Now that I finally get to update now a days… here's the next chapter
Can a broken heart be fixed?
Chapter 13:
Third wheel
And of course…she gasped, and started to cry again...
"Your…such a freaken JERK!!" she screamed
"No, wait, let me explain." I said, but she just went up to me and started to hit my arm.
"Why Syaoran!! You lead her on…and-and-and you, you je-."
"Tomoyo! Please!!" I took her punching arm and hanged onto it. Her eyes widened in surprise, as if her punches were unstoppable blowouts…but I digress. "Let me explain, because this whole thing…wasn't something I intended."
I let go of her arm, and she pulled back a little, sat back down on the bench, and got out tissues.
"Do explain then." She said "Because as of now, I don't know what to say…."
Oh God, I better have a speech for this one…
Well, hopefully she believes me.
...
"Well, you see, my fiancé….technically wasn't my choice…"
"It was an arrange marriage then?" she asked
"Exactly." I gave another sigh, she didn't look so pissed.
But I continued. "My mother's wish was to have me take over the family business once I graduate high school and go to a University in Hong Kong. But then there was a dilemma…"
"What was it?" she asked
"I'm getting there." I said, continuing "Anyway, the dilemma was that I needed to get married so I can take over the business and it-."
"Why do you have to get married?" she interrupted
"Wait Tomoyo, I'm getting to that part, ask questions later."
Finally…
Ahem
"Anyway, its some traditional thing that my family has. My family, the Li's, had been some main part of Hong Kong, as well as the culture, or so I was told. So my mother is somewhat of a celebrity, so it's kind of for the press too…"
"Oh…" she gave me a weird look, I was kinda expecting that from her. "Then why did you come to Tokyo then?"
"Because my fiancé's an annoying little pest!!" I yelled out.
The memories are so horrible…thinking of them now just makes my stomach ache.
"She's obsessed with me, ever since we were little; she proclaimed her "everlasting love" for me. She always followed me around, ate with me, and almost attempted to sleep with me! It was suffocating!! And to me, that's freaken scary, I couldn't stand it then, so there's no way in hell that I'm spending the rest of my life with that chick!!"
Tomoyo laughed. She laughed so hard that she fell right off the bench.
"Shut up! It's not funny, it's horrible!!" I said, but she kept on going.
"AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH….I ca-ca-nt stop because…." She giggled, trying to get up…and started to breathe. "I never knew you'd be like this, to think I called you a jerk I -."
She calmed down, and took a deep breath, and started to walk, while I followed her.
"Anyway Syaoran, I wanna know." She pulled out her phone from her purse and pressed a button.
"Know what?"
"How you feel about her."
I paused for a moment
How do…I…feel.
No! I cant, but still…
tadumptadumptadump
"She's…alright…" I said
"What do you mean by alright?"
"I mean that I…Ah! I have no idea okay. I don't know all this yet, God, what more do you want from me?"
"Then why did you let her live with you?"
What the…hell…?
She grinned
"And why did you promise her protection? Why did you save her when she was about to fall off thatcliff? Actually, come to think of it, why are you helping her in the first place? You barley knew her, and yet, you asked her to live with you quite perpo-."
"Wait a minute!!" I exclaimed
God, this isn't 20 questions for crying out loud! And on the most stupidest questions…
"How…do you know all this shit?" I asked
"She tells me everything; we are best friends after all, just like you and Eriol."
"We aren't exactly bes-."
"But don't you hang out with him a lot?" she asked
Uh…
"At times…"
"And don't you talk about well…girls, like Sakura?"
"Ok, ok ok ok…God, I guess you can call him my best friend." I said, a little annoyed. "Wait a minute….does he tell you -"
"Don't worry, he doesn't tell me those things." she grinned
Oh thank God,
If he did tell her, I thought I was gonna have to kill him tomorrow at school.
"Well, I guess that's all the time I have on you." she said, giving me a peice of paper. "Don't forget, alright?"
