Author's Note: On 2/15/2018, All That's Left was edited to fix the many, many spelling errors. My story has been up for 12 years! I can hardly believe it. I have changed so much since I was 17, and this story, among my others, is a great reminder of how far I have come. I am strongly debating if I want to re-write this story now, as I have more experience under my belt. Perhaps if I do, I will make it a new chapter to this.
Playground school bells ring again
Rain clouds come to play, again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hell I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to
Hello
Syaoran walked across the road. Thankfully, it was about midnight and hardly any cars were out. He started walking by an empty High School.
He stopped right outside the locked gates. He heard a bell ring off into the distance. Rain clouds began to roll in. His eyes grew dark and clouded with pain as a painful memory took hold of was back in his high school body, standing next to his girlfriend, and his only love, Sakura Kinomoto. His arms were wrapped around her and she was laughing at his joke. They were heading back to Sakura' house from prom. Syaoran pulled out of the parking lot and drove out onto the main road.
" Did you enjoy yourself?" Sakura asked, looking at him.
" Other than watching you dance with Kyo, yes." He answered.
" Don't tell me you were jealous?" She asked. He didn't answer, which was an answer all in itself. " Syaoran, you've no right to be jealous, you know I love you and would never leave you!"
He sighed." Yeah, I know. I couldn't help it. The way he held you-arg!" He couldn't explain it. " I guess I love you more than I thought." He said grinning at her.
" Awe Syaoran-" Her next sentence was never completed as she started screaming.
Syaoran didn't remember the crash, he just knew the after effects of it.
He woke up in the hospital hours, maybe days later. His doctor and family were all around him.
" Where's-Sakura?" He croaked out. She was the only thing he could think about. His mother and sisters' tried to hold back their tears but failed.
" I'm sorry, Sakura Kinomoto didn't survive the crash. She died before help could arrive." The doctor explained.
A silent rage went through him. He hurt to much to take his rage out on someone. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into the preys of sleep.
"Saku, I still miss you." He said. ' How can you miss what you refuse to let go?' Her voice sounded through his mind.
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I'll know I'll awake from this dream
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken.
Hello
I'm the lie living so you can hide.
Don't cry...
Syaoran shook his head. He hated days like these. Days when all he could think about was her. He banged his head against the gates, just as a homeless man walked by.
" Are you alright sonny?" The homeless man asked. Syaoran tried to make at least a small smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.
" Is there anything I can help you with?" The man asked. Syaoran shook his head. As the man walked away, his memory took hold of him again.
" How?" Syaoran asked the doctors about Sakura's death.
" She broke every bone in her body." One of the nurses answered.
Syaoran blocked out the memory before it could go on. 'It's ok Syaoran. Don't cling to the past. Stop trying to fix me, I'm no longer broken.' Her voice rushed through his mind.' Just let me go.'
Syaoran fell to the floor, tears heavily falling. ' Don't cry, my love. We will see each other again someday.'
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
Hello
Syaoran blinked. He looked all around him. He was in his car, driving too fast, heading straight over the cliff. Right were the crash that took Sakura's life happened. He didn't remember getting into the car.
He closed his eyes as the car flew off the cliff. This time, he would die. He already knew that. When the car hit the ground, Syaoran's body crashed through the window, the car exploded.
'Syaoran!' Sakura's spirit ran to meet Syaoran's. ' We're finally together again.' She threw her arms around Syaoran. He hugged her back, tightly.
' I love you so much Sakura.' He whispered as their souls lifted up to the heavens.
