Decisions
Chap. 1 The Ocean's Gaze
Out stood a girl of around 17 years of age, in the freezing rain, looking out at the view before her. She only felt at peace when a sea of blue stretched out before her and she was glad that she lived in a place where the sea and earth mixed and formed.
Sakura Haruno was a normal girl. At least, that's what she hoped that she was recognized as. But it was hard to be normal with pink hair. Everyone else had black or brown hair that helped them to fit in, but she was stuck with pink!
She loved her pink hair and her mother had always said that she should just be herself. But it was hard being yourself when no one will get to know you! They all just followed the popular crowd. Especially one Sasuke Uchiha. He had called her out the first day of school, finding her pink hair funny and with that started the whole school's mockery of her and her precious life.
She still had a couple of friends. Ino was a girl that every guy wanted. She showed herself off just for the fun of it. But she was with Shikamaru right now. In fact, she had been with him for around 2 months now, taking all summer away to be with him and his family in the woods camping. There was always Hinata. But she too had decided to leave Sakura's side to go spend the summer in Europe on a school trip. If you could really call it that. More like a way to be with her boyfriend Kiba without her parents getting in the way. She had others here and there, but with her reputation, they steered clear of her after hearing about the Uchiha and his 'playful' and 'harmless' fun. A small tear made its way down her face, and slipped off travelling down to the sea below.
She didn't care what they all thought. She didn't care that everyone steered clear of her. She didn't mind not having a boyfriend. She didn't want to live her life in happiness.
OH GOD! SHE WANTED ALL THAT AND MORE!
She wanted them to know her, to have friends caring enough to spend just enough time with her and realize that she was a person. She wanted a boyfriend who would care for her and was warm towards her and hold her till the ends of time. She wanted a life of happiness filled with a beautiful sunset and the sound of waves across the ocean. What was she to do?
She looked out to the sea before her. A cliff dive was all it would take to end this miserable life. Would there be any pain? Yes. That much was certain. But she had felt pain since her mother died and she had to live on her own. She did not fear pain. Time seemed to slow as she raised her foot and placed it in front of her slender and beautiful body.
Three steps to go.
Would she miss her friends? Oh god, yes! But they weren't here right now. Ino would be at her house the next day, so this would be her only chance. Her feet took another step forward.
Two steps to go.
Her life was miserable! No one cared. If they did, they'd be here now, stopping her from causing a death of her own mind's creation. If only there was such a person. One to stop her body from following her darkening mind. Her foot came to rest on the edge.
One step to go.
Sakura kept her eyes ahead at the sight which had held her, protected her, and kept her sane. She needed more of it, needed it to come alive and stop her.
She sighed, closed her eyes and took the final step.
Well, that's it for my first chapter. Don't worry, more chapters are soon to come. For this entire story, i will say it once, and only once. I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sakura and naruto would get together and Sasuke would be dead.
