If You're Not The One
Chapter 14
Graduation
*Northwest High School*
"Syaoron!" Sakura ran toward him in her gown and hat. She grabbed Syaoron's hands and grinned. "I never thought this day would come! We're finally graduating!"
Syaoron bent down and kissed her. "I know." Sakura saw Tomoyo from across the room alone, looking outside the window. "Hey, Syaoron, I'll be right back!" Sakura made her way to Tomoyo. "Can you believe we're graduating in less than ten minutes?"
Tomoyo turned to face Sakura. "I'm fine, Sakura, really." Sakura sweatdropped. "Um, should I leave you alone?" Tomoyo didn't answer, but Sakura knew she was interrupting something. Sakura decided to go back to Syaoron. Tomoyo watched her best friend walk away. 'I can't believe it,' she thought. 'It's been exactly two weeks since Eriol's been in the hospital. He should be here. Not lying in a hospital bed!'
"Students," Terada entered the room. "Get in your places. They're awaiting your arrival out on the football field."
*Football Field*
The students took their places on the stage. Sakura saw in the crowd her father, Sonomi Daidouji (whom was constantly making faces at Fujitaka), Touya with a video camera, and Yuki munching on rice cakes. Sakura looked at Syaoron, who was looking at her, and smiled.
Touya focused on Sakura, then focused on Syaoron, then continued switching back and forth from Sakura to Syaoron, noticing their eye contact with each other. He whispered loudly to Yuki, "What's HE doing here??" Yuki laughed. "I dunno, Touya. Maybe he's graduating?" Touya eyed Yuki. "You know what I mean! I thought he left for Hong Kong." Yuki laughed. "Lighten up! Rice cake?"
"Nadeshiko would be here for her little girl's graduation if it weren't for YOU!" Sonomi hissed at Fujitaka. Fujitaka smiled. "But if it weren't for me, Nadeshiko wouldn't have had a little girl, would she?" Sonomi was about to protest until the ceremony began. Sonomi pouted and whispered, "I still hate you!!"
Sakura continued to look around the crowd until one person caught her eye; a girl with ruby-red eyes and raven black hair. 'N-No! It can't be!'
"Meilin?" Sakura whispered.
Syaoron, who was sitting next to her, looked at her and whispered. "Did you say something?"
Sakura, who was still looking at the girl, shook her head and whispered back. "Nothing."
*Later*
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the class of two thousand three, two thousand four!"
The seniors threw their hats in the air and cheered, all except one; Sakura quickly made her way threw the crowd and caught up with Meilin. Sakura pulled her arm and turned her around. Meilin smiled. "Sakura? Hey! Have you seen Syaoron?"
"No, and even if I had, I wouldn't tell YOU where he is." Sakura crossed her arms.
Meilin's smile faded. "It's important. I HAVE to speak with him!"
"You? Speak with Syaoron??" Sakura mocked. "I don't even want you living in the same country as him, and you think I'm gonna let you speak with him??"
"You know, I knew this was a mistake, asking for your help." Meilin folded her arms.
"You're damn right it was. It was a big mistake, too." Sakura growled.
"Fine, Sakura." Meilin sighed. "If you're not gonna help, I'm gonna find someone else who will." And Meilin went around Sakura and entered the flock of seniors. Sakura looked back and shook her head.
Sakura entered the school building and walked through the halls. 'This is it,' She thought. 'After today, four years attending this high school is just a memory. The years went by too fast!' She opened the door to the girl's bathroom and went inside. Sakura was about to take off her cap and gown when she heard sniffling coming from inside one of the stalls. She bent down and looked underneath the stalls to see a pair of designer shoes in the fourth stall. Sakura walked towards the stall and opened it to reveal a weeping Tomoyo. Sakura was speechless. Tomoyo dried her eyes and tried to smile. "I really wish he could've been here, today." Tomoyo broke out into sobs and Sakura held her in her arms, trying to calm her down. "Hey, Tomoyo, it's gonna be fine! I promise!" Sakura said, crying for her best friend. Sakura broke away from the hug. "Now look what you did! You made my mascara run!" The girls broke into giggles. "Tomoyo, there's a party at Takashi's tonight. Are you gonna be there?" Tomoyo shook her head. "N-No. The hospital. Eriol. I can't l-leave him."
