"PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!" says the author as she gets on her knees and begs.

I know some of you may want to kill me after reading this chapter so let me just remind you that this IS an SS story! I just want to add in a little conflict to make the story interesting. I promise not to disappoint you!

"... Break off the engagement now so you don't have to hurt her later."

Before Syaoran could argue Sakura came running out the door and interrupted, "Touya! How could you even suggest something like that? I love him!" Syaoran looked at Sakura and then at Touya. Eriol, Tomoyo, and Fujitaka had come by the door and were waiting to see the outcome of it all along with all the neighbors who were hanging on every word. There was utter silence all around.

Sakura walked up to Syaoran and put her hand on his shoulders and made him look her in the eye. "You said you loved me. You proposed to me. I said I'd wait for you. It's as simple as that! Don't let him make you think otherwise!"

Syaoran grabbed both of Sakura's hands in his. "Sakura you know I love you! There's no one else that I could possibly spend the rest of my life with! But..."

Sakura immediately withdrew her hands and backed away while tears began to fall down her face. "No! No 'Buts'!"

He walked up to her and hugged her against her will as she sobbed on his shoulder. "But... your brother has a point. We wouldn't be able to see each other for 3 years. Would we feel the same way about each other after that long?"

She looked up at him with an angered face, "Are you saying you won't love me anymore if you go through 3 years without seeing me?!"

"What?! No! I will never stop loving you!"

"And neither will I! So what's the problem?"

Syaoran looked at her glistening green eyes and couldn't think of anything to say. Just seeing her sad was killing him so tears began forming in his eyes.

Seeing the silence and knowing that if he didn't interfere soon things could get worse, Touya said, "You're too young."

Sakura and Syaoran both looked at him and Sakura's knees gave away as she broke down and started crying on the ground. Tomoyo ran to her side and comforted her. Fujitaka and Eriol looked at Syaoran and saw the troubled face he had on and knew that right then Syaoran's heart was breaking. Then they looked over Sakura's trembling body and their heart ached for the two. Seeing all the pain those two felt just because they loved each other and wanted to be together was impossible to understand.

Fujitaka put a hand on Eriol's shoulder and he looked back at the old man. "I think there's been too much excitement for one day." Eriol understood and nodded. He walked up to Syaoran and grabbed his arm and slowly pulled him towards the car.

He looked over at Tomoyo. "You guys go ahead," she whispered to them. Eriol nodded and got in the drivers side of the car after. With one last glance at Sakura, Syaoran got in the passenger's side.

Fujitaka walked up to his son and put a hand on his shoulder, "If she ends up miserable forever... I'm going to consider it your fault."

Touya let out a big sigh and thought to himself, 'I hope I did the right thing.'

.... In Front of Syaoran's Apartment

Eriol parked the car and looked at Syaoran who had an expressionless face. "It's going to be all right you know."

"No it won't."

"Well aren't we Mr. Negative? Look here, Sakura loves you and I know you love her. Everyone's always thought you two were going to end up together and you will! There's no doubt in my mind."

Syaoran just opened the door and got out. "Bye."

"Bye." Eriol watched as he made his way inside the apartment and closed the door. "Oh man. How can things get so complicated in one day?"

...... Inside Syaoran's apartment

He fell on his bed and buried his head in his pillow. He didn't know how he would be able to face Sakura ever again. "I shouldn't have left. Why?! Why did I leave?!" he said to himself. "I really messed things up. I don't know what to do now."

..... Next Morning

Eriol pulled the car up to Syaoran's address to pick him up so they could go talk to Sakura. He honked but nobody came out of the house. He turned the car off and got out. He knocked but nobody answered. He tried the doorknob and was unlocked. "Syaoran?" He called as he went in. Nobody answered so he made his way to the bedroom only to find it empty. He found a white envelope on the bed and he went to pick it up. On it he found Syaoran's handwriting: To Sakura.

He ran back to the car and rushed towards Sakura's house.

..... Sakura's House

Sakura and Tomoyo, who had stayed over the night, were sitting on the couch when the front door flew open and Eriol rushed in. "Sakura!" he yelled. "I found this at Syaoran's place. He wasn't there."

"What?" she exclaimed as she rushed and took the envelope from him. She ripped it open and walked to the window and as she opened the letter and started to read it. Soon her hands started to shake as she fell to the floor and buried her hands in her hands. Tomoyo rushed to hug her but she just pushed her away. Eriol bent down to pick up the letter and began to read it with Tomoyo looking over his shoulder.

Dearest Sakura,

Let me begin by saying this is a choice that I'll regret for the rest of my life. I love you more than life but for me to ask you to wait three years is selfish. My heart is breaking with every word I am writing but I'm sure it's for the best. I wish I had thought it all through before confessing my love for you. I should've realized it was a bad idea since I only had a week left here. I never thought of what would happen when we had to say goodbye. So this is why I thought it would be better if I left without saying goodbye personally. Please forgive me for doing this. I don't ever want you to experience heartbreak but I know that is exactly what I am causing you right now. I wish I could take away all your pain. I'm sorry. I don't know what will happen after this but I want you to be happy. So please do whatever makes you happy.

Love always,

Syaoran Li.
