Don't Say Goodbye
Chapter 6
Sakura's POV
"And that is all for today, Goodbye class." Our last teacher said as he gathered all of his belonging and left the room.
"Ugh. Finally the weekend!" Ino said as she stretched her back, and yawned. Hinata and I exchanged looks and we just rolled our eyes at Ino.
"Oh yeah," I said as I stood up and took my bag from the floor, Ino and Hinata mimicked me as well. "I have to go."
"Where are you going?" Hinata asked me curiously.
Ino nodded her head. "Yeah. I thought maybe we could hang out in the bleachers for a while." she pouted her lips and made puppy eyes at me.
Hinata giggled like a six year old while I just smiled at them. "My dad is probably waiting for me outside... we have an... um, important matter to attend to."
Both girls nodded their head in understanding. "Well. See you on Monday." I waved at them as I walked away fast.
The truth was I have another appointment with the doctor. This week, my situation started to get worse. I get more and more attacks everyday... I just fought it so I wouldn't faint or collapse, and the students and teachers won't suspect me.
I was on my way to the back gate when someone grabbed my elbow and pulled me back.
"Let me go!" Annoyance was pretty obvious on my tone, as I jerked my arm away.
"Woah," a deep husky familiar voice said. I spun around and saw him. "A little feisty today, Pink Piglet?" he said with a smirk.
I scowled at Sasuke. "It's none of your business you ugly duck." I said as I stuck my tongue out at him. "And FYI," I said with the head thing and Sasuke just chuckled at me. "Piglet is pink, dummy." I smirked at him.
Pink piglet? Pfsh. that guy should really use his head- it was there for a reason- Of course, piglet is pink!
As I smirked at him he just merely rolled his eyes at me. "Whatever."
"What do you want?" I asked him the annoyance coming back to my tone. "I'm about to leave so, hurry up and tell me what you want to say."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow in your house at exactly 10 o'clock." he said as he walked off to his who knows where, back to the gym I guess as he stuffed his hands inside his pocket.
Yes, we both agreed a while ago that we will study at his house. I said I don't have a car, and that he had to pick me up. He reluctantly agreed with that condition.
I scowled at his retreating back. As I stuck my tongue at him he, quickly turned around and looked at me. I froze, while he just smirked at me.
"Don't be late, Piglet."
On the hospital nothing pretty much happened. They just gave me aspirin, some pills to lessen my chest ache, and some other medicines and pills for my sickness. They also told me to go easy, and I shouldn't be stressed- physically or emotionally. I doubt that though, isn't senior year the most stressful year in high school?
The night that day, I woke up because my chest suddenly hurt. I propped myself on my right elbow as I clutched my chest with my free hand.
I squeezed my eyes shut. I took long deep breaths to calm my heart, and tried to clear my mind, but none of them work. I slowly slipped off the comfort of my warm blanket. I grabbed my bedside table, and gently tried to stand-up on my own two feet.
I felt wobbly at first, but after a few seconds I steadied myself. I trudged my way to my door with on hand clutching to my chest.
Using my free hand, I grabbed the knob and turned it. I walked on our silent empty hall; I felt dizzy just staring at our staircase. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I grabbed the railing to support me. I opened my eyes took one step. slowly I was descending the stairs.
I made my way to our kitchen. I grabbed a glass of water and one tablet from our table. I popped the tablet into my mouth and drank the water along with the tablet. I sat in our living room- which was connected to our kitchen- for a while as I waited for the pain in my chest to ease.
Thankfully, after an hour the pain had stopped. A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I leaned on the couch. I was tired, exhausted and really sleepy. Sleep hasn't visited me since I woke up from my sleep earlier.
I looked up at our wall clock and scowled. The clock says it is 4:23 in the morning. I stretched carefully, fearing that if I stretched harder the pain would comeback- it's a strange belief. I trudged my way up to my room.
Slowly and as quiet as I could, I opened my bedroom door; I trudged my way towards my bed and crept under the warm comforts of my blanket.
*poke* poke*
I grumbled as some finger started poking on my right cheek. I scrunched up my nose and buried my face in my pillow.
*poke* poke*
I groaned. "Get out." I said lazily and brought my blanket up to my head.
But, instead of obliging I felt strong hands land on my side. I heard a loud thud, and a pain sensation started to crept its way on my forehead. I rubbed my sore cheek before turning around and getting on one knee.
I looked up and to my surprise, my jade orbs met with onyx ones.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed as I completely got up on my two feet. I rested both my hands on my hips and raised my brow at him.
Sasuke scowled at me as he pointed at my digital clock on my bedside. "10:06... You're late."
