Angel
Black-Angel-001: for someone in my family that i used to hold very near to my heart.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song or CardCaptor Sakura.
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"You know I hate to sing in public."
"But you're so good at it! And the entire town deserves to know!"
"Madison."
"For me?"
Sakura stared at her best friend with helpless eyes. Madison's own colbat blue eyes pleaded and begged until Sakura finally gave in. Squealing with delight Madison dragged an unwilling Sakura to the karoke stage at the center of the Fall Carnival. There wasn't much of a line at the stage. The man running the machinery for the attraction gazed at them with a bored expression.
"Both of you gonna sing?"
"Nope, just her." Madison gave a little push. Sakura blushed lightly.
The man grunted in reply and told her to wait until the other girl was done. Until then, he said, just find a song for when her turn came. Madison said she was going to go find a place to sit, leaving Sakura alone. Thumbing through the laminated pages of a notebook, she found something that caught her eye. Smiling to herself, Sakura waited.
Apparently she didn't have to wait very long; the current singer was terrible. People were leaving or asleep by the time Sakura got on stage. Taking a deep, shaky breath, she nodded to the man and heard the soft sound of a piano. Intrigued, the ones leaving stopped and waited. Some of those that were asleep were woken up. After a few short moments, Sakura began.
"It's been five months, since you went away Left without a word, nothing to say (nothing to say)
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul But it wasn't good enough for you, oh no, so I asked God..."
At first, her voice was unsure and soft. But as her emotions grew, so did her voice. Sakura got louder, more confident and sure of herself as she sang the song she found most fitting. Slowly she began to move across the small wooden stage and to sway to the music. The crowd gave her their full attention.
"God send me an angel from the heavens above Send me an angel to heal my broken heart From being in love Cause all I do is cry God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes.."
Maybe the words she sung of so whole heartedly were true. Maybe nothing. They were true. Her heart was broken into a million pieces, shattered like delicate glass. All because she made the mistake of loving someone who couldn't stay in her life. It had been almost two years or so since he left, promising to come back. He never did. She still cried when the night was long and lonely, her friends offering little comfort. There was no angel to come to her.
"And I know it might sound crazy,
But after all that I still loved you.."
At those lines, a pair of brown eyes jumped to the stage. It was evident that some hope still shined in their depths, a hope that made him come back. If only she would look at him, then there might be some unspoken understanding between them. He was back, back to regain her love and mend broken bridges. Possibly even to rebuild them.
"You wanna come back in my life But now there's something that I have to do I have to tell the one that I once adored That he cant have my love no mo'
My heart cant take no more lies And my eyes are all out of cries, so God.."
Once again, those brown eyes starred at the ground again. Who was he fooling? It was pretty clear to him that she didn't want him back. He had lied to her, promising to return in a few months but never did. Many opportunities had arose to make it possible for him to return but he had never taken them. It tore at him, what he did. The pain Sakura was suffering clear as day, fresh and still bleeding. He thought about turning away, but changed his mind. This would be the last time he would see her, and by God, he was going to listen to his angel's voice and remember it forever. That would be all he could do, remember.
"God send me an angel from the heavens above Send me an angel to heal my broken heart From being in love Cause all I do is cry (all I do is cry)
God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes (send me an angel).."
For some reason, Sakura felt a set of eyes on her. Duh! Everyone withing hearing distance of the speakers were starring at her. But this...this was a diffrent feeling. Like someone from a long time ago was watching her, wanting her back. Her emerald green orbs got softer for a split second. He couldn't be here. He shouldn't be here. Get real, why would he come back now? Because he had to hear this. He always said Fate was strange, changing and rewriting itself and Destiny constantly. Life was cruel that way. Her eyes hardened and tears welled up, even then. She hoped he felt like crap after this. No, she didn't really, but Sakura was beyond caring right then.
"Now you had me on my knees Begging God please to Send you back to me I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep And you made me feel like I could not breathe.."
This was true, in a very literal sense. He'd always taken her breath away somehow. The way he talked, moved, enerything made her go weak in the knees. It sort of scared her the way he had such power of her. She hoped this next part would make him realise something, anything.
"When I, all I wanted to do was feel your touch And to give you all of my love (give you all of my love)
But you took my love for granted All my love and now but you cant have it, oh God..
God send me an angel from the heavens above Send me an angel to heal my broken heart From being in love Cause all I do is cry ( is cry)
God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes
Ohh ohh god send me, god send me an angel An angel Wipe the tears from my eyes Send me an angel from the heavens above Send me an angel, god send me an angel From being in love Send me an angel Oh god Send me an angel"
Sakura finished and lowered the microphone from her mouth. Turning away, the crowd didn't see tears stream down her face. Madison met her at the stairs, babbling excitedly. After seeing Sakura, Madison tried to comfort her friend. Putting an arm around her shoulder, Madison led Sakura to the shade of a group of trees. Sitting down on the soft green grass Madison went to get something for them to drink. Leaning back against the wood, Sakura closed her eyes.
Madison came back a few minutes later and found Sakura starring up at the sky through the branches. Getting closer she heard Sakura mumbling something. Leaning forward she made out a few words.
"No more...never again..I won't let him."
"Sakura?"
Madison place a hand gently on Sakura's shoulders. Sakura jumped. Looking into her friend's eyes, Madison was shocked to see how much pain was there.
"What's wrong?"
"He came back, Madison. He came back and expected me to take him back into my heart. After this long, he finally comes and I'm trying to forget him, what was between us, but then..." she burst into tears.
"Shhh. Hush now. It's okay." Madison held her friend close and rubbed her back. "Don't worry Sakura. Things will look up. You'll see."
"I wish I could believe that Madison. But I can't. I just can't go through this again. I'm tired. So tired..."
From the shadows of a nearby area, Li stared at the scene and then walked away, his heart heavy and full of sorrow.
Black-Angel-001: done.