Don't forget…what?
A black limo pulled up to the sidewalk, she got in, shut the door, and I watched the limo drive off into the snowy, grey distance.
I looked in my hands, a blue piece of paper.
What the hell is this thing?
I unfolded it:
Winter Ball
December 23 9-12am
Formal attire please
"Come one, come all, bring a date to this winter ball!"
…
Wow.
Why on earth…would I want to go to some crappy little ball? All you do is watch kids grind on eachother for 3 straight hours and see some of them do retarded things…
Not worth my time…
"Don't forget alright…?"
What did she mean by this?
…
…
…
Wait…
"Come one, come all, bring a date to…
"…bring a
…
date…"
TOMOYO!!
"My God, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!!"
"What way?" someone asked
"None of you damn business!" I said turning around.
…. "Eh?"
Crap.
Sakura?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SAKURA'S POV
"Oh…I'm…sorry…I guess I'll-."
I couldn't finish my sentence, I just started to walk away from him…but he grabbed my hand.
"Wait…I'm sorry, I thought you were…someone else." He said
I smiled at him
"It's alright; I thought you were just in a bad mood cause of that phone call earlier."
"Don't worry about it." he said suddenly.
Oh…I guess…it was nothing then…
"Oh…ok. Well, shall we go home?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
We started walking until he stopped, and took out his cell phone.
"What is it?" I asked
His face looked annoyed.
Is it…that person who called him earlier?
"Is it…that same person?" I asked
I looked at him, my eyes started to go blurry, but I tried to hold back my tears. He handed me a piece of paper.
"I…gotta go to work, I'll see you later."
He started to walk away, leaving me with the cold, night snow.
Coming home I sat on the couch, with a hott cup of coco in my hand, looking at this folded, blue piece of paper.
I wonder what this is.
I unfolded it; it was…the dance flyer?
Wait…
Winter Ball
December 23 9-12am
Formal attire please
"Come one, come all, bring a date to this winter ball!"
(see back)
Huh?
I flipped the paper to the back side:
Hey,
Well this is werid…
So this dance thing…it says bring a date. That's kind of fucked up in my opinion.
A crap load of girls have been asking me to this dance. But there's no way I'm going.
But… I uh… heard that you wanted to go to this thing, so if you want
… I'll go with you... But only because my plans were cancelled that night ok!!
-Syaoran
…
…
…
What was…that all about?
Wait!!
"I'll go with you…"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!
"Well…isn't this…interesting?"
Putting the flyer down on the coffee table, but I tried to calm myself down. But I felt my face going hot, and my lips starting to move upward….
No, it's only because he doesn't have plans that night. That's it Sakura,
Only… that reason.
"But still…"
Snow continued to fall as I stared through the window, making me feel cold inside and out. I curled myself into a ball, putting my head down into the darkness in my legs.
I just…don't get it. What is he thinking…?
Ever since he started working late, he's been acting so werid. He hasn't talked to me since, not in school, or at home. And that phone call just made it worse.
Do I…still need to be here?
I gotta call from Darick. Saying that Jake was caught by the police, and they said that I can have my house back. So I can move back and have normal life, without a care in the world. But…why did I…
FLASHBACK
It rained instead of snow that one day in Tokyo. I got a call from Darick, saying that he had some good news on my ex boyfriend.
"Jake is behind bars, Miss Kinomoto." Derick said, sitting down across from me in the restaurant. "Your father's will states that your brother has the money and the house, and he would take care of you…but…since he is also gone, it all goes to you."
"I guess, that's what it seems…" I said, sipping on a cup of hot coco.
"So, just give us a call whenever you want us to help you with your things. We'll be glad to he-."
"Wait," I interrupted "I…don't think I want to leave him…just yet."
END OF FLASHBACK
If I leave…I don't know how to say it to him. Do I just pack up and say goodbye and leave on that note…or, ah! I just don't know anymore.
I opened my purse and got out the envelope.
