So I decided not to write this one but just go ahead and type it. So the last chapter caused a lot of drama, I want to tell everyone that this is a Neji and Tenten story so they will end up together. I want to dedicate this chapter to my boyfriend! (hug) Please enjoy everyone!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You want me to go out with you." It was the way he said it, it sounded like he thought she was the last person on earth he wanted to go out with.

"……Yea" Tenten said after a long pause.

"Using me?" Gaara said more as a statement not a question.

"Uh…..." Tenten avoided those sharp eyes as they stared at her.

That look could scare anyone off.

"Something happened with you and Neji." He once again knew everything that was going on in her life.

"I dumped him." It was hard to say the words she regretted so much.

Why was she telling Gaara about her and Neji, they were suppose to be a secret.

She seemed to be seeing him around lately and she thought it was because he had a crush on her or something.

"Is that regret I hear?" Gaara pulled his locker open as Tenten looked for an excuse.

"Why have you been so nice to me lately?" Instead of an excuse she used something that would get him explaining.

Gaara looked briefly at her before returning to his locker.

Now she had him thinking.

"Your friends….." This was the hardest part of Gaara's life, admitting he needed people.

"I won't make you suffer, you don't have to say it. I know what you wanted." Now it made sense to her, Gaara wanted friends and he knew her already because of Temari.

"What about Temari?" Tenten knew he was part of Temari's group and most likely he would have her friends.

"She has her own…….people." Gaara said simply as he examined the side of his textbooks that were piled neatly on one of his locker shelves.

'People? He can't even say friends anymore.'

Tenten nodded to show her understanding.

"Come meet them." Tenten said in a more cheerful voice.

Gaara stared at her in confusion but, he erased that look once he noticed how it made him look.

"My friends. You should come meet them." Tenten shut his locker before he could turn to it again.

"You don't need anymore books." Tenten said as she looked over his books.

She had the same class as him and she knew he didn't need to keep gathering books. He was using it to keep himself busy so he wouldn't ramble or feel embarrassed in the conversation.

He gave her a glare before following her down the hallway.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Neji stared in shock and could feel his life falling to more pieces.

Not only did Tenten just dump him but, she already had a new boyfriend.

She walked with Gaara down the hallway giving a small but, sweet smile.

In just a few minutes, he already missed her smile and her added fun to everything.

He was already beginning to change back to his emotionless self.

He was broken, he was an idiot.

'Why'd I have to go and act like that. If only she knew I truly do care.'

Neji fell against the nearest wall, looking up at the roof.

'It's time to change, time to become the best boyfriend.'

Neji turned to leave but, stopped the moment he saw the other boy standing in front of him.

"Did Tenten dump you?" Tomeji said with laughing eyes.

"We weren't even going out in the first place." Neji gave the boy a glare as he stood up straighter.

"Cut the act! I know you were and now she dumped you and she made a big deal about it that it breaks your heart seeing her by herself." Tomeji shouted this as his eyes began spilling with tears.

Neji really wanted to hit the kid right now, Tenten had only crushed on this kid she hadn't fallen in love with him.

He didn't hit him though.

He stopped, thinking about Tenten and him.

Was he just a crush, did she not really love him.

Neji looked at Tomeji again, this time he felt like the one that needed to cry. Of course he wouldn't, not in front of anyone.

"Get over yourself." Neji said finally.

"Admit it already! She makes you feel awful even if it wasn't your fault. She likes it, she likes making people feel bad." Tomeji rambled on again.

Tomeji was so much like him, broken.

Broken by one thing, Tenten.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tenten stood before the corner, looking at Gaara.

He returned her stare with easily.

"So, you have no feelings for me at all?" Tenten wanted a direct answer.

"I have feelings for no one." Gaara replied simply.

'Typical.'

Tenten mentally rolled her eyes.

"Well, have fun." She pulled her back pack strap up her shoulder more.

"Where are you going?" Gaara asked as he looked around the corner.

"I don't want to be around these people." Tenten replied as she gave an awkward smile.

"Neji might be there." Gaara guessed.

"Hinata knows about Neji, Shikamaru knows and I'm thinking Ino almost has us figured." Tenten sighed as she tried to sort her thoughts.

