Hey, thanks for you're reviews, I finished this today, so yeah, I'll be
putting up the next chapter tomorrow. Oh, and with chapter four, I don't
know why it went all together like that, but I replaced it, so it should be
all good tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
It was almost time for school, and Sakura was hiding behind the bushes outside her house, waiting until Robert left. She hadn't been home all night, she had just wandered the streets, going over what Robert had done to her, and what Syaoran had said about telling someone. While she had been thinking about this, the two thoughts came together. Syaoran was right, if she didn't want him to to that to her again, or to her mum, or Katie, she would have to tell someone. But would they believe her? She needed proof, but what?
Watching as Robert walked out the frontdoor, with Katie, and to his car, she stopped breathing for a second, 'Please don't see me..., damn, he remembered Katie...' He climbed into his car and slammed the door shut. Pulling away in the car, he sped off down the road. Waiting 5 minutes after he had left, to make sure he wasn't coming back, she ran into the house.
"Mum!" She cried out, looking around her.
"Sakura! Oh god, Sakura, you're home! I was so worried!" Her mother said, rushing to Sakura, giving her a big hug and kiss on the forehead. "Why did you run away?"
"I just went for a walk, mum, to think about things, I needed to clear my head." Sakura said, it was painful to lie to her mother, especially about Robert, but she didn't want her mother to know, yet.
"Okay, that's fine, so long as you're alright. Now you better hurry and go to school," Sakura nodded and ran to her room, and prepared for school.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
It was after school, and Sakura was walking slowly home, she really didn't want to face Robert. He probably wont even remember what he tried to do, he was so drunk.
Syaoran wasn't at school, for some reason. This kind of depressed Sakura, she had been hoping to apologize to Syaoran, but she guessed it would have to wait until tomorrow. She sighed, and kicked the rock that was infront of her. She watched it as it flung into the lampost, making a clinging sound as it hit.
Finally she made it to her house. Seeing no sign of Robert's car, she walked up to the front door, and opened it. She thought right Robert wasn't home, but either was her mother. This worried her, where would her mother be during the day? Food shopping maybe...
She walked to her room, looking at every detail in the house as she went. It was horrible, dirty, and there were a few things that lay smashed on the floor.
Seeing all this, something inside Sakura snapped. She ran to her room, and unpacked her school bag, taking out all her books and such. Opening her wardrobe, she started shoving some clothes into it.
She was about it close up the bag, when the front door slammed. 'Oh no! Robert's home!' It had to be Robert, her mother would never slam the door.
Robert came into her room. "Hello, Sakura." he said, trying to be nice. He wanted something, and Sakura knew what. He put Katie gently down onto her cot. He turned back around to Sakura. "I think it's about time, we carry on with last night." he said, grinning evilfully. He started toward Sakura, he could see the fear in her eyes, as she stood there, not knowing what to do. The only hard thing near her, had been the lamp, but she had smashed that last night, what else could she use?
Just as he reached her, the phone rang. Robert let out a yell. Sakura dashed out to the hall while saying, "I'll get it!" a bit desperately.
"Hello?" Sakura said into the phone.
"Sakura? Is that you?" a familiar voice said.
"Syaoran! Oh thank god you called! I was so scared!" she said quietly, as to not let Robert hear.
"What's he doing?" Syaoran's voice said, frightened.
"Nothing now, you called just in time."
"Good, listen Sakura, I have an idea, would you be able to meet me at Penguin Park?"
Sakura thought this through, Robert would be angry at her, but Syaoran had an idea that he thought could save her family. She would take the risk.
"Yeah, sure, see in in 5."
"Okay, bye."
Sakura hung up the phone, and quickly ran out of the house, all the way to the park.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran walked about the park, looking for Sakura, hopefully she managed to get away. He had just about given up hope, when he saw her sitting on a swing. He went up and sat down on the one beside her.
Sakura looked up, "Hi,"
"Hey,"
"How come you weren't at school?" Sakura questioned him.
"I was planning my idea, and look for all the accessories we would need."
"Oh. What was your idea?" she looked at him, with hopeful eyes.
"Well, you know, if we told the Social Services, please don't get angry at me this time, I'm only helping."
Sakura looked at Syaoran, and gave him a small smile. "Don't worry, I know you are, now tell me your idea, I want to save my family."
"Okay, well if we told Social Services, they couldn't do anything, unless we had the proof right?"
Sakura nodded. "Right...."
"Well, in my bag, I've got a video camera, and a notetaker, if you could video some of the things he does and says, then we could go to Social Services, and they will take you all away from him."
Sakura looked at her feet as they slid across the gravel underneath her, thinking it over. She looked up at Syaoran, with a determined and happy smile. "I'll do it."
"Great. Now, do you know how to work these things?"
Sakura cheeks tinged pink with embarrasment, "No, I've never actually seen one before."
Syaoran opened his backpack and pulled out 2 video camera's and the notetaker. "That's okay, I'll tell you."
After Syaoran had finished telling Sakura how to use them, they started discussing when and how they would arrange them in the house.
"Well, where abouts does he...you know...hurt you, most?"
"Umm..." Sakura thought, "The lounge."
"Okay, so you can assemble one up in a corner or hidden behind something, in an area that shows the whole lounge. Where's another place?"
"Um...probably...the....um....we can put one in my bedroom, incase he...tried to rape me again....and for Katie."
Syaoran snapped his head back to Sakura, "What? He tried to rape you?" Sakura slowly nodded her head.
"Oh god, Sakura. I'm sorry, I should have been there."
Sakura shook her head, "No, it's okay, you weren't there, it's not you're fault, it's his, and the alcohol."
"Okay, well, were definitely putting one up in your room, and I'll give you the note taker, and you can put it in your pocket, incase he ever abuses you verbally. I guess that's all we need, right?"
Sakura nodded again. "Thank you Syaoran, I don't know what I'd do without you."
Syaoran went over and hugged Sakura, "It's okay Sakura, it's what I'm here to do, help and look after you. Um...Sakura...I was wondering..."
"Yes, Syaoran...?"
"I was wondering, if it would be all right if I asked you out on a date...." Syaoran said, looking away embarrassed. Sakura stared at Syaoran stunned, no one had ever asked her out. Slowly, Sakura's mouth spread into a grin, "Sure Syaoran, I would love that." "Really?" Syaoran grinned as she nodded surely. "Cool, I'll walk you home," Together they walked out of the park and toward home.
They reached Sakura's house, when Sakura suddenly bought up something. "Uh...Syaoran...I just realised...I have no idea how to assemble them, only to work them." Syaoran laughed quietly. "Oh, right...um, well how about you go inside, carefully, and see if Robert's home or not, and if he's not then I'll come in and put them up." "Okay."
10 minutes had past since Sakura had gone inside, and Syaoran had begun to worry. But there at the front door, was Sakura, waving him in. Syaoran quietly ran towards her. "He's asleep, down like a rock." she whispered. "I was just looking for the places to put them." Syaoran followed Sakura, silently, until they reached the lounge, Sakura point to a spot in the bookself. "He never uses books, and it's a great place to see the whole lounge." Syaoran agreed and quickly went over and assembled it.
Next, they went to Sakura's room. Beside the door, was a self, that was covered in old toys, and had a good view of the room, immediately, Syaoran went over and put it up. Once they were done, Syaoran handed Sakura, the dictophone (notetaker) and she put it in her bedside table drawer. They walked carefully, and quietly to the front door, and Syaoran said good night to Sakura, and gave Sakura a quick kiss on the lips, left the house, telling her to be careful.
