Fitting In
Chapter 11 – The House Party
"Bloody hell Ino how loud do you want this music?" Sasuke laughed as we stepped over the threshold and into Inos house, where most people were already drinking, dancing and generally having a good time.
"Louder than this that's for sure Sasuke!" Ino replied with a bright smile and a bit of a blush gently streaking her pale cheeks.
I smiled at my best friends antics; it was incredibly obvious that Ino was battling with her emotions to stop herself from collapsing with happiness.
It wasn't every day that Sasuke Uchiha actually spoke to her.
I have a feeling in my gut that tonight is going to go well. I mean it's started so wonderfully there is no doubt that it will end that way too!
I had spent absolutely hours getting ready for tonight, taking particular care on my newly pink hair, that Ino had carefully dyed back the day before. Yet even after what seemed an eternity I hadn't been able to fix it in the way that I had hoped.
If it weren't for Hinata (who was at my place to get ready) I probably would have imploded from the frustration.
That girl must be born to be a hairdresser! I don't know how she did it, but in a mere 20 minutes my hair was flowing in gently curls to just below my shoulders!
I want to marry her!
The outfit wasn't that hard, because as a self-proclaimed shopoholic I had oodles of clothes, much to Hinatas relief.
Tonight was after all her big date with Naruto, and she was unbelievably unprepared! So needless to say having her pick of my wardrobe set her mind at rest.
After much contemplation I decided on a black, spaghetti strap knee, length dress and black ballet pumps for the dark haired girl.
I know what your thinking, "Why the hell get Hinata to wear a dress that nice to a flipping house party?" but it's the sort that's sexy, but casual, so she can totally get away with it!
And I don't care if she spills beer on it, because this is her big date and it has to go well!
I myself decided against a dress and instead went for black FCUK skinny jeans, with a tight red t-shirt and black waistcoat, along with a pair of red dolly shoes, with a small black bow on the front.
So incredibly Chic even if I say so myself! Courtesy of my last shopping trip in France!
Not a minute after we had pulled on our shoes, the doorbell rang and there stood an incredibly Sheepish Naruto and a cool and collected Sasuke.
Of course within minutes Hinata and Naruto had disappeared into the dark of night, leaving Sasuke and me alone on my doorstep, whilst I fiddled with the front door key.
"You look really nice Sakura!" He had breathed in my ear, as he placed a hand on my hip and steered me over to his new car.
The dark haired Uchiha had turned 17 a few months previous and was finally legally aloud to drive.
It didn't half solve the problem of transport to Inos, the last thing I wanted was to ring my own parents up and beg for a lift!
So yes tonight was going brilliantly and I intend for it to end that way too!
"Come on you crazy retards lets get you some booze!" Ino laughed over the loud din coming from the speakers.
"Sure what the hell!" Sasuke replied with another smile.
Whoa someone call the police the Uchiha smiled again at a girl he barely knows?
What the hell is the world coming to?
My thought track was cut short when Sasuke placed a drink of Bacardi in my hand and took my other in his, before directing me to the living room, where Ino had cleared away the sofas, leaving a large space free to dance in.
And so the booze did roll.
And roll
…
And roll!
"God Sakura you look dead hot tonight!" Sasuke slurred after downing his drink and reaching for one that was set on top of the CD player.
"Why thank you Uchiha boy! You look pretty damn fine yourself!" I laughed back politely.
Well he did look nice, but I don't think I'd go as far as describing him as hot. Just cute enough I guess.
I was being polite.
God what am I talking about he is hot right?
I mean he's Sasuke and he likes me! Why should I complain?
Well I do know why I'm complaining, but I'm not going to think about that tonight, especially with sasukes hands on my waist, turning me in time to the music.
I causally lifted my arms up above my head and started to dance gently against his body, laughing and smiling as the songs droned on. It was kid of nice having his chest so close to mine, breathing in his soft smell of Lynx.
Song after song was pumped out of the speakers.
I just lost my self in them.
"Sakura shall we go outside?" Sasuke suddenly muttered in my ear, pulling my body closer to his in a demanding hug.
"Umm why? I'm having fun in here!" I replied innocently.
Oh course I knew why! I'm not an idiot!
I just didn't know if I wanted to make out with him in a fucking bush.
"You know why Sakura! Come on I haven't ever got off with you and now might be a good time!" he breathed, smiling against the top of my neck.
Think
Think
THINK!!!
Do you want this right now?
No I don't I really don't
I like him a lot, and it's flattering.
But not right now
"Umm get me another drink and I'll think about I!" I said softly, in a voice that I hoped sounded cheeky and not reluctant.
I watched as he raised his delicate eyebrows in a slightly annoyed manner, and sighed out in relief. He hadn't taken it the wrong way.
"Fine whatever I'll get you the bloody drink"
Ok maybe he had slightly, but he'll be back in a minute so no worrying!
Right?
