Author's Note- Well, I'm bored at home and have nothing to do. So I guess I'll just update my story. Make sure to review and let me know if I should continue this fanfic. I'm honestly thinking of leaving this story alone (I will most likely continue it though). Tell me what you guys think I should do.
The runaway note did not surprise Sakura's father at all. In fact, he expected this was going to happen. Slowly, he got up off of the chair and moved toward the window. He took a quick look outside and proceeded to close the window. Next he walked up to Sakura's closet and stood by it for a moment. He could hear sniffling coming from inside the closet. Slowly, he opened the closet door and sure enough, Sakura was crouched up under all her clothing with tears falling down her cheek.
Sakura's father sat down on the floor by Sakura and attempted to wipe off her tears. Before his hand could reach her cheek though, she pulled away from him.
"Sakura, I understand you're angry, but it has been a very long time," reasoned Sakura's father.
Sakura didn't seem to listen to a word he said. She even refused to look her father in the face.
"I've got a proposition for you sweety", said her father.
Sakura's raised her head a little, signaling her father to continue.
"How about I only date a woman that you approve of? That way you have a say in this whole thing", offered Sakura's father.
Sakura still didn't seem happy with this, but at least she was going to have some authority. And besides, it would be unfair if she denied her father happiness.
"Okay, we have a deal", responded Sakura.
"Alright then, lets seal this deal with a hug", said her father.
Sakura gave her father a hug and stepped out of her mini sanctuary.
"Well, I'm gonna go to sleep; I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow", mentioned Sakura.
Sakura's dad walked out of the room. Sakura started digging around under her bed after she was certain her father was out of sight. After tossing a few socks across the room, she found what she was looking for. It was a small cardboard box. She held it close to her as she went to close the door of her room.
She sat on the edge of her bed and slowly opened the box. Inside was a worn out teddy bear with a tiny vest on with a nametag reading "Max". She gave it a quick hug and gently placed it on her bed. She continued rummaging through the box.
After a minute of searching through the box, she found what she was looking for. It was a small photo album with a picture of a cherry blossom on the cover. Sakura blew the dust off of it and opened it.
Inside were picture of Sakura's mother and father from before they were married. Everybody had always said that Sakura had her mother's eyes but Sakura didn't notice it until now. Slowly she kept turning the pages.
She stopped when she saw the picture of her mother holding her as a baby in the hospital. Sakura had never gotten this far through the album. Every time she would take a look at the pictures, she would stop half way and close it. It was always to depressing to look at the whole thing.
A tear escaped Sakura's eyes and fell onto the photo. Sakura quickly closed the small book and crammed everything back into the box, except for Max. She shoved it under the bed and tightly hugged the teddy bear that was given to her mother gave to her before she passed away.
"I wish you were here mom. Things would be so much better. Why'd you have to die?" thought Sakura aloud.
And she lay on her bed holding back tears till she fell asleep. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
