ENDLESS PASSION
Chapter 10 - The Wedding Party
"Wow!! So Eriol finally proposed to you? Congratulations!" Sakura greeted happily to Tomoyo, who had just handed her a wedding invitation.
"Thank you, Sakura. I wouldn't think we would marry so early if you weren't there. But, I had to say sorry for what I've thought of you before, I just didn't know what I was thinking." Tomoyo told Sakura.
Sakura was alarmed. "No No!! Tomoyo, it's me who should apologize to you!! I shouldn't have made you worry in the beginning! Please, don't apologize to me!"
Tomoyo smiled, "Sakura, you're really great. Please accept the honor to be the bride's maid (a/n: or is it called Maid of Honor?!? I'll stick to bride's maid for now) on my wedding."
"Of course! I'm glad that you asked me, Tomoyo!" Sakura agreed.
Tomoyo gave Sakura a friendly hug. "Thank you, Sakura." A slight grin was visible on Tomoyo's face.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Whoa! Congrats, Eriol!" Syaoran had just received the wedding invitation from Eriol. "You've never told me anything about marrying so soon."
Eriol's smile spread from one cheek to another, "I thought I should show Tomoyo how much I love her, and this would be just the right time now."
Syaoran skimmed through the invitation. "Hmmm. . . . .the wedding's going to be next Sunday. . . .WOW! You could you really get all that preparations done by then??"
Eriol laughed, "Considering that Tomoyo's mother is so happy about this event that she wanted to do absolutely ALL the preparations. She wouldn't let me say another word, so I wasn't allowed to help."
Syaoran sweat dropped.
Eriol continued, "So, Syaoran. . .care to be the best man for my wedding?"
Syaoran jumped in surprise. "Me?? Best Man??"
"Tomoyo and I insist," Eriol answered. A sign of a small grin was visible on Eriol's face, but he covered it with his hands.
Syaoran thought over it thouroughly. "Hmmm. . . .fine, I'll do it. . ."
Eriol gave Syaoran a light buddy slap on his back, result a loud thump. "I knew you would accept!"
~~~~~~~~~~
The big day finally arrives. Friends and relatives from both side of the family came and filled the church with warm greetings and wide smiles. Everyone was there: Fujitaka, Touya, Sonomi, Kaho, Tereda, Chiharu, Naoko, Rita, Yamazaki, Touya, Yukito, Meilin. . . . . . . even Josh and Janelle was invited. It all was like a happy reunion, since everybody came to see this important event.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura and Tomoyo is inside the girls washroom, adding finishing touches to their heavy make up. Sakura was dressed in a beautiful, silky pink gown with laces running across her back while beads decorated her front. Tomoyo, on the other hand, wore the most eye catching wedding gown ever made. Her veil was beaded with diamonds, her snow-white gown shone like crystals while the bouquet of white magnolia flowers with small shoots of cherry blossom matched with her gown perfectly.
"Wow, Tomoyo! I can't believe you made such beautiful dresses! I'm amazed!" Sakura commented.
Stars appeared in Tomoyo's eyes. "Thank you, Sakura. I got all my practice from all the battle costumes I use to make for you! This time, of course, I had to make my own dresses since I don't trust the ones in ordinary rental shops. And besides, I'm honored to be able to make a dress for Sakura! Please, when it comes to your wedding, let me make your bridal gown!!"
Sakura sweat dropped. "Eh. . .hehehehe. . . . ok, I'll let you make my dress. But I don't think I will marry so soon."
"I have faith in you, Sakura, because I've already started making yours!! I couldn't stop when I finished my own gown, and I also had the perfect idea too!" Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
Sakura was quiet. 'Syaoran. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I'll never marry him!! Why would I care about him!' She acted like she's very mad, but deep inside of her, her feelings are not what she think it is. 'But. . .he already have Janelle. . .he'll never like me anymore. Gosh, what am I thinking? Syaoran and I will never be together again anyway. . .'
"Sakura?" Tomoyo waved her hands in front of Sakura's face. "Earth to Sakura, are you ok??"
"Oh!" Sakura jumped back to reality. "I'm sorry Tomoyo. . . I'm alright."
On the other hand, Syaoran and Eriol both straightened their suits in the men's room. Eriol wore a dark navy tuxedo while Syaoran wore a deep black suit (a/n: man, there's not much I could describe about suits. . .^_^)
"I still couldn't believe this day would come so soon," Syaoran started.
"Heh, I don't think it's really that early. As long as I love her, it doesn't matter when." Eriol said while spraying himself with his best perfume.
"You lucky guy, not very many people can find love so soon. . ." Syaoran stated.
Eriol eyed him, "Syaoran, don't forget that you found your love too. . ."
"Haha, you mean Janelle right?" Syaoran asked.
Eriol's face became serious. "You know what I meant, Syaoran."
