Sakura sat on a swing on a lonely Saturday afternoon.

"Before I go, please know that I love you. La la la.." Sakura hummed and occasionally started singing to the lyrics of the music on her iPod.

She felt a hand on her back and jumped up to her feet.

"S-Sasuke? What are you doing here?" She asked, disbelief evident in her voice.

She couldn't believe he was talking to her after the pain she'd caused him.

"I needed to talk to you.." Sasuke said as he took a seat on the swing next to hers.

Sakura hesitantly sat back down.

"Before you..talk to me, I just wanted to tell you—" Sakura started.

"Sakura, wait. I know you must be upset with me for being so stupid, but I just wanna tell you—"

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed and got up to look at him.

"I'm not mad at you. Alright? Even..if I should be. I can never bring myself to be mad at you for more than a few hours. You're the only real friend I've had in my life. I'd never want to lose you. And, before you say anything else. I want you to know…I've thought about it so much and I've come to the conclusion that I..I l—"

"SASUKE-KUUUUUN! SASUKEEEE!!" Came a loud shout from afar.

"Sasuke, I, I, need to talk, to, you." Ino said between pants.

"Oh! Hey Sakura! Okay, well I thought about it and you're right and I felt really bad. So, thanks. Aaaand this time I mean it." Ino said, smiling at Sakura.



Sakura didn't move.

She just stood there.

Crushed.

Her only chance to tell Sasuke he loves her and Ino comes.

Even if she did say something nice.

She ruined it.

"Sasuke, so, um, do you wanna try going out for real?" Ino asked, blushing.

Sasuke pondered over this question for a moment.

You're the only real friend I've had in my life.

Friend..

So…I guess she doesn't want to be…more…

"Uh..sure, Ino. And thanks, Sakura." Sasuke said, giving Sakura a tight hug.

He was heart-broken, but as long as Sakura was happy..Right?

"S-Sasuke…b-but—"

"I'll talk to you later. Feel free to come over to my place at around 7. I'm gonna go hang with Ino. See ya." Sasuke said the last part quietly and walked off with Ino.

"BYYYYEE SAKUURAAA!!" Ino shouted, waving.

Sakura felt sick to her stomach.

"Life sucks sometimes…" She mumbled to herself as she began to walk around.

Sakura stopped walking and thinking and looked up to see she was infront of Naruto's house.

Why had her feet brung her..here?

Sakura shrugged and walked to Naruto's door-step.



Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"Sakura-chan! Why the sad face?" Naruto asked, stepping aside to let her in.

"Naruto, I need to talk to you about Sasuke.."
