Hey everyone! So I have been inspired after reading a couple of fanfictions, so I hope that I do my own justice. I'm really going to try to keep up with this as well as my other story I have been writing.
Summary: Sakura is running from her past, hoping that it doesn't catch up to her. Her running eventually leads her to the last group of people she would've found herself in….

Being in love is never easy, especially when you never had a really good example of what being in love is supposed to be like. People also say that you can't run from your past, except that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I can't help but think that my friends were right, as I'm throwing whatever I can into bags to get the hell out of mine and my now ex-boyfriends apartment.
Flashback,
I was just putting the final touches of dinner on the table when I heard the door open.
"Hey babe right on time!" I smiled as my boyfriend Kenta came around the corner. Although the sight of my boyfriend made the smile drop off my face.
"Kenta is everything okay?" I asked walking around to the other side of the table.
"I don't know you tell me?!" Kenta half yelled. I jerked back not expecting his reaction.
"What are you talking about?" I asked trying to remain calm. He pushed past me and I immediately could smell the booze roll off him.
"You know what, you stupid bitch!" he yelled as he grabbed a beer from the fridge. I followed him not understanding what he was going on about.
"Kenta seriously I don't know what you are talking about honest!" I exclaimed.
Kenta through his half empty beer can at the wall and I couldn't help but shriek not expecting a beer can to come flying past my head. I looked to the wall where the beer can had connected only to miss Kenta charge at me and pin me to other wall in the kitchen by my throat. My hands went up and grabbed onto his hands as I struggled to breathe.
"I saw you! You were with Kai!" He yelled in my face his grip slowly starting to tighten. I tried to shake my head but his grip was to strong, all I could manage was a cough. He let me go and threw me to floor.
"He's just a friend!" I gasped as I ran my hand across my neck.
"Bullshit! I know you're cheating on me with that piece of shit!"Kenta yelled at me and I couldn't help but cower on the floor.
"I'm not cheating on you! We were just grabbing a coffee before our shifts at the hospital started!" I said as I started to get up.
"Lies! I know the way you look at him, you ungrateful bitch!" He just kept yelling at me as he paced the floor.
"Ungrateful?! Are you fucking kidding me? If anyone is ungrateful its you! You asshole! I'm the one who has been providing everything while you bounce around from job to job! You're 28 years old for fuck sakes! Grow up! I'm tired of all this bullshit!" I screamed back at him finally having enough.
"You stupid bitch!" Kenta screamed back at me, his hand came back and smacked me against the face sending me to floor, unfortantly it didn't stop there. Kenta grabbed my hair in his hand and proceeded to throw me around, my head connected with the corner of the counter when he released my hair. I could feel the tears coming to my eyes, trying to pick myself up off the floor, only to get shoved back down, and thrown onto my back, once I was on my back my eyes were wide at the sight of the person above me. It wasn't the person I fell in love with, it was someone much darker. He smirked at my panicked expression. He bent down and before I could react he punched me in the face, with so much force that my head snapped to the side. I couldn't help the sob that came out of my throat. He reached out and grabbed my grabbed my hair pulling me up with it.
"You ever talk to me like that again and I'll fucking kill you," He whispered in my ear, "And don't even think of leaving cause I'll always find you." He then pushed me away. I wrapped my arms around myself as I tried to hold myself together, "Get me my dinner then clean this mess up," he ordered me and walked out. The tears slipped out of my eyes as I heard the tv get turned on. I looked at the floor and could see spots of red on it, only to realize that it was blood, and it was mine from when my head hit the counter. I grabbed some paper towel and put it to my forehead only to wince. I pulled the paper towel away to see blood had gathered on it.
"Sakura where the hell are you with my dinner!?" I heard Kenta yell from the living room.
"Just a minute," I called back softly, as I quickly filled out a plate of food, I paused and grabbed another beer from the fridge. When I walked into to living room, I went towards Kenta and handed him his plate, I then cracked open his beer and put it on the side table next the couch.
"Now see was that so hard," He reached out, and I flinched back. "If you only followed the rules, I wouldn't have to punish you. And now look at you, I hope you have come up with better excuses than last time." He said as he looked away.
"I know I'm sorry, I'll follow the rules." I meekly said, and slowing started to walk away, as I walked out of the living room I heard him say that I better follow them. When I walked into the kitchen I leaned against the wall as by body started the shake as the adrenaline started to wear off. I bent down and picked up the beer can that he had thrown and put it onto the counter. I slowly started to wipe my blood off the floor, and then moved onto to wipe up the beer that was on the wall and floor. As I stood up, I walked over to the medicine drawer and pulled it open looking to take something for the pain that I was starting to feel.
"Get me another beer woman!" Kenta yelled from the living room. My eyes came across the sleeping pills that I prescribed a few months ago, and all I could think was that enough was enough and I was done with being abused.
"Right away Kenta," I answered back to him. I opened my sleeping pills and dumped a couple into my hand. I grabbed yet another beer from the fridge. As I walked into the living room, two sleeping pills in hand, I cracked the beer and quickly put the sleeping pills into the beer. I handed Kenta the newly opened beer, and grabbed his empty. I smiled slightly to myself when I saw him take a big drink out of the can. I walked back into the kitchen to dispose of the can. I slowly went back out to the living room turning off the light as I left.
