Recap:

"I uh…of course", but I am lying, if just a little. I do take more than an hour to get ready. The shower alone takes about 40 minutes, I know, a little extreme, but I like my showers. We stop at a red light and I feel a hand on my thigh. I look over and see Sasuke's head getting nearer to mine. I know what's going on, and I really don't mind. He catches my lips in a kiss and we stay like that for a long while. We suddenly hear a horn beep from the car behind us and Sasuke breaks the kiss. There's a green light and Sasuke accelerates. Then we suddenly hear a loud screech then a bang and then I hear nothing. I then see black and nothing else. I then open my eyes slightly and see so many colours, blue, white and red, lots and lots of red. My head thumps alongside my fast beating heart. I have no idea what's going on. I then hear Sasuke's voice. For some reason he's yelling. Then again, I see nothing, just black.

Suddenly there's this huge pain on my head. I raise my hand and put it to my head. I cringe from the pain. I open my eyes finally. I start to panic because I'm in an unfamiliar room and I don't remember how I got here. It takes me a while to realise I'm in a hospital. I subsequently remember the car accident. But I don't remember how I got out and what about Sasuke.

Oh no Sasuke! What happened to Sasuke? I then try to make a move to get out of bed but then I feel my chest tense and then a pain so bad shoots through me as if I'm being stabbed repeatedly. I gasp loudly and wince. It's worse than I could've imagined. I look down, and peer into my hospital garment. There's bandages wrapped around me. I must've gotten cut or something. I then reach up and feel more bandages around my head. No wonder I feel a little dizzy. I then hear the door open and watch as Naruto enters the room, walking closer to become beside me.

"Sakura are you okay?" he asks nervously. I look up at him and look to my hands and twiddle my thumbs.

"Hows Sasuke?" I ask.

"I don't know…I came just as soon as I heard…For you of course, not that fool who got you in this trouble" said Naruto.

All of a sudden I felt so angry. "He's not a fool! It's not his fault!" I yelled. Then I heard the door open again and as relived to see Kiba's worried face. He pushed Naruto out of the way and hugged me. He let go and looked to Naruto.

"I think you should leave right now" said Kiba. Naruto shrugged and left.

"Thanks Kiba..." I muttered when Naruto shut the door behind him.

"Anything for you Sakura. A-Are you okay?"

I tried to smile but I couldn't. "Yeah, sure I am Kiba. I'm a tough girl" I said.

"P-please tell me how Sasuke is? Where is he?" I said a little shaken up.

Kiba looked away for a moment as If trying to figure out how to deliver bad news.

"Kiba, tell me he's ok. Just tell me" I continued. Kiba heaved a sigh and looked at me.

"This is just what I've heard ok? Well, when the car crashed into you guys you were stuck in the car and they took Sasuke out with ease, but your seatbelt wouldn't come off so the policemen just kinda left you after they tried they couldn't risk anymore because the car started on fire."

"That doesn't answer my question Kiba! So how did I get out? Why am I here?!" I said loudly, I was starting to get a little irritated.

"Sasuke went in after you…And he managed to get you out"

"So where is he?!" I said.

"He's right over there…" said Kiba pointing to my right. I looked over and saw a large white curtain with a silhouette of somebody upon a bead.

"Draw the curtain Kiba" I said.

"I can't do that Sakura" he replied.

"Just do it!" I yelled.

Kiba sighed and walked over and pulled the curtain back. And I saw him. He was sleeping and had many bandages around him. On his torso his head his arms his legs.

"What happened Kiba?"

"Well he couldn't get away fast enough. The car exploded and certain parts of his caught on fire. It must've been excruciating pain. He's in a coma. And to top it off, a part of the car shot off from the explosion and it stabbed him in the back and it was so deep that it cut open his heart, they needed to replace it. Luckily there was a patient here who had died and there was a successful transplant."

I could feel the threat of tears swell in my eyes. I bit my lip and nodded. It's my entire fault. He risked his life for mine. This just isn't fair.

A month later I was released and I came back everyday to see how Sasuke was doing, and everyday the nurses and doctors told me that he wasn't going to wake up anytime soon. Though his body had been healing well, they said that his emotional scars from the trauma were still pretty fresh and that if Sasuke wanted to wake up, he would. After a while school had ended and the holidays had started. Though you could only find me beside Sasuke's bed.

I held Sasuke's hand and fiddled with his fingers. It was about half-pasted seven P.M. It had been a couple of months since the accident and Sasuke's burns and scratches had healed perfectly; though he had some small unnoticeable scars. I felt so tired; I'd been here since seven A.M. I stood up and brushed the hair from Sasuke's face and walked to the door and looked back at Sasuke. I then walked past a Nurse and asked that if there was a change in Sasuke, that she would call me immediately. I then walked out of the hospital and to the nearest coffee shop.

I ordered a cappuccino and waited. I then saw a tall man order a coffee and he walked over and waited beside me. He had black hair and dark eyes, just like Sasuke. He sorta had a pony tail thing happening, usually I think of that as feminine but he kind of looked alright, even handsome. He looked at me and I blushed and looked away. He smiled a bit though I didn't see. I then looked at him again, and I didn't even realise that I was staring at him, I was lost in a different world, so much so that I didn't even realise that my name was being called for my coffee. He then looked to me and smiled and spoke.

"I think you cappuccino is ready"

I snapped out of my haze and grabbed my coffee and disappeared in an instant. I felt so embarrassed. What a fool. As I was walking back to the hospital my phone rang.

"Miss Haruno?" said a concerned voice.

"Yes?"

"Our patient Uchiha Sasuke is having heart failure and, the doctors are trying to bring him back at this very moment"

I felt my own heart clench and I dropped my coffee and ran towards the hospital. As I got into the elevator I could only hope that Sasuke was okay. When the doors opened I swear I saw a flash of the man from the coffee shop but I shake it off and run towards Sasuke's room. I was stopped at the door by a Nurse who said I couldn't enter. I saw another doctor enter the scene and use the defibulator. (The thing that doctors use to shock the heart…?) After a couple of tries they stop.

"What's going on? Why did they stop?" I said franticly.

"Don't worry they got his heart beating again. You can go see him when the doctors leave and pack the gear up"

I heave a sigh of huge relief and raise my palm to my forehead. That was such a big scare. A couple of minutes later the doctors leave and then the nurse then walks to another room and out of my way. I then walk in briskly and stand by Sasuke's bed and hold his hand and hold it to my chest. I then see a doctor walk to the end of his bed and grab his profile and write on it. I then recognise him as the man from the coffee shop, so it was him whom I had seen. He looks up and sees me peering at him; he stops writing and smiles at me.

"So, my patient is your companion?" he says smoothly.

It takes me a moment to realise he is actually talking to me. I then nod.

"How well do you know him?" he asks.

"Um, we sort of are friends, but I don't really know him thoroughly…" I say.

"So you wouldn't have known that he has an older brother?"

"No…He has an older brother? How do you know?" I ask bewildered.

"I am his doctor, I have to take family histories, but then I already know his, this is my younger brother"

I stare in shock. This is a first, I then rad his name tag; Mr. Uchiha. So it's true then. Though I must admit I had seen a turned down picture of the two, but I never thought that I'd actually get a chance to meet him. After so long I forgot that Sasuke even had a sibling, he'd never talk about his family, nevertheless his older brother, why didn't he ever tell me about him? And how come nobody at our school knew about him?

"My names Itachi Uchiha, nice to meet you..." he said as he held out his hand.
