I grabbed the key from underneath the doormat and put it in the lock. After I stepped inside I put my purse on the coffee table in the living room. I walked into the kitchen and he wasn't in there. Where is he? I walked towards his bedroom hearing noises coming from there. I stopped outside of it and knocked. The noises stopped and a few seconds later my shirtless boyfriend was standing in the doorway.
"Hey Sasuke!" I said cheerily. He stepped out and slammed the door behind him.
"What are you doing here?" He spat at me. I cringed, but didn't remove my smile. I took his hand smiling sweetly at him.
"I wanted to spend today with my boyfriend. Do you want to go see a movie-" A sting on my cheek interrupted me.I put my hand on my cheek and winced at how hard he had slapped me.
"Don't come over uninvited or without notice. I was busy." He looked back at the door. I dropped my hand and put it on his shoulders and stood up to kiss his cheek.
"Sorry sweetie. I'll leave now." He nodded and went back into his bedroom. The noises continued and I went back into the living room and grabbed my purse. I know what he was doing in there or should I say who he was doing. I know he hooked up with random girls all the time, but I didn't care. I loved him too much.
When I finished locking the door my phone in my pocket vibrated. I picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Sakura!" I moved the phone away from my ear.
"Don't yell Tenten! You hurt my ear." I got in my car and started as I waited for her to continue.
"Sorry. What are you doing? Do you want to come over today? Or maybe you and Sasuke and me and Neji can go double?" I sighed as I backed out of the apartment complex.
"Sasuke is," I decided on my words, "busy. I'll just come over to your house."
"Okay Sakura! I'll see you soon. I love you!" I laughed at my lunatic friend.
"Love you too." I closed the phone and through it onto the passenger seat as I sped down the road. My phone vibrated and I carefully reached over to pick it up. "Hello?" I asked pressing the phone to my ear using my shoulder.
"Hey. Sorry about earlier. Is your cheek okay." I smiled. Sasuke is so caring. I looked in the mirror and observed my cheek.
"It's fine, but it might bruise. What's our excuse?" He hit me every once and a while and no one knows, so we come up with an excuse every time. It was getting a little tiring, but like I said. I'm in love with Sasuke too much that I have to deal with it.
"Just say you ran into a door." His calm, low voice said. My whole body melted when he talked.
"Okay. I love you!" I said cheerily into the phone.
"Bye." The other line cut off. I sighed. He never liked to express his emotions. I shrugged and through my phone back to the passenger seat. A second later I was pulling up into Tenten's driveway. I parked my beautiful baby pink Volkswagen Bug and got out quickly, running to the door. I knocked excitedly and waited.
"Come in." Opening the door, I ran into the living room, knowing that's where the twin-bunned girl would be. My hunch was correct. Sitting in between Neji's legs, Tenten was watching the TV with excitement.
"What are you watching?" She looked at me and smiled. I sat beside Neji smiling to him. He nodded, not taking his eyes off the TV.
"I Shouldn't Be Alive. It's crazy. In this one they get shipwrecked- Sakura! What happened to your cheek?" She turned to me and put a hand on the newly formed bruise. She always gets so worked up
"I ran into a door. I know I'm so clumsy." I shrugged it off as if nothing happened. She stood up immediately and ran into the kitchen, probably to get some ice.
"You're going to have to tell her the truth." Neji said calmly. I sighed.
"Maybe, but not now. She'll kill Sasuke." Neji was the only one who knew what goes on between Sasuke and I. He walked in and saw Sasuke hit me once. It took me forever to convince him not to say anything.
"If you don't I will." He said harshly finally staring me in the eyes. I glared back at the pupil-less Hyuga.
"No you won't. I can't deal with you now Hyuga. Tell Tenten I went to Naruto's." I stood up and stormed out of the house. He can't tell Tenten. I quickly drove off, on my way to Naruto's. I usually hang out with him everyday when I'm not with Sasuke. He is like a brother to me and I love him so much.
"Hey Naruto! I'm on my way over." I said into the phone. Neji always pisses me off, trying to make me feel guilty for not telling Tenten or for staying with Sasuke. I know he's trying to take care of me (because Naruto told him to even though he doesn't know), but I couldn't stand it sometimes.
"You okay?" Naruto could since when I was mad. That's why I loved him.
"I'll tell you when I get over there. Bye Naruto I love you!" I could feel his smile on the other side.
"Love you too Sakura!" I hung up and held the phone in my hand. It vibrated a minute later and I looked at the caller I.D. It was Tenten. I picked it up.
"Sorry I had to leave Tenten. We'll hang out later, just you and me. I'm going to Naruto's-"
"I know where you're going Sakura." Neji's monotone voice said through the phone. I scowled.
"What the fuck do you want Hyuga? I don't want to hear your crap." I was about to hang up when he interrupted me, again.
"Don't hang up. I just want you to know that I care about you, not just because your best friends with my girl friend or that you're Naruto's best friend, but because I can't stand the Uchiha and don't want him to hurt anyone. I wish you would at least talk to someone about him." I sighed, knowing that Neji was right.
"I know Neji. I know." I sighed again and parked the car on the side of the road. "Can we talk?" I put my head on the steering wheel and took in a deep breath.
"Sure. Why do you put up with that ass holes crap?" He growled through the phone.
"Don't talk about him like that! Just because you don't like him doesn't me that I don't. I love him Neji, that's why I put up with him." I was trying to open up to someone and talk, and the damn Hyuga was just making me want to close up again.
"Sorry. Sakura he hurts you. You need to put a stop to it. He may take it too far one day." His voice was quiet and sincere.
"No he won't. He loves me too much. I'm just not perfect enough for him, that's why he hits me." I couldn't control my anger. Sasuke and I love each other. Isn't that enough?
"Fine Sakura, but when he does I won't be there for you." With that angered statement he hung up on me. I sighed and started driving again. Once I parked the car in Naruto's driveway I sat there for a second.
Some people just don't understand when someone is in love…
A/N: You know that song by Eminem featuring Rihanna Love the Way you Lie? Well that's where I got the inspiration. I don't like that song and thinks it's completely emo, but it gave me the idea for this fanficiton. Hope you like the Prologue. More hurt, drama, comfort, romance, and friendship coming soon.
