Disclaimer; My story but I don't own Naruto
Oh yeah, this is my story I've been working on for a bit. So here it is!!!
---------
Radio blasting, heart aching. I was running... Running from everything...
---------
1:44 AM
A red slugbug tore on the road, rain flying everywhere. The driver was crying, black stains on her face from her make-up. Her hair was a mess, she was wearing a white tank-top. Her shoes gone, she didn't know where they were. And she was wearing her boyfriends boxers.
Make that her ex-boyfriends boxers.
She sniffed, her heart was aching and her radio was blasting the song Hurt. She was crying even more than ever. He told her that he didn't want her. She was getting old.
She swallowed, sobbing and hit her head against the steering wheel. She was hurt.
Her boyfriend of three years dumped her. She was sure the two would get married and have two kids. Get old and die. But Gaara ended it short, he was the one whom started it and the one whom ended it. She had been so stupid... no she had been blinded by her one-sided love. She had loved him with her whole heart.
It started at the beginning of their Senior year, he got down in front of the student body on the halftime show for the homecoming game and asked her to be his. She was flattered and tackled the best corner back to the ground and the crowd went wild.
The most popular girl and the most popular guy in Suna, were now dating. Of course people were jealous. Hell she didn't care, she learned to love him more and more as the days passed.
They got out of Highschool, she moved into an apartment with him. He worked as a salesman, she spent her time at a local flower shop. The two made enough to get by. The two didn't sleep together, much. Only once or twice did they share the same bed. No sex.
Gaara told her that he loved her. She believed him. But she was torn now because he turned her away. She grapped her money, her clothes in her closet, her only pair of tennis shoes left behind. She loaded her car with a six pack of Coke, four red bulls and a bag of chips in the passenager seat.
She had been crying the whole time. He just watched her leave. He didn't want her anymore.
The radio was now playing the song I Never Wanted To. She was sobbing more than the rain was falling at the moment.
'I'm going to drive off the road and kill myself.'
'Don't you dare kill me!'
'My life is over! Gaara left me for good...'
'As your inner self I want you to get those dumb thoughts out of your small brain. Kohona is in sight. Just give life another try.'
'It's pointless though... he doesn't want me... what's the point of living?'
'Get a hold of yourself!!! He was one stupid ass guy! Someone will love you better. I promise.'
'Look at it this way; he lost you. The best thing. More like he lost us and we're the best hotties on the block...'
'I don't feel like talking to you...'
'Because I'm right?'
She looked at the lights that burned ahead, she sighed. Listening to her inner self she kept going. Her heart was still breaking though. It seemed like her life was truly over. That was all she was living for. Gaara right?
She was in Kohona now, her red car pulling into her Aunt's drive way. She stopped her car, looking at her dirty feet with sad eyes. Slowly her hand traveled to the door and opened it. She swallowed, pushing her swore and crying body out of the car. She shut the door behind her. The young female walked to the front door, ringing the doorbell. She heard yelling, a males voice and a female telling him to shut his mouth and check on the kids. Funny how when your heart is broken you can hear every little detail.
A woman with brown eyes and blonde hair looked out the side door window at the girl standing there. Her eyes widened and the door flung open and the girl was enveoloped in a huge hug. "Sakura... oh God Sakura what happened... tell your auntie Rin. It's alright... I'm here for you."
That's when the girl broke down even more, crying into her aunt's shoulder.

3:12 PM
Sakura looked at her aunt, it had been three days since she came. In those days she hardly ate her meals. She slept and cried. Her uncle, an American named Todd was talking to her anut, Rin the day before today...
"Why does she sit in her room and cry? Is that all she does Rin? Cry, sleep and eat a piece of bread?"
"It's called a broken heart Todd... something you men won't get."
"Can't you get her a medicine?"
"The only medicine is a new love, letting go of your old love. Harder than it sounds... and most of the time it takes weeks or months, maybe even years to heal all the way."
So true were her aunts words. Sakura talked to her aunt and her cousins Mitchell and Lacey sometimes, hardly ever though.
