Be My Eyes

Chapter 10: Memories Past

By Riley S

Ring…ring…

It's been almost five days since I had last seen Sakura. My Family left four days ago and I wasn't able to go with them to the last meeting with her for the dog, work suddenly got overwhelming.

Ring …ring…

I look at my cell phone again. She wasn't picking up with wasn't like her at all. We had a lunch date two hours ago and she never showed up or called to say she was running late. I had called her cell constantly since then. Worried I called the house number Sakura gave me.

"Hello?" Said a present and slightly softer voice than Sakura's, I assume it must be Tomoyo.

"Hello? Tomoyo, is Sakura home?" I ask hoping she is and just not near her cell phone.

"Oh no she isn't….She should be though she didn't work today…" She sounds a little distant and worried on the other line.

"Have you heard from her all day? She hasn't picked up the phone for me once." I say worried.

"No…I haven't…one sec…" I hear her fumble through some papers, "Oh no…today…"

"What's wrong?"

"Today is…Syaoran meet me at the Palace park on Fifth Street in five minutes, ill explain." She says franticly before hanging up the phone.

Five minutes later I am standing on the corner of the street leaning against my black SUV waiting for Tomoyo. I see a convertible pull up and Tomoyo steps out.

"What's going on? Where is Sakura?" I ask as she approaches me.

Her eyes glance behind me to one of the benches. I look over and see a girl sitting there before looking back at Tomoyo.

"There." She says pointing to the girl.

I look closer and I can tell its Sakura. She is wearing torn jeans and a t-shirt. Fifa is sitting next to her and in her hands are a teddy bear and a long sunflower. She looks sad, her eyes are downcast and she almost looks like she is crying.

"It's been six years today." Tomoyo says looking sadly over at Sakura. "I forgot."

I look confused at Tomoyo again unsure of what she is talking about.

"Every year since then she has come here on this day." She points behind her, not fully explaining everything yet, I still look at her confused. "There." I see faint skid marks on the ground. "That's where is all happened."

I look back over at Sakura who looks sad staring at nothing in the distance, Fifa still sitting diligently by her feet.

"The accident. She was with this boy she was dating at the time, Yoshi. He was sweet and loved her. He has this dinner planned out for the two of them where he was going to tell her his feelings. As they passed this light a drunk driver came out from that bar across the street and plowed into them. Yoshi was killed instantly. The car was totaled; they say the impact of the hit had knocked Sakura unconscious. When she woke up she was blind. They had hit the back of her head very badly and it was what had messed up her eye sight. She was confused and delusional for a couple weeks afterwards." I looked over to Tomoyo who had a few tear drops falling down her eyes as she finished.


SAKURA
People wish for a lot of different things in life. I wish I tired better in High school, I wish I told Yoshi I loved him, I wish I went to college. But I have never wished I didn't go blind.

When I woke up, officially woke up sane and coherent in that hospital bed and I couldn't see anything, I never said 'why me'. I always had this idea in the back of my head that being blind would be an adventure. I wonder all the time what people look like, and what people are doing when I can't see them. But I know if I never went blind then I might not have had some of the best experience of my life.

I may not be living with Tomoyo, I wouldn't have Fifa, and I may never have met Syaoran.

Syaoran…

When I am with him I feel like I can see, I can see everything he can see, all the colors and the wonders of life. And this is the first time I have come here, to the place where IT happened, and not thought about Yoshi and the accident. Instead I thought about Syaoran.

I sat at the park for a good hour or two before I made my way home from the park, with Fifa by my side. I know Tomoyo would be worried about me, since it was close to dusk and I didn't tell here where I was going. I'm sure by now she remembered and figured it out on her own.

"I'm Home!" I call as I walk into our apartment. I can smell spaghetti and garlic bread cooking. "Smells good Tomoyo!" I set my keys and the teddy bear Yoshi had given me and a sunflower down on the counter before unhooking Fifa.

"Yea, it does doesn't it?" Tomoyo called from the living room. If she is watching TV…who is cooking…?

"Who is-?" I start before being cut off.

"I am." Says a masculine voice from the kitchen.

"Syaoran!" I say delighted that he had come over, but also a little confused.

"We where suppose to have lunch today remember?" He says as I walk into the kitchen.

"Oh…OH no!" I cry remembering out lunch date we had set which I had forgotten about.

"Its okay Sakura, I called Tomoyo when your cell was off, she told me…" He starts and I realize he means that she had told him…EVERYTHING.

"Oh…I was going to tell you…" I say.

"I know Sakura. I was just worried about you. Its okay you don't have to talk about it right now, whenever you want." He says enveloping me into a hug. "I hope your hungry, I made pasta." I smile into his shirt as I hug him back.

I definitely never wish I never went blind, because then I would never have had this.


TOMOYO
I can remember that day as if it was yesterday. I had got the call from Sakura's brother, his voice was strained as if he had been crying. I had made it to the hospital within ten minutes, it was a twenty minute drive from my house.

They had announces Yoshi dead at the scene, since the other car had hit them on the drivers side. Sakura was rushed into the ER, and still in there when I had arrived. I sat with Touya and her father for nearly three hours until she was out.

