He Completes Me
Chapter 13- Drowning...
I watch in horror as innocent people..my friends duck for cover in terror. I find myself frozen in place, he is addressing
me personally...I do not know what to say...all I can do...is tremble in fear. I fear what thoughts he may have hovering
dangerously in his mind...maybe I was right all along- it truly wasn't over...
The stench of fear fills the air as petrifying screams are heard, horrified looks plastered on their faces...sheer terror consumed
us all...
I see them all, on the ground..some..injured...others...not so lucky...
I search desperately with my eyes for a sign that everything will be alright..but there is none. My heart beats loudly in
my ears, echoing louder and louder overtaking my mind...I know what will happen next...I fear what will happen next..
I loathe the sight of this creature..yet I cannot help but feel pity for his misguided soul...I hear screams...terrying
screams...petrified cries for help...red, oozing liquid painted the ground...tears shed creating a heart wrenching mixture..
the stench of death is in the air...this I know I cannot escape..he came for me...
I try to calm him down..I try desperately to calm him down...I try so very hard to be convincing..but to no avail...
There is a struggle...an aching struggle until...until it's all over...I feel myself falling..falling into the darkness..
into the undiscovered country, Shakespeare's Hamlet called death...the afterlife...the end to mind..and flesh...
I hear him run over to me...I hear his harsh breathing...I see the fear in his eyes...I try to smile...but I cannot for I
feel paralyzed..with fear...with death...I wonder if he knew...I wonder if he would ever know how complete I was because..of
my Knight in Shinning armor...
I sighed my last sigh, smiled my last smile...breathed my last breath...
"Sy..aoran.."
The final moments of my life consisted of endless beeps...beeping..more
beeping...
I hear a voice..I've never heard before...
"Im sorry sir...we lost her....she....."
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
He cries over my body... my blood stricken body...
Flat line.
***********************************************************************
Syaoran..
"Hey babe, morning!"
She was twisting and turning all night long..she has been dreaming horrible dreams night after night...I refuse to rest...I refuse to shut my eyes for a mere moment's rest...I fear her visions may come true.
She believes he will return for round 2...or whatever round it would be.
My innocent Sakura...has been changed forever. She is terrified. Petrified. Horrified. I know she puts on a great act for the rest of the world..but when night falls..she falls victim to her nightmares..to his disguting grip...I find myself reaching for her as she screams trying to console her heavy heart..but I have a feeling..I KNOW that she will never be truly happy again..she will never ever be the same.
*********************************************************************
Sakura...
I find myself in a cold sweat. Syaoran smiles his brightest of smiles to try to calm me down. I can't fool him. I know he senses my agony, my pain..my neverending struggle with my demons..well the one demon in particular..the devil...Jason O Reilly.
*********************************************************************
Tomoyo...
I can't sleep...or maybe I can't wake up...Im in an endless whirlwind..
an endless struggle with what actually happened...I shiver as I stare
at my reflection...It's early. My beloved Eriol sleeps soundly on my bed. He wants nothing more than for me to be safe, I know that and I love him for that...the problem is...I can never have safety again...no, not ever again...
I feel so violated. Emotionally I am broken. Physically? I am unsure.
What did that creature do to me during my captivity? Maybe I will never know...I pray ..I pray to God that..my deepest darkest fears, are only that...and nothing more. I tremble at the very thought of his hands all over me...it just tears me up inside...
Suddenly a realization washes over me...I feel sick..very sick..
I look sick...
I am not sick...
No...not sick at all..
I'm actually...late...
******************************************************************
Syaoran...
I wait for Sakura down here in the kitchen. She and I have been ..well
living together...nothing more. We drew the line, we both agreed, despite our raging hormones' dissaproval...
I hear the water running. Im sure Sakura is taking a bath. The poor girl...her home was invaded...she can never return to how things were before...when things were normal..
I sigh to myself. Will she ever be truly okay again? Is the Sakura I fell in love with years ago lost in the fears..the uncertainties...the sleepless nights...
"Sakura"
Words find themselves in my head...(A/N Backstreet Boys' new song, Drowning!)
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
Girl you leave me breathless...
*******************************************************************
Sakura...
