Ugh! So long! Too long! Haha sorry I haven't wrote in a while but I hope you all enjoy the update! Remember the more reviews the sooner I will take out another update on the story
Sakura's POV
It was weird but I hated being separated from Sasuke. It felt like I needed him to breath.
"Hey Sakura let's go! We're gonna be late!" Sasuke called out to me from the front door.
I ran to the front door with my usual outfit; some ripped jeans, ripped shirt, and some old sneakers.
"Sorry, let's go." He held the door open for me.
Today was going to be out last practice before our very first gig. I was so nervous… what if I choke? I'm guessing Sasuke felt this. "What now?" He asked, I think I'm starting to become annoying to him. Maybe I should stop relaying on him so much.
"N-Nothing." I said not wanting to get him to hate me, there is only so much a human can take of me before they decide to abandon me … like everyone else. I can't have Sasuke be one of those people, I need him like I need air. He was the first person to be so kind to me and not want something out of me. I'm guessing he guessed my thoughts so he let the conversation drop.
"Ok everyone ready? One, two, one, two, three four," Sasuke said as he began to play his part to start the song. He never seized to amaze me in how great he was at playing; I closed my eyes and followed the rhythm of his guitar.
Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall
When it was us, together, playing a song, I feel like this is how it's suppose to be. All I need was Sasuke playing his guitar and I would sing with it.
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
You held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
Its burning to the ground
I don't want to be separated from him, I wonder what you call this feeling I'm feeling. Whatever it is I cannot tell Sasuke, I don't want to bother him with such trivial things. The music dances with my heart, it calls to it and comforts it. This is definitely what I want to fight for.
"Great job everyone." Shikamaru said.
"Hey Sakura did you write that song yourself?" Naruto asked.
"Yes… did you not like it?" I said guilty, maybe I need to work harder in writing lyrics.
"Naruto." Sasuke said sending a deadly glare at Naruto.
"No, it's fine. If what I'm writing isn't good enough please tell me! I don't want to hold you guys back." I said honestly.
"No Sakura that's not what I meant! The lyrics are awesome I was just going to tell you that you were doing a great job." He said raising his hands defensively.
"Oh… thank you." I said blushing.
"Well that was a great rehearsal, make sure to do this good when we are performing live." Neji said as he began to leave. "Take care Sakura." He said before leaving.
"Bye Neji!" I waved back.
Everyone else left too. Sasuke and I began to walk home.
"You ready for our show tomorrow?" He asked out nowhere, it kind of startled me.
"A-ah .. yes." I said but refused to look at him. I don't whether he noticed this or not, but he captivated me. But there is certain things I cannot talk to with him… or any of my band members. Maybe because they are all guys and sometimes I need friends that are girls in my life too…
"You don't even look like you are convincing yourself." He said and I couldn't help but look at him. He was looking directly at me and I became prisoner to his eyes, again. "What's going on Sakura?" He said as he looked away, and thanks to that I was able to break free.
"Nothing really, I'm just a little nervous this is going to be my first time doing this…" I said. It's always Sasuke that breaks our eye contact. I guess he really doesn't feel whatever it is I am feeling.
"I see, well don't worry about it," He said patting my head. "I'm sure we will do fine."
He seemed to pat my head a lot when I was feeling down, or doing something stupid, or something he found funny.
"Sakura are you almost ready?" Sasuke asked as I was changing only a few feet away from him with nothing but a changing-door thing in between us.
"Yes." I said walking out feeling a bit embarrassed. I didn't look like myself, I was wearing a tight shirt that hugged my body in a comfortable way, some tight jeans that for some reason allowed me to move more freely around, some converse Sasuke bought for me, and my hair was down.
When I walked out all the guy's eyes were on me, I thought that maybe I looked stupid in their eyes. My face burned with embarrassment and low self-esteem. I looked away to avoid their eyes.
"Sakura you look great!" Naruto shouted, he was the first one to comment me before the rest of them agreed.
"You guys are on." Said a man who walked in with a script in his hand.
We all began to walk out, we were standing next to the stage.
"Alright this is a new band, which I am proud to be introducing! Everyone put your hands together for Team 7!" (A/N: I know I know not very original .)
"Let's go." Sasuke said and we all walked out.
The crowd began to clap for us, it wasn't anything special they weren't dying to see us but at least it meant they were giving us a chance to see what we got. I can't mess this up, I can't let them down.
"How is everyone doing tonight?" Sasuke began to talk to the mike. The crowd cheered in response. "That's great! Well I hope you're ready to rock!"
With that Sasuke began to play his part. My heart began to beat so fast I thought I was going to faint. Control yourself! I thought. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes … I can do this, just listen to Sasuke's music.
Again it felt like I was stuck in some universe where only me and him existed, Once my part came on I began to sing, not caring weather I was good enough for them or not.
Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall
In that moment everything went quiet, I heard no one cheering or booing at us, just silence. The only sounds were our music
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
You held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
Its burning to the ground
Nothing seemed to make me happier at this moment. I wanted to sing and keep on singing forever.
Now I'm crying out Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
It seemed that everyone began to chant for us to cheer us on. Everyone was dancing to our music and yelling for us to keep going.
You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
These words can cut right through
Cause all along I've knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
I never thought I could feel so alive.
But now I won't forget Secret love, my escape
When we're together
Thoughts of them disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
It was over, I was gasping for air, the crowd went wild chanting "Team 7" and I felt alive. This feeling was so warm I wanted to keep it close to me always.
As we began to walk out of the stage they kept chanting "Team 7"
"That was great!" Naruto said happily. "We rocked!"
"You did great Sakura." Neji commented.
"Yea," Shikamaru agreed.
Before I had the chance to say anything or thank them I felt the room spinning and my vision got blurry and before I knew it I felt the floor hit my flesh.
I felt nearly every wound I had rip further a bit more but I couldn't talk.
"Sakura!" I heard them all say as I heard footsteps coming closer to me.
"We need to talk her to a hospital!" I heard Neji say, it was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
I woke up and saw five worried faces on me.
"Hello." I said as loud as I could I couldn't really talk to loud right now.
"What the hell was that!" They all said in unison, all except Sasuke. His face looked grave.
"I'm fine don't worry about it. Did I ruin the celebration we were going to have? I'm sorry."
"You're apologizing?" Shikamaru said shaking his head in disbelieve. That's when Neji stepped in.
"Did you know you had all these wounds all over your body?" well obviously. "Why didn't you tell us? Why do you have them to begin with? Who did this to you?"
So many questions I was feeling dizzy again.
"I'm sorry." Was all I could muster up to say at the moment.
"Sakura …" Sasuke said and all the attention was on him. His face looked as if he had just seen someone die in front of him.
"I need to tell them… this isn't something you can hide from them." I knew he was right, but that doesn't mean that I wanted him to tell them. I avoided looking into his eyes instead I focused on the ceiling. This was the one thing I didn't want them to know.
I felt the loss of blood taking its toll on me.
"Yes." Was all I said before I gave myself in to weariness, before I lost consciousness I felt a tear escape my eye, too tired to fight the rest that would follow I gave into misery.
Author's POV
They all watched as Sakura fell back into slumber after a couple of minutes Neji spoke up.
"So mind explaining things?"
Sasuke sighed and began the long painful story that is Sakura's life.
"Her father tried to…." At this his fist clenched and became whiter, if that was even possible. "He tried to rape her. So she ran away, and that's when I found her." He said avoiding their eyes, if it's one thing that an Uchiha has a lot of its pride. And his pride did not involve feeling sorry for someone like her.
'Someone like her.' He thought.
When he finally looked up to meet the guy's stares he saw anger, sadness, confusion, and pettiness all at the same time in all of their eyes.
"How.." Shikamaru began but never finished
"No way…" Naruto had anger all over his face.
They all looked at the girl they had just learned so much about. A feeling of pain swept over them.
'Is she ….' They all thought.
Neji placed his hand on her arm, he traced the scars and observed them.
"The scars …. Are fresh… and very …" He didn't want to say the last part but he spat it out. "Deep. It's a miracle she's alive."
None one else said anything, for the rest of the time they remained quiet. No one said a word they haven't even ate anything.
5 hours later
Sakura's eyes opened and she felt tension everywhere.
'Where am I?' she thought afraid to look where the source of all the tension was coming from.
Once she looked to the side she found all the guys staring at her with such worry and sad eyes.
She opened her mouth and was about to ask what was wrong when she remembered
I need to tell them… this isn't something you can hide from them. Sasuke's words rang clear in her head. She looked at Sasuke who refused to look at her. She closed her mouth as she understood.
"I'm fine." She said with a smile. Everyone in the room looked at her dumbfounded.
"Sakura … we .. know." Shikamaru said slowly choosing his words carefully.
"I know." Sakura said as she stood up straight and looked at her hands that contained so many scars. "I can tell by looking in your eyes … that you know. I'm sorry, I'm nothing but a bother." She said as if she actually believed it.
"You're not a bother! Don't … don't say things like that Sakura." Sai said.
'It seems they are all trying to comfort me… I need to show them that I'm ok.' She thought.
She looked up to them and smiled. "Let's get something to eat I'm hungry." She said changing the subject quickly.
"The doctor said as soon as you wake up you can go but … are you going to be alright?" Neji commented.
"Yup, aren't you guys hungry too? or did you guys eat already?" And as if on cue all their stomachs began to growl.
Trying to hold as much of their man pride as they could they all stood up and said "I guess we could eat."
'What am I doing?' thought Sakura before she walked out of the hospital with them. 'I can't stay in their… I never want to go their again.'
