Chapter 6: He's sorry
Tomoyo woke up once again from the same nightmare she had been having for the previous weeks. She leaned over to slam her alarm, but realized it hadn't gone off, but it would in a couple of moments. She turned it off, then got up and went to look at Momo. Tomoyo smiled as she went to touch Momo, not afraid to anymore, realizing they were only nightmares. But Momo's mouth wasn't moving like it would when she moved Momo's hair aside, or moved. But Tomoyo didn't notice and went into her bathroom to get ready.
"I just… Don't understand… Why would they break up all of a sudden?" Rika pondered the group consisting of Chiharu, Sakura, Syaoran, Takashi, and Naoko. Eriol and Tomoyo hadn't arrived yet.
"I heard that…" WHAM! Chiharu hit him upside the head.
"What he means is he doesn't know…" Chiharu said, sweat dropping. "Sakura-chan, you should know, you're Tomoyo's best friend… Do you know anything?"
Sakura froze. "Um… No… I don't have the slightest clue…"
"That's too bad…" Naoko replied. "Maybe it's something in the atmosphere…"
"Sakura, can I talk to you for a moment?" Syaoran grabbed her and and Sakura yelped as he pulled her away. They finally stopped outside. "You're keeping something…"
"Um… What do you mean Syao-kun…?" Sakura asked innocently, looking at him with a tilted head.
"Damnit Sakura, don't play games, I can see right through you! I've known and loved you for five years and I know you like a book."
"It's really been five years, huh? That's funny, time flies by so fast…"
"And don't try to change the subject. Tell me the truth. What happened between them?"
Sakura sighed. "Promise not to tell anyone?" Syaoran nodded. "Okay… One day Tomoyo was walking home by herself and heard a noise in the dumpster. It turned out to be a baby. So, she took it home and took care of it. Then Eriol found out about the baby and thought she gave birth to the baby, when in truths she's like a big sister."
"So that explains why Eriol said nothing cause he thinks she was keeping the supposed 'pregnancy' a secret, so didn't say anything…"
"And didn't say anything because he loves her-" Sakura slapped her hands over her mouth. "Oops…"
Syaoran grinned. "Ah… Predictable Cherry Blossom…"
"Shut up."
Tomoyo was looking down at the ground as she began walking down the halls. When she reached her classroom she didn't notice someone in front of her, causing her and this person to run into each other and fall down, him on top of her.
"Oops, I'm so sorry…" Tomoyo looked up to see Eriol right on top of her. They stared at each other for a while, then Eriol got off of on top of her.
Meanwhile…
"Aw! He got off of her!" Sakura exclaimed as she and the rest of the group watched Eriol and Tomoyo collide and land in an intimate position.
"Eri-Hirrigazawa-kun…" Tomoyo said grabbing her things off of the ground and bowing in apology.
"It's all right Daidouji-san." Eriol replied a little too cooly as he walked into their classroom. Outside it sounded calm and cooly, but inside he was breaking apart inside.
Tomoyo began walking into the classroom but paused in the doorway. "Oh, Eriol…"
School was in session and they were taking a pop math quiz, to Sakura's displeasure, when an announcement was made over the intercom. "Daidouji Tomoyo, Daidouji Tomoyo please come up to the office immediately."
Everyone looked at Tomoyo and she froze, looking at Sakura, and then began packing her things. She got a pink slip from the teacher and began walking down the hallways to the office to see her mother standing there. "What's wrong?!"
Sonomi looked at her daughter with sadness, worry, and grief in her eyes. "Tomoyo, maybe we should talk in the car…"
Tomoyo nodded, but noticed her mother had tears in her eyes, which was odd. They walked to the limo and got in. As soon as they got in, Tomoyo turned to her mother. "What's wrong?"
"Your Grandmother went upstairs today to go check on Momo, and…" Sonomi paused. "She noticed that Momo wasn't breathing. So, she called an ambulance, and they were able to get her breathing again but it turns out that her heart is three times larger then it's supposed to be, and is squeezing and suffocating her lungs. Now, there's two things we can do, and I have decided to leave the choice up to you, and I'll support them. Either we can just let her live the remainder of her life with her heart, or she can get an operation and give her a new heart from babies that have died from natural causes and organ were donated to help other children, but she could die from that procedure. Which would you rather do?"
"If she would have to die, I'd rather her die from trying to keep her alive than knowing that we didn't try to keep her alive." Tomoyo replied, letting everything sink in.
"Well, either way, she'll die a Daidouji, and your little sister."
Tomoyo nodded. "Wait… What?"
Sonomi smiled as she held out a packet of papers. "I adopted her this morning, officially. She is now your little sister."
Tomoyo smiled largely and hugged her mom. "Thank you!"
Lunch time at Seijou High…
Eriol was sitting under a cherry blossom tree, eating his lunch, too deep in his thoughts to notice someone walked up.
"You asshole!"
Eriol looked up. "Ah, it is my cute descendant."
Syaoran glared. "You broke up with Tomoyo because you thought she had a daughter? How low can you get?"
