A HIDDEN PLACE (chapter 8)
Syaoran looked at the scene with a big pain in his heart. He turned away in the moment he saw Josh kiss Sakura, and left to his room. He had looked to the window to see if she was coming, and had met the uncomfortable scene of the two people kissing. Life definitely sucked.
Meanwhile, in the front door...
Sakura couldn't hold it anymore. She let go of Josh, and he looked at her with a puzzled look in his face.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" he asked. "Josh, I'm really sorry, but..." she started, but stopped there. She didn't wanted to hurt his feelings. But she had to do this. "The only way I feel about you is like a friend. Nothing else". The way Josh looked at her breaked her heart, but she couldn't betray her feelings. "I'm really sorry". "It's ok. I should have known. I was not suppossed to push you like that" said Josh, smiling. She smiled too. "Don't worry about it, but I want to know a couple of things.." "Ask me anything you want" said Sakura, with a big bright smile on her face. "First, can we still be friends?" he asked. She nodded happily. "And second... is Syaoran something else than your friend?" "Hmmm... that's a long story. I don't know, I can't tell you that" she said. Her smile had dissapeared. "That's fine. Can I see you tomorrow?" he said. "No, I'd rather not" she answered. They hugged. "I'm gonna miss you" he said. "I'll miss you too" she said. "That's why you told me, right?" she asked. "Yeah. I wanted you to know it" he said. "Bye" "Bye" she answered and watched him go. She stood there thinking, now she had a weight out of her shoulders and felt much better. She walked inside the house and met Tomoyo who was just coming to the door.
"Sakura, what have you done?" she said. Sakura looked at her very confused. "What are you talking about?" asked the girl, leaving her jacket on the couch. "Syaoran just came to talk to me, he said to have by bags packed, because he called Kathy so the wedding could be tomorrow" said Tomoyo, and she looked very scared. "I don't want to let that happen" "What??!!" asked Sakura, in shock. "And what's my fault into this?" she asked again. "I asked, and he said that apparently you had made your choice, and he had nothing to do here" said Tomoyo, and took Sakura by her arms. "You kissed Josh, didn't you?" she whispered. "Oh my God" whispered Sakura. "Oh my God, he saw it". Sakura sitted down in the couch, Tomoyo fell next to her. "So you did?... Sakura, you killed him, you literally killed him, he is devastated, you should have seen his face. Why did you do it?" asked Tomoyo, almost yelling. Then she stopped when she saw that Sakura was crying. "Josh had just confesed that he liked me, so he kissed me" said Sakura, with tears falling down her face. "It surprised me, so I didn't reacted in the moment, it took me awhile. I told him that I wanted him as a friend, I don't love him, Tomoyo". Sakura started to freak out, but Tomoyo stopped her. "So, it was a mistake?". Sakura nodded, wiping her tears. "We have to stop Syaoran, now, and I also have a prove that Kathy's cheating on him" said Tomoyo, taking Sakura by her hand and dragging her upstairs. They were getting to Syaoran's bedroom when the door suddenly opened and Syaoran came out, ready to go. "Are you ready, Tomoyo?" he asked with a really cold voice. "As a matter of fact, Syaoran, I... we wanted to show you something" said Tomoyo, scared about Syaoran's change. "We are leaving in three hours, so you better be ready. I'm going now to get the tickets." He said, without even looking at Sakura. He went downstairs without talking to her. Tomoyo tried to go after him, but Sakura was faster and ran downstairs. She met him in the doorway.