I find myself consumed with paranoia. I search the bathroom profusely for a sign of intrusion. Hidden cameras? Peeping holes? I know he is locked away..far away probably forever, yet..I feel so scared...so alone.. I thank God for Syaoran who has been so helpful, so loving to me throughout this entire ordeal..but..can our love sustain us both? Or will I drive myself crazy with paranoia. Fear. Emptiness...
I climb into the bathtub. Warm water, so relaxing...but I dare not lie back in comfort..rather, I stare at the door, almost expecting the hideous creature to return from hibernation. My breathing quickens. My heart racing. My body chilled to the core despite the scoulding heat of the water. I continue staring at the door...the door knob...it...it's turning.. I nearly leap out of my skin... he's back!
The door is locked, but the intruder continues his attempts...
I fear the worst...until...the attempts cease...the door knob now still, my mind filled with fear...my body shivering in trauma...
"Get a grip Sakura! The guy is in a padded room miles away! He can't hurt you! Not ever again!"
I sigh in relief as my attempts of consoling myself arent completely in vain..
I decide that I should just relax...shut my eyes...surrender to peaceful dreams...
My eye lids fall over my eyes as the mirror fogs up.
Suddenly, I hear something.
My eyes shoot open...
"Hello Sakura..."
I try to scream...but I cannot! He grabs my throat...his grip..so strong..such a deathly grip..perhaps this was the end.
"You..You can't be here! Your...in the psyche..ward.. I..I..I.."
"Awww..did widdle sakouwa miss meeee..I miss you too babe!"
His grip still strong around my neck, slowly sqeezing the life out of me... I feel the need to cough...I can't cough..I feel so confined..so trapped...
He lowers his head. His lips meet mine. I struggle under his grip. I manage to scrape his face. He yelps in pain as he thrusts my head backwards onto the edge of the tub.
I feel dizzy...He is nowhere in sight...I regain some of my composure as I peer over the tub's side...
Suddenly his bloody face comes into view before my fear stricken one.
There are no words passed. I see the anger..the fury rise in him...it scares me...I feel I m too scared to think, to move! My head says
"Go Sakura..Run! HiT HIM!" my heart calls out to Syaoran, but I cannot do anything...but watch in slow motion as his hand slowly comes down over my head, ducking me into the once warm, relaxing water...
I can't breathe...
I hold my breath, trying to sustain life..but my eyes grow heavy...my lungs pushed the absolute maximum..I was going to die...he was going to kill me!
I struggle to at least reach the surface for one last breath..but to no avail..his stength will always over power mine...not even magic coul save me now...It was all over...I wait patiently for death to extend it's hand to me...
**********************************************************************
Syaoran...
But it's okay 'cause
You are my survival...
Breakfast is on the table, but she is nowhere near it! I wonder if she is alright. The running tap water has been going for quite awhile...she must still be in the shower..
I can't help but feel a bit of concern...
"Calm down Syaoran..Im sure she's just fine...she's in the bathroom! Jeez!..But still..I cant shake the feeling that something is up..."
I sigh, trying to push away my negative thoughts. Im sure she's fine.
Now hear me say
I can't imagine life
Without your love
Even forever don't seem
Like long enough...
*********************************************************************
Eriol...
I find myself face to face with my alarm clock. I slept in again. How can I not when I sleep next to such a perfect creature like Tomoyo?
I sigh to myself, the thought of not having her by my side just gives me a chill...
I cant help but fear what Jason did to her during her state of vulnerability! I can't quite understand though...how did Syaoran actually let the guy live after all that happened?
FLASHBACK..........
"Syaoran man, you've gotta calm down, let the police handle this..stick with Sakura!"
"Listen, I ll take good care of her..right after I make damn sure that he doesnt live to see another day!"
"So what are you going to do? Kill him? You ll be just as bad as him!"
"Then so be it! He hurt Sakura!He hurt the people we love! How can you stand there and dare ask me such questions! You know as well as I do that he is not human! Killing IT is ridding the world of evil! He is the devil incarnate Eriol! I SWEAR he is!"
"I know my friend but..we can't kill him..."
"Fine, "we" can't...I CAN!"
I find his strength unbelievable! I can't hold him back any longer! He lunges at Jason who was still being escorted by the police. Syaoran and Jason flew over the hill..tumbling down...down...down...all the way to the bottom.
Sakura desperatly tried to free herself from the restraining cops and Tomoyo who refused to let her follow Syaoran and Jason to the bottom.
