I DONT OWN ANYTHING!

Chapter 8: Before He Cheats

It had been three months. Three months since Hiashi's assault towards Hinata. Three months since she had a surgergy because of what he had done to her and three months since Sasuke announced that Hinata was his girlfriend. It had also been three months since Sakura had spoken kinds words towards Hinata. Yes it pained her to know that she had lost a good friend but Sasuke's kind soft words always managed to make her feel better.

It was now February 14th. The agency had an annual Valentine's Sweetheart ball. Or so the flyer said. Naruto had insisted that Hinata went. Sakura had only nodded not looking at the pale eyed lolita and the brunette who was helping her out of the poofy red dress. Hinata didn't really want to go but Sasuke had asked her so she and Tenten were in Tenten's light gray room getting ready. As expected, Tenten had a long black kimono dress and her hair was in the usual buns adorned with pearls. Hinata was applying lip gloss in front of the mirror.

"Hinata-chan you look so pretty!" Hinata looked up at her loud friend and blushed. Her dress was white, tight and reached to her midthigh. Tenten had bought it for her without her knowing and she couldn't refuse her friend's kind actions or puppy eyes. Her long indigo hair was in curls and half of it was being held by a gorgeous white clip with little diamonds. "You should be the last one talking Tenten-chan! You look wonderful." Tenten smiled and sat down putting her black fancy sandals on. Hinata had white 1 inch heels on. Just then a honk was heard and Tenten shot up. "Come on! Neji's here." she said as she sprayed herself and Hinata with some perfume that made the Hyuga cough. Both girls grabbed their purses and sweaters then walked out to a black car. "Remind me again why your so-called boyfriend isn't picking you up?" said the cool monotone voice of Neji. Hinata buckled her seatbelt in the backseat. "H-He had to hel-help." she said looking out the window. Tenten scoffed. "That pink haired bitch threatened to fire him if he didn't stay there." grumbled Tenten as she crossed her arms. "T-Tenten-chan!" It wasn't unusual for Tenten to cuss but it always surprised Hinata what a potty mouth her friend had. "What? You know it's true. You know how in love she is with him and how she has been keeping him there as long as she can." Tenten pouted. "Ooh how I hate her." Neji reached over and took his girlfriend's hand before kissing it. "You're hot when you're angry." he whispered causing the other Hyuga to blush. "I just hope I can see Sasuke-kun tonight." she sighed looking outside.

Sobbing was heard in the bathroom of an agency. A girl was sitting on the last toilet sniffling while a redhead with glasses wiped the bleeding mascara. "Sakura-san! Stop crying! Your make up is smearing!" This just caused more sobs. "I-Its Valentine's and I'm alone!" shrieked Sakura taking a large gulp from a vodka bottle that was already half empty. "Hmm. Well there's nothing you can do. Sasuke-kun is with that chick and from what I know he isn't planning on leaving her soon. Blow." she placed her toilet paper wrapped hand on her boss' nose. The pinkette blew and sniffled. "Why? Why couldn't -hip- it be me that ended up with him? He do-hip-doesn't even call me for his booty call!" Sakura tilted her head drinking the last of the liquor. Karin rolled her eyes. She didn't like Sakura but in order to become something more than a secretary she had alot of ass kissing to do. "Like I said.." Karin turned and threw away the used paper and got more. "There's nothing you can do." She licked the paper slightly and wiped the black lines that were running down Sakura's flushed cheeks when said girl shot up bumping her head with Karin's glasses and nose. "There is!" she leaned close to the redhead's face smiling an evil crooked grin. "And you are going to -hip- help me." Karin backed away fixing her glasses as her boss threw the bottle on the floor causing it to smash into pieces. She released the breath she was holding and stepped away from the broken glass. "Geez Sakura. No one is gonna go near you with that breath." she mumbled to herself.

