Something Pink
Part 13: Against All Odds
Lyrics Censored
"Sakura, I can't come see Peony tonight."
"Why?"
"Because, I have a lot of work to do."
"That same excuse again." Sakura rolled her eyes at her ex. "Fine," Sakura mumbled, dejectedly, slamming the car door. Without even glancing through the window at him, she drove off.

Syaoran's head fell on his desk from exhaustion. It was only noon. Why was he so tired?
"You are the coldest man to ever live, Syaoran Li." Sakura stood over him as he sat at his desk.
"You're not exactly a radiator at the moment, either," Syaoran retorted.

Sakura laughed at him. "A radiator…"
Syaoran had to look up to realize that her laughter was there only to cover up the pain he caused her.
"Syaoran, I'm leaving soon. And I don't ever want to see you again." Tears were falling out of her eyes, carelessly.
She turned around fleetingly and disappeared from his office.
Syaoran woke with a start. A dream… It was now 3 PM.

Even dreams could feel so real.
Syaoran got up from his seat and left his office.
"Sir?" His secretary questioned. "Where are you going?"
"Out."
"But, Sir, you have a meeting with Mr. Reimer in fifteen minutes."
"Get someone to fill in the empty space for me, will you?"
"Sir!"
Syaoran left, releasing a heavy sigh as he shut the door behind him. He took the fire staircase up to the top of the roof.
Once he stepped outside, a gush of wind hit him with full force. Cold, he thought, just like me.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo shouted into the phone. "What happened? Why is he doing this!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Syaoran! He's standing on top of the roof on T.V. I think he's planning to jump!"
"What!"
Sakura slammed the breaks of her car. She threw her cell phone over her shoulder and spun her car around, heading to Li enterprise.

Sakura parked her car illegally on the sidewalk. Yes, on the sidewalk.
She broke through the caution tape and the police. "Syaoran!" She could see him looking down at her. She hoped with all her might the wind would carry her message to him.
"Please don't jump! Think about Peony! Think about me! You always took care of us! If you're gone, who's going to do that! Please, Syaoran."
He seemed deaf to her words. Sakura quickly sprinted into the building and took the elevator up. On the way up, she prayed for him, not to jump.

Syaoran saw Sakura leave and knew she was coming up to him.
"I cannot let her see me like this, standing on a thread of life."
"Sir, please come down from there! What ever problems there are we can all work to fix them."
"No," he murmured to himself, "It's too late."
Just as the fire doors of the roof flew open, Syaoran fell. Memories of his wife and child flashed before him as he fell. When he reached the bottom, he could remember no more.
"Syaoran!" Sakura's anguished cry echoed in the wind.
Lyrics Censored
Tomoyo helped Sakura home. What can a friend do, when all she could hear through the night behind the bedroom door of her best friend, an anguished heart mourning the lost of her beloved.