Again today Todd was talking to Rin as Sakura was wrapped in a blanket on the couch. "Honey... I know you love Sakura but-"
"Todd she was my sister's only daughter. My sister is dead now and guess what? Her husband left. I'm suprised Sakura made it with that boy!" The words stung Sakura.
"She's twenty years old. Surely she could at least get a job." Sakura stood, walking to ward the kitchen.
"Todd." Something slammed on the counter. "I promised my sister that I would take care of her baby girl no matter what. I don't care what you think. Sakura is suffering right now and-"
"It's okay..." Sakura croaked.
Rin looked at her niece and swallowed, smiling. "What Sakura?"
"I understand that you want me to get a job. I'm just..." She looked at the ground, she swallowed her sorrow. Holding back tears. "I found an ad laying on the table. The Uchiha Cafe. I think I will work there. It will get my mind off... him." She choked the word 'him' out like it was a swear word.
"Sakura there is no need to push yourself."
"No..." Sakura said turning around, hiding her tears. "I think that I will try on my own. Thank you though. I mean I like staying here but... I am twenty years old." Sakura left the room.
"Good job now she thinks she's not wanted Todd!"
Sakura walked up the stairs, walking into her room now, she let the blanket fall. She sighed. This was going to be a long day. She could tell.
----------
4:03 PM
Sakura walked threw the streets of Kohona. She helded the cut of newspaper ad in her hand. She looked at the sign on the Diner. This was the place. She sighed, her hair was in a messy bun. She was wearing jeans and a pink sweatshirt. It was Fall and it was getting colder.
She swallowed and opened the door to see the Cafe had a few couples and single people and a group of four. Sakura heard footsteps.
"Hello."
She looked to see a girl with two buns on her head. "I'm Tenten can I help you?"
"Sakura... I was here about the job."
"Oh. Uchiha-san will want to talk to you about that. I'm Tenten. Like I said before. I'm eighteen in my senior year of high school. Dating Hyuuga Neji. But you probably don't care..."
"No, no it's fine." Sakura said, smiling weakly.
A man with a ponytail, dark blue hair and onyx eyes came out of the back room. "Oi! Who is that Tenten?"
"New girl. She wants to work..."
"Send her back." Was the mans anwser as he spilled into the back again. Sakura followed after him. She ducked down under the curtains, she looked to see a hallway, a kitchen at the end and three doors. Two were bathrooms and the last was an office. The pink haired girl went to the room to see the man there. "Sit." He said, pointing to the chair in front of him.
Sakura went to the chair and sat down.
"Name?"
"Haurno Sakura."
"Age?"
"Twenty."
He looked at her and scrimbled something down. "Why are you here."
"To work. I need a job, I just moved here."
"Okay. That's good enough." He said smiling. "We need help and anyone whom can give it can help. Sense your out of school you'll have to work from one PM to Four PM on the week days and on weekend eleven in the morning to two on Saturday and on Sunday, eight in the morning to noon. Got it?"
"Yes."
"Your first shift starts tomorrow." He bent down and pulled something out of his desk. It was a white t-shirt. "Here, it's the uniform. where it with anything just wear the shirt though."
Sakura stood up. She bowed her head. "Thank you Uchiha-san..." She turned around and walked out the door.
----------
My life was slowly spinning upward... I guess at least it was... I was in love Gaara... I was still to find out that my world would spin upward and downward about a million times...

Like I said, this is a story of mine. First chapter! Yeah! Lol. Now preveiw for next chapter;
Chapter Preveiw;
Sakura rubbed her eyes and walked over to the table she was suppose to take orders for. One man was there. "Can I help you?" She asked.
The man looked up.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat. This man was handsome. Raven hair and fierce onyx eyes.
"A coffee. With wipped cream on the top."
"Okay. Can I get your name?"
"Well," Itachi's voice from behind her said. "If it isn't little brother Sasuke."
Sakura's eyes widened. This was his brother?
Duh duh! Lol rate and reveiw!
