Chapter 3-Syaoran's Predicament


Key:

blah = Thinking

"blah" = Talking

*******************************************************************************

Syaoran was walking home, not noticing he was crying, thinking of joyful moments of his love, now no more. He was recalling everything, from their problems to their admission in love, then they're supposedly 'break-up'. Now, I have to go home to Meiling, and tell her.......that's gonna be hard. He had all this thoughts, giving him a migraine. He sub-consciously grabbed his pendant, grasping it as if it were life and death. Wait, I didn't notice, Sakura never had here pendant on, maybe that was when she let go, just forgetting everything........ He though, remembering no little pink circle with a star and little ivory wings on the side around her neck, on a chain. With all this events wrestling in his head, he was at the step of his apartment. Well, here goes nothing.......... not noticing he had cried

*******************************************************************************

Meiling was in the living room, on the couch watching TV, waiting for a certain somebody to explain why they were in the dumps. I wonder, I hope it's not Sakura.............I don't know what I would do....... She then heard the door open, and in walked a slumping Syaoran. He was walking, really dragging his feet, and was about to head up to his room, until Meiling stopped him with a concern face on, standing up.


"Where are you going? Are you going to talk to me? You did promise." Meiling said with the same concern in her voice that was on her face. Please Syaoran........


"Might as well, nothing's going to stop you from finding out, let's sit down." Syaoran said depressed, while pointing to the couch. He then turned off the TV And then sat down with his long bangs covering his eyes. "What's you wanna know?"


"Well, I would like to know what's wrong? I don't like seeing you like this." Meiling said, trying to not get too emotional.


"Well, let's see..........everything. You know, I don't know why I'm here. Remember last night?" He asked, still with his head down, but sensed that Meiling nodded, he continued, " Well, I saw Sakura kissed this other guy in the restaurant a couple of blocks down."


"You sure it was her?" Meiling asked confused.


"Positive, I felt her aura. Now let me finish, no interruptions. Today, I was walking to the park, like I said. Well, I saw Sakura. It was the highlight of my day. She was acting all casual, ya know? Well, then he boyfriend, Fei Wong, he's from China, heard of me, came about their date. Well, I didn't want her to know I saw her, so acted natural, but then I had to talk to her. She told me she couldn't wait like I did, and I didn't blow up in her face or nothin', I just walked away, and here I am." Syaoran retold the story, with tons of sadness.


Oh, Syaoran............ "That's messed up. What are we to do?" Meiling asked in disbelief.


"I guess, go back to HK." He said in monotone.


"But we can't. You know what will happen if Sakura doesn't return with us, you'll be placed in an arranged marriage............ I don't want that to happen."


"Don't remind me, but I guess I'll have to."


"Oh no you won't! The great LI SYAORAN doesn't give up easily!" Meiling shouted with determination.


"I'm not going to fight Meiling, I want her to be happy." Syaoran stated, finally looking up at Meiling.


"Not being selfish, you need to!" Gosh, Syaoran so unselfish, and your eyes..........you've been crying...


"No, I won't!"


"You know we at least have to attend school, I already signed us up!"


"So? Just make up an excuse."


"At least fight for her! This is you're only chance! I did not break off our engagement for you not to marry the girl you love!!!!!"


"FINE! I'll fight, but on the sideline, not up-close and personal. I won't chase, and I'll be like her other guyfriends. Fair?"


Meiling thought about it for a moment, "Fair, but you better. We will stay for this senior year, I want to go the prom!"


"Okay, we'll stay, and I'm only doing this for you, Meiling. Plus, I'm sleepy." Syaoran then retreated to his room to sleep. Oh, Sakura............I'll try..............you taught me that................those green eyes..........Sakura............. He thought, right before he dosed off to sleep.


You better, Syaoran, I want you to be happy, YOU need to be.......... Meiling thought as she watched Syaoran walked to his room, a bit happier than earlier. I should contact my friends, but not Sakura, so kind of disappointed Syaoran, but I'm her friend............. I'll talk to her later. I know! I'll call Tomoyo! I hope she can help me......................... But first, TV Syaoran interrupted my soaps.......... Meiling then went to her earlier hobby before that saddening moment.
