It's been a week since that fight and Sakura hasn't talked to me since. She started hanging out with Kiba. I heard rumors that say they're dating, but I can't do anything now. If Kiba shows any signs of hurting her I'll kill him but until then I'll just leave them alone. It hurts me a lot but it's only right for her. I'll always wait, and if she wants to give me another chance I'll make sure she gets everything she deserves this time. Anyway five days ago the music teacher told us that today we're going to have a little concert here at school. Mom and dad are already here and Itachi is probably outside. I'm the forth so I must go change. We'll sing solos and then duets. I'll sing with Sakura, Kiba will sing with Ino, Naruto with Hinata, Neji with Tenten and Shikamaru with Temari. Now that I finished changing I'm going to say hi to my family before I go up on the stage. The first singer is Temari. As I reach my parents my mom gives me a bear hug.
"Oh honey, you'll do great"
"Come on mom, you're going to strangle him" Itachi said as mom let go of me and we shock hands.
"Good luck bro"
"Thanks" I simply replied.
I looked at my father and we both nodded. I turned around just in time to see Temari finish and as she got off the stage the next singer came up and I was surprised to see that it was Sakura. She was wearing a long black dress that had a corset and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. The music started and I I knew immediately what song it was. She was going to sing a cover of Boulevard of broken dreams by Green Day.
„I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone..."
I went back stage to get ready as I saw Sakura leave the stage and Naruto coming. As I reached the back stage I saw that Sakura was there talking with Kiba. My heart ached a bit but it didn't matter. When Kiba left to get ready I went to Sakura. Her back was facing me as she was looking for something in her bag.
"You did great up there Sakura"
She jumped a bit in surprise then turned to me. She looked me in the eyes as if looking for a sign that I was lying but when she found none she sighed and shock her head.
"Um… Thanks, I guess"
As I heard Naruto ending his song I started to head for the stage but just before I went on I turned around to face her again.
"But just so you know, you are not alone. I will always be here for you, whenever you need me, you know where to find me"
I turned around and when I started walking again I heard her gasp. Naruto was just coming of the stage when I got there.
"Good luck men, I hope you get Sakura back tonight. "
"Thanks Naruto"
I walked up the stage and I could see Sakura standing on the front row. I smiled at her letting her know this song was for her and then I started singing.
Still worth fighting for- My Darkest Days
„So hard to let go
And I still hear the sound
Of your voice singin' in my head
I can't surrender
'Cause the rope's slowly coming apart
But hangin' by a thread
It's gone on
For too long
And this is it
So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget
The way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting
Still worth fighting for
A glass that's half empty
Won't wash away the mistakes
It only makes a mess
It's worth defending
A tiny glimpse of what it would take
To make us better yet
It's gone on
For too long
And this is it
So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget
The way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting for
A love that wants to live
I'll give you all I've got to give
So let's try one last time
So we never forget
This is still worth fighting
Still worth fighting for
Now that we know just who we are
Now that we've finally come this far
I'm ready for one more battle scar
'Cause this is still worth fighting for
So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget the way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting for
A love that wants to live
I'll give you all I've got to give
So let's try one last time
So we never forget
This is still worth fighting for
(I'm ready for one more battle scar)
This is still worth fighting for
(I'm ready for one more battle scar)
This is still worth fighting
We're still worth fighting for „
I looked at Sakura all the time that i was singing and she actually started crying when i finished. She got up and went in the changing rooms. I got off of the stage and quickly followed her. As i entered the changing rooms i heard her and i found her sittind on the bench across the room. She had her eyes closed so she didn't see me coming in. I went in front of her and got down on my knees.
„Sakura, why are you crying? „
She opened her eyes and i could see a lot of emotions: hurt, hate, anger,tiredness and something i couldn't name.
„Why are you doing this? Why do you keep tormenting me? Why can't you leave me alone? „
„Sakura I- „
„After all you have done why do i still love you? „
This cought me off guard. Did she just say that she loves me? Then that means that it's not all lost yet. I still have a chance. She suddenly got up and i followed her move.
„Did you just say that you love me? „
„Yeah, I still love you and i can't believe myself. After all you've done, after all i've been through i cant seem to get you out of my head. I'm trying so hard to forget about you but you won't let me. Why?"
„Because i don't want you to forget me. Because i love you. If you can't forget me then what are you doing with Kiba?"
„Kiba? What are you talking about?"
„I heard that you two were together, and you sure spend alot more time with each other"
She laughed without humor and looked at me.
„Kiba is the only family I have left. I found out after your little fight that he is my cousin. „
Hold up Kiba and Sakura, cousins? So they are not together? Wow, i didn't see that coming.
„So after all this time you still love me? „
„Yeah, I'm so stupid, right? Well i should go, it's going to be our turn soon, plus i have to see what Hinata is doing. "
She tried to get pass me but i didn't let her. Instead i pulled her back and hugged her. It felt so good to have her back in my arms.
„Sasuke, let me go."
„No,i won't. Now that i know that you still love me i will never let you go. „
I didn't let her say anything else as i kissed her. At first she hesitated but after two seconds she wraped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. I wont let her go not now that i know she still love me. I'll fight with the whole world just to be with her because i only need her. Nothing else matters.