"Hinata we're here." Hinata blinked and looked at Tenten. She had spaced out and didn't notice they were at the agency. Neji had gone around to open Tenten and Hinata's door. They made their way into the agency's ballroom. It was decorated with red metalic hearts and pink and red papers. The tablecloths were pink, red and white and in the cented were fake roses of a different color than the tablecloth. Tenten led them to a table on a corner away from the speakers. Hinata placed her hands on the silky white table covering. She looked at the red rose in the middle. "I'll go get you something to drink." Said Neji getting up. "Hinata look at how many guys are looking at you!" said Tenten over the loud music. "Hmm?" Hinata was busy looking for Sasuke and wasnt paying attention to the others. Just then Neji came back and placed a Sprite in front of the girls. Tenten sipped it and took Neji's hand. "Let's go dance!" Before Neji could oppose, Tenten stood and dragged him to the dancefloor. Hinata giggled and took a drink of her soda when someone bumped her chair and made her spill it on the table. She stood up fast enough so her dress didn't get wet. "Oh my god! I am soo sorry Hinata!" The pale eyes girl turned as the person quickly placed napkins over the spilled drink. "Karin-chan. I-It's ok. I-I will clean it u-up." She helped Karin place napkins over the ones that were now soaking. "Oh I feel terrible! It was full too. I'll go get you another one. Wait here ok?" Karin took off, her purple sparly dress swayed as she walked away. Hinata looked at her curiously and moved a seat away.

To: Sakura

okk. imm gettingg herr drinkk

Karin closed her phone as she asked for two drinks. She felt her phone vibrate and opened it.

From: Sakura

okkj jsut dontt forgetty thaa planm

Karin rolled her eyes at the drunken message. She closed her phone and made her way back to where Hinata was. She was sitting there looking around. 'Poor kid. Must be looking for Sasuke-kun. Oh well. At least she's still alone.' she thought. "Here Hinata." She handed Hinata the drink. "A-Arigato." Karin sat next to her and took a sip of her own. "Aren't you thirsty?" Hinata shook her head. "Oh.. So i bought it for nothing?" asked Karin looking at her. Hinata blushed. "Oh I-I'm sorry." She took a sip and instantly felt a little dizzy. "So I heard you were with Sasuke." Hinata nodded. "How long?" "I-It's going to be three months." Karin looked at her in surprise. "Wow. That's gotta be some sort of record!" Karin took a sip from her drink as she felt Hinata's gaze on her. "He changes girls every week. That is unless they are very 'playful' if you know what i mean." she winked at Hinata. "Right now he's probably with one of the other employees." Hinata felt her eye twitch. She took another sip of the liquid that was in the cup in front of her.

Each passing second the white-eyed girl felt anger boil in her. Karin wouldn't shut up about all the girls Sasuke had had in the past, not counting all the ones he had cheated with. When Tenten and Neji came into view Karin stood. "Don't let it bother you Hinata." she said picking up the 4 scattered empty cups around Hinata. She then walked away. Tenten sat down and fanned herself with her hand. "Hinata wanna dance?" She looked to her left at the girl who was sitting perfectly still and staring straight ahead. Her bottom lip was slightly stucj out in a pout and her cheeks were a dusty red. "Hinata are you ok?" Tenten and Neji looked at Hinata who chugged whatever was in the red plastic cup. "Peachy." hissed Hinata smashing the cup in her hand. Tenten looked at Neji and Neji looked at Tenten in disbelief.

A raven-haired young man was lifting boxes of dresses in a room in the basement. He stopped when he heard high heels and sighed annoyed when he saw the secratary approach him. Right now he could be dancing and holding his girlfriend's hand if it hadn't been for the bitch he was forced to call his boss. "Sakura said there were some papers on your desk that she needs urgently. She needs the purple ones. Sign the pink and yellow ones. Take the white one to administration. The orange one with bold print go to Naruto and the other orange one go to finance. Dont mix the manilla folders." Sasuke stared at Karin who walked away with his mouth slightly opened. "What the fuck Sakura!" he said as he made his way to the elavator.

From:Sakura

okk hesa herre. bee readyy

Karin sighed. 'Is she still drunk?' She shook her head as she made her way to Hinata's table. The young girl was drinking another cup. A smirk found its way to Karin's mouth as she leaned into Hinata's ear. "Hinata I think Sasuke is waiting for you at his office. He said something about being with his girfriend in there." She backed away as Hinata stood and stomped to the doors. "Hinata! Where are you going?" called Tenten as she tried to follow her friend. When she lost sight of curly hair she went back to the table. "Neji I lost Hinata." she said.

Sasuke made his way to his office. He grumbled as he spotted a stack of papers on his desk waiting for him. He looked through all of them trying to rememeber what Karin had said so ghe didn't notice the door closing or the sound of high heels.

