A/N 'bout the Story: This chapter will be centered in the relationship of Daisuke and Sakura, the next chapter will be Mai and Naru
Chapter 10: I'll always be here
After Mai left with Naru~
"Daisuke?" Sakura approached him, trying to hold onto his shoulder.
"No. I need to be alone." He pushed her hand away, leaving her in the garden, staring blankly at the space where he stood.
"Daisuke.." Sakura whispered, stopping the tears that was about to fall.
Sakura watched his figure fade, preventing herself from running towards him and tell him right away about what she feels for him. But she can't do that. Daisuke loves Mai.
She, then, started walking off towards the inside of the mansion. She has her arms wrapped around herself, passing people who looked concerned. She ignored everyone as she walked to her room where she can stay, quiet for the whole night.
"I don't get him. Why can't it be me?" Sakura said once she reached her room, locking it and sitting by the door, crying now.
"I've always loved you." Sakura whispered before falling into a deep sleep after crying for hours.
The Next Day
Sakura woke up, putting on a facade of a smile and walking off to where she can find her parents early in the morning. The dinner table, of course. Eating breakfast together is what they do.
When she got there, she quickly sat on the chair, smiling at her parents.
"Sakura, I've heard from our visitors last night that they saw you glum. Is something the matter, Sweetheart?" Sakura's mother said, looking at her, of course, motherly.
"Nothing, Mother. I just... witnessed something bad last night. It's okay." Sakura tried not to frown at them.
"Oh, honey. Tell me what it is." The look of sympathy was seen in her mother's eyes. The concern, the love.
"Don't worry, Mother. It's okay. Oh, and I want to talk to you and Father about something." She smiled nervously, hoping and praying that her parents would agree on her decisions.
"What is it, Sakura?" Her father looked up on her from the newspaper and curiosity was seen.
"I want to call off the engagement with Oliver Davis. We both agreed on this since none of us wanted to get married anyways."
"But Sakura..."
"No, Father! Please, let me love who I want to love and let Oliver do the same." She pleaded.
With a sigh, the older Shimizu nodded and told her, "Of course, Sakura. We want you to be happy. We will talk to Luella and Martin about this."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sakura jumped from her seat and gave her parents a peck on the cheek before going back to her seat and started eating.
"I'm going to Daisuke's today. Mai's out of town, I guess." She said after taking her final bite of her breakfast and fled off to the apartment.
In front of the apartment of Daisuke and Mai
Sakura stood in front of the door, breathing in and out before knocking.
Inside her head, she was exploding. She didn't know what to do. She really wanted to see him, to comfort him. But she just can't.
She turned around, but before she could do it successfully, the door opened and a hand caught hers to make her turn around. Her eyes wide, and her lips formed an "O" shape when she saw the person holding his hand on hers.
"D-Daisuke?" Sakura managed to speak out.
Without another word, Daisuke pulled her inside the house and placed her between him and the door. He leaned his head on her shoulder, silently crying.
Sakura hesitated in placing her hands around him as a sign of comfort but she did anyways. She wrapped her arms tightly around him, rubbing his back to stop him from the soft cries she was hearing.
Sakura knew Daisuke hurt too much. She never seen him like this before. She never saw the side of him that cried. And it hurt her as well.
"Don't cry now, Daisuke." Sakura said, trying her best to comfort him.
A fake cough was heard from Daisuke before he stood up straight, wiping the water in his eyes and facing her.
"I'm sorry for acting that way." He bowed his head.
"No. It's okay. I understand what you feel." Sakura smiled at him.
"You don't." He said after a short while of silence.
"I do. I know how it feels when the one you love loves another person. I know how to get hurt too. I get hurt too, Daisuke." A teary-eyed Sakura said.
Daisuke just looked at her, feeling guilty because of what he said. He didn't want her to cry like this. He just wanted to let out his feelings to her.
"I'm sorry." Daisuke murmured, walking closer to her.
Daisuke saw her crying. Tears running down her cheeks and an unexpected pang in his heart was what he felt when he saw cry. It was like he didn't want her crying. He didn't like anyone or anything to make her cry. Not even him.
He wrapped his arms around her making her bury her face in his chest and she cry. Daisuke didn't know what to do so he just caressed her hair.
He saw her look up at him and he looked in her eyes. With no hesitations, he lowered his head and placed his lips on hers, locking them together.
