Save A Heart
CHAPTER 6
- - normal pov - -
Sakura watched Syaoran. He definitely wasn't happy and the whole situation had made Sakura quite a bit baffled.
They were back at home after having met Sakura's boss, Eriol Hiiragizawa. Syaoran gripped the table rather firmly, old memories being revived in his complicated mind.
Sakura nervously fidgeted in her chair. Had she done something wrong? She hoped not! And how did Syaoran know her boss?
There had been no time for proper introductions or explanations when Syaoran had grabbed Sakura's hand, burst out of the office and back into the cold.
They were storming home, well Syaoran was anyway, as he half dragged, half pulled Sakura down the streets, Sakura wiggling her eyebrows in confusion.
"So....uh..." Sakura started but when Syaoran made no reaction, she quickly withdrew herself from Syaoran's non-existing attention.
There was a perpetual silence as Syaoran glared (with a particular person on his mind) and as Sakura stared around the room, not exactly comfortable as she scrutinized the kitchen sink, then the fridge and finally the tiled kitchen floor. She didn't dare move with the tense atmosphere drowning her apprehensive self.
"Sigh..."
Sakura looked up at Syaoran. He looked rather crestfallen. What had happened in his past? What was his relationship with Hiiragizawa-san.
"Sakura...." Syaoran started, "Sorry about before..."
"Oh no it's OK! Everything's fine! I was just confused! No problems! Eheh..." Sakura anxiously answered. She didn't want to worry Syaoran any more...
"I....I knew Hiiragizawa in primary school.... and middle school.....and high school..."
"I ..see.."
"We used to be friends..."
'Used to be?' Sakura thought, 'I wonder what happened...'
"I was new in the school...primary school...and he was pretty new too...so we kinda hung around together...we made friends together..."
"Uh huh...." Sakura replied, trying not to ruin the obviously uneasy situation.
"But we had a fight...and then our friendship was over...just like that...though I do think it was mostly my fault we didn't become friends again...but I was hurt.....and I never wanted to see him again....."
- - syaoran's pov - -
I was trying to explain. But I didn't know how.. Now that I was thinking about it, it seemed pretty stupid...the fight was had I mean...I had forgotten about it over the years, and had never wondered about anything about Hiiragizawa...but now...it seemed inevitable..
I looked at Sakura...
Those concerned eyes.
She was indeed beautiful.
And getting more beautiful every day.
She got up and embraced me...
And I loved her for that.
~a few days later~
- - sakura's pov - -
I opened my eyes. I looked at my clock. 7am.
"Yaaah!!" I yawned.
Today is Wednesday. I've been going to school, doing my work and everything's fine!
I explained to my boss that I needed more time for my work. And he said it was OK! I couldn't believe it.
THanks to Syaoran!
Syaoran has always been there for me. He cared for me when I was sick, and helped me with my problems.
And a couple of days ago, it was his turn. I never knew he knew my boss. They went to school together. But they had a fight.
I wonder what had happened. That day when Syaoran-kun was explaining to me, I hugged him because he looked so sad. I didn't want to make him think about his past predicament if it made him so depressed.
Syaoran is my only friend. And I love him - as a friend...or do I? Wait a sec! Where did that come from?
Syaoran is handsome...and polite...and kind..and caring... and so fun to be with. I have so many good memories with him.
He makes me so happy! And I want to make him happy too!
I think about him so much these days. Especially now since that incident on Saturday...
I wish I had someone to talk about these things with...
Like...a ...friend...a girl friend...
The ones you see on TV, read in books and see on the street.
They are so lucky...
My friends...I pushed my friends away.
I jumped out of bed, and threw my possessions around, looking for a special box I hadn't opened since...since...I can't even remember!
Then a saw a flicker of pink. There it was. I hated that box. But I loved it also.
It was the box with my past.
My horrible, terrible past.
I was scared now. Ha! Scared of a box with a few photos!
I jerked the lid open, believing that I was strong enough to take on whatever my past had to give me.
I held my breath and shut my eyes tight as I picked up something from the box.
I opened my eyes to a crack. Blurry stuff...
Blurry?
I opened my eyes fully so see that I was holding a photo of my last year at high school. The last photo that I had put into the box.
Tomoeda High School - Yr 12
I looked at the photo.
I saw nothing but blurred faces.
I tear slid down my cheek.
I still hadn't overcome my past.
I looked harder. I couldn't even see myself!
More tears erupted from my eyes, as I angrily threw the photo back in, slammed the box shut and kicked it under my wardrobe.
I am such a weakling...

What's for breakfast today??
Cereal, toast or soup?
I remember that day when Sakura and I went for a morning jog to the park. And that bread shop. Ha, what a memory.
I feel so... much... younger? No. I feel more alive... Yes, now that I'm with Sakura.
Sakura... She still can't remember.
Should I tell her of The Past? Or leave her to decipher her forgotten past, when she's ready?...
I grab my keys and go out to by some bread.
"6 mini rolls and a loaf of wholemeal bread please."
After buying our breakfast, I returned to our apartment.
Slam.
What was that?
Plonk!
I went to knock on Sakura's door. Was everything all right?
- - normal pov - -
Syaoran opened Sakura's door to find Sakura sniffling and wiping her eyes. Tears? But she looked more angry than sad.
"Sakura, are you OK? What's wrong?"
"Oh.......Nothing really. I'm just not very happy about something. But it's OK. Don't worry!" Sakura smiled as brightly as she could.
"But-"
"Really Syaoran! I'm fine! Let's go eat breakfast! I'm starving!!"
"O..k.."
And Sakura bustled out to wash herself.
Syaoran scratched his head. Sakura was keeping secrets.. NOT GOOD
Syaoran was there for Sakura. He told her, so sincerely.
But then, may be Sakura needed to do things independently...
When Sakura really wants his help, he'll support her with everything he's got.
Syaoran nervously rubbed his neck and went to the kitchen.
- - sakura pov - -
I squirted some toothpaste onto my pink toothbrush and started to brush my teeth.
As I did I stared at myself in the mirror.
There was only me.
I looked a lot better than before I met Syaoran. I felt healthier and more alive in a way too.
Syaoran has done so much for me, so I can't keep on burdening Syaoran.
I've got to do things on my own now!
AND help Syaoran! My friendship with him is so important to me. And the relationship between Syaoran and Hiiragizawa-san - it won't leave my thoughts...
I wonder why...
