"About how you've been suspended from school for 2 weeks for beating up a kid."
"Oh, who cares dad?" Sakura stood up. "He was asking for it, and I was generous enough to give it to him." She smiled.
"Sakura, this behaviour is unacceptable." Sakura just rolled her eyes at her father. "I have made an appointment with a therapist for you today."
Sakura's eyes widened. "What? I don't need some shrink analyzing me like I'm some sort of lab rat, alright?"
"You are going, and that's final." Mr. Kinomoto said with such athority, Sakura was a bit shaken. Her father never talked to her like that.
"Whatever." She said. Sakura began walking to the stairs until what her father said made her stop.
"What happened to my Sakura? The old Sakura. My little girl who was a good girl, and who was porper and well behaved?"
Sakura let out a quiet sigh and held back the emotion in her voice, and said, "she died on July 16, 2008." she ran back to her room, closed the door and fell to the ground in defeat. She buried herself in her pain and her tears.
