Author's notes: Wow! Thank you all sooo much for your reviews! I did get one review though about the clothes, and I figured maybe I didn't describe good enough, but also that I describe too much, but I will continue to describe what the characters are wearing if I feel like it's necessary, and if you don't want to read my story because I describe the outfits for my readers, you don't HAVE to read it, okay? Anyways, thank you everyone else for your reviews, and don't worry! It will be an SS!!!
Chapter 9 – Day Six
I woke up to the sun shining brightly into my eyes. I smiled as I looked down at the sleeping, hung over girl in my arms. But my smile soon turned into a frown as I remembered the night before. I heard her moan and shuffle in my arms, then open her eyes and look at me.
"Good morning…" I whispered. She smiled, then her eyes got wide, and she began to scream.
"What are you doing in here?! Get out!" She screamed, not noticing she wasn't wearing a top, and her bra was flipped down… Wait, now she does. She quickly flipped her strapless bra back up to cover herself and glared at me. "What did you do to me?! What? Since Aya's not around you're going to use me? Well, don't think that's going to happen mister!"
"No… Sakura… You threw your shirt off and asked me to stay in here! Don't you remember?"
She blinked at me as if in thought, I guess not. "All I remember is you getting together with Aya and taking your beer! That's all I remember!"
"Sakura, you got drunk and really emotional and you threw your shirt off!"
A knock came from the door. "Sakura? Syaoran?"
"Eep!" Sakura exclaimed as she found her shirt and pulled it on. "Yeah mom?"
"Are you two okay? You're fighting like cats and dogs…"
"We're fine," I answered. "Sakura's just mad because I let her sleep in the party clothes Tomoyo made."
"Oh, that's right, you two went to that party! How was it?" Nadeshiko asked.
"Fine!" We both replied and looked at each other.
"Oh, well that's great." She smiled before exiting. "Oh, by the way…" She held out her hand, which held two cases. "Someone left these at the front door, I found it on my way back up from my run."
I took them from her hands. "Thanks…"
Nadeshiko nodded. "Don't be so loud you two, it's nine in the morning. I'm leaving to go work on some things I need to finish up on, I'll be home at seven at the latest."
"Okay, bye mom." Nadeshiko smiled and walked out, closing the door. Sakura turned and looked at me angrily. "Get out."
"What? Why?"
"I just… I don't want to see you right now."
I walked up to her and grabbed her by the elbow area on her arms and pulled her close to me. "You told me last night that you loved me, is that true or was your drunken state just a little too friendly?"
She stared angrily at me for the longest time, but the angry look turned into a sad and vulnerable one. "Yes! I love you! I've loved you for so long it seems like it's been forever! And it hurts me to know that you chose Aya over me when I know damned right that you know Aya's not right for you, or even the one!" While she said this she tried to get out of my hold, but I wouldn't let her go. Not after this.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why the hell should I have told you? I knew and know I have no chance! So let me go because I know you don't want me, so stop holding onto me like you do!"
"Sakura…"
"Let go!" She exclaimed as she slapped me. I released her and she ran out of her bedroom and out of the apartment. I touched my cheek, the one she had slapped. She had never slapped me before, but I guess I deserve it. I hurt her really bad. I led her on and then right when things began to get good and we could have had a chance, I screwed it up, it's my entire fault. I love her, and I know what I have to do. I sighed as I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the number Aya had given me before I went to get Sakura.
"Hello?" Aya answered.
"Hey Aya, it's Syaoran…"
"Hey Syao-baby! What's up?"
"Nothing, I wanted to know if you could meet me somewhere? I want to talk to you."
"Oh, okay, about what?"
"Oh, nothing really, just to talk." Okay, yeah, that was a total lie, but I figured that this would be the simplest way.
"Okay, how about I meet you at Suisse café in thirty minutes?"
"Sounds good, bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and I grabbed my coat from the floor, pulling it on. I put my cell inside one of the pockets, then looked at the item Nadeshiko had handed us. It was two CD cases, one with Sakura's name written on it, the other with my name on it. I grabbed the case and my Walkman, and headed out, walking out of the building, set on my goal. Break up with Aya Akechi, and win back Sakura Kinomoto.
Normal P.O.V:
Sakura cried her eyes out as she sat on the floor, against the wall outside of her apartment building. She hated this situation. She hadn't meant to slap him… She hadn't want to, but it had felt good. She rubbed her eyes and sniffled, but held back her noises when she heard and saw Syaoran running down the stairs and head the other way.
'Maybe he's looking for me? No, he's not looking for me; he's out to see Aya. He doesn't love he, he would have told me if he loved me…' Sakura sighed sadly and turned to go back into her building. Luckily she had grabbed her keys or else she would have been locked out. She rode up the elevator to her floor and entered her apartment, dragging her feet against the floor. She walked into her bedroom and sat on her bed, hearing a slight cracking sound beneath her. She looked down to see she was sitting on the edge of a CD case. She picked it up and examined it, and noticed it had her name on it. "Hm… Interesting… I wonder why I got this?"
…Meanwhile…
Syaoran placed his headphones on his head and pressed play on his player, hearing the music starting.
