How she had gotten here, she did not know. How she was so blind, she did not know. Why she did not listen to everyone, she could only call herself stupid. And now, sitting on the bathroom floor, tears falling down her face and the yells and bangs on the door she could only call herself one thing.
Stupid.
Everyone had told her that something was up; that she should be careful, not let herself be so vulnerable, yet she did not listen to them.
Why?
She was in love.
She just wanted to give him a chance, one that nobody else was going to give him.
"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!"
More tears.
Another bang on the door shakes her body that is propped up against it.
"Please stop…" her voice is beyond holding any type of strength in it, too much had happened.
They had been together for nearly seven months, taking care of each other. Seven happy months together, their relationship could outlast everything. That is what she would tell herself. That no matter what, she would not let what the villagers said get to her. They were just so jealous. She would say in her mind over and over again. They just need time to get used to him. She hoped and prayed silently that what she would tell herself was true.
She needed her words to be true.
But, sadly, her love was not as he said.
Two weeks prior.
"Sasuke-kun!"
The said man turned around, narrowed his eyes for a second then relaxed and opened his arms. The owner of the voice ran to him, jumping in his arms she kissed him full on the lips, noting the strong tastes of breath mints and toothpaste.
She smiled at him, holding him closer to her person and felt the wandering hands of his massage her back.
"Where have you been? I went to the training grounds but you weren't there, I thought we were going to train today." Her voice was laced with worry, the thought of what a passing villager reminding her of whom she was with.
"Poor girl, doesn't know of all the things he does behind her back…""Baby, I thought I told you I was going to sleep in today." His voice was so calm and collected that if she had no thought of what the villagers had said, she would not notice that strange scent of air freshener in his house to be an off occurrence.
As she thought, both trying to deny what was being said about him and trying to tie together to find the truth in it all, she felt the hot tongue of his snake its way down her neck, his hands rubbing her rear.
"Mmm.." how long had it been since the last time he had taken her?
A day, and hour, she could not differentiate all of the times that he had taken her. Sasuke was like an insatiable animal, crazed with uncontrolled lust. The things he had done to her, where he had done them. In a closet at the hospital, her office, in the alley, so many places that were so familiar with what was spoken about him and others that it had scared her.
"I heard he was out again, some blonde girl from Rain. They were behind the alcohol store, he was having his way with her as if he never knew Sakura…poor girl won't believe anyone when they try to tell her though…"
Inside of Sasuke's kitchen, somehow he had already gotten her shirt off and was hurriedly working on her panties from under her skirt. She could feel the arousal of his pressing into her stomach as he kissed and sucked on her neck.
"Did you see him too, walking around the park with those dazed eyes? He even stumbled and fell to the ground! Why does such a smart girl like her not see what he is doing?"
When the two of them had gotten to his bed, she did not have a clue. The lustful aura that he emitted and the sinful touches of his always had a way of clouding her judgment and letting her forget things.
She felt the bed shift, and out of the corner of her eyes she saw her beloved boyfriend of seven months standing up. His bare body walked over to the bathroom door and walked in, seconds later the sound of the shower running hit her ears.
Sakura sighed, standing up and putting on one of her nightgowns, the twenty-year-old walked down the stairs.
As she entered the kitchen she bee-lined to the trash can. If she was right-along with the villagers-there would be a beer bottle or bottle of some alcohol in the trash. But, she hoped and prayed that she was wrong and that there would be no bottle in the trash.
Shuffling quietly through the trash can she felt hope fill her as she did not see any trace of an alcohol bottle. But alas the scent of air freshener hit her along with the mixed scent of shampoo?
"What are you doing?" she could sense the foreboding aura around him and the tone of irritation in his voice.
She turned around to see him clad in a wife beater and boxers, his eyes narrowed at her in accusation.
"Well you see I was umm," why did he have to look at her like that, the way that made her shiver in fear and slow her breathing?
"Well?" she could already sense the impatience.
"I think I might have well lost some medical papers, you know the ones I was working on a couple of days ago and well I thought.." she could not even finish.
"In the study."
"Okay."
He looked at her, then to the trash on the ground and silently told her to put the garbage away, turning his back she to turned back to the trashcan, only to see…
A bottle of vodka.
A gasp escaped her lips, and apparently it had been loud enough to startle Sasuke for he ran back into the kitchen and asked, "What happened?"
He asked her again, but all she did was lean down, pick up the bottle and turn to him with tear-filled eyes. He looked at her, eyes wide and hands slightly trembling. She looked from the bottle to him, and back again the pieces putting themselves together in her mind.
"Sasuke?" her voice was so small and quivering that she herself did not recognize it.
He looked down away from her, to her this was a sign of guilt and she assumed the worst.
"So all of those rumors are true? You have lied to me, cheated on me?" her voice was uncontrolled and rose as she spoke to him.
He stood there, silent for a moment and Sakura was assured that he had indeed lied and cheated on her whilst being drunk, but he spoke to her and calmly walked over to her.
"The bottle, while you were gone I drank it because I feel, I have felt so much pressure lately and I needed to unwind." He looked her in the eyes, yet she could not decipher if he was lying or not.
"What about…?"
"Those rumors are not true, I assure you. I only drink when I need to and that is a rare occurrence. I just did not want to alarm you so I hid the bottle. Please Sakura, don't you believe me?"
She looked him in the eye, and walked into his arms, letting him hold her. She inhaled his fresh scent and then realized that she had not showered yet. But, another thought struck her, what was pressuring him, so she asked him that.
"I, I feel that the council of elders want me to hurry up and repopulate the Uchiha clan y'know? There is so much I have to do on my own, I am only 20, it is just getting hard for me to do all of it knowing what is placed on my shoulders."
Sakura smiled, accepting his answer and kissed him, letting all of her trust flow freely into him and forgetting to look back in the trash can, where she would have seen six other bottles of alcohol…
"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR YOU BITCH!"
Her tears clouded her vision; pain raked her body as everything that had happened hit her. His lies, his betrayal, his anger…all of it was starting to take a toll on her. How could someone whom she loved and trusted with all of her heart do this to her?
BANG!
The door shook with the force from his blows, her body that was propped up against it shifting painfully just to hold it closed. She did not believe it could happen, she would have never thought that…
BANG! BANG!
"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!"
She would fear him in such a way.
That she would fear that he would actually kill her, that he would take her life. She just could not believe it, but then again, she could not, would not believe that he was doing those terrible things behind her back and acting if they were nothing.
What this the same man that she fell in love with?
No, she thought, that man would never do this to me…
CRACK!
"no…please…"
Her fear rose as the door behind her cracked, and Sasuke hit it once more with him strength.
The door cracked louder this time, and she could smell the strong scent of alcohol coming from her love. Tears fell even faster, all of the strength that she held was lost. Looking into the mirror and seeing her crumpled form on the ground and all of her tears she could only ask as the door cracked and his hand reached for the lock…
"What have we become?"