Syaoran became silent after Eriol's remark. 'Hmph. . . why would I care about Sakura anyway? All she ever wanted was to be with that freak Josh, not me.'
"Syaoran, I want to tell you something." Eriol's voice deepens. "You better make it up to Sakura. Maybe you won't know, but she's suffering more than what you might think. Can't you see her acting so weird lately?"
Syaoran's expression changed. "Bah, what does she have to do with me?" He tried his hardest to act tough in front of Eriol.
"I just hope you know what you're doing, and don't go too far with you feelings . . . because love is hard to find." Eriol cued him.
Syaoran's face is still emotionless, but Eriol's words are still repeating through his mind continuously.
~~~~~~~~~~
When both side of the conversation was finished, they coincidently exited the washroom at the same time. Sakura and Syaoran both exits at the same time, so they came face to face with each other.
"HOE!!" Sakura screamed in panic. She didn't expect to see Syaoran come, especially face to face with her.
Syaoran snorted with a lazy attitude. 'Why must I see her like this?!?'
Tomoyo immediately rushed out behind Sakura. "What happened, Sakura? I heard you scream so loud." She immediately understood when she saw Syaoran standing right in front of them both. Syaoran looked away instead.
Eriol came about two seconds later to see what was happening. "Is anything wrong, Syaoran?" He too, like Tomoyo, got the message when he sees Syaoran and Sakura face to face.
"Geez, why didn't you tell me you invited her too? Then I'll know in advance not to come!" Syaoran said agrilly towards Eriol.
Sakura was also came. "What are you talking about?? Why can't I come? And besides, today is Tomoyo's wedding day and I was invited as the bride's maid!!"
Syaoran raised an eyebrow. "Bride's maid?" He glares at Eriol. "Why didn't you tell me she was the bride's maid? If I knew, I would never have accepted your offer as the best man!!"
Sakura was shocked right after his words. She turned to Tomoyo, "How could you do this to me??"
Tomoyo stepped beside Eriol and grinned, "Well, I thought this would be the best idea ever. There's no one else to take this important role other than the two of you!"
"This is a big mistake!" Syaoran shouted. "I'll never go on another minute with her being my partner!!"
For a second, Sakura was breathing fire. "I feel the same way! Either you find another best man, or I'm leaving!!"
Eriol wore his old sly look and replied back to them. "Awww. . . what a pity, right Tomoyo?" Tomoyo nodded, half grinning at the same time. Eriol continued. "This is the most important day of our life and we can't even go home happily. . .(sigh) I guess we'll never have a good memory on this wedding day. . ."
Both Sakura and Syaroan realized that they were acting childish, but they remained silence.
Tomoyo studied their faces. "So are you two still cooperating with us for today?"
Sakura and Syaoran weakly nodded, but sending glares at each other.
Sakura narrowed his eyes at him. 'I won't let him boss me around today. If he dares to touch me, I won't let him go that easily!'
Syaoran send the same cold stare to Sakura. 'If she think she's going to have it her way, I'll show her for sure!'
~~~~~~~~~~
"Now you may exchange wedding rings," the priest announced. Eriol and Tomoyo inserted the rings within each other's fingers, and then embraced each other with a long and warm kiss.
This romantic moment filled the atmosphere with many different emotions. Sonomi burst into tears so she covered her face within Fujitaka's shoulders, who was comforting her at the same time. Their group of friends watched them with watery eyes, and the others had smiles appearing on their faces. Sakura was happy to see Tomoyo marrying someone she loves, and somewhat envying her as well. Syaoran, on the other hand, looked like he was bored, but he also had the same envious feeling in his mind.
When Eriol and Tomoyo separated themselves from the kiss, the crowd screamed with joy and started throwing confetti and streamers towards the married couple. The girls bunched around Tomoyo, each giving her a hug and congratulated her with watery eyes. The rest of the guys patted Eriol on his back, commenting him about being a 'lucky guy' to marry such a beautiful wife in such early age.
The rest of the ceremony passed by quickly. People gathered around the garden outside for wedding pictures while others had long conversations with each other. Sakura and Syaoran were still acting cold as ice with each other, so they never even bothered coming close to each other except for pictures. Eriol and Tomoyo noticed them, but they shrugged. "There's nothing we could do. . ." Eriol sighed. Tomoyo agreed with him. "I thought this would be the perfect chance for them to make up, but I guess I was wrong. . ."
~~~~~~~~~~
The banquet had started, and the night is going by with lots of laughter coming out of the hall. Everyone ate a huge expensive dinner, danced wildly to the music, and even played games on the newly wed couples. Sakura and Syaoran, however, was quiet as ever, ocassionally sending stares at each other. Syaoran kept on drinking one bottle of beer after another, not knowing how much he had drunk during the last few hours. 'Why do we have to end up like this?' Syaoran thought. He couldn't keep his mind off of Sakura. 'What does that Josh have that I don't? Sakura, what happened to us?'
