Yah! Two chapters in one day! Gotta love it!

With You
Chapter Ten: Heartbreak

It was only two weeks later that it happened, the day my heart broke in two.

I had gone out with Syaoran a few more times since the first movie date, going to different places like tourist spots, dances, etc. It had all been fun, everything perfect.

Of course more making out, but nothing as close as that first time.

I found, over those two weeks with Syaoran, that I was slowly falling for him.

Okay, I had fallen for him, I'll admit it. I was in love with Syaoran Li.

And it hurt me to know that I was going home in only one short week.

"What'll you do, when you get home?" Syaoran asked ask we lay on the docks, staring up at the night sky.

I shrugged, my hands resting comfortably on my stomach, my emerald eyes cast towards the sky. "I don't…know. I guess everything will go back to normal."

Syaoran sighed and lifted his hand over mine. "I don't want everything to go back to the way it was. I wish you could stay."

I smiled faintly at him. "I wish I could stay, too, Syaoran. I really do. But…I have to go back. I'm tired of living in a hotel and I miss Tamoeda…but I'll miss you."

Syaoran smirked, turning to me. "You haven't been living at the hotel the whole time."

That, was true.

I had spent a few nights at Syaoran and Meilin's house, not in the same room thank you, getting practically attacked by his four sisters. I had also spent a few nights at Shine's.

Of course, when I was at Syaoran's...making out all the way...until his annoying sisters came in and were all "Omigod how CUTE!"

But otherwise, it was hotel all the way.

Oh well…

I sighed and sat up, letting go of Syaoran's hand, hugging my knees to my chest.

What was I supposed to do about Syaoran? I mean, long distance relationships just…didn't work out. Often.

I don't know how long I'd be able to go without him.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Syaoran asked, sitting up, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"I don't know…" I breathed, staring down at the water below us.

This was the first place I'd gone with Syaoran, somewhat, my second night in Hong Kong, to shoot off fireworks. I loved it here…

I hated to leave it.

"Don't worry about it Sakura." Syaoran said, hugging me tightly against him. "We'll figure something out."

I felt tears sting at my eyes as he held me. I had become so accustomed over the past two weeks to the way he held me, the way I felt safe in his arms, the way I seemed to fit so well there.

And now I had to leave that all behind.

Gently, I pulled away from his hold and got to my feet, tears blurring my vision.

"Sakura?" Syaoran said, looking up at me. "What's wrong?"

"It wont work Syaoran." I said, blinking hard, not allowing the tears to fall. "You know it won't work."

"Work? What won't work?" he asked, sounding confused.

"Us!" I cried. "You know it can't work Syaoran. I'm going back to Japan in a week, less, and we won't see each other again!"

"Sakura you don't know that." Syaoran said, getting to his feet, standing in front of me. "We'll meet again, someday."

"But you don't know that." I said, my voice cracking. "I want to be with you, I do. But…it won't work. I can't come here every year and I know you can't come to Japan every year. You know it has to be done Syaoran."

"Sakura…please." Syaoran breathed, gripping my hands tightly in his. "Don't say that. I…I love you. I don't want to loose you."

My breath caught in my throat as he said those simple words. I love you. I hadn't heard those words since my mother died. Sure, my dad said it and Touya said it sometimes, but not in the way Syaoran said it.

"Sakura I love you." he said again, staring down at me, his eyes pleading. "Please."

I closed my eyes, glittering tears rolling down my cheeks. "I…can't. I don't want to hurt you Syaoran. If we stayed like this…it would only hurt you."

He sighed and leaned forward, catching my mouth in his.

I struggled against his grasp on me, not wanting to fall into the kiss, as I had so many times before.

But I couldn't help it. I was falling.

Just as I thought there was no hope, that I'd never be able to let him go, I pushed away from him.

"Stop." I demanded. "Stop it Syaoran."

"Sakura…" he breathed.

I shook my head, backing away from his grasp. "I…I have to go. Goodbye Syaoran."

Then I turned, and ran.

He didn't follow after me, not like all those other times he'd chased me along the beach, along the streets. He didn't follow me.

