A/N: Listening to this song happy Ending by Mika and I got the idea stuck in my head and just have to get it out, LOL. Originally I was going to leave it like this where Sasuke and Sakura will not end up together but I'm a sucker for happy ending, so...

This is the way you left me,
I am not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Sakura Haruno forced a smile on her face as helped her best friend Ino into the wedding gown. The bride-to-be was absolutely stunning in her ivory silk and a huge smile on her face. Ino twirled around in circle as she bobbled her shoulders in excitement.

"Can you believe I'm getting married today?" Ino chattered endlessly as she hopped over and hug Sakura.

Sakura reciprocate the gesture as she tried to show some enthusiasm. "Of course I can. You and Mr. Perfect are made for each other."

Ino giggled as she turned to stare at her reflection in the mirror. It was true that she had imagined her wedding day since she dated the Heir to the Uchiha Real Estate, a massive empire that spread across the world. She could still remember the first time they met in college. Sasuke Uchiha was and still is the most beautiful man she had ever encountered. Every girl in the whole school flocked around him trying to get his attention except Sakura.

Then again, Sakura had never met Sasuke and Ino had been reluctant to introduce the two in the first place. Ino had always secretly competed against Sakura. After all, Sakura was the smart one, the cleaver and level headed than her, not to mention more beautiful and exciting to be with. When Sakura left for College in California to follow her dream to be a designer, Ino had stayed behind to try to win affection over Sasuke. It was four long painful year, but she did it. Now here she is, Mrs. Sasuke Uchiha to-be.

Ino knew that Sasuke only dated in to please his parents, but that was when they first got together. Now, even though he did not fully love her yet, she was intent to change that. After all, they were about to be married and Sasuke would not propose if he did not have any feelings toward her. Her parents had been ecstatic, but they had suspected that their daughter's relationship would come to this. It was a match made in heaven. She was the daughter of one of the richest men in the world and Sasuke was the sole heir to a massive empire as well. They belong together.

Sakura tried to staunch the tears that threatened to fall over. Ino had announced the news three weeks before when she banged on the door of her apartment at five in the morning only to shove a seriously huge diamond in Sakura's face followed by a squeal that woke up the entire building.

Sakura was stunned and excited at the same time. She did not even know Ino was dating anyone. After inviting Ino into her apartment and reminiscing what happened over the years they were apart, Ino had finally told her about Sasuke Uchiha. To say that Sakura was shock was an understatement. She was rooted to the spot. First, Ino had flown from New York to California to tell her the news after they had not kept in touch for almost four years. Secondly, Ino announced that she was getting married to Sasuke and ask her to design the wedding gown. Thirdly, Sakura had been having affair with Sasuke for the past two years without knowing he was engaged to her best friend. Worst of all, she was already in love with him.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

"I can't believe you finished the gown in two weeks. Did I tell you how glad I am that you throw away your work to be here with me? You are the bestest of best friend I could ask for!" Ino gushed as her face refused to stop smiling.

"Well, it's not everyday my best friend getting married." Sakura answered dryly as she busied herself by rearranging the train of the gown, keeping her body and mind busy. They had arrived at the church promptly seven in the morning to make sure everything is in place for the event. Reporters were here even earlier trying to catch a glimpse of the bride-to-be before the wedding ceremony.

Saint. Mark Cathedral was a historical landmark in the prominent New York City. The gray cobblestone and the surroundings had transformed into a palace, as everyone get ready for the wedding of the year between two prominent families of New York socialites.

"Don't worry. Someday you will find your own Sasuke and I will be designing your wedding gown. I cannot believe you did not meet him yet. You could have come to dinner last night so I can introduce you to him, but you and Disney movies. I told him so many things about you and he seemed genuinely interested to meet you."

"I doubt it. Besides, in your world, no one can measure up to your

Sasuke." Sakura teased. Oh, she met him briefly this morning and she could have sworn that he looked happy to see her, as if he already knew that she was going to be here.

Ino chattering went on and on as Sakura tuned them out. It was easily enough since alls he had to do was nod and mutter a few words every now and then when Ino stopped to catch her breath.

Sakura had never felt so lonely in her life. As a designer, she has enough work to keep her busy and up until the wee hour of the morning. She should be happy that her best friend is finally marrying the man of her dream. So, what is the awful feeling that was welling up inside of her? She knew the feeling too well.

Jealousy and betrayal.

Sakura felt extremely bad when she realized that everything she said to Ino was a lie. She did not feel happy for Ino, she felt like ripping the gown Ino will be wearing into tiny pieces and most important, she wished that Ino would disappear!

She gasped when her thoughts strayed. She was being a treacherous friend. However, it is something that she cannot control.

She should be furious at Sasuke. He was the bane of her misery. He was the cause of all this. He lied to her straight out. It was the best two years of her life when she was near Sasuke, and everything was a lie, every kiss, every touch, and every word that came out of him. Sakura had never thought of herself as naïve, but at this moment, she did not know what she was: Stupid or naïve for believing him when he told her that he love her.

