Stand Through It All

Chapter 2

-Sakura's POV-

After a whole week of being in the hospital, I was finally allowed to go home. At first, I was really happy. But then I remembered. My whole family was dead; I had no home, only an empty house to come back to. Home is where the family is, but my whole family was dead… so where was my home?...

As I sit in the hospital bed eating my breakfast, which consists of many different kinds of juicy fruit and some delicious warm waffles with strawberry jam (which by the way, is way better than the hospital food that the, what my father always would call them, "commoners", gets when they are In the hospital) a man suddenly walks inside the room. He has short, slightly curly dark hazelnut brown hair, along with boring brown eyes, that almost completely matches his hair in color. He is tall, lean and not very muscular. Actually he is just plain boring to look at.

He closes the door, after walking inside the hospital room, and sits down in one of the chairs. Then he looks at me, and says.

"Hello, my name is Haijimi Takeru. And you are Haruno Sakura, are you not?" I slowly nodded my head while looking at him a little suspiciously. I am, or I guess, I was, the daughter of one of the world's riches families to ever be alive. Now that my whole family is dead, I own everything my family once owned, which means I'm now one of the riches people in the whole world. This also means that this isn't the first time some stranger has come to the hospital, asking for my whereabouts, it has actually happened, at least once every day, since the day I woke up from my coma. Which as a result have made me pretty cranky towards visitors, who are people I don't know.

"Not to be rude or anything, but what the hell do you want?" I asked, giving him my best blank completely emotionless look which I achieved some days ago, after getting into a very bad argument with one of the visitors I've been receiving.

I think the argument was something about him trying to force me into marrying his oldest son, since I'm now all alone, and; "An unstable, little girl, who needs support in her time of need" I believe his word choice was…

God I was angry!

That bastard was only after my money, and he tried to use my now dead family against me, to weaken me enough for him to deceive me. Ha, to bad for him, that my parents thought it was very important for me to be able to read people, so they wouldn't be able to do the exact same thing, he was trying to do to me.

"Yes, I'm Haruno Sakura. Now what do you want from me?" I asked in a harsh tone. He looked at me and smiled, his eyes showing a kind of warmth I didn't completely understand.

"As I said before, my name is Haijimi Takeru, and I'm here to talk to you, about what you are going to do now. You know since the accident and everything it is important for me to know what you want to do, so I can support you and help you anyway possible." He said to me, his eyes still having the same warmth in them.

I thought about what he just said. Turning my head to look outside the window, I noticed that it was raining. I couldn't hide the little sad smile showing on my lips. The rain seems to show exactly what I am feeling.

It took me a while before I decided on an answer, but when I did, I was sure that it was what I wanted.

"I'm gonna head to the mansion, pack all the things that hold any kind of importance to me, and then I'm going to sell the mansion and buy an apartment." I answered him while turning back towards him. He looked at me for a little while before he finally decided to voice the question that he so clearly wanted to ask.

"Are you sure about that? I mean, it's your home, it holds all your memories, don't you think you're going to regret it?" He asked, his eyes showing that he absolutely didn't understand my decision at all. I just shook my head no.

"Takeru-san, I'm a teenage girl, whose family just died. Do you really think I want to live in that big mansion, clearly build for a family, all alone?" I asked him, while raising one of my eyebrows. I could see the understanding dawning in his eyes.

"No, of course not Sakura-san. But do you need help, regarding the moving and everything?" He then asked, and again I shook my head no.

"I believe, I can manage on my own Takeru-san." I just said in an apathetic tone of voice, while looking at him, my eyes silently telling him that I would like for him to leave now. He looked a little flustered and I couldn't help but hold in a little laugh.

"Of course Sakura-san, then I will be leaving now. Goodbye Sakura-san, and have a good day." He said while standing up from the chair. I said goodbye, and he left. I kept staring at the door he walked out of for a few moments, before turning back to my forgotten breakfast, which now lay cold on my lap. I sighed while pushing away the plate, my appetite completely destroyed after talking about my dead family. I turned towards the window and saw myself in the reflection of the glass. As I looked at myself I saw a single tear, slowly making its way down my cheek. I lifted my right hand up to my cheek, and dried away the tear.

Time skip

As I stood outside the house, or more like mansion, I couldn't help thinking about all the happy memories of me and my family. I felt like crying. I haven't really allowed myself to cry over their deaths yet, and now after a whole week of holding in my emotions, it just felt like I was gonna break down crying any moment now.

I fell down to my knees, and it didn't take long for the tears to begin to run down my cheeks in steady streams. I cried for my dead family. I cried for my friends, who have left me. Betrayed me! But most of all, I cried for myself. I'm alone now. My family is dead and I only have a few friends left… what am I supposed to do now?

That's it for now! I will try to update sooner, but no promises :D
