Thanks guys. I loved your reviews!!
"Thank you," I said, glad that she understood. I gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, before I left to take a quick shower.
The truth came to me.
I'd chosen Jade over Karla.
The soft beeping coming from the machines woke her from her deep sleep. The only light that illuminated the room came from the machines hooked up to her.
She stirred a bit and felt pain shoot up from her legs. She felt so chained up with all the machines hooked up to her.
She didn't want to be here. The anger just dawned upon her. She was Jade, the Jade. She'd promised herself, years before; she didn't need anyone to help her. She didn't need to rely on anyone but herself.
She wouldn't trust anyone.
That's what happened to her mother. She fell hopelessly in love with a traitor and let down her defenses. Love blinded her. That's why Sakura didn't believe in love. It was worthless.
She gasped in pain, as she removed the wires connected to her body and tried to push herself up.
Images of the night flashed in her head. The gang, the necklace, and Syaoran saving her... Syaoran... that's right, he had came and saved her...
As she pushed herself off of the bed, using her arms she stood for two seconds, before her legs buckled under her.
She gave a cry of pain as she collapsed onto the floor.
"I must.. I must get up," she cried, as she used her muscles and tried to push herself up. As soon as her knees touched the floor, they buckled under her once more, and she fell helplessly down onto the floor.
She clutched herself in pain for a few seconds, but she tried again. "I must... I can."
Her elbows hit the ground with a thud and she lay flat on her belly. Sakura looked at her palms and clutched them into a fist.
"I can't.." She trembled, as she curled herself into a ball and the tears started to flow.
"I can't."
The soft knocks on the door, caused Sakura to lift her head as light entered the room.
"Sakura?" The person quietly, entered the room and shut the door behind him. From the floor, Sakura lay there listening to the soft click clacks coming from his, it was definitely a guy, shoe. She watched as the person mistook the big blanket lump on the bed as her. She watched as he sat himself down on the chair next to the bed and sighed.
She thought about telling him, he was down there, but the embarrassment...
So she waited and she lay there, watching and waiting for what he would do.
A few seconds passed, before she heard him say something.
"Jade uh.. Sakura.. I know you can't hear me, and I don't understand why I'm saying this, but there's something I need to say."
Her hands covered the gasp that escaped her lips.
Syaoran??
"I know I've just met you, but I think I was too quick to judge you. The first thing I thought when I saw you was how much of a bitch you were. I was certain you were spoiled, and just wanted to learn karate for a reason to beat more people up...but what you said before."
'I can't blame you. I grew up the same way as you did.'
He shifted and his voice went softer, lower. "Jade, I don't understand you. One second, you act so tough and the other, your just such a different person. I wasn't sure what you meant by what you said, but... I think I do now. It made me realize that we are much more alike than we think..."
Sakura didn't know what to do. She couldn't breathe.
She clutched her heart. What was this thing she was feeling?
"I hope you get well soon because Mei Lin will be devastated." He got up and placed something, a flower? Onto the nightstand besides the bed.
Sakura closed her eyes. She didn't want to think.
Suddenly she felt something nudge the side of her leg.
"Ow," she cried as pain shot up from her leg.
"Jade?? What are you doing down there?"
Oh crap.
She lifted her head and her eyes stared into Syaoran's.
"I fell."
Great, great answer.
Syaoran held her arms and pulled her up onto the bed. He switched on the lamp.
The light stung her eyes.
"Are you alright?" He asked, there eyes locking.
Jade looked away. "I'm fine."
Silence fell over them. Slowly, Sakura sneaked a look at Syaoran.
He was looking straight pass her with a serious face on and she could tell he was thinking. "You heard everything?"
Slowly she nodded. "I didn't mean to. I didn't want to stop you."
"No, it's fine," he said.
He got up. "Go rest now and don't try to escape again. Your muscles need time to relax. The doctor said you'll be fine with a full night sleep. I'll see you soon." He said, switching off the lamp.
Sakura watched the door close.
So he knew.
He knew she wanted to escape.
Maybe he was right. They were more alike than the other thought.
