"I want you to meet up with me, right now." I really didn't want to you know, I just wanted to stay home tonight and read my book, but he's my boyfriend. Maybe it's something important.
"Sure, where?" I dully answer.
"The park, you know the one next to the woods."
"Alright, I'll be right there." I snap my phone shut. Looking into my mirror next to the door, I see me. What used to be me. My eyes are red and tired. My lips, chapped and pale, skin uneven from the sleepless nights. Sleepless nights of wondering where my relationship is going with him. Thinking if this is doing me any good, Noticing that I was dying by the second.
It's raining tonight, like every other nights in Oto. I grab my coat and umbrella as I walk out.
------------
"Hey, what's so important that I had to meet you here 9 at night?" I ask as I approach him. Before I can catch another breath, he kisses me hungrily, as if he's angry. I'm growing scared and worried by the second. I knew he had anger problems, I knew he wasn't always happy, I knew he was a bit selfish. But I accepted him, accepted to be with him, to be his girlfriend.
I notice that I'm wet and cold, umbrella dropped next to me cause of the sudden kiss. He doesn't stop even though he knows I'm not responding. He starts tugging at my shirt, moving it. Before I knew something would go wrong, I push him off my face and stare at him hard.
"What's wrong with you?!" I yell. He doesn't say a word.
"What... What happened to you?" I say above a whisper. There's still just a single silence. Us getting wet by the rain, standing next to a mary-go-round, and a sudden wind whips some of my wet hair on to my lips.
"I think it's right to say that I can't be with you anymore." I look down as I say so.
"Why." He replies. I see his fist clench through my wet vision.
"You know why. I haven't been happy with you, you haven't been happy with me. For the last two months we weren't happy. But when you're with someone, you're so suppose to be happy right? Smile everytime we see each other, laugh at memories. Instead... I'm staring at my walls when I try to sleep, thinking about whether or not this is right." I pause. Moving some hair out of my eyes I look at him. He stares back blankly with his dark eyes. He has purplish bags under his eyes. I guess he hasn't been sleeping either.
"So... it's over. I can't do it anymore." I say with a voice so hallow. I see his fist hasn't budged. So before the situation gets anymore depressing I turn my back and walk away. But unexpectedly, he grabs my wrist and kisses my again, so hard it hurts. It was then when I really got scared. I desperately pry him off, punching his chest, not to hard so that I don't hurt him. But when he didn't give up, I slapped him. Hard on his pale porcelain cheek. My shocked wide eyes stare at his eyes. And it was from there that I knew something was wrong. His eyes so dead, it scares me. Something from his eyes tells me to run, As fast as I can, for my life. So I do. And I hear him chasing after me. My heart pounds so heavily as I run into the woods, maybe I would loose him there.
About five minutes in running, I notice that my tears were mixing with the rain, the rain mixing with the mud which causes my to slip and tumble down the hill of woods. I panic, I'm actually afraid I'll die right there. But as I slam into a stern tall tree I feel the excruciating pain. The pain in my ankle, the pain on my ribs where I had crashed into the tree, the pain in my wrist where I tried to ease my fall. I try to get up, try to think clear but it becomes harder and harder as I see his figure walking closer and closer to me. And then all the sudden, he's right there. In my face, looking at me devilishly. From there something tells me that it's too late, it's the end. I lay there, eyes blank and dark, like my soul had run away from me because it didn't want to be apart of what came next.
I hear his fist slamming into my face, my arm, my legs. I feel the mud trailing all over me from his kicks, he suddenly grabs a fist of my hair and makes me look up at him. I've never been so scared in my life. But I don't say a word
"Why'd you leave me Sakura-chan? I just wanted to be with you. Forever. Cause that's what relationships are on right? Being there for each other forever?" I shiver at his twisted double meaning words. It was right then when I screamed. It was time, I was alerted. I screamed as loud as my throat would project, yelling till it went dry and sore.
"Shut up! Shut up!" He yells at me with all his might as he begins punching me again. But as if an angel had stopped him, or as if a demon had scared him, he runs off. As fast as he can, until I couldn't see him anymore. I lay there, bleeding and aching and realize that someone was slowly walking towards me.
"Holy-! Sakura! What- what happened?! What happened to you?!" It's Ino, Frantically asking me as she picks me up and hangs me over her shoulder. I smile just a bit. How lucky am I that Ino was by? But I realize the situation and I begin to cry harder.
"Sai! It was Sai!! He-he's mad! It was Sai!" I speak up, desperately.
"Oh god Sakura..."
---------------------
Sakura woke up screaming, panting, sweating. Grassy eyes staring wide in panic at the middle of the night, staring at nothing. She looks past her blonde friend and over to her digital clock.
Ten minutes till four
Still sitting straight up she looks frantically in her room searching for something, searching if he was there. And just like in her dream, she'd never been scared this much before.
She shakes her friend awake.
"Ino... wake up"
"mmm... Sakura it's four in the morning, what is it?" She mumbles back.
Sakura pauses before she answers.
"I had that dream again... Ino I'm scared." Sakura feels the bed shift as Ino turns on a lamp near the bed.
"Sakura... You know he can't hurt you again. You here now, in Konoha." Ino reassures her friend as she gently rubs her back up and down.
"I know. It's just... the dream is always real, like I traveled back there and I'm in that situation all over again."
"I was there for you then, and I'm here right now. I'll be there if that priss even decides to search up your address." She says with a confident smile.
"Thanks pig."
"Now go sleep, we'll talk about it in the morning."
"Yeah sure, okay." Ino lies back down and turns of the lamp. Moments later Sakura does the same. But her eyes still lost in a distance. Wondering and worrying.
---------------------------
"Coffee?"
"No thanks Ino." Sakura sits in her cozy kitchen table picking at her scrambled eggs.
"So tell me." Ino says as she sits down across from her.
"About?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"... I know somethings going on. I just know it."
"Know what?" Ino asks sipping her coffee.
"Something bad's going to happen. I don't know when, but I know it's going to happen."
"Look, Sakura, what happened that night, that... thing, it can't happen again. And I'll make sure of it."
"I hope so..." Sakura lets out a sigh as she gets up.
"I'm going to go get the mail."
"Mhm." Ino replies as she reads her magazine. Moments later she feels a thud infront of her, as she lets down her magazine, a letter is slapped on the table.
Ino eyes her friend curiously as she picks up the letter to read it.
Sakura-chan,
I missed you quite a lot. I'm sure you missed me too. I think about your delicious pink hair and those beautiful jaded eyes everytime before I sleep. I think about you a lot too. So, I'm just telling you that you might see me pretty soon.
-Sai.
"Nothing's going to happen huh?" Sakura says as she looks at her friends scared eyes.
