False Hopes
Chapter 1
She didn't know where she'd run to. Probably where her parents wouldn't look. If they found out she was gone, that is. So she ended up at her school field. I mean, who would look for their teenage daughter at a school on summer break? Fortunately for her, the school was always opened on school days. She went to open the school doors and walked through the doorway. She had one place in mind where she would visit. The music room.
This is where she spent most of her time. Listening to music, writing music, singing, and playing various instruments. She walked behind the the teachers desk and towards a cupboard, opening it up and carefully retracting her hand with an acoustic guitar held firmly. With the guitar in hand, she walked back into the middle of the room, placing it in a stand, walking back to get a pick. She stood with the guitar rested in your hands, having already put the strap over her shoulder. She looked up at the ceiling wondering what she should play.
Sakura's P.O.V
I plucked a few chords, finally deciding what I should play. This song didn't really have much of a quitar part. More violin, piano and drums. So I started off with a few chords, and starting singing, louder and louder, gaining confidence.
"Wake up to sunny day,
Not a clowd up in the sky,
Then it starts to rain.
My defences hit the ground,
And they shatter all around,
So open and exposed.
I found strength in the struggle,
Face to face with my trouble."
Even though I love to sing, and when I do, it's when i'm most happy, especially considering all that's going on with my family, I couldn't find it in me to smile. The song is so sad. But entails some of my hope for when this is all over.
"When your broken,
In a million little peices,
And your tryin' but you cant hold on anymore,
Every tear falls down for a reason.
Don't you stop believin' in yourself when your broken.
Little girl don't be so blue,
I know what your goin' through,
Don't let it beat you up,
Hittin walls and gettin scars,
Only makes you who you are,
...Only makes you who you are,"
I closed my eyes, still singing really getting more into the lyrics of the song that reprisented me so much at the moment.
"No matter how much your heart is aching,
There is beauty in the breaking,
yeaaaahhhh~
When your broken in a million little peices,
And your trying but you can't hold on anymore,
Every tear falls down for a reason,
Don't you stop believin' in yourself,
When your broken.
Better days are gunna find you once again,
Every peice wll find it's place.
When your broken in a million little peices,
And your tryinin but you can''t hold on anyomore,
Don't you stop believin' in yourself.
When your broken~"
As my voice faded off, i sighed slightly. The song just.. mjade me want to sing more right now. But nothing else fit the mood of what I want to sing. It was all thrown out of my mind when i felt a hand on my head, and soft clapping. (A/N: cliche' I know.. but still... :3 forgive me? I'll give you fuzzy peaches.) I didn't open my eyes, already figuring out who it was, once they applied a small kiss to the crown of my head. "What are you doing here?" I spoke quietly. "I was on my way home, when I watched my baby sister jump out of her window, and hit the ground running. So, of course I followed her to see what she was up to." Sasori, my older brother replied just as quietly as myself. "So may I ask how Deidara got here as well?" The guitar, missing from my hands, would have been smashed had I still held it. I opened my eyes, and smiled slightly, before hittting Deidara over the head. "don't glomp me again, ya idiot." I scolded teasingly. I was rewarded with a whine. "But Saku-chaaaan~ I missed youuu~ un." My brothers blonde best friend exclaimed while nuzzling his face into my hair.
You see, My brother isn't much older than me, trully, he's only about 8 minutes older than me. If you don't understand that, It means he's my older, twin, brother. So insted of it being like we had different groupes of friends, we normally hung out with the same people. The Akatsuki. That's what they like to call themselves. To outsiders, they seem like a fearsome group of misfits, but if they let you get to know them, they resemble giant, cuddly, loveable teddy bears. Don't get me wrong, I also have other friends, it's just I practically live with these guys in their huge house. Same with Sasori. But that entails an explanation for later on, Becuase right now, Deidara is still laying ontop of me. The weight that was Deidara (muscle by the way. Not fat. That thing doesnt have a fat bone on his body. All of them are lazy though..) was lifted off of me, kicked, really, to the side courtesy of Sasori's foot. A pale hand was offered to me. I took it, and was pulled up quickly. I looked down at the ground, seeing Deidara not there, but over in a corner, crying and being the emo-teddy bear that he so secretly is.
Disregarding Deidara, Sasori grabbed my hand, and we walked out of the music room and into the hallway. " So, want to tell me the reason you jumped out of your bedroom window, that's on the second floor?" Sasori asked, glaring slightly at me. "You should know the answer to that. They wont stop fighting. I can't stand being there in my room, listening to them. It shouldn't BE like that. We are supposed to be a family... It wasn't supposed to get so messed up. Especially because of a stupid, stupid mistake dad made." Sasori knew I was trying not to cry. I knew I shouldn't cry. We both knew I would anyhow. Tears started slipping from my eyes. Because of the un-fairness of it all. Because it wasn't our faults, but it was our lives being screwed up as well. I was pulled into a hug, two sets of strong arms surrounding me instead of one. They wouldn't talk. They both knew I hated crying. And hated pity. They both knew i deserved to just cry it out, but wouldn't let me cry alone.
I felt tired soon, tucking my neck into my brother, and best friend's shoulder, I dozed off, thankful for the peacful quiet that could never be found at my house.(Not a home. Never a home ever since our family started falling apart). I could vaguely feel myself being lifted up and the slight sway of my brother walking outside, and towards Deidara's car. I knew, even if it was just in the subconscious part of my mind, that I wouldn't be waking up in house full of the yells of my parents, but in a home full of my closest friends, Trying to keep me as safe as they could from the outside world I have to face constantly.