So I ran, all the way back to the hotel, hot tears streaking down my cheeks.

I ran into the hotel, skipping the elevator and taking the stairs. I ran all the way to my room, opened the door, slammed it shut, and fell in a heap onto my bed, burying my face in my arms.

"I love you too…" I whispered into the covers. "I love you too, Syaoran."

I only wished that he could hear me.

Suddenly I felt a hand rest against my shoulder, and I sat up, turning to face the person.

"T-Touya?" I sniffed, rubbing the tears from my eyes. "What are you doing in here?"

"I heard you slam the door." Touya smirked. "What're you crying for, squirt?"

I smiled faintly. "It's nothing."

"Come on Sakura." Touya sighed, wiping a tear from my cheek with his thumb. "I think I know when something's wrong with my sister. Now, tell me, what happened?"

I wasn't going to, I really wasn't, but I soon found myself blurting out everything. Everything from over the past two weeks with Syaoran.

Touya frowned when I was finished, his dark eyes hooded. "I should have known it was that kid."

"No, it's not his fault." I said quickly. "I just…I don't want to leave his, Touya. I…I think I-"

"Love him?" Touya said.

I nodded, lowering my head. "You must think I'm pretty stupid, don't you?"

Touya sighed and wrapped his arms around me tightly, resting his head on top of mine. "No, Sakura, I don't. I think you have back choices in guys, but I don't think your stupid."

I smiled faintly. "Thank you Touya."

"Besides." he smiled down at me. "We're going home in a week and you'll never see that kid again. So why worry about it? It's water under the bridge, now."

I sighed. I wish it were that simple.

One Week Later, Back in Japan…

I lay on Tomoyo's bed, staring blankly at the floor while she and Eriol went through all my pictures of the trip.

The last week had been hell. The first day I had refused to come out of the room, and Syaoran had left message after message for me.

The last one had been; Fine. Have a nice life.

That had done it.

After that I didn't hear from him again, or Meilin, or Shine, or anyone. For the whole week I remained with my family, not hearing a word from any of my new friends.

Did they all hate me now because of what I'd done? If so…ouch.

I thought that, of course, until Shine and Meilin came to see me off at the airport.

"Come over here Sakura." Eriol said, lying on the floor beside Tomoyo, the pictures from my trip scattered in front of them. "Tell us who these people are."

I sighed, I didn't want to, and crawled onto the floor, sitting beside Eriol.

He pointed to a picture of Meilin, when we'd first been walking to the club my second night in Hong Kong.

"That's Meilin." I said. "You talked to her Tomoyo."

"So that's her." Tomoyo smiled. "Cool! Now at least I have a face to go with the voice."

"Her?" Eriol said, pointing to another picture.

I smiled. "Shine."

It was a picture of Shine and I standing in front of a beautiful view on top of Victoria Point.

"Them?" Tomoyo said.

"Chang and Jodie." I said.

"Him?" Eriol said, pointing to one of me and Syaoran.

I frowned, picking the photo off the ground.

It was a picture we'd taken at his house, just after I'd gone to the movie with him. His arm was comfortably around my waist and I was leaning into his chest, each of us with silly smiles on our faces.

"Syaoran." I said softly.

"No way!" Tomoyo gasped. "Wow he's-"

"Tomoyo." Eriol said flatly. "Don't forget your boyfriend is in the room."

Tomoyo smiled at Eriol and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "I know. Don't worry, I only have eyes for you."

I stared down at the picture of Syaoran and I, there were so many more in the pile, and I felt as if I might cry.

I had wanted to burn the pictures, get rid of them forever…but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I wanted the memories…but…I was still hurt.

He didn't have to get so mad. I know I hurt him but…he must have known it was coming. It couldn't possibly work between us, right?

I mean, I would never see him again.

I sighed and lay down beside Eriol, poking through the rest of the pictures and explaining them.

School started in two days and I was happy. At least then my mind would be kept busy, and I would soon forget all about my summer romance with Syaoran Li.

Yeah, you think that Sakura. Hope you liked it! I gave you two chapters so REVIEW!
