Chapter Two: Help
Sakura and Syaoran were among the crowd of bystanders. They stared up at the tall building in complete shock that their friend was the one on the top of it, on the verge of jumping to her death. Sakura shook Li for the millionth time, cursing herself for being so selfish and not noticing that her best friend's life was a hell hole because of her until now.
"Shinjirarenai, it's TOMOYO who is about to jump!" Li exclaimed.
"Kami-sama Syaoran, what are we going to do? We cannot let Tomoyo kill herself like this!" Sakura screamed, her face streaked with tears. They had tried to call her down, but to no avail. Sakura was hysterical and wasn't thinking straight.
Fortunately, Li was. "Use the Sakura Cards, hurry!" Li responded. He was worried about his friend's sake.
"Hai, let's get somewhere where nobody can see us!"
The both of them ran behind a building into an alley where they were hidden from plain view. Sakura summoned her wand and provoked the Fly card.
"Let's go!"
She lifted Li and the pair flew up to meet Tomoyo from the back of the building so that no one would see.

Tomoyo was about to jump when she heard Sakura's voice calling to her. She turned around, heart filled with anger and annoyance that once again, Sakura took away what she really wanted. This time, it was freedom from her pain.
"Tomoyo-chan, why are you doing this? Onegai, come down before you really fall and kill yourself!" Sakura's voice was concerned.
"Stay away from me! If you come one step closer, I'll jump right now!" Tomoyo warned.
"Tomoyo, what's going on, come down! And what were you talking about "misery"!?! Syaoran demanded.
"Look, just stay away from me! Neither of you understand what I'm going through; you've never felt it before!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Maybe not Tomoyo, but we want to help you!" Li reasoned.
"Yeah Tomoyo-chan, what happened? Is there anything we can do to help? We won't let you just kill yourself like this! We still care for you, you know. Onegai, come down!" Sakura's face was wet with new tears.
"Really? Well you have a good way of showing it!" Tomoyo yelled at them bitterly.
"Gomen nasai Tomoyo, we're really sorry if we hurt you, we were so busy with each other lately that we never took the time to consider how you were feeling if we left you out like that. We're really really sorry. If you still care for us or even Eriol's sake, you would come down. He would be worried about you, too. He really cares for you." Sakura's emerald eyes begged for forgiveness.
"No he doesn't. He's been blowing me off every time I call him."
"Tomoyo, just think of what he would say if he found out that you killed yourself! He would be horrified, he DOES care about you, just, please come down." Li-kun backed Sakura up, but he really meant what he said.
"NO!!"
"Tomoyo, please don't make us get you by force." Li said, "We don't want to make a scene, especially with all the people on the sidewalk wondering what's going on up here."
Sakura and Syaoran took a step towards her. Instinctively, she took a step back, but this time, nothing was there to catch her weight. With a jolt she realized she took a step too far and was going to fall. Tomoyo felt her heart fill with fear; she was going to die! She felt her weight pull her down and she started to plunge towards the ground in a free fall…
Author's note: Sorry, I know that this chapter s really short. I'll try to get the next chapter up really soon. Please review! =)
