Recap from Chapter 13:
It wasn't Mei-ling's fault, because she didn't know about Torri. But she couldn't help feeling a bit jealous that she was getting married. And to Syaoran!
She decided to walk to Penguin Park, a place that comforted her when she was younger.
Chapter 14:
She sat down on one of the benches, looking up at the dark blue sky, covered with blots of white clouds.
“Where are you Torri?” she asked the sky miserably, a tear running down her cheek.
“You promised that you’d always watch over me. Where are you when I need you?” she asked.
She sighed, and she closed her eyes. Sakura tried to jumble out all the feelings that she felt inside of her.
She loved Torri and she would be his bride on this day if he hadn’t had died.
Then there was Syaoran. Sakura liked him, yes, but he was getting married to Mei-ling? Everything was just too confusing for Sakura. She wanted to scream, to yell.
She just wanted Torri back. She wanted back the good old days where she had nothing to worry about except for Torri’s safety. What had happened to those days? Where had they disappeared to? They just slipped from her fingers, flying away, causing her life to now be complicated and stressful.
When a raindrop fell onto her face, she jumped.
“Drat! It’s raining,” she thought to herself.
Looking down at her clothing, she realized that she was only wearing a t-shirt, a sweater, and jeans.
“I guess I can spare these clothes,” she said.
Not wanting to move, she sat there as the rain washed over her, trying hard to cleanse Sakura’s past and create a better future.
“Sakura?” asked a deep masculine voice.
She was strolling down the sidewalk in Penguin Park, again, and was enjoying the beautiful sunset when she heard a voice.
“Oh, hi, Syaoran.”
He gave her a smile, “What’s up? I haven’t talked to you for a while.”
Sakura nodded, “I’m fine. You?”
Syaoran cleared his throat, “Um, I’m fine too.”
Sakura smiled, “Really ... you never told me you were engaged.”
“I um, didn’t? Well, the truth is, I just found out myself a couple of days ago,” he said.
Sakura shook her head, “And you especially didn’t tell me that you were going to be marrying one of my best friends.”
“What?” he asked.
“Mei-ling is one of my best friends,” said Sakura simply.
“She is?” he asked; his voice seemed to grow hoarse.
“Yeah, she came to visit me yesterday.”
Syaoran nodded, and smiled wanly.
“She asked me to be the maid-of-honor,” said Sakura, going on.
Syaoran rolled his eyes, “How typical of her.”
All of a sudden, his cellular phone rang.
“Um, excuse me...”
“Hello?” he asked, once Sakura was out of earshot.
“Hey man, where are you?” asked a familiar voice.
“David?”
“Yeah, boss wants you here right now. He seems pretty angry.”
“Okay, where are you?” asked Syaoran.
“At my house.”
“I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
“Better make it ten man, or else I’d hate to see you die.”
“Whatever ... later.”
He hung up on David.
“Uh, Sakura?” he asked.
Sakura gave a little jump.
“Oh hey Syaoran, what’s wrong?” she asked, seeing his face.
“Nothing, except that I have to go now. My friend needs to see me for some business problem. I’m really sorry, I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Sakura shrugged, waving her hand, “It’s okay ... I’ll see you soon, hopefully.”
Syaoran nodded, and left.
“So, Syaoran’s getting married ... to Mei-ling,” she thought.
