Chapter 1
* * Sakura * * I dropped the phone with eyes wide-open and looking strait at a white wall. I could hear a male voice still yelling and calling my name. Images of my dad and brother flashed in my head. I could almost hear their voices. I felt like I was falling and my hands started to shake I felt week. But for some reason I needed to leave, leave my house and get away. In my mind I was screaming and I felt like I was alone in the world. I ran out the door of my house my coat forgotten leaving me in only a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. I ran and ran thinking of god knows what. I couldn't feel my feet until I tripped and fell onto the pavement. The voiced in my head turned into the man on the phone.
"Im sorry Ms. Avalon, Your father and brother were in a car accident. They. never made it. Im sorry. Im sorry. Im sorry." Those last two words kept repeating themselves and I couldn't stop them. I shivered as I felt myself fall into a small puddle. I then noticed it was raining and that I was cold. I was completely soaked. My own tears burned my eyes from the constant stream in which they came. I felt so forgotten, so alone, so. so unneeded and all I wanted was to be near someone.
That's when I saw it. I finally looked up and saw my best friends apartment. I got up from the ground still weak and sore from the fall. I slowly started to walk feeling the drips of rain fall on my skin. I was panting and found it almost hard to stand. Still weak I punched in the numbers 662 at the entrance gate. "Hello?" a tired male voice. I wanted to talk I really did, but I felt like something was holding me back. All I could say was, " Li. Please." "Sakura?" he replied. "I'll be right down, don't move." His voice sounded worried but all I could do was nod forgetting that it was just a speaker and that he couldn't see me. I was still thinking of my brother and dad and how much I'll miss them. I was so weak and tired, my head hurt, I was sore. My knees finally gave off and I started to fall but something stopped me. When I looked up I saw Li was holding me. He looked at me with worried eyes and when he noticed I was still weak he picked me up. His arms were under my back and under my legs. All I could do was snuggle up close to his chest gripping onto his shirt as if it was for dear life. I could feel his aura wrapping itself around me like a blanket. I didn't feel like I needed a bed or anything I just wanted to be like this. Held in strong warm arms.they were so welcoming.
* * Li * *
I ran to the gate as fast as I could and was just in time. I took her into my arms noticing she looks tired. I could feel her grip onto my shirt and move closer to me. I go up the stairs to my apartment and open the door. Walking in I shut it and go to my room. I lay her down but she still has a grip on me. She wouldn't let go. "Sakura?" I whisper. She slowly lets go and I move away as quiet as I can. That's when I noticed. She was in the rain. In a white shirt, you could almost see right through it. I blush furiously and turn around. I walk to my dresser and take out my old green button up shirt. I place it beside her and turn away again. I chant a spell and after, I turn back to her and look at her. She's in my shirt and her wet clothes on the floor. I walk up to her and cover her in my blanket. I look at her wondering if I should kiss her cheek or not. I decided not to and picked up her wet things to dry them. Walking out I close the door and leave her to sleep.
* * Sakura * * I felt warmth all around me and I slowly opened my eyes and sat up in a. bed? That didn't sound right. I closed my eyes and opened them again. I looked around and noticed I was in a room with white walls and wooden furniture. The bed I was in had green sheets and the four wooden posts. I looked to my left and saw two glass doors that lead to a balcony with a wooden swing seat with green cushions.
I was about to get out of bed when a sudden pain welled up inside me. I remembered all that happened. My family was gone. Tears began to form in my eyes. I was lost in my thoughts and crying but was suddenly shocked by a light touch on my shoulder. I turned at the touch but was unable to see who it was though my tears and I backed away. "Sakura. Its me, Li." I stopped short. I sniffed and wiped my eyes with my. green shirt? I blush thinking that he changed me. I stare at the sleeve for a moment. "I used magic, a spell to change you." I understood. He sat down on the bed beside me and smiled. I wanted to smile back but couldn't. He asked me if I wanted to tell him what happened. I didn't know. All I did was lean onto his shoulder and cry. He rubbed my back lightly and made small noises to hush me. "Their gone. My whole family is gone. The accident. Im alone. The policeman told me they were gone. I didn't know what to do so I ran, and I came here. Im sorry I didn't tell you first I was-" " Don't be sorry. Im here don't worry." "Li." I slowly look up at him and blush. I have never been this close to him before. Our noses almost touched. I place my head on his chest slowly taking in his scent. I smile to myself when he whispers, "Your not alone, Im here."
* * Li * * I smile down at her as she falls asleep in my arms. 'Yeah. I guess. she isn't alone. Look at her she looks so peaceful.' I sigh as I look at her not wanting to move, afraid Ill wake her. ' I guess I should get ready to go to bed. Its already 12:20 in the morning.' I slowly lay her down against the pillow and get up. I shut the door to my room leaving it open a little bit. I go to the closet next to the bathroom and take out an extra pillow and blanket. Placing them on the couch in the living room, I turn off the lights and lay myself to sleep thinking, 'An angel in my room. In my bed.' With that thought I fell asleep.