"No, I boke up with her because she kept her pregnancy a secret!"
"Tomoyo was never pregnant." Syaoran said. Eriol looked up surprised, speechless, so Syaoran went on. "The baby that you thought was Tomoyo had she FOUND on the street in a dumpster, and has been mothering it. For god sakes, Tomoyo's a VIRGIN! How could she have a kid? So thanks to you you lost the girl you loved and who loved you back." Syaoran then slapped his hand over his mouth. "Damnit Sakura! I love you but I don't want to turn into you!"
"She- She loves me?" Eriol asked.
"Yes…" Syaoran grumbled.
"Oh my god! What the hell have I done!?"
"Now I know what Touya goes through…" Syaoran thought.
"I have to do something…" Eriol was trying to think.
Syaoran sighed. "Sakura's worried about Tomoyo, because she left school, so we're going to go see her after school, you can come with us and try to talk to her."
"Thank you cute little descendant. How can I ever repay you?" Eriol smiled.
"Start by stop calling me 'cute little descendant'…"
Tomoyo sighed as she sat in one of the lounge chairs and rested her head against the end of the back. Momo was not in the OR, in chances of her life being saved. It was a six hour procedure, so she had to wait six hours. Suddenly the tune of "Papercut" began playing. She grabbed her phone, pressed the correct button, then answered.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo-chan! Where are you?!"
"I'm at the hospital…"
"The hospital?!"
"Yes, Momo needs an operation, a fatal one at that…"
"I'm sorry Tomoyo-chan, we'll be over there in asap…"
"No Sakura… It's okay-" Dial tone. Tomoyo sighed. At least she'll have the company of the Kawaiiest couple in Tomoeda… "Well, they weren't going to be here anytime soon," she thought, "Might as well try to rest…"
It took Tomoyo a while, but she finally was able to finally fall asleep. What she didn't know that during her sleep Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol arrive, and were devising a plan.
"Maybe you should phone message her?" Sakura suggested.
"No… Not really romantic… How about you throw chocolates at her, point, laugh, then eat her face off of the chocolate?" Sakura and Eriol looked at Syaoran annoyingly. "Or maybe not…"
Eriol snapped. "I got it! I'll sing this song we were dancing to on our first date!"
"But, how will she hear it? And where will the music come from?" Eriol grinned at her. "Oh no no no, use your own magic, I don't want to get caught!"
"Come on Sakura! Don't you want Tomoyo to be happy?" Eriol asked.
"Yea Sakura, or are you jealous?" Syaoran jokingly raised his eyebrow.
Sakura, feeling cornered, began laughing nervously. "Eh heh heh, of course not Syao-kun… Um, we'd need the song and voice card, right Eriol?"
Eriol and Syaoran looked at each other and grinned, if only they had Takashi…
Tomoyo began feeling herself wake up from a noise… a song? Her eyes fluttered open to look around…
"Another day has gone,
I'm still all alone.
How could this be?
You're not here with me.
You never said good-bye,
Someone tell me why?
Did you have to go?
And leave my world so cold."
Tomoyo began to recognize that song, but it sounded different. It wasn't Michael Jackson singing, it sounded like…
"Everyday I sit and ask myself,
how did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ears and says,
You are not alone.
For I am here with you.
Though you're far away,
I'm here to stay.
But you're not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though we're far apart,
You're always in my heart.
But you're not alone."
Eriol rounded the corner and smiled at Tomoyo, while Sakura and Syaoran were smiling behind him. Only the people in the lobby could hear the music and Eriol singing.
"'Lone, 'Lone.
Why, 'lone.
Just the other night,
I thought I heard you cry.
Asking me to come,
And hold you in my arms.
I can hear your prayers,
Your burdens I will bear.
But first I need your hand,
Then forever can begin."
Eriol walked up to Tomoyo and grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She was then against him now, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, still singing to the song.
"Everyday I sit and ask myself,
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and says,
That you are not alone.
For I am here with you.
Though you're far away,
I am here to stay.
For you are not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though we're far apart,
You're always in my heart.
For you are not alone."
Tomoyo's eyes began filling up with tears as she began seeing everything Eriol was trying to say. The tears began to over flow onto her cheeks and he wiped them away, and he was STILL singing.
"Whisper three words and I'll come runnin',
And girl you know that I'll be there.
I'll be there.
You are not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though you're far away,
I am here to stay.
For you are not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though we're far apart,
You're always in my heart.
For you are not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though you're far away,
I am here to stay.
For you are not alone,
For I am here with you.
Though we're far apart,
You're always in my heart.
For you are not alone..."
Then Eriol brought his lips to Tomoyo's, bringing her into a soft, passionate kiss. Her tears were still flowing, and he could taste them in their kiss. He pulled away, ignoring the applause happening in the background.
"Tomoyo, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for everything I did, I was just… I was just scared. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you so much, I truly do, and I know you love me too. I just hope you'll forgive me for being an idiot. Please forgive me?"
"I…" Tomoyo paused. "I…"
AN: He he he… 4 pages AND a cliff hanger… I love being a writter. ^_^
