"Sakura, I love you" He said with silence following it. His heart was beating to its loudest.
'No, let her feel the same. Please, don't let this happen'
She couldn't say that she loves him. 'Syaoron, someday you will understand'
"I-I ca-can't" She choked with tears flowing out of her eyes like water falls. She can't handle this. It's too much. .
After 2 years, the beauty still haunts him. The memory is still fresh after all these years, like it just happened yesterday.
After that scene, they stayed friends. But it wasn't the same between them after the confrontation.
Then about 1 year after his confession, Sakura started to look a bit pale looking and sick. He didn't know what was wrong with her but she assured him that nothing was wrong.
"Why are you looking like that?" Syaoron blurted out.
Sakura flinched and looked at the ground. 'Don't tell him. But, I don't like to keep him in the dark. Yet, it will keep him safe'
Syaoron looked at her, searching for any emotion that he can see 'She's keeping something from me'. She won't look his eyes these days and she's been really distant. Maybe his little confession ruined his relationship with her-
"Looking like what Syaoron? Do I look ugly?" Sakura broke his train of thoughts.
Syaoron winced. "I didn't mean it to sound rude. It's just you look pale and you have been really distant. Look, if it's about my little confession forge-"
"Syaoron!" Sakura interrupted. "Do not blame your self. It's nothing. I-I haven't been working out. Yeah. That's it. It's so not your fault." She scolded. She really hated it when he makes everything his fault just to save her from the trouble.
'Your right Syaoron' She thought. 'I am looking pale. Maybe because I'm going to leave soon and might not see you everyday.'
He knows she's hiding something from him. That's why he's been in his room for almost 2 hours now just thinking about Her.
Staring intently at his brown-ish ceiling, he knows she doesn't return his feelings but that time, he just knew she loved him too. Or maybe he imagined it. Maybe he was really desperate to make her feel that same as him.
'Shut up. She doesn't like you.' He told himself. 'You're her, older "brother" like she said. Though I do NOT want to be like that baka, Touya.' He turned to his side.
'Maybe she'll feel the same way. Maybe, someday' And he feel asleep haunted by his emerald queen.
Meanwhile, Sakura was lying down her bed. Lately she hasn't been feeling the best. She really was lonely. Tomoyo is with Eriol at England, having the time of their lives.
'Tomoyo doesn't know how lucky she is.'
Touya and Yuki are at university. And her otou-san is downstairs, doing his paper work since he's a professor at a university. And no mom. Mom is gone. But soon, she'll join her.
She has been looking more paler and paler every month. And now she's really skinny from the lack of food she refused to eat. It's not like she doesn't want to eat it. She can't. She doesn't have a lot of energy left in her.
She knows she can't last forever. She's going to have to leave soon. That was the easy part; the saying goodbye part is hard part.
Syaoron. He was the reason why she wanted to stay. She wants to be near him when she dies. She hasn't seen Syaoron for 3 weeks now. She refuses to see anyone in this situation. Not looking like a walking disaster.
He doesn't know how bad she wants to see him. But she can't tell him. Won't. Because, once she says her true feelings, she's going to leave him to mourn over her. She can't say it to him and leave him. She wants him to be happy.
'Oh no, another major head ache' Yet this head ache wasn't the same. As a piercing pain shot through Sakura's auburn head, the pain was too much for her weak body to handle.
She collapse. After she screamed a agonizing shriek.
This could be the end for her.
