Authors Note: I would like to upload this story on a regular basis (hopefully). Reviews are what fuels me to write, so if anyone would like something changed or add a thought; feel free to do it! I'd love you to!

Ah, almost forgot a crucial thing here; every chapter has a specific verse from the Lana del Rey 'Born to die' song, as a form of inspiration/theme. The verses do not belong to me, as you already might have guessed. Each chapter will begin with a quote/verse from the song which inspired me to write the content.

Hurtful drops of water cascaded down her pale skin, coat no longer preventing the needle like sensation. Head hung low, shoulders hunched, bangs covering her features. The nature was on her side it seemed, for no one of the passerby's discovered her streaming tears. Arms positioned tightly to each side of her body, lifeless. With every step she took her shoes made this delicate splash sound – the rain was omnipresent.

Haruno Sakura lived now for sixteen full years already, she once believed nothing would be able to break her.

She always refused to think of her life as unpleasant or painful, that was what her parents had taught her; to simply live and to not give up, no matter what hardships would be thrown at her.

When they mobbed her in school – she survived it with pure willpower.

When she got into an accident – she survived through physiotherapy and made up for her absence in school.

When her father died, due to cancer – she decided on becoming a doctor and save as many lives possible.

When she and her mother had financial problems – she started working part time.

When she had problems in understanding a school subject – she sat in the library and studied.

When she and her mother had to move to a cheaper apartment – she became a pillar for her parent.

When her body reached its full capacity – she would adjust it.

Yes Haruno Sakura overcame many obstacles, now however the pink haired female felt like she'd fallen into a dark hole.

She sniffled and wiped her tears away with the already soaked coat.

Her mother died, five hours ago.

Mebuki was returning from work, when suddenly a drunk driver lost control of its car and crushed into a crowd. It was clear they all would die, the woman however proved wrong. Mebuki died shielding a child, the only survivor.

Sakura let out a choked weep, she now had no relatives left. The fifteen years old teen was alone; all on her own, with nobody to rely on.

Sure, she remembered her friends but the memory was not so clear anymore. Since they had to move when she was twelve, Sakura was positive they forgot her altogether.

The female strode through the nightlife of Tokyo with no purpose whatsoever. Sakura had to stay in motion; she had to do at least something. Sitting in her apartment did nothing good to her, it only reminded her more of her dear mother. Walking was the best thing now.

She passed by tons of people, not really caring about the permanent bumping sensation . Sakura did not care what would happen to her at the moment. She was at a loss and needed to grieve.

The pinkette was dangerously near to the edge of the pavement; the streets were filled with speedy cars and it took at least four minutes to cross the busy roads. She was not aware of her surroundings, Sakura's only wish was to walk.

Suddenly she felt a hard push and lost her balance. Everything went in slow motion. Her fall, the beating of her very own heart, adrenaline pumping through her veins, the feeling of sweat gathering on her palms, the wind brushing through her bubblegum colored hair.

Nevertheless, Sakura did not panic. It was disgusting for her to admit it but she was okay with dying. The whole scene was not planned and rather surprising, everything was an accident. Sakura however did not mind at all.

The lights of the speeding up car blended her eyesight, she closed her eyes whispering a silent 'see you soon, mom' and was about to take her last breath when –

Shriek.

Tug.

Crush.

Thump.
