Thanks for all the reviews btw, they really helped me. SORRY FOR THE REALLY LONG UPDATE..I'm kinda busy these days
Chapter Nine: Running Away
"What are you doing here?" stormed Syaoran, seeing Eriol walk in.
"I need to exchange a few words with her," he simply said.
Syaoran was about to protest until Sakura said, "Let him."
Eriol stepped over to Sakura's bed. She gave Syaoran a look and he knew that he should leave their room. He left angrily, wondering what was up. He tried to peek in, but saw Sakura and Eriol talking. Five minutes later, he left the room and Syaoran went back in.
"Why- what did you guys talk about?" asked a very curious Syaoran.
"Look, there's nothing special between us. I'll explain later. I need my rest," said Sakura and fell asleep.
When Sakura remained in the hospital for a couple days, until she got better. Syaoran came by everyday and brought her homework and food. He was glad that he didn't see Eriol again.
When Sakura arrived home after the hospital incident, her stepfather demanded where she was. She replied, "I'm not telling you where I was because you wouldn't care."
"Don't speak to me like that," he said, raising his hand to hit her. But Sakura dodged Haruko.
"HOW DARE YOU!" he roared furiously, and kicked her shoulder. (He's almost seven feet tall.)
"Look. I'm going to rent a room in a hotel for a couple days," said Sakura coldly, pretending to be oblivious that her shoulder was aching and bleeding. "I'm going to leave and you stay away. Soon, I'm going to make sure you're going to hell and get back everything you stole from me."
"YOU never threaten me!" yelled Haruko, amazed at his step daughter's words.
"Well now I am! Syaonara!" Sakura yelled, and ran to her room to get her bags that were ready for her.
Her stepfather ran up the stairs to chase her, but he wasn't as fast as Sakura. He managed to shove Sakura rolling down the stairs. But she pounced up and ran out of the front door.
"FINE LEAVE! You piece of filth! Don't ever dare enter my house!"
Sakura ran as fast as she can. On her way to the Tomoeda Hotel, she saw Syaoran walking the direction toward her. For some reason, she didn't want him to know where she was, and hid in the corner and prayed he didn't see her. After a while, she left her hiding spot, until she felt a cool hand on her back.
She yelped.
Sakura turned around and stared in a pair of amber eyes. "Sakura! Why were you avoiding me?" he asked.
She looked down, "No, I wasn't."
"Yes you did. I saw you and you ran away. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Later." Sakura ran away before Syaoran could respond, leaving him and his thoughts.
Sakura had enough money to rent a room for a week. After that, she thought, I have no idea.
She sat on her bed and studied her surroundings.
"How dull," she muttered, "Why did I ever end up here?"
Sakura didn't know why she ran away. She didn't know why she did it now, and why didn't she do it before. Was it Syaoran Li, she thought, why is he making life so much more different now.
Suddenly, her cell phone emitted a beep. She received a message from Syaoran. She scanned it.
Sakura- where are you? I'm worried sick. Went to your house. He said you left. CALL ME!
Sakura sighed. She really did want to talk to Syaoran, tell him everything- her thoughts, her feelings, her life. But she couldn't or she wasn't Sakura anymore.
"I'm me. I can't let people interefere with my life. If I do, they get hurt, or I get hurt," she whispered, "Sorry, Syaoran."
She deleted his message.
