December 3, 2015
5:10 PM
So starting this chapter im not doing auto checks on the spelling and stuff because im trying to get the most chapters out of my motivation as i can :P sorry but please enjoy another sasusaku : o
Its been so long since sasuke left...it feels so boring now i grumbled as i lay in bed with my headphones in listening to U.n.i by ed sheeran
"i wonder how he is..." i sighed as i lipped the lyrics of the song
My mother walked in with some banana chocolate chip muffins
"hehe i made one of your favorites!" my mother cheered on as she handed me a muffin, "so feeling a little more motivational yet?" she questioned me
"i guess..."
My mother looked at me examining my face
"your pale and your bags are beyond noticeable, are you not taking care of yourself now?"
"yes mom im taking care of myself, i guess ive just been sleeping to much"
She stared at me before taking the tray back downstairs.
I closed my eyes for what felt like a second and woke up to the sun blaring into my face
I groaned as i dragged myself up
I started coughing, covering my mouth with my hand i felt my hand get wet and tasted something
Moving my hand to where i could see it there was blood
Concerned i washed my hand and face, trailing back to my room to my phone.
I looked at it like i was hoping something magical would happen, but i guess i was just lost in thought
I threw a white tank top with a low cut into the chest and a black baggy sweater over top, then threw on my sweats tying my hair in a lazy bun.
I made my way downstairs to the table snatching an apple, chewing it as i made my way to the door
"where are you going sakura?" my mother asked
"i figured id try work today"
I quickly shut the door before she could respond and slugged my way to the bus stop
After a while i showed up
Ino was dealing with the only customer in the store and when she finished she glanced at me before realizing it was me
"sakura! Oh my god hi!"
I waved as i went to grab my apron
I took my baggy hood off and tied the apron around my waist
For some reason i noticed i felt my bones a little more intensely
I shrugged it off as a better diet so i must be llosing weight.
While tending to some flowers a horrible suffocating sensation built up in my throat before i started to cough heavily
After a few minutes of this it finally stopped and when i looked down i could see blood dripping from my hand
"...must have bitten my tongue" i told myself
But i felt like it was so much more than just biting my tongue
I ignored this as the day went on
I had a few coughing episodes every couple hours
Finally work was done and i made my way to the exit
"...hey sasuke" i replayed for a brief moment as i mumbled under my breath
Ino who had noticed my state came over behind me and pat my shoulder
"sup chicky?" she jokingly said
"n-nothing " i stuttered as i started walking home
"ill see you tomorrow!" i waved
Throughout the walk home it felt so ... Plain
The city lights didnt seem so bright tonight
I glanced up at the sky checking the stars
"i wonder if hes looking at them right now..." i shuttered to myself.
I was walking passed the sweets store when i decided to grab some things before they closed
After i had purchased a few cookies and cupcakes i walked back home as quick as i could
Once i got in the door my mother greeted me taking my bags
"how was work?" she asked
"eh it was okay" i replied
But really work felt so plain The flowers were not as vibrant
It was like seeing in black and white compared.
I scooped up a cookie and picked at it slowly eating each piece i tore off
Suddenly it happend again except this time i wasnt prepared, my hands were full
I started coughing and a lot of blood drained this time.
My mother walked in
"hey sakur-...what the hell!"
She quickly grabbed a towel to start cleaning up the blood
Once she was done i was walking to the stairs when she grabbed my shoulder
"sakura...do you cough up blood a lot?"
She asked pained
"i guess my secrets out...ive been coughing up blood for a few days."
My mothers grip tightened "why didnt you tell me..."
"because your over worrying about it"
"sakura! This isnt something to be taken lightly we need to take you to the doctor and get this issue checked out as soon as we can sakura!"
Sakura shrugged
"yeah yeah, if you wanna plan it then ill go."
She nodded as i made my way up the stairs to my bedroom.
Once i got to my room i closed the door slowly.
I sighed as i stripped down to my underwear.
"theres nothing wrong with me..." i grumbled as i drifted off to sleep.
The next morning my mother woke me up telling me we had a checkup in 30 min,
Freaking out i quickly grabbed a dirty shirt and some pants out of my laundry pile and made my way to the door.
Once we got in the car we made our way through traffic till finally we reached the hospital 3 minutes early.
We made our way inside to be summoned right away.
The doctor took the tests necessary and sent us on our way
"so theyll have the results in 2 weeks" my mother told me
I nodded as i sat back in the car
Driving on our way back i stared out the window watching the world pass by.
Once we got home i decided i wanted to bake for some reason.
I grabbed the mixer and started throwing stuff in, before i knew it i had made 2 batches of peanut butter balls, and haystack cookies.
"oh god i did it again...i made to many...you can never have to many" i smirked to myself when suddenly my dad walked in and stole a bunch
I pouted as i took my share off to my room and watched
Mulan and ate my cookies.
I passed out just before the second movie ended
~2 weeks pass~
My mom drove me to the hospital and we waited in the waiting room for a bit before the doctor summoned us
When we entered the room the doctor looked like he was dreading this moment
He gripped his clip board in one hand and stared at me with his blue icey eyes slightly covered by his brown hair and fair complextion
"hello mrs and ms haruno"
"hello, its been awhile so how are my daughters test results?" my mother said anxiously
He broke contact for a second before staring back us with a distressed stare
"im afraid they dont look to good..."
"well whats wrong?" i asked
"...you have a cancer in your lungs and its spreading very slowly but will in time speed up"
Stunned by this dreadful news the first thing i thought was "how long do i have" i hadnt actually asked because i was terrified of the answer
"there is some chemo we could do, maybe see if it stops it."
Before i thought about it i was nodding desperately.
"are you sure ms haruno? The side effects are terrible and the withdrawls and everything can be just awful, so awful you might just want it to be done with"
I nodded " id rather have a fighting chance, rather than none at all"
The doctor nodded as we talked for a bit longer when he sent us on our way.
We reached the house
Mom shut the car off but she didnt get out
She just stared into blank space
"mom?" i questioned
"its happening all over again..."
She said as her voice croaked
"what is?"
"sakura cancer runs in the family, and its usually pretty severe, most of the relatives who are diagnosed dont make it through it."
Sakura didnt say anthing
"sakura you dont know when your last breath is gonna be and your ticking time bomb now, so do things that you wouldnt normally do, make it worth it"
Life isnt about
Waiting for the
Storm to pass
Its about
Learning to dance
In the rain
unknown
