Chapter 1
Sakura Kinomoto watched Cherry Akizuki present on the stage with her act. On
TV she's perfect. Nice, beautiful, talented and admired but little did
the people know the real Cherry.
She just sighed as millions of people cheered at Cherry while she greeted them with this big, plastic smile.
"Hello Tokyo!! It's me Cherry! Thank you so much for coming here! So in dedication to you guys, I'll sing this song. Ready? Sing it with me if you know it okay?" She said cheerfully. Sakura smiled a bit as she saw the little kids smiling at Cherry with their glimmering eyes full of admiration. Cherry took a breath in and smiled at the audience. Then she started to sing.
Thank
you for being here with me
Through everything
It's been great
I could never have gone so far
Without that warm hand
Guiding me along the rails
Rusty and cold you made them warm
You've been so great to me so
I wanna thank you
For everything you've done
Each passing moment with you there
Could never have made it without your smile
Coz you're the light
The soul of my music
My angel
You've been behind me all the time
Through the great and worst
When I was about to run away you stayed
And made me look up
You've made life so much brighter
Made the dark glimmer
Made me glow
You're my
Angel
Sakura closed her eyes as she sang the sweet
melodic song singing every line by heart. Of course she would know. She wrote
it.
Cherry finished soon with a smile. The crowds cheered louder which made her sing another song.
"Okay, since that was over, how about something much louder huh?"
She spoke through the mic. The crowd agreed by cheer and she got ready.
It's the beat of the music,
Going louder as the music plays
People dancing across the crowds
Time to dance, time to sing
Can you feel the beat?
Feel the rhythm
Adrenaline rushing through your veins
Give in you can't fight it
The music is just too strong
To hypnotizing for you
Dance!
Sakura didn't hear
the rest of the song since her cellphone rang and saw it was from her boyfriend.
So she exited from the set and ran to where it was quiet, leading her into her
black lexus.
"Matt? What's
wrong?"
"Sakura, I miss you. You haven't been returning my calls and when
I call at home your machine answers it. When are you coming home?" He
spoke in misery. Sakura closed her eyes and pictured the blue eyed boy. She
felt tears crawl down her cheeks, wiping them away.
"I miss you too matt. It's just that Cherry's taking a lot
of my time. I want to go home but she claims she won't sing if I do, and
if she doesn't the other employees would lose their jobs." She sniffed.
Matt grew grim.
"Sakura, you can't leave me hanging. I love you but I just can't tell if you feel the same way." He admitted in sorrow. Tears ran down her cheeks once again but had no desire to wipe them away. Sakura sobbed.
"I'm so sorry Matt. I love you so much. I hate it here. I'm just sick and tired of this shit. I want to go home...... and be with you." She whispered and sobbed. Matt could not control himself and let the tears fall as well.
"Look Sakura, I'll always be here. I'll be waiting. I love you." He didn't wait for a reply and just put the phone down, leaving Sakura in to a burst of tears in her car.

Sakura came back only to find that the concert was over and that Cherry was back in her dressing room. She scanned the room and saw the trashcan full of fan letters.
"Do you even read your letters?" Sakura asked in a low tone. Cherry snorted.
"What do you think? I am not interested in those sappy things." She replied while dressing up. Sakura picked up the letters hardly wrinkled and place the bundle in her bag.
"Come on bitch,
let us go. I need my beauty rest. Remember, I need a new album. Make me those
songs you make okay?" She said in a posh voice to Sakura. She felt the
urge to kick Cherry but held it in. She just let a vivid injured Cherry make
her smile.
"Sure, queen of the sluts." She whispered following her.

"Coz I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you…" Sakura sang while she was in the tub. Sure she was the agent of a pop star put that doesn't mean she actually liked the music. Moreover she was a rocker.
She dreamt to become a
rocker once in her childhood but her creativity in actually writing it was below
zero. But she liked pop and all, but due to her depression of life rock made
a stay with her.
No wonder her boyfriend was a lead in a rock band.
But if though she became a singer, she'd be singing pop.
She turned off the mp3 player once she finished cleaning herself up and picked up a pen and started writing.
I miss you
I want to hold you
Need to kiss you
But I'm so far away
I am in need of your embrace
Of your gentle kisses
Your breath against my neck
But it's so impossible
Because you're all the way at the end of the road
While I'm here at a different place
All I can do now is to remember
Try and Reminisce,
trying to feel your kiss
Coz I'm so far away
Searching for your warmth
In my bed at night
My only wish is to be with you now
At your warm arms I pray to be
Tight you hold me with a feel of peace
Tonight, even just for one night.
Once the song was done tears stained the paper. She missed Matt. Her heart was empty.
Matt was Syaoran's best friend actually. Syaoran was in the band with them and used to play lead but as an heir to the Li Company he had to quit for a while but remained for some reason Cherry's boyfriend.
Matt was a blonde and had the most vivid blue eyes. He met Sakura in College, they first were competition to each other running for valedictorian but in the end Syaoran was the one chosen. They grew to be friends then to lovers. But lately they were drifting apart.
Matt had his tours so did Cherry. That meant Sakura had to come along.
But now she only had the heart to write about Matt. Every song that was sentimental was about him.

The group compiled at the studio as they waited for the pop star. Sakura was
hanging out with the crew sitting on the couches chit chatting.
"Come one Sakura! Play! We know you've got the most amazing voice. Heck! Even better that Cherry's!" Hana Ame coaxed. The other people in the room agreed and in defeat Sakura raised both her hands up in the air.
"Reina, would you hand me that guitar over there?" She asked smiling. A girl with purple eyes and dark violet hair gladly handed the guitar to her.
"What song do you guys want to play?" She asked.
"Wonderwall!" Yama requested goofily. Sakura chuckled. The crew knew this was her favorite song. She'd sing it goofily while they were working.
"Okay!" She said in a happy tone. Then she started to strum the guitar with the intro.
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
She felt her self smile while she played. But she didn't notice the others grin in amusement.
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
She continued to play but now even more seriously. This was her song, her favorite song. Her voice was brilliant and the people around her knew that. They all admired her. She was the real the Cherry; the one Cherry's fans thought they knew. She was multitalented, happy, kind, beautiful and innocent.
And all the roads we have
to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
Each strum of the guitar made by her was gentle but productive of an audible sound. She pleased all the people in the room unintentionally. She was the person everyone looked up to in the crew.
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
While she sang the song, her mind drifted to Matt. They used to sing this together along with the band. Those memories were happy so why did tears suddenly come in to the picture?
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
Each year, people pushed her to become a singer
but she refused since she never wanted the spotlight. But the more the years
passed by the more talented she has become.
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
She smiled at the nearing end of the song. She was
very sentimental indeed. People started to increase in number in the room watching
her sing but she didn't seem to mind or even notice.
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
She softened her voice as she repeated the last line. She didn't hear the people clapping until she was done. A slight blush crept on her cheeks as she gazed at the other people who watched her who weren't there a while ago. For example, Syaoran Li.

A/N:How'd you guys like that? I guess it was kind of long because of the songs. But I hope you liked it anyway. Review 'kay?
Oasis owns Wonderwall
But I own 'Guidance' and 'Beat' I know they were dumb
but that was the best I could do. *shrugs*
