"Sakura! Wait!" Syaoran called but Sakura carried on walking away determined not to let him see he'd hurt her. And god did it hurt. Her heart was aching and her face was streaming with tears. WHY? WHY did he do this to her? Syaoran grabbed her arm. "Sakura...please just listen..." he was facing her now but Sakura turned her face away from him. She looked at him. "What explaining is there?" she said forcing herself to hate him...hate him for this...hate him for everything but she didn't...she loved him...she loved him more then anything else and this is what he done to her... Syaoran looked down still holding her arms. "You've got nothing to say?" she said, tears still running down her face and her throat throbbing. She shook her head as a voice whispered. "Listen to him Sakura...just listen" but she pushed away the voice and broke free from his grasp and taking one last look at him she turned and ran all the way back home sobbing, her heart was broken and it hurt...god did it hurt. She threw herself into her bed and held her chest. "Sakura?" Kero whispered. "Sakura what's wrong?" he looked very concerned but Sakura turned away. "Nothing..."she said, her voice was barely audible. "I just...I just want to be by myself for a while." Kero could see there was something wrong but he couldn't do anything about it and that's what made him mad…he couldn't even help his best friend. He flew towards the door and taking one last look at her curled up on her bed, closed the door to leave her in peace. She layed on her bed all day thinking about her and Syaoran. And the more she thought of him the more she cried. He broke her heart...he killed all her dreams of them being together and the worst of all was she still loved him. Syaoran called but every time, Sakura hung up...she couldn't bear to speak to him...it just brought back those painful memories.
Syaoran closed the phone and held it tight. Why didn't he tell her about Xing? It wasn't as if he really loved her...he had to marry her but he loved Sakura and now the one he loved was never going to speak to him again. He clenched his fist at his own anger. And the worst thing was she didn't even know they were going to get married. He put his hands to his face and pushed his hair away from his face. "Syaoran?" it was Meilin. He didn't even look up at her. He was too mad with himself for hurting Sakura. "I guess you can get ready for the wedding then." He looked up at her. "How did you know?" she picked up a pen and started to doodle on a small piece of paper. "Xing told me and I just reckoned that girl who came in while you two were hugging each other was Sakura." She looked up. "Was it Sakura?" Syaoran nodded and threw the phone across the room in anger. "Look," Meilin began. "I told you to tell her...and you know that Xing does really love you and she doesn't deserve you to go off with another girl 2 days before your wedding." Syaoran looked at the floor then back to Meilin. "I know but..." "But nothing!" Meilin interrupted. "Don't you get it? Your getting married to Xing and you came here to say goodbye and this is what happens? Do u really think Xing deserves this?" " So you think Sakura deserves this?" a voice came. It was Tomoyo. She walked through the large oak door towards them " Do you know that Sakura's crying in her room right now? Do you know that you broke her heart?" she said. "I know what I did...I know it was wrong but.." Syaoran started. "But he's getting married!" Meilin finished. "I knew he shouldn't of visited Sakura...if he didn't come back then no one would have gotten hurt!" Meilin was almost in tears now. "I just wanted everyone to be happy..." she whispered and walked out of the room leaving Tomoyo and Syaoran by themselves. Tomoyo shook her head and knelt down next to Syaoran. "I know you didn't mean any of this but don't you think Sakura should get an explanation and one last goodbye?" Syaoran looked up at her and said, "Tomoyo? Can you do something for me?"
There was a knock on the door and Sakura quickly wiped the tears from her face. "Come in," she said. It was Tomoyo. "Sakura? Are you ok?" Sakura looked out of the window. "Yeah...why wouldn't I be?" Tomoyo looked at her sadly. "Here..." she held out a tape. "What's this for Tomoyo?" Tomoyo put in gently in her hands. "Watch it," she said gently. "I think you'll like it..." She squeezed Sakura's hand and walked away. Sakura didn't know what her best friend meant but she was too upset to anything right now. She layed back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering what Tomoyo meant. She then fell asleep...
It was almost 11 PM when Sakura woke up and the first thing she noticed was the present Syaoran had given her. It was still neatly wrapped sitting on her desk and she walked towards it carefully unwrapping it. There was a book inside that was full of pictures of them and a necklace...a locket...it had a heart with wings on the front and engraved in the back was their names. Inside there was a picture of them together and a note was next to it. "I love you and I always will no matter what happens...I wanted to give this to you before I left for Hong Kong but I never had the chance but now I hope every time you see this you'll think of me" Sakura was touched and when she blinked, a tear rolled down her face. She grabbed the tape and slid it into the VCR. It was blank at first then Syaoran appeared. He looked in and said "Sakura...by the time you get this I'll be in Hong Kong...I'm getting married to Xing...the girl you saw with me...I have to marry her but she's not the one I love...you are...I know you might not ever forgive me for not telling you this but I couldn't stand to see you get hurt...but by not telling you I guess I hurt you even more...I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry and that I love you...I always have and I always will Sakura..." he smiled and then the tape blanked out. Sakura was crying by the end of this...not tears of hate...but of love. She had to go and see him even if that meant going to Hong Kong and his wedding...
