Hello dere (:
I actually like how this ones going so far, hope you do too. Well, enjoy!
Sakura knew she should be happy. Happy that her pears were accepting her again and willing to try to make her feel better. But something about the reason why they were was nagging at the back of her mind. They were only doing this because they had pity for her, Sakura noted mentally. Sakura didn't want to be the sad girl for the rest of her high school year. She wished so much she could go back to being the girl she used to be, to change things so she could be the girl she aspired to be. Four years ago, she would have said she'd be in medical school and still in love with Sasuke. Now, she feels the burden of those thoughts. It feels like their mocking her, laughing at her misery. Sakura forced a few bites of food down, but was very quiet. She listened to her friends talking and wished she could be as happy as they were.
"Sakura-chan, you feeling better?" Naruto asked, looking up at her while taking a sip of his drink. Sakura gave a curt nod.
"Yes, I was just carsick I suppose," Sakura said lightly, smiling a bit. Her eyes wandered over to Sasuke who had grown quiet, eating without even looking at Sakura. She knew he felt her looking at him, he got tense. She turned away and took another bite of her food, even though she didn't want anymore. Part of her, her more sadistic side, wanted to bug him more and more until he exploded. Just lost it like she had while he just stood there and watched.
"Naruto gets sick as a dog in the car. He had a blue slushy one day, it was everywhere!" Ino giggled, Naruto chuckled and Sakura found herself giggling along as well. Sasuke's gaze flickered to Sakura's smiling face, like a deaf person hearing sound again for the first time. She wondered so much what was going through his mind, no matter how many times she forced herself to not care. She wanted to know how he felt after all this time. Did he care anymore? Did he forget?
Sasuke drove Sakura home. The ride was quiet from start to finish. She undid her seatbelt and her hand froze on the door handle.
"Sasuke. Can I ask you something?" Sakura soft voice haunted him, his hands gripped the steering wheel and she took this as an okay.
"Why didn't you help me?"
She watched as a muscle in his jaw jumped, his knuckles turning snow white the tighter his grip was on the wheel.
"I'll see you at school." Was all he said. Her green eyes lingered on him for a moment before opening her door and slamming it shut. She walked to her house and heard his tires nearly screech as he took off. She walked into her house and held her breath, expecting something to happen to her. But nothing did.
Sasuke Uchiha
9:09 PM
He vowed to himself the next time he saw her, he'd speak his mind. Every time he saw her though, his words would freeze in his throat. He missed her laughter, her smiles. Seeing her on the first day felt like a stab in the chest for him. He couldn't take it for much longer. It was eating away at him.
~Flashback~
"Sasuke! Please!"
Move, move! Help her…
"Sasuke…."
I'm only 13, what the hell am I supposed to do?
I can't watch this…
Don't leave, Sasuke. Grab a knife or something!
She screamed his name, he rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, stabbing it as deep as he could into the mans back, up to the hilt. The man swung back and Sasuke ducked before he could deliver any kind of blow to his head. The man rushed from the house, leaving Sakura on the bed and the knife buried in his back. Sasuke got up, Sakura was asleep. Or unconscious, he couldn't tell but she was breathing. Just barely.
I have to leave…I can't…
~End~
Sasuke laughed at himself, his memory serving him wrong once again. He's suffered some memory loss, just as Sakura had. Both must have been hit in the head, Sasuke wasn't sure. His mind made up stories to help him cope, but it never helped. He knew he could lie to himself over and over…but the truth was buried somewhere under all the ugly lies.
He had this feeling Sakura knew. Did she really suffer memory lost like he did? Was she lying about it, why would she? What if Sakura decided to tell everyone the truth?
Sasuke got out of his car.
Whatever that truth was, something in his gut told him he'd rather die than know what it was.
Don't forget to review!