"Syaoran" she said, but he was already facing her. "Are you coming?" he simply asked. "What?" "To the wedding, are you coming?" he asked again. "I don't know" she said. "You can come with Josh, I'm sure you'll have a great time". Syaoran's voice was filled with anger and pain. "Syaoran, I..." Sakura started, but Syaoran didn't wanted to hear anything. He was not going to hurt Kathy, besides, Sakura already had Josh. "It's ok, I understand you picked him. That's fine with me. I don't want you to regret later, that's all. I'll see you around" he said, and left. Without another word, he just walked away. "Syaoran!!!" she yelled, but he didn't came back. After all, he prefered Kathy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Eriol, this is serious" said Tomoyo, dragging him out of his room. "What are we gonna do?" "I don't know, the only thing that can work is that Syaoran sees the video. That's the only way" he said, hugging Tomoyo. "I hope Sakura can make him think about this" said Tomoyo, buring her face in his neck. Then she remembered something. "Eriol?" "Yes?" he answered, looking at her. "What are you doing now? I mean, you stayed here because of Sakura, but she's ok now... what are you gonna do?" she asked. "I think I'm going back, I have to go back to work. Why?" he asked, when he saw Tomoyo's expression. "I don't know, it's just that you are gonna be in some place and I'm gonna be somewhere else, what's gonna happen with us?" asked Tomoyo, sitting in the stairs. "You can come and stay here" he said, hugging her by her shoulders. "And I can stay here too, I can ask my boss to send me here, and you can ask for that too. So you can keep your studies here". Tomoyo smiled at him. "I don't want to be away from you either. So, what do you think about that?" he asked. Tomoyo nodded. "Sounds great" she said, and kissed him on the lips. He return it, and placed his arms on her waist while she placed hers on his neck. She played with his hair, then she parted her lips and their tongues started to play, as Eriol was pulling her closer to him.
But, as usual, something came in the middle.
Eriol ended the kiss suddenly. "Where's Sakura?" he asked. Tomoyo stood up. "She went after Syaoran when he left, but that was awhile ago, she should be here" she said, while going down the stairs, followed by Eriol. They saw Sakura, with her back leaning against the door, hugging her knees, crying. "Sakura" said Tomoyo, and went to hug her. Sakura started to cry even more. "He didn't let me explain" she said, in between her sobs. "He left, just like that, without even listening to me" "Shhh, it's ok, everything's ok" said Tomoyo, who was caressing her hair. "How can it be ok?!" said Sakura, yelling suddenly. "He's getting married. I love him, and he's getting married, he left me and all for my... fault, it's my fault" said Sakura, standing up and hitting her head with her hand. Eriol grabbed her by her shoulders. "Listen to me, Sakura: it's not your fault, it's nobody's fault" he said, but she wasnt's crying anymore, and she knew it wasn't her idea. "It is my fault, I didn't told him I loved him when I could, I never asked him to stay with me. But he loves her, so, even if I had asked him, he would have left anyways. I AM SO STUPID!!!" yelled Sakura. She was starting to lose it. "No, Sakra, calm down, it's not your fault!!" said Eriol, hugging her. Sakura started to cry on her brother's shoulder again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran was walking down the street with his bag over his shoulder. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice and bumped into someone.
"Sorry" he said. "It's ok, Syaoran" said the other guy.
Syaoran lifted his head and saw, it was Josh.
"Josh" he said, with hint of bitter in his voice. "Congratulations" "About what?" asked Josh. "About you and Sakura" said Syaoran. All he wanted to do was to beat the crap ot of him. "What are you talking about?" said Josh. It was weird, he knew that there was nothing between him and Sakura. "Stop playing dumb!!" yelled Syaoran, suddenly. "I know what happened today" "Nothing happened today" answered Josh. "I told her I liked her, and she said she didn't. We are still friends. End of the story". He said, and looked at his watch. "Gotta go, see you later, Syaoran" said, and left a VERY confused Syaoran in the street. 'Does this mean... she didn't chose him over me?' he thought. And he realized. 'You are so stupid Syaoran'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol and Sakura were talking. Tomoyo had already left, she had to be at her sister's wedding, even though she didn't wanted to, she was gonna be there. If she had to, she was gonna stop the wedding at the last minute. So, they were talking about their futures.
"So you are staying here" said Sakura, taking a sip of her tea. "Yes. I wanna be with Tomoyo" he answered. "And you are staying here too, right?" "No" she said, and he looked at her confused. "I never told about this to anyone, because I wanted to make sure it would work. I entered an exchange program, between students from different universities around the world. I know I was suppossed to tell you about this a long time ago, but each time I forgot to. I didn't needed your permission, I'm 19, you know?" "What are you trying to tell me?" he said. Sakura took a deep breath. "I'm leaving tomorrow for a year to Australia"