"I'm going to go upstairs and read if that's okay?" I asked timidly.
"Whatever," Kenta mumbled.
I quickly went upstairs and turned on the light for the bedroom and went and pulled my suitcase from under the bed.
Current..
I was throwing what I could into my suitcase, throwing as much stuff as I could into it. I could feel my nerves coming to the surface as this isn't the first time I've tried to leave. As I walked into the bathroom and I couldn't help but tear up at my reflection. Finger marks on my neck looking red and angry, dried blood across my forehead, and a black eye starting to form as well as a split lip. I closed my eyes and allowed a tear to escape. I wiped my cheek, and grabbed my bag of toiletries, and makeup bag. I peeked out of the attached bathroom to make sure the coast was clear. I tossed the items on the bed, and reached back into the closet to grab a large duffel bag. I started to throw the rest of my stuff into the duffel bag, remembering to grab my portable filing book filled with important documents. As I did a quick turnaround of my room I noticed the photo of my parents, and quickly put it on top of the items in the bag before closing it. Once I knew I had what I needed. I slowly grabbed my things. Slung the duffel bag over my shoulder and grabbed my suitcase, I quietly made my way down the hallway. As I slowly made my way down the stairs trying to be as quiet as possible, once I made my way down the stairs I peered into the living room to see Kenta slumped over on the couch.
This is it! This is my chance! I couldn't stop now, I was finally leaving this hell. I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my purse. I opened to door quietly, and slipped out the door. Once the door, I was running down the hallway to the stairwell, I threw the door open and practically threw myself down the stairs. I couldn't be more thankful that we only lived on the second floor. Once I made it to first floor, I went out the door, and as normal as possible I walked out of the main lobby, and made my way outside. Once I felt I was in the clear, I took off in a run to my truck. I threw down the tailgate, and tossed both the suitcase and duffel bag into the box, quickly making sure the tunnel cover was still latched properly. I slammed the tail gate closed and flew around to the driver's side, and flung the door open, I slammed the doors locking the doors as soon as my door was closed. I put the key into the ignition and it turned the key and truck started right up. I slammed the gear shift into reverse and flew out of my parking spot. I put the gear into drive, and sped out of the apartment parking lot like a bat out of hell. I flew through traffic lights making a bee line for the free way.
I couldn't help but cry as I drove away, overwhelmed with emotion as I actually got away from Kenta. I kept driving till I couldn't see Suna in my rear view mirror, and kept driving. After about an hour of driving I pulled over at roadside gas station. Topped up the gas, and grabbed a couple of drinks and snacks. I then peeled out, still not feeling safe to casually walk around, especially looking the way I do. After driving another 45 minutes I heard my phone going off, and my stomach dropped as it was Kenta's name that came up on my called ID. I didn't answer and slammed the gas pedal to the floor. I flew past vehicles, I could still hear my phone going off with text notification and phone calls. I reached over and turned my phone off, I couldn't handle it anymore. I turned to music up full blast and sped along the freeway.
A day and half later, I made it to a city I promised myself I would never come back to, Konoha. When I saw the "Welcome to Konoha!" sign I finally let out a sigh of relief. I pulled over into an empty parking lot of a grocery store, seeing that it was nearing one oclock in the morning. I put my truck in park. Looking at myself in the rear view mirror I still look worse for wear, as the bruises were more prominent, I shook my head and opened the door, stepped out and stretched. I walked to my tail gate and pulled my duffel bag towards myself. I opened it up and rooted around for my files. Once I found it I opened up the folder that read "Contacts" I flipped through the pages till I found the person I was looking for. I pulled the sheet of paper out. Put my files back in the bag, zipping it back up, and pushed it back and closed the tail gate.
I made my way back into the driver's seat and started my truck back up and made my was towards the address that was on the sheet of paper. After a couple of wrong turns I finally made it to where I was going. I pulled up across from the house I was looking for shocked to see about twenty motorcycles sitting out front all parked in a row. I slowly made my way towards the house pulling the hood up on my hoodie, as I made my way up the drive way I could hear people shouting and laughing.
Once I made it up to the front door, I released a shuddering breath and brought my hand up to ring the door bell.
"Woman the door!" I heard a man laugh.
"Call me woman one more time Jiraiya!" I heard a women yell clearly as she neared the door.
As the door opened I couldn't help but start to cry as the woman I remembered from my childhood opened the door.
"S-Sakura?!" the woman exclaimed eyes going wide at the sight of me.
"Tsunade," I cried and couldn't help but throw myself at her. She threw her arms out to catch me. She pulled me into a hug.
"What is going on Sakura?" Tsunade asked as she pulled me into the house.
I pulled out of the arms, and looked at her, hearing her gasp as she got a better look at my face.
"I had nowhere else to go," my voice cracked. Tsunade with tears in her own eyes reached out and pulled me back into a hug.
"It's going to be okay, Sakura I promise." I tightened my grip around her, and I couldn't help but believe her.
