Episode Thirteen: There Are No Coincidences

Sakura's thinking:

Wow, I've got alot to think about...

Dad feels so guilty about the accident and even though I tell him the words from my heart, telling him that he shouldn't blame himself, he is still deaf to my words. He only hears what he wants to hear and that is that everything is his fault.

I wish he could see that every time he passes by my room to tell me the news about Tori that I notice that he always gives a soft smile before he leaves. And although it may seem that the smile is suppose to be comforting I try and turn away because it shatters my heart to pieces everytime.

He doesn't know that I am smart enough to see that behind the smile is an apology, one I will never accept. Why? Because he did nothing wrong, so then why should I apolozige for nothing?

While I am thinking I know that HE is thinking about the accident. He probably has every night that we've been in the hospital. He's thinking of all the different things he could have done in the car to save us from injury. And he's wishing he could turn back time and save us.

Why can't he be grateful that we're alive? I am... but that appreciatation is at the back of his head. Must he be so negative?

I could get up and walk to his room and sit by his bedside. I could reassure him... again.... that it wasn't his fault. I could... but I won't.

Not to be mean or hurtful but I just won't because it would be such a waste of breath. He just won't listen because he is SO convinced it was all his fault. God how stubborn he is!

I know I could have done something that would have gotten us out of this mess. I could spoke louder to ask my father about the lights up ahead but maybe this was suppose to happen? Everything happens for a reason, there are no coincidences.

I remember! I remember Kero told me that was what Clow Reed used to say and that is what Ms. Mackenize said as well... the day of my final judgement.

They were right, things do happen for a reason and this must have been like a test for me. All I know was that hitting that truck was less likely an accident. Inside I have a strong feeling saying that it was planned. But why is someone or something trying to hurt me?

Li's thinking:

Sakura had asked to be alone and she's been alone for a while. Today wasn't a good day for her. She hasn't eaten or drank anything but assured me she wasn't hungry.

I have to say that I am doubful that she has no appetite but I must remind myself that she is not like the always hungry Keroberos.

I called Kero and I told him of the accident and of Sakura's stable condition. He demanded that I come over and take him to the hospital to see Sakura but I refused to leave Sakura's side.

Madison and I had stayed everyday and had not stepped outside except for a breath of fresh air. It is true that staying in a hospital can get you sick because the wicked smell of blood is everywhere.

Why only yesturday we saw an elderly man having the worst bleeding nose I had ever seen. They had a nurse who kept passing him tissues which he used in a second and then dropped on a big pan that was placed on his lap.

Yes, being in a hospital is a most unpleasent thing. But then entering Sakura's room and seeing her face light up is worth not being able to turn your head away from a horrible nose bleed.

Rita, Nikki, Chelsea and many other of Sakura's classmates were ordered by their parents to return home. Luckily Wei and Samantha (Madison's mother) were sensitive and let us stay until Sakura was released.

They've been doing alot of tests, mostly X-rays and they should be returned very soon. I am 100 percent sure that Sakura is healthy. No I am not a doctor but I have a lot of faith and I know that she will be alright...

Normal View:

"Li?" Sakura called from her room. Li rushed inside and spotted Sakura on her bed and she smiled at him when he sat down on her bed. He picked up her hand and held it tightly. It was ice cold and Li wondered why Sakura didn't tell him she was cold.

"Are you alright?" He asked, hoping she would say if something was bothering her. Sakura nodded.

"Yes, I'm okay. Did you know that you always ask me that?" Sakura asked gleefully. Li blushed and Sakura looked down and saw his two warm hands holding her cold ones.

"How did you know I was cold? Are you a mind reader?" Sakura asked, giggling. Li smiled back and let go out her hand.

"I'm sorry," he said sadly. Somehow he felt like Sakura didn't want him touching her. But then Sakura softly took his hands and looked down, trying to escape Li's glance.

"No, it's okay. I can't thank you enough for being with me all this time," Sakura explained. Now Li started to feel uncomfortable so he pointed out that Madison was here the whole time too.

"Yes, I know but she's my best friend and that's something I expected. But you... I wasn't sure if you would stay all this time. I-I never told you this but..." Sakura stopped speaking and blushed bright red. Li nudged her hand.

"Go on," he asked. Sakura sighed.

"You are really special to me and..." Sakura's lips quivered and she closed her eyes and saw all the moments Sakura and Li shared repeat in her head.

I can't tell him... I'm too scared. Sakura thought. Silence surrounded the room and Li could see Sakura wished she didn't say anything.

I don't know what she wants to tell me but I can't wait any longer. I have to tell her how I feel.

"Sakura, I need to tell you something important and it's something I've wanted to say for a long time but I always lost my chance," Li said. Sakura looked up at him and their eyes met.

Please tell me how you feel... Sakura hoped. Li started to express how he felt but he was abruptly stopped when a loud tapping came from the window next to Sakura's bed. They turned and looked at the window and saw the black sky and the hail that pounded against the glass.

Watching from the crystal ball, the master, Demius Clow was confused beyond his wildest dreams. In the ball he saw a horrible storm that was tearing the roofs off of houses and taking apart sidewalks.

"This is how you solve things?" Demius shouted and broke the silnet tension in the room. The council members looked down and dared not to see the angry expression written on their master's face. Only one member found the strength and courage to speak up.

"There's a very good reason sir," he said softly. Demius stood up from his chair and walked bristly towards the member that spoke out. The member felt a tear of sweat roll down his forehead as Demius towered above him.

"Oh really?" Demius said sarcasticly. As much as the member hated his sarcasm he stayed silnet as Demius continued his outroar on the council.

Sakura stood in front of the window in her hospital room. It looked like the same night of the accident. But it was worse... alot worse.

This time she wasn't watching the soft but large amount of rain pouring down her window. Or the moon and stars amerging from the dark sky.

She was watching a storm and she could hear the yells of terror behind her. She could hear Li telling her to back away from the window. The storm had caught Sakura's curiousity and kept her staring out the window in an unbreakable trance.

Take me away...
