Hey! Uh, this song chappie is no longer than 774 words... I know, short, but it's just the spacing... you see, chappies three and four could be together, but I wanted to make a song chappie on its own, so this short chappie is going to be a full chappie.
Well, on this chappie not much happens... well, what does happen is obvious. (Hint? Well, the chappie's name... Jealousy.)
The name of the song I'm using is Jealousy, by The Pet Shop Boys... I know, it's different, but I think it's perfect for the chappie! (Though the story behind the song is a bit different...) Well, hope you'll enjoy it!
Disclaimer: (yelling loudly)It's a free country! (calming down and sighing sadly) yet CCS still remains expensive...
Sakura woke at three, and looked toward Shaoran's bed. He was fast asleep, lying on his side, facing her. She smiled; he looked innocent, and gentle. To her he already was, but now he looked like a child. She giggled; if he ever saw himself sleep, he'd never sleep again.
Sitting up, she turned the volume dial on the radio to low before turning it on. She messed with the dial when she heard the familiar voice of the Pet Shop Boys. She sighed and fell back onto her bed, listening to the song.
At dead of night, when strangers roam,
the streets in search of anyone who'll take them home.
I lie alone, the clock strikes three,
and anyone who wanted to could contact me.
At dead of night, 'till break of day,
endless thoughts and questions keep me awake;
It's much too late...
She closed her eyes. Unknowing to her, the words touched her heart, as if she understood. Each note and word in the song was familiar to her, and all together the song seemed to mirror her heart's words.
Where've you been?
Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would.
Do you lie?
Do you try
to keep in touch? You know you could.
I've tried to see your point of view,
but could not hear or see
for jealousy...
Jealousy... the word stabbed her. The word sliced through her flesh, layer by layer. She squirmed, feeling uncomfortable. No way could a simple word as jealousy could ever hurt her this way... or could it?
I never knew
time passed so slow.
I wish I'd never met you,
or that I could bear to let you go.
At dead of night, 'till break of day,
endless thoughts and questions keep me awake.
It's much too late...
She could not find herself comfortable. Why would she be jealous? And jealous of what? She couldn't feel jealous of anything she was aware of... then she remembered those piecing crimson eyes trying to burn her own emerald ones... Michie.
Where've you been?

You didn't phone when you said you would.

Why did Michie hate her so much? They had just met. And Shaoran was her brother... not really her brother, but they were raised together as brother and sister. Her heart started to ache. While she heard the words echo into her mind, she found herself sitting on Shaoran's computer chair.
Looking at a picture of him and Michie, she felt those words slice though her heart, making it secretly bleed. She missed the times when they were smaller: Staring into the star-struck sky and making up funny stories together, watch fighting movies every night, and just plainly spending time together. Now those days seemed so far away...

Michie hated her for actually being in Shaoran's time, Sakura realized. Michie is trying to keep him from her, so he'll only think about Michie. Sakura saw it in her glowing glare, and felt it.
'No way!' she thought with determination 'She's not taking up all his time! Not with me around!'
Taking Shaoran away from her seemed to be Michie's goal, but Sakura was not giving up... no way, no how. And she wanted to at least make Shaoran put her above Michie for once. Slowly she made her way back to her bed, but stopped. She shook Shaoran awake and watched his eyes turn to her.
"What?" he asked.
"Can we hang out the whole day, just the two of us?" she asked with a smile.
"Sure, today we'll hang out, just the two of us..." he mumbled, falling back asleep.
She turned to her bed and smiled. She fell on it and turned toward the radio, waiting for those few last words, shutting it off after hearing it.
I never knew
'till I met you...
Jealousy, something she just admitted to have...
So, d'you like the song? See? It was not much... but she just admitted that she was jealous, and that is good. Michie and Sakura won't like each other very much, I can tell you that...
Poor Shaoran though. He's stuck between two beautiful girls... Sakura's slowly beginning to realize that she loves him, and Shaoran is still blinded and thinks that he loves Michie... poor soul.
Well, here's my opinion to Shaoran: Leave the dumb head Michie and go with Sakura, a girl who can actually keep you satisfied! (giggles) Sorry for that... anyway, Marigold Sunlight signing out! Peace!
