Hurt, Hope, Happiness

*Chapter Five - Tomoyo and Sunnie's Thoughts*

Tomoyo collapsed on her bed, "After all that, I'm exhausted."

After the Movie Theater, she and Trave went out for ice cream. Neither one had noticed Eriol or Kieta at the theater.

Tomoyo sighed and tried to collect her thoughts. I really like Trave, but I'm in love with Eriol. Aren't I??

She opened the drawer and looked at the picture she kept of Eriol in her desk. She remembered that she had been in love with him. For a long time, she could even remember faintly of a wish that she had made a year before. She wished that Eriol would come back someday. This was the day, but she didn't feel as though he was her one true love anymore.

Tomoyo reached back in the drawer and pulled out a second framed picture that she kept with Eriol's picture now. It was a picture of Trave. She had met Trave the year after Eriol left.

To their parent's surprise, the two became fast friends. Tomoyo had never thought of him as more than a good friend, a big brother of some sort; until now. Tomoyo had changed over the years. She started to realize that waiting for Eriol would be heart breaking, but it hurt even more when he came back and forgot about her.

Tomoyo held the two pictures close; Who is it that I love? I know Trave well, and I used to love Eriol. Eriol's changed though, he's not the same person he used to be, not the person I remember.

Tears flooded her eyes and a tear dropped onto her bed. Reached back into the drawer and pulled out two yellowed letters. One was from Eriol from the day he left and the other was from when she and Trave first met. She opened Eriol's first, carefully unfolding it. She read the words in her head,

Tomoyo,
Never forget me, I'll come back to see you soon. I hate to leave you like this. Don't let my cute descendant get married to cherry blossoms without my consent.
I miss you already,
Eriol


Tomoyo pulled out the other letter,

Tomoyo Daidouji,
My mother is a friend of your mother's. My mom has sent me here to learn at your school. I hope that you won't tire of me and that we'll get along good.
Trave Laenenjio


Another tear dropped to her bed as she put the two letters and pictures back into the drawer.

By the time the drawer was shut, tears were streaming out of Tomoyo's eyes. She buried her face in her pillow and cried, trying to figure her life out.

*//(^ ^)\\* The rest of this chapter is my thoughts and feelings of the story this far, sorta like a bunch of author's notes. Here I'll answer any questions I found in the reviews and explain things that I came up with while writing this.

I don't know what I was thinking when I created the character 'Trave'. I started out typing the story, thinking it was going to be just your normal, everyday E+T. Then it turned into this.

I feel so sorry for TomoyoI made her so sad in this chapter. Kieta is really getting on my nerves, even though she is my creation. Poor Eriol, he loves Tomoyo

I don't think I've been spelling names rightbut I can try, can't I?

Sneak Peek into Chapter Six

Tomoyo turned back around and was silent.

"Is it about Hiiragizawa? I won't lie to you Tomoyo, and say that I don't care that you have feelings for him."

More silence engulfed the room.

Tomyoyo's voice shook when she finally spoke, "I don't know if I love him the way I did for so many years."
