Lately, I've been having some feelings that I think I shouldn't be feeling. I looked up and sighed. I started to walk towards the park. I needed some time to think. I remembered that this was the same park that I really had needed dependence from Syaoran. I had so many memories of him, but lately I can't think of him.

"Sakura? Are you alright?" asked Tomoyo. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, Tomoyo," I answered. How could I tell Tomoyo, and furthermore Li, that I did not love him anymore? It would hurt Syaoaran's feelings so much. How could I have done this? I sighed and took a deep breath and wiped the tears coming from my eyes.

"Sakura, please tell me what's wrong?" Tomoyo pleaded, smiling, "because I have something to tell you."

I don't know whether or not to tell her. I was feeling so confused. What AM I thinking? Tomoyo is my best friend. She'd always stick up for me. I looked up at her. Again, I faltered.

"What do you have to tell me?" I asked with such a false cheery smile.

"Wellllll, I talked to Syaoran two days ago-

"What? And…"

"I invited him to come over here with us. You know it has been quite long since you've last seen him. I figured that you'd miss him so I asked him to come over."

Tomoyo frowned and looked at me with concerned eyes.

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," I repeated.

"Then why are you crying?" Tomoyo said. She kneeled beside me and gave me a tissue.

I blew into it and I stared at her. How could I explain to her and to Syaoran? There was no way, I realized. I can't face Syaoran, but Tomoyo had invited him. I felt so unstable. The longer I stood there, the more my courage was drained. I can't tell her.

"It-it's nothing. I was just a little disappointed-

"Sakura, do you still love Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo with inquiring eyes.

Gasping I stared at her.

"Ho-How do you know?" I lowered my eyes to the ground, watching an ant crawl to its nest. I grabbed her hands. "Tomoyo, I don't know. I don't think I love him anymore. He doesn't give me the feelings that I had before."

"Sakura, are you sure you don't love him anymore? I mean, you're crying over him right now," noted Tomoyo.

"Yes, but I really don't. Trust me on this one. I feel like something's missing and it isn't him."

"Sakura!" Tomoyo exploded, how come you told me this now?" Her voice calmed down. "How are you going to tell him?"

"I'll tell him when he visits," I replied feeling so sick to my stomach. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Tomoyo.

"Don't worry Sakura," smiled Tomoyo, I'll be there for you."

I left for my house somewhat feeling no better than I did this morning. I calmed myself down. I smiled in my mirror. The smile looked so false and fake… I collapsed on my bed and started crying.

The morning that Syaoran would arrive, came quickly. I woke up and combed my auburn curly hair, got dressed, and ran down the stairs as fast as I could. Then I grabbed a piece of toast and left for the airport.

I stared around. Syaoran would be on Flight 815. I whirled around looking at all the signs. Which one was Flight 815?

"Where is it?" I grumbled. I tripped on someone's leg and fell over, onto a young man.

"Sakura, you're always tripping over things, you should be more careful," said the man.

I looked up at him, rubbing my knee which had made contact with the floor. It was Syaoran.

"Hello, Sakura, I was looking for you," smiled Syaoran, "you were lost right and you couldn't find the sign?"

I just gave him a dirty look and he started laughing.

"No, I was looking for…" I whispered. My body was shaking now. Already I was thinking about how I was going to tell him. How could I tell him? He was so nice and kind and he loves me.

'Sakura, are you okay?" asked Syaoran.

I blushed and looked down. I couldn't take it anymore.

"No, I'm not," I replied. I stared him. He smiled and kissed me on the top of my head.

"You can tell me when we get home," he said with a big grin. He started pulling me and we walked all the way home.

Both of us stayed silent, the whole time we walked home. I could tell Syaoran sensed that something was wrong with me. He kept looking at me. I felt so guilty and embarrassed. We finally reached my house.

"Syaoran?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I-I feel like I still need some fresh air. Can we go to the park?" I asked nervously.

"Sure, Sakura, are you sure you are okay?" He asked, trying to figure out what was wrong.

I didn't answer. When we got to the park, I motioned for him to sit down on one of the benches. I remained standing up. I could tell that by doing this, I was worrying him so much, but I had to tell him.

"Sakura, what's going on? Tell me!" he pleaded looking panicked.

"Syaoran, I have something to tell you," I said, "ever since we got together, it was great between us. I love how you love me and I cherish it, but I can't love you anymore."

I took a deep breath. If I knew Syaoran, he would either blow up or stay really calm. Unfortunately, it was worse than him blowing up.

"YOU WHAT? Why NOT?" yelled Syaoran, "this isn't because of a guy?

Tears started pouring out of my eyes. I started crying.

"It's not for any guy. I just don't feel it between us," I cried.

"Then why do we have to break up?" Syaoran practically shouted in my face.

I just stared at him, crying. He was swearing. I ran all the way back home.

"Sakura, wait! SAKURA, COME BACK! Syaoran shouted.

I was frightened. I was scared of him.