Sakura watched Syaoran drink, and slowly her heart starts to ache. 'Why is he drinking so much when he knows he can't drink? What in the world is he thinking of??' But after, Sakura just turned around and watched people dance instead. 'What does he have to do with me??? I don't care if he's drunk or not!' But Sakura still couldn't stand the fact that Syaoran's putting himself into pain, so she decided go and talk to him. But before she got up, Josh suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Sakura, may I please have this dance with you?" Josh's face was bright red, and he couldn't even stand still. Judging his current state, Sakura knew he must have also drank a lot.
"No thanks. . ." Sakura refused the offer.
Josh smiled, and his puffy pink cheeks grew pinker. "Come on Sakura, I just want to dance."
Sakura still refused. "Josh please, I'm not in the mood. . ." before she even finished, Josh had already dragged her up to the dance floor. Almost right on cue, a soft music was on.
"Sakura, this will be the first dance I'll remember!" Josh's face looked very happy and satisfied.
Sakura had never seen him so happy before, so she decided to stay where she was, even though she would much rather dance with Syaoran. The slow dance was very dreamy, and all other couples went up to dance. Josh was enjoying himself, but Sakura was just deep into her thoughts. She looked over and noticed that Syaoran was glaring at her and Josh. Sakura turned away. 'Hmph, why would he care who I dance with? It's not like it's his business!'
Syaoran's eyes was on flames, and he didn't realize he drank another whole bottle of beer. 'So now you're dancing with that ugly freak, huh? I'll show you, Sakura!' He stood up and headed towards Janelle, which was sitting at the other side of the table.
"Dance with me!!" He said to Janelle and grabbed her hands.
"Syaoran, of. . . . of course I'll dance with you. . ." before she finished, Syaoran had also dragged her to the dance floor, and purposely stood right beside Sakura and Josh. When Sakura saw them, she felt heartbroken, and angry at the same time.
Syaoran saw Sakura, and he felt his heart eased when he noticed the jealously within her. Just to make it worse, he pulled Janelle's head towards him shoulders, and embraced her tightly. "I love you, Janelle." He said it literally loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Tomoyo and Eriol looked over, and saw Syaoran and Janelle holding on to each other very tightly.
"What the hell is Syaoran saying??!!?" Eriol was spitting fire. "Doesn't he know he'll hurt Sakura! What the hell is he thinking anyways?"
"Maybe he just drank too much, so he doesn't know what he's saying." Tomoyo added.
Eriol rolled his sleeves up and formed a fist, "Well, I'll knock him back to his senses!!"
Tomoyo immediately stopped him. "Wait, Eriol! Just let them figure it out! It's not really our business and we shouldn't butt in." For the sake of Tomoyo, Eriol backed up. "Ok, whatever you say. . ."
Sakura was frozen by his words, and she felt tears running down her cheeks. "That does it, Syaoran! I'm leaving!!" Tomoyo tried to stop her, but she didn't care. "I'm sorry, Tomoyo and Eriol, I don't want to take this anymore!" She turned to Josh and grabbed his hand. "Josh, take me home!!"
Josh grinned, "As you wish, princess!" They both quickly disappeared from the hall.
Tomoyo gave a sad look to Syaoran. "Maybe you shouldn't have loved her all the way since the beginning. This might take away all the pain that she's suffering right now, all caused by you!" Tomoyo was also in tears, as she ran out the hall into the washroom.
The banquet suddenly became very quite, but Syaoran still acted cruel. "Who cares, let's continue to dance!"
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was sitting in the front seat of Josh's car, sobbing. Josh handed her a tissue paper while focusing on driving, "I still don't see why you're being so mad at that jerk."
Sakura looked over to Josh with her teary eyes, but she still remained silent.
Josh smiled softly, "Sakura, I want to tell you that I could give you more love than he can. . .maybe even more than anyone in this world can give you! Please, Sakura, give me a chance. . ."
Sakura felt her heart beating very quickly. This is the first time she felt this way in front of Josh. "But. . . I don't want to start any new relationships. . .after all that had happened lately. Please, give me time. . ."
Josh's smile still remained on his face. "I understood that I acted like a jerk these few months, but I can't control it when you're around. Sakura, you're the first girl that had ever gave me this feeling. I don't want to lose it. . ."
Sakura looked over to Josh's handsome face, but she knew very well that her heart still loves Syaoran, and it will only be Syaoran forever. "Josh, please understand that. . ."
"I know the day will come!" He interrupted. "The day that you'll accept my love isn't going to be far. I'll wait, Sakura. . . I'll wait forever until you'll love me the way you loved Syaoran!"
Sakura's felt her heart jumping out of her body. 'What should I do?'
