I woke up not even bothering to open my eyes, I knew exactly where I was. The hospital, oh how I hate these things. I have always hated hospitals because I am always in them.
"Wasn't I just here the other night" I heard people laugh and I opened my eyes. There was aqua,kankuro,kiba,temari,tenten,neji,sai,hinata,Itachi, and the little boy that I saved all crowed up near my bed. In the courner of my eye I seen gaara, he's trying not to care but I know he does. I looked over toward the clock and seen it was around 11:00 in the morning.
"Why are all of you doing here" Full awake now, sliding up holding my side.
"Sorry sakura I called tenten and aqua and I guess it spread" Sai explained and I tryed to laugh but it hurt to much.
"Sakura don't strain yourself" I looked over at tenten and smiled. These are really my real friends, I know that they will do anything for me.
"Arn't all of you missing school" I asked and most of them shrugged.
"Sakura we are going to miss school when our friends hurt, when your hurt its like the whole group is hurt" Temari said and everyone was nodding there head agreeing.
"Thanks, but I wonder what the P/E teacher is going to say when she see's half of her class missing" They laughed and I did too but it hurt too much.
"Wha, What is this" Everyone turned toward the door to see the nurse.
"Yeah sakura, she told us 1 at a time and we kinda waited till she wasn't looking and sneaked in here" Tenten whispered to me and I was about to laugh but stopped myself.
"Everyone come on get out, I told you one at a time, now out" She said and people were telling me they will be right outside.
"Wait" I looked to see a police officer. "Everyone who was involved when sakura got shot stay in here, everyone else leave" He said and little brother, I still dont know his name. Well him and sai stood back and walked back toward me. Then when the police man turned back around I noticed him.
"alex" I said and he smiled and nodded at me
"Hey little squrt" Alex said coming over pulling the chairs near me for all of them to sit in. Then he bent down and hugged my only good side. Thats when I noticed my arm didn't hurt anymore but had a bandage wrapped around it.
"How do you two know each other" Sai asked alex
"Oh I'm only five years older then her, so her dad use to watch me when I was little and when I went for the force he gave me some pointers." Alex explained and I smiled.
"Still can't believe it after like four years you haven't changed" I told him
"Neither have you, still being the reakless little squrt" He said and I laughed holding my side because it hurt.
"Okay so your going to ask us what happened" I asked
"Yes, I will get your point of view then if ither of you two boys disagree with it then I will hear your storys" We all nodded our heads.
"Okay well it all happened when ughh" I looked over at the little brother.
"Ivan" He said and I smiled at him.
"Okay when ivan and his big brother came busted through the window in the livingroom" Alex looked over at ivan giving him a glare.
"Me and sai were in my bedroom and we heard the crash."
"wait you two" Alex looked over between us. "Sakura your dad wouldn't allow-
"Nothing happened, I didn't want to be alone and when we woke up it was around 3:00 in the morning, I went to the bathroom and when I came out I found him in my room because we were sleeping in my dads room." I said pissed a little bit.
"Sakura calm down I wont tell him anything, go on with your story" Sai put his hand on mine and I calmed down for a second.
"Okay well sai went to try and well I don't know but I heard the bigger brother say something about killing him and thats when I stepped in. The big brother grabed me and gave the gun to ivan and told him he needs to learn and kill sai. Well ivan was trembling not wanting to do it but his big brother was forcing him. Then out of no where sai kicked the guns out of his hands, runs over and gets me and we make our way out. When I turn around I seen the big brother kick ivan, then was going to shoot him and I couldn't have that so I ran back and toward him, thats why I got shot" I put my hand on ivans and he frowned at me.
"I'm sorry sakura, I never did want too" ivan told me
"Thats okay but sence you were most likely involved in the other break-in's you have to come down town" The boy started crying and I looked over at him then back at alex.
"But he didn't actually do it, he was forced, can't you just drop the charges against him and get his brother" The boy looked at me and I winked at him.
"Sakura. I-i, okay fine, but where do you live so I can go get your brother and take you home" Alex asked ivan.
"Atlanta, georgia" even that one got my attention
"What the hell are you doing all the way out here" I asked wondering how the hell that happens.
"My parents think I am on a two week trip with the boy scouts but my brother grabed me before I got on the bus" Ivan told us.