The girls were soon escorted to a police car for their own protection. Some police officers were heading down after Jason and Syaoran but...for some reason they were taking their sweet time! I remember hearing one say, "That psycho stalker is the 3rd one this week! He deserves every bit of abuse that boyfriend of hers gives him! I dunno about you but I m rooting for the boyfriend!"
"Syaoran..don't do anything stupid..." I find myself saying, knowing that Syaoran would be so consumed with anger that my words would seem nothing but a tiny breeze blowing his hair into face increasing his annoyance and frustration.
After a while the police made their way down to peel Syaoran off Jason who had no blood left in him after the beating Syaoran gave him!
"You can hurt me Syaoran..but it ll never be over..never!"
I find myself holding my friend back again..he had so much fire left in him! I can't help but wonder...will this fire just extinguish on it's own..or will it build up until it consumes him whole..completely...
But then again..would that be so wrong?
***********************************************************************
Sakura...
My lungs fill with water...it's only a matter of time..
My eyes begin to close...
************************************************************************
Syaoran...
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in...
Ok. That's it. She's been in there for over an hour. There is no harm in just knocking on the bathroom door to check up on her...she ll understand my concern won't she? Of course she will...
I head towards the stairs and begin to climb. A sudden fear washes over me...
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it....
My pace quickens..I skip a stair or two and make a sharp right...my feet are wet...puddles everywhere...I stair confused at the ground when suddenly it hits me like a ton of bricks.
"SAKURA!"
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
************************************************************************
Sakura...
The end..is nearing...Goodbye Syaoran...
I find myself crying with my last ounce of strength adding to the water that drowns me...
My eyes begin to fall when suddenly the face above me is no longer the same evil, taunting face...I know this face...a wonderful face...I smile...I am bathed in darkness...
I wonder if he knew...
Syaoran...
"SAKURA!!!!"
I finally realized that the water was coming from the bathroom! I knocked profusely on the door, slamming harder and harder causing my knuckles to split open. Fear consumed my heart. I kicked open the bathroom door, more water rushing out to greet me. I made my way to the tub...there she lay...her eyes were open...but were closing..
I gasped in shock and panic. I pulled her out of the water wrapping her in a towel. I lay her on the ground and felt for a pulse...
"Oh God...No...SAKURA NO!...NO!!!!!!!"
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love........
I begin CPR, a desperate attempt to save my love. I wasnt even sure if I was doing it right! All I knew was that I had to try..or she would die..
"SAKURA DONT YOU DARE DIE!!!!!!"
Baby I can't help it
You keep me...
Suddenly her eyes snap open as her blue lips part, vomiting the galons of water that entered minutes ago.
"Sakura! Oh God, are you alright? Sakura! SAKURA TALK TO ME!"
She coughs more and more as her lungs begin to fill with air once again.
"Syaoran..."
My face lights up hearing her strained voice speak my name. She was alive. Sakura was alive. I wrapped my arms around her never wanting to let her go.
Drowning in your love.....
************************************************************************
Sakura...
Syaoran saved my life. He begged me to let him take me to the hospital to ensure that I was indeed okay, but I refused. He was all that mattered to me. I remember collapsing from exhaustion into his warm embrace.
I find myself in his bed, tucked in...clothed...I giggle to myself as I picture his scarlet red cheeks blushing madly once the shock wore off.
I was nice and dry now. Where was Syaoran?
"Syaoran?"
Maybe I'm a drifter
Late at night...
I hear him run up the stairs in a panic.
'Cause I long for the safety
Of flowing freely
In your arms...
"Sakura! Are you ok? Are you are you?"
I stiffle a laugh, he's so cute when he's worried about me.
I nod. He approaches the bed and lays down next to me, wrapping his strong loving arms around me. There was no better feeling.
"Uhm..Sakura..tell me what happened.." he asks softly still concerned.
"Well..to be honest I ..don't really know! I was in the tub, when I saw the door knob twist once, twice, three, four times, until it ceased. I tried to relax, so I shut my eyes. Suddenly...HE was there...HE just appeared hovering over me. I couldnt scream, I couldnt move! He kissed me, so I scratched his face...he got angry and began to..drown me...
Oh Syaoran! I was so scared!"
"Sakura, honey, you were probably just dreaming...the tap must have been on the entire time...an hour later...you were drowning..the entire floor filled up with water...Im such an idiot! I should have listened to my instincts and checked up on you sooner!"
