Chapter 26 – Twisted Begining

'Beep'

'Beep'

'Beep'

"Stupid alarm clo—hey that's odd...I don't remember turning this thing on..." Sakuragrumbled to herself as she got out of bed. She checked the clock and it was half past nine already.

"That was a good sleep right Yuki?" She asked and looked over to her cat who was still sleeping under her blanket.

'Beep'

'Beep'

"What the heck is that! It's getting annoying!" Sakura cried and started searching for the source of the noise and found out that the sound came from her cell phone.

"A message from Sasuke."

She opened the message and her eyes scan over the writing.

Come to my house at ten o-clock. See you...

Inner Sakura: What the heck again! He expects me to go to his house suddenly without telling me first! There's something odd about his message though, he always shortens his message by writing in MSN mode...oh well.


AN: What I mean by MSN mode is that instead of 'Come to my house at ten o-clock. See you...' its 'Come 2 my house at 10, c u.'
Sakura suddenly remembered that it's already nine thirty so she quickly got dressed and hopped into her car. On the way she saw that she had mail so she took it with her not bothering to look at the address. She was getting better and better at driving now and it has almost become second nature to her. All she has to do now is wait for the driver's test.

Somebody must have seen her coming for they opened the Uchiha mansion gate for her. She just parked her car in front of the front door and Jin came to greet her.

"Good morning Jin-san!" Sakura said cheerfully.

"Good morning Miss Haruno." Jinanswered back trying to beas cheerful as possible.

"Is something wrong?" she asked. Jin had this sad expression on his face and she wasgetting worried.

"Nope, nothing is wrong. Please follow me, they're waiting for you." He said as he led the way.

Inner Sakura: They're?

Jin led her to the dinning room and Sakura saw that somebody was in the room too. She looked over and saw an expressionless Fugaku and a very angry Mikoto by his side.They were both sitting down and Mikoto was glaring at her husband. Looking over to the rightshe saw that Kakashi-sensei was also standing by them.

"Hello Miss Haruno." Fugaku greeted.

"Uh...hello Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha. Hello Kakashi-sensei." She answered unsurely. Sasuke was nowhere to be seen and already she was really confused. Her stomach lurched, she had a feeling that this was going to be very, very bad.

"We're—"

"You." Mikoto interrupted her husband coldly and continued to glare at him. Sakura had never seen Mikoto so angry before.

"I..."Fugaku corrected himself, " am very sorry about all this but I presume that you got our—"

"Your." Mikoto interrupted again, this time her voice was even colder and steely.

"My," The billionaire corrected himself impatiently before continuing, "letter."

"Um s-sorry but I haven't checked them yet." She said nervously.

"Oh, that's a shame. Well I guess we-"

"YOU!" Mikoto said it loud and clear for the last time before she truly exploded if Fugaku made another mistake again.

"I..." Fugaku, yet again corrected himself and was becoming angrier too proceeded, "shall just have to explain everything to you then."

Sakura didn't know what to say so she let him go on.

"I am very concerned about Sasuke's well being and the company's well being. And I would like to make a deal with you; I'll pay you one million dollars if you break up with Sasuke." He offered.

Inner Sakura: So this is what all this is about huh! That old man doesn't even care about Sasuke, well being my ass! There's no way I'll break up with Sasuke just for the sake of money!

"I'm sorry but-"

"I can raise up to a billion." He interrupted.

Inner Sakura: Shut up old man! Grr...I knew I need to face with this situation sooner or later...I bet I'm the reason why he looked so angry at that business banquet.

"NO! If you think money is going to make me break up with Sasuke then you're wrong!" She said angrily.

Jin, Milly, and all the servants were all looking at Sakura with admiration and sadness. Even the young female servants that hated her for getting Sasuke looked at her with awe and silently cheering her on. Despite the fact that Sasuke was taken they could always wish for his happiness.

Mikoto looked at Sakura warmly then looked at Fugaku with anger. She had tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen. She planned to divorce someday, but love isn't easy to throw away. With all his flaws, she still loved him. Right now though, whether or not she loved him she was angry at him.

"I'll make it three billion then!" Fugaku snapped.

"I said I don't want to!" Sakura shouted.

Fugaku's black orbs turned to slits and said in a thin icy voice, "Fine, if you don't want to accept I have no choice then. I'll just have to force you! I'll make your fami-"

"No you can't!" Mikoto shouted and stood up. "If you're going to do anything to the girl you'll be sorry!"