I felt slightly alone now, standing by myself in the throng of dancers.
It's a pretty horrible feeling, not knowing many people.
"Hey Sak I didn't realise you were here!" came a loud voice from somewhere over my shoulder.
"Hey TenTen!" I cried in relief turning around to face the brown haired girl who was standing casually by the window.
"So what do you think of the party?" she asked as I walked over to talk to her.
"Yeah it's ok, Sasuke's in a bit of a pissy, but isn't he always? Probably be fine in a minute!"
"Yeah well that's usually what happens with hot guys!" she replied with a smile.
"Well doesn't stop your Neji, and he isn't even hot girl!" I laughed poking her on the arm.
"Hey Neji is so hot, and he never gets into a pissy unless you flick PAINT in his hair!" TenTen giggled in reply.
"Not my fault! Naruto put me up to it! Where is your boyfriend anyway?"
"Studying. He has his exams coming up! So I'm all on me lonesome tonight mate!"
"Damn! I guess that's the price to pay when you date a genius! God these Geeks I will never understand them!"
"Yeah well at least they aren't like those damn Greebos!"
Gaara.
Why does everything seem to remind me of him?
Why can't I just move on?
I have great friends, a boyfriend who cares, loving parents and good grades.
So why has god decided I would be burdened with a heart that's unable to heal.
You know I just need Sasuke to tell me it's ok.
He has a knack of making everything better.
"Ten, look I had better go and find Sasuke! I'll catch you later!" I said with a friendly smile, before turning on my heel and jumping into the crowd of dancing people.
God I just can't see him anywhere.
But he has to be around somewhere, I mean he said he be back, with a drink, right?
Ok checking around me.
…
Ok nope not there.
Geez just like him to disappear off the face of the earth!
"Sakura you ok?"
I jumped slightly and swivelled around to see Naruto sitting on a couch with Hinata cuddled up on his lap, playing with his hair.
"What yeah I'm fine, just looking for Sasuke!" I replied.
"Oh well we haven't seen him around. Maybe he's in the kitchen or the bathroom?" Hinata said whilst gently kissing Narutos ear.
I took this as my not so subtle hint to leave.
"Ok I'll go check."
Well at least they seem really happy! I just knew those two would work out!
I mean come on they're a match made in heaven!
I dragged myself over to the kitchen, where there were a whole bunch of kids downing drink after drink. Stopping to check for the Uchiha I took up a drink myself and downed it.
God I just can't believe he's gone and run off!
No I bet he's here somewhere, I just have to keep looking.
Because Sasuke wouldn't hurt me! Nope, no, no, no, he wouldn't!
I stumbled through the people and towards the stairs.
Not really such a good Idea to tackle these drunk, but oh well!
I clambered up them and along the landing, towards the place where I knew the bathroom was situated.
I gently edged open the door and peered inside …
EWW SO DIDN'T NEED TO SEE THAT!!
No kidding that was so gross!
I mean who in the hell pees in a bloody bathtub?
Choji that's who!
ERGH I FEEL SICK!!
Ok so Sasuke was definitely not in there! Inos room?
Probably not!
Oh shit I just tripped over someone.
I glanced down as I stumbled over a couple.
God look at them all tongue locked, Jesus get a room!
"Guys come one not on the stairs!" I muttered kicking them apart …
Oh no
Oh my god
You are kidding me
That blonde head …
Ino!
And for fucks sake I recognise that dark hair anywhere.
Sasuke.
Making out on the stairs!
The 2 people who wouldn't hurt me?
No this isn't happening they wouldn't do that right? No booze talking!
"Oh Sak hey! … Oh no Sak look not what it looks like!" Ino stuttered as she saw my face.
I couldn't help but clutch my chest. All I could feel was my heart breaking even more.
Crack.
I just can't believe them!
They know just how much pain I've been through!
HOW COULD THEY!!
Shit I have to get out of this damn house!
I felt my legs tear there way down the stairs catching on the banister and tearing my skinnys slightly and cutting into my skin letting a small trickle of blood flow down my calf.
"SAK WAIT!"
Ino was running down after me, but I just couldn't turn around.
No I didn't want to turn around.
My life was so over.
Gaara was right about everything.
Sasuke did hurt me.
He hurt me so much, and I just don't want to live anymore.
I concentrated on the pain coming from the scratch in my leg, as I stumbled out of the front door.
It sort of helped. Pain masked pain…
Oh who am I kidding this hurt too much.
First Gaara
Then Ino and Sasuke.
Everyone has hurt me.
Everyone.
And the most painful thing in all of this is the fact that even after everything.
I just want Gaara to hold me close and let me cry.
I want him so much.
And suddenly it all happens. Sasukes a man whore, Ino takes advantage.
And Sakura just can't stop the longing for Gaara.
But whats going to happen next? Where does she go now she's walked out? And will she ever forgive Gaara?
You'll find out in the next 3 chapters.