My eyes went wide as I gasped. "I'm so sorry!" I shouted. "Give me 10 minutes; I'll be done by 10:16!"
I quickly grabbed my towel and ran towards the bathroom which was at the end of our hall. I quickly stripped off my clothes and hopped in the shower.
I bathed myself and brushed my teeth. Immediately I threw my towel on top of my head and towel-dried my hair. After that I wrapped it around my body and walked outside.
I entered my room and opened my cabinet. I immediately grabbed what first came to view in my eyes. It was a plain white shirt, a pink top with stripes and butterfly designs, and my grey skirt that goes all the way above my knees.
I combed my hair and tied it in a messy bun.
Before leaving my room, I grabbed my History book, a pen and a notebook and stuffed them in to my shoulder bag. I looked at my clock which says 10:15, a yawn escaped my lips and I stretched my body.
Because of my attack last night, I didn't get quite a good sleep. I rubbed my eyes and continued towards my door. But, before I go I bent down and picked up my ballet flats and slipped them on each foot. All, my everyday shoes- such as sneakers and flats- were beside my door.
I went downstairs and found Sasuke seated in our living room, white earphones were stuck on both his ears. I could hear the slightest sound of music coming from his earphones.
He looked up as soon as he noticed my presence. He yanked his earphones out of his ears and stuffed them in one of his pants pocket.
"Let's go." He said as got up and started walking towards our entrance hall. I followed closely behind him.
He grabbed the door handle, twisted it and stepped out of our house, followed by me. He walked over his car which was neatly parked in front of our house. I locked our main door before following him to his car.
"How did you get in my house? My room specifically." I asked as soon as I hopped in the seat next to him.
"Your brother did." he simply replied, before driving off and into the road.
I scoffed and pulled my arms across my chest. "But, I sure he didn't allowed you to enter my room." I mumbled.
But, instead of replying to what I said he asked a different question. "Why were you late?" his eyes were still glued to the road.
"I had some trouble sleeping." I said.
After that, the ride to his house was silent.
"Woah." was the first word that came out of my mouth as soon as my eyes landed on a huge mansion.
"This is so cool!" I squealed as I clasped both my hands o my chest.
Sasuke only chuckled beside me as he maneuvered the stirring wheel and parked right in front of the house.
"This is where you live?" I asked as I whipped my head to him.
He smirked. "You think?"
I gasped. "You're so filthy rich."
Sasuke just merely rolled his eyes at me. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car. I mimicked his actions and stepped out of the car as well, but I stood still as I eyed and studied the house much better.
There were two palm trees on each side of the house; four Greek pillar supporting the terrace above; the house was also painted in white. I could go on forever about describing Sasuke's house actually.
"Well?" Sasuke asked impatiently "Aren't you coming?"
With that I followed him towards the huge door. I turned around before coming inside of his house. I looked at the garden-ish style in front of me in amazement.
There were flowers blooming everywhere butterflies in all different colors and sizes flying here and there, trees that were well kept grew on the side of the house and there was a huge water fountain in the middle-
"C'mon!" I felt Sasuke's hand on my elbow as he pulled me away and into his house.
After a short tour in his house we finally made it in the library. A shiver ran my spine, his library was so creepy. There was only one huge window with red curtains parted on both sides, it was like the room was made out of bookshelves instead of walls, the room was carpeted with red, and there were small chandeliers on the walls.
I sat on one of the tables and Sasuke sat across me. We were silent for a while, I looked down at my lap and fiddled with my hands. I don't know why but my heart started to pound on my chest all so suddenly.
No, it wasn't about my disease that made it to pound like that- I was sure of it. But, it was something more.
I took deep breaths and decided on just studying for our report next week.
I looked up and was a bit surprised that Sasuke was looking straight at me, his arm crossed over his chest. I raised my brow at him and he just swiftly turned his head to the other side.
"So... uhm... shall we start?" I asked him as I pulled out my notebook and pen.
"What do you know about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing?" I asked him.
And so our study went on like that. We had to use a few of the books in the library and had to do research on the internet.
I was reading some facts about the bombing, my hand was rolled into a fist my temple resting there, when I felt a hand brush through my forehead.
I looked and so Sasuke leaning on the table so he could reach me and tuck my bangs behind my ear.
"8 years ago..." he mumbled looking deeply in my eyes. He mumbled something else that I didn't quite catch.
"What?" I asked him. "What are you talking about?"
Sasuke smirked at me, and it had me confused. What was he smirking about?
He leaned even further and whispered something on my ear.
"I think I like you... Sa-ku-ra."
And the beating of my heart was back.
