Love contract.
Okay, so I've had this idea of writing again ever since my summer vacation starts but I just didn't have enough time to. Maybe it's the packing. But an idea struck and I finally decided to write. Characters may be OOC. Besides that, I hope you guys like it! x)
No credits for some of the ideas I took by watching a lot of dramas. I Do Not own Naruto and this is only a fan writing a story in her mind.

Sakura looked at the time, and started moving around anxiously. Her best friend should have been here by now.
'Where the hell is she?? She better have a good excuse for this one.' She said to herself.
Not long after that, she heard a honk outside and peeked from her curtain window.
"About time..." she took her bag, her keys and her mobile.
Taking less than 5 minutes to make sure every part of her house is locked; she walks quickly towards her best friend's car, with a frustrated frown on her face.
"What took you so long?" she asked.
"Sorry Sakura, there was traffic. And you know what happen when I sleep late right?" Tenten pleads with a sorry expression.
Tenten was an architect. She has been very successful except for the fact that she would sometimes look exhausted from all her plans she does.
"I thought I told you, this was important" she said, still with a dissatisfied look.
"I very well know that. But I had to stay up last night. I would have got tons of work to do if I hadn't. You know what it's like being in my place don't you?"
Sakura's frown decreased as she thought of what Tenten just explained. She has some problems in her house. Though she might always look strong, but it's only a show for not being taken advantage of. She knew very well that her parents are going through a rough time right now, and it affect Tenten's life too.
"I've been telling you to move in my house. Haven't I?" Sakura questioned.
Sakura questioned herself sometimes of how a successful girl like Tenten still lives with her parent. She wouldn't ask though. Not at the moment.
"Yeah, I know that. And I'll do that as soon as possible. Maybe giving my parents some time to settle their problems is the best thing to do right now…" Her voice had an edgy tone at her last line.
Sakura knew it was a sad topic to talk about early in the morning so she changes it to something else.
"Thanks…" Tenten muttered before she starts.
"You know that you're always welcome…." She answered. "So anyway, I heard there's this new sale going on right? And you told me you might need some new outfit? We could go after I finish my stuffs with the loan manager." Sakura smiled.
Tenten's quiet face suddenly had a gleam of excitement once she heard the "shop" word. Sakura wasn't really the type that would shop a lot but she knew her best friend would. And that's exactly what they're gonna be doing in the afternoon.

"Heeey! Did you get the loan? 'Cus I have great ne---" Tenten's voice cut off when she saw Sakura's disappointed face.
"Hey, what's wrong??" A concerned look, though she knows exactly what was wrong; Sakura didn't get it. As soon as Sakura was near enough, she threw her arms at her and comforted her.
"Shhh, it's gonna be okay… You'll get it soon. Don't give up now…" was all she could say when she saw Sakura tearing up.
"It-it's been a-a lot of times already," Sakura stuttered while crying. "All of them re-rejected it. And-and I can't do anything."
"Hey. We'll find a solution right?"
Sakura couldn't say anything else but continue crying.

'Take care of the restaurant for me and your father. It's all what's left of us for you, Sakura'
Those words keep ringing in Sakura's head. Those were the last words from her mother, after the accident that killed both of them afterwards.
Without realization, tears fell again.
She shook it off.
The afternoon plan with Tenten was cancelled (obviously). Although Sakura was fine but Tenten insisted on making it a few days later. She smiled as Tenten's comforting words and her kind smile showed up in her mind.
She had stayed at her house since the afternoon and been searching for other sources of help she could get to save her family's restaurant. Either that or the restaurant is closing down.
She frowned as she heard her stomach grumbled, showing signs that she hadn't eat anything since she got home. Sakura decided to find something in the kitchen, cook something and watch TV to keep her mind off.
It didn't take long for her to cook. She was an excellent cook, besides the clear fact that both her parents were… Sakura had always had troubles with finding enough loans so that she could continue the hard work of her late parents. She was an outstanding chef in a hotel, but apparently she had to take leave for awhile. Finding loan isn't easy these days. Especially with the entire loan manger she'd met; they don't have any feelings towards the needs of others like her.
Sakura hated those types of people. She could accept the fact that some may take advantage of the loan and may not pay back later but she wasn't that kind of girl. She invested almost all of her money for the restaurant and now, she only need a little bit more so that it would work. But she had always been rejected and for all the same reason.
Sakura sighed after a moment and after cleaning everything up, she decided to search for other help from the internet and maybe later, take a good night sleep, if that was possible.
