Epilogue
One Year Later
Syaoran sat in the park, amazed that no fans were following him around. He felt something prodding at his leg and looked down to see a dog nuzzling him.
"Sorry," he heard a voice say. "He does that sometimes."
Syaoran felt his breath catch and his heart started racing. That voice sounded a lot like-
"Sakura?" He cursed himself as the name left his mouth. He hadn't spoken of her since that day, and there was no way this woman could be Sakura. Sakura was dead. The harsh reality of the words still made him cringe to this day. He wished he had made it in time that day, and the regret was constantly nagging him.
"How do you know my name?" the woman asked cautiously.
Syaoran glanced up at the young lady. She was wearing big sunglasses and carried a cane. He looked back and forth between the woman and the dog and suddenly, it clicked. The woman was blind.
Instinctively, he reached up and pulled the sunglasses off her face. She recoiled in fear. "What are you doing?" she asked nervously.
He did reply, but stared, transfixed. The woman had milky green eyes. It was Sakura.
"Sakura! It's me, Syaoran!" He couldn't explain the happiness he felt as he discovered she was alive.
"Syaoran? No, you're lying!"
He tentatively pulled her into a hug and at once, Sakura knew it was him. No other body would she fit so perfectly with.
She pulled away and tugged at her dog's leash. "It was nice meeting you again," she said, her tone dismissive.
Syaoran looked on in confusion. Why didn't she return if she was alive? Did she…not want to see him?
"Wait!" he called. He quickly ran up to her, which was hard, considering she moved at a slow pace.
"Sakura?"
"…"
"Why are you running away from me?"
"…"
"Why didn't you come back?"
"Come back? Why would I go back to someone who didn't care about me?" Sakura shouted.
"…someone who didn't care about me." Her words hit him, cold and sharp. Why would she think…?
"I thought you would come that day," said Sakura breathlessly. "I waited for you, but you never came. Then I was in the hospital. I thought you would come visit me, even if I couldn't see you. But you never came… The day I left the hospital, you weren't even there!"
Syaoran felt his heart constrict as he looked at the helpless young woman in front of him. "I'm so sorry, Sakura. I thought you were…dead… I couldn't face seeing…"
"Just because I had pieces of glass lodged in my eye doesn't make me dead!"
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry," he pleaded. Sakura fell forward and he quickly caught her, holding her close. It felt so good to have her in his arms again…
"I love you," he murmured, stroking her hair.
"I love you too," she said.
"Come back to me," he whispered.
Once again, she pulled away. "I can't."
"Why not?" he demanded, crazy thoughts running through his head. Maybe she had someone else now. The horror choked him.
"I'm blind. I would burden you."
He pulled her close again. "Never. I don't care, as long as I have you."
This time, she let herself submit to him. She knew it was no use to fight him when her heart and soul wanted him so much. She smiled up at him.
"This time around, the relationship better be real."
Okay, that was horrible. Sorry I couldn't think of anything else.