"No! NO Syaoran, it wasnt your fault! Really!"
I see sadness, guilt and pain in his eyes. It was all my fault. I loved Syaoran so much, to hurt him ...the sight of his sorrow just unbearable to mine eyes!
His arms tighten around me.
"Damn him! Damn Jason for hurting you!"
"Syaoran..I know..but it could have been worse..."
Syaoran....
I find myself thanking God that she was right. Sakura was violated, her privacy taken from her..but her innocence still stayed with her...for that I was relieved...but she is still paralyzed with fear...there may only be one way to rid her of such fear...Jason doesnt deserve to live..
I don't need another lover
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me....
**********************************************************************
Eriol...
I find myself on our bed again. I stare at the bathroom door. Tomoyo has been in there for quite a while..I wonder if she is alright.. I can't imagine her ever being "alright" again...the violation she suffered! I think she believes Jason raped her! I swear..if I find out he did...my hands can't stranger that S.O.B. fast enough!
Tomoyo...
Late. What do I do?!
***********************************************************************
Sakura...
Syaoran and I are just laying in each other's arms, never wanting to let go...I feel so protected..so safe in his arms...
Silence fills the room. A peaceful, serene silence. Syaoran begins to whisper in my ear words...words so beautiful it makes my heart beat ten times as fast..
Oh can't you see
I can't imagine life
Without your love
And even forever don't seem
Like long enough....
He sends butterfly kisses up and down my neck...my spine curls in comforming to his muscular, protective..built body which encircles me..
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again......
**********************************************************************
Tomoyo...
I make my way out of the bathroom. Eriol is waiting for me with his gorgeous, welcoming smile. I can't help but smile back despite what I know...I dont know how to tell him ...he ll want to break up in a heart beat I know it!...
"Tomoyo..I love you..and I have a few things to say to you..."
I wait in anticipation..
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again...
Syaoran...
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
Eriol...
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love....
Tomoyo runs to me from the bathroom doorway and jumps into my warm embrace..so much for finishing the song. We laugh together as we wrestle playfully in the bed...
"I love you Tomoyo...no matter what.."
Her melodic giggles end abruptly..
"No matter what? Are you sure?"
I nod, slightly alarmed by the tone of her voice as well as the question.
"No matter what Tomoyo, Im going to marry you!"
Tears floor her eyes in a matter of seconds...
"Well I pray you don't change your mind after what I'm about to say Eriol..I..I..uhm...I'm..Late..."
**********************************************************************
Syaoran..
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist...
I find myself singing in a low voice...I see her melting into my arms...Who knew there were feelings so sureal...who knew we would be here together...
'Cause you're the air
That I breathe....
She smiles in approval. Her teary eyes twinkle in the morning light..
Everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
And baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love.....
***********************************************************************
Jason...
1102900 squares in this row on the padded wall, do da, do da! Damn Im so bored! At least when I was free, I could watch Sakura undress, or take a shower or something...Oh Sakura...I miss you so much...It's only a matter of time...
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning
In your love
I keep drowning
In your love
Baby I can't help it
Can't help it no, no....
"Mr. O Reilly, you should eat something"
"Oh Lisa, your so good to me honey..."
Lisa smiles and blushes. Lisa, 16 years old, the daughter of Dr. Hertz..my psychologist...my shrink whatever you wanna call him..
I wonder if Lisa can keep doing all these favors for me..heh heh...
"Oh Jason honey...what happened to your face? Let me clean you up."
Scratches. Blood.
'Soon Sakura...you either love me...or you die...if Syaoran should get in my way...woopsy..heh heh..beware babe..it aint over...'
************************************************************************
Syaoran...
Sakura lies in my arms. She fell asleep again. I guess it's better for her to sleep anyhow..as long as sleep comes easy...
I watch my perfect angel smile..only to see her frown just as quickly.
I sigh to myself. She is haunted. What can I do? I lean down low and whisper into her ear some peaceful words, hoping that they will reach her..that they will protect her...and show her my love...
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again....
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love...
Baby I can't help it...
Her smile returns, as does mine. An angel should never be sad...and I will see to it that her temporary depression will be a distant memory..no matter what the cost...
You keep me...
...I will do anything for you Sakura...you'll see...
...Drowning in your love....
