A Forbidden Love

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in CCS though I wish I did.

AN: um… I think most of this chapter is flashbacks and it begins in the flashback so don't get confused. Oh and this is like two months after their first date in the first chapter. Anyways here's the second chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 2: Confusion Of One's Heart

Sakura's p.o.v

Tomoyo and Syaoran's relationship has been steadily improving. They have been going out for two months now. They seemed so happy together. It all just fitted into the right place. It would be so nice to have someone to care for me.

I sighed. Ever since Tomoyo started going out with Syaoran she's been spending less and less time with us and more and more time with Syaoran. I miss her presence but I know that she's always happier whenever she's with Syaoran. Her eyes practically glowed at the sight of him. Still I wished she would sit with us sometimes instead of always sitting with Syaoran and his friends and all. It would be just like the old times or even better she could introduce us to his friends.

"Hey Tomoyo!" I waved frantically at her to catch her attention. She finally saw me and jogged over.

"Kura-chan! Where were you?" she panted out, " I have so much to tell you!"

She finally stopped to catch her breath.

"Syaoran and I was planning on having a to have a 'Second Month Anniversary' at the night club downtown. I would really appreciate it if you could come. It's on the second of June. Are you free or not?"

My heart skipped a beat as I heard her speak of her two-month anniversary. It made their relationship seem like they were married. For some reason it didn't surprise me to hear her speaking about her relationship with the hottest guy in the school, Syaoran.

"Er. I'm not really sure I can come, Tomo-chan. I have other appointments…" I blabbered on telling her all the meetings I have to attend since I was chosen as class prefect. I should have made every effort to attend but I can't disappoint the student body.

"But Kura-chan," Tomoyo whined, "you have to come. You'll be missing out on heaps. Naoko and Rika are coming, um, all of Syaoran's friends and heaps of other people. It'll be a bash! So you gotta come, Kura-chan." She pleaded, looking at me from those puppy eyes of hers.

I sighed. Those irresistible, innocent puppy dog eyes of hers always made me do everything she says.

"I'll try to come but I'm not promising anything," I told her.

She suddenly brightened up.

"Ok!" she chirped and did a little victory dance while I sweat dropped at her

childishness.

IN THE PRESENT

She was always so happy like that. That peaceful smile never failed to light up my day.

It pains me to see her crying. Occasions like that were so rare. It almost never happened but now…

FLASHBACK

"Naoko, what time was the environmental meeting this Thursday?" I asked Naoko.

Naoko turned and turned to face me.

"You mean the meeting on the 2nd of June?"

"Yeah," I replied absentmindedly while looking at my schedule for the week.

She cocked her head at me and let out a small giggle.

"Sakura, didn't you know that the meeting was cancelled because Tomoyo's having her 'Second Month Anniversary' on the same day and we all know how you would want to go so we changed it to next Thursday"

I looked at her wide-eyed.

"The meeting was cancelled?" I mumbled.

"Yep! You are going to her anniversary right?" she asked me uncertainly.

"Um… sure…of course."

Personally I really wasn't sure. I mean, I just told my best friend that I can't go to her anniversary party and now I can. I'll have to tell her somehow and get her a gift.

"Bye Naoko! I have to get Tomoyo a present for her party, so I guess I'll see you there!"

Of course, being me, I don't really need to get her a present. I could just let her dress me up for a whole day. She would be totally blown over the top by that but…I'll have to suffer so…no.

I drove to the nearest gift shop and browsed around a bit until I saw the perfect gift. It was a chain with a silver locket carved into the form of a plum blossom. It really caught my eye. From the moment I set eyes on it I knew she would love it.

IN THE PRESENT

She did love it. Did. It was so perfect when she wore it. It was a perfect match around her dainty neck. I didn't mean it but…she threw it back at me after that day. That faithful day when everything changed.

FLASHBACK(AN: just thought you should know the following flashback is going to be when the party starts and this flashback is NOT the 'faithful day'.)

I flashed my id at the security guard at the entrance of the nightclub and passed him.

The lights were dark inside the ideal lighting for parties. People oozed onto the dance floor.

My eyes scanned the room for the presence of Tomoyo and other people I know. Finally I caught a glimpse of violet hair and pushed my way through. As I made my way through the dance floor a few wolf whistles were heard.

I knew I shouldn't have worn this outfit. It draws too much unwanted attention to my figure but Tomoyo made it for me especially for this occasion so I have to wear it.

IN THE PRESENT

I remember it so well. The first time I saw the outfit. My jaws dropped to the ground when she announced that I have to wear it to the party.

It was a black mini skirt with chains dangling on the side of it. The top was like a silver corset except the back was just strings criss-crossing it holding it together. She gave it to me just before her anniversary. She had said it was because I had helped her throughout their relationship. I had helped?

I laughed bitterly. Yes, I had helped but perhaps not to help them get along properly.

FLASHBACK

"Hey Tomoyo," I yelled out to her from across the crowd.

She turned her head wondering who yelled out her name and saw me. An expression of delight crossed her face.

"Sakura you came!"

She pushed her way around the crowd to reach me.

"Yeah."

She squealed," And you wore the dress I gave you!"

I nodded shyly.

"Well enjoy the party!" she told me and waltzed away.

I sighed. There were no one here that I know of except for Syaoran and Tomoyo, and I can't just stick with them for the whole night.

I was broken out of my chain of thoughts when a guy that I did not whispered, "let's have some fun," huskily in my ear.

