Please Don't Cry: Flashbacks

(A/N: I might go angsty on you, but it'll be okay! Also, I was inspired by that song, "The story of beauty" by Destiny's Child and decided to make an E+T fic about it! ^-^)

"Tomoyo honey, I'm getting married!" When 15-year old Tomoyo Daidouji first heard of that phrase, she couldn't be more thrilled. Her mother, Sonomi Daidouji, is getting married! 'And about time too,' Tomoyo had thought. It amazed her of how things have changed so fast for 9 months.

Tomoyo closed her eyes, and tears fell down from her face. She looked out the window, staring straight at the moon. "Why did you have to go?" she whispered. Tomoyo closed her eyes once more, and images of her mother leaving entered her mind.

~ Flashback ~

"Tomoyo, I have to go to North America," Sonomi Daidouji told Tomoyo as soon as she stepped into her daughter's room. Tomoyo looked up from the dress she was sewing. "Why do you have to go there?" she asked. Sonomi smiled. "I have to go there because my company is going bankrupt, and

hopefully, I'll be able to fix it in time." Tomoyo smiled back. "Do you know when you'll be back?" she asked. Sonomi sat down on the bed beside her. "I'm afraid not, honey," she said. Then she took Tomoyo's hand. "But I would really like it if you would come and keep me company," she offered. Tomoyo bit

her lip. "It's okay mother, I think I'll just go look after the house while you're gone," she finally said after a moment. Sonomi nodded understandingly and stood up. "The good thing is, your stepfather, Tokurashi (A/N: I made that name up, and I'm not sure if that's a real word.. Sorry everyone!), will keep you

company. Is that all right with you?" Tomoyo smiled. "It's okay mom," she said. Sonomi kissed Tomoyo's forehead. "I don't know how I got such a wonderful daughter," she said before leaving the room. Tomoyo looked at the door for a moment before continuing with her sewing.

~ End of Flashback ~

Tomoyo covered her face with her hands. "Why didn't I just agree to come?" she asked. She wiped her face with her sleeve, wincing a bit at the pain. She pulled up the sleeve of her shirt, and in the moonlight, her pale, white skin showed bruises. Tomoyo bit her lip from whimpering at the sight, and

Softly ran her fingers above the bruises. She flinched when pain shot through her body. Tomoyo sighed and unrolled her sleeve. "I don't get how one minute, he can be such a good stepfather, and next minute, he would abuse me," she whispered into the moon. A month after Sonomi left, Tokurashi

Would leave the house every night and would come home drunk. Tomoyo felt pity for him, probably because he's devastated that Sonomi is gone, and decided to comfort him one day.

~ Flashback ~

She spotted him in the living room, his eyes red, and Tomoyo shook her head sadly. She went over to him. "Tokurashi,

Why are you doing this to yourself? My mother wouldn't want you doing this if she was here," Tomoyo said. Tokurashi looked at her with his red eyes. He started to chuckle. "You think that I'm drinking because of your mother?" he asked. Tomoyo frowned. "Isn't it the reason?" she asked. Tokurashi

Chuckled even more, and he took a step toward Tomoyo, who took a step backward. "That's where you're wrong missy," he said, smiling evilly. Tomoyo swallowed hard. "Well then, why are you drinking for?" she asked, trying to hide the fear in her voice. Tokurashi took another step forward. "That's one

Thing your mother doesn't know about me: I'm an alcoholic," he said roughly. Tomoyo bit her tongue from gasping. She couldn't believe it. Her stepfather was an alcoholic! Suddenly, she was thrown back against the wall, Tokurashi pinning her in the wrists. "Did anyone tell you that you're one

Beautiful flower, Tomoyo?" he asked, and pressed his lips on her neck. Tomoyo shuddered as his wet lips traveled from her neck up to her jaw. She pushed him. "Did you forget that I'm your stepdaughter?" Tomoyo asked, angry that her stepfather would do such a thing to her. Tokurashi stood up, his

Eyes fuming. He grabbed Tomoyo by the hair, who cried out in pain. "Where's your manners, you worthless girl!" he hissed and slammed her on the wall. Tomoyo winced and slowly got up, pain shooting through all her body. With her last ounce of strength, she bolted through her room and locked it.

