It's hard to tell the truth
It was a beautiful sunny, warm day. Sakura yawned as she got out of bed. Her daughter, Mai, was playing with her Dinosaur and Snail stuffed animals. Sakura went down the stairs and sat by her. "Here you go mommy! You can be Mr. Dino!" Mai gave Sakura the dinosaur stuffed animal. "Roar! I'm going to get you Mr. Snail!" Sakura pretended. "Mai, I have to go to work, the housekeeper can play with you!" "Okay mommy!" Mai replied. The housekeeper ran over to Mai and pretended to be the dinosaur. When Sakura got all dressed, and walked out the door, she lost balance and toppled to the ground. "Great, now my jeans have dirt on them…" She complained. She brushed off most dirt and walked to the car. Once she was able to drive to work, her ankle started to throb in pain. She rubbed it. When she managed to walk all the way into the restaurant, she was in front of her boss. "Miss. Haruno, you're late!" "I-I'm sorry sir, I fell and I got into traffic on the way here." "Nice excuses GET TO WORK!" He yelled. Sakura didn't like people who bossed her around. She nodded her head and went to an empty cash resister counter. Once the day was over, everyone was exhausted. When the restaurant closed, everyone was able to leave except Sakura. She had to wash all the dishes that were used. When she was done, her fingers looked like prunes. "I am truly sorry that I was late and for the excuses I said." "Thank you Miss. Haruno, you may be dismissed." Sakura took off her apron and headed home. All the streets were quiet. The moonlight beamed down on her car roof. When she got home, no lights were on except the t.v. Sakura took off her sneakers and walked over to Mai. The t.v. was on mute Sakura turned off the t.v. and carried Mai up the stairs. She put her in bed and covered her little body. "Goodnight princess" Sakura whispered to Mai. Sakura tumbled onto her bed and sighed heavily. "Today was a hard day!"She thought to herself." Mommy." Sakura darted up onto her bed. "Sweetie! Its 11:45, what are you doing awake?" "I had a bad dream…" "Oh, come here. You're okay." She rubbed Mai's back.
The next day was Saturday. Sakura woke up to another sunny morning. She walked down the stairs, yawning. Mai hugged Sakura. "Do you want Lucky Charms or Eggs?" Sakura asked Mai. "Lucky Charms! I want them because they make me lucky ALL day!" "Oh is that it? Oh no! We're almost out of lucky charms!" Sakura said as she poured the cereal and milk into the pink bowl. "Honey, I'm going to get dressed and going to the grocery store, okay?" "Yeah mommy!" Mai replied. When Sakura reached her room, she put on some demin jeans and a white t-shirt. She put her short hair in two pigtails. She put on white sock, sneakers, and sunglasses and ran out the house when she got into her car, her phone rang. "Hello?" "Hi!" "Who is this?" "It's me Deidara!" "Oh my gosh, Dei?" "Yeah…" "Where are you?" Sakura asked. "I'm at the Akatsuki Headquarters, I just went past your name in the phonebook to call my brother." "Oh, I miss you guys!" Sakura spoke. "Me too, why not visit us sometime?" "Oh, we sure will!" "We? Are you married or something?" "No, I haven't told you yet, I adopted a little girl name Mai." "Oh, I see." Deidara said. "What's wrong Dei?" "Oh nothing, just thinking, so when are you going to visit?" He asked "Tomorrow." "Sounds great, bye!" "Bye." Sakura turned off her phone and looked and it. She drove off to the grocery store, still thinking of Deidara. When she got back into the house, Mai was playing with her dolls. "Mai, get your toys and clothes in your suitcase! We're going to see a friend tomorrow!" "YAY! I love trips!" Mai ran up the stairs and finally came back down with her pink suitcase. "Did you eat lunch honey?" "Yeah, I made cheese and milk!" "Good girl, go play now" Mai ran to the computer and played an educational game. Sakura looked through the mail, there was only junk.
