Hey, I know it hurts to watch me leave. But say it ain't so, how could you ever replace me? You're so shy when you wanna be standing in front of me, mind spinning in circles you're waiting to speak. These hands waiting in front of me anxiously waiting to see how it's gonna be. Before you go let me remind you what you're waiting for. Before you go, could you love me just a little bit more. One more time.
Pictures and Polaroids – Sleeping With Sirens.
"I'm Sakura Haruno and I'm 19 years old. I like to drink, and I only smoke when I'm extremely stressed. I don't do drugs, and I love to sing. I play guitar, drums, piano, flute, violin and harp. I don't have any parents because they threw me out when I was only 13. I've lived with my best friend Naruto ever since. Sleeping With Sirens is my favorite band." Upon that last little sentence the girl looked up at Sasori.
Sasori smiled. "My band. But, Ino told me that your parents taught you to be very well mannered...?" His voice trailed off.
Sakura hung her head low. "Well, we refer parents to Naruto's family. They've been my backbone and without them or Naruto, I'd probably be dead by now.." The girl looked up to stare into Sasori's clueless face. She sighed. "My mom was a crack addict and my father was never really around. My mom often left me home alone while she slept with different men to ease her own pain. And finally, one time my father came home last and caught my mom sleeping with someone else in their bed." She looked at Sasori. "He shot the man, raped my mom and chased me out of the house." The girl sat in silence. "I haven't talked to either of them since. All I know is that my father is dead. He was shot one day while out drinking.."
Sasori stared at her. "Sakura...I'm so sorry.." His voice trailed off.
Sakura sent back a reassuring smile as him. "It's fine. I'm just glad that I have Naruto now, and everything is going to be okay. In fact, everything is okay. There's only two things in my life that I haven't accomplished now. Everything is off that list."
The boy gave a war smiled and asked. "What was everything on that list?" A wide grin came across his face.
Sakura's cheeks blushed as she smiled. "Well, first off meeting you." She looked at him and their eyes met. "Publish a song and have a hit. Meet Jonathan Kellerman. And go to Shoreline City. It's my dream to go there." Her gaze lightened up and she leaned back.
Sasori leaned back as well and smiled. "Well, I grew up in Shoreline." He paused. " My folks live there. You know, I haven't seen them in a few months. I mean with all the touring and everything. I owe them a visit." He smiled and placed his hand upon Sakura's. "Who better to bring than you?" Upon that Sakura's face lit up.
She leaned in once again. "You really want me to go with you? Seriously!" Her smile was bigger than ever.
The boy nodded his head and he blushed. The room remained silent for a few minutes until Sasori finally found the words to say. "Sakura Haruno." He paused when his gaze caught hers. "I like you. Everything about you. The way you look, your voice, your personality and the way your smile lights up a room." Sasori watched as Sakura rubbed her lips together and her cheeks became an even deeper shade of red. "Everything about you is amazing."
Sasori smiled and slid off the bar stool. He walked around the counter and met Sakura. She was much shorter than him, so he had to look down at her. Slowly he grasped her hand, and intertwined their fingers together. Her face grew an even darker red. Slowly he placed his other hand beneath her chin and tiled her face in an upward position. And he slowly kissed her. It was magical. Like meeting the love of your life for the first time.
Take Me With You. Take Me With You. Take Me With You.
Ino grunted as a man roughly touched her. With every move he made the blonde woman let out a small sound.
Just as he was about to go down on her, the phone rang. His head shot up and her hand reached to the table. Upon reading the name her eyes grew wide and she held a finger to her mouth. Slowly she slid her finger across the screen and began to talk. "Hello?" She was breathing hard.
"Ino? Where are you? We had lunch plans baby. You won't text me back, what's going on?" The voice sounded worried and slightly sad.
The woman swallowed. "I uh." She paused and tried to think of something. "I got held up at Sakura's. The traffic has been hell and.." She paused once again. "I'm at the gas station!" She said blankly. The man at the end of the bed gave her an annoyed look. She shrugged and leaned back against the headboard.
"Why didn't you call though? I could have came and picked you up." His voice was now low.
"Because baby, I didn't want to have you swarmed in public. You know better than that Itachi. I couldn't have. I'll be there soon. I promise." She laid her head in her hands as the man stood up.
"Ino, I love you. The magazines know that we're together and if they know, then the whole world does. But, I guess I'll see you soon. I love you babe." Without replying Ino hung up the phone.
The blonde slowly looked up at the man now across the room. The pineapple ponytail on top of his head bobbed at the looked for a shirt. He gave up and turned to look at the girl on his bed. She was wearing a purple bra and her hair looked ratty. He sighed. "I'm not your little puppy Ino. And I'm not your bitch." He paused. "I can't do this anymore. End it with him, then come back to me." He threw a necklace at her.
The blonde yelled. "Your ending everything! Shikamaru please!" She picked up the necklace she'd gave him three months ago. Tears fell from her eyes. "I love you. Please at least keep the necklace."
The man grew annoyed. "I'm done with your lies. You tell him things when your with me. Your dating a rock star, yet your using me as a fuck buddy! I'm done. Keep your stupid necklace, I know that Itachi gave it to you. Now get dressed and get the hell out." Upon finishing he left. The room was silent until she heard his main apartment door slam shut.
Ino began to get ready with tears falling down her face. She put on the necklace as well as her purple leather dress and white heels. Quickly she left and made her way to her car. Once inside she laid her head on the steering wheel and cried. Her eyes burned.
Slowly she looked up at the mirror. Her makeup was gone and her eyes were red. She started to think of something to tell Itachi before she stopped and leaned back in her seat. She rubbed her face and spoke to herself, "Another to add to the million lies I've told." Was all she said before pulling out and away from the parking lot.
Take Me With You. Take Me With You. Take Me With You.
It was 8'o'clock when Itachi finally left the restaurant and began his drive home. He'd waited almost three hours and he was done waiting now. He took his time and sat in silence on the way home.
When he pulled into the drive way, he noticed the purple car in the street. Ino was here. He removed his glasses and wiped away the sting. He'd been crying while on his way home. Slowly he opened the car door, shut it than began the walk up the drive and to the house. He took a deep breath before turning the handle and making his way inside.
