Hey there Non Existant here. This is like my 3rd story still not that very good. I wrote it back then and just felt like posting it right now. Hope you guys like this one. Personally posted by me! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
This is a Sai Sakura fic don't like don't read. Maybe slight Sasuke Sakura but not that much. AU
Summary: Sakura is feeling misunderstood and judged by others and she starts harboring feelings for a stranger, who strangely seems to comfort her. (I know that sucked)
Chapter 1: Betrayed
The blood slowly trickled down my wrist. The pain was nothing compared to what my torn heart was feeling. I sobbed, I felt so useless. Here I was, devastated and cutting my soul away just to think I needed to make sure I could still feel something. The one person who I had turned to as a friend had gone and stabbed me in the back. As if I already didn't have enough emotional wounds to worry about. She had gone and slept with my current boyfriend Sasuke Uchiha. I found them, limbs intertwined and everything.
I thought he loved and care about me. How wrong was I? I chuckled bitterly at my own thoughts. Everyone at school always looked at me and judged me based on what I wore or what I felt about myself. "That Emo girl or that Goth girl," they would say. He treated me differently; he had introduced me to his friends and treated me as an equal. Then one day he had surprised me when he asked me to be his girlfriend and I stupidly happily obliged. He was everything to me!
To think, he actually betrayed me with my best friend, or at least I thought she was. It turned out she was just using me to get closer to Sasuke. I felt utterly destroyed. Everything felt as if it was falling apart. I was living in a lie full of deceit and betrayal.
I leaned against the bench. After watching the awful scene with Sasuke and Ino, at my own house for Kami's sake! I ran away, thinking if I could escape what was happening, I could pretend that nothing actually occurred. After slowing to a jog, I had ended up at the park. I vomited into a nearby trash can and slowly sunk to the cold hard concrete floor, next to the small bench. The most horrible part was that I knew they had seen me. I vividly remembered how I stared into their lust filled eyes in utter terror. I shivered in remembrance of the grotesque memory. I had no idea when I could go back to my house without having to face those deceiving scum.
I sniffled and put my handy razor back into its case. Another dread filled thought was how in the world was I going to face school? I sighed in complete frustration. I could hear soft footsteps approaching, a part of me hoped greatly that it was Sasuke, coming back to tell me everything was a trick and that he still cared about me. I could hear a creek, indicating someone had seated themselves on the bench.
"Sounds like you've had a rough night," the voice murmured.
I frowned 'who was this guy?'
I slouched against the bench. 'I have nothing to lose by telling this guy about my crappy night. Right? I mean except for my pride, well there's no harm in a small conversation.'
I shrugged"Yes, if you must know, my night has been the worst."
"I see, what do you plan on doing now?" I thought for a few minutes, if they were still at my house I couldn't go back and face them. I probably looked like a mess right now anyways. My eyeliner was surely runny and my eyes had to be puffy with recently shed tears. I couldn't go back; my only option was to rent a hotel room for the night. "I guess I'm going to spend the night here," I mumbled. He chuckled and that's when I just had to turn to see his face. I gasped, for a second I thought I saw Sasuke, but then I realized he wasn't him. He just looked a bit similar. I examined him closer and saw his skin was paler than Sasuke's and his hair blacker. He also didn't have the hairstyle that Sasuke favored; his hair was short and reached just the nape of his neck. His eyes, they were so different from Sasuke's. His eyes were void of any emotion except when I looked deeper I could find that his eyes just looked, sad to me.
I felt a weird connection with him. His gaze drew me in. I plopped down next to him on the bench and then everything started to pour out of my broken soul. I started telling him about school and how I felt isolated until Sasuke made me feel as if I belonged. I told him about the betrayal of both my ex-best friend and my ex- boyfriend. I didn't feel like mentioning my cutting issues, so I pulled my sleeves over my palms and just started sobbing into them. I had no idea what made me trust this stranger enough to babble on about my stupid feelings and problems.
I could feel him awkwardly shift closer and pat my back slowly. The simple gesture had comforted me more than I thought it would. My tears slowly subsided and my sobs were yet to be heard of. I had to look into his eyes one last time. At first glance again there appeared to be no emotion whatsoever but when I searched, I saw pity and I think longing.
The night seemed to get colder; fortunately the light post hadn't shut off. I grasped his shirt and hid my face in shame. I snuggled my face into his shirt, it was warm and soft. I could feel him hug me into his warm embrace. He leaned back into the stiff bench with me still in his arms. I didn't want to leave or move. My eyelids were starting to droop and feel heavy. I blinked for a second and didn't open them afterward. I fell into a deep sleep in the arms of this complete stranger.
Okay! Guys that's my first chapter... Hahaha I feel so accomplished. That probably, no most definitely was the longest chapter I've written since being a noob. I'm pretty sure you guys have noticed, I don't really know how to space the paragraphs right so I'd just pick random places to you know, paragraph it. So sorry about that. Review! Please! I'd like to know what you guys like about the story so far and what you guys think I should work on :D
