Can't We Just Get Along? Chapter twelve
Christmas was now only 5 days away. We had put our tree up and decorated it a bit. We already had some presents under it too. I refused to come out of the room. Li still came to visit with Eriol since they were cousins but if I knew he was there, I would lock the door and stay there. I felt like I didn't have a heart anymore. He had stolen it from me. I would sometimes find myself crying at night for no reason. Or maybe I did have a reason. I felt like I didn't know myself anymore. Tomoyo and Eriol sometimes took me out to try and get me to cheer up. No matter what they did, I just wasn't happy. I tried so hard to be, but I just couldn't. I was in the mall with them one day and Li walked by. He stop and tried to talk to me but I just walked into the womens washroom and started crying. I didn't want to face him.
Christmas came and passed. It was a pretty good christmas too. Tomoyo and Eriol loved the gifts I gave them. And I loved the gifts I recieved. Tomoyo made me a dress. It was emerald green and floor length. It was wonderful. Eriol gave me a necklace with emerald all around it to match my dress. I really loved my presents. It was a pretty tiring day for me though so I whent back to sleep.
After Christmas I whent back to work. I didn't want to stay home and mope all day. As soon as I walked in my boss saw my blotchy red face. "Sakura, welcome back." She said. "Crying lately?" I smiled. "Yea. Just a bit though. Nothing to be concerned about." I said, reassuring her. My day at work was pretty good. Nothing really interesting really happened. But it was way better than being home all day. I was actually pretty happy to be back. After work I whent straight home to make dinner for myself. Tomoyo and Eriol were eating out.
As I walked into the building I sighed heavily. Just than Li came in. "Hello Li." I said codly. He just nodded and walked over to the elevator. "Why don't you just take the elevator. It's not going to kill you." He said. I decided I would try the elevator. I was totally scared. "Sakura it's ok." He said, seeing me shaking. Just as I thought everything was going ok, we came to a sudden stop. The lights whent out. Than I could feel the elevator slowly dropping, gaining speed. It was going faster and faster. Than, I blacked out.
I woke up in a hospital bed. I sat bolt up and looked around. Eriol, Tomoyo and Li were in the room. "What the hell!" I said. Tomoyo grabbed my hand. "Oh my god Sakura! You're alive!" Eriol gave me smile. Li was just looking at me. "What happened?" I asked. "You were in an elevator with Li and the elevator cord broke and it dropped. You have been out for 3 days. You broke you'r right arm and left leg." Eriol said. I was amazed. "I can't belive it. I almost died the same way my mother did." I was gazing out the window. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was stuck in a hospital with a broken arm and leg.
"Li." I called. He snapped back to reality and walked over to me. "I'm sorry Li." I said. He shook his head. "Sakura. You have no reason to be sorry. I should be apologizing. I shouldn't have kissed her. I shouldn't have made you go into the elevator." He had tears. He was crying? He was so cute when he was crying. I smiled. "I accept you'r apology." He looked at me, tears still streaming down his face. "I love you Li. I always will. You are my first and last love. I don't want to lose you." I didn't want to say it, but I did. But it was a relief to say it. He smiled. "Sakura, I love you too. I'm so sorry."
I was in the hospital for 4 more days. After that I was able to go home. I was no longer afraid of elevators. Sounds gay, I know. My near death experiance taught me something. I wish I knew what it was but I don't. All I knew was that I had no problems getting into elevators. I'll die eventually, right? So, I learned to take chances. As for me and Li, well, we got married. We now have a beautiful baby boy named Yukito. He lookes just like his daddy. We moved out of our crappy appartment. His mother had moved away to another house, bigger too. So we got her old house. Tomoyo and Eriol got married too and live with us. They are expecting soon. She is about 7 and a half months so far. I guess the people you hate the most in the beggining can end up being the people you love the most in the end. I couldn't have asked for a better life than the one I live now.
