Okay so as you can tell I haven't updated either of my stories in ages. :( There hadnt been any reviews or anyone telling me that i should continue the story so i just stopped all together. But lately ive gotten back into writing a new story cause i was bored out of my mind so i decided that i will finish these stories and post them. Its a bit depressing that there is no reviews cause those were what made me write to begin with but oh well. So I will stop boring you now and let you get on with the chapter...which i have had written, along with 4 other chapters, ever since i first started writing this story. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 3

I gazed longingly at the passing scenery as the car drove down the highway. I was still spacing out every now and then so since I wanted to keep my car Jason decided that it would be smart if he drove my car. Chris was driving in the police cruiser in front of us with one of his buddies and I was really bored.

It had been three hours since we left Sarnia and we still had another hour or two ahead of us. I had already gone through every song on my IPod and let me tell you, that is a lot of songs. Since I was so bored and it seemed like Jason wasn't even going to talk to me, not that I was planning on talking to him anyways, I decided to fall asleep for the rest of the ride.

The dreams I had made me sweat and I woke up screaming. I think I startled Jason because the car swerved a bit but then went back to normal. Jason was looking at me with wide eyes and started to ask a hundred and one questions.

"What happened? Are you all right? Was it a bad dream? Are you going to answer any of these questions?" All of this was said in a rush and I almost didn't hear him because I was still trying to decipher what was real and what wasn't.

"It was nothing." I mumbled as I leaned my head against the window and stare out the front window. He knew that I was lying but he didn't say anything else as I stared lifelessly out the window at nothing in particular.

Within 5 minutes we pulled off of the highway and after another 5 minutes we had pulled up into a driveway. I guess it was my aunt's house but really I wouldn't know because I have never met her before.

I cautiously stepped out of the car and looked at the two-story house standing in front of me as Chris, Jason, and the other officer walked up to the door. I continued to look around and I noticed that everyone was out of their houses and standing on their lawns staring at me and the police officers and wondering what the heck was going on.

'Great…I will be living next to extremely nosy neighbours.' I thought miserably as I slowly walked up to the house where the 3 officers and my aunt were standing watching me closely.

"Sakura, this is your Aunt Tsunade. You will be living with her from now on." said Chris but he almost seemed relieved that he no longer had to put up with me.

I just nodded my head.

"Ok Sakura we need to talk to your aunt for a bit so why don't you head back to the car for a bit and maybe get your bags out?" Jason asked as he looked at me with pity. He must be thinking about what happened in the car but for crying out loud I DON'T want his pity! I don't want ANYONES pity!

I glared at him but I did as I was told. When I reached the car, I grabbed my bags out of my trunk and waited impatiently for them to return to the cars.

When they finally came back Jason gave me my car keys and bid me goodbye along with Chris and the other officer. Then they left and I was glad because then I would never have to see them and their pitying looks ever again.

I must have spaced out because now there was a voice that was repeatedly calling out my name.

I looked up at the person and realized that it was my aunt and scarily enough she had quite a few resemblances to my father.

She had long blonde hair that was up in a ponytail with bangs framing her face and piercing hazel eyes. She was actually very pretty and young looking for a person who had to be in her late 40s.

I instantly froze up and spaced out again when I realized that she was my father's little sister. Hopefully she was nothing like he had been. I didn't need any more torture in my life nor did I need any more pain.

"Sakura? Sakura? Sakura you there? Earth to Sakura!" exclaimed Tsunade as she waved her hands frantically in my face.

I blinked and for a moment I had a scared look in my eyes but it was quickly replaced by a cold and calculating look. Unfortunately she saw that short look of insecurity and had a look on her face that screamed pity.

I screamed a frustrated scream. "Stop with the pitiful looks! I don't need your pity! For crying out loud I don't need anyone's pity!"

Against my will, my eyes started to fill up with tears and at this moment I broke down from all of the pressure and I couldn't stop myself from showing my vulnerability. I sunk onto the ground and just cried all the tears that wouldn't come out earlier.

Luckily everyone that had been standing outside earlier had disappeared and I don't know how or why but I don't care because then there was only one person seeing me like this instead of a whole neighbourhood.

Next thing I know there was someone else kneeling on the ground beside me and had started to hug me. I knew from the start that it was my aunt but I took this time to enjoy the comfort of a loving hug. I realized at this point that maybe it wouldn't be so bad living with this lady and maybe I could learn to love her as family but at this point I decided that it was useless to not talk so from now on I was going to talk and maybe even put up a cheerful mask.

Okay so thats chapter 3. I hope you guys enjoyed it and please review because it will make me feel much happier, the stories will hopefully get better with some nice criticism, and the chapters will be posted much faster. :D
