***CHAPTER 5***
Tomoyo glanced at her clock. It read 6:52 AM. She felt so tired, but couldn't sleep.
A strange feeling crept into her and she had the urge to do something. She decided to go to the place where she first met Eriol.
No one would be there, she thought. That's fine, I'll have the place to myself.
Once she fully awoke, she put on baggy pants and a sweatshirt. Before she stepped out of her room, she glanced out her window and thought she saw a light in Eriol's bedroom window.
That's weird...It's probably just my mind playing tricks on me since its so early in the morning.
She stepped out of her house, quietly shut the door behind her and began walking.
From his bedroom window, Eriol saw Tomoyo step out of her house and begin walking hurriedly.
Hmm...Where is she off to at this hour? he wondered. A thought of going after her came to his mind, but he shrugged it off with another thought of her probably wanting to be alone.
By the time Tomoyo reached her destination, the sky was turning a light shade of pink with the dawn approaching.
She laid down on the soft grass, staring at the sky, lost in her thoughts.
Vividly thinking, she failed to realize how much time had gone by. A growl from her stomach startled her. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was already 8 AM.
Wow, she thought. Time really flew by. It didn't feel as if I spent an hour here.
She got up, dusted a few small leaves off her pants and started walking home.
She reached her house and barely 10 minutes had gone by, when the phone rang.
"Ohayo Tomoyo-chan!" said a cheery, pleasant voice.
"Oh, ohayo Sakura-chan!" she replied.
"Guess what, guess what? Shaoran-kun and I are officially going out now!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Oh really?"
"Yup, I'm so happy!"
"Well congratulations. I'm happy for the both of you," Tomoyo replied, trying to hide the disappointment and sadness that was rising in her heart. She paused and said, "Well, I have to eat breakfast now, Sakura-chan. I'll talk to you later."
As soon as she hung up, her heart felt heavy and tears began forming in her eyes.
I can't cry. I'm really happy for them, especially Shaoran-kun. He's finally found happiness with her. And she's my best friend...I'm supposed to be happy. Even though she thought this, she knew in her heart that she didn't believe it.
By pure instinct, she dialed Eriol's number.
"Hi.Eriol? Can I talk to you?"
"Sure, what is it? What's up?" he answered.
She opened her mouth, but her voice was caught in her throat.
"Tomoyo-chan? What's wrong?" His voice was full of concern. "I'll be right over."
Tomoyo, still trying to hold back tears, didn't reply. Instead, she hung up the phone and waited.
when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and almost immediately, Eriol embraced her in a hug. He led her over to the couch.
They sat down and Tomoyo buried her face in her hands. She started to sob. Alarmed, Eriol couldn't help but hold her.
"What's the matter Tomoyo?" he asked, still very concerned. "You can tell me, I'm here for you and I always will be."
Tomoyo looked up with tear stained cheeks. "Arigatou." she replied. Wiping the tears away, she proceeded and told him the reason why she was so upset.
"....So that's the shortened version of my story. I love...I mean loved Shaoran for a long time...And now that he's going out with Sakura, I don't know anymore. I just don't know what to feel or think anymore." Tomoyo shook her head.
Eriol was shocked and didn't really know what to say. He stammered, "I-I- I...I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say."
A small smile formed on Tomoyo's lips. "It's alright," she said. "Thank you for being here for me." And with that, she gave him a quick peck on the lips.
He smiled, looked into her eyes and said, "Well, I hope you feel better. I'm sure that one day you'll find the one person you've been searching for and who will make all ur dreams and wishes come true."
Tomoyo stared back into Eriol's eyes. What he just said made her wanna melt right there on the couch.
"Arigatou gouzaimous....Oh! What time is it? I have to start preparing dinner!" she exclaimed.
Eriol stood up and started heading to the door. "I guess I better get going then."
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then. Thank you for everything you've done for me so far." Tomoyo smiled sweetly at him and Eriol, as he stepped outside, could feel his heart melting.