~ End of Flashback ~

Ever since then, she would lock the door as soon as he comes home. But she never thought that he would either bang on her door or go inside her room by opening her door. She recently got a cut on her stomach when she woke up to find Tokurashi undressing her. It then resulted to her kicking his face,

And Tokurashi took out a pocket knife and slashed her stomach. Luckily, it didn't go deep, but she was losing blood quick. So she ran from her house to the Kinomoto's, and helped her. Tomoyo pulled away from the window and grabbed a luggage from under her bed. She started to pack her clothes

Hastily. She couldn't take it anymore. She remembered her mother telling her that Tomoyo's father lives in England now, and gave her the address. Tomoyo found the address in her address book and placed it in her luggage. She then called the airport to save a one-way ticket to England. 'I'm going

To look for my father, and I'll just stay there because I can't stand living here anymore,' Tomoyo thought. Once she got settled, she opened her window and carefully hopped out of her room, and she ran to the Kinomoto's.

~*~

Kinomoto Sakura opened the door, revealing a tear-streaked face Tomoyo with a luggage with her. Sakura's eyes widened. "Tomoyo! What are you doing here?" she asked. "I just want to tell you that I'm going to England because I can't stay in that house any longer," Tomoyo said. Sakura shook her

Head in disbelief. "But why go to England? Why can't you stay here?" she asked. Tomoyo shook her head. "If Tokurashi looks for me, the first place he'll look is in your house, and I can't risk hurting any of you," she explained. Sakura hugged her friend. "All right. So what do you want me to do?" she asked.

Tomoyo smiled. "I need a ride to bring me to the airport," she said. Sakura grinned. "Hold on, I'll go ask Onii-chan," she said before bouncing off. A moment later, Sakura came back with Touya. "All right, let's go," Touya said. He recently got a car for his birthday, and Sakura was thrilled that she can

Finally go to school without her rollerblades. Touya took Tomoyo's luggage and they both headed towards Touya's car. But before Tomoyo went inside the car, she hugged Sakura one more time. "I'm going to miss you, Tomoyo-chan," she said. "I'm going to miss you too," Tomoyo replied. They both

Reluctantly pulled away, and Tomoyo smiled. "Tell Li-kun that even if I'm gone, if he hurts you, I'll have his head," she said. Sakura giggled. Sakura and Li Syaoran had recently started dating, and Tomoyo did all she can to embarrass the two of them. "I'll tell him, don't worry," Sakura said. Sakura and

Tomoyo hugged once more before Tomoyo went inside the car, and Touya drove off. What Tomoyo didn't know is that Sakura ran back inside, grabbed the phone and dialed fast.

~ Somewhere in England ~

A boy with blue hair and sapphire eyes that's hiding behind glasses picked up the phone. "Hello?" he said in an English voice. "Eriol-kun? It's me, Sakura-chan," Sakura's voice made 15-year old Hiiragizawa Eriol frown. "Sakura-chan, it's great to hear your voice again," Eriol smiled. "But what is it

That I can do for you?" he heard Sakura inhale before telling him about Tomoyo. "So I was wondering if you can let her stay at your place for the time being, since she has no place to go once she gets there," Sakura said. Eriol was quiet for a while, then said, "I'd love to have Daidouji-san at my house,

And I shall pick her up in the airport. Thanks for letting me know, Sakura- chan," Eriol heard Sakura squeal. "Thank you so much Eriol-kun! You're the best!" she exclaimed before they said their goodbyes and hanged up. Nakuru came down and saw Eriol smiling at the phone. "Master, Why are you

Smiling at the phone?" Nakuru asked. Eriol looked at his guardian. "Seems that Daidouji-san is coming to England," Eriol said. Nakuru squealed. "YAY! Tomoyo-chan's staying with us! Finally! Another girl in the house!" she cried and went back up the stairs to tell Spinel Sun the good news. Eriol

Chuckled. 'It would be nice to see how Daidouji-san turned out,' he thought before slowly going up to his room to change, for he has to pick up a girl from Tomoeda, Japan.



Angel-twinklez: I hope it's not that confusing.. Besides, Tomoyo will explain everything to Eriol in time, I just don't know which chapter is that... -_-U

Tomoyo: Angel-twinklez, don't you think that my role in your fic is kind of.. depressing?

Eriol: I know angel-twinklez! You're hurting my Tomoyo!

Angel-twinklez: -_-U I don't need this! Someone, please give me aspirin! ~ disappears ~

Tomoyo: ~ Looks at Eriol, who shrugs, then turns back to the crowd ~ I'm pretty sure angel-twinklez wants you to review this chapter, and why is she so touchy lately?

Eriol: ~ smiles innocently ~ Maybe because it's that time of the month?

Tomoyo: ~ Glares at Eriol ~ It's your fault, isn't it?

Eriol: ~ Runs ~ Bye everyone!

Tomoyo: ~ Runs after Eriol ~ Eriol Hiiragizawa! Come back here or I'll cut your head off!
