Chapter 9 – This Letter

Recap.

Sighing he walked away, hoping that somehow the two days will pass by very fast.

If you want the one you love,

And don't know if she loves you back,

You only need one thing.

Patience.

End of Recap.

Sakura ran her hands through her hair, desperately trying to relieve some stress by tugging on her auburn locks. Tomoyo was right beside her, trying to comfort her, trying to be a good best friend.

"Why, Tomoyo?!" exclaimed the young pretty woman, "Why did I have to turn him down so evilly?" She ran her hands through her hair again, clearly exasperated. Her eyes started filling with tears.

"Its okay, Sakura. It'll be all right. I'm 100 positive he's still in love with you." Tomoyo patted her best friends arm reassuringly, trying to calm down the almost maddened Sakura.

"Noooo, it isn't alright!" Sakura sobbed into her hands freely, and gasped for words, "I was waiting, everyday, for him to call! And then.. and then… I just turned him down… just like that.. when I found out he was seeing someone! I love him Tomoyo.. I love him!"

Tomoyo bit her lip, then asked tentatively, "Is there anything you want me to do, Sakura? Anything you want? At all?"

Sakura shook her head sadly, then started wringing her hands, distraught. She looked up at the girl sitting beside her, and emotions spilled out of her face.

"Oh, Sakura…" Tomoyo hugged her friend tightly and Sakura began to sob uncontrollably on Tomoyo's shoulder.

"Maybe, maybe if he wrote a letter or something.. I could've forgiven him straight away! Why didn't he call again? Why didn't he write some –" Sakura's voice broke off and tears streamed down her face like rivers.

"You do realise you're getting my best shirt completely soaked, right?" Sakura smiled at her best friend's ability to joke and make her feel better even at this point in time. She broke off the hug and smiled at Tomoyo widely.

"Thanks Tomoyo. You're the best friend. Ever."

Smiling, she answered, "I know."

Tomoyo jolted awake to the sound of her alarm, then glanced sleepily at the Mickey Mouse clock after hitting the snooze button a few times. The Mickey & Minnie heads, or the hour and minute hands as they were properly known, were pointing to the 7 and the 6.

'Well that's half past seven on the Mickey Mouse clock!' she thought wryly as she got out of bed, slipping on her robe and bunny slippers on the way out of the door.

She knew today was the day she was meant to meet Syaoran. To help him win back Sakura's heart. Still not knowing who the mysterious girl was, Tomoyo had promised herself to find out as soon as she saw him again. But meanwhile, she had to find a way to get Sakura out of the house by 4pm. Pronto.

Walking drudgingly down the stairs, the lovely aroma of bacon and eggs hit her, causing her to take a deep breath and smile widely. Meiling was standing in front of the pan, frantically trying to flip over the egg. The bacon, only slightly burnt, lay on a plate beside her.

Hearing Tomoyo's footsteps, she lifted up her head and smiled in greeting. "Morning Tomoyo. Did you have a good sleep?"

She received a slight laugh and watched as Tomoyo scoffed down a piece of bacon. "Course I did! Couldn't have been any better. Is Sakura around?" Her voice was muffled, as her mouth was still full of bacon.

Meiling smiled slightly, and chastised Tomoyo, a girl she had very much become to like and enjoy the company of, "Don't talk with your mouth full, dummy, you'll spit it all over me."

Tomoyo quickly swallowed the bacon, and then repeated the question, "Is Sakura around? Or is she still dead asleep in bed?" Leaning against the bench top, she used her fingers to pick up another slice of bacon, only to be batted away firmly by Meiling.

"As far as I'm concerned, she's still dead asleep." She pushed Tomoyo away from the counter and forced her to sit down. "Now, I heard Sakura saying there was this advertising guy that came around 2 days ago…" She glanced slyly at Tomoyo, gesturing for her to tell her the truth.

Bursting out laughing, Tomoyo couldn't help but say, "Gosh, Sakura can be so clueless at times!" Meiling grinned. She knew it was very true.

"So you're going to tell me, then?"

Another sly grin. "Only if you give me some bacon and eggs!" The remark earned a whack over the head, and caused Meiling to laugh out loud.

"I swear, I don't know how you keep so skinny! You eat more than a pig for god's sake!"

Tomoyo crinkled up her nose. "I do not eat more than a pig!!"

"Do so!" retorted Meiling, quickly serving up a plate of bacon and eggs.

"So you want to know who came along 2 days ago?"

Meiling leaned forward, eager to know. She nodded impatiently.

"Well…"

She threw up her hands and laughed. "For gods sake Tomoyo, spit it out!"

"Well…"

Meiling quickly started to draw away the plate of bacon and eggs.

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you!" Tomoyo whacked away Meiling's hands, and hunched over her breakfast protectively, "It was Syaoran."

"Syaoran!?" Her eyes widened. "What was he doing here?"

Tomoyo gave another of her sly grins. "He was asking me to help win Sakura's heart back."

Meiling gasped girlishly, and then started giggling uncontrollably. Unable to help it, Tomoyo soon joined in, and when Sakura came sleepily downstairs, she found both girls rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter.

Sakura looked at Tomoyo, then at Meiling. "What the hell are you guys doing?"

Meiling gasped, and then pulled herself up. "Oh you know, just laughing at some humorous things. By the way, Sakura, do you want to come with me to the mall today?" Somewhere in between their fits of laughter, Tomoyo had managed to inform Meiling that Syaoran was coming at 4pm, and she needed Sakura well and out of the house by then.

Smiling, Sakura agreed immediately.

Yeah baby, I wrote this letter for you.

I hope you don't misunderstand me.

But I have to go…

My philosophy is you and me,

even up my dreams, it is you I see.

