Chapter 6 A Night Out
"WAHHHHHHHH! Why did he have to break up with me? What's wrong me? Did I turn ugly or something?" Meiling sobbed in Tomoyo's arms.
"Oh, you're not ugly. It's ok. You'll find some other guy just as great. He's just one of the bunch. To be honest we weren't really at all that close to him in the first place." Tomoyo gave her friend a pat on the back and gave Eriol a look to save her. Right then The tension was cut by Sakura and Syaoran entering the room. Currently they were in the home that Tomoyo and Eriol shared.
"What wrong with Meilin?" Syaoran asked throwing his car keys on the coffee table. At his voice Meilin picked up her head and ran to her cousin Syaoran and once again sobbed.
"He left me Syaoran, he left me!" Meiling wailed. Syaoran was cut off guard and not knowing what to do the looked toward Tomoyo, Eriol and Sakura. No receiving any help he slowly wrapped his arms around Meiling in comfort. Once again he looked toward the group in help. They one hung their heads and shook it.
"Hey Meilin." Syaoran slowly started to push Meilin away from now wet chest. "How bout I treat us all out to a club. It'll be fun you can get your mind off of…."
"Don't even say his name. No one will ever say his name again. He's dead to me! I deserve this night out!" Meilin's tears were gone now anger replaced her tear stained face. (It's amazing how us girls can have such sudden change in moods…).
For the time being the gang decided to stay at Eriol and Tomoyo's house for a few drinks and a movie. Syaoran is now our wonderful bar tender and Eriol was preparing for the movie. The ladies were getting into their bathing suits….
"And what would you ladies like to drink?" Syaoran asked in a polite voice, mocking a bar tender's job. In turn the girls just laughed and gave Syaoran their orders except for Sakura.
"I don't really know what I want to Syaoran." Sakura shy admitted. She never had a touch of alcohol in her life except for the one time her dad let her try some rum. Syaoran laughed at her innocence.
"Well if you don't want anything alcoholic I can make you something else." Syaoran replied beginning to make the drinks. "Or you can tell me what you want in a drink and I'll try to make something for you."
"I'll try something alcoholic. Um….I want it to be sweet please." Sakura gave Syaoran a sweet innocent smile and bounced into the living room. Syaoran prepared the 5 drinks in Eriol's mini (not so mini) bar. Moments later he was done
"Drinks on!" Syaoran announced to the room. "Long Island Iced Tea for Tomoyo, Devil's Tail for Eriol, Mandarine Mist for Meilin, Pina Colada for Sakura, and a White Russian for me." Everyone took their drinks and got into the indoor hot tub. There was a T.V in the room so they could watch the movie. They sat in the hot tub and sipped at their drinks. They constantly exchanged comments about the movie. Soon the room was filled with laughter and enjoyment.
"So who's driving?" Eriol asked when the gang finished the movie. It was evening now and almost completely dark out.
"Syaoran you up for it?" Meilin asked. No one was really drunk yet but it was just a precaution. They weren't completely irresponsible.
"I don't feel like driving. Lets take the limo." Syaoran replied from the couch. Everyone had already changed from their bathing suits and ready to take the night.
.:Later that night:.
The music boomed into the club when the gang walked into the club. They found an empty booth and put down their stuff. Tomoyo and Eriol were first to leave onto the dance floor. Soon after, Syaoran and Sakura left to the dance floor as well, leaving Meilin in the booth all by herself. Meilin stared out at the dance floor and occasionally sipped on her drink. Her mind began to wonder of what happened. Slowly she began to realize how their relationship wasn't as fired up as she had thought. The thought saddened Meilin more and more.
"Excuse me. Is this seat taken?"
Meilin broke from her daze and realized the presence of the man before her. She at this point was completely dumbfounded and simply nodded her head.
"You're Meilin from school right?"
Meilin looked at him more closely and realized who it was. He was in Syaoran's popular crew. If only she could remember his name…
"You probably don't remember me. I'm Zane."
"Oh, I'm sorry Zane. I probably look like an idiot just sitting her nodding and not answering." Meilin gave him a small embarrassed laugh. She looked at him closer. He had messy dark red hair, brown eyes, and smile that will melt your heart. Zane returned her laugh with his own.
"It's ok. Would you like to dance with me? It must be boring sitting her all alone." Zane stood up and offered his hand. Meilin took his hand and got up as well. The two moved toward the middle of the dance floor. A fast song was playing. Meilin was a greater dancer and just allowed her body to slide along with Zane's. Their bodies flowed to the rhythm of the music. No words were exchanged but the looks they gave each other would make you think they were already a couple.
When Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura returned to the table they were glad that Meilin has finally loosen up and forgetting about her breakup.
"Wow Syaoran I never knew you were such a match maker. You always seemed to me as the person that does care about the feelings of girls." Eriol commented with a playful smirk on his face. Syaoran wrapped his arm around Sakura's tiny waist and pulled her closer.
"You're a moron. Of course I care about the feelings of girls." Syaoran's voice was cold and stiff. "Besides Zane has had her eye on Meilin for a long time. It's just that she was with that bastard. I simply arranged for him to be here. I warned him though. If he breaks her heart, I'll break him." The coldness of his voice scared Sakura a bit. Syaoran felt his girlfriend stiffen up. He gently rubbed her back a little as an affectionate way to calm her down.
"Well, Meilin can be a loose canon sometimes. We can't be blamed for whatever he's gotten himself into." Eriol said coolly.
"Oh Eriol. You talk about Meilin like she's a danger to society. Whatever happens will just happen. It's not going to be ANYONE'S fault if this relationship doesn't work out." Tomoyo said as she moved closer to Eriol embracing his warmth.
"It's really stuffy in here Syaoran." Sakura whispered to Syaoran. "I think I need to get some air. You mind?"
"Sure I don't mind. You go ahead I'll be there in a few minutes." Syaoran got up to allow Sakura to slide out of the booth. Sakura Got her jacket to walked toward the outside of the club. Oddly there wasn't anyone outside the club. One reason being it was late at night or rather, very early in the morning. The wind was brisk but soothing. She pulled her jacket close to her and deeply breathed in the cold night air.
"Sakura…" A melodic but eerie voice broke through the air. Sakura snapped her head around trying to identify the owner of the voice. The voice was so familiar but yet it frighten her. Her eyes landed in mid-air to glowing ghostly figure. Sakura shook her head in disbelief.
"NO! GO AWAY! YOU'RE NOT REAL! LEAVE ME ALONE" Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs. She covered her ears in attempt to block away the voice. "WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sakura saw the ghost's lips move but she couldn't identify the voice. She closed her eyes and told herself what she saw wasn't real.
"Sakura! Leave her alone!" Syaoran's voice broke through. Sakura's eyes instantly snapped open. She saw Syaoran approach her before she blacked out.
