Chapter Eight: The Runaway
And the winner is….
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The winner is…Li Syaoran! Somehow the director managed to trip over a couple people so Syaoran, using his fast speed ran and got there first.
Syaoran ran up and looked her in the eyes. Sakura just blushed.
"I-I don't care about my job anymore Sakura Kinomoto, all I want, all I need, is you…" Syaoran blushed and looked down as he whispered the feeling he has been feeling for a long time to her.
The crowd was silent…No one could be heard…They could barely hear the young man but they watched intently. They saw Sakura blush fiercely.
"You d-d-do know that we are being watched" She pointed out to the crowd with her face down.
Tomoyo and Eriol were silent, keeping in their breaths, afraid for Sakura's answer.
"Syaoran…I-I.." She was cut off
"You know what Li Syaoran is!?" The director!? He had some how stood up and was now yelling into the microphone talking about Syaoran.
"Li Syaoran is a reporter! Ha! A reporter and a celebrity can't be together and plus what are you doing with her Li Syaoran, low reporter!?" He spat at the two with such coldness that you could practically see the venom oozing out of his mouth.
The crowd laughed at the two. A celebrity...and a reporter!? They thought she had better taste than that. They laughed more at the young auburn-haired teen as some others booed and insulted her. Syaoran just glared at them as they started to leave.
Sakura dropped to her knees and sobbed. Cried like she never did before. Syaoran was about the comfort her when she pushed him away.
"Yeah why...why should I be with a reporter….that is just absurd!" She sobbed some more as Syaoran stood there silently.
"Li Syaoran, you should go back to your job and and NEVER SEE ME AGAIN!!" She cried as Syaoran stood silently yet again clenching his fists.
"I- I understand….Sakura…Sakura Kinomoto" He ran as a single tear ran down his cheek.
"Ha ha, now let's go Sakura!" Raion was about to pick her up.
"GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO BE A CELEBRITY ANYMORE!!" Sakura was too sad to even think she just needed to be alone…so she ran…ran far away…away from him….away from everything.
"SAKURA!!!" Tomoyo yelled as she was about to make a dash for her when Eriol pulled her back and shook his head.
"Let's leave her alone for a while" They all nodded even Raion as the fact dawned upon him that Sakura would never be his.
*~ Syaoran's POV~*
'Where am I going?' I ran…far away…
'Sakura don't you understand that all I need is you?' I cried some more as I reached my apartment.
I walked up the stairs and down the empty hallway. Tears dripped down on the ground as I opened the door and landed on my small bed.
'Sakura, all I ever wanted was to love…and that person to love me back…now I am nothing..'
" I…I just want you to love me like you should" I smiled sadly. That song…her song….our song…
I sniffle…I have never cried before in my life and now here I am the so called mighty leader of the Li clan crying over a girl?! Now that is absurd.
But why not…The most beautiful girl comes into my life who is the top celebrity and loves me back or I so thought…But now I don't know…I don't have my job…I don't have much money…and now I don't even have love…
God, why do you hate me so? Leaving me with nothing, is there a reason for all this? Do I deserve this? Guess I do….
Oh…Sakura….I….I…
"I just want you to love me like you should…."
*~Sakura's POV*~
The rain beats down hard…Where am I going? Mmm, have to avoid all the fans…I run faster, finally I catch up to my house…No one is there…I smile to myself as I put the brass key into the keyhole.
Click…
There finally home…I run to my room and shut the door. I thump on the bed below me.
Oh why did I say that to you Syaoran…I actually loved you…and and you loved me too…but a celebrity and a reporter? Too weird…but it seemed so right…so right…
I would give everything for you…No my job wasn't first…
You were.
Should I quit? My luxury…my home…my job…would be gone… and now you….you are gone…..yeah that word…are gone…
"Oh Syaoran…I just wish…I just wish…I could love you like I should…." Why do I write love songs…when I can't love like I should? So stupid…I hope Tomoyo and Eriol aren't worried about me…and Syaoran…I am sorry…
Oh Syaoran….Syaoran…I…I
"I love you…..I need to love you like I should…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oh no…
Syaoran quit his job?
What about Sakura?
Don't worry this is S+S!
But will happen next? Will love prevail? What about Tomoyo and Eriol? And Raion? So many questions and so little time…Don't worry just give me reviews and your prayers for new chapters will be answered! For now…
Ja ne!!