"Oh I'm sorry Ivan" He looked at me and frowned and he grabed my hand.
"I am the only one who should be saying that for everything that I have done-" Ivan started
"No Ivan you were forced, I chose to jump ouut and save you, so don't you go hating yourself thinking that it was all your fault when it wasn't" I smiled at him.
"okay you guys me and ivan has got an road trip to take" Alex said standing up and ivan stood up with him.
"Your not bad at all sakura" Ivan said as he reached down and hugged me.
"Neither are you" I told him back and him and alex left.
"So sakura, how are you feeling, need anything at all" sai asked moving over to the chair closest to me.
"No wait maybe something" I smiled and looked at his face. "Kiss me" I told him.
He smiled and bent over and kissed me lightly on the lips. "Sakura your stiches in your arm got ripped so the nurse just took them out and bandaged them, and of course your side which has stiches in it" I was about to laugh when someone came through the door. Sai looked back and blocked me from gaara.
"Only one at a time, remember" Sai said sounding really pissed. Gaara just shoved him to the side and headed toward me. Sai was looking really pissed and I knew that gaara could really hurt or even kill sai if he got really mad.
"Sai its okay" I told him to try and get them to not fight. Gaara came over to me and leaned down to whisper in my ear.
"You alright?" Gaara asked me in his normal tone but I could tell that there was worrying by his eyes.
"Gaara I'm fine really, my arm doesn't hurt anymore and my side doesn't hurt at all ither" I told him hoping the flair in his eyes would fade because he was pissed.
"Remember I am a vampire, I can tell when your lying" He whispered in my ear then looked into my eyes with his. Damn I can't keep anything from him, it sucks but it comes in handy if you want a good friend. I looked over to see sai pissed that he was this close to me.
"Fine" I looked back at gaara "Sai could you step out for a minute" I asked sai.
"No, I wont leave you in here with him" Sai said coming up on my side opposite from gaara.
"Sai I'll be fine" I said and sai looked pissed and gaara looked amused that sai was pissed. Gaara and sai both walked to the end of my bed staring at each other and I was worried like crazy hoping they wouldn't do what I think they were going to do.
"Sakura I'm not stepping out" Sai said loudly and in a voice I never heard before and it scared me a little.
"Don't talk to her like that" I looked up shocked to see gaara actually standing up for me and talking.
"Have you forgoten something" Sai smiled "She's not your girl anymore, she's mine" I seen something go off in both of them but I could see gaara holding it back by smirking making sai more pissed.
"Guys" I said but they didn't pay attention to me
"Guys" I yelled and had to grabed my side because it hurt, thats when gaara looked toward me and sai threw a punch. Thats when it went all to hell, gaara dunked the punch and hit sai in the stomach sending him back but he was still on his feet. I knew gaara could have threw him with one punch but for some reason he's not. I looked to see them fighting now, punching back and forth.
"Stop it guys, please" I looked over and reached for the nurse button which hurt my side but I didn't even have to because in the matter of minutes everyone heard them and busted in. Kiba grabed sai and kankuro grabed gaara.
"All you guys get the hell out of here, kankuro just take gaara home" Temari yelled.
"No I'm not leaving sakura" sai told temari with kiba still holding making sure he wouldn't hit gaara again.
"Yes you go now" Temari yelled and I have never seen her like that before and the guys started clearing the room.
"Can I say something real quick" I seen itachi ask temari and she nodded. Itachi can beside my bed and looked at me.
"I'm sorry about everything" That was all he said then he left with the others.
After all the boys cleared out, temari shut and locked the door with just us girls in the room now.
"Sakura were they fighting over you" tenten asked once she sat down in one of the chairs.
"ughh well yes but it ain't like I can just get up and stop them by force plus they wouldn't listen" I explained
"Duh there guys, but it isn't your fault" temari said making me feel a little bit better.
"Sakura, Didn't you just meet sai the other day at work" Aqua asked a little behind then the others
"Yeah but then he helped me out at a party, and lets just say I really need to learn more about my guys before I even start dating them" I said relizing I let them in without knowing anything about them.
"So what are you saying sakura" Tenten asked acting like she was paying so much attention.
