Chapter 1- Cold Feet
The pianist sat cheerfully at his piano, and began the wedding song that was played at most traditional weddings.
The church was decorated with stain glass windows and rows upon rows of benches all facing the alter where the colourfully dressed priest stood proudly.
Facing him was a tall man with jet black spiky hair and wearing a pure black suit with the pokeball- I mean the Uchiha crest on the back of it. Ahem. He stood confidently waggling his finger in time to the music.
Before Sakura knew what was happening her father was tapping her on her shoulder signalling her to start walking with him. Ino and Tenten were following them in their light pink dresses and Hinata followed them oblivious to Sakura's nerves.
Every step was like a mile for Sakura, as worries began to furiously kick in and she felt like she was going to faint. Poor Sasuke was feeling rather pleased that he had finally found his dream wife like no other.
The song finished and Sakura felt like she was going to be sick. She was standing next to the man she was meant to marry who didn't know thing about how she was feeling. It seemed only yesterday he had asked to marry her.
The sun was setting and the sky was a burnt orange like no other. Sakura sat calmly next to Sasuke on the soft sand staring at the beautiful blue ocean ahead. Their favourite spot, it was only right that Sasuke popped the question there. He got down on one knee and spoke softly unlike his normal grunting tone. "Sakura…" she sat up from her lying position and turned to face Sasuke, who was holding a glistening ring with an opal jewel placed on the golden coating. "Marry me Sakura." His tone was calm but almost demanding, catching Sakura off guard. Her eyes widened in shock but Sakura smiled at him "Of course Sasuke, I love you." She whispered. They held hands and watched the sun set.
What would her parents say if they knew how ungrateful Sakura was and having second thoughts on marrying the rich and handsome Sasuke? She was lost in thought until the priest said "Sakura Haruno, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Sakura tried to speak, but her throat went dry and she didn't know what to do. All of her friends and family were leaning in waiting for her answer. "I... can't." she cried and she dropped her bouquet of flowers and hurried out of the church. Just before she pushed her way through the doors she caught a glimpse of Sasuke slowly picking up the flowers she dropped.
