Author's note:Hey everyone! Thank you so much from the bottom of my little heart! I never knew that you would enjoy my story, "Heaven" so much! That is why I worked super fast to write a sequel to this story. Here's the thing...this is starting from the begin...before they got together (For those of you who have read "Heaven", you know what I'm talking about…I don't want to spoil it for those who have not read it yet). So in the beginning there's going to be anguish but please bare with me it will turn out for the better. Some chapters will also have lots of fluff and romance as their relationship grows. Most likely each chapter will be based on a song that best describes the moment.

This chapter is based on Mariah Carey's "Breakdown". Although I don't have the lyrics within the story, please read/ hear the song…it makes a world of a difference. The story goes into detail about what happens after Sasuke leaves and how Sakura takes it…and the one person who pick up her broken heart (Hint, Hint). Please review and let me know what you think. I'll update quickly if I receive a lot of reviews. Thanks again for your reviews...now on with the show!

Chapter 1 "Breakdown"

Sakura's Pov

Darkness

All that I saw was darkness

Immense pain

Like my heart was being ripped right out of my body

Sadness and loneliness seemed to keep me company

And all the while I kept calling out and you didn't hear me

All the while you drifted further and further away…

My eyes fluttered open. Immediately I was blinded by bright sunlight. I used my hand as a shield to block the bright light as I slowly sat up. Just then it hit me as to where I was. I gasped as I looked around. On person came to my mind. Sasuke-kun. Last night he was leaving and I tried to stop him…but he wouldn't hear any of it as he continued to walk off. I was going to scream out for someone to help me stop him, when all of a sudden he appeared behind me. All I heard him say was 'Thank you' and then…darkness. He was gone. No one had to state the obvious for me…I just knew deep down inside that he was gone. My heart was heavy with pain as I sat up and headed back to the village.

The day went by like a blur. Everyone was talking about him and what's worst, since I was the last one to see him, everyone was bombarding me with questions…many of which I couldn't answer…and didn't want to answer. I felt numb all over that day…like I was in a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. Yet all the while I played an act…made it look like I was fine…just so that they could stop asking me the same questions all over again.

I broke away from the crowed of people around me and allowed my legs to carry me wherever it wanted to go. After about 15 minutes, I found myself by the bridge…where as a team we would wait for Kakashi-sensi. I sighed as I looked over the edge and looked down. My eyes became blurry again as I felt hot stings in the back of my eyes. I bit my lower lip as I tried with all of my strength to hold back the tears. As my thoughts started to drift away, I felt someone's presence near by. I turned around and gasped in surprise at whom I saw.

"Kakashi-sensi…what are you doing here?" I asked in a surprised tone of voice.

He stood about 3 feet away in front of me before he walked closer. His back was leaning against the rail as he stood next to me and he looked straight ahead, as he began to speak. "Don't hold it inside. That's the worst thing that you could do. You may not want to talk right now but just know this, when ever you are ready, I'll be here to listen to you." With that, he stood up straight and walked away without looking back.

I stared at him completely dumbfound at what had just happened. My mind was working on overdrive as I tried to think deeply about what he had said. I sighed deeply as I turned around and looked over the bridge, still holding back the tears I refused to shed.

6 months later

I was out with my friends one night. They decided to treat me out to dinner and a movie. Although I really didn't feel like doing anything, after much convincing I allowed them to drag me out of my house. We had just finish watch a movie that I wasn't paying much attention to. Currently they were having a conversation about it while I stared blankly at the food in front of me. Suddenly, a voice broke me away from my thoughts.

"Sakura-chan…why are you so quite?" Naruto asked. I looked up and notice that not only was he looking at me, but so was everyone else. Naruto had a worried look across his face as he looked at me waiting for an answer.

"I'm…I'm fine." I said in a low voice. I forced a smile on my face hopping that everyone would buy it. Luckily, my wish was granted. Naruto had a warm smile across his face as he went back to his conversation with Kiba. Although the smile was on my face and I managed to carry on a couple of conversations, I felt as if I were slowly dying inside. It's been 6 months now and I'm still having a hard time getting over Sasuke-kun. It was the same every night. I'd lock myself in my room and allow my thoughts to drift away. Every night my thought would turn to the last time that I saw him and all of those feeling would flood back. Never once did I allow myself to cry. I should be happy that I was out with my friends. They have all been supportive trying to get my mind away from thoughts of Sasuke-kun. No matter how much they tried…I was still going down hill.