She had ignored his phone calls, his messages, everything that connected him to her; she had shut herself away from the world, refusing to believe that her once orderly life becomes so screwed up. Ino incessant chatter had almost done her in when she felt that she needed to get out of here as soon as possible.

"I am going to make sure everything is in order. Don't move woman, or I will murder you myself." Sakura teased as she exits the room into a decorated hallway. Closing the door gently but firmly behind her, she let the tears flow out of her eyes.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

"Sakura?" came a soft voice.

Sakura wiped the tears away from her eyes as she looked up to see a startling onyx eyes gazed at her.

"You're not supposed to be here." Sakura whispered shakily as she tried to control herself. Wiping furiously at the tears, she mentally scold herself for letting her emotions get the best of her. She tried to walk away from him, away from the mess she was in.

"Can we talk?" Sasuke asked as he took a step forward to touch her.

Sakura shrank back as if his touch would burn her. "There's nothing to talk about." She replied.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as his he clenched his jaws. "Goddamn it, Sakura!" he crossed and enveloped her in a hug. She fought him hard, clawing her way away from his touch on the outside as she embraced it on the inside.

"Let me go." Sakura protested as she pushed him away from her body. "You're about to get marry to Ino."

Sasuke face contorted angrily as he whipped his head around to look at the hallow hallway before dragging her into one of the empty room and locked the door behind them. He had spent his morning trying to get away from the guests and family just to steal sometimes with Sakura. He would like nothing more to forget everything and drag her to somewhere no one would recognize them and start their lives together as man and wife.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked behind him as she tried to get past him and open the door.

"Can we just talk for a minute?" Sasuke asked gently, his eyes softening painfully.

Sakura took a deep breath and look at him. He was tired. She could see beneath the expensive looking tuxedo, he was not the Sasuke she know and love. The tired bags under his eyes and the grim line on his face were enough to break her heart. She would like nothing more to envelop him in her arms and sooth him that everything is going to be all right, but she refrain herself.

"I'm sorry." Sasuke said softly. "I never meant to hurt you."

"Who said you hurt me?" Sakura snapped angrily as tears well up in her eyes once again. She was never the emotional one, but now she was blubbering like a baby. "For you to hurt me, I have to care about you."

"Sakura, I love you." Sasuke began but Sakura cut him off.

"Don't tell me you love me when you're about to marry another woman." Sakura replied furiously.

"This marriage means nothing to me. I do not love Ino. I love you." Sasuke remarked, trying to make her understand. She was beautiful. He did not think he would see her until after the wedding. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sakura asked as she tried to keep her voice from cracking.

"Because I love you too much to let you go." Sasuke answered quietly.

"You think that by letting me find out this way is going to lessen the pain?" Sakura said with a bitter laugh. "How generous of you."

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Sasuke face contorted into a painful expression. He was selfish. That much he knew, but he refused to let Sakura go. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman, in a wife. He knew that eventually he has to get married to Ino as he had promised to his parents. He had made a deal that for that to happen, they had to let him do whatever he pleases for the next few years.

That was when he first met Sakura. She was a fascinating woman to be with. She excited him with her view towards life, her vivacious manners and her fiery spirits of matching wits with him. She challenged him with his answers and stood up to him on what she believed in. at first, she was just another girl to him but the more time he spent with her the more she pulled him into her world, refusing to release him and he was hooked. He had asked her to be with him, and she agreed. They had made love that night under the gazing stars. It was the happiest day of his life and for the first time, Sasuke felt that things were going his way. The deal he had made with his parents dissolved from his mind completely as he spends more time with Sakura.

What he did not count on was his parent's interference. He called them one night to tell them that he wants out. His father was furious, making multiple threats against him. He did not care as long as he was with Sakura. However, his father was not the one to back down. His threats now directed toward Sakura. He had threatened to hurt her families, to hurt her. Sasuke had no choice but to pack his bags and moved back to full fill his promised. He had left a note for Sakura that he was visiting his sick grandmother and she was so trusting toward him. It wrenched him to think what an awful person he was for doing something like this to the woman he loved.

"I'm glad I found out today." Sakura's voice cut him deep. "I can't believe that I loved you."

"Sakura, I've never stopped loving you, not for a moment." Sasuke tried to explain. "This matter is complicated."

"Complicated?" Sakura barked out a harsh laugh. "How do you think I feel when I found out that I've slept with my best friend's fiancé? Oh right, you were probably laughing your ass off thinking how stupid I was for getting into this situation."

"What do you want me to do, Sakura?" Sasuke asked hopelessly. He felt that every second he spent with her, the more she drifted away from him.

"If I tell you to not marry Ino, would you do it for me?" Sakura asked her tone serious. She ignored her conscience that was nagging at her, telling her how much of a bitch she was at the moment. She was treading on dangerous ground, which she knew. However, she has to know if Sasuke had actually loved her.

Sasuke looked away with shame. "I can't do that."

