Lights, cameras, and reporters, surrounded the rectangular platform. People were cheering and clapping for their new successful fashion designer, Tomoyo Daidouji. She was dressed in a black skirt and white tank top with a tie string back. She also had on white studded arm warmers. Her new clothing line called, "Forever Yours", was where it originated. When the crowd quieted she began her speech.
"I would like to thank everyone for coming to this fashion show, I know I'm new, but I plan on staying in this industry for a long time. I would like to thank everyone who made this show possible, the models, my workers who stayed up with me till 2 in the morning, and especially someone who is really special to me. He was a big impact in my life, he believed in me and my work, when no one else was there." There was a long pause.
"Even though he isn't here tonight I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Eriol Hiragizawa, I love you..." The crowd went wild. Tomoyo stood with watery eyes and a smile on her face. She wished that Eriol could've been there with her.
//// FLASHBACK //// Inside Tomoyo's mind
I remember that day so clearly now. I was sitting in my room, sewing. I was crying
"Why am I doing this? I hate sewing! WHY! WHY!" More tears ran down my face, but I didn't stop sewing. I continued doing something I lost great passion for years ago. I hid from the truth. I hated life, and I hated myself. Then he showed up.
He climbed through my window. He told me to stop, and he was soaking wet from the rain pouring outside, but he didn't care. I remember him grabbing my needle and thread out of my hands and throwing it on the floor. "Tomoyo, you have to stop! You're hurting yourself, your mother, Sakura, and ME!" That sentence streamed through my head over and over, but I didn't get it. I bent down and got my needle and thread and continued sewing. But he took my needle and thread again. This time he threw it out the window.
"TOMOYO! LISTEN TO ME! You have to go on with your life. I know you loved Sakura, but you have to go on, find someone better. Tomoyo, you're a young, beautiful, kind, talented girl. Anyone would be lucky to have you. Just please stop forcing yourself to do things you don't want to." He stayed calm after his speech. You could tell he practiced it many times. It was the first time I've heard Eriol call anyone beautiful. I felt good. That's when I came to my senses, finally.
That's when I took my whole sewing kit and threw it out the window. I laughed. That felt good too. I hugged him and thanked him for coming and bringing me back to my senses. From then on Eriol and I saw each other everyday. He helped me with my problems and I with his. He was the one who helped me find my passion again, to sew. He was so much more than a friend. I owe him everything.
//// END FLASHBACK ////
She hadn't known she said her flashback out loud. The crowd was quiet. She blushed. "I'm sorry everyone for bringing up my memories, I know that want what you came for." The crowd was still quiet, until someone in the audience slowly clapped. Everyone joined in. Tomoyo stepped down the stage to see whom the clapper was, when she saw him her face lit up. "ERIOL! You made it! I thought you had gone back to England!"
"I wouldn't miss your special night for the world." Eriol leaned to kiss her on the cheek. "You mean everything to me to Tomoyo, you were always more than a friend, and you'll always will be."
Tomoyo was speechless. Her happiness shown in her eyes and she didn't know how to answer him. She looked around to see a crowd gathered. She hesitated. With a slight push from an audience member, she fell into his arms. The crowd cheered as the both smiled at each other.
THE END! I know this one was short, sorry if it is confusing.
