Chapter 8
"Sorry guys, the line was longer then what I was hopping it would be." Sakura said coming up to the table. She looked up to see Madison and Eli not looking at her. They were looking at their laps.
"Sakura?" A familiar voice from her past said. Sakura slowly looked to her left to see a very tall Li. Sakura unconsciously took a few steps back. "You have to be kidding me." Sakura thought trying everything she had inside her to be strong and not cry.
Li stood there and stared at the girl he loved only a few months ago. Her short honey colored hair was now shoulder length. Her once sparkling emerald eyes seem to be faded now. Li saw her take a step back. He had to do something, he wasn't sure he could lose her again.
"Sakura, can we talk?" Sakura looked at Li and then at Madison. She felt like the room was spinning. Her heart ached. She then felt a sudden kick from inside. Without even thinking her hand went to her stomach and she looked down to where the unborn child kicked. Silent tears stained her cheeks as she continued to feel her baby kick. Li slowly walked up to her and stood in front of her. He wanted to comfort her but wasn't sure on how.
Madison watched as Sakura started to retreat when she saw Li. Then, as if kicked, Sakura's hand went to her stomach. That's when it finally dawned on Madison what Eli was talking about. Sakura was pregnant. Madison looked at Eli with a look of realization. Eli looked at her and nodded. He then looked back to where Sakura and Li stood. Eli could tell that Li just wanted to touch Sakura to see if she was truly there. But he held himself back.
"Sakura you probably should sit down since it looks like your about to faint." Eli said quickly when he saw her swaying back and forth. She silently sat down with Li next to her. She still looked dazed.
"Sakura, whose baby is that growing inside of you?" Li asked. He prayed to god that it was his. He didn't know how he would take it if it were someone else's. Sakura looked at him and that's when he knew her mood changed.
"Things never changes do they. Still think I'm a whore don't you. Believe what you want Li, because I was fine without you the past four months and I'm pretty damn sure that the next four will be a breeze. As for you Madison, don't you ever call me again. Once a backstabber always a backstabber." Sakura then got up to leave. At this point everyone in the restaurant was looking at them. Li quickly followed her outside. It started to pour outside. Sakura quickly raced for her car that was in the parking lot out in the back, fumbling with her keys the whole way. By the time she got half way there, her hair was dripping wet, her clothes soaked and her tears were mixed in with the rain that ran down her face. She started running faster when her car came into view. She almost got to her car when she tripped and fell hard onto her knees, her keys flying ahead of her a few yards. She sat down on the pavement, pulled her knees close to her chest and continued to cry. The blood from her scrapped knees slowly ran down her leg and dripped into the water puddle that surrounded her.
