Fooling Everyone
Chapter Twenty-One
Breaking a Heart
"Sakura? Sakura you can't stay in there all night."
Tomoyo was standing outside one of her guest rooms where Sakura had locked herself in.
"Sakura, I'm sure there is a perfectly good explanation for this."
Then the door snapped open reveling an angry Sakura on the other side.
"A good explanation? A good explanation! What could have possibly happened to put those two in that situation, huh? What was he walking back to his seat after going to the bathroom then tripped and landed on her lips? No really tell me Tomoyo, what's this great explanation you are talking about?"
"I know you're mad at Syaoran for breaking your heart right now but don't take it out on me. I'm just trying to make you feel better given the awful shit that just took place."
Then Sakura slammed the door in Tomoyo's face. Tomoyo however didn't give it a second thought. She just turned her back and went back down stairs to Sophie.
Meanwhile at the game…
"I LOVE THE PACKERS!"
Syaoran was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Syaoran shut up. And what the hell did you think you were doing kissing Pam like that?"
Eriol had decided to take Syaoran and leave the game. They were in a taxi being driven to their hotel.
Syaoran turned to Eriol gently stroking his cheek.
"Sakura, I love you. I want to marry you."
Eriol's eyes widen.
"First things first, I'm not Sakura." Then he removed Syaoran's hand form his face.
"Secondly, you better hope that Sakura and Tomoyo wasn't watching the game today if you ever plan to marry her."
The taxi stopped and Eriol paid the driver then dragged Syaoran up to their room. When they got inside Eriol tossed Syaoran down on one of the twin beds and sat on the other watching him.
Syaoran was lying down on his back with his head to the ceiling.
"Eriol you're lucky. You've found the girl of your dreams and convinced her to marry you. Plus you've even got a baby on the way."
Eriol raised his eyebrow. "A baby? What are you talking about?" He leaned in closer waiting to find out more.
Syaoran sat up and put his index finger in front of his mouth while whispering, "Shhhhhhhhh! You're not supposed to know."
Then he laid back down a fell asleep.
Eriol sat there looking at him. "What happened to you Syaoran? You can't be drunk. You didn't even have one beer. You were fine until you came back from the food stand…"
Then a thought started to come to his mind. "…with Pam."
Back at Tomoyo's house…
Sakura was still sitting in the guest room but now she was crying her eyes out.
'How could he do this to me? Again, I mean if he didn't want to be with me all he had to do was say so. I love him but if he doesn't even like me enough to be his girlfriend then…then…'
More tears slid down her smooth cheeks.
Then the door opened and Tomoyo entered the room holding a plate.
"You've been in here for a while now. It's about to get dark. Maybe you should try and eat something."
Sakura looked up at her with her watery eyes and then started to burst into tears again.
Tomoyo put down the plate and went to her side trying her best to comfort her.
"T-Tomoyo, I'm sorry for getting mad at you…I just…I just don't understand it. I…" She put her head down allowing her auburn hair to cover her face, "I thought he loved me."
The next day Syaoran woke up holding his head.
"What happened to me?" He blinked his eyes trying to fix his blurry vision.
Then he slowly stood up from the bed and went over to the window allowing his eyes to adjust to the sunlight.
"It's about time you woke up."
Syaoran turned around to find Eriol standing there holding a glass of water.
Syaoran took the glass and immediately drank all of the water in seconds.
"I'm so thirsty." Then he started to remember the game. "The game, why aren't we at the game?"
Eriol sat down on the couch knowing this was going to be hard to explain, especially since the Packers lost.
"The game was Sunday, that was yesterday. It's now 2:27 PM Monday. You missed the whole second half."
Syaoran went back over to the bed and sat down. "What?"
Eriol knew that none of this would make sense. It didn't even make sense to him.
"Yesterday, during half time you went to get some drinks remember?"
Syaoran thought for a second then nodded his head in agreement.
"Well, when you came back you were acting weird. At first I though you were drunk, you had to be drunk to do what you did, but then I figured that someone slipped something in your drink."
Syaoran blinked his eyes trying his best to follow what Eriol was trying to explain to him.
"So you're telling me that someone put something in my drink and I fell asleep until now?"
Eriol hearing the disbelief in his voice knew this was all hard for him to swallow.
"I know it sounds like some weird made up story but it's the truth. And to be honest I think Pam did it."
Syaoran was sitting on the bed searching his mind trying to figure out who Pam was.
"Pam…oh you mean Pam, the one from high school right? Yeah I remember seeing her at the game."
"Tell me everything that happened after you met her."
Syaoran started to rub his head trying to recall what happened.
"I remember telling you I was going to get some drinks. And then when I went to the stand I saw Pam. We started to talk about how she was doing and well, you know just catching up."
Eriol sat there getting a little impatient not hearing anything that would be of any good to him.
"Ok, then what happened?"
"I ordered the drinks and walked back with Pam and then we were with you. No big deal."
Eriol got up from the couch and walked over to him holding his shoulders trying to get some useful information out of him.
"Syaoran before you came back with Pam did you once give her your drink to hold? Maybe you had to use the bathroom and you let her hold it or something like that."
"Um…no nothing like that…wait, she was playing around with me, it was weird she kept on trying to untie my shoes. Yeah I remember, she managed to untie one of my shoes so I gave her my drink to hold. But it was only for like a second, she couldn't have done anything in that time."
Eriol let go of Syaoran and popped a tape in the VCR then pressed play.
"You have to see this."
He fast forwarded through most of the game.
"Eriol, come on man I just woke up, I love the Packers and all but I really don't feel like watching the other half right now."
"Syaoran shut up for a second alright." He fast forward through the first half and started to play the half time show.
Then the announcer came on: "Today is a great day for football everyone. At the ending of the first half the score is now 7-14 Packers. Bret Farve has had an amazing game always spotting the open man. Now lets take a look at some of the many fans on this wonderful day."
The camera goes through the crowd showing all the enthusiastic fans yelling and screaming. Then the camera landed on Eriol who was yelling and screaming and throwing his hands in the air.
"Eriol you look like such a geek in that shot."
"Yeah, well wait till you see yourself."
Then the camera landed on Syaoran who at the time was kissing Pam.
Syaoran's eyes widen, "What the fuck is that?"
"That's you and Pam." Then Eriol stopped the tape allowing all the information to sink in.
Syaoran laid back on the bed trying to think of what to do next.
Eriol tried to lighten things up a little. "Well, Sakura wasn't there so maybe she wouldn't find out."
Syaoran quickly sat up, "But I told her to watch the game. What if she did watch it? What am I going to do then?"
"Syaoran you better pray that she didn't see that. If you want to marry Sakura, which I feel you do, then she's not going to marry you after kissing another girl, especially the same girl that you dumped her for in high school."
"Wait a second, I never dumped Sakura in high school, we never dated until now."
"Syaoran just trust me. This is one thing that you shouldn't tell her, not if you love her."
Syaoran sat there trying to think of what was the right thing to do. He wants to always be honest with Sakura but if honesty will break them apart then maybe it would be wise not to say anything.
"Well, I guess as long as she doesn't ask about it then everything should be fine. And when you think about it it's not really lying. Right?"
Ok so how was it? Will they break up? Or will they stay together? Oh the wonderful questions that will make you keep on reading. I love the way my mind works. Anyway, I'm going to leave and let you wonderful people review this chapter.