The bubble pops, the puzzle incomplete.

can't you see, you was all I needed…

Now I'm sad trying to hold back,

but tears rolling fast with this pain in my past.

Honestly, I feel weak,

it's hard to explain, but you drive me insane.

Sakura stood in front of her wardrobe, her hands on her face and a deep scowl visible on her face. What the hell was she going to wear!? The shirts, skirts, shorts, jeans, tights, hang in front of her, as if mocking her. She silently cursed herself at bringing so many clothes. Closing her eyes, she extended her hands and grabbed the nearest two items of clothing. She then opened her eyes – a floral vintage looking dress and black tights. Perfect. she thought. Silently, she congratulated herself on always buying clothes that matched the rest of her wardrobe.

"Sakura!! Are you ready?" Meiling's voice drifted up the stairs as Sakura scrambled around trying to find the pair of silver flats she had seen only the day before.

"Almost done! Just a moment!!" She shouted back as she yanked the flats out from underneath a pile of other shoes, and quickly put them on, before grabbing her handbag and running downstairs.

Meiling grinned as Sakura appeared at the bottom of the stairwell. "You look gorgeous!" It was the truth. Sakura did look stunningly beautiful. She had slept well so her eyes were bright and shining, her hair was braided and a few curly strands had come out. Sakura had only a put on a little bit of makeup. Not giving Sakura anytime to reply, Meiling immediately began to drag her out the door, quickly glancing at the clock before they disappeared.

3:54pm

Tomoyo paced around the kitchen, glancing at the clock every 20 seconds or so. She knew what to do, what to say, what to suggest when Syaoran came. She glanced at the clock again.

3:55pm

Where the hell is he? She thought furiously. Shouldn't he be arriving early because he wanted Sakura's heart back? Tomoyo's eyes narrowed slightly. Unless.. he doesn't love her anymore? She shook her head annoyingly. Impossible! She had seen his eyes. She had heard his voice. Tomoyo knew Syaoran still loved Sakura dearly. Which reminded her… His name came clearly to her mind. Eriol… She belt a blush creep onto her cheeks, and quickly glanced at the clock again.

3:57pm

Her scowl deepened. Surely Syaoran would be here by now? Tomoyo tried to calm herself. Perhaps he wanted to come later so Sakura wouldn't see him on the way.. Maybe he got caught in a traffic jam! Maybe business was holding him up… Another glance at the clock.

3:58pm

She slumped into the chair and closed her eyes. She could imagine herself dieing of stress waiting for Syaoran! That damned bastard. She could just picture her hair growing white, her teeth falling out… shrinking… Okay, she was seriously going insane now. Keep your mind clear, Tomoyo. For Sakura.. for Sakura…. Her deep breathing managed to calm her down a fraction, and she took another glance at the clock.

3:59pm

Tomoyo's heart rate went up to the sky. She glared at the second hand, as if that would make it go twice as faster. Slowly, it edged itself back to the 12.

4:00pm

She looked up, half expecting the bell to ring. To her surprise, and exactly on cue, it did. Scrambling to the door, she yanked it open and said, "Very on time, Syaoran!!"

He smiled back at her. Secretly, he was hoping that she was actually being serious and didn't know he was out there in his car for the past 30 minutes. He just didn't want to seem to eager… He gestured behind him, indicating Eriol. Somehow, he had convinced Syaoran to take him with her, as soon as he had found out it was the same house Tomoyo lived in. Oh, and that Syaoran was going to see her of course.

Tomoyo was sure that she was as bright red as a tomato when she saw Eriol standing behind Syaoran – looking as naturally gorgeous as anyone could be. But she didn't know Eriol thought the same of her ofcourse.

If Syaoran noticed any sparks that flew between the two, he said nothing and stepped into the hallway. Quickly, he surveyed his cousin's place; the last time he had been here was well over 3 years. Snapping out of her little reverie, Tomoyo quickly told Syaoran to sit in the lounge, and she rushed into the kitchen to get something to drink.

Girl I wrote this letter to let you know forever
I keep you in my heart when I'm leaving you boo.
Girl I wrote this letter, it ain't getting better,
That is why I can't be with you…
P.S. I still love you
My only question, do you miss me when I am gone?
Tell me girl.. tell me

It is reality that you're playing me,
You took my air to breathe.
Cause I was blind to see,
But now I know that I have to go,
Why don't you see, I was all you needed.
Wanna stay but it ain't ok that he is with you,
And it's me who suffers.

Syaoran raised an eyebrow sceptically. "So you want me to write," he mimed writing with pen and paper, "a letter?"

Tomoyo frowned. "It's a good idea." She knew she sounded like an idiot.

"Give me 5 reasons."

Being with the competitive nature she had, Tomoyo started counting off the fingers. "One. You don't have to confront her. She is still really angry at you, you know. She might slap you again," Syaoran's jaw dropped. How does she know!? Seeing the expression on his face, she answered for him. "Sakura told me. Anyway, two. If you confront her face to face, you probably won't even be ab –"

Syaoran interrupted again. "Wait, who said I was going to confront her face to face?"

Tomoyo glared at him defiantly, "Well, what other way are you going to tell her you love her?"

Up until now, Eriol had let Syaoran and Tomoyo do the talking, but he spoke up now. "Syaoran, I think it's quite a good idea." Tomoyo grinned at Eriol widely, then grimaced when she realises what she had just done. Oh my god, I must've looked so retarded!

Syaoran mumbled, clearly quite pissed. "Fine, I'll write a letter. Happy?"

Tomoyo grinned. "Very!"

I was the one that you could always count on, lean on,
but those days are gone.
All we have are memories of better days,
Now I need to say goodbye.
