Hey guys. I've been M.I.A. for quite a while now. Creative streak runs dry. Sorry. :/ The song is "Tomorrow" by Avril Lavigne. I rewrote this story because I decided I didn't like the way I wrote it the first time. Please enjoy! :)
And I wanna
believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
yeah I try to
believe you,
But I don't
I sighed and glanced around. I was sitting on the bridge, like I did everyday. To most people this kind of existence was pretty pathetic. But coming to the bridge was my thing. It sort of became a tradition. Originally, I would wait out here him. Waiting for him to come back to me. I sat waiting for the day when I finally see the face that made me go beyond all boundaries. He promised me before he went that he would come back.
Flashback
The night was cold. Angry chilled wind bit at me, trying to keep from where I knew I needed to be.. I ran swiftly to him. To where I knew he would be, at the gates of the town. I came to halt as I saw him ahead.
"Sasuke" I murmured. Tears began to fall down me face, dropping on the ground by me feet. "Please don't leave me… Please don't leave me!" I yelled. "Sasuke! SASUKE!"
"Stop Sakura," he said, turning to face me, "Let me go."
"Why should I!," I yelled, "You'll just get yourself killed and I'll never see you again! Take me with you! I won't hold you back… Just don't leave me..."
He turned to face me slowly. "Because,I'll be back for you. I promise."
With that, he left me standing there, crying.
End Flashback
When you say that
it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try
to believe you,
Not today.
So, I stayed at the bridge for about an hour every day at dusk. My original intentions had changed slightly, but the meanings were still there. Now I used this time to contemplate mysterious, challenging things. You know, things like the meaning of life. What I was going to have for dinner that night. Things like that.
I thought about how my life had been since he had left. I was much stronger, and had completed my training under the Hokage. My medic training had not been surpassed so far, but that was only because I was the only that ever tried. In my opinion, which people were rarely interested in, I was just the one who had given an effort. Chakra control? Pish posh. Whatever they wanted to call it, it was pure determination. I couldn't stand seeing people, especially not since Sasuke left and returned, and left again. So much blood. That was my epiphany I guess.
I glanced down at my reflection in the water. My hair was falling in my face. I hadn't noticed it, lost in thought and all that. It was still short-ish. About shoulder length. I wrinkled my nose at the weird pink haired medic-nin I saw before me. She could use a nose job, I thought. Must be nice to be Ino. She's as gorgeous as it comes.
Looking up, I noticed the sun setting quickly. I gathered my things and set off in a steady walk to my house. I sighed. The journey home was a bit of a short one. I didn't want to go home. I sighed again as I stepped up to my apartment door. I inserted the key into the lock, and stepped inside my house, carefully closing and locking the door behind me. I tiredly staggered into my room, changed, and got into bed, just laying there thinking.
This has to stop. Tomorrow I'm not going to go to that bridge. I'm going to go to the training grounds and practice. I need a tune up anyway.
And I drifted off to sleep.

Sasuke sighed. His breathing was ragged. He was cut and bruised. He was pretty sure he had broken a bone in his arm somewhere.
But by god, he was ready.
