------------------------------Heart
broken, more than once.
They didn't care for her,
They never
did care for her,
She knew there wasn't care anymore...
She sat outside her house, back against the small building, knee's pulled up to her chest as she stared out to sky above the other houses across the street from her. She sighed, resting her chin on her knee. She could hear them arguing from inside, her fathers loud voice booming over her mother's gentle voice that sounded pretty harsh from having to scream. She reached her hands up to cover her ears from the noise 'Please stop,' she thought to herself, pleading with destiny that they would stop fighting, but destiny wasn't on her side as she heard her mom give a scream as her father once again hit her.
The tears flowed from her emerald green eyes as she tried to block out the noise, but it didn't work. It never worked for her,
Not far from the side of Konoha she lived at, a boy sighed as he sat on the worn out couch in his apartment, his body hanging halfway on and halfway off, his arm dangling off the couch as he hit a button on the remote, watching the tv flick from one channel to the next. It wouldn't be long until his father came home, drunk like usual. Finally finding the channel that listed the tv guide, he let the remote fall from his hands, and at the same time it collided with the floor, the door was thrown open as his fathers large form staggered into the house. He didn't look up from the tv as he father made his way into the kitchen.
'Drinking more,' he thought before he pulled himself off the couch and made his way upstairs to his room, walking into his room he plopped himself on his bed before pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, placing one in his mouth before tossing the pack across the room where it hit the wall and slid to the floor. He than pushed himself onto his back as he stared up at the blank ceiling, reaching his hand randomly on the desk becides his bed for his lighter.
'School tomorrow..' his mind brought up, trying to start a conversation with himself. He gave a slight glare as he lit his cigarette "Ya ya.." he replyed to his mind.
His father didn't
care,
He cared for himself more,
Himself and his alcohol,
He
wanted someone to care again...
She groaned at the sound of the 'beep, beep' of her alarm clock. Pushing the object off the spot it sat, she listened to it crash onto the floor before turning to face the other way, cuddeling herself deeper into the blankets, but sadly no would allow her a peaceful sleep.
"Sakura!" her fathers voice called from outside the door. She sighed 'Guess I'll have to get up..' she thought to herself, rolling over and getting out of bed "I'm up!" she snapped before getting ready for school
On the other side, the boy had already grabbed his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. He made no wave or anything to his father who knelt besides the toilet, puking up whatever remained from last night. He walked out of his house, climbing onto the black harley that sat out front waiting for him. "Let's go un," he muttered to himself, pulling the black helmet over his head, a slight smirk on his face as his fingers brushed against the snake painted on the side of it before his hands grabbed onto the handles and he was off in a flash.
By now Sakura had finished changing, looking at herself in the mirror, running a quick hand through her pink hair wondering if she should put it up or just leave it "C'mon Sakura can't miss school!" her mothers voice called in as she gently tapped her fingers on the door. Sakura sighed, her hair down would have to do. "Yes mother," she said before walking out to her mother.
Green eyes that matched her own stared back at her, the only diffrence was the large black and blue mark around her mothers left eye. Sakura was about to reach her hand up to touch it, but as if she already did it her mother flinched and quickly walked away from her. Sakura sighed as she watched her mother before quickly leaving for school.
Mother always
shamefully put down,
It only broke her more,
She knew her
mother cared some bit,
But her care was covered by fear
"Hey Forehead!" a loud voice greeted as Sakura walked halfway down the street, she replaced her frown with a smile, her eyes looking over the blonde that walked over to her "Ino-pig," she greeted back before both girls smiled at each other and gave each other a hug. They both started walking side by side for school. Sakura laughed and smiled, even though inside she was only being torn into smaller and smaller pieces.
In a flash both girls skirts fluttered in the wind as a motorcycle quickly fly by, Ino glared down the street "Slow down asshole!" she screamed shaking her fist. Sakura smiled as she flattened down her skirt "Hate to meet whoever that was," she muttered to Ino. The blonde gave one of thoes 'Ho ho ho' laughs before smirking "Hopefully if we do we can teach them a little lesson," she said cracking her knuckles.
As he continued up the street he didn't pay much attention to the treat made to him from a girl with blonde hair, 'fuck them' he thought as he saw the school starting to loom up, and where his friends always met, he could seem the black and red blurs that stood on the other side of the street across from the school. Pulling up, he took his helmet off to flash his friends one of his famous smirks. "Deidara-sempai!" one of the boys greeted rushing over to try to put him in a death grip the smaller boy called a 'hug'.
He ducked away from it, kneeling down next to his bike to put his lock on it from assholes who would think to try and steal his only transportation.
