The dark blue carpet led down a long hall, almost 5 rooms were passed, to get to her room, when she got to the bright cherry pink and jade green door with "Sakura" written on it, she slowly opens the door, a rush of safety filled through her, as soon as she tries to do some homework, do something a normal person would...
"Sakura Haruno get down here!" her father yelled, as soon as she get down, he hits her.
"You bitch, we work our asses off to get you a good life, and you repay us like this?" her mother screames.

FlashBack
"Grandma!" 6 years old Sakura Haruno cried, running to the door, Sakura's grand mother was visiting for the day.
"Hello Sakura" her grand mother smiled sweetly.
"Grandma! Are we going somewhere today" Sakura asked, she smiled.
"Yes we are, I am going to take you to the mall Sakura" her grand mother told her.
"Can we go mommy?" Sakura asked.
Her mother smiled whole heartingly, "Sure sweetie"
AT THE MALL
A drugs dealer hid behind the shadows of the building, he spotted the 2 and smirked. He let out a smoke bomb. Mists of black and grey evolved around Sakura and her grand mother.
Sakura looked terrified, she turned to her grand mother.
"Grandma! What should we do?" Sakura asked shakingly.
"Sakura, try and find a way out, cover your mouth and nose, and try and find help" her grand mother replied.
"What about you?" Sakura asked.
"Its alright, now go Sakura, hurry!"
Sakura hugged her grand mother and said, "I love you" quickly ran out of the smoke, when she got out, she heard hoarse coughing, she tried to run back in, but she remembered her grand mother's words. "Sakura, try and find a way out, cover your mouth and nose, and try and find help". Sakura nodded, 'I wont fail you grandma, just hold on' she thought, she ran to the security outside of the building.
"Excuse me" she started, "My grandma is stuck inside the black stuff" she cried.
The security man looked over at the smoke, no one would last in there.
"Front of the mall, hurry" he talked into his walkie talkie.
"Alright" he heard, he ran to the source of the problem.
When the police got there, they tried getting Sakura's grand mother out, but they were too late..
"GRANDMA!" Sakura cried, she beat herself up inside.
'I wasn't strong enough..' she kept telling herself.
"Little miss, who are you with?" the police officer asked her.
"My grandma" she said, pointing over to the dead body of her grandma.
The police officer suddenly felt a pang of guilt, a girl so young to experience so much..
"Do you know your phone number?" the police officer's helper asked.
"Yes, 604-555-2304" she replied.
The police officers called the number and talked on the phone for a bit.
"Your parents will be coming soon" the police officers said.
End of FlashBack
She walks to school with the lunch that she packed
Her mother slaps her.
Her father followed her mother, taking a random belt from Sakura's closet and wipped her.
"Your just a nuissance pety child" her father cried as she fell to unconcious (A/N: Spelling?))
After Sakura's grand mother died, Sakura's mother was struck with sadness, she always went out to drink, to try and relieve that pain, soon she becomes abusive, she always hurts Sakura, feeling it was a great way to make others suffer, feel her pain, especially the person who made her suffer this much. Sakura's father protected her for a time, but soon, he felt that his wife was right, she was the person who made them suffer, all of them. But Sakura's father went into the darkness, how many times Sakura tried to impress them, tried to get them to be a happy family once again, yet her failed attempts lead to abuse, to suffering, to pain.
Soon she awakes up, finding herself on the floor, blood around. She winces at the pressure of the intense pain in her arm...
She sees blood, all around. Her fear of blood.. She limps to her secret area in her room and got the bandages. She hid a stash of band aids from her grand mother inside her closet, she wanted to become a doctor one day, and she kept lots of first aid tools around, just in case. But she never thought, those medical tools, were there to save her life... she wanted to save others! She quietly walked to her parents room opening the door quietly, they were too busy making love to notice Sakura, she tearfully closed their door quietly. She was afraid, afraid they would see her, afraid she would have to experience all that again, she makes sure they were kept busy for the time being. She walks to the washroom and cleans the blood off her pale skin. She always believed her parents made love everytime they finished with Sakura, to relieve theirselves as well, all the tension, all the stress. All taken out of poor poor Sakura, and it wasn't even her fault.
Then she quietly falls into a peaceful slumber. Most people would wish that god could just take them out of this world. But not Sakura, she lived life the good way, thought sometimes.. she thought about having angel wings, and living in a peaceful serenity. When she was younger, she'd watch abuse videos, and feel bad for the people suffering it, she was in the 2 top Stop Child Abuse groups, but now, she was a victim, somebody out there was watching over her, she felt it. In her dreams she sees a man wearing a navy blue shirt, and white shorts 'Ready to escape hell?' it asks in her dreams. She nods, but as soon as she does so, she is waken up, by non other than a crash of lightning hitting a tree.
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Soon it was morning, Sakura awoke painfully, another day, another dream. She quickly got changed into her blue silk dress and ran to school. A gift from her mother.. way back...
FlashBack
"You
know Sakura, blue and silk would look really nice on you dear"
her mother smiled.
"Really mother?" Sakura said, her
emerald green eyes widened.
"Yes dear" her mother said,
she took the finishing dress piece off of her sewing rack.
She
presented it to her daughter, "Is it okay?" her mother
questioned.
"Wow! Mother it is lovely, I love it, thank you, thank you!" Sakura exclaimed, hugging her mother.
"I'm glad you like
it" she replies, she engulfed Sakura into a warm hug.
A
true, bright, radiant, smile stretches across her small pale face.
Nothing was more beautiful.
End Of FlashBack
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She saw her friends Sasuke, Naruto and Sai waiting for her at the door.(, she puts) She put on her fake smile and waved(s) at her friends.
