Summary : Sakura, thirteen, pretty and smart meets Syaoran, fourteen, charming and athletic. Love entwines them together, but not for long. One year and a few months later, Sakura is left heart-broken and Syaoran, lying. Three years later, Sakura meets Syaoran again, still broken-hearted. Lying to her? Easy. Mending her heart? Impossible.

Y'see, my lappie (laptop) broke down a month earlier (all my files, downloaded programs and all were gone in the process), so my dad sent it to a computer shop to repair it.

I know what you're thinking; 'Why the heck didn't she save the files on a back up disk!?'; well, Idon't have a back up disk!

Chapter three
Sakura forced a smile onto her face as the nurse escorted her out of the hospital. She was walking now; wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans that she got as a gift. Once she got out of the hospital, she breathed in the fresh air as tears glistened at the end of her eyes.
Sakura thanked the nurse and promised to come back to pay the hospital fee as soon as she got the money. As she was walking along the streets, she shook the bottle of medicine that she got from the doctor; smiling fondly as she remembered the doctor's concerned look. At least someone cares about me; aside from my neighbours, of course!
Sakura's expression immediately changed from a smile to a frown as she stopped to look at an accident in front of her. Sirens echoed in the distance that was between her and the accident. She watched the scene in horror as tears began to run down her cheeks. She tried to rub them away with her hands.
'SAKURA, NO!'
Sakura's hands dropped to her side as her eyes widened in shock at the flash of memory.
'DAD, LOOK OUT!'
No, no! I can't remember it! I won't allow myself to! Sakura broke off into a sprint, running wherever her feet took her. She couldn't look at the accident anymore; it brought back too many memories of her family. Tears fell freely as she ran; trying to get away from that place.
Sakura; remembering not to over-exhaust her body; stopped in her tracks. She was panting heavily; trying to catch her breath; hands on her knees.

A song? Sakura thought to herself as she followed the music that eventually led to the local library. Eh? Sakura asked confusedly in her mind. She knocked on the door; but the only reply she got was the piano keys played. She opened the door out of curiosity.

"Ano, i-is anybody there?", Sakura asked aloud as she walked through the various bookshelves; searching for the hidden pianist slash singer.
She walked and walked, searching for it. Finally, she stumbled across one room and stood behind one bookshelf; peeking to see who was playing the piano. She gasped as she saw her own mother playing it. Thi-This must be a dream! Sakura thought frantically.
"O-Okaa-san?" Sakura asked meekly as she stood across the piano. However, the woman continuously played the piano and sang, as if she never even heard Sakura.

Sakura let out an audible gasp as her mind recalled distant memories that she pushed away for years; a memory that brought tears to her eyes.T-This song is… Sakura thought before the memory took over her mind.

Flashback
I beamed happily as my father drove the car; with my mother beside him and my brother beside me. We were heading to a restaurant that I chose to go for my eleventh birthday. I turned to look at my brother; he was looking out of the window. Hm…I thought, but I shrugged my shoulders and faced my mother and father. They were… panicking?
My eyes widened as I toppled over in the car; my elbows scraping the car's interiors. Ittai…I thought painfully as I tried to rub away the pain with my hands.
"DAD, LOOK OUT!" My brother, Touya, shouted warningly as my head jerked to the direction of my father; he was driving uncontrollably, turning the steering wheel again and again; trying to regain the control of the car.
Screams engulfed the whole of the car; even I was screaming with tears spilling out of my eyes. I can't die… Please, Kami-sama, let me live! I thought foolishly; not even thinking about my family.
"SAKURA, NO! LOOK OUT!" I heard my mother scream to me as I tumbled out of the car unexpectedly. I scraped my knee on the hard cement ground as I landed on it. My eyes never left my family, who were in the car. Tears clouded my eyes as I saw it… Fire erupted from the car as it crashed into a tree; that's when I lost consciousness.

My eyes opened blurrily as I stared up at the dull white hospital ceiling as the dim ceiling light clicked once in awhile. Tears spilled out of my eyes once I remembered the car crash. It was my fault; I was the one who wanted to go out to eat; we should've ate at home, then none of this would've happened. I thought to myself as I sobbed uncontrollably. I hated myself at that moment.
"Kinomoto-san?" A male's voice was heard next to me. I turned my head; hoping that it would be my father, or even my brother. But no such luck; it was just a doctor. I nodded my head; as if to answer him. He sighed warily as I looked at him.
"I-Is my family, okay?" I croaked out as I stared at him with hope in my eyes. He shook his head slowly with a sad look on his face; at that moment, I thought my heart sank to my stomach.

"Gomen nasai, Kinomoto-san; but your family did not survive the car crash," The doctor answered me with a solemn look on his face. I couldn't do anything except cry; so cry I did as I screamed out in pain.
The nurse that was standing by immediately tried to comfort me with a hug; but my tears kept on coming. The doctor exited the room as I kept on crying my heart out.

A tear rolled down my cheek.
