Hi everyone! Hope you had a good fourth of July. I know I did. I come to the conclusion that since im in anatomy for the summer and it requires my full attention im cutting the chapters from two to once a week. Bummer I know, but gotta pass this class and since this is happening I do have a dead set day on when I 'upload and that will be every TUESDAY . So yes, im working on the next week's update. READ AND REVIEW!
I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR STEALING HEAVEN THEME BY ELIZABETH SCOTT
I go home and put everything away. I even show Mom the medicine that I got for her. And not to my surprise she starts her tantrum. When she is done I tell her will just spike everything she drinks with it so she might as well get over it. I remind her to take it as directed and left again. She didn't ask me because she is too busy making faces from the medicine. We all know she is only doing that because Im here. Im willing to bet by time I come back it will still be full. Pick your battles Sakura, I think to myself heading back to the store. I park away from store. Which, Im sure wouldn't change anything considering how Gaara already know what the car looks like. You know with Gaara I was expecting a sedan or pickup truck, but my image is ruined. It turns out to be a station wagon with bumper stickers nonetheless, shocker. "So this is your car?" I say coming up to him. "Oh no, are we going to jump to question-mode or something? Bad sign." He feigns his surprise. "Well, it's not something I would expect for you to drive." He laughs. "You know I thought you were going to say that it matches my hair or something." I laugh. "You said it not me." We share another laugh. We get in the station wagon. Something which is entirely new to me. Then again, so is being on a date…and well going somewhere with a cop willingly.
Everyone has a nervous tick, for some biting nails or shaking their legs, For me twisting my hands. Why did I do this again? I must be distracting him because Gaara glances at my arm before turning his attention the road as we left the lot. "So what happened to your arm? You got a scar across your arm. I mean I have an idea…" I go back to the dog bite and why it bit me. Does he know the reason or what I am? Talk about getting paranoid. "It's no biggie. I understand." He says when I don't answer. He holds out his right arm and I see faint white lines crossing his wrist. "You got bit by a dog too?" "Um, wait? A dog?" "Yeah, got bit by a poodle, those damn things and before you laugh…" The only thing missing is the laughter. I look over and see Gaara looking kind of surprise. I look at him and the scars about three times and then it clicks. I understand what happened. I ran into a situation similar a couple of years ago. "You-" Im not sure what to say. I mean, no normal person would flat out say-you tried to kill yourself- but his facial expressions show mix emotions. "got them on the other one too." I finish. Not exactly the best ending, but what you have said? He just slowly nods his head. I touch them because I know how it feels to want something not be true. "I was fourteen," he says almost in a whisper.
"Right after my dad died. He thought he was helping someone with a flat and got shot." I listen in silence. "The last time we saw each other he and I had a fight. I told him I hated him. After the funeral, I just got some blades. I don't remember even doing it. I've never told anyone before. I thought you did the same." He takes a breath. "My dad is gone too. Not dead, but he may as well be. I don't fully understand, but I know what it is like wishing that someone is here with you." I say. I pray he doesn't ask why Dad isn't around. "He wanted to make a difference in the world. That's why he became a cop. I just wish I had seen it before. It just hurts that they have to go first before you can understand." He says. "At least, you know," Dad comes floating in my head. "I mean, they can be there, but when you're with them you get close to nowhere with them." I look out the window. "That could change." Gaara says. "Maybe, until they ask how long you are going to be with them, like they are afraid of something. Which is total shit. It is all they give. All they are willing to give. And that hurts. It's the worst hurt in the world…" I breath to hold back the tears I feel coming. Dad isn't the most popular subject I talk about. Even with Mom.I hear Gaara open his mouth. "And don't you dare say you are sorry. Sorry didn't do anything and it fixes nothing." The feelings of sadness is replaced with anger. How is it that the guy is able to get my history out me? It's like he is in my mind. "You're right." I look over at him. "Sorry is nothing something that a person feeling sad wants hear. I do I didn't after Dad died. I hated that word. It was like a curse. Life situations suck sometimes and you want to fix them and other times you can't and so you learn from them. It's life. You miss your dad." He says, not really a question, but more of a statement. He looks over at me. I can tell he gets it. All I can do is nod. "Miss mine too."
When we get to the ferry there is a crowd. Joy. Gaara and I join them, along with the elbowing. I get elbowed by someone with a video camera. Gaara catches me by the arm before I met the ground. I swear I wish he would kiss me already. Where did that thought come from? "So, we will actually get on the boat soon or stare at it all afternoon?" I ask. "Two hours give or take." Someone overhears this and yells the information back towards the crowd. They let us on the ferry within an hour. We stand together on the deck, which is about as loud as a carnival minus the rides. It is nice and comfortable. Nothing awkward. "Almost there, my favorite part." Gaara says smiling. I look to the ocean and I see why. It is like the place just appears out of nowhere. I see homes and winding roads. It's lonely island only it doesn't look like it. It's full of life. "I know right. Amazing isn't it?" Gaara asks me.I stare in wonder nodding. I look over at him and see a smile. He is looking back at me too. "What?" I say. "Nothing." "Lies! You are smiling." "I always smile. Unlike someone I know." "Excuse me?" "You're excused." Gaara laughs. "And you are a pain in the ass." He obviously ignores my insult. "There we go. Got ya." "Got me?" "Made you smile." I shake my head, but we know I am
