CHAPTER 2
"Depression and Suicide"
Tomoyo's P.O.V
Sakura is over at my house, sleeping over. We have heaps of fun, mainly because we can forget about the mean, popular kids.
"What have you been thinking about lately?" Sakura asked me.
"Not much.... Wanna go to the bridge?" I asked her.
"At 10:30pm?" Sakura asked
"Hai" I said
"Ok, if that's what you want to do" Sakura gave me a funny look. We put on our jackets and headed out the door. We reached the bridge and looked down 100 meters to the water.
"Tomoyo, please tell me what this is about" She asked me.
"I'm can't handle it anymore, the laughing, nasty pranks, horrible insults. I just can't," I said.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked suspiciously.
I sighed "I'm going to jump" I said, looking over at the bridge.
"NO! Tomoyo, god, please, no!" Sakura started crying.
"It's the only way I can escape from all the pain..." my eyes were blurry from my own tears.
"Things can get better, we can move, we can do anything else, don't jump!" Sakura cried.
But I was already climbing up onto the edge. I let myself fall through the air.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sakura yelled, I had never seen her eyes look so desperate. She was hanging over the ledge, her arm outstretched.
"I'll never forget you, Sakura!" I shouted up at her. Those were my last words. (A/N - Don't be mad at me! It works out, I promise, I promise, I promise!)
Sakura fell to the ground sobbing, oblivious to the sirens, lights, police cars and ambulances around her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura's P.O.V
I couldn't believe Tomoyo was dead. I couldn't. I wouldn't. Dad made me go to school today. I don't know why. Like I was going to concentrate anyway. I entered the school, insults greeting me once again. Eriol wasn't at school. Was it possible that he'd heard about Tomoyo's death?
Syaoran came up to me. "Hey loner, where's your geek friend?" That was it. How dare he call my friend that? I was going to stand up to him. For Tomoyo.
"How dare you? You sick bastard" my lip curled into a snarl. Everyone looked shocked.
"What did you say to me?" Syaoran growled. He gave me a death stare.
"You pushed her to the limit. You and Eriol and the rest of you as good as killed her. She couldn't take it. She committed suicide. I hope you're happy!" I screamed, I was crying by now.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" I kept repeating, hitting and punching him as hard as I could on his strong chest. Finally I was so weak from crying and hitting Syaoran that I just rested my head on his chest, and cried. He picked me up easily and carried me to the school nurse.
Syaoran's P.O.V
I put Sakura down on the bed at the sick room at the office. She's really pretty, I can't believe I didn't notice it before. I thought.
"Oh, this poor little thing, just lost her best friend last night" The nurse said sadly.
So it's true. Tomoyo really is gone. And it's all because of Eriol and me. I thought to myself. I left the nurses office and joined Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and Yamazaki. I was surprised to see Eriol there too. They all had their heads hung low, too.
Nobody said anything. Nobody had to. We all knew what each other was thinking. The school day just drifted without meaning. Everyone seemed to be lost. (A/N - HEY! I just realized, this story is a lot like the song 'stole' so far!)
I walked home with Eriol and we talked.
"I don't want to believe it. Our horrible actions and tricks drove someone to death. Suicide." I said.
"Yeah, it's not right. Now I just wish I gave her the time of day, to get to know her, not make her life a living miserable hell" Eriol replied. "She was such a pretty girl, too"
Normally, I would've teased him about this but it just didn't seem right. Besides, I felt the same for Sakura.
"Remember in 5th grade? We were all such close friends. You, Sakura Tomoyo and me. What went wrong?" I asked.
"Us. We decided to play a joke on them one time and it was funny. So we kept doing them and they started to hate us. Jeez, you could die laughing at a joke like that" he answered.
Just then, we past Tomoyo's mansion. Well, former mansion. Eriol and I heard faint sobs come from the house. We couldn't blame Tomoyo's mother.
"I can't believe how much pain we have caused in the past 24 hours. I sincerely wish we could bring her back. I really do" Eriol said.
"But there issssssss..." We heard a floaty voice come from the sky.
