Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, "Marry me, Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
"Sakura, I think you need to hear this." Shizune called out for Sakura.
I feel like me and Sakura might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous
"This! He never told me anything about these lyrics! I mean, the first part, yes, but not that last one! This is obnoxious!" Sakura yelled. She is this close to exploding at her publicist, Shizune, but the poor woman has nothing to do with all of this mess. This is created by a guy who thinks of himself better than any woman on the planet.
"Shizune, this has to stop. I will not be silent by these accusations. I will be releasing a statement."
"Yes, that's the right thing to do but you will be releasing that statement through me and not have a press conference. Let me handle this." Shizune explained.
"Okay, I trust you. Thank you, Shizune." Sakura acquiesced but there is still a nagging dread in the pit of her stomach regarding this issue. She's not a stranger to scandals and issues regarding her career and personal life but this sends off alarm bells in her head. She thought that the issue with Killer B has been done and shut but another one involving the guy has come up.
When will I have room to breathe from these issues? This is getting tiresome.
Latest News: According to Haruno Sakura's spokesperson, "Killer B did call her about a new song and let her hear a part of it but not the entirety. Sakura was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that bitch famous.' Sakura would never approve of releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message."
Sakura stared at the TV and prayed that this will end soon and that everyone will see the truth behind all of these problems.
And she was utterly wrong, people flocked social media to give their two cents on the issue. Some are siding with her, but the others are calling her a liar and that there is some truth in the lyrics. Maybe it was the bitch part or that she got famous because of the guy. They believe that the humiliation she endured when she was still a 19-year-old up and coming pop star is the reason why she is enjoying her fame now!?
This is absurd! I suffered a lot from that situation, and everyone just forgets everything that has happened!
Sakura decided to call her best friend, Ino, to vent out all of these frustrations. She knows that Ino will be there for her through thick and thin but before she was able to dial Ino's number, her phone rings and she checks the caller ID, it is her mom.
"Hey, Mom." She answered trying to be confident in front of her mom.
"Sakura, dear. How are you? I've seen the news. That is utterly disgusting! How could he do that? Are you okay, honey?" Haruno Mebuki hurriedly tried to console her only daughter. Being away from Sakura is hard enough but having a daughter as one of the most popular pop stars in Konoha is harder.
"Yes, Mom. I'm okay. Shizune did a great job deflecting the issue. I hope that this will end soon. Sorry for making you worry." Sakura answered her mom sincerely,
"Oh, honey. We miss you so much. I know this issue will be too much for you since you just finished your world tour and all, but I hope you can visit Suna soon. Visiting us might be a good thing for you. You can relax here and maybe forget your life there in Konoha for a while. Your Dad misses you so much." Her mom was on the verge of crying on the other line.
"Mom, sorry for always making you worry. Don't worry about me here. I have lots of friends who support and believe in me. I have Shizune and Ino here. I'm sorry but I cannot visit now. The Hashi award will be just in a couple of months and my team, and I are very busy planning everything for it. I really am sorry, Mom. I miss Dad too, but I hope you understand." Sakura explained to her mom that even though she wants to fling her arms around her parents and stay with them to wait out the storm, she knows that running away is not a choice. If they hurl her tornadoes, she will kick it back at them twice as hard.
"It's okay, honey. We understand. We know that this is your dream, and we support you fully. Just know that we are here supporting you from the sidelines. We love you so much, Sakura." Mebuki tried her best not to cry but it was Sakura's dam of tears that burst.
"Mom, you're making me cry." She sniffles. "I promise I will come to visit once everything settles again." She promised her mom.
"Okay, dear. It's already getting late there, and I know you need to have all the energy. I will not take too long of your time. Please take care. We love you."
"Thank you, Mom. Please tell Dad, I love him and to take easy on his work." Sakura ended the call in better spirits and resolved to end this new drama hurled at her.
It's already late. I'll call Ino tomorrow and ask about that mystery guy she has not introduced to me yet. I hope that will take my mind off these things.
And with that, Sakura turns off her bedside lamp and dreams of a pearly-eyed guy with a soothing voice.
Author's Notes:
Hi, guys! As you may have guessed already, this SasuSaku fanfiction is loosely based on Taylor Swift's life. I am obsessed with SasuSaku being a member of FF for 7 years now and being a reader way longer than that. This is my first time writing a story. I am not confident with my writing but here I am trying new things during this time of the pandemic.
I am currently obsessed with Folklore and finding out Taylor's relationship with Joe. To tell you the truth, I am not a Swiftie but as a girl growing up listening to her songs, I guess all this time I am interested in how she is as an artist. In my opinion, Joe being in the picture really changed Taylor and that is very dreamy and romantic, and decided to make a SasuSaku fanfic from it.
There are not a lot of SasuSaku celebrity AUs out there but there are some that are just works of art. Please check Celebrity Status by Einna Fletcher and Fade In by connectedfeelings. Lastly, I will not be giving hints on who will be who in Taylor/Sakura's life in this fanfic and I will be making some changes (might be huge changes!). Please tune in for more! I hope you'll let me know what you think of this new fanfic.
Thank you!
