"FREAKIN WAKE UP SAKURA!" a voice boomed downstairs. It was her father.
Sakura groaned. It was 7 a.m.! Why did her father try to deprive her from sleep every day? Grrrrrrrrrrr.
"I DID NOT JUST HEAR THAT GROAN. WAKE UP," her father demanded.
Sakura, a thirteen year old girl living with only her father, had to wake up every day to work and cook breakfast. Her mother Nadeshiko had died when she was only three. Sakura painfully lived with her father, slowly growing older. She was a beautiful, curious girl who was determined and set her mind on whatever she wanted to do. She had golden hair with emerald eyes. She had puppy eyes, and cute lips which she pouted when she was pissed. It was true how every boy would chase after her, but somehow she never ended up having the true guy she wanted.
Sakura dressed with fatigue and stomped downstairs. She had to make breakfast and pack her father's bags for him to go to work.
Her father was very strict, and had no more feelings for Sakura than his wife that died. Every day he would force her to fix him breakfast and pack his bags for him to go to work. Not one day would he let her go to the movies with her friends or have fun at the mall. Not once. Never. He seemed hopeless without Sakura because he was so used to ordering around people to make him happy. There was never enough time for her to do her homework because there was an endless amount of chores. Dishes, sweeping floors, washing the floor, cleaning the table… the list went on and on.
Sakura sighed. Only ten more minutes until her father left to work. She quickly packed his bag, trying to remember the things he needed.
"Okay, I packed your bags," Said Sakura.
He snatched it from her hands and walked out the door. Disappointed, Sakura watched him disappear down the road. Was this how he thanked her every day?
Sakura knew that he was her father and she shouldn't hate him, but who wouldn't? He never said 'good morning' or 'good night' as any other father would. He never waved at her. Other girls would be embarrassed if dads did that to them, but Sakura envied this. For once, she wanted to feel loved. Loved by someone close to her, not just her friends.
Maybe today, I can run away, Far away.. A place where there is freedom. A place where there is Love. A place…unlike here. Tomorrow I could leave. I want to leave this place forever…
Sakura's mind raced and wondered. There was no school today, so she would call up her best friend, Tomoyo, to tell her the plan. She had planned this for years, but never had the courage to escape. She couldn't wait to get out of her home town.
…………………………..
Ring Ring! Ring Ring!
"hello?" answered Tomoyo.
"TOMOYO!" Sakura yelled from the other line. "I MISSED YOU! IT'S BEEN 24 HOURS SINCE I'VE LAST SEEN YOU!"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes. Her best friend was crazy…yet lovely. Strange.
"Yes, I know, you miss me terribly. SO… is there something you intend on telling me?"
"Duh. About the plan…"
Tomoyo glanced around her room, making sure no one was listening.
"Oh that. Yeah, so are you ever gonna run away? What bout me, huh? Are you just gonna leave me here alone? Am I leaving with you?" Tomoyo inquired.
"Uh……………."
There was a long, awkward silence.
"COME WITH ME, IT CAN BE FUN, I CANT GO ON WITHOUT YOU—"
"--Sakura, stop. Puh-LEASE. That was like…half sarcasm. What do you expect me to do? I can't run away with you. It was your prerogative in the first place. Even If I do leave with you, what would I do? I'm useless. I'm not the one who wants to leave my home, anyway. If I were you, I would just deal with your dad. It's better that way, anyway. Not blindly running away not knowing where to go."
Another awkward silence followed.
Tomoyo, realizing what she said to interrupt, turned bright red. She had turned down her best friend's self esteem. She knew what she said was true, but she never should have blabbed it out. Arghh. I'm such a stupid rambler. Why can't I just shut up for once? Great, now Sakura's mad at me. What if she leaves today? I won't even be able to see her again because she's pissed at me…
Just then Sakura hung up.
Crap. She is mad at me.
…………………………………………………….
Sakura sat dumbly on her bed, not knowing what to feel. Her best friend had just drained emotions from her. Whatever, I don't care. I'm leaving, whether it's today or tomorrow. Might as well be now or never…
I'm gonna find that place. No matter how long it takes…
