Recap from previous chapter:
Sakura mindlessly doodled onto the phone book she was supposed to use to call for flowers for the funeral.
She sighed yet again, and set her mind to work.
Chapter 5:
Sakura groaned as her alarm clock blared out a song, waking her up from her sleep.
The sun shone brightly through the windows, but Sakura threw her blankets over her head, and snuggled even deeper into the bed.
A knocking was heard on Sakura’s door.
"What do you want?" asked Sakura dully.
"Rise and shine!" replied Tomoyo, brightly, as she walked over to Sakura.
Sakura rolled her eyes, "I don't want to."
Tomoyo sighed, "Aww, come on! You know what today is?"
Sakura said in a sad voice, "Yeah, it's the funeral."
Tomoyo threw off the covers from the bed.
She and Sakura exchanged a hug, and Tomoyo said, "It’ll be okay.”
Sakura smiled a tearful smile.
"Yeah, I should make the best of it."
Tomoyo smiled, "That's my girl! Now come on! Eriol is trying to make breakfast!"
Tomoyo leapt off of the bed and ran out the door.
Sakura was left alone, slowly putting on her clothes.
"Why did you leave me, Torri?" she asked in a silent whisper.
Sakura put on a cheerful face as she went downstairs. She was living in Tomoyo's house for the time being, and was staying in the guess room.
She peered inside the kitchen doorway, only to find Tomoyo in a passionate embrace with Eriol.
Blushing, Sakura averted her eyes, and looked away.
She quietly slipped away, outside of Tomoyo and Eriol's mansion.
"I need some time to think."
Tomoyo broke off Eriol's kiss and scolded him.
"Eriol! What if Sakura saw that?"
Eriol pouted and said, "I know, but I couldn't help it when I saw how beautiful you looked!"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes.
"By the way, where is Sakura?" she muttered.
She went up the stairs, and came back one-hour later in tears.
"I can't find her!" Tomoyo desperately cried.
Eriol ran to Tomoyo, and enveloped her in a hug.
"You mean Sakura's not here?” asked Eriol gently.
Tomoyo nodded.
Eriol sighed, "She probably went for a walk. She needs to sort out her mind. Since today is Torri's funeral and all, she's probably just sad."
Tomoyo sighed also.
"Okay, I suppose so."
Eriol lifted up Tomoyo's chin.
"You can't always be there for Sakura, you know."
Tomoyo shrugged, “I can and I will!” she stubbornly replied.
Eriol chuckled, and resumed his task of making breakfast.
Sakura was strolling around the park, trying to get calm herself down.
Flashback:
Sakura was waiting in front of Tokyo's park, waiting for Torri to arrive.
"Where is he?" she thought.
Shivering in the cold, Sakura looked around.
"He told me to come at precisely seven o'clock P.M.! Was this all a joke?" she thought.
Sakura suddenly realized that the park seemed much quieter than it was before.
Where were all the people?
Usually there was a couple of hot dog stands, or people walking their dogs. But today, there was a dead silence in the park.
Sakura sat down on a bench in front of the statue of a horse.
"Is he standing me up?" she thought.
Sakura looked at her watch. It was already fifteen minutes past seven, and not one sign of Torri indicated that he was going to arrive.
Just when she was about to leave, a trumpet suddenly sounded in the air.
"What the?" asked Sakura.
She looked behind her, and there was Torri, dressed in a tuxedo, grinning broadly.
"Not thinking of leaving are you?" he asked.
Sakura grinned, all thoughts of waiting erased from her mind, as she threw a hug around her one-year boyfriend.
"Torri!" she squealed.
Torri laughed, and said, "Hey! Sorry I was late!"
Sakura rolled her eyes.
"It's okay."
"What did you think of the music?" he asked.
Sakura frowned.
"It scared me!" she declared.
Torri laughed, and touched her delicately on her nose.
"You get scared of everything!"
Sakura rolled her eyes, and walked back to the bench she was sitting on.
She sat down and huffed, "Nothing you say will make it up to me," as she looked to the left of Torri.
Torri walked slowly towards Sakura.
"Nothing?" Torri asked.
Sakura stood up and confirmed, "Nothing!"
She suddenly found his mouth on hers and she couldn't help but forgive him.
Then, to her utter amazement, Torri knelt on the ground before her.
Sakura laughed, "What are you doing?" she asked.
Torri looked up into her emerald green eyes.
He took her hands in his, and said, "Sakura, in the whole year that I have know you, you have made me feel like the happiest man alive. I love you with all my heart, and I can't imagine life without you. We may have had some hardships in life, but we have always over come them. Will you marry me and make me an even happier man than I was before?”
Sakura, with tears running down her face, nodded.
"Yes, Torri, I will!” she exclaimed.
Torri stood up, and kissed her, sealing their vow to one another.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you, too," replied Sakura.
End Flashback
Sakura sat at the bench where she was proposed to and suddenly, she remembered the funeral.
She checked her watch, and saw it was ten o’clock already.
The funeral would begin at one.
Sakura hurriedly got up and ran to Tomoyo's house.
"Oh, dear! I hope they aren't looking for me!" she thought to herself.