How was that? A tad weird ne? Well no worries cause that's what I do best- confuse & amaze lol. R&R PLZ! Hopefully this will sustain you guys for maybe a day lol.

I remember hearing one say, "That psycho stalker is the 3rd one this week! He deserves every bit of abuse that boyfriend of hers gives him! I dunno about you but I m rooting for the boyfriend!"
"Syaoran..don't do anything stupid..." I find myself saying, knowing that Syaoran would be so consumed with anger that my words would seem nothing but a tiny breeze blowing his hair into face increasing his annoyance and frustration.
After a while the police made their way down to peel Syaoran off Jason who had no blood left in him after the beating Syaoran gave him!
"You can hurt me Syaoran..but it ll never be over..never!"
I find myself holding my friend back again..he had so much fire left in him! I can't help but wonder...will this fire just extinguish on it's own..or will it build up until it consumes him whole..completely...
But then again..would that be so wrong?
***********************************************************************
Sakura...
My lungs fill with water...it's only a matter of time..
My eyes begin to close...
************************************************************************
Syaoran...
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in...
Ok. That's it. She's been in there for over an hour. There is no harm in just knocking on the bathroom door to check up on her...she ll understand my concern won't she? Of course she will...
I head towards the stairs and begin to climb. A sudden fear washes over me...
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it....
My pace quickens..I skip a stair or two and make a sharp right...my feet are wet...puddles everywhere...I stair confused at the ground when suddenly it hits me like a ton of bricks.
"SAKURA!"
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
************************************************************************
Sakura...
The end..is nearing...Goodbye Syaoran...
I find myself crying with my last ounce of strength adding to the water that drowns me...
My eyes begin to fall when suddenly the face above me is no longer the same evil, taunting face...I know this face...a wonderful face...I smile...I am bathed in darkness...
I wonder if he knew...
Syaoran...
"SAKURA!!!!"
I finally realized that the water was coming from the bathroom! I knocked profusely on the door, slamming harder and harder causing my knuckles to split open. Fear consumed my heart. I kicked open the bathroom door, more water rushing out to greet me. I made my way to the tub...there she lay...her eyes were open...but were closing..
I gasped in shock and panic. I pulled her out of the water wrapping her in a towel. I lay her on the ground and felt for a pulse...
"Oh God...No...SAKURA NO!...NO!!!!!!!"
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love........
I begin CPR, a desperate attempt to save my love. I wasnt even sure if I was doing it right! All I knew was that I had to try..or she would die..
"SAKURA DONT YOU DARE DIE!!!!!!"
Baby I can't help it
You keep me...
Suddenly her eyes snap open as her blue lips part, vomiting the galons of water that entered minutes ago.
"Sakura! Oh God, are you alright? Sakura! SAKURA TALK TO ME!"
She coughs more and more as her lungs begin to fill with air once again.
"Syaoran..."
My face lights up hearing her strained voice speak my name. She was alive. Sakura was alive. I wrapped my arms around her never wanting to let her go.
Drowning in your love.....
************************************************************************
Sakura...
Syaoran saved my life. He begged me to let him take me to the hospital to ensure that I was indeed okay, but I refused. He was all that mattered to me. I remember collapsing from exhaustion into his warm embrace.
I find myself in his bed, tucked in...clothed...I giggle to myself as I picture his scarlet red cheeks blushing madly once the shock wore off.
I was nice and dry now. Where was Syaoran?
"Syaoran?"
Maybe I'm a drifter
Late at night...
I hear him run up the stairs in a panic.
'Cause I long for the safety
Of flowing freely
In your arms...
"Sakura! Are you ok? Are you are you?"
I stiffle a laugh, he's so cute when he's worried about me.
I nod. He approaches the bed and lays down next to me, wrapping his strong loving arms around me. There was no better feeling.
"Uhm..Sakura..tell me what happened.." he asks softly still concerned.
"Well..to be honest I ..don't really know! I was in the tub, when I saw the door knob twist once, twice, three, four times, until it ceased. I tried to relax, so I shut my eyes. Suddenly...HE was there...HE just appeared hovering over me. I couldnt scream, I couldnt move! He kissed me, so I scratched his face...he got angry and began to..drown me...
Oh Syaoran! I was so scared!"
"Sakura, honey, you were probably just dreaming...the tap must have been on the entire time...an hour later...you were drowning..the entire floor filled up with water...Im such an idiot! I should have listened to my instincts and checked up on you sooner!"
