This came out really late huh? Since it's a new year I figured I put up a story or something. XP Hehe I hope you like it anyway.

I'll Be Here

Prolouge

It all started 8 years ago.

When I was about 9. That time I was in the 3rd Grade. Ever since the first day of school mom and dad have been fighting. Screaming and Arguing here and there, In their room, the kitchen, down the hallway… in the garden.

I woke up to screaming again. Yup, you read right, again. I was pretty used to it, but at first I gotta admit I was freaked. But now I figured my mom found out that my dad was cheating on her. Normally, I would stand near them so they would see me and stop fighting.

I just brushed it off that time since I was tired from hearing them go all ape on each other.

I was so wrong. I regretted not appearing in the middle of the fight.

The next day I woke up in a different room. My mother brought me to a hotel and explained things.

That dad and her won't be the same anymore. My life won't be the same either.

Nothing will.

She decided that we would move to the States to start a new life together. Just her and me.

My dad found out about our plans since, well, I was his daughter. He wanted to talk to my mom about it. But in the end, it was all up to me. All pressure was on me. I didn't know what to do, who to choose. The worst part was that I had to give an answer straight out flat right then and there.

I chose to stay with my dad. I loved my mom, but I didn't want to leave my dad or Japan. My mom was furious. Enraged. I would never forget the words she told me. It struck hard and that made me quiet for the rest of the year.

My father worked harder so he could provide everything I wanted and needed. I was motherless but I still had my friends. I rarely saw my dad because he was always at work. Turns out, he got a girlfriend.

Most kids would go against that and be happy, but what could I do? I was very open to anyone but my dad was happy and the woman was also supporting me anyway.

I hated my fifth grade life. My father spent life outside with his girl, his job and his friends. I was always left alone and I would just hang out with my friends. But I didn't realize that was just a recipe to disaster. My dad leaving all the time, my best friend turning out to be a bitch, just the beginning. I can't wait for you to here the result of the recipe.

6th grade.

My dad got married the summer before 6th grade. It turns out, I got an older step-brother.

I thought grade six would be absolutely perfect. I was graduating, with my closest friends, I had a family although I still felt alone.

I was still open and shared my problems woth my friends.

And that's where everything fell apart.

My dad started acting differently. Its like he didn't care anymore. After all, he has his life now, that wicked pathetic excuse of a step-mother. Oh no, I'm not being Cinderella here. I got everything I wanted. We were quite rich. I was very popular. But I still felt incomplete. Not to mention lonely.

The pain got worse and I wanted to confront someone about my feelings… I went for my friends since we've known each other since we were toddlers. They were very understanding at first. But I found out they all hated me. They ended up ruining my reputation in school. Everything spread like fire.

That I was drinking and clubbing. That wasn't true. The thing that hurt was I would here my classmates say, "I heard her father abandoned her for some chick." or "She's too perfect so her family abandoned her cause' they knew she would survive the harsh world."

They were part-true and partly lies. My father didn't abandon me, he just left me alone at home at times. I still had my brother whom I was close to. And I wasn't perfect. No one is.

Pain came back again and this time I talked to my brother, and this time he told mom.

She found out how I hated her for changing my dad and making me lonely. Everyday she would glare at me at the table. She didn't tell dad. She knew that would cause problems. Because she knew that dad loved me a ton.

Well, that was what she said and apparently, thought.

Well, dad eventually found out and that night must be the most emotional night ever. It breaks the record of mom leaving.

Everything was a blur. Everyone was screaming. Even me. My head was spinning. But everything cleared up when she asked a certain question.

"Its either that brat leaves or I will."

The next thing I knew, I was forced up the stairs. And the next day, everyone was gone. There was money left on the table with a credit card, but the who cares? They all left me.

I graduated normally, but no one was there. I remained perky and cheerful in school, despite everything that's happening around me. I just need to remember some words before I break down and cry.

Stay strong and keep your head held up high.

But I always blamed myself for being to open and trusting too much. Everyone just betrays you and leave.

…Right?

Present Time

"Oi, Sakura… How come I don't know anything about you?" A 17-year old blond also known as Ino Yamanaka asked as she took a sip from her shake.

"Eh? What Do you mean Ino?" Sakura asked back.

"Oh I dunno, ever since you entered high school, you became popular with boys even girls, your beautiful and you just you know… no one's even ever seen you cry!" Ino pointed out rolling her eyes.

Sakura sighed. "My name is Sakura Haruno, I'm 16 years old I was born on March 28, 1993. I love black. I hate Math and Love Lunch. I think Flying Cockroaches are the most disgusting thing ever I wanna be a singer someday stuff toys but mostly music are my life and its not my god made me this way." She continued. "Your beautiful to Ino."

"You've Never. ever. Cried in public!"

"I don't like crying in public, and for the record, I'm not perfect. Never was, Never will. No one will ever be."

"But people can appear perfect, Sak. Where's your family anyway? Never seen them." Ino inquired. Letting the pink-haired girl slip. this time.

Oh, crap. Sakyra thought. Ugh… Just do your thing sakura… act like you always do…

"I only met you this year, piggy." Sakura said smoothly. This has to work.

"Yeah but sti-" Ino stopped in mid-sentence. "Did you just call me fat?"

"Maybe I did, pig." Sakura teased. it worked…

"UGH!" Ino said. Sakura got up from the grass and collected her things. "I gotta get going now Ino. Mom's gonna kill me." Sakura said faking a sigh.

"K, Sak see ya."

Sakura walked down the sidewalk…

No one was waiting for her at home… no one was.
