Full Summary: Sakura was your average well-loved girl that was graduating from medical school that year, and was she happy about it. She only had a year more of the torture of exams and waking up early in the mornings until she would finally be able to do what she really wanted – practice as a psychologist. But now that the exams for her third year had finally finished, she expected nothing out of the ordinary to happen to her. Just having her best friend/cousin move out of the apartment the two shared and attending her and her other best friend's wedding. Oh! And sharing the apartment with a new roommate, one of her cousin's fiancée's friends. A man named Li Syaoran. But who would have known this single man would turn her world upside down… along with all the expectations everyone had for her. Including her own.

As the four friends piled into Eriol's silver car, Tomoyo climbed in the front, leaving Syaoran and Sakura to sit at the back.

"Tomoyo-chan let's play some slow songs," Sakura remarked with a light smile on her face, her head resting on Syaoran's shoulder who had his arm around her waist.

"Why would I? We're going to a club to dance Sakura-chan," asked the confused Tomoyo as she flipped through the wallets of CDs, trying to find their favourite CD.

"It's been such a long time since I've listened to any," Sakura replied with a sigh. Giggling, Tomoyo nodded and took out the CD she and Sakura made in their junior year of high school. As Eriol began to drive, the soft melody of 112's Cupid began to play.

"Awww! I haven't listened to this song since high school! Didn't you and Tai dance to it at prom?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura smiled at the memory. She liked Tai for such a long time and was ecstatic when he asked her to prom. Suddenly, she frowned and took up her head from Syaoran's shoulder and moved his hand from her waist. What the hell was she thinking?! She already had a boyfriend and here she was acting as if Syaoran was her boyfriend.

"Yeah… it's been ages. Tomoyo did you call Tai and invite him?" Sakura asked as her eyebrows knitted together, worried that Tai might feel neglected. She hadn't called him a week or so. From the rear view window, Eriol saw all that was happening and frowned. For a second, Eriol could have sworn he saw a flash of hurt and anger cross Syaoran's face before it was masked by a scowl. Eriol's eyes narrowed, knowing he now had to be on guard.

'God Syaoran, can't you keep to yourself for once? Don't go on off confusing the girl. I already warned you…' Eriol thought in his mind.

"No, but did you want me to call him and ask him now?" Tomoyo asked as she began to fish through her purse for her sleek silver cell phone.

"It's alright. I'll just call him later tonight," she responded while shaking her head accompanied by a smile.

"We're here!" Tomoyo squealed as she felt the car slow down. They stopped in front of a brightly lit place with music pumping from the core. Letting out a cry of joy, Tomoyo and Sakura both hopped out of the car while Syaoran and Eriol parked, excited about the way things were looking.

They shouldn't have been.

Syaoran's POV

I sat in the back seat in silence. Eriol was concentrated on finding a spot since the girls had already gotten out, hoping to find a place where we could sit and drink if we wanted. I sunk lower in my chair as my gaze shifted to the rear view mirror he was watching me from. His eyes were dark and angry, silently question while I gave no answers. How could I? I didn't have them myself.

"What's going on Xiao Lang?" He asked, his voice kept low.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I denied easily.

"What do you think you're doing with her?" He asked again, going through another lane of parking filled by other cars.

"I'm not doing anything with her," I sighed.

"Don't lie to me. I've known you since we were kids. I've known you since you and Tenshi were—," he began but I cut him off.

"Don't you dare speak that name around me," I growled as he finally pulled into a parking space. I got out of the car and slammed it shut and stalked over to the place the two girls had disappeared to.

"You need to move on Syaoran. She was a mistake, we all know that," Eriol whispered with remorse quietly, but loud enough for me to hear. It had been a while since he and I had the chance to talk about this… but it wasn't as if I ever really wanted to. But, before I could even stop myself, I felt myself stop and turn to face him.

"How can I? I can't forget her. She won't leave me. Whenever I closed my eyes I thought of her. Whenever I saw her face in old albums I wanted to teat them apart yet keep them together at the same time. But now, do you know who I see when I close my eyes? Now do you know who won't leave? Now do you know who I can't forget?" I asked my tone disgustingly desperate. But I couldn't stop the words from pouring from my mouth. "I see her."

"Then don't play with her like this," Eriol pleaded, but we both knew I was no longer listening. The moment I start to back away from you, my decision has been made.

"This is how I am now," I replied before turning my back to him and continue walking away. I shut my eyes tightly but continued walking. 'I'm sorry…'

Sakura's POV

Tomoyo and I walked into the club, grins spread across our faces. Ah, it was nice to be here again. I loved just letting loose and being free. We rushed a nearby booth set for four people before it was taken where we placed our bags and locked the door of a small compartment underneath the table where we put our belongings. Stuffing the keys in our pockets, she and I rushed to the dance floor as one of our favourite songs began to play. Half mumbling, half singing the words to myself I began to sway my hips to the beat. For a moment, Tomoyo and my eyes locked knowing this was a song we had done a dance to for a fundraiser a year or two ago. With grins, we began to complete the moves that had been practiced time and time again. Slowly, a small crowd surrounded us as we moved in sync to one another. As we came to our small freestyles I smiled knowing she was challenging me. I was about to respond to her challenge when I looked out the crowd. My vision went blurry and stomach lurched. My face became even redder, but with anger this time. My limbs became numb and I knew he saw me because the moment I locked eyes with him his eyes widened, making his way to me, pushing through the crowd. Shocked, I slowly backed up and ran to our table. Through all the loud music I heard Tomoyo call after me, but she stopped short. She must have seen him. She must have seen the man who walked out on me all those years ago.

Normal POV

As Syaoran slowly made his way to the front door, he saw Sakura running past him and out the front door, her white purse clutched tightly in her hand, tears streaming down her face. Worried, he grabbed her by her wrists and pulled her to his chest and leaned against a near by table. He felt her body tense at first, but slowly recognizing who it was, she wrapped her arms around him tightly and began to sob. He saw a worried older man run towards the door not too long after and look all over the place before his gaze landed to the girl huddled in his arms.

"Sakura, please, listen to me," said the breaking voice.

"Go to hell," she told him with such rage no one but a few knew she could possess.

"Sakura I didn't raise you to—," he began, his tone harsh.

"You didn't raise me at all you bastard! Stay the hell away from me!" She cried as she turned to face him, completely furious. "You left mom, Touya and me completely alone! And I want you to stay away from me!" She cried once more before grabbing his hand and leading him somewhere. Syaoran sent the older man a glare before he was out of his sight completely. He allowed Sakura to take him wherever she wanted. He didn't care where they went. But he knew he had to be with her. After a few minutes, the two finally ended up on the roof where Sakura just fell into the arms of Syaoran and cried. After about ten minutes Sakura's sobbing eased to slight hiccups when she titled her head up to look at him.

"I'm guessing you're wondering who that was," she mumbled softly as she snuggled into Syaoran's chest, getting more comfortable as she sat in his lap. Slowly, Syaoran nodded give her a signal telling her she didn't have to tell him if she didn't want to, but she continued. "I guess it's about time I told you about my father."