Suddenly, Josh's face became pale. He tried jamming into his brakes, but it seems like it's stuck. "Oh my god!! The car won't stop!!!!"
Sakura's face also became pale. "What do you mean????"
"THE BRAKE IS STUCK!!" Josh shouted. He paniced and continued stomping at the brakes, but the car is still moving 80 km/h.
"Josh, what will we do???" Sweat broke onto their faces as Josh drove wildly to avoid the cars.
"God, this can't be happening!!! This can't be happening at this time!!!!" Josh screamed to himself.
Sakura noticed the red traffic lights in front of her. "JOSH!! LOOK OUT!!!!"
It was no use. There was no way the car would stop. In front of them was a giant truck intersecting the road. Josh took his last chance and turned the steering wheel. "Come on, don't let us die so early."
Sakura covered her eyes and screamed in fright.
~~~CRASH!!!~~~
The sight was horrible. The truck was unharmed, but Josh's car was like broken pieces of metal. The people around screamed and paniced. "HURRY!! CALL THE POLICE!!! CALL THE AMBULANCE!!!" The truck driver screamed. People around the street hussled to find telephone poles, while some digged out their cell phones. The area was completely messy, a mixture of car exhaust, pieces of metal from the car, and blood gushing out of the two unconscious bodies.

Eriol rolled his sleeves up and formed a fist, "Well, I'll knock him back to his senses!!"
Tomoyo immediately stopped him. "Wait, Eriol! Just let them figure it out! It's not really our business and we shouldn't butt in." For the sake of Tomoyo, Eriol backed up. "Ok, whatever you say. . ."
Sakura was frozen by his words, and she felt tears running down her cheeks. "That does it, Syaoran! I'm leaving!!" Tomoyo tried to stop her, but she didn't care. "I'm sorry, Tomoyo and Eriol, I don't want to take this anymore!" She turned to Josh and grabbed his hand. "Josh, take me home!!"
Josh grinned, "As you wish, princess!" They both quickly disappeared from the hall.
Tomoyo gave a sad look to Syaoran. "Maybe you shouldn't have loved her all the way since the beginning. This might take away all the pain that she's suffering right now, all caused by you!" Tomoyo was also in tears, as she ran out the hall into the washroom.
The banquet suddenly became very quite, but Syaoran still acted cruel. "Who cares, let's continue to dance!"
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was sitting in the front seat of Josh's car, sobbing. Josh handed her a tissue paper while focusing on driving, "I still don't see why you're being so mad at that jerk."
Sakura looked over to Josh with her teary eyes, but she still remained silent.
Josh smiled softly, "Sakura, I want to tell you that I could give you more love than he can. . .maybe even more than anyone in this world can give you! Please, Sakura, give me a chance. . ."
Sakura felt her heart beating very quickly. This is the first time she felt this way in front of Josh. "But. . . I don't want to start any new relationships. . .after all that had happened lately. Please, give me time. . ."
Josh's smile still remained on his face. "I understood that I acted like a jerk these few months, but I can't control it when you're around. Sakura, you're the first girl that had ever gave me this feeling. I don't want to lose it. . ."
Sakura looked over to Josh's handsome face, but she knew very well that her heart still loves Syaoran, and it will only be Syaoran forever. "Josh, please understand that. . ."
"I know the day will come!" He interrupted. "The day that you'll accept my love isn't going to be far. I'll wait, Sakura. . . I'll wait forever until you'll love me the way you loved Syaoran!"
Sakura's felt her heart jumping out of her body. 'What should I do?'
Suddenly, Josh's face became pale. He tried jamming into his brakes, but it seems like it's stuck. "Oh my god!! The car won't stop!!!!"
Sakura's face also became pale. "What do you mean????"
"THE BRAKE IS STUCK!!" Josh shouted. He paniced and continued stomping at the brakes, but the car is still moving 80 km/h.
"Josh, what will we do???" Sweat broke onto their faces as Josh drove wildly to avoid the cars.
"God, this can't be happening!!! This can't be happening at this time!!!!" Josh screamed to himself.
Sakura noticed the red traffic lights in front of her. "JOSH!! LOOK OUT!!!!"
It was no use. There was no way the car would stop. In front of them was a giant truck intersecting the road. Josh took his last chance and turned the steering wheel. "Come on, don't let us die so early."
Sakura covered her eyes and screamed in fright.
~~~CRASH!!!~~~
The sight was horrible. The truck was unharmed, but Josh's car was like broken pieces of metal. The people around screamed and paniced. "HURRY!! CALL THE POLICE!!! CALL THE AMBULANCE!!!" The truck driver screamed. People around the street hussled to find telephone poles, while some digged out their cell phones. The area was completely messy, a mixture of car exhaust, pieces of metal from the car, and blood gushing out of the two unconscious bodies.