I remember her lying there still sleeping as we crept into her room. Sakura's father broke out crying, and Touya was holding him. She was lying there looking pale and fragile, there where bandages covering her eyes. I remember the doctor was talking to us, but all I could understand was him saying that they tried, and she may never see again. She had a scar across her forehead and her hands where very much cut up. They said she had a collapsed lung but that would heal itself over the next couple days.

I stayed at the hospital with her all night. She didn't wake up till the next afternoon, and she was so confused. She started screaming for Yoshi and her father and couldn't understand that Yoshi was dead. She kept saying she could see him and that they had dinner plans that night. It wasn't until a week later she came out of daze and fully understood what had happened and they she would never see again.

She was kept at the hospital for nearly a month, she had a made a full recovery expect for her eye sight. We all took brail classes with her, so we could understand all the same things she was reading. So she wouldn't feel abnormal.

I look over to Sakura in the kitchen now with Syaoran and realize what it is she sees in him. He is so much like Yoshi, and cares for her so much. He puts Sakura before himself in everything and when I was explaining the story to him at the park earlier today I thought I almost saw tears in his eyes. He brushed it off saying it was windy. Then offered to make both of us dinner.

"It's ready Tomoyo!" Sakura called from the kitchen carrying a large bowl of pasta, getting me out of my day dream.

"MM…smells good!" I say turning off the TV and walking to the table. Syaoran had even set it, insisting I just sit and watch TV.

"Tastes good too!!" Sakura cried as she stuffed a forkful into her mouth causing Syaoran and I to both laugh at her.

"Thanks, my mother insisted I know how to cook." He smiles sheepishly as he looks over at Sakura.

"Wow a man that cooks a keeper Sakura!" I tease as she turns bright red.

"T-Tomoyo!" She hisses at me.

"Sakura doesn't like to cook much…or at all…" I lower my voice at the last part as she turns even redder.

"Hey…I made you cookies that one time remember!" She cries at me pointing her finger.

"Yes…sadly I do…" I laugh as does Syaoran.

"Well I couldn't tell the difference between Baking Powder and Soda…you trying telling the difference, they both come in boxes, and you set them next to each other on the counter! So it's your fault!!" She pouts a little before taking another forkful of pasta.

Later we all sit around the TV I am showing Syaoran old movies of Sakura.

"Tom-o-yo!" Sakura wines pronouncing all the syllables in my name. "Turn it off!"

"Why you don't have to watch it." I tease as she makes a face at me.

"But I can hear it!" She throws the blanket Syaoran and she are sharing over her head.

"But you look so cute! Did you make all those costumes Tomoyo?" Syaoran asks trying to pry the blanket away from Sakura.

"Oh yes, a hobby of mine. Only the best for my Sakura!" I say stars forming in my eyes.

"I hate you both!" Sakura says her hands still in firm fistfuls of the blanket.


SAKURA


I thought it would be cool of Tomoyo, Syaoran and I could all hang out…

I was wrong!

Very very wrong. I knew those old videos Tomoyo use to insist on taping of me would come back to bite me in the butt one day.

The next couple days fly by pretty fast. I tried not to think of what was around the corner. Only five days past the anniversary of me loosing my sight I would gain it back.

Work went by fast, Mike seemed more excited then I was. He kept saying once I say how hansom he was I would fall right in love with him.

Syaoran did a very good job of helping me not to think about it. He surprised me at work one day with a packed lunch for both of and we went across the street to the park to eat it.

Tomoyo helped me pack some things I would need for the hospital since I would be there for a week. Packing my clothes for me and some essentially I would need.

The night before the surgery Tomoyo made dinner for four. She had invited Syaoran and Eriol over.

"You look wonderful!" Syaoran greated me as he walked in, I blush a little as he gives me a light kiss. I can hear Tomoyo and Eriol give there usual "hello" kiss. Lets just say if mine and Syaorans was G rated…you don't want to know what theirs was.

"Tomoyo made it." I tell him about my outfit as I lead them both inside. "Dinner should be done in just a minute."

"I made Salmon and Scallops with mashed potatoes and Asparagus." Tomoyo says walking out of the kitchen. "Eriol be a dear and grab the rolls."

We all sat down for a nice dinner a little banter between Syaoran and Eriol, it was hard at points to tell that they where best friends, with the teasing and occasional arm punches. I thought I heard Eriol mutter an "ouch" to one but then quickly covered it up with a cough.

"You excited Sakura?" Eriol asked after all the plates where cleared and we where enjoying the last bits of the wine Syaoran had brought over.

"Nervous" I reply moving my wine glass a bit as Syaoran reaches for my hand and gives me a light squeeze.

"Everything will be okay!" Tomoyo cheers in, a saying I was known for throughout my childhood, causing me to giver her a light smile.

That night I barley sleep and the little bit of sleep I do catch involved chestnut eyes and sunflowers.

I hope you all enjoyed! I have about a chapter of two left…I'm not sure yet lol. There was a little bit of something I don't know if you all cached…but if you look at the first chapter of this story you will see what color Yoshi's eyes where…hint hint hint… :D

Sorry it took me a while to update I was stuck. As I as lying on my couch trying to sleep I was hit with a brainstorm and had to come write it down (why I was my couch you ask? Because the wind was so loud in my room I thought I was in a hurricane!)

Thank you so much for EVERYONES reviews!! Over 100!! WOW

I love you all, please please continue to review!!
