Abused - Chapter 5

AN: I am sooooo sorry! I've been kind of slacking off and gotten writters block, but I have it planned out. I've kind of been having a troublesome life lately, so, sorry.

Chapter 5 - The hardest thing

~*Eriol's P.O.V*~

I had lost all of my nerve by the time I had gotten down stairs, and I was able to say, more like yell, was "I LOVE YOU!!!" I guess it wasn't the best thing, but it was some form of confessing, and I had to get it out, I couldn't make her think I kissed her for no apparent reason. She looked at me in confusion and walked towards me. "What?" I inhaled a breath and said calmly "I'm in love with you. I love you. I love you so much it hurts." I walked up to her and put my arms around her. "Please say you feel the same." I saw tears begining to well up in her eyes, and she began to shake. I could hear her breathing began to quicken and tremble. "I... I... I Can't love you!" She pulled out of my grasp and ran upstairs. A few seconds later I heard her door slam and I flinched. I stood there looking down. She didn't love me back.

~*Tomoyo's P.O.V*~

I'm laying here, in my bed, balling my eyes out, no one is here to console me. No, I don't need consolment. I don't deserve it. I hurt the one person I love the most in the world. I should be crusified. I should be punished, locked away. Why did I have to date James? Why did this mess have to happen? All I know now is that Eriol loves me (that's the positive part.) but I can't be with him. Why does life have to be cruel? I cause too much trouble and mishap for everyone. I put Sakura in risk, causing Syaoran to be in risk because he'd die for her or die if she even dies, especially if he could prevent it. I've put Eriol at risk and have broken his heart in the process; And not to mention mom. I've put even more stress on her because of James and this mess. I put everyone's life at risk. It's all my fault. I stand up from my bed, hiccups escaping my lips, as I go into my bathroom across the hall. Maybe a bath can clear my mind on what to do. It's not possible, but it'll make me at least relax a little.

~*Eriol's P.O.V*~

I just lay here, on the bed in one of the many guest bedrooms. The one that Tomoyo had assigned me. The one where everything had happened here. Where did everything go wrong? A month ago Sakura accidentally blurted out that Tomoyo was in love with me, and although I was overjoyed, I knew I couldn't tell her until she wasn't with James. I didn't want to hurt him. Instead he hurt me for hurting the girl I love. And now I'm protecting her, and have made the situation awkward for us. Great. I'm an idiot. I caused the whole awkwardness by not thinking things over. Maybe I should move into a separate guest bedroom? Maybe that will help the awkwardness? No, that wouldn't work. What if James broke into the house and attacked Tomoyo and I was in the opposite wing? No, that won't work. Maybe a shower will help? Isn't there a bathroom across the hall? I smile as I go to the hall closet and get out a towel and then enter the bathroom, but when I entered I found that someone had already occupied the bathroom. She screamed and ducked under the water, below the bubbles and I slipped on the rug while trying to run out. I fell to the ground, then, while trying to catch my breath, got up and ran as fast as I could out of the bathroom into a separate one, slamming the door behind me.

~*Tomoyo's P.O.V*~

Once I heard the door slam sound echo through the water, I peaked my head out to find Eriol gone. I sigh and rest against my bath-pillow. Did he see me...? Or did the bubbles thankfully cover anything inappropriate? (AN: Why am I writing so many questions?) How much more awkward is anything going to get? So much for relaxing...

~*Eriol's P.O.V.*~

Nice, cold water. Cold water is my friend. (AN: ^_~) She's going to hate me now... Why didn't I knock first? Well, of course, how was I suppose to know anyone was in there? I hope she doesn't ask if I saw anything... In all in all truth, I saw EVERYTHING. There's no way into denying it now. Kami-sama, what a long day... First I have a nightmare, then I kiss her (And I could have sworn she kissed back...), and then I confess to er and she says she can't... She "Can't"? She "can't" love me? DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE?! What is that suppose to mean?! I got out of my shower and walked towards my bedroom. I'm going to have to ask her what that means. Before I was able to open the door, I heard another one open. I looked behind me to see Tomoyo with her towel wrapped around her and her raven hair sticking to her shoulders, dripping wet. "Get dressed. I want to talk to you." I didn't wait for Tomoyo to even nod, I turned and walked into my bedroom.

AN: I'll update next week! I promise!
