CHAPTER 6
Madison sat in the lunchroom picking at her food. It's been about 4 weeks sincethe little "incident" between herself and Li. Since then Madison hasn't really been hungry. Food just didn't seem to pleasing to her. Li sat next to her chopping down on a bologna sandwich.
"Everything ok Maddie?" Madison's friend Megan asked. Madison smiled and nodded her head.
"Yep, everything's fine. Just haven't been to hungry lately." Madison said finally pushing her tray away. Li looked at her worriedly. Madison just smiled and started a conversation with the people at the table. Li knew something was up, but he would just ask her later.
When school was finally over, Madison and Li started walking to a little café that was a few blocks away. Li gently held Madison's hand as they walked in silence.
"So what's really up Madison?" Li asked finally. Madison stopped and looked at him. There was fear in her eyes. Something was either scaring Madison or she was really worried about something.
"Well, you remember the night that we got back together right?" Madison said choosing her words wisely. Li looked at her bewildered.
"Yeah I remember it. Why are you asking?" He watched as Madison took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Did we use…you know…protection?" Madison finally asked. Li looked puzzled. "Did we use protection? I was so trashed I can't even remember." Li thought to himself.
"I can't remember Maddie. Did we?" Madison then smiled shyly. She then started shacking her slowly indicating that there was no protection used.
"We…we didn't use…protection?" Li asked shocked. Madison looked at her feet a little ashamed.
"We really didn't expect to go that far Li. But yes…we didn't use protection and there might be a chance that I could be…" Madison stopped mid sentence. She couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Pregnant." Li finished for her. Madison nodded her head and looked into Li's eyes to see any sign of what he was feeling.
"You might be carrying my child." Li said still amazed. Madison once again nodded. Li lifted his hand and placed it on Madison's stomach.
"I think we should go find out don't you?" Li said lightly. Madison put her hands over Li's and smiled.
"Yes, I think we should." So the two walked together to a store and bought a pregnancy test. They then walked to Madison's house where they prepared themselves. Madison went into the bathroom and a few seconds later came back out.
"It said we have to wait 3 minutes." Li nodded and started to pace around the room. He then looked at the clock, only a few seconds went by. "My god can time go any slower." Li said to himself as he started pacing again. Madison then looked at the clock.
"2 minutes left." Madison said trying to suppress a nervous but yet excited smile. Li went up to Madison and hugged her tightly. They both looked at the test that lay in plan sight waiting for the timer to go off. Li then embraced Madison again. He was about to kiss her when he heard the front door open. Li turned to see a pair of shinning emerald eyes.
"Sakura…" Li said still holding Madison. Sakura's eyes flashed over to the pregnancy test and then back to Li's. Sadness now filled the once beautiful eyes.
Sakura escaped her mothers "prison" with Eli's help. Eli brought a cart the normally would carry big boxes or other large objects. Eli brought an empty box that he told the guards held clothes. He went into Sakura's room, told Sakura to climb in the box and be as silent as humanly possible. Eli then went back through the guards and outside to a car waiting. From there, Eli took Sakura to a private jet that the CIA had waiting for them. It took them a few hours but they finally landed in New York. Sakura thanked her cousin and told him to keep in touch.
"I will cousin, no worries. I'll be with you even if you can't see me. That's my job. Here, take this cell phone. If your ever in a jam and can't seem to use your "abilities" call me. Now go see Li. I'm sure he's been worried about you." Eli said with a grin. Sakura blushed but still hugged Eli. She thanked him once more and then started towards the park. She pulled her new cell phone out of her pocket and called Li's house.
"Hello?" Someone said on the other end. It was Meilien. Sakura didn't realize how much she missed her friends. Just hearing Meilien's voice reminded her how much she has grown attached to Meilien and Madison.
"Meilien its Sakura. Is Li there?" Sakura asked with a little bounce in her voice. She then heard a yell come from the other end. It was a yell of excitement.
"Oh my god Sakura your back! Thank god. We have been worried sick about you. Your ok right?" Meilien chattered on. Sakura smiled to herself. It was good being home.
"I'm fine Meilien. Do you know where Li is? I really want to see him." Sakura asked stopping by the fountain in the park and awaiting Meilien's reply.
"He's over at Madison's I think." Meilien said. Sakura thanked Meilien and told her that she would call back later. They then hung up and Sakura started walking towards Madison's. It wasn't far away only a few blocks. Once Sakura was a block away, she started jogging to Madison's house that was now in view. She walked up to the door and heard someone talking on the other side so Sakura just opened the door. On the other side she was Li holding Madison in a close embrace. Their faces only inches apart. A pair of amber eyes stared at Sakura in shock.
"Sakura…" Li said surprisingly. Sakura looked at the pregnancy test and then back at Li.
"You got you knocked up Madison cause I swear to God I'll kick the bastards ass." Sakura said walking over to Madison and looking at her intently. Li dropped his head. "She doesn't think it's me." Li said to himself as Madison slowly pulled away from Li. Madison didn't say a word all she did was look at Li with a worried look. Sakura looked from Madison to Li and then back again. That's when it hit her; Li was the bastard that got her knocked up.
"What…why…?" Sakura said unable to say anything else. Li knew that Sakura understood now. That Madison might be carrying his child.
"Sakura I can explain." Li tried when he noticed that Sakura was slowly walking back words towards the door.
"Explain what Li? I think the pregnancy test is a little self explanatory don't you think?" Sakura said with a tear running down her cheek. Li placed his hands on Sakura's shoulders only to have them shoved off.
"You were gone for over 4 months Sakura, I missed you so much and it just kind of happened. I was trashed and…" Li started. Sakura shacked her head refusing to believe any of it.
"That makes everything better don't it. Being trashed is the perfect excuses huh?" Sakura hung her head crying harder. Li once again placed his hands on Sakura's shoulders. This time instead of being shrugged off, Li felt Sakura's body tense. Sakura looked up at Li, her bangs hanging over her eyes. Li felt a huge pang of guilt as he saw the pain and hurt in her eyes. But what scared Li the most was the look that Sakura had when she was becoming pissed off. Right now, Sakura wore it.
"Don't, touch me. I'm done, through. I hope your kid isn't like you guys, a bunch of back stabbing deficient assholes that only care about themselves." With that Sakura turned and ran out the door, tears streaking her face. Li went to follow but Madison touched his arm.
"Let her go. It'll only make matter's worse if you follow her. Give it time." Li looked at Madison with sadness in his voice.
"How can matters get any worse?" Li said. Just then the timer went off, the pregnancy test was finished.
