SN: wow, I'm amazed by how many reviews this story has gotten. I thought I was gonna get nothing! (I should get writers block more often ^_^ just kidding) well, here's the second to last chapter oh yeah, I've thought up of a really good sequel for this one. I told my friend ~*~Sapphire rose ~*~about my idea and she was like "shut up! Your idea is so good! It's way better then my fic (she's writing "death of a cherry blossom" right now, you should all read it, hell! You think my fics are good? You should read all of hers! She writes 10x better then me!) We're always having the but- your-fics-are-so-much-better-then-mines fight. Well, I'll put the summary at the end of next chapter so more of you ppl can tell me if you want the sequel or not. Oh yeah and as always, read and review! Me luv getting reviews!

Chapter 5

(Day of the wedding)

"Sakura you look gorgeous!"

Naoko said as she entered the brides' dressing room.

Sakura was wearing a long white satin gown, which fell below her feet and brushed the ground softly. The dress was cut so that her shoulders were shown. She wore long gloves on her arms. Her hair hung loosely and her veil was hanging a little bit below her thigh.

"You look beautiful"

Tomoyo said as while smiling sadly.

"That's because you made my dress!"

Sakura said while smiling at Tomoyo. Her happy expression was then replaced with a puzzled one.

"What's wrong Tomoyo? You don't seem as happy as I thought you would"

"Oh nothing. It's just that. 'Jake doesn't care. I thought he really understood and was willing to call the wedding off' "I'm just glad you're happy"

She answered with a fake smile.

"Thanks Tomoyo. You have no idea how much it means to me hearing you say that"

The bridesmaids then left the room so they could get some last minute things ready. Tomoyo was putting the finishing touches on Sakura when they heard a knock on the door.

"Come in"

Sakura said. Her father along with Touya walked in.

"Hi daddy!"

Sakura said cheerfully. Fujitaka smiled at his daughter. He knew Jake was good to her and yet, he saw sadness in her eyes.

He smiled at her and gave her a hug.

"Do what your heart desires"

He whispered into her ear. Sakura was confused and didn't get what he said.

"You'll know what I mean when the time comes"

Touya then walked up to his sister. He couldn't believe that his monster was about to get married. Even he had to admit he never thought his sister would get married to any other guy other then that 'Chinese brat'

"You've grown up to be a beautiful young lady Sakura"

Touya said as he hugged his sister. At first Sakura was shocked. This was the first time Touya had said anything like that to her.

She smiled and hugged him back.

"Thanks big bro"

"Listen to dad, he has a point"

Touya whispered into her ear. Before Sakura could ask anything, Touya and her dad left the room.

"What did they tell you?"

Tomoyo asked when she saw the confused look Sakura had.

"They told me to.do what my heart desires"

Tomoyo smiled. They also knew whom Sakura rightfully belonged with.

"That's really good advice"

Before Sakura could answer, someone else knocked on the door.

"Come in"

1 Sakura called out brightly. Syaoran walked in and smiled at Sakura but he didn't say anything. Tomoyo then got up from where she was and headed to where Syaoran was.

2 "So.you're leaving"

3 "Yeah, I already said bye to Eriol"

4 "OK then, good-bye Syaoran. Take care of yourself. I'm sorry I couldn't do nothing"

5 Tomoyo said as she hugged Syaoran good-bye.

6 "Don't worry, it probably wasn't meant to be. Keep in touch Tomoyo"

7 Syaoran said as he hugged her back.

8 Meanwhile Sakura looked at them both with a confused look on her face.

9 "What did Tomoyo mean by you're leaving?"

10 Sakura thought to herself. Suddenly, Syaoran approached her.

11 "I'm sorry I can't stay for your wedding Sakura. I have some business to attend back home and the only flight the airlines had available was for today at 12."

12 He then hugged her and said

13 "Good luck in your marriage. You deserve the best"

14 He then let go of her and headed towards the door.

15 'He's leaving me? He's leaving me again?'

16 Sakura thought as tears welled up in her eyes.

17 "Tomoyo you knew? You knew about this and didn't tell me!?"

18 Tomoyo looked down at the ground

19 "Actually, yes I did. He told Eriol and I yesterday. He made us promise not to say anything so we wouldn't distract you with the wedding plans"

"Tomoyo! How."

Both of their heads turned when they heard the door to the dressing room open. Sakura looked up in hopes that it was Syaoran saying that he wasn't going anywhere. But it wasn't Syaoran. It was Jake.

"Jake! What are you doing here! You know it's bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony!"

Sakura said while trying to hide behind Tomoyo.

"Sakura, I have to talk to you about something serious.alone"

he said while looking at Tomoyo.

"Oh right!"

Tomoyo said as she made her way out of the dressing room. When she passed him she gave an are-you-going-to-do-what-I-think-you-are look. Jake smiled at her and gave a slight nod.

Tomoyo made her way out happily.

"Sakura you know you mean a lot to me. I've been doing some serious thinking and I think that what I'm about to do hopefully, will be the right thing."

"Are you talking about us getting married?"

Sakura asked as she became serious.

"Yes I am.Sakura, are you sure we're doing the right thing?"

"What?"

Sakura asked shocked. She couldn't believe that Jake was backing down. She thought that this is what he wanted.

"It's just.I don't think I'm the person for you. There's someone out there who loves you more than I ever could. And I've also noticed that deep within your heart, your feelings for that person runs very strong."

Sakura frowned

"You've been talking to Tomoyo haven't you?"

"Yes and I'm glad she did. If she hadn't talked to me, I wouldn't be here right now saying what I think is right."

"I knew it! why is she doing this to me!? Look Jake, there's nothing between Syaoran and me. We're a just really good friend that's all. I'm marrying you because I lo-.because I lo-."

'why can't I say it?'

Sakura thought confused.

"See Sakura, you can't even say the word love anymore, at least to me. your heart will only let you say it to that one person. Tomoyo has made me realize that you and Syaoran belong together. I'd hat to stand in the way of this beautiful bond you two share. Tomoyo didn't tell me this because she want to ruin your happiness, she did it because she want's you to _be_ happy"

Jake then embraced her into a tight hug.

"I wish you the best Sakura. It's up to you now. Don't let love get away twice"

Sakura then smiled at Jake and hugged him back.

"Thank you"

She whispered. She was glad that Jake had the courage to do something that she couldn't find it in her heart to do.

Jake then left the dressing room telling Sakura that he would take care of everything. All she had to do was make sure she got the airport fast enough to stop Syaoran from leaving.

Tomoyo walked into the room reluctantly.

Sakura looked at Tomoyo and then hugged her.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you Sakura but I had to do something!"

Sakura gave a soft laugh

"Don't be. Instead, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be walking down the aisle and then end up regretting it later on"

Tomoyo then hugged her back.

"Hey, no one knows you better then your best friend"

(SN: that's so true.)

"Well quickly! Help me change. I have to get to the airport!!"

Sakura said as she ran around the dressing room.