She was trying to pull herself together, all she really wanted was to be home with a big bowl of popcorn.

Gaara turned the corner, not bothering to end the conversation.

Tenten decided it would be a good idea to get to her class earlier then usual.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shikamaru shook his head again.

Neji was definitely depressed, he was pulling the emotionless act again.

"So, you got the tape for me?" Shikamaru asked, trying to get his friend talking.

"Hn." The same answer he was getting for everything.

"Shikamaru!" He cringed at the sound of her voice.

She could really scream when she wanted his attention.

He turned to Ino with his usual bored expression.

"Hi, Neji" Ino waved from where she stood, smiling as much as she could.

"Hn." Was his reply.

Shikamaru shook his head once again.

"Guess what." Ino smiled at the boys.

Both boys just waited for her to continue.

"I am now president of a fanclub!" She began jumping up and down.

Shikamaru turned to his best friend.

"Does this amuse you?" He asked in an annoyed voice.

Shikamaru didn't want to hear Ino talk about her new guy obsession.

"Hn." Was the bored reply.

"You don't even know who the guy is." Ino pouted.

"Don't need to." He turned back to the loud blond.

"Even if it's you." She smiled when she saw his face drop.

"Can we have some privacy?" Shikamaru turned to look At his friend.

"Hn."

Shikamaru was starting to get annoyed by the constant answer. Though his friend was leaving anyway.

Tenten finally feel into her bed, mumbling softly to herself.

'I've been dumped before, maybe I feel worst now because I was the one dumping.'

She didn't even feel good enough to eat anything.

Crying was the only thing she felt like doing.

She picked up the phone, about to dial Neji's number.

She placed it down after she thought about it.

Getting over it was what she needed.

She was starting to mentally slap herself, wishing she had never done that to Neji.

She needed someone to put her together.

She was going to use Gaara to get over Neji but, that's what she did to get over Tomeji.

Tomeji?

She got over him, why was this such a bigger problem.

Tenten knew she was regretting it already and she knew why.

It was him, he was the one she loved.

Regret was something she would not live with, not if it made her life this miserable and Neji was probably not taking it well.

'Neji.'

Just remembering him made her give a cute smile.

All the things he had done for her.

She hadn't done anything for him, it was him who cared for her when she was feeling bad by the flu shot. It was him who comforted her after Neji's party, also he hugged her in the library. She hadn't done anything.

It was her chance, she owed him.

She wanted him, no one else wanted him as much as she did.

She laid there thinking how it would feel if he was there beside her, his breathing soothing her heartbeat, his arms holding her close and his gentle whispering of his love for her.

No more doubt, she knew it now.

She loved him and he loved her.

Regret was done, she needed something to be proud of.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

He usually wasn't the type to be moping around but, there was no one to lose his pride to.

No one was watching, he was alone and he needed to get his depression out.

She had to dump him, she just had to.

Even though she broke his heart, he still loved her.

He didn't join Tomeji and his crazy plans.

He knew Tomeji wanted to get back at Neji because he had Tenten. Now that she had dumped him, Tomeji saw this as a perfect chance to get Neji on his side to get revenge on Tenten.

The kid just wanted to get revenge on someone.

Neji was pondering whether or not he should join Tomeji, revenge seemed to be a great way to get the frustration out.

First depression and now revenge.

Neji sighed as he rolled over on his couch.

He was pathetic, Sasuke or Gaara wouldn't be laying around like this.

Neji's mind wondered off to when Tenten came over and been with him.

He could remember her snuggling closer as she began drifting into a sleep.

Her sweet smile told him how happy she was to be in his arms.

Did she want him to hold her like that again?

'I want her close again.'

Neji sat up, his long hair tangled in some areas.

Did she want him to love her like that again?

All he had was questions with no answers.

Neji ran his fingers through his hair, fixing his frizzed hair.

After he fixed it, he fell back into his laying position.

He wasn't going to do anything, not this time.

She needed to put his broken heart together again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

There we go, lots of emotion. Next chapter will give Neji answers. Can Tenten fix the problem she created or will she fail horribly. I just want to remind you of one person who might really get into this again, Temari. Yes, I'm bringing this girl in again. I hope you guys enjoyed and I want to see you review!

Matashda,