Because of his
attitude,
He was always bullied,
Though he didn't much give a
crap,
But if it was on his art, he had to have a say in it
"Hey theres Tenten and Hinata!" Ino called with a smile as she pointed to two girls that stood under a Sakura tree in the school yard. Sakura smiled before running over to them, not even paying attention to the street as she made her way "Sakura!" Ino gave a scream as she saw a car heading her way, already late to stop. Sakura turned at her friends voice, eyes widened at the sight of the car that was coming closer.
"Whats that girl thinking?!" One of Deidara's buddy's yelled pointing to a girl that stood in the way of a car. Deidara gritted his teeth before running out, tackling the girl and letting them roll along the street before the car could make contact, but Deidara could hears it's wheels give a screech as the person stoped to atleast make sure no one was injured.
'Damn,' he thought looking at his arm that had taken all the weight as it hit the concrete from their fall. Moving his fingers he gave a flinch as the pain went right up his arm. Sakura's eyes were shut tight as her fingers had almost a death grip on Deidara's shirt. She could hear feet making their way over "Sakura are you alright?" she heard Ino's worried voice as she kneeled down next to her and Deidara
Sakura finally let her eyes open as she looked up to Ino before looking at the glare that was boring into her head from the boy that had saved her "What the hell were you thinking?!" he snapped to her as he sat up, examining his arm. She couldn't help but glare back "Why are you yelling at me?!" she snapped back. Ino gave a sigh running a hand through her hair "C'mon Sakura we're going to miss class," she said helping her friend to her feet.
"Hey are you guys okay?" A man ran over, his eyes looking at Sakura and Deidara "Your the asshole driver arn't you?" Ino questioned before glaring "Why don't you watch where you drive!" she snapped shaking a fist at him. The man glared back "Your friend was the one who ran in front of my car!" he snapped back also shaking a fist at her. Sakura sighed grabbing Ino by the back of the shirt and dragging her off kicking and screaming.
"Girls.." the man muttered before looking to Deidara "You alright?" he asked. Deidara smirked "My arm un." he told him
The first time they
met,
Was a bit of a problem,
Neither of them knew they would
get close,
The man looked at Deidara's arm "Want me to take you in to your school nurse?" he asked. Deidara shook his head "Nah..I can make it on my own.." he muttered standing. He watched one of his buddies walking over "Don't worry Sasori I'll be fine," he reasured the other boy who was looking over his arm. Sasori crossed his arms "I wan't worried.." he muttered. Deidara laughed shaking his head "Ya ya, you say that now un," he muttered before he started walking to the school.
The guy from the car stared before going back to his car. "Whoever that girl was, she was dumb," Sasori muttered as he walked behind Deidara. "Heh, she's got some manners too..Didn't even say thanks for me saving her un." he told Sasori. The red head rolled his eyes "C'mon before your injury get's to your head.." he muttered walking faster.
Both had never really
crossed paths until that accident,
But after that..
Paths
started to form
"Well it's a surprise to see you here," a woman joked around as she watched Deidara walk into her office. He gave a small laugh "Like I wound stop coming to see the woman who tended to my every accident," he told her as he sat down on the small bed like some kind of routine. She quickly started to get to work on healing his arm.
"So what happened this time?" she asked him looking up for a split second before working on his arm again. He sighed "Stupid girls and not watching the street before they walk," he told her. She gave a small giggle before patting his arm "Good thing it isn't broken or anything," she said. He laughed "If it was broken than I'd have difficulties with my drawlings," he said. She shook her head walking over to her desk as she grabbed a pen and started to scribble something down on a slip of paper.
"Well, you might have pain from moving your fingers, so I wouldn't take the chances of drawling right away..Maybe give it a few days to rest, who knows, maybe you can train the other hand to also be good with drawling," she said before holding out the slip of paper to him "Here's your note if your late for class, it also tells your teacher to not give you too many writing assignments," she told him.
The only thing he cared for,
Was
his art which was the only thing he was good at,
Sure he was good
at other things,
But his art was the only thing he could be truely
content with
Sakura sighed as she rested her forehead against her desk, it was a good thing her first class her teacher was always late or else she would have been scolded for coming in a bit late. She heard the chair's legs next to her screech against the floor as it was pulled out before the 'plop' of a bag was heard as it hit the floor.
"Sa-ku-ra-chan!" a loud voice called out, and she cringed at it. "Naruto," she mumbled into the desk, which all he heard was 'Narafu'. He gave a smile as he leaned back in his chair, bringing the two front leg's up as he crossed his arms behind his head. He blinked when he noticed a rip in the side of her shirt showing a bit of her skin "Sakura you have a rip in your shirt," he told her springing up, causing the chairs front leg's to slam down and he went sailing into his desk.