To: Sakura

shee's outsiidee thee doorr

Sasuke turned hearing the vibrating of a phone. Instantly he was face-to-face with the pinkette. "Sakura! What are you doing?" he growled as she pushed herself to him. He lost his balance and landed on his desk as the papers went flying to the floor. He tried pushing his boss of off him only to be rolled ontop of her. Then he heard the door slamming. He got Sakura's hands off his arms and sat up. He caught the sight of long cramy legs and small feet covered in high heels. Next came the soft thighs and the short white dress. He saw how it fit her like a glove and hugged her hips, small waist, and large bust. One arm was hanging and the other was stretched towards the door. He saw a curl hanging on her right shoulder to the front. Then he noticed her face. She had tears running down her clear wide eyes. Her mouth was slightly opened and her cheeks were a dark red. "Hinata." As soon as her name rang in her ears she slammed the door shut and ran. Sasuke ran to the door and opened it then ran to the elevator leaving a giggling Sakura behind.

Hinata ran down the stairs as fast as she could. Her sobs shook her but she didn't stop. She passed the ballroom and kept running until the cold air hit her bare arms and legs. She stumbled her way to Neji's car and pushed in the combination on the door. She climbed into the front seat and rested her head on the stearing wheel. Then the song hit her.

Right now, he's probably slow dancing with a
bleach-blonde tramp
And she's probably getting frisky

Right now he's probably buying her some Fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey

She sniffled and looked around. Her head was pounding and everything seemed to be spinning. She remembered his face when he saw her. How his eyes traveled on her body. How he whispered her name. She gripped the stearing wheel. She had been warned about him. Tenten didn't seem to like him. But he promised. "He promised not to hurt me!" she sobbed. "He promised..." She looked to the side and saw something shiny.

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know...

When she reached over, her hand felt cold metal. She picked up the heavy thing. Hinata didn't know anything about cars but she knew this metal X was used for tires. She sniffled and got out.

I dug my key into the side of his
Pretty little souped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

She knew exactly where he parked. "Damn his ego." she whispered as she made her way towards the front where the Employee of the Month's was. Inside Sasuke ran towards the ballroom. He looked around but he didn't see her. "Damn!" he hissed. He turned and bumped into someone. "There you are! Hinata has been waiting all night to be with you." chimed Tenten. Somthing tugged at Sasuke's heart. "Where is she?" he asked over the loud musc. "I don't know. Karin came, told her something and she left all mad." 'Karin.' he thought. He ran and left a stunned Tenten there.

Right now, she's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
And he's thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbing on
Three dollars worth of that bathroom polo
Oh and he don't know... OH!

Hinata looked at the tires as they hissed. The midnight blue car was slowly sinking. Hinata hiccuped and wiped the tears that were still falling. She didn't know how or with what but she had managed to make a large hole on all of the tires. She didn't feel satisfied though and she looked down.

That I dug my key into the side of his
Pretty little souped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Tenten came out of the bathroom and shook her head at Neji who was waiting for her. He ran a hand through his long loose hair. "Where could she be? It's not like her to just run off." he said looking at the direction of the music. Tenten took his hand. "Maybe she went back to the table." With that she pulled her boyfriend towards the ballroom.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, oh
Not on me...

Hinata looked at the lines that surrounded the midnight car. She felt exhilarated. Something she hadn't felt since the bastard of her father started beating her. She walked around the car again dragging her fake nails on the car. The loud screeching noise made her smile. The thin lines made her feel better.

'Cause I dug my key into the side of his
Pretty little souped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
Took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Tenten sighed at the sight of the empty table. She took her friend's purse accidently knocking a cup over. Neji looked at it along with the other empty three. "Is this what she was drinking?" Tenten nodded as Neji tipped the cup slightly to his lips. "Its vodka." Tenten's eyes widened. "We gotta find her!" They took off heading to the parking lot hoping she had returned to the car. Tenten had just dialed Hinata's phone when she stopped and dropped her phone. "Hinata! Neji looked up to where Tenten was looking. "Hinata no!" She ran just as the little Hyuga smashed the front window with the metal X. She saw as Hinata picked it up again and did the same to side windows. She stopped Hinata and Neji took it away from her. "Hinata what's gotten into you?" Hinata burried her face to her friend's neck and sobbed before passing out.

Oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Ok! I know Hinata is way OOC here but it had to be done. I DON'T OWN THE SONG! It's Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood.
