A Broken Promise

Chapter 3: Sakura's New Home

Morning came and the sun shone on Meilin's sleeping body. She woke to the sunshine. Where is Sakura? She went to the kitchen and saw her, sleeping on the chair, head resting against the back of the chair.

Meilin prepared breakfast and woke Sakura up.

"Sakura. Wake up." She said as she shook Sakura a bit.

"Huh?" Sakura blinked. "Where am I?" She looked around and realized she was at Meilin's house. "Oh! Good morning Meilin."

"Good morning Sakura. I made breakfast." Meilin said and set down two plates of food. Meilin sat down at the table and ate hers. Sakura went to brush her teeth and changed, then came out and nibbled on some of it.

"Sakura? What's wrong? You should eat something." Meilin said when she finished her food.

"I'm ok. I don't feel like eating. Sorry Meilin."

"It's alright. I understand." Meilin said as she collected Sakura's barely touched plate of food.

Meilin drove Sakura to the hostpital and they sat by Syaoran's bed.

Syaoran. Wake up. Sakura really wants to see you. Meilin thought to herself. She watched Syaoran, missing him. She knew Syaoran didn't love her. She didn't mind. I couldn't do what Sakura can do for Syaoran anyway.

Sakura sat quietly by Syaoran, holding his hand. "I'm staying."

"Huh?" Meilin was confused. Staying where? For what?

"I'm staying in Hong Kong until Syaoran wakes up."

"Oh.....ok...."

"I'm going to rent a place to live and find a job. It shouldn't be too hard!" Sakura said with lots of confidence.

"You can come live with me, if you want. We can split the rent." Meilin offered.

"Thanks, Meilin." Sakura said and hugged Meilin.

Ever since that day, Sakura stayed in Hong Kong, living with Meilin. Meilin had found a job for Sakura. Acting. She was pretty good at that. Meilin worked part time at a coffee shop, because she was in school, studying to be a lawyer.

Everyday, Sakura went to work. Every night, she went to visit Syaoran. She soon became famous in the acting carrer in Hong Kong. A lot of famous guys from Hong Kong wanted to date her, but she always turn them down. She stayed loyal to Syaoran.

She lived in Hong Kong for almost a year now. Today was the 364th day. Tomorrow would be the exact day Syaoran was supposed to meet her at the airport. She crossed out another day on her calender. She had grown to keep that a habit. Syaoran still hasn't awaken. He was getting better, according to the doctors, but he still wasn't waking up.

His will wasn't strong enough, they said. Sakura didn't lose faith. She still visited him every night after work. Talking to him.

Today is the 365th day. A whole year has passed since Syaoran's coma. They were now 19. Meilin decided to go to England to continue her studies. Sakura would have to live alone in Hong Kong.

"I'm sorry Sakura. But I need to continue my studies." Meilin said as she hugged Sakura at the airport.

"It's....alright." Sakura said, tears coming to her eyes. Not only because Meilin was leaving. Also because it ws this very airport that had determined Syaoran's fate.

"Call me if Syaoran wakes up, ok?" Tears were coming to Meilin's eyes as well. She didn't want to leave. But she still has a whole life ahead of her.

"Good bye, Meilin. Thank you for everything."

"Good bye, Sakura." They hugged each other one last time and Meilin disappeared in the distance. Into the departure gate.

A week later, Sakura was fired.

"Fired? Why?" Sakura asked her boss. He gave no reason. That meant Sakura had to find another job.

She couldn't find one for a whole week. But finally, she found one. Fashion designing. That should be okay for me! She called the number and told them she was interested. They called her to go for an interview.

She arrived at the huge company. She walked inside and the receptionist told her which room to go to.

"Sakura Kinomoto. Come in." A female voice told her. Sakura went into her room and her eyes grew wide with surprise.

"Tomoyo! It's you!" Sakura exclaimed, forgetting they were having a job interview.

"Sakura! I knew it was you!" A girl with dark violet hair and amethyst eyes said with a smile.

Sakura calmed down and they had a proper interview. The job was for modelling clothes. The company name was T. Daidouji Fashions. Sakura should have known. Three days later, Sakura received a call that told her she could come to work the next day.

Everything was going alright. Sakura was a model for Tomoyo's clothes. She's been doing that ever since she started to capture the clow cards anyway. But now, she's had no time to visit Syaoran every night. She could only visit him once a week. That soon changed to once every two weeks. But work piled up and that changed to every month. Syaoran grew worse and Sakura got worried.

Syaoran. I'm sorry. Sakura thought as she walked down the catwalk when she should have been at the hostpital, visiting Syaoran.

Today was the second year since Syaoran's accident. Another year has gone past. Today was again the day Syaoran was supposed to meet Sakura at the airport. Meilin was coming home. Tomoyo gave Sakura a month break. Now Sakura could visit Syaoran everyday.

But first, she went to pick up Meilin.
