A Broken Promise

Chapter 1: A Broken Promise

It's been 6 years and 363 days. Sakura crossed out another day on her calender. Today was the 2553th day since Syaoran left her for Hong Kong. Tomorrow would be the exact day he left. She sighed, hugging the calender in her arms, falling back onto her bed. Tomorrow she will see his sweet face again.

That's what he had promised 6 years and 364 days ago. He had promised that he'd return. To Sakura's side, in exactly 7 years time. Tomorrow was that day. She stared at the ceiling, heart beating faster than it has ever had before.

I wonder if he's changed? Maybe he looks different? What if he loves somebody else already? Maybe he's found somebody in Hong Kong? Sakura closed her eyes, trying to imagine him, but couldn't. He's 18 this year. And me too. He must look different. No doubt about it. Tomorrow, I will meet him at the airport, and see him again. Tomorrow, I will confess to him that I like him too. I never did give him an answer.....

Sakura put down the calender and reached for the teddy bear. It was still in perfect shape, sitting on her bed. She picked it up and hugged it.

"Syaoran's coming tomorrow!" She whispered to the teddy bear quietly.

She sat up, watching her clock tick. Tick...............tick...............tick...............Time was going so slowly.

Come on clock....hurry up!

She lay back down on her bed. Putting the teddy bear back into its original place, and went under her covers. Watching the ceiling, listening to the clock, and thinking about tomorrow, she slowly fell asleep.

Ring! Ring!

Sakura's alarm clock interrupted Sakura's heavy sleep.

"Huh?" Sakura rolled over, reaching for the clock. Shut up, clock! I don't have work today! She slammed her hand on the clock, making it silent again. 10 seconds later, another alarm clock rang, she slammed that one as well, suffering the same fate was the last alarm clock. Another 10 seconds passed and her last clock rang. Finally, she sat up, and turn off the alarm properly.

18 years old and I'm still like always, late! She looked at the clock, wondering why she had set all three clocks to wake her up at 7:30. She was about to fall back to sleep when she remembered.

Syaoran! I have to go to the airport today! Sakura set down the clock that was in her hands, and quickly changed into a light pink t-shirt and a hot pink mini-skirt, and combed her auburned colored, shoulder-length hair, putting it up the way she did 7 years ago. She looked at herself in the mirror.

Would make-up overdo it? She thought to herself. Yeah.... She decided not to put on any make-up. She grabbed her bag with her Sakura cards, cell phone, house and car keys in it and practically jumped down the stairs.

"'Morning!" She yelled out.

"Good morning, Sakura." Sakura's father said to her, looking up from his newspaper.

"Morning squirt." Touya said. "Has the world gone upside down? The monster woke up at 7:30 today!"

Sakura decided to ignore the comment, sitting down to eat the breakfast Touya had made.

She ate quickly, then put her dishes in the sink.

"I'm leaving now. Bye dad! Bye Touya!" She said quickly, running out the door and driving off in her white car.

She arrived at the airport early. Before Syaoran's plane even arrived. Good, I got here early. She went to a coffee shop at the airport and ordered a coffee.

She took her coffee and sat down at a table, slowly sipping it.

Soon, 7:30 became 8:00. then 8:00 became 8:25. In five minutes Syaoran would be arriving! Sakura's heart beat faster and faster. She sat at the table, playing with the empty coffee cup.

One minute passed......

Two minutes passed.....

Three minutes passed.....

Four mintues passed.......

Time seemed to have stopped, because the fifth minute refused to come.

Four minutes....

Four mintues....

Finally, the fifth minute came. Sakura stood up, throwing the empty cup in the trash can. She walked over to the arrival gate (A/N I really don't know what it's called, sorry!), and waited patiently.

"Plane 43 from Hong Kong to Japan have arrived." An announcer announced. I watched the gate open, letting a swarm of people out, meeting their loved ones, friends, and family.

I watched everyone from plane 43 come out. No Syaoran. He told Sakura he'd be on plane 43!

Where is he? Maybe he didn't catch the first plane. Maybe he's on plane 44. Sakura decided to wait for plane 44. It came an hour later. At 9:30. She looked for Syaoran in the huge crowd of people, but he wasn't there.

No! He promised me! Sakura leaned against the railing. I'm gunna wait for plane 45 to come. He must be on that one! That plane was supposed to come at 10:30, but there was a delay, so it ended up coming at 11.

Syaoran, where are you? Sakura spoke in her mind, as she watched for a brown haired boy come out of the arrival gate. But he didn't come out. He's broken his promise. Sakura thought sadly. I'm never gunna forgive him for this.

Sakura drove around randomly, with no set destination. She was going to go to Penguin Park with Syaoran when she picked him up. But now that he wasn't there, she didn't know where to go. She didn't want to go home. She'd start crying as soon as she went home and saw that teddy bear. She wouldn't be able to take it.

But Sakura, thinking she was driving around with no destination, ended up driving to Penguin Park. She parked at a parallel parking, and sat on the swings at Penguin Park. She was supposed to confess that she loved Syaoran too. Right here at Penguin Park. This park meant alot to Sakura because a lot had happened here.

She sat on the swings quietly, without swinging, for a while. Why? Why did he break his promise? She sat on the swing, tears rolling down her soft, rosy cheeks.Maybe he didn't keep his promise in mind. Maybe he's meeting his girlfriend in Hong Kong right now. Forgetting about me.....

Sakura stood up, drying her tears with the back of her hand. I will not cry. Everything will be okay. She walked back to where she parked her car and drove home.

As soon as she came home, the phone rang.

"Touya? Dad? Anyone?" She yelled into an empty house while trying to take off her shoes. They had both left for work after Sakura left.

Ugh, no one's home! Sakura finally managed to take her shoes off and ran into the living room to pick up the phone.

"Hello? Sakura speaking!" She said into the phone.

"Sakura? It's me, Meilin! You've got to come to Hong Kong right now!" Meilin's voice was pure worry, making Sakura worry as well.
