Thanks Chikka for understanding. It really was hard to deal. But after using about 6 pages in my diary and crying to my other friends, I got out of it ok.
Anyways, this is the second installment of my story. I hope you like it so far and please stick with me here!
Disclaimer: These aren't my characters and they won't ever be, but it is my storyline!
The Night That Changed It All
HER POV
I looked down on the cold black asphalt and I jumped. Or at least I tried to. I had pushed off the railing but strong arms held me back and I was suspended above the city streets. It's going to be alright. I've got you," a calm male voice said to me. He, whoever he was, pulled me back onto the bridge and onto my feet. I looked behind me and saw a boy around my age looking at me inquisitively.
He was actually very good looking. He had messy brown hair and light brown shimmering eyes. He was in a black school uniform and somehow, I could just tell he was from a rich family. He looked me in the eyes and said, "Why did you jump?" I couldn't talk. My tongue felt heavy and I wasn't able to reply at first. After standing there gaping for a minute or two, I finally found my voice.
"Because, I just lost my love and I think a friend." He looked at me and smiled. "Is that so?" I looked at him, expecting him to ask more questions and I wasn't wrong, it just wasn't the question I was expecting. "I'm Li Syaoran. What's your name?" I was so sure he was going to continue asking about why I had attempted suicide but he didn't. "My name is… Kinomoto Sakura," I replied slowly.
"Nice to meet you," he said while smiling a childish grin. Suddenly, I felt a flutter in the place my broken heart was supposed to be. I blushed and muttered a "Nice to meet you too." Then I looked at my watch and said "I better be going home now. Thanks for saving me," and smiled the first time that night. I then turned on my heel and left him standing there.
HIS POV
It had been a week since I met Kinomoto Sakura on that bridge but I still couldn't get her out of my mind. No matter where I was- at school, home or just hanging with my friends- I just couldn't stop thinking about that mysterious girl. One question kept running through my head and I had thought of so many possible answers that I felt my head would explode. What in the world could push a girl like that to want to end her life? There was nothing I wanted more at that point in my life than to see Sakura again. Later that week, I got my wish.
I had just walked into the food court, ready to pig out on some fast food when I saw her petit frame and curtain of brown hair. I had to look twice in case it wasn't her but when she turned around, I saw her magnificent green eyes and just knew it was her. I bound across the food court and tapped her on the shoulder. Bad move. She turned around and accidentally hit me. I won't admit it to her, but it actually hurt.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry," she apologized. I lifted my head up and she gasped. "Syaoran?" she said hesitantly. I rubbed the back of my neck and replied sheepishly, " Yeah… It's me. Hi…" God did that sound stupid. I thought I had blown my chance and I must have looked like more of an idiot than I felt. But she simply looked at me, smiled and said, "Hi,"
It was just one simple word. It was just a greeting without much sentimental value but it didn't matter. I felt on top of the world and without thinking, 6 words popped out of my mouth. "Will you go out with me?" Then reality hit me and I realized what I had just done. For an instant, the possibility of rejection ran through my head and refused to leave me alone. But after what seemed like an eternity, she replied. "I'd love to."
Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't be able to understand how much those three words meant to me. With those three words, all the thoughts I had about her and all the time I had spent thinking seemed worth it. Even though I felt as if a volcano had just erupted within me, I decided to play it cool. "So I'll see you at 7 tomorrow?" I asked. "That sounds great," she said as she scribbled down her phone number and address on a napkin.
I was on top of the world and I felt great. That was until he called me that night.
So how was that chapter? Am I evil for having such a cliffy? Anyways I promise to update soon!
