Title: You Know You Love Me

Chapter: Four "You're Not Sorry."

---

So, looks like I've dug up some dirt on what happened yesterday. Turns out S&S are over. After our favorite little pinkette went out for comfort drinks with her bestie. -insert a scoff here- yeah, right. With the help of a fellow gossiper, it seems that I is the cause of their break up. Now, I'm no rocket scientist, but on New Years everyone was at T's End of the Year bash (even me). But not the following people: cherry blossom, S & I. Of course, we all think that S&S are ringing in the New Year their own way (if you catch my drift), but turns out cherry blossom was out of the continent! So that leaves S&I all alone. But what force of nature could bring these two together, right? They hate each other…Well…their parents don't. Looks like the two major businesses have merged. What better way to get on your co-owner's good side than some bubbly on the New Year?

And now that we all know its over between the two S's, and the cause was I. That leaves us with one question…

Are S&I going to get together or what?!

Sakura fumed as she read Gossip Girl. The pink haired girl wanted to announce it to all her friends; she wanted that headline to say that she broke up with Sasuke. She took in a deep breath and pulled her hair up, tying it with a black hair band, and closing her eyes. Bright side, everyone would think Ino was a whore. Granted, it didn't say they had sex, but it was implied.

Her iPhone began to vibrate in her hand. She opened her eyes and looked at the caller.

Kar!n

"Hey." Sakura said and plopped down on her bed.

"S!" Karin voice came. "Say it isn't so!"

Sakura sighed. "If you're referring to Gossip Girl, she's right. Sasuke and I are over."

The pinkette bit her tongue and held back her tears.

"When, why, where?!"

"It's all on Gossip Girl, K."

"Last night? At the Bentley? Cause of Ino?"

"Yes, yes, and…I guess."

"You guess?!"

Sakura pulled he phone away fro her ear and hit the speaker.

"I don't know, Karin." Sakura answered and rolled onto her side, looking at the picture of Sasuke and her at 8th grade prom.

"Well, what are you going to do?"

Sakura stayed quiet and continued looking at the photo. Her hair was down and straightened. Her black dress reached above her knees and a pink sash tied under her breasts.

"God, I loved that baby doll dress." She murmured.

"What?"

Sakura looked at her phone; she had forgotten Karin was there.

"I'm sorry, I spaced. What did you say?"

"I asked," Karin sounded annoyed. "What are you going to do?"

Sakura looked back at the picture. She and Sasuke looked perfect. They fit as if they were made for each other.

"I'm going to get her back." Sakura answered, not taking her eyes off the photo.

Ino took in a deep breath as she read Gossip Girl. She usually didn't care what the anonymous blogger had to say, but then again, that was because she had been wrong…sometimes.

The one thing that caught her eye was the last line.

Are S&I going to get together or what?!

Ino sat down on her bed, and re-read the whole 'article'. She jumped as she heard her bedroom door bang open. She looked up at the brunette bun haired girl who stood at her door frame. Her hair was slightly a mess, no doubt she ran here from where ever she was at.

Tenten pulled her sunglasses off her face and perched them on top of her head.

"Oh, Ino." The chocolate eyed girl cried. "I started running as soon as I read the first line."

Ino nodded, sadly.

Tenten sat next to the blonde and hugged her.

"It's gonna work out." Tenten soothed and made comforting circles on the blue eyed girls back.

Ino leaned on Tenten shoulder and shook her head. "It wont. Sakura won't ever talk to me."

"Don't say that. Didn't she sleep with your first boyfriend?"

Ino chuckled. "That was so long ago."

"So?" Tenten asked. "She still did. Now you're even."

"But that's different."

"How?" Tenten pulled the girl away and looked her in the eyes. "How is it different?"

"When Sakura slept with my first boyfriend, she really liked him."

"So, you're saying you don't like your first boyfriend anymore?" Tenten asked, not wanting to mention his name before Ino did.

Ino huffed. "I don't."

"But you slept with him when he was Sakura's boyfriend."

Ino looked down. "I'm a bad friend." She murmured.

"Hey, hey, hey." Tenten tipped the Yamanaka's chin up. "You are not a bad friend."

Ino stayed silent.

"Who was the girl that ran to the pharmacy to get me pregnancy tests when I did it with Neji?" Tenten asked, and Ino laughed.

"I was on Gossip Girl for weeks."

"Who was the girl who sacrificed her favorite black sweat pants when I had my period, and we had to run to the store to get tampons?"

Ino smiled.

"Who was the girl," TenTen's eyes softened. "Who was the girl who held my hand, who hugged me, who let me sleep in her own bed when my mother died?"

Ino looked down again. "Who was the girl who spilt up her best friend's relationship?" Ino asked.

"Yamanaka Ino, I-"

I've been giving out chances, and all you do is let me down

Brown and Blue looked at the Yamanaka's Blackberry.

SasuKe

Tenten looked at her. "Pick it up."

"What?" Ino looked as if they has just tasered her. "No way! His break up was just posted on Gossip Girl!"

Tenten sighed, hit the green button, and held it out to the Yamanaka who shook her head.

"Fine." Tenten whispered. Ino sighed, thinking the brunette was going to hang up.

"Hi there, Uchiha."

Ino's eyes widened as she watched Tenten put the phone to her ear.

"Tenten!" Ino whispered harshly. "Hang up that phone now!"

Tenten put it on speaker and smiled at the Yamanaka.

"Tenten?" The Uchiha asked.

"That's right." The bun haired girl singsonged.

"I thought I called Ino…"

"Oh, you did." Ino glared at the brunette. "She's in the shower right now."

"Has she read Gossip Girl?"

"Oh gee," Ino rolled her eyes at TenTen's new word. "I wouldn't know."

"You think you could ask her?"

"Sure!"

Ino shook her head.

"Hey, Ino." Tenten smiled. "Have you read Gossip Girl?"

The Yamanaka pursed her lips. Tenten knew she wouldn't answer.

The brunette huffed. "She must not be able to hear me."

"Have you read Gossip Girl?"

"Yes."

"Then…" The Uchiha trailed off.

"I'm listening." Tenten urged.

"Could you tell her that its not her fault."

"Okay."

"And that Sakura and I were doomed from the start."

Ino blinked, Sakura had said that last night.

"Alright." Tenten answered.

"And that she shouldn't feel bad."

"Got it."

"And that I'm sorry for putting her through this."

"Jesus, Uchiha. That's a lot."

"Sorry." he apologized. "Can you remember all that?"

Tenten looked at the blonde. "I think I could tell her all that."

"Okay. Thank you, Tenten."

"No problem, Sasuke."

She was about to hit the End Call button when he spoke up.

"And!"

Tenten sighed. "Uh-huh."

"That I'm sorry. For what happened so long ago. With Sakura."

Ino's eyes widened.

"When we were together."

Tenten looked at the blonde girl whose eyes began to tear.

"Okay. I'll tell her. Bye Sasuke."

"Bye Tent-"

Sasuke sighed as he set his phone down. Naruto patted his shoulder.

"You did the right thing."

"No, I didn't." The Uchiha shook his head.

"Sasuke, you apologized-"

"I shouldn't have started this." He interrupted. "I shouldn't have slept with Sakura when Ino and I were together. I shouldn't have slept with Ino when Sakura and I were together. I shouldn't have done a lot of things."

"You can go back." Naruto sighed. "You can only move forward."

Sasuke looked at the blonde boy. "You're right." he stood up and began walking toward the door.

"Hey!" Naruto called. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to move forward. Starting with Haruno Sakura." The Uchiha answered and left.
