I knew it was no longer going to be the same when I answered the call. The beep of the phone was later heard when the woman hung up. I just stared blankly at the white wall of my room but snap out of my thoughts when the phone slipped through my fingers and crashed on the floor.
It was over now. My life was over. And the last thing I remember was that my best friend Sasuke Uchiha had come over with my favorite ice-cream and two spoons. I buried my face on his well-built chest but the tears just couldn't go out. He didn't say a thing thou. He just stroked my long and light pink strands of hair tenderly with his soft fingers and then kissed my forehead.
I didn't go to school for a week. A part of me had been taken away and wasn't ever going to return back. Sasuke would come to my house every day, explain me what had been done at school and also help me with my homework. I would barely see my mom at home and be alone most of the time.
When I finally decided to go back to classes, my friends Ino and Hinata welcomed me with a warm hug and my other classmates with comforting smiles. But the worst thing is that I couldn't even smile back to them.
None of them noticed that it had just been a fake smile to make them feel better but I was wrong. Sasuke did notice it and didn't say a thing until we arrived to my home.
"Why do you do that?" he asked and stared into my eyes with a lot of concern in them.
"What do you mean?" I asked back, trying not to meet his glaze and looking to the other side.
"You know exactly what I mean Sakura…" he reproached. I sighed in defeat and opened my room's door slowly, almost like I didn't want to do that.
"I- I just don't know… I can't smile the same way I used to…"
"It's because of your dad, right?" I slightly nodded and he just wrapped his arms around my back, making me rest my head on his shoulder thou I still had to stand on my tiptoes to do that. "I know he was a really precious person to you Sak but… Do you think that he wanted to see you like this?"
And that's when it hit me. I was just being selfish. And not only to my dad but also Sasuke and my friends, even my mom. Little tears began to fall down through my cheeks and soaked my best friend shirt.
"I'm sorry…" I sobbed and cried even harder.
"What are you apologizing for cherries?" he asked me, muttering in my ear.
"For being so damn selfish!" I exclaimed staring at him in the eyes.
He let out a little chuckle and shuffled my hair. "Sometimes I don't understand you…"
