Chapter 2: Confusing
As Sakura closed the door she let herself fall down to the floor along with her heart. She cried silently. 'I thought you're over him Sakura?' She mumbled to herself. 'Quit lying to yourself girl. You know you still love him.'
For a long time she just lay there unmoving. She had already stopped crying. She was staring at nothing, tear stains marked her cheeks. She closed her eyes, her ears, her doors to the outside world and the cruelties they bring.
The incessant ringing of the phone brought her back to reality. She gingerly stood up and picked up the phone. 'Must be Tomoyo' she thought.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sakura!" came Tomoyo's cheerful voice.
"Hey Tomoyo" Sakura tried to sound cheerful but failed.
"What's wrong?" Sakura could hear the worry in Tomoyo's voice.
"Wha- nothing really, just the jet lag still have it" Sakura lied
"Oh just get some rest okay"
"Right"
"And don't unpack just yet. I'll help you tomorrow all you gotta do today is sleep"
"But Tomoyo my boarder is coming today remember?" Sakura reminded Tomoyo. Since Sakura's father was always away for archeological expeditions and Touya is in England with his wife Kaho they decided to better have a boarder to keep Sakura some company.
"Oh yeah! What was his name again?" Tomoyo asked.
"Hirigazawa, Eriol" (Is this the right spelling? Would anyone care to tell me later?)
""Are you gonna be alright Sakura? I mean he's male and all" Tomoyo said worriedly.
"Tomoyo relax I can handle this and besides I can always kick him out if the need arises." Sakura said trying to reassure her friend.
"Oh ok whatever, I'll be there tomorrow to pick you up early for enrolment."
"See you tomorrow then!"
"Bye"
"Bye"
As Sakura placed down the receiver her stomach growled. "Oh I'm hungry!" She mumbled. She quickly checked the fridge and the cabinets. "EMPTY!!!!" She wailed. It's supposed to be empty you dimwit since no one was in the house. "Oh well I better go to the grocery"
Sakura walked out of the house feeling the cool night breeze. She sighed. The moon was already out shining in its glory. Sakura stared at it but the moon became Syaoran's face.
Forget his name, forget his face
Sakura shook her head.
Forget his kiss and warm embrace
'Stop thinking about him girl'
Forget his love that once was true
She walked briskly to the grocery.
Remember now, there's someone new
Getting inside the grocery did no help. Every corner reminded her of
Syaoran. They used to shop here.
Forget the love that once was shared
Sakura picked a basket and began putting the things she needed in it.
'Sakura have you tasted this cookies?'
Forget the fact that he once cared
'No Syaoran but I'm sure you're sweeter than them'
Forget the time you've spent together
'Oh? Ehehe...'
Remember now, he's gone forever
When Sakura reached the counter her cheeks were already damp with tears.
Forget when you cried all night long
She paid the items and hurriedly went out.
Forget him when they play your song
She can no longer stand it!
Forget how close you two were
Tears were falling anew.
Remember now, he's choosin' her
Her feet were carrying her without her mind controlling it.
Forget you have memorized his walk
They were carrying her to the places she and Syaoran went.
'Sakura isn't this place lovely?'
Forget the way he used to talk
'Why am I here?' Sakura carefully wiped her tears.
Forget the times when he was mad
Remember now his happy not sad
Her eyes widened with fear at the realization where she was. 'No!'
Forget the thrills when he passed by
Forget the times he made you cry
She was in the Cherry blossom park named after the Cherry blossom trees that grew there.
'This is the perfect place for us… my Cherry Blossom'
Forget the way he spoke your name
Remember now, things aren't the same
She walked past the benches they once sat on.
'Syaoran let's sit here I'm tired!'
'Ah Sakura just a little more'
Forget the time that went so fast
Forget them all they're just the past.
'Why?'
'You'll see…'
'wow!' An amazed Sakura exclaimed.
'The Cherry blossom circle' Syaoran smiled.
Things were relaying in Sakura's mind. She was nearing the clearing… the Cherry Blossom circle… their secret place… There was Syaoran but instead of an auburn haired girl he was with a baby blue haired girl.
Forget the dreams that can't come true
Sakura dropped the plastic bag she was carrying. This was too much!
Forget him girl, he has forgotten you…
"Hmm?" Syaoran and his girlfriend stared at a stunned Sakura.
"Sumemasen! I didn't mean to intrude" Sakura bowed hiding the tears that were starting to fall again. "It's alright" She heard the sweet voice of Syaoran's girlfriend. To Sakura's horror Syaoran's girlfriend walked towards her amd raised her face exposing it to their view. Sakura was too stunned to look away.
Her face was filled with kindness. She was pretty— no the right word is beautiful. No wonder Syaoran fell for her. She was the image of an angel. "Ne why are you crying?" she asked gently. Just then Syaoran was beside her. "Are you alright Kinomoto?" He asked. Sakura couldn't speak, a pain so great seized her heart.
"You know this girl?" His girlfriend asked. "Yeah this is my neighbor Kinomoto Sakura" The girl's eyes widened her perfect lips formed an o. She smiled suddenly. "My name is Miyuki, Kari" Sakura straightened up. "Nice to meet you Miyuki-san" Sakura smiled.
Syaoran noticed it was the sad smile again. Syaoran sighed. Why was she here anyway. "Well gotta go sorry for intruding again" He heard Sakura. She picked up the grocery bag and turned around. "Wait" he called before he could stop himself. "Huh?" Both Sakura and Kari looked at him. "Umm… Kari and I was just about to go home, how about we give you a ride?"
Kari and I…
He's offering a ride home nod you foolish girl!
"That would be great!" Sakura said forcing a smile,
Sakura and Kari walked ahead of him. As he was about to leave the clearing a flash of emerald eyes crossed his mind along with the word 'Aisheteru' . Syaoran shook his head. 'What was that all about?' He frowned. 'I'm just tired.'
He immediately caught up with Kari and Sakura. "So you're having a boarder?" Kari was asking Sakura. "Yeah dad said it's better if I have company" Sakura answered.
During the ride home Sakura sat silently not uttering a single word.
'Why do you have to be nice to her? Of all the people!' Her mind screamed at her. 'I'm so tired of being nice!'
'But then she is so nice to me.'
'And she's the one who stole Syaoran from you'
'Well she did not really steal Syaoran! He forgot about me.'
'He forgot about you and she took over'
'Well it wasn't really her fault if Syaoran fell for her'
'Why didn't you go to Hong Kong anyway! He might have remembered you and it wouldn't have been too late!'
'It's all in the past now!' Sakura scolded herself.
'And yet you're still crying' her mind taunted
'Just shut up please'
'Whatever! When will you ever learn to fight for what is yours Kinomoto'
He has forgotten you…
The words lingered in her confused mind.
