My Sacrifice
"What are you talking about Madison?"Sakura asked her friend trying in vain to stop her face from becoming any redder."Oh please Sakura drop the act"Madison said not really bothering to lower her voice "You know as well as I do that you never got over him...in fact I wouldn't be surprised that the only reason you invited Li to your wedding was to see if he'd care enough to stop it".Sakura opened her mouth but promptly shut it again as Li re-entered the room."Sorry I can't stay I've got to go check on..something" and with that he left."See what you did now Madison"the younger girl stated "You made him leave".And with that she went into the kitchen to get some water. "Sakura.." Madison began but then stopped herself after thinking the better of it. "Look I uh..brought your dress for you "she said pulling out a large blue box from her bag. "Oh thanks Madison "Sakura said coming over. "Oh it's beautiful" she said for about the fourteenth time since she had taken it out of the box. "Thanks I guess" Madison said akwardly. "So well try it on " she urged her cousin. "Isn't that bad luck?" Sakura asked a worried look coming over her face "No Sakura..it's only if the groom sees you"Madison said and after Sakura had left to change added "And I don't think he has enough room in his head for anything but him and his mirrors".
"Stupid stupid" Kevin scolded himself as he climbed the stairs in Sakura's apartment.He had driven half way down the street when he had remembered that he'd left his jacket upstairs."Stupid Lester" he muttered to himself as he saw the other man run down the stairs."Maybe Sakura kicked him out " he thought hope fully.He stopped in front of the heavy oak door and pulled out the key.With a silent click the door opened to show Sakura...in her wedding dress. Now Kevin wasn't an expert on weddings but he knew that if the groom saw the bride in the dress before the wedding it'd be bad luck.And he wasn't in the mood to hear Madison call him names that weren't in the dictonary.So with that he pulled out the key and quitely closed back the door.Sakura never had to know.
