It was almost 4:00...the flight had been delayed and Sakura held her bag close to her chest. She might not make it in time for Syaoran's wedding and she had already blown all her savings on this fight to see him. "Fight 637 to Hong Kong...fight 657 to Hong Kong...passengers please make you way to Gate 25 and prepare to board the plane," a loud voice from the speakers called. Sakura quickly got her things and ran towards Gate 25. She didn't sleep on the plane...she was too busy thinking about Syaoran...she couldn't really do anything but wait and see if she would make it in time to say her one last goodbye...
Syaoran looked in the mirror in his room. He was wearing a smart, black tuxedo...the one he would wear to marry Xing. He sighed when there was a knock on the door. He turned around and saw Meilin looking in. "Your big day tomorrow..." Meilin said. Syaoran looked at her. "Yeah," he said simply. Meilin looked at him in the mirror and walked towards his desk. She looked at the bear Sakura had given him and then looked back up at him. "You're thinking about Sakura aren't you?" Meilin asked. He didn't say anything but Meilin could tell by his eyes that he was. Meilin glanced at the clock by his bedside table. "Its late...you should get some sleep...get up early for the wedding..." Meilin said. Syaoran looked at the blinking digital clock. 4:36 AM. He looked back at Meilin and nodded. She gave him one last look and walked back into the hall.
Sakura was running towards Syoaran holding out a hand but she wasn't getting any closer. "Syaoran!" she cried trying to reach out to him. "Please don't go..." she whispered and stopped running as Syaoran disappeared into the distance. She put her hand to her heart and looked down. Two drops of tears fell from her eyes to the floor. "I love you..." she silently whispered as she curled up on the floor as the darkness swallowed her.
"Miss?" Someone lightly tapped her on her shoulder. Sakura opened her eyes and looked up drearily. She was greeted by an air stewardess smiling at her. "Miss, can you put on your seatbelt...we're about to land." Sakura quickly opened the plane window and could already see the buildings in Hong Kong. She was here...the only thing she had to do now was find Syaoran and tell him how she felt. She smiled and put her seatbelt on looking down at Hong Kong and wondering what Syaoran was doing right this minute, hoping she would make it in time.
"Meilin?" Xing called. Her voice was gentle and patient as Meilin came running in. She smiled. "You look...great!" she smiled taking a closer look at her. Xing smiled and looked into the church doors. Everyone had arrived and she could see Syaoran by the alter. Everyone was laughing and chatting...everyone but Syaoran. Xing looked at him and her heart ached. She as marrying the one she loved but he didn't return that feeling. She looked away sadly and thought back to when they first met.
It was raining very heavily. She was crying and she didn't care if she got wet...she kept crying...no one could bring back her parents. She cried into her arms as the rain pattered heavily on everything it touched. Then the rain stopped and Xing looked up. Two deep brown eyes stared back at her. He was holding and umbrella up to shade her. He smiled at her. "Don't cry," he whispered and sat down beside her and put his arm around her. "Don't cry..." she leant her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes as the rain kept falling and he was with her. She wasn't afraid anymore...
Xing blinked back the tears and looked back at Meilin smiling. She should have been happy...but she wasn't. The music started and the talking silenced as she walked slowly down the aisle.
"Bei-chang church please!" she gasped as she got into the taxi. She held her locket in her hands and prayed she wouldn't be too late...
