~Runaway Love

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. How I wish.

Prologue:

Sakura Haruno can't stop but feel fragile in front of the raging questions from the crowd. Her emerald eyes watched with uncertainty and so are the people around her that started to panic. Like in slow motion, her emerald eyes watched as the man of her life created distance between the both of them and so was her best friend; Yamanaka Ino. They were trying to escape... Holding each other's hands.

Her heart dropped at the sight and it broke into so many pieces, scattering and slowly wilting just like the bouquet that dropped dead on the church's floor. She was stoned to where she was standing and couldn't fully process what was happening.

Well, everyone knew what was happening. Her mind even told her that but her heart refused to listen.

The ones closest to her started to get frenzy while others commanded the others to follow the cause of all this. She felt her knees ready to give up on the weight of her body just like how her heart fell because of the weight of pain it carried. The next thing she knew is that her beautiful mother ran to her side and held her close.

"No, this is not happening." She muttered, voice broken with despair that was already suffocating her. Strangling her. Wanting her dead on the ground. Bleeding.

But oh, Sakura... It is happening…

Sakura removed the veil that was covering her face from the sight to where her supposed to be groom ran off. Her emerald eyes glittered with unshed tears and her make-up couldn't hide the pain on the surface of her gorgeous face. The fangs of grief started to devour her but she would not give in. No. She's strong.

"Sakura, everything's going to be alright. I promise, dear." She heard her mother's soothing voice yet there's sadness in those eyes. Tears flow from them and it pained her all the more. Her mother held her closer. Letting her feel that she wouldn't be left behind by the people who really love her.

And really, how can she ever believe that everything's going to be alright when she knew all too well that her fiancé ran off with her Maid of Honor who was supposed to be her best friend?

Talk about demoralizing. She felt lower than dirt at the moment. She felt pathetically useless and naive.

Sai. Her dreams, her wishes of a happy marriage with him... It was all wasted. Thrown away to the abyss of nothingness. She wanted to have a family with a guy that had a thing for her best friend? Now, that's stupid.

No..

Worse than stupid.

It stings. Stings to be betrayed by two persons she loved and treasured. Sai was the man she had seen her life with and Ino was like her savior. And she loved the blonde like her own sister.

She wanted to cry her heart out but being the Haruno Sakura she was... It was something she wouldn't do because she's strong. But what's the use of being strong if you can't even stop and grasp full control of the situation?

All the noise around her was muted by one thought; could she even live a life without the both of them?

She clutched her chest as she tried to foresee how she can even live a day without Sai in her life…

Author's Note: Hello, guys! :) This is my first story to be ever published here and I'm still having a nervous breakdown from the mere fact that I'm actually posting up a story! :) I'm a member here for years but I didn't have the courage to post things up.

So how was the story? Good? Bad? :) I'm open for all reviews. Tell me what you think, I'd be happy enough to know from you all. :)
