Recap: Eriol sent Tomoyo a very accusing letter and Tomoyo decides to write back with a lot of ferver.

Chapter 8

Tomoyo didn't get a chance to start writing yet as she saw that she received another letter from Eriol. She was nervous to open it, but she needed to know what he had to say.

Tomoyo, I'm so confused.

You say you like me and stuff and you tell people like Sakura that you like me and then when I was on my way to sonic you tell Syaoran and them you like me.....but they said you don't think I like you...Jeez I like you...but it makes me mad when I come over to see you and then I hear about guys you think are cute. hmm why would i think you like me when i hear about guys you think are cute..

Disbelief filled Tomoyo. "This can't be happening," she said, "Everything is supposed to be good an happy." She frowned, not wanting to read what else Eriol had to say, but she needed to know so she could fix it. Her eyes focused on the text again.

That doesn't make me want to ask you out.. and I wanted to for the last 2 days but then I hear about some other guy you think is cuts...that's fine if you do, but if you do I'll take is as a no that you don't like me...how am I suppose to want to ask you out when I hear about other guys...

Yeah, I'm sick of this letter and I'm only making myself look stupid...yeah I hoped I explained well enough for you to understand... and I hope it makes sense…

Eriol

Tomoyo gasped a loud when she saw this. Her heart ached and tears were starting to well in her eyes.

She couldn't believe him and what he was saying. She knew Eriol was the kind of guy that likes to play tricks, but this wasn't funny. She knew he was serious.

Tomoyo was shocked at what he said. She knew it must have bugged him for a long time and he finally said it, but she couldn't help it. She clicked Reply and started to write him; something that he would understand and express her feelings. She honestly did not know anything was wrong though. It all seemed to be ok to her.

The part that baffled her though, was that he choose to write about the time they went to Sonic and that was a while back.

Alright, I get it. Why don't you ever tell me it's me, because I know too, that I sometimes get on your nerves. So you are confused; not mad... maybe.

See, now I am really bummed that you are mad at me. I don't know what to do. But, I don't know what you are talking about now. I didn't say to Sakura and them that I didn't know if you liked me or anything. I didn't say anything about you liking me at all. I just said I liked you. That's it.

Tomoyo paused to think about what to write next. She had so many feelings going on inside her body, but she didn't know how to express them. Her mind was spinning and she didn't know what to do about it. So she continued with the letter:

You know I joke a lot about who I like. I'm quite picky. It takes a while
for me to like someone... and those guys, on the TV and stuff, who cares? It's not like I am ever going to see them. Or meet them and they are like so much older. People always kept bugging me about who I thought was cute so I just picked a celebrity. They aren't really though, I'm not that dense as to just like some one because of their looks.

Yeah, I'm very sorry. I like you Eriol. I'm sorry about talking about
all them. I don't mean to. I hope you understand what I am saying. I'm very sorry.

I would have still liked, you even if you didn't like me. You are my best friend now and forever.

Luv ya,

Tomoyo

She finished and sent it. Nothing is holding her back now. She has just revealed herself to Eriol, her best friend, and the guy she likes.

Within moments, she received a reply. It was amazing how they choose to go on the computer at the same time as each other. What made Eriol write whatever he did confused Tomoyo. He had a lot of energy and spirit, but it also has the ability to make her sad.

Tomoyo caught her breath when she saw another letter. She looked at it with excitement and uncertainty, for it may be another unhappy letter, but she clicked it open anyway.

Ok, hmm I guess it was just because you talked about other guys being cute in front of me…that's it…it just bummed me out to hear that…yeah…but I'm not bummed and because you said you still like me and that's good. Hmm like the one night I was about to ask you out or something, but then you told me the whole story on who you think is cute, but that's all over.. hmm I am so embarrassed to talk about this.

Yeah I wanted to ask you out today, but you fell asleep. Plus I think it is lame to ask over email. Hmm, Don't I feel stupid now.

Luv ya too,

Eriol.

Tomoyo read the letter over again. She blushed and smiled brightly at what they have just said to each other. Her heart began to beat at a regular pace now. She was relieved that everything was ok. Her smile grew broader as she realized what Eriol had just said.

"He wanted to ask me out several times before," she whispered. She was excited and nervous about this. It made her heart jump with joy and her eyes sparkle. "I hope he does it soon," she continued. Tomoyo replied something happy to him and then signed off the computer.

She felt giddy, she couldn't sleep. Thinking about Eriol kept her awake. All her thoughts were happy and cool. She blushed at everything that has happened. Soon she slipped into blissful sleep. Tomorrow might be even more eventful.

Joanni: Arrgh sorry this whole chapter is based on writing letters!! I didn't mean to make it that way... I got this one out faster as a sorry to making you guys wait for like ever for my last chapter. Well, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Matt because you inspired me, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be writing this now. So it's partly good and bad. WELL reviews are much appreciated.