Sakura nodded. "Okay. Well help me undo the zipper in the back! I think it's stuck!" Tomoyo got behind Sakura and tried to pull down the zipper, but all attempts failed.
"Hey! I'll pull it above your head, okay?" Tomoyo pulled the gown over her head and finally took it off (A/N: Their school uniforms are on underneath). Sakura's shirt went up slightly, but enough to reveal her stomach. There on the side of her stomach was a patch. Sakura pulled down her shirt quickly, but quick enough. Tomoyo saw the patch and question her friend. "Um, Sakura. What was that?"
"What was what?"
"THAT!"
"WHAT?"
Tomoyo pulled up Sakura shirt to reveal the patch again. Sakura pulled her shirt down. "That! What is that??" Tomoyo paused and put her hand to her mouth.
"N-Now, now! I-I-It's not what you think!"
Tomoyo gasped. "I've seen those on commercials all the time! Those are birth control patches!!"
*Syaoron*
Syaoron took off his robe, revealing his school uniform underneath. He exited from the men's facilities (A/N: Restrooms!) and began walking down the hallways of his school, looking for Sakura. He turned the corner and collided into an unknown person. Syaoron pulled them up before they fell. It was Meilin.
"Syaoron!"
"M-M-Meilin?? What are you doing here?"
"I just came to see your graduation." Meilin nodded and smiled. Syaoron crossed his arms, unconvinced. "Why are you really here? Did mother send you to come and get me?"
Meilin shook her head. "Syaoron-"
"If she did, you can just forget it and go back home!"
"Syaoron! Your mother's ill."
Syaoron's eyes went wide. "W-What?"
"Syaoron..." Meilin said softly. "Yelan's dying."
*Sakura and Tomoyo*
"I-I can't believe it! You and Syaoron...?"
"Y-Yea." Sakura leaned against the wall of the bathroom.
Tomoyo eyed Sakura. "If you're using BCP's (birth control patches)... does that mean he didn't use protection?"
Sakura rolled her eyes and laughed. "Get real, Tomoyo! Of course he used protection. I just wanna be sure nothing happens!"
Tomoyo raised an eyebrow. "And how did you manage to buy BCP's without your father knowing?"
"I went to the drugstore with Syaoron a week or two ago."
"Oh." Tomoyo paused. "Does Syaoron know you bought them?"
"No."
"Oh."
*Kinomoto Residence*
After the graduation, Sakura got a ride from Tomoyo. Sakura skipped inside her house, grinning. When she saw her dad paying bills in the dining room, Sakura asked, "Can I go to a party tonight? It's at Takashi Yamazaki's."
"Sure sweetie," Fujitaka said subconsciously.
"Great!" Sakura dashed up the stairs. "Oh, Sakura!" Fujitaka called her back downstairs. Sakura turned around and hopped downstairs. "Yea, dad?" She asked. Fujitaka looked up from his paper work as he said, "I went inside your room to give you your mail and I noticed these in on your bed." Fujitaka held up the box contained birth control patches. Sakura's face went white. "Alright, Sakura," Fujitaka said sternly as he slammed his pencil to his desk. "Explain yourself!"
*Hospital*
"You may see Hiiragizawa now," A nurse told Tomoyo. Tomoyo got up from her seat and exited the waiting room. Tomoyo passed three doors and opened the fourth door on the left. Her eyes went wide when she saw he was not lying in bed.
"E-Eriol?" Tomoyo said to herself. "Nurse? Where is he?" Someone held her shoulder and she turned to see whose hand it was. Deep azure eyes gazed into her amethyst eyes.
"Eriol!" Tomoyo whispered.
