A Broken Promise

Chapter 4: Just a Little Misunderstanding

"Meilin! Over here!" Sakura called out and waved when she saw Meilin coming out.

"Sakura!" Meilin ran towards Sakura, giving her a hug. Meilin had changed a lot. Her waist-length black hair was now only a bit longer than shoulder-length. She was also taller. But she was still the same old Meilin underneath.

Sakura's cell phone rang. She picked it up.

"Hello? Sakura speaking."

"Miss Kinomoto. Mr. Syaoran Li has waken up." A female voice said. Sakura reconized the voice as the nurse from the hostpital that takes care of Syaoran everyday.

Sakura's eyes widen with happiness. Sakura was speechless.

"Hello? Miss Kinomoto?"

"Yes, I'm here. Thank you for telling me!" Sakura said happily. She hung up and Meilin looked at Sakura with a quizzical look.

"Syaoran. Is. Awake!!!!" Sakura squealed excitedly as Meilin's face lit up in happiness.

"Lets go see him!"

Sakura drove Meilin to the hostpital and they both went into room 18 happily, to find Syaoran sitting up, drinking a bowl of soup made by Yelan, who was sitting beside him.

"Syaoran!" The two girls exclaimed, Yelan smiling happily, then getting up to leave. She knew the two girls would want a private chat with Syaoran.

Meilin hugged Syaoran, while Sakura stood in the room, happy that he was awake, but still too shy to go up and hug him the way Meilin was.

Syaoran blushed a deep shade of red when Meilin hugged him. He wasn't like that before when Meilin hugged him.

"Sakura...." Syaoran said to Meilin dreamily.

Sakura went to Syaoran's side. "Syaoran. I'm glad your awake."

"Hi Meilin." Syaoran said to Sakura. Sakura's heart fell. Syaoran thought she was Meilin and Meilin was her.....

"Syaoran, I'm Sakura!" Sakura's eyes welled with tears again, she tried to keep them from falling, but one escaped.

"Stop joking with me, Meilin." Syaoran looked at Sakura with a serious face, but reached out and wiped the tear away. To Meilin, he said "Sakura. I missed you. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise."

Meilin looked up at Sakura.

"Sakura, I'm sorry." She stood up and told Syaoran that she was Meilin, but he wouldn't believe her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, young ladies, but Mr. Li needs his rest. He'll have to stay for two more days, then he can go." The doctor told the two girls with a smile on his face. "This is quite a miracle. He's been in a coma for two years and his memory is still fine."

"No it's not!" Meilin burst out and told the doctor how Syaoran was confusing the two of them up.

"Calm down, Miss Rae. He'll be better in a couple days. Just keep reminding him who you are." The doctor explained patiently, before he asked the two to leave again.

"Bye, Syaoran." Sakura said sadly, and walked out of the room.

"It's ok, Sakura. The doctor said he'd get us right in a couple days. We'll just keep reminding him." Meilin said, still happy that Syaoran has finally awaken. "You should be happy!"

Sakura gave Meilin a little smile, then they both went home.

For the next two days, Meilin and Sakura went to visit Syaoran, but he still mixed the two up. Soon, the doctor told them Syaoran could leave.

"Make sure he takes his medicine and comes back every month for a check up." The doctor told them. Sakura and Meilin nodded and led Syaoran out of the hostpital.

"How nice it is to be outside again!" Syaoran said, breathing in fresh air, instead of that mucky air in the hostpital. He turned around, and held Meilin's hands in his hands.

"Sakura, I've been meaning to ask you something." Syaoran said, still mistaking Meilin for Sakura.

Meilin opened her mouth to tell him that she was Meilin, but Syaoran shushed her.

"Sakura, now that we're 20 years old." Syaoran knelt down and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet pink box. "Will you marry me?" He opened the box, revealing a ring. A ring with a silver cherry blossom on it, and in the center of the cherry blossom was a shiny diamond. Syaoran looked at Meilin with cute puppy eyes. "Please say yes."

Sakura stood at the side, watching all this. Her heart broke into tiny pieces. Meilin looked to where Sakura was, then said "Syaoran, stand up." She helped Syaoran stand up and said "I'm not Sakura. Ok? She is Sakura." Meilin said, pointing at Sakura. "I am Meilin."

Syaoran shook his head in disbelief. He opened his mouth to talk, but Meilin stopped him, so he wouldn't break Sakura's heart even more.

"Lets just go home, ok?" Meilin said.

"In Japan?" Syaoran asked.

"No. I'm Meilin. Do you know where Meilin lives?"

"You're not Meilin! You're Sakura!" Syaoran tried to kiss Meilin, but she pushed him away.

"I'm sorry, Syaoran. I'm Meilin."

Meilin, Sakura and Syaoran all went into Sakura's car. Meilin drove because Sakura didn't know where Syaoran lived in Hong Kong. They dropped Syaoran off at his apartment, then Meilin drove her and Sakura home.

"I'm sorry Sakura." Meilin said to Sakura.

"It's not your fault. Maybe this is fate. Maybe Syaoran doesn't want to remember me." Sakura said gloomily, tears coming her eyes again.

"Don't say that!"

Meilin and Sakura both returned to their rooms, and spent the whole night there. They both had their own problems to worry about.