"Sakura-chan! How are you?" Naruto called to the girl, smiling brightly.
"Yo ugly, why is your dress stained with blood?" Sai asked, looking at the (tinge) specks of blood.
Sasuke stared at the girl, he studied her face, he, caught what she was hiding, it was like a huge puzzle, waiting to be solved. Even with the slightest flinch, he would know she was lying, since when did Sakura always wear the same clothes? In their younger days, she was always mixing and matching...
FlashBack
5 years
old Sakura, looked at her closet.
"Mother made me this beautiful green shirt, I'll wear it... then I can wear this amazingly dazzling sparkle purple with stripes skirt grandma gave me!" Sakura exclaimed, like she had just solved an amazingly hard question to a crossword puzzle.
"Wow Saki you look amazing" Sasuke commented, as she walked out, Sasuke was waiting for her outside of her house, to go get ice cream together.
Sakura turned away as she blushed. "Umm, t-t-thank you Sasuke.. you look good too" she replied.
End Of FlashBack
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace... ooohhhh.
She hears the bell ring, giving them her fake smile, running away to the homeroom, she feels like breaking down, those constant lies she would make...
"Okay everyone we shall now hand out the tests, please begin" Mrs Kurenai their homeroom teacher says, she hands out the test paper, as she passes Sakura's desk she noticed her bruises...
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Sakura caught Kurenai's eye and smiled slowly. She thinks of herself as a burden, in this world to do nothing but suffer, maybe her parents are right..
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
When school is over, she rushes home, trying to not be late, so she wouldn't get too hard of a beating... But Sasuke caught her wrist as she ran out, and pushed her against the walls.
"What are you hiding Sakura?" he askes her.
"Nothing" she lies.
"I can see you are hiding something behind that mask of yours.." he whispereds.
"Really, its nothing" she insists.
He doesn't didn't believe her, "Then tell me what this blood is here?" he asked, pointing to her dress.
"Oh, I was just cooking, and the blood stained on my dress" she lies.
He believes, her.. "Okay.." he said, staring at her retreating back.
As she walks to her hell, she thinks, she shouldn't lie to everyone around her... She feels so bad, that even suicide would be better than living hell, and lieing to all ... to all her precious ones...
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
She runs home, but she is greeted by an angry voice.
"You are late," her mother screamed, enrangingly.
Sakura shuddered.
Her father used the same belt to whip her, this time, only it was harder, she winces in pain. Oh why does she deserve this? Wincing in pain, she asked herself again and again why she deserved this. Her cries went unheeded as her mother stood by.
"You know Sakura, try being more useful" her mother smirked.
"Your just pathetic, girl, you do nothing but make us suffer" her father continued.
She lets out a nervous cry...
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
Sasuke considered what Sakura had told him as he walked home from school. He didn't believe a word of it. Cooking? Since when did cooking leave bloodstains on a dress? Then there were the bruises. How could cooking do that to her? No, it was clear she was being abused. 'I will follow her home,' he thought, 'and see for myself what is really going on.'
He followed her home, noting how quickly she ran. She was clearly afraid. As she reached her front door, Sasuke ducked behind a post box, hoping she wouldn't notice him as she turned to enter the house. He cringed when he heard the shrill "You are late!" yell of her mother. 'I was right," he thought. Sasuke felt helpless and frightened. What would happen to Sakura if he did nothing? What could he do to make it stop? His hands felt numb. Pulling out his cellphone, he called the police and told them everything. In a matter of minutes, the police car pulled up the curb.
"Drop all items!"
a police shouts, comming out of the police car.
As the others
followed the lead police out, a man slightly a bit older than Sasuke,
approached the couple.
"I'm sorry Mr and Mrs Haruno, you're coming with us" the man smiles sadly, he puts handcuffs on the couples arms.
As that happens, Sakura's parents think of what they did to Sakura. 'We were terrible parents..' they thought, as they entered the police car. With that, they all entered their respective cars. As they here the sirens, the neighbors finally feel guilty, for turning out the lights, Sakura sensing their guilt, smiles and them sadly, a sign saying, 'Its okay'.
A man came to Sasuke, and a women to Sakura.
"Young lad, you were very brave, you just saved the life of your friend, and that is a very courageous thing to do, you've done well tonight lad, go to sleep now" the police men instructs Sasuke, ruffling his hair up.
Sasuke smrirks, "Don't worry, I will" he replies.
As the women approaches Sakura, Sakura feels a crack on her shoulder, she falls. The women runs to Sakura quickly.
"I just wanted to say... you've been through so much, good and bad.. you're a strong person honey." the women says catching Sakura as she falls limp, taking her into the police car...
Sasuke watches, after she is long gone, he slowly makes his way to his house, feeling like a hero, he also had another thought... 'I swear, I'll protect her with my life'... he thinks, as he enters his house, a silent echo is heard... 'Son you have made a good choice in life' it says. Sasuke smiles, a true smile, he suffered the same fate long before, his goal now, was to save his friend, from the darkness. 'Thank you, but I think I already know this, I will try my best' with that he falls asleep on the couch in his house, quietly, he dreams of a peaceful serenity, a place of eternal happiness.
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Soon she sits defenseless on the police car seats, she feels like she'll pass out any minute, like her soul would be taken away any second now, she smiled ... a true smile, as a loud thud was heard, she slowly fades away, fading out of consciousness as the belt bit deeper and deeper into her flesh. It occurred to her that she might die this time, and she wasn't sad at all. She smiled, a true smile, anticipating her release.
Suddenly, there was a loud thud.
TBC...
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel...
Wow that was sad.. now the next chapter will be more happy, Sasuke commits his love and things are looking good.
