Chapta 4: Resolution
Days went by and no word from Syaoran. What could she say? She choked. He's perfect and I blew it. He probably doesn't love me anymore…
'Don't be an idiot' Who are you and why are you in my head? 'I'm you're common sense. I know, it's been a while…' Hey! 'But seriously Sakura… why are you so afraid to be loved?' I'm not! I just know I'll end up getting hurt again. I don't want to destroy my friendship with him… He's all I have!
'Sakura, you've grown so used to dating the wrong guy that when the right guy (who's been there all along) finally confesses, you reject him cuz you think he's the same when you know he's different.' Wha?
'Don't act dumb. Ya know what, you don't deserve him. He put his heart out on the line for you and you reject him because YOU are afraid of getting hurt. Love is the opposite of that. You know he cares the most about you. He drops everything for you.' …You're right. If I have to be hurt, I'd rather it be from him than anyone else. (A/N: ok that line was taken from His and Her Circumstances. I don't own that either... sigh) He is different. I love him. I want him. I need him!
'And my work is done!' But what do I do now? 'Go to him… Now! Quickly, before it's too late.' Sakura bolted out of her house, her heart on fire. Syaoran…

Hmm… Almost done. Syaoran finished taping the box filled with his clothes. He was offered a job transfer to America a long time ago. The only thing that kept him from taking it was Sakura… He didn't want to loose her. She's lost to me. Change is good… America will be my new beginning.
He stared out the window and noticed a lone cherry blossom tree. It seemed to be crying, for its petals were falling off the branches, dancing solemnly to the ground. Sakura... No matter how hard I try to make myself believe I can live without you, I know I'm still in love you.
Syaoran turned from the window and ran a hand through his messy hair in frusturation. Maybe I can still fix our friendship… Having her like that is better than not having her at all.
He looked at the few articles he had failed to pack. One was a gift Sakura had given him for Christmas. It was a picture of him and her, arms around each other's shoulders and smiling. They looked like they could never be happier in anyone else's arms.
With his final decision he headed out the door and ran toward the girl he cared about the most.

Sakura ran, ignoring her shortage of breath and not quite paying attention. I must reach him!
Syaoran ran, perhaps a little to fast around the corner…
BAM! They collided with Syaoran falling on top of Sakura. "Gomen!" they both said until they realized who the other was. Syaoran backed away in panic.
"Gomen gomen! I'm so sorry Sakura. Not just for running into you, for everything!" Sakura watched him with gentle eyes as he fought to find a reason for her to forgive him.
"We can still be friends, right? I don't want to loose you, you're all I have left here!" he looked at her desperately.
"Oh Syaoran." She pulled him close to her chest. "We'll always be friends. I'm the one that should be sorry. I was a fool. I was afraid of getting hurt again and I hurt you, the one person I care about most. Now, I realize," Oh sweet torture… he shivered as her lips grew close to his ear, whispering lightly, "Aishiteru. I love you, Syaoran. More than anything. Give me the chance to make things right. I love you… I love you."
He looked up and saw her face was streaming with tears. She tipped his head up more and brought her lips upon his. Syaoran held her tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Sakura..." she suddenly felt a jolt of fear. His head was down. Does he not want me? "I'm so happy." They both laughed in relief and he pulled her into another kiss.
I'll never leave you… Never.