I felt sick. These guys were Syaoran's friends? Tomoyo was hanging around with these types of people?

Disgusted, I pushed him away and went over to the bar.

"Would you like anything miss?" the bartender asked me.

"No thanks" I told him.

I was hoping to get some peace and quite when one of the other guys approached me again.

"Can I get you a drink?" he asked me smoothly. A little too smoothly. Almost as if he had said to all the other girls he met.

I stared at him. My eyes were narrowing.

"I don't drink," I shot at him coldly.

"Oh? Well then would you like to play?" he asked me slyly," after all it won't be a party if you can't have some fun.

I felt disgusted. These people were getting on my nerves. I needed some fresh air.

MEANWHILE Sakura's p.o.v

Hours had past since the party had started and by now Tomoyo was a little drunk.

I felt disgusted. These people were getting on my nerves. I needed some fresh air.

MEANWHILE(AN:I don't fink this is from anyone's p.o.v but if it is and I realise it then I'll it in.)

Hours had past since the party had started and by mow Tomoyo was a little drunk.

"Hey…" Takashi Yamazaki, a friend of Syaoran's from his days as a player, said as he approached Tomoyo.

Tomoyo feeling rather giggly replied," Hey!"

Syaoran's p.o.v.

I was just chatting to one of my old buddies when I caught sight of Tomoyo. She is so beautiful. I don't even know what I did to deserve an angel such as her. I was about to leave my friend and go to her but then I saw Yamazaki talking to her so I just kept talking to my old buddies. There was nothing wrong with the picture. It was just my girlfriend chatting with one of my mates. Nothing wrong at all, nothing that is until I saw Yamazaki take a step closer to her.

The mere sight of them together so close made my blood boil.

Who does Yamazaki think he is? Trying to steal my chic. And why the hell isn't Tomoyo pushing him away!

Confusion swirled in my eyes as I saw his lips descend on hers. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back.

I tried to dash towards her but to crowd kept pushing me back. The next thing I knew I had lost sight of them.

I felt my heart break. How could she do this to me? To us? I thought we were the best couple. She was my only one. My soul mate. Why? WHY?

I felt lost. I needed a drink.

I forcefully pushed my way through the crowd. Some of them sent me dirty glances while others glared at me though I payed them no attention. I reached the bar and signalled for the bartender.

"Anything with a high amount of alcohol in it," I ordered.

The bartender raised an eyebrow at me but I let it slip. I was too depressed to actually do anything about it.

The bartender handed me a drink and I drank it all in a gulp. I signalled for another one.

I wasn't a particular fan of alcoholic drinks but I was willing to do whatever it takes to make me feel better.

After another three of those drinks I felt sick. My body wouldn't take in anymore of that disgusting stuff. I went outside immediately.

(AN: Sakura also left the bar so she's outside as well.)

Sakura's p.o.v

"Syaoran! What are you doing out here?"

I rushed forward quickly to steady him as he began to fall.

He clutched onto me as he vomited out some unknown substance.

My eyes grew wide. I have never seen him in this state before. What happened to him? And on top of that HE, the HOTTEST guy in school, is CLUTCHING onto MY arm!

I helped him over to a bench nearby and began to wipe the muck of his face.

He looks so defenceless when he's like this.

"Why…?" he kept muttering, "why? Why? Why…?"

My eyes softened as I looked at him and the pathetic state he's in. I couldn't help but pity him. Questions of what happened raced through my mind. He was undeniably the toughest guy I know and yet what could've happened to put him in the state he's in now?

I got up and went to the nearest vending machine and brought him a bottle of water. Everything was so right in the beginning so why was he like this now?

I handed the bottle of water to him subconsciously and he faintly muttered out a 'thanks'.

He took a gulp, rinsed his mouth and spitted it out.

Personally I think it is very unreasonable to spit on the ground when there is a bin right next to him but considering the fact that he's drunk I let it pass.

Some time later when he regained some of his consciousness his stomach rumbled.

I giggled. He looks so adorable.

I helped up and took him to the nearest noodle bar.

We ordered and I asked him about what happened in the nightclub.

"So what happened in the nightclub?"

"What happened in the night club?" his voice was faint and emotionless.

"Tomoyo…she…"

"Yes what about Tomoyo?" I asked eagerly. This has something to do with Tomoyo? But…how?

"She…she…"

I leaned forward eagerly.

"She…cheated on me…she…kissed…another guy…she kissed Yamazaki…" his voice faded.

The news hit me like a rock.

I fell back into my chair.

Tomoyo cheated on Syaoran? Why?

No wonder Syaoran was in such a state.

"Are you sure it was Tomoyo? I mean you might have mistaken another girl for her…" I asked him uncertainly.

The chance of him mistaking her for another girl was highly unlikely because the only girl in our school with violet hair is Tomoyo. Still it was worth a try.

"No," he replied bitterly," I saw it with my own two eyes. It was Her alright. I just can't believe she cheated on me."

Our noodles came and he dug in savagely.

I smiled at him, despite all his understanding of relationships; he was still like a little child inside.

The topic was put aside as we ate our noodles. I didn't give it much thought after that. I know he wants to forget the fact that Tomoyo cheated on him and start a new beginning but I doubt he'll confront her and break up with her. Tomoyo was after all one of the most wanted girls in our school and to throw away a piece of treasure like her just means signing your death warrant. The minute you break up with her is the minute your life turns into hell.
