Ch. 7 – Unintended Surprises

The made there way to the kitchen and there was another knock on the door.

"Wait Tom, I'll get it" she said happily.

She opened the door and before her was Li Syaoran, the cause to her misery.

"You!, get out you stupid—"

"Syaoran" said Eriol

"Eriol" said Syaoran.

Tomoyo came in looking at the two men staring at each other.

"Uh, what's going on" she said.

"Um, Tom, this is Syaoran my good, no, best friend" he said shyly

"What?!?!, your friends with this evil human being who made my life a complete horrific disaster!?!" Sakura said angrily.

"Eriol, you knew about this jerk and you didn't even tell me, what's wrong with you" Tomoyo said angrily. "I-I, look, don't go, Tom, Sakura" Eriol said.

The two girls stomped out of the room and slammed the door behind them.

Eriol scratched his head looking at Syaoran with surprised eyes.

"So, how's life buddy" he said.

"Terrible, I caused a lot of trouble" he said.

"I heard, so you lived with her, Tom didn't tell me." He said smiling.

"Yeah well, she didn't say she knew you" he said

"I'm her fiancé Syaoran and that, Sakura, was her best friend" he said.

"Wow, I didn't know you lived here" he said.

"We don't, when Tomoyo heard the news about Sakura losing her job we rushed here as fast as we could." He said.

"Whoa, man, I never made a girl cry" he said.

"Yeah, you did about everything else" he said laughing.

"Come on man, this is serious, I mean we had our differences and we almost, literally, became friends, and when she found out, god, it was like freaky" he said

"Her trust is very valuable man, one wrong move and it's gone" he said.

"I can tell, look, it's not like I did it on purpose, I'm an honest kind of guy" he said.

"Then why'd you do it?" he asked.

"I don't know, and that's the truth, I mean, my life was so simple before she came and now it's all like messed up" he said.

"You know, I felt that way when Tomoyo came into my life, and the result, well it's not that bad" he said.

"What you mean, I-, don't tell me you think that, man I barely tolerate her" he said.

"Affection comes in different ways" he said smiling.

"I don't need this, look sorry I messed up stuff between you and your girl" he said grabbing his keys.

"No problem, she'll understand" he said.

"Hey can you do me a favor?" he asked before he left.

"Sure?"

"Tell her I didn't mean it" he said.

"You mean sorry" he said

"No, I'm not apologizing" he said

"But you did all this man, stop living a lie, you have to" he said.

"No, I don't do the apology thing, just say that I didn't mean it" he said

"Fine, but it won't work" he said

"Just do it" he said

He left knowing Eriol just could be right.

Girls:

"I can't believe him" Sakura said kicking her foot on the mattress, "who does he think he is, coming in like nothing happened." She said

"At least you don't know the guy that much, but Eriol, he is so dead!" she said

The two girls were angry that the problems these people caused. At least they had each other now.

"'Kura, my life is all messed." Tomoyo said crying now.

Sakura went to her friend and put an arm around her shoulder, patting it slightly to make her feel better.

She wasn't very good at this, usually it was Tomoyo patting the shoulder and saying reassuring words.

"What's wrong Tomoyo" she said

"I-It's Eriol, he is so distant, it's like we don't even live together anymore" she said crying.

"You never told me this Tomoyo, you should've called" Sakura said

"I-I thought since you were handling everything yourself, I could, no I should too" she said.

Sakura couldn't believe it, all this time her best friend's life was a mess and all she ever did was worry about someone that didn't even care.

"That's not all, my mum is really sick and she lives all the way in China and I couldn't go because of work and Eriol too" she said crying.

"You could have come over, why did you keep this from me I could have came" she said.

"Your work is more important Kura, I didn't want to interfere" she said.

"When did this all start" she said

"A little after you left, he doesn't talk much anymore and all we ever do is argue, we haven't even had one day to ourselves" she said.

"Maybe there's a logical explanation" she said.

"It seems as though he's taking this whole relationship as a joke" she said.

"He's not like that, but I know who is, anyway just talk with him" she said.

"Don't you think I've tried, it's like he has some type of barrier around him" she said.

"Come on, Tom, let's talk with him, ask him why" she said

"This whole engagement is just a complete joke, I took it seriously, I am committed, he's not, I don't want to force him into something he doesn't want to do" she said.

Sakura stood there trying something beyond her control. Tomoyo and Eriol's relationship was different, they argued but apologized, screamed then cried, but this was serious, it was not like the other fights.

"I'm sorry for putting this misery on you, I'm such a lousy friend" she said.

"You're the best friend in the world, and this will just blow off, I promise." She said

"Thanks Sakura, I' so glad I'm here, I needed to talk to someone" she said.

"I'm glad you're here too" she said.

The two girls embraced in an emotional hug and they continued to cry, out of happiness.