"I might just let it all go and stop for a while, get to know all of them as friends and nothing more unless I want it" I said looking around at everyone
"Good idea sakura" tenten spoke and I smiled at her.
"wait how are all of you even allowed in here" i asked them and they all looked toward aqua.
"What, I just told her that you needed your friends sence your dad wont be around any time soon" I smiled at her and she laughed. Thats when I looked around noticing that hinata was the only girl missing
"Where hinata?" I asked
"Oh her and kiba went to get some food for us" Tenten said. I looked around and pulled my self up sitting up but when temari noticed what I was doing all of them was at my side helping me. My side hurt like hell and I know that I will now have another scar.
"So sakura while we are here do you want to play cards" aqua said pulling cards out of her purse.
"Sure" I told them. temari put the bed-table thing on my bed and all of us girls crowded around it.
"Okay we are going to play poker okay" Aqua said and all of us just nodded.
We played cards for a while, aqua beat all of us a lot but then I started catching up with her but she still was in the lead and won the game. Then the door opened and we seen hinata and kiba come in carrying like 4 bags of food.
"Okay is all of this for us?" I asked wondering if any was for the boys.
"yes, me and sai have our own bag" kiba said laughing at me and left. hinata passed the bags on, they bought so many burgers and fries. I just chose something and started eating it. I was so hungrey because I haven't ate sence yesturday and being unconious really makes you hungrey. I ate two burgers and still wasn't full, thats when they started laughing at me and I laughed back hurting but happy.
"Girls" everyone looked toward the door to see the nurse who walked in. "Visting hours is over, I'm sorry you have to leave" She said and all my girls frowned.
"Its okay guys, I'll just see you tomorrow or whenever" I told them before they started hugging me like crazy.
"We will be here tomorrow, you can count on that sakura" Temari said moving the table off the bed.
"Better be" I told her and she laughed and left.
"Sakura are you in pain" The nurse said when all of my friends were gone.
"Yes, so much" I said not trying to hold it in anymore. The nurse came over and pushed a button that made drugs run into my veins.
"This drug will make you sleepy after a while, okay" She said and turned around then there was sai at the doorway.
"I'm sorry son but visting hours are over-
"Please just give us a minute" I asked the nurse and she nodded and walked out. sai walked in and shut the door behind him. Sai came over beside me and grabed my hand.
"Aqua said you might want to tell me something" Sai said and he was so calm from earlier.
"Yeah umm We only been together, well not even one day but I have been going to fast with the dating thing"
"Your breaking up with me" Sai asked
"No, no, ughh yes" I frowned and looked down "I just have to get to know you before I start to just decide that I like you, I just want to slow down, friends?" I asked hoping he would still be my friend.
"okay" sai said and just walked out. Really why would you just walk out after I broke up with you. Damn you think if he liked you he would stay and fight to try and stay together. I did it, I am single again and it feels good but really lonly. I suddenly felt a breeze and looked over toward the window and seen gaara and suddenly jolted because he scared the shit out of me.
"I'm sorry, sorry" He said apologizing.
"What are you doing here" I asked him. Gaara came over and took the seat beside me.
"i came to say I was sorry about earlier, and now I am sorry about that and about you and sai breaking up" Of course he heard because he has vampire ears.
"Well I am just staying single for a while, Not moving fast because I always end up screwed when I do" I said looking down.
"Sakura" Gaara cupped my cheek and made me look at him but then I looked back away because I couldn't stand to look at him. I felt tears in my eyes and couldn't help but let them fall. When I felt the bed move I looked over to see gaara leaning now. I looked back at him and he looked sad. He put his and back up to cup my cheek and wiped my tears away. I put my hand on his and felt the warmth of his hand on my face and I closed my eyes.
"Gaara" I said opening my eyes. "I love you, I always did even if I acted like I didn't. I really only tryed to forget you with sai but it didn't work, I liked sai but I love you but I'm just not ready for that right now" I said trying to make sense.
"Sakura just sleep don't worry about any of that right now" Gaara told me and I laid down looking toward him. Gaara pulled the chair even closer and leaned his head on the bed next to mine.
"What if they decided to check on me" I asked him
"I will hear them and leave before they come in" Gaara told me and I smiled and fell asleep
