Author's Note: This is my first story, so it might not be all that good. The idea just popped into my head one day, so here is my first fic.
Goodbye to Hell
Chapter One: Path to Freedom
A young lady with long black hair stands on the top of a 26 story building. A cold wind is blowing and that is causing her to occasionally sway a bit unbalanced but she does not care. She is on the edge of the roof with an intention to jump, anyway. A step or two and the roof would end, and her path to freedom would begin. A big crowd of people passing by have stopped to watch as the police try to reason with her to come down. She will not. They cannot get to her because she threatens to jump immediately if they try. The news is all over the TV stations of a young lady who wants to jump off of the building to end her long life of misery. Misery, she says, that stings and rips at her heart everyday of her pitiful life, so much that she feels her only alternate is to die and end the suffering that way. She has not told the police what was causing her such misery, just that she wants it to end…
Tomoyo Daidouji looked down the tall building towards the ground. A crowd had gathered on the sidewalk. She had planned to make it quick, but on her verge of reaching what she perceives as happiness and freedom, she hesitated. Many were shocked when they recognized her as the calm and tranquil Tomoyo Daidouji they knew. She cringed, almost no one knew the true Daidouji. A tear slid down the curve of her cheek and down to her chin. What has become of her life? The police had gathered around the street, trying to talk her out of her jump. But nothing would persuade her.
A cool breeze blew by and swept her hair up with it. She sighed. Her life was so miserable and lonely that she decided there was nothing left for her here. She took a step forward on the roof of the tall building she was on. She stood dangerously on the very edge of the structure, looking down and wondering, if she jumped, would her mom or her friends even care, especially Sakura, and Eriol-kun.
Memories of how this mess had all began seeped back to her mind.
Ever since the Syaoran boy came from Hong Kong, her world turned upside down. Sakura was always with him and never had time for her anymore. The couple was always being sappy to each other and she ended up being someone that they just brushed aside. Tomoyo was sick and tired of it. She had confessed her feelings to Sakura in an attempt to get her back, but Sakura apologized and said that she was in love with Li and hoped that she would find her love soon, too. Tomoyo thought back to the times she spent in her room, crying her heart out.
There was one person that did understand her, and that was Eriol Hiiragizawa. He could see right through her the first time they met and he had always been there for her when she needed someone to talk to. She felt that he was someone she could always confide in, about anything. Tomoyo thought back to the times they spent together, just hanging out and talking. He always had a way of calming her and making her feel safe and needed in this world. She needed that right now, she didn't realize until now how much he meant to her. He had promised to always be there for her, but Eriol had been busy with Kaho lately. Every time she called him on the phone, he said that he was busy and she would hear bickering in the background.
So now, Tomoyo had no one to talk to. All her friends were busy with something or too wrapped up in their own lives to be there to comfort her. She hardly spoke with her friends anymore, beside the usual 'hello' and 'goodbye'. Even her mother never seemed to find the time for her. Sonomi was always on a business trip and didn't see her daughter very often.
When Tomoyo woke up in the morning, all that she would wake up to was a big, lonely mansion filled with maids and bodyguards. She wanted something to wake up to; it was lonely waking up to the loud silence that was always occupying the house.
Tomoyo felt the dark pain of loneliness and despair in her heart taking over again. She decided it was now or never. She took her final step forward, and prepared to jump.
