Chapter Ten

Tomoyo felt alone.

Sakura had everything and she was just a normal girl with looks that nobody could perceive. She felt unloved, uncared for and unnoticed. Yes, she was smart, good-looking and respected but how come Sakura was noticed before her?

A lot of boys noticed her before they could notice Sakura and yet her best friend had all the attention she ever wanted. Don't take it wrong. She loved Sakura, she treated her like her very own sister but somehow, it just didn't seem fair that she had a lot of things that she never wanted and Sakura had everything she longed to have.

She looked at the closed windows beside her best friend's bed. The steady rhythm of the rain slowly calmed her nerves but they never chased her anxiety away. She turned at the bed when she felt a slight movement.

She smiled when she saw Eriol repositioning himself on the couch. He had stayed for the night. Syaoran did as well but he was currently with the doctors. He would be giving his blood today. Fujitaka and Touya had to go home for their own reasons. Tomoyo didn't care.

She sat down at the edge of the bed and watched Sakura closely. She didn't know how to act towards her anymore. She was happy that both these men loved Sakura, but she was mad that she never left anyone for herself. She was glad that Sakura was about to recover but she was jealous that she had all the attention and care.

Her trance was broken when the door creaked open. She smiled at Sakura's new visitor.

"Good day Ms. Principal." she greeted solemnly.

"How is she doing?" The old woman asked, peering at the bed. "And how's he?" She pointed at Eriol sprawled at the chair. Tomoyo giggled.

The principal smiled. "Glad you laughed. You looked so sad when I came in."

Tomoyo faked a smile. "I was just remembering this sad book I read… no worries." she lied before standing up and drinking a glass of water. "Have you seen Li-kun miss?"

The principal nodded. "He went with the doctor who operated with Kinomoto yesterday."

"I see…"

Tomoyo smiled and headed for the door. "When Eriol wakes up, kindly tell him to watch over Sakura."

Tomoyo strode over to the hospital's door. She needed some time alone. She needed some time for herself. A time to think things over. She didn't want to destroy her friendship with her friend but she didn't want to let Sakura have it all either. Though she had denied it, she was attracted. She didn't know to whom, since the boys were always together but she told herself she was attracted to both. It confused even her but she can't do anything.

She can't order her heart.

When she reached her home, her mother was not around. She went over to her room and collapsed on the soft mattress. Yes, she knows now that she liked Eriol, even Syaoran. Yes they were still jerks but deep inside they really care about other people. She saw them when Sakura had been in danger.

"Sometimes, I wish I'm the damsel in distress." she muttered when a knock was heard on her room. Tomoyo wiped the tears away and unlocked her door.

"Dear,"

"Hi mom." she greeted dryly. Sonomi closed the door behind her and led her daughter on the bed.

"Is something bothering you?" she asked.

"No." Tomoyo lied. She hugged one of her pillows tight.

"How's Sakura honey? I sure do hope she's alright."

Sakura again. Why can't anybody care about me? Tomoyo mentally slapped herself. She couldn't believe how selfish she had been. Sakura didn't mean to do this to her. If she had known, Sakura would've forced one of the guys to hook up with her and here was she, doubting their strong bond.

"She's okay mom." Tomoyo said, smiling. "She already has some people caring over her."

Syaoran settled himself on the pastel white couch on the doctor's office. They had questioned him again and again about his decision. He had told them over and over again that he was sure about his choice.

They had left him in peace but not after suggesting he called his family. He did and once he told his sisters about what he had done, they had shouted in hi ear that it was a bad idea.

He had hung up on them, hearing enough when they reminded him that his father wouldn't have approved of his actions. Their parents had long gone and Syaoran was left alone in the care of his sisters. He didn't like the idea one bit but the chestnut-haired boy cannot do anything about it.

After all, his sisters were older than him and he was still a teenager. He couldn't get his hands on the money his parents had given him until he turned twenty. He heaved a furious sigh before gazing over at the doctors. They were getting everything ready; to make sure it was going to be safe for both him and Sakura.

All he had to do was wait.

Sakura, he didn't know when or why but she had grown on him. He must admit that he felt at ease with her ever since he talked to her at detention. It wasn't the perfect meeting but he knew that it wasn't the worst either.

Sakura loathed him; she had shown that even before they met. He reckoned it was because of his attitude. He was a little arrogant but he would always talk to people, regardless of their status. Syaoran frowned. He had thought that Sakura would just be one of those girls that he would use to drown away the pain he felt whenever he thought about his mother.

She was the only one in his family that he had ever been close to but she died shortly after her husband had died. Apparently, she loved him too much to continue living in his absence. His mom was stupid but that didn't stop him from loving her.

She was the only one who understood him. The only one kind enough to let him pour his feelings out. When she died, he had caged his heart from everyone. Sure he still talked with people but he never let them know about his feelings. He had concealed them deep, so deep that he had difficulty showing them anymore.

His show with people had been a mask. A false mask that he had worn ever since Yelan had died. It just wasn't fair that the only person he had grown to love should go away.

And now, Sakura was doing the same thing to him as his mother had. She had grown into him, destroying that mask that he wore around people, forcing him to act more like himself. His feelings were surfacing and he couldn't feel but be happy with the pain being out of his shoulders.

She had done a lot for him than she know and know… he was going to repay her.

--

Pain.

That was the first thing the emerald-eyed girl felt when she fell into consciousness. She tried to bring up her hands and massage her head but the pain prevented her from doing so.

She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Tomoyo crying above her. Her best friend had wanted to throw her arms around her but knew that it would not be useful in healing her wounds. She limited herself on a hand squeeze.

Eriol was behind her. His glasses were not there and his hair was ruffled. He smiled at the girl on the bed.

"Feeling better?" he asked.

Sakura frowned, meaning she answered no. Her head was throbbing and her vision was slowly failing, blurring the persons in front of her. She needed to sleep, desperately. She scanned the room one more time and just before she fell into her slumber, a question escaped her lips.

"Where's Syaoran?"

So…um…yeah. That's it. I was just aiming to express their feelings here…I hope you guys love it. If there's anything wrong, tell me. Grammatical mistakes anything! And you can be free to tell me what you want to happen.
