K guys, last chapter was left off by a letter…so let's see what the letter is all about….
Chapter 2-How Did She….?
Syaoran tried his best to find a time to where he could be alone, but either Nakuru or Eriol was with him the whole day. After about 4 hours of trying to be alone, he got frustrated, and gave up.(sorry guys, but I promise I really will have the letter's contents read by the end of this chapter) Hey, he had tried right? He decided to go with Eriol and Nakuru out to eat. They arrived at a half restaurant/half karaoke bar (and yes there are such things, I live about 15 minutes from one, half of the building is a restaurant, the other half's a karaoke bar) that Syaoran had never been to before. They walked inside and immediately they heard singing from the intercoms.
"Must be the people on the other side…" Nakuru smiled. "Maybe I'll go and sing after we eat."
"Please spare us," Syaoran said dully, making Eriol laugh.
"Hmph!" Nakuru grunted. "You know you could at LEAST smile, Syaoran! I know how hard you've had it, but-"
"No," Syaoran said, getting up suddenly, "you DON'T know how hard I've had it." He got up from the table and stormed outside. He ran around to the back of the building, just in case Eriol or Nakuru went out there to look for him. He didn't want to see them, he wasn't mad, but he was afraid of what would happen if he did see them just yet. He sighed as he sat on the stairs leading to the back door of the Karaoke part of the building. He looked at his feet for a while, until he heard the faint sounds of footsteps that seemed to be emitting from the front of the building. "What do you want Eriol?" He asked, not looking up.
"Umm, I'm not Eriol….," a girl's voice answered. Syaoran's head perked up at the voice. He looked up to see that girl from his class wearing what seemed to be a costume as she smiled warmly.
"What are you doing here, Sakura?" he asked carelessly, his eyes reverting back to his feet as his bangs covered his face.
"I sing here 4 nights a week, you know, to try to get everyone else to and stuff, and after it closes I help out in the back. What are you doing here?"
"Eating."
Sakura looked around. "I don't see any food….."
"I came here with a few friends, and I went out here for a breath of fresh air."
"Oh, I see. Hey why don't you come in with me? Come on, it'll be fun!" She grabbed his hand before he had the time to answer and dragged him in with her to the bar side of the building. He reluctantly sat down at a booth as Sakura took the stage, making sure to hide himself so that Eriol and Nakuru wouldn't find him. "O.k. people!" Sakura said cheerfully into the microphone. "I'm gonna start off tonight, and I'll let you guys take it from there! This song is called One Thing by Pillar, I hope this song reaches out to some of you!" She looked so happy, and stodd there readily as she prepared to begin. The music started, and she began to sing:
"Sometimes, our minds can make us believe and teach us to see
That there's nothing there, we fool ourselves knowing we're wrong
When we follow along
We've misunderstood what we meant for good
There is one thing you've been meaning
To talk about but don't know what to say
And that one thing that you're feeling
Chances are that someone feels the same way
As the one thing you've been meaning
To bury and then hope it goes away
And that one thing that you're feeling
Doesn't mean you have to go away
I don't know if you realize that you're not alone
Can you let me know?
But there is someone out there for you that is going through the same as you
Why can't we see that there's nothing that we'll have to face?
Or something will happen, where we can't turn back
And we will be stuck right here on our own"
Somehow this made Syaoran think, and he looked at Sakura as she looked at him and smiled, getting off the stage and going to sit with him. She sat across from him at a small table.
"Did you like the song?" she asked eagerly. He ignored the question, and she didn't ask again. "Did you….read the letter?" She asked instead. THE LETTER! He had forgotten all about the letter she had given him! (yes yes we are getting close to reading it)
"Ummm, no, I haven't gotten the chance, I'll read it now." He began to pull the letter out of his pocket, but Sakura stopped it.
"It says when you're alone, so read it when you're alone."
"I can't even read it in front of you?" she gave him one of the most serious looks he had ever seen her give as she shook her head. Before they could converse any further, they were interrupted by a tap on Syaoran's shoulder. He turned around to see Nakuru and Eriol. Nakuru forced him out of the building and into the car.
"You know you COULD say SORRY for STROMING out of there and MAKING A SCENE!" Nakuru said, obviously aggravated.
"Fine I'm sorry," Syaoran grumbled. Nakuru was surprised he'd actually said sorry, and the rest of the trip home was engulfed in silence. Syaoran went straight to the couch and pretended to be asleep so as to where he wouldn't be disturbed. Then, as quietly as he could, opened the letter and began reading:
'Syaoran,
Hey it's Sakura, you're probably wondering why I'm writing this to you, and why I had you read this in private, I just didn't think you wanted anyone else to read this. So anyways, I just wanted to let you know you don't always have to run to Eriol's when you and your mom have an argument, I'll give you my address so as to where she won't always know where you are. I can't say I know how you feel, I've never had to go through that experience of an irresponsible parent who treats you like you're nothing, but if you ever need anyone to talk to, know that you're not alone.' She gave him her number, address, and screen name. 'P.S.,' she continued, 'Don't try figuring out how I know, cause you'll never get it, so there;s no real point in trying.
With Love,
Sakura'
Syaoran's hands shook as he finished. He read it over, to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. 'How did she…..?'he thought. 'Great, not only will I not know how she knows all that, but now I won't be able to sleep!Stupid reverse phycology…..'
Well that's it for now…oh btw I can only update on weekends…
