CHAPTER: 1: Love Unturned
A young woman was sitting on a swing. Out in a luscious green garden. She sat there. Gazing at the green grass, that was greener than green. The sun was bright and warm and the sky was clear, making it easy for the birds to fly. Today was supposed to be a happy day. Her best friend and the man she loved for many years were going to marry. They were perfect together. 'I should be happy.'
"When The Last Teardrop Falls"

She was dressed as the maid of honor. Yes, the maid of honor. She was dressed beautifully, but not as much as the gorgeous bride. Her natural auburn hair was put into a French twist, where a white diamond clip held it up. Her chin-length bangs, were curled down, giving it an elegant look. White, artificial lilacs, were placed in her hair, on the right side of the twist. To finish her hair off, a simple diamond tiara gave it away.
It's so hard to lose the one you love
To finally have to say goodbye
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry
Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone
Her dress was an elegant gown. It was a pastel lavender, as it was the bride's favorite color. It had thin straps holding it up and flowing sleek sleeves, that were cut falling down to the sides, making her arms visible and free to move. The top of the dress draped down transparently, like an angle of a ripple effect, stopping mid thigh. Then underneath it was another dress, that was plain white silk. It was embroidered with pale blue linings. The whole dress looked as if made for a goddess, someone unlike her.

I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
Her make-up was applied lightly. Her eye-shadow was a mixture of silver and lavender, matching perfectly with the dress. A light pink blush was applied on her creamy tanned cheeks. Black mascara and eyeliner were put near her eyes. So possibly, you could say that everything contrasted against her.
Her eyes. Her eyes was what was different. She hated them, but not fully, as it was the only things she has of her deceased mother. Why couldn't she have amethyst, the light shade of purple. It was something you never saw everyday. Yes, green, was rare, but other people had them. Amethyst was very rare, and most of all, her 'so-called best friend's' had natural ones. That was something scarce.
"Sakura?" asked a masculine voice, making her jerk up. She stared sadly towards him. The man she loved for a very long time. The man that captured her heart, making her feel happy and warm. The handsome young man, whom she had dreams about. "We have to leave for the wedding now." he said. He wore a black tuxedo, and had a lopsided grin. "Come on. Let's go." he smiled a sincere one. "Aw, come on, the limo is here." he said holding out his arm to her.
When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
Sakura stared at him for a brief moment. Emotions were void. "Okay." she said lightly clutching onto his arm. His touch made her feel torture. All she wanted to do was tell him she loved him, and the role he played in her life. Her joy, her feeling, her everything. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Forever. It was too late for that.
"Coming." she said lightly, walking with him to the sleek black limo, taking her to the place she would say good-bye to her love forever. No longer would she stand a chance.
So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side
'She always wins.' Sakura sighed.
**************
When they arrived at the church, the young man that she loved and yearned for, and Sakura went their separate ways. Sakura found herself entering a room, on the other side of the church. The room where her best friend awaited. She found herself looking at her best friend. They were friends for as long as she could remember, also finding out that they were somehow related.
Her best friend was smiling at the mirror, in her reflection. Her gown was simply gorgeous. It was white, of course, and it was embroidered with simple flowers all over, premeditated fully. It had sleeves that were like Sakura's dress, draping down elegantly and being pure white, Tomoyo looked like an angel. Her violet hair was flowing down in massive waves, but under a long white veil, being held by a large tiara, with diamonds.
The violet haired beauty turned around. A large smile on her face. Why wouldn't she? She was marrying the man she loved dearly. "Sakura!" she squealed running to her. "You look absolutely cute." she said, making Sakura twirl around to observe.

"Tomoyo!" Sakura giggled faintly. "Stop! You're making me dizzy!" she said as she came to an abrupt stop, staring face to face with her cousin. Making her feel sick to her stomach.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo giggled as she hugged Sakura, while Sakura just stood there. "I've really outdone myself haven't I?" she happily said as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror, then placing large diamond earrings on her earlobes. "He will be so happy!" Tomoyo said to Sakura in the eyes, with an malevolent smile, showing her pearly white teeth slowly.
"Of course!" Sakura chirped at the last remark. Tomoyo then heard the music playing, signaling that the wedding was to start. Sakura's eyes began to soften. 'This is it.' "Let's go." Sakura whispered, as she took her bouquet which was smaller than Tomoyo's.
"Go ahead Sakura." Tomoyo gestured spitefully, moving her out of the room. "I can't go out yet, because I'm the bride, and you are a maid." she spat out, eyeing Sakura in the corner of her eyes.
Sakura stared at Tomoyo blankly. "I wish you luck." as she kissed Tomoyo on the cheek, signaling that she lost once yet again.
*****************************
Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end, baby
Sakura walked over to the aisle. She saw the man she loved at the alter. He looked very handsome, compared to seeing him when they parted. His hair that once was gelled, stumped it's place and he looked nervous. He even looked more handsome.
"Ready?" a masculine voice whispered into her ear. Interrupted in her thoughts, she looked at the man beside her. He was the best man, the best friend of the groom. His hair was also gelled back and he had his lopsided grin as always. He wore a similar tux, just like the man of her life. He was an old friend of hers. Then, she crooked her head looking at the front of the alter, all she could do was stare. Doing the best she could do, not to cry.
He was Tomoyo's.
"Yup." she said giddily, trying to hide her dejection. Sakura then winded her arms with her escort. They both started walking down the aisle. She resisted herself at looking at the man she loved. Waiting. But for her best friend. However, she couldn't resist, she felt herself looking up to his form.
Her eyes began to water, but were left unshed. She had to be strong. But going this far was tearing her apart. Sakura continued to stare at him. His lips, the lips she wanted to touch, mouthed her three little words.
'Thank you, Sakura.'
Yes! It was she who got them together. But it was an accident. It was supposed to be him and her. She mistakenly got them to confess to one another, before she got her chance. Her! Then, no. No. He assumed that she had done it for the both of them. Tomoyo, the good-looking goddess! Not her, the skimpy little sidekick! She could just kick herself right there, right now. How stupid, she could not have done it.
Sakura still stared at him. But tore her gaze away from his smiling face, failing to see the small frown from him as she did that. It was forbidden. It could never happen. This was destined to be. She was never going to be with him. Why did everything have to go wrong. This had to be a dream, but she knew it was reality. Reality.
Then she heard it. The ceremony of Matrimony had begun. For many times, Sakura wished they'd break up and she could have her chance. But, she never did. It was going to be permanent. She won't be able to tell him.
"Dearly beloved." the minister began "We are gathered here today, to witness the marriage and undying love of Tomoyo Daidouji and…" the minister coughed, clearing his throat, then excusing himself.

"Syaoran Li." the minister continued.
AN: I want a lot of freakin review people!
