"Sakura! No wait!" But it was too late. She had ran away before he could explain anything to her. It was hard for him to even get the courage to tell her. And now, remembering how she looked when he told her. The shock, the pain, it was unbearable. The one person who she had thought would never hurt her, just did. He sat back down on the wooden bench burying his face into his hands. He should've went after her, try to comfort her. But he HAD to let her go. It wouldn't be fair to her or to him, if they stayed in their relationship. It just wasn't what they wanted.

"How could he?" She asked herself repeatedly in her mind as she ran through the night. Her long audburn hair flowed backwards as she ran, wiping her tears away. It didn't make any sense. Everything was going so perfect, up until that moment. Her legs suddenly gave out as she fell to the ground. Though the pain could never compare to her heart's. It was as if he ripped it of her chest and then smashed it into the ground. She felt so sad and angry at the same time. Sakura laid on the floor curled up as she cried. The pain, it was simply torture. Knowing she can never hold him, knowing it was over. She just didn't want to believe it.

He looked up at the pale blue moon as he strolled through the park. The smiling face of Sakura appeared briefly. He closed his eyes and turned his attention to the asphalt. Momentarily he watched his shoes go ahead of one another. His hands were in the pockets of his denim jacket as he continued to solemnly walk through the quiet park. Trying to get HER off his mind. His heart sank as he soon realized she belonged to another. He is not the one she saved her kisses for, he is not one she thinks of before she sleeps, and he is not the one who selfishly keeps her from the rest of the world. Hiding her with his embrace. Althought he would like to be. Maybe one day.
He suddenly stopped as he looked over to his right. He stands still to make sure he had heard right. "Crying?" He mumbled. His foot left the asphalt as he hesitantly walks towards the sound. As he grew closer he became more positive it was crying. But from what or from who? Shoving aside shrubs, bushes, and branches he made his way until the sound became loud and clear. He walked slowly as he noticed a woman curled up on the floor, crying uncontrollably. He bent down quickly by her side. "Miss, are you hurt?"
She jumped up as soon as she realized she wasn't alone. Sakura looked at him wide eyed as she recognized him. "Sakura?" His voice sounded unsure. It was hard to see with leaves and hair covering her face. He stood up as he took a closer look at her. "Sakura, it is you! What happened? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine Li. Just you know, fell down. You know how clumsy I am…" Sakura tried to comb her hair with her fingers but it didn't work. It seemes as though nothing was working. There was a conspiracy against her. Somebody out there just doesn't want her to be happy.
"What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" She was a total wreck. Leaves and dirt were all over her. Thought Li couldn't see her face clearly, he knew something horrible had happened. Sakura was always cheery and cared for others before herself. And she's so innocent. That's what he like about her the most, the way she would trust a person she just met and the way she had a pure heart. Moments passed as she hadn't answered his question.
"Same reason you're out here," she replied unconvincingly. She hugged herself tightly as if she were afriad of him.
"I doubt it…" Another moment of silence passed between them. "Sakura whatever happened you don't have to tell me." She looked up suddenly and stared at him. "Really?" She asked. Li nodded. "As long as you let me walk you home. I'd hate to think something would happen to you if I leave you here."
"I can't!" Li stared at her confused. "I mean, otousan and oniisan are out of town for tonight. I-I don't feel like being alone." She said softly. This does present a problem.
"Hey you can stay over my apartment. I'll sleep on the couch."
"NO! I don't want to become a burden to you, Li."
"Well it's either that or leave you here. And what kind of friend would I be if I left you out here?!?" He smiled at her as began to walk closer. "C'mon." He wrapped his arm over her shoulders as he pulled her to the walking path of the park. Sakura didn't protest just followed him. She was glad he was there, but emberassed that he had seen her that way. She could just imagine how horrible she looked.
They quietly walked back to his apartment with his arm still around her.