Sakura blinked at what he said and moved her head off the desk to look down at her shirt, and like he said, there was a rip staring back at her as if taunting her.
Naruto was Sakura's
best friend becides Ino,
He was the one who seemed to read her
easily,
And truthfully, he seemed to be the only one who cared,
So
he was almost like an older brother to her
"it must have been from that accident.." she muttered. Rubbing his face where it hit the desk, Naruto raised an eyebrow "Accident?"
Sakura blushed in embaressment "Oh ya..I um..Kind of wasn't watching where I was going and almost got hit by a car," she said giving him a smile as if what she told him didn't really bother her. His blue eyes widened "Sakura!" he yelled jolting out of his seat, causing everyone to look at him and Sakura.
She sank down in her seat, trying to ignore the other students staring "Naruto sit down.." she muttered. He blinked looking around before sitting back down "Are you hurt?" he asked her. She shook her head "This kid pulled me away before I got hit," she reasured him. He nodded "Who was it?" he asked her. She groaned "Naruto what is this 20 questions? I don't know who it was and I really don't care!" she snapped before pulling a book out of her bag and flipping to the middle of it, reading whatever sentence came to her first.
Sakura
truely didn't think the accident was that big of a deal,
And she
didn't really think being saved was that big of a deal as
well"Geez..Maybe thats why
Sasuke isn't here, he took of my best friends brain," Naruto
grumbled before leaning back in his seat again and talking to the
other person sitting on his other side. Sakura sighed, running a hand
through her pink locks as she read the sentence that stared back at
her.
"Who was that girl you
were just talking to?" her eyes glistened with tears as she
stared into his bright blue eyes. He sighed rubbing the back of his
neck "It was just a friend, you know I wouldn't do anything to
hurt you." he told her. She shook her head "How can I
believe you? Everyone told me you were the type to cheat, I just
didn't want to believe it.." she said a tear running down her
cheek before she clenched her eyes shut. She was about to walk
away when his hand grabbed onto her wrist. He pulled her into a tight
embrace, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist as if she would
dissapear in his grip. His face nuzzled gently against her hair "You
and I promished each other we'd trust each other, I've kept no lie
from you," he pulled away so that his hands were now on her
hips, his eyes staring back at hers. "No lie can be kept from
you, you are an angel and I am letting go of everything for you,"
he told her before leaning down. Her eyes slowly closed as his
face slowly got closer to hers, at the touch of his lips against hers
in a gentle kiss she threw her arms around her neck.
When she
was bothered,
She let herself read of the stories she wished would
come true
She always found herself quoting the lines she wished
were said to her once"No Naruto,
you must be hearing things," she said giving him a smile. He
blinked but nodded with a smile "Kakashi-sensei is being really
late today," he told her nodding his head to the front of the
classroom where their gray haired teacher was still missing. Sakura's
brows furrowed in thought "Maybe he's sick and forgot to let the
principal know.." she replied to him.
All heads turned to when the door opened, expecting their teacher to walk in with an excuse, but instead in walked Deidara, bandages wrapped around his arm as he walked to the back where he sat with a boy with red eyes. "That's him," Sakura whispered to Naruto. The blonde blinked "Who?"
"The one who saved me from the car," Naruto's eyes widened before he got up from his seat. "Naruto where are you going?" she asked grabbing onto his wrist to stop him. He laughed "I'm going to thank him since apparently you didn't," he told her ripping his arm out of her grasp.
Naruto was the only one who
didn't want to get on the bad side of people,
Especially someone
he didn't know,
Who could beat him up at any minuteDeidara
looked up from his conversation when a spikey blonde haired boy
bounced up to him and the red eyed boy. He raised an eyebrow "Hello,
my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I just came to thank you." he
told him. Deidara, more confused, scrunched his face up "Thank
me for what, did I like, give you lunch money or something?" he
asked. Naruto laughed before shaking his head "No you saved my
friend Sakura," he said pointing his thumb in Sakura's direction
who turned her face away as if she wasn't watching.
Deidara laughed "Ah the girl who almost got hit by the car.." he said her face coming back to him. He shrugged "It's no problem, but pinky there better watch where she walks next time un," he told Naruto. The hyper boy nodded before giving a wave and going back to his seat next to Sakura.
"He called me pinky.." she growled low enough for Naruto to hear. He smiled patting her on the back "Well atleast it isn't anything about your forehead," he told her in a comforting way, only to get glared at. "Naruto..Sometimes I wonder how we became friends.." she grumbled
Sakura was very affected by
nicknames she got
She was made fun of a lot,
And it wasn't
common for a girl to have pink hair
And a large forehead