"No! NO Syaoran, it wasnt your fault! Really!"
I see sadness, guilt and pain in his eyes. It was all my fault. I loved Syaoran so much, to hurt him ...the sight of his sorrow just unbearable to mine eyes!
His arms tighten around me.
"Damn him! Damn Jason for hurting you!"
"Syaoran..I know..but it could have been worse..."
Syaoran....
I find myself thanking God that she was right. Sakura was violated, her privacy taken from her..but her innocence still stayed with her...for that I was relieved...but she is still paralyzed with fear...there may only be one way to rid her of such fear...Jason doesnt deserve to live..
I don't need another lover
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me....
**********************************************************************
Eriol...
I find myself on our bed again. I stare at the bathroom door. Tomoyo has been in there for quite a while..I wonder if she is alright.. I can't imagine her ever being "alright" again...the violation she suffered! I think she believes Jason raped her! I swear..if I find out he did...my hands can't stranger that S.O.B. fast enough!
Tomoyo...
Late. What do I do?!
***********************************************************************
Sakura...
Syaoran and I are just laying in each other's arms, never wanting to let go...I feel so protected..so safe in his arms...
Silence fills the room. A peaceful, serene silence. Syaoran begins to whisper in my ear words...words so beautiful it makes my heart beat ten times as fast..
Oh can't you see
I can't imagine life
Without your love
And even forever don't seem
Like long enough....
He sends butterfly kisses up and down my neck...my spine curls in comforming to his muscular, protective..built body which encircles me..
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again......
**********************************************************************
Tomoyo...
I make my way out of the bathroom. Eriol is waiting for me with his gorgeous, welcoming smile. I can't help but smile back despite what I know...I dont know how to tell him ...he ll want to break up in a heart beat I know it!...
"Tomoyo..I love you..and I have a few things to say to you..."
I wait in anticipation..
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again...
Syaoran...
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
Eriol...
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love....
Tomoyo runs to me from the bathroom doorway and jumps into my warm embrace..so much for finishing the song. We laugh together as we wrestle playfully in the bed...
"I love you Tomoyo...no matter what.."
Her melodic giggles end abruptly..
"No matter what? Are you sure?"
I nod, slightly alarmed by the tone of her voice as well as the question.
"No matter what Tomoyo, Im going to marry you!"
Tears floor her eyes in a matter of seconds...
"Well I pray you don't change your mind after what I'm about to say Eriol..I..I..uhm...I'm..Late..."
**********************************************************************
Syaoran..
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist...
I find myself singing in a low voice...I see her melting into my arms...Who knew there were feelings so sureal...who knew we would be here together...
'Cause you're the air
That I breathe....
She smiles in approval. Her teary eyes twinkle in the morning light..
Everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
And baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love.....
***********************************************************************
Jason...
1102900 squares in this row on the padded wall, do da, do da! Damn Im so bored! At least when I was free, I could watch Sakura undress, or take a shower or something...Oh Sakura...I miss you so much...It's only a matter of time...
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning
In your love
I keep drowning
In your love
Baby I can't help it
Can't help it no, no....
"Mr. O Reilly, you should eat something"
"Oh Lisa, your so good to me honey..."
Lisa smiles and blushes. Lisa, 16 years old, the daughter of Dr. Hertz..my psychologist...my shrink whatever you wanna call him..
I wonder if Lisa can keep doing all these favors for me..heh heh...
"Oh Jason honey...what happened to your face? Let me clean you up."
Scratches. Blood.
'Soon Sakura...you either love me...or you die...if Syaoran should get in my way...woopsy..heh heh..beware babe..it aint over...'
************************************************************************
Syaoran...
Sakura lies in my arms. She fell asleep again. I guess it's better for her to sleep anyhow..as long as sleep comes easy...
I watch my perfect angel smile..only to see her frown just as quickly.
I sigh to myself. She is haunted. What can I do? I lean down low and whisper into her ear some peaceful words, hoping that they will reach her..that they will protect her...and show her my love...
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again....
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love...
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love...
Baby I can't help it...
Her smile returns, as does mine. An angel should never be sad...and I will see to it that her temporary depression will be a distant memory..no matter what the cost...
You keep me...
...I will do anything for you Sakura...you'll see...
...Drowning in your love....