Finally I snapped. I just couldn't be there anymore. I felt as if I were going to scream. "Uh…" I stared in a low voice. All conversations stopped and everyone looked in my direction. I slowly sat up and pushed the chair back under the table. "I have to go right now. Thank you for inviting me out." I felt my mouth open and I heard words come out. However at that moment it was almost as if I were out of my body looking at myself. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. I turned around and left the restaurant barely hearing everyone calling out to me. As soon as I stepped outside, I broke into a run. I wasn't thinking about where I was going, I just ran. I almost broke into tears but I held them back. When I finally stopped I found myself by a cliff. It over looked the ocean below. I look on as the waves crashed to shore in a slow rhythmic motion. It was so…peaceful. Peaceful…I haven't thought of that word in such a long time. Right now my life was anything but peaceful. My dreams were invaded with thoughts of Sasuke-kun leaving me and the times I were awake were even worst. I wanted more then anything to be at peace.

I found myself walking closer and closer to the edge. I knew what I had to do to end this pain forever. The next step would be my final. I took a deep breath in and took the step, but my body didn't move forward…in fact…someone was holding on to me tightly and dragging me away from the edge. I turned my head and looked up…I gasped when I saw that it was Kakashi-sensi.

"What do you think you were doing!" He cried out in anger.

"Please let me go…I need to go…" I shouted in frustration as I struggled to get out from under his strong grip.

"I can't do that…I don't want to. I don't want to lose you Sakura…you're too important to me." Kakashi-sensi said sternly as he spun me around to face him. The look in his eye soften when he looked down at me. I could see a look of sadness in his eye.

"I can't take it any longer…it's killing me inside…thinking about him…wondering if he is ok…if he can't be in my life…then I'm all alone…I hate this loneliness…I want to be at peace I…I haven't felt that in such a long time!" I whispered as I dropped down to my knees. I couldn't hold it back any much longer. I cried harder then I've ever cried before. He had an arm around shoulder as he keeled down next to me. He held on to me tightly and rocked me in his arms as my body shook from uncontrollable tears. I don't know why but being in his arms calmed me down somewhat. My tears slowed down a bit and my breathing returned to an almost normal. "How did you find me?" I whispered as I looked up at him.

For a moment, he was silent as he looked down at me. "I've noticed for a long time…" He began. "You haven't been yourself. You display to the world that all is fine but I know you better and I know how you've always felt about him. So I knew that you weren't alright." He paused before he continued. "Then tonight I saw you running and I decided to follow you…I didn't think that you…" His voice broke off. I could've sworn that he was trying to hold back a sob.

I didn't realize how much I had hurt him just then. I felt more tears swell up behind my eyes. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…" I cried digging my head into his chest. He responded by wrapping his arms tighter around me.

"It's ok…" He said in a soft voice. "Please don't hold in your emotions. If you need someone to talk to, I'll always be there ready to listen to you. I'll always be here to comfort you when you need it. Don't resort to ending your live because of someone else's carelessness. You are not alone. You have friends and a family. You have Naruto and my self. Even if Sasuke is gone, we are still a team…it wouldn't be the same if you were gone Sakura." He pulled himself away from me and stood up. He then reached out a hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me up to a standing position and said, "Let's go back ok. I'll walk you home."

I wiped away the last tears that flowed down my cheeks. For the first time in months, a sincere warm smile lit up my face. When I looked up at him with that smile, I saw a smile of his own outlined under his mask. "Thank you…so much. I truly don't know what I could do to thank you." I said softly as we walked back. The whole time I still held his hand. It was like a security blanket for me. I felt warm and protected.

"What you could do is move on with your life. Live it to the fullest and don't be afraid to confide in someone what you are feeling inside. Bottling your emotions can only lead to troubles in the end." He said seriously.

The smile on my face widen. "I think that is something that I could do." I said.

After about 20 minutes, we made it back to my house. I released my grip from his hand and took a step back. For a moment neither one of us said a word. Then he finally spoke. "Goodnight Sakura. Sleep well." With that, he turned around and walked away. I continued to stand there looking off to where he walked off to. He was long gone but…I couldn't help to have this warm feeling over take me. I just knew that from this moment on…things were going to be ok.