This is probably what'll be my future…this letter. My brother's last words…
Toya…
ANOTHER FLASHBACK
"--?" he mumbled
"What was that?" I asked
"Nothing." Darick said, and pulled something from his jacket "Your brother…had one last request, before he died. I couldn't believe he was still breathing…but, he told me to give you this."
He handed me an envelope with Sakura written on it. I started to open it, but he put his hand over mine.
"I think its best…that you open it when no ones around." He said.
I got up from the table, and thanked him for his time, and left the restaurant
END OF FLASHBACK
I guess, I'll open it up. But…right after I…
Sleep…
I closed my eyes, and drifted.
door closes
Huh?
I looked up, and saw Syaoran putting his coat on the rack. I got up from the couch and walked up to him.
"Hey…Syaoran…" I said softly.
"Shouldn't you be asleep squirt?" he said.
"I'm not a -." I fell on his chest….
What's…going on…with me?
"Hey, wake up Sakura."
I looked up at him…at his dark, brown eyes.
"If…I leave this place…would you still be there…for me?" I whispered.
My eyes started to water, but I didn't care…
Answer me Syaoran…
"What are you trying to say Sakura? I don't get.-."
"Please don't leave me." I said, putting my arms around his body, crying into his chest.
SYAORAN'S POV
"Please don't leave me."
I don't get it…I thought she'd be happy, that I'm going with her to this dance…but…why all the water works?
What is she...talking about? Does she know about my fiancé?
"Sakura-."
"I…sniff have a feeling that your gonna sniff leave…and never sniff come back!" she said holding me tighter.
I don't…know what to say.
Think Syaoran!
"Sakura, crying is…not you…" I said
She looked up to me, with tears coming down her emerald eyes. So, that's the color of her eyes, for the first time…I noticed them.
I continued
"You shouldn't be like this, I mean; it's the season to be jolly right? Or so the fags who write the hallmark cards say. But your bright, and…always happy, you should…be that. Don't worry about…the small stuff that happens in life…cause that stuff, is just there to bring us down. So smile…okay?"
She nodded, and I patted her head. Then she let me go and went to the coffee table and picked up a piece of paper.
"Syao, what is this letter mean?"
What letter?
...
Ah!...That bitch.
"Well…uh…I'll go to the dance with you... i guess." I said.
She smiled, and walked to her room.
"Oh, and Syaoran." She said, turning around. "I'll do my best!"
She shut her door, and I looked at the blue paper.
I hope that I'm doing the best thing for her…because that night, I have to tell her somehow. Since that phone call…
FLASHBACK
"What the hell?!" I yelled
"Ohh Syao! Stop yelling on the phone, you know you're looking forward to have me come to your apartment." Meiling said
"No you don't get it, I have a roommate, there's no room."
"Well I'm just gonna have to room in your room then. Ohh were gonna have fun!!"
"No, I just don't think that you and her w-."
"HER!? You...you have a girl as a roommate!!" she exclaimed
"So?"
"So!! Syaoran! I can't believe you! I'm coming to Tokyo tomorrow and taking you home with me! Your are my husband to be!!"

END OF FLASHBACK
If I tell her about Meiling…she'll be crushed.
I sat in bed, trying to think about how this is all going to work out. But I don't think it's gonna work the way I want it to. I already know…how she feels. And I don't want to break her.
"We'll be together forever right Syao?"
Huh?
Who said tha-
"Ahaha, yes zuto Syao."
Who's saying this?
shut up!!
"Whatever happens in our lives…"
Shut up girl! Shut up shut up…
"We'll be together…always."
Shut up!!
I opened my eyes…I check my phone, 2am…
I must've dosed off…
I closed my eyes again. I'll just think about this tomorrow.
But I wonder…who is this girl…who calls me Syao all the time. She sounds so familiar, but for some reason…I can't think of her.
Well whoever it is, I'll figure it out. Because for some werid reason this girl….
that girl….
Sounds like…
…Sakura…
