A couple of sharp intake of breaths reached my ears as those words escaped my lips. Well no one could exactly blame them, they did come to see Sakura Kinomoto and Eriol Hiiragizawa getting married, and here the bride and groom are standing at the alter refusing to get married. But I was never your everyday bride in love with the groom, I am more like the ex bride in love with the groom's best friend, go figure.
I am flooded with relief as I walk down those steps sending a silent prayer to god for not letting me make the biggest mistake of my life.
"You have to go to Syaoran "Tomoyo whispered in my ear, a warm smile flooding her face.
Yes, I do have to go to Syaoran and tell him the truth.
I never was really in love with Eriol; it was always Syaoran, back then and even now.
"Taxi" I shouted as I ran, my white gown flowing behind me, the sun shining upon my glowing face. Heads turned, I received the most appalled looks, people could muster but on that day I really didn't care.
"As I sat in the taxi, my mind wheeled to the different reactions I could receive from Syaoran. Nerves took over, what if he doesn't want to see me anymore, he did break up with me, and all what ifs bundled in my head.
"Running away from your wedding, babe?" the taxi driver eyed my wedding gown.
I beamed at him "Not exactly. It's a pretty long story"
"I am all ears. It's not everyday, I travel with a gorgeous bride. So love, just spill your guts"
And I did what I was told, I launched into my story with thoughts of Syaoran filling my head.
"…..I and Eriol both said no at the altar as I realized, I was still deeply in love with Syaoran and the story continues." I finished as Nathan gave me an incredulous look.
"Your story is like a Hollywood movie."
"And I am going for my happy ending"
The ride was finally drawing to a close as Syaoran's house came into view.
My breath quickened and my heart raced as I stood in front of that huge black door still trying to muster my courage.
TRING!
Deep breath
TRING!
Why isn't he opening up? What if something is wrong?
I tried the door but it was bolted. Where the hell are you Syaoran? Maybe Eriol knows.
I phoned Eriol "Hello Eriol"
"Hello Sakura san. Did you get a chance to speak with Syaoran"
"No, he is not here. Do you any idea where he is"
"He's not there! Wait let me see, I think I have a key to his place."
"Great, I am waiting. Thanks"
As I stood there waiting for Eriol to come, a thousand thoughts came to my mind. I tried brushing them off, but something was wrong, I could feel it. Where are you Syaoran? "Sakura" I heard Tomoyo's voice in distance. Tomoyo and Eriol were both rushing towards me, a panicked expression on their faces. As Tomoyo squeezed my hand, a reassuring smile on her, Eriol opened the lock.
The door stood ajar as I got a good look of what was inside. Everything was there yet something was amiss. It no more had the inviting feel to it; the air had a grave feeling to it, lulled by a silence.
Both Eriol and Tomoyo rushed inside calling Syaoran's name, as I stood there, my legs refusing to move any forward.
Slowly I staggered inside, my mind no more registering anything that was happening around me.
His room, it looked emptier, somehow cold, and distant.
All my eyes registered was a small note lying on the side table, my legs carried me towards the piece of paper that had my destiny. I picked up the paper and my eyes met with Syaoran's beautiful handwriting.
Dear Sakura,
I am sorry I couldn't attend your wedding. I hope everything went well. I know I promised to meet you guys for drinks but that unfortunately will not be possible. I am going to China today, my mother asked me to come back and I won't be returning. I am sorry. I am happy to have known a person like you. I'll always remember you.
Syaoran
Dear Eriol,
I am sorry man. I had to go urgently. I wish you and Sakura have a blissful married life. Sorry.
Syaoran
Dear Tomoyo, Take care of them for me. And tell Toya that the brat is out of his life.
Syaoran
P.S. Don't try contacting me.
Gone…my mind played around with the word. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't quite decipher it. I repeated it to myself, again and again waiting for the meaning to sink in; for the impact to hit me.
And suddenly, it did. Syaoran was gone. I collapsed on the floor, sobbing. My mind went numb as I clutched that single piece of paper. I soon ran out of tears but emotions still poured through. Anger, sadness, hurt, betrayal….I was a jumble of contradictory feelings. Syaoran's departure shocked me out of the happy dream I had been indulging in. A future where Syaoran and I were together melted away before the pain of my broken heart. Memories of our time together drifted past my eyes and I squeezed them shut, hoping that the images would go away. Immediately, my traitorous body reminded me of how his hands felt when they held mine, how he pushed my hair back every time they fell on my face.
A low moan escaped my lips and the pathetic sound surprised me. I stood up, dress dirty and face tear- streaked but my eyes were shining with fresh determination. I would forget him.
Syaoran Li, you shattered my heart twice, left the pieces to be picked up by me each time, left me with the hollowness in my heart and the tear stains on my check.
But this day forth, Syaoran Li would cease to exist in my world.
Wake up early in the morning
I feel that emptiness inside
You just left without a warning
I wish you could see the tears I cried
How could you do this to me
Back on my own feel so alone
Why did you break my heart
I wanna know baby
No one to hold the lights so cold
Why did you break my heart
I wanna know
Wish I had someone to talk to
But I never had too many friends
All the pain I have to go through
Feels just like a pain that never ends
Back on my own feel so alone
Why did you break my heart
I wanna know baby
No one to hold the lights so cold
Why did you break my heart
I wanna know
Why you did what you did to me
Why you never returned a plea?
Why it couldn't be you and me?
X-X-X-X-X
That's all for today guys. Thanks for reading.
Please just leave a review.
The songs are by The Boopers and Kumbia Kings respectively. I just used the songs there because they went fit there.
They are kind of, the emotions that Sakura is going through with.
REVIEW!
Love
C.S.