Sakura blinked back tears. "I see." She bit out after a moment then pushed him aside and walked out the door. Sasuke watched her retreating back with heavy guilt. She had no idea how much he would love to do just that. To abandon everything just to be with her, but he could not, no, would not place her in danger.

"I'm so sorry, Sakura. More than you will ever know." Sasuke whispered as he bent down to pick up the thin chain with a sakura blossoms pendant that he bought for her the year before. He knew that his answer would undoubtedly decide his fate with her when she clutched the necklace in her fist, ready to drop it once he chooses. He would rather loose her than to take chances with her life. That is how much he loves her.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

Sakura stood at the door, waiting for it to open as she held a bouquet in her hand. She could not very well disappear now since she was the maid of honor. After the meeting with Sasuke, it had taken her quite a while to muster up the courage and left the bathroom to go back. She had decided its best that she starts over, preferably somewhere out of states and possibly the country. She had booked her ticket while waiting for the ceremony to begin. Once this is over, she would walk away for good.

The door creaked opened as Sakura took a deep breath and stepped into the plush carpet that covered the church floor. Her smile automatically in place as she placed one foot in front of another and will herself to move forward toward the alter. Her pale lilac satin gown trailed along the carpet floor in a whisper as she stared straight ahead to Sasuke who was immaculately dressed. His piercing gaze never left hers as she moved up to stand on the other side of him. Seconds became hours as they both refused to look away even when everyone else turned their head to gape at the stunning bride walking gaily down the isle in her father's arm. Sakura finally turned to look at Ino as brushed against her briefly and walked to stand next to Sasuke.

The priest along with the rest of the congregation in the church sighed happily as the couple joined together before Christ.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to witness the union between this man and this woman…"

Each word cuts through her heart as she struggled to stay on her feet. She tuned out the exchanged of the vows between the bride and the groom, refusing to listen to anything that would hurt her any further. She tried to think of the life that was growing inside of her, try to direct her thoughts on their future. She did not even react when they priest announced the unison between the two as they kissed for the first time as man and wife.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Sakura stood at the reception room with nothing but resolve as she waited for Ino to come over. She had yet to tell Ino about her abrupt departure. Spotting Ino and her new husband heading toward her, Sakura grimaced. She wanted to get Ino alone to tell her without loosing her dignity all together.

"Hey Sakura, aren't you enjoying the reception?" Ino asked with a huge smile on her face.

"Of course I do. It's the best wedding I've ever attended." Sakura forced the words out of her mouth. "I just want to tell you before I go."

"Go where?" Ino asked confusedly as Sakura felt Sasuke's gaze on her heatedly.

"I got a job offer to be the head of designer at Flore." Sakura said with excitement.

Ino squealed as she hugged Sakura tightly. "Congratulations. I guess dreams do come true." Ino said but her face instantly fell. "But it's all the way in France."

"Hey, I left for college and you survived." Sakura tried to cheer up Ino.

"I know, but you were still in America. Where are you staying?" Ino demanded.

"I'm not sure yet. I am going to fly there today and think about the rest later. Do not worry. I will contact you as soon as I can." Sakura assured.

"You'd better." Ino grumbled as she wiped her teary eyes. "You didn't even get to know Sasuke." Ino tried to joke as she pressed her body closer to Sasuke who looked impassive.

"I'm sure…you'll be happy with him." Sakura lied as she refused to look at Sasuke. Ino giggled before something caught her attention.

"Don't leave yet. I will be right back. Sasuke, keep her here until I get back." Ino demanded as she left his side.

"Don't worry. I planned to." Sasuke murmured as his eyes pinned Sakura on the spot. Sakura bit her lips nervously as she tried to break for the door. Too bad Sasuke took a firm grip on her forearm first and lead her to the dance floor.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love

I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

"What are you doing? I'm going to miss my flight." Sakura hissed as she tried to remain inconspicuous amongst the crowds.

"You are going to miss your flight." Sasuke murmured darkly. "Sakura, don't do this. Don't run away."

"You've made your decision and I refused to hurt Ino. She deserves better than this."

"I don't love her. I love you." Sasuke insisted. He knew that he was loosing precious time with her.

"Too bad I don't love you." Sakura replied.

"Liar. What will it take to make you stay?" Sasuke asked desperately.

"I've already told you before the wedding." Sakura said firmly as she dispatched his arms from her waist. "Right now, nothing will make me stay." Sakura said with finality as she stalked toward the door. Sasuke tried to go after her but the cheer from the crowds had stopped him as Ino intercept and whisked him toward the cake stand. Toasts were giving out from the guests as Sakura maneuvered herself through the throng of people toward the door. Finally stopping at the exit, she took one last look at the couple kissing before whirling out the door toward the Airport clutching the tiny bulge of life that was growing inside of her.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A/N2: Okay, some of you might think that Sasuke is a jerk and I think he's a jerk, but maybe Sasuke deserve a second chance with Sakura? Review and tell me if you want the three in one shot. I think ending it like this is good too. (Even though Sasuke didn't end up with Sakura)
