Teach me to get over this
Chapter I - Lost and Found
"You have to stop bugging me! Stop it! I have my own life and I'm not living up to yours…!"
He threw the phone out the window of his car and furrowed angry. His father thinks he can control his life and he just had enough. He decided that he will not live just to please his father. It was his decision to take the life in his own hands and start a new existence.
The tall, dark-haired man could not take it anymore…He's had enough! It was not fair that his father made him date the girls he choose, thinking about his future…
He always thought that he will find a nice woman and love her with all his heart, and she will do the same and they will live happy ever after but his dad was not conformed with that. He just wanted to make him marry a brainless slut just because she came from a rich family. Just the thought made him sick…
Sasuke, was a very handsome man, you could even call him a lady-killer. He had black hair, and some gorgeous dark eyes that made you melt, a very muscular body and distinct and aristocratic features. He was like a god for the girls and women.
He's had a lot of relationships but was disappointed many times. Some of the women said that it was all from his personality but he could not get the idea in his head as to why his bad personality made them cheat on him….Ok maybe he was a cold person and did not show any feelings but he was a good man and tried to make the women in his life see that but it seems that he failed big time. But he was somehow pleased of himself…21 years old, a good job, a place to live, single at the moment but he wasn't in a hurry so you can say that he had most of the things someone would ask for.
He tried to get the thoughts out of his head and before getting out of the car, he stopped for a second…the rain was still falling and it was a cold evening. He got out of the car and started walking to the door of his apartment building. He liked it here…mostly because it was bought with his own money, a house of his own, one that he worked for. On his way to the door, not looking around because of the heavy rain, he bumped into someone, but more like someone bumped into him. He couldn't say a thing, because of the speed of the stranger, both of them were now on the ground, the other person being on top of him.
Sasuke reached out to push the person away but when he put his hands on the shoulders of the stranger, they felt smooth at his touch and then, he felt something on his hand. It was like silk…hair…The certain person was a woman, and a very beautiful one he might add. She just looked down at him with her beautiful jade eyes and mumbled a 'sorry' on a very…gentle voice. Her hair was a beautiful shade of…pink…that is very…unique. Her eyes were puffy and red on the sides.
'She has been crying' he thought concerned. This is stupid. He can't show concern. You can's stop people on the street to ask them why are they crying.
I pulled myself up and stretched my hand to help her get up. She took my hand and when I pulled her up, she winced and I saw some purple and blue marks on her wrist.
I held on her hand, than I took her other hand and the marks were there too, than, when I looked up to her face, some strings on her neck got my attention. I examined her closer and on her upper leg, I could see some of those strings as well.
"What happened to you?" I asked while looking in her eyes intensely. She was going to cry, I just knew it.
"I am sorry I fell on you sir I just…"she said fearful.
"That is not the answer of my question…am I right miss…?" I asked hoping I could get her name.
"Sa…ku…ra…" she said still scared.
"Well, Sakura, do you mind telling me what happened to you?"
"I don't want to bother you sir, thank you for being nice but…"
"Sasuke."
"What?"
"That is my name, Sasuke …Nice to meet you Sakura…Well, I see you are soaking wet. Would you like to come in before you catch a pneumonia?"
"Oh…well…I…"
"Great. Now let's go."
I pulled her with me until we reached the apartment and I told her to have a seat. She seemed nervous but sat down and looked at me while I handed her a blanket and a towel.
"Why…am I here?"
"What? You don't like it? I know it still smells like paint but I think that is nice."
"Sir…"
"Sasuke. My name isn't sir and I don't think I am much older than you, I am 21. What about you?"
"20"
"See? Not much at all…"
"Ok…so…Sasuke…why am I here?"
"You were wet, cold, crying and hurt…Do I need more reasons to help you? Now…would you like to tell me who made you those marks?"
She covered her neck quickly and gave me a short look.
"My boyfriend."
"Why?"
"Because he thought that I was cheating on him."
"That's not even a reason to break up, much more to beat you!" I said angry." But that's not all he did right?"
She looked at me with shock evident in her eyes. That was all I needed. So it was true. The son of a bitch not only beat her, but also raped her. I think that my face was red and I was tapping impatiently my foot to the floor.
"Did you and him…had…before…"but she cut me off quickly.
"No. We never had before. Not together but…"but she stopped.
"You have to press charges."
"What? No…please….I don't want to…he…just…"
"The son of a bitch raped you and you defend him? Oh…come on…please tell me you won't go back to him at least!"
"I…"
She was actually having a second thought on that? Is she that stupid or she can't think straight right now?
"You won't…" I said, rage burning from every word I spit up. What could this guy had done to her that she is reconsidering on the decision?
"What?" she asked surprised.
"You are not going back to him. If he did that, it means that he doesn't love you and never had. You can't go back and be treated like this anymore!"
"You can't tell me what to do!" she said raising to her feet.
"Do you love him that much?"
"What?"
"Do you love him that much that you would go back after this, and leave me here, when I could love you without asking for a thing?" she was shocked and I could say that I was too because I didn't thought that I would say that out loud.
"Wh…?" our faces were so close, that I could feel her breath on my lips, and in a brief moment, I put my forehead on hers and looked straight into her eyes.
"Tell me. Would you?"
"…" she was struggling to find her words. "You can't just say that, we've just meet. You must have a girlfriend or…"
"I don't… I promise that I would do all for you, anything you want…I just…want you to be there for me."
"Sasuke…please…just don't…"
"Why? Am I not what are you looking for? Do you want me to change for you? I will…just…"
"No, Sasuke, you are wonderful. I couldn't imagine how a person would care so much that he would bring some random girl from the street in his house just to see if she is ok. You are amazing. Handsome, nice, carrying, you have a big heart but…"
"But?"
"I don't think I can stay close to someone, or share my thoughts or feelings with someone. I need…"
"Recovery. I know, but I can help you, and I don't want anything in exchange. I just want you to be here, close to me, so I can help you, and show you what love is capable of. I already started to love you. I have this fulfilling emotion when you are here with me. Just, please, let me help you…" I just wanted her to say yes and I could've made her truly believe it on time. The next thing she said, let me without breath.
"Teach me to get over this, and I will love you forever!"