"Every time I think of you I get a shot right through with a bolt of blue…" It was the song he had heard on one of the mornings this week on VH1… He sighed as he skipped the song, causing too many memories to fill his mind…
The next song played.
"Cause it's all in my head, I think about it over and over again. And I can't keep picturing you with him, and it hurts so bad…" He groaned. If it continued this way, it was going to be a very long CD.
…Sakura…
She walked into the deserted living room and sighed sadly. Usually her and Syaoran would be sitting in there, laughing and playing or watching a movie, but that wouldn't happen anymore. She walked over to the stereo and popped in the CD with her name written all over it, literally. The first song came through the speakers and recognized it as being the one Syaoran had listened to a few days ago, and quickly changed the song.
"Something happens and I'm head over heels, I never find out till I'm head over heels. Something happens and I'm head over heels, oh, don't take my heart, don't break my heart, don't don't don't throw it away." Sakura smiled. She had known the handwriting looked familiar. Tomoyo did this, but why? Well, she understood why she possibly made the same one for Syaoran, but why did she give herself one?
…Syaoran…
"You make me wanna leave the one I'm with to start a new relationship with you, this is what you do. Think about a ring and all the things that come with, You make me…" Syaoran decided after the fourth song he skipped that he should just listen to the CD, seeming as it would same him time from pressing and end up damaging the skip button, and give him TORTUROUS entertainment. So far, the songs "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Over and Over Again", "Head Over Heels", "The Promise", and now "You Make me wanna" had played on the CD, and all of them reminded him, strangely, of Sakura. He only had a few blocks to go and he would be at his destination and his to do list would be half way done.
…Sakura…
"Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below, the street heats the urgency of sound. As you can see there's no one around." Sakura smiled sadly as the song ended. I guess you can say that was her and Syaoran's song. They had loved that song since it came out, and they would attempt to dance to it, and listen to it for hours and hours together. She looked down as the memories flew back into her head. It seemed like her whole life flashed through her eyes as she thought about everything that had happened from the time they were babies and first met to now, when everything went bad.
"When you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, You know in the end, I'll always be there. But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger, Take a look all around, and I'll be there. I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me, I promise you, I promise you I will."
She sighed. This was going to be a LONG CD…
…Syaoran…
Syaoran entered through the Suisse café and looked around, noticing Aya sitting at a table by the window. Syaoran walked up and smiled at her when she looked up and smiled at him.
"Hello Syaoran! I'm soooo glad you called, I've been thinking about you all morning." She remarked as she winked.
Syaoran shuddered, knowing what he was about to do would totally shock her, and it would change history forever for her. "Hey Aya…"
Pulling out her compact, she began to apply cover up. "How's Sakura?" She asked, her voice void of any emotion, like she didn't even care.
"She's fine, has a hangover, but she's fine." He replied. "Aya… Um…"
Aya looked at Syaoran, giving him her attention. "Yes…?"
"Aya, I-I think we should break up…"
"Wha-what?!" She exclaimed, her eyes wide. "But Syaoran… We… We didn't even start…"
Syaoran sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought. "I just… I think it's the best for us… Our relationship will end up bad… I don't think it's going to work out, so it's better to end it now…" He looked down, not wanting to see her. "Are you okay?"
Aya leaned over the table and slapped Syaoran across the face. "Do you know how much trouble I went through to get together with you? Minako was right, you're a waste of time, and you're too into that Kinomoto-bitch. And all I get out of it is a 'Sorry'? Pfft. You're pathetic."
Syaoran looked up angrily at Aya. "Did you just call Sakura a bitch?"
Aya nodded. "Yeah, what are you going to do about it?"
"Sakura was right, you are a spoiled, snobby bitch who only uses people to get things out of it. You don't deserve anything." Syaoran grabbed his jacket and exited angrily out of the café, leaving a stunned Aya sitting at a table.
…Later…Syaoran entered into the apartment, hearing Sakura turn off the stereo and run into her room, locking it. He sighed as he continued walking to her room and knocked lightly on the door. "Sakura… Please…" He sighed as he laid his head against the door. "I-I never meant for this to happen… If, if I had known how you felt… I wouldn't have…" He groaned and slid down to the ground. He couldn't tell her he loved her through the door, how would that help any better? What if she were to tell him 'Well, you're too late.' "Just… Just please… I'm so, so sorry… And, it's over between me and Aya…" Sakura lightly gasped from the other side of the door. Had he done that for her? "Just… Please, forgive me? Talk to me again? Be my best friend again? Maybe more…?" Syaoran sighed angrily again, this was harder than he thought. Suddenly, a piece of paper slid underneath the door from the other side. Written in Sakura's handwriting, on a piece of paper, said "I'll think about it…" Syaoran smiled and left the door to living room, where he was sure he'd have to sleep tonight. On the couch.
Author's notes: Okay, let me know if you all want a sequel, because I have one in mind if you all want it… By the way, the songs "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Over and Over Again", "Head Over Heels", "1979", "You make me wanna", and "The Promise" do not belong to me!