"Grr..."

Why did he fall in love with such a troublesome wife?

"I knew it would come to this...Jin go call her!" he ordered.

Jin nodded glumly and went away.

Inner Sakura: What the hell is going on!

A few moments later, Jin came in followed by a very, very, VERY beautiful girl that looked as though she was around Sakura's age.

She had long black hair like the Uchiha's and her eyes had the most magnificent dark glow to it. Her skin was slightly tanned and she was a little bit taller than Sakura. She was wearing a blue cami, purple skirts and cowboy boots.

The girl looked curiously over to Sakura but kept her mouth shut and walked over to Fugaku.

"YOU ACCEPTED!" Mikoto shrieked.

"Fugaku, this is unreasonable." Kakashi said for the first time that morning.

Fugaku ignored them and smirked. Kakashi looked sadly over to Sakura and clenched his jaws, there was nothing he can do now.

"Sakura, I would like you to meet Fuyu Bara. Sasuke's new fiancé."

(Fuyu Bara means Winter Rose)

Inner Sakura: FIANCE!

Everyone except for the Uchihas, Kakashiand Bara gasped. Bara just smiled and bowed.

"Sakura?" a voice came from the doorway. They all looked over and saw Sasuke by the door.

"Ah, Sasuke. Looks like you're just in time to meet your new fiancé, Fuyu Bara." Fugaku said pleasantly. Bara then smiled sweetly at him, giving him the most friendly, pretty face she could muster.

"...What!" Sasuke suddenly shouted out in shock and looked at Sakura who was expressionless.

"Thanks for your show and tell, but I have better things to do. So catch you all later." Sakura said coolly and left the mansion. As she went down the hall she suddenly started to run faster and faster until she was outside. She quickly got in the car and sped out of the Uchiha grounds. She wanted to scream.

Checking her car mirror she suddenly saw a cyclist coming towards her.

Inner Sakura: Damn...it's Sasuke! Just the last person I want to see right now.

Her feelings were currently all jumbled, from anger to sadness and from sadness to frustrated. For some reason she wanted to cry but her body wouldn't let her. Her eyes traveled to the mirror again and this time Sasuke was catching up.

Sakura was speeding down the road so fast now that when Sasuke rode forward at top speed and stopped in front of her, her car screeched as she expertly swerved to the side. Luckily the street was small and not well known so there weren't any civilians.

"What the hell!" She screamed as she got out.

"Sakura it's me." Sasuke answered as he took off his helmet.

"Yeah, I know its you and I almost killed you!" She shouted angrily.

"Well why didn't you stop when I was behind you?" he asked bewilderedly.

"Because I don't want to talk to you right now! I knew all this was going to happen! I can't believe I was actually stupid enough to actually go out with you!" she shouted at him and at herself angrily.

"What are you talking about?" he asked loudly. He was as confused as ever and maybe even hurt...

"Hello Sasuke, you're the richest guy in the universe while I'm only a non-important little normal girl! Your mother is nice but I knew your father would never accept me! Think about it, company plus wealth plus son equals to relationships between other companies! I was soo stupid! I actually refused the deal that your father made me! And there I was thinking that I had won when your father decided to bring out another girl that happened to be YOUR NEWEST FIANCE!" Sakura screamed.

"Sakura, I swear I didn't know! I didn't even know that he took my cell and text message you in order to make you come into the mansion! If I knew I would've done something about it, I never thought that the old man would do something like that again!" Sasuke insisted.

"I can't believe I was being humiliated in front of everybody! I already experienced attacks from your fan girls and glares from other people, now I'm going to be looked down upon and being compared to some other pretty girl for the rest of my life!"

Tears were starting to roll down her face. Looks like her bodyhad finallystarted to react...

Inner Sakura: Cursed body...cursed luck...cursed tears...cursed everything!

"Damn it Sakura! I don't care if that girl is pretty or not! You know I'm not that type and I didn't even want to have another fiancé!" Sasuke swore as he was beginning to get angry too.

"You don't want to, but your father looks like he wanted you to! God, he hates me! It looks as though he would do anything to get rid of me! What if my family got involved with this? He was going to threaten me when your mother interrupted him." Sakura argued.

"He's not that type of person." Sasuke muttered quietly.

"Oh? He even went as far as offering me three billion dollars to break up with you. It looks like he can do a LOT of things!" She noted.

"He did what!" He exclaimed.

"You heard me; he offered me three billion dollars to break up with you!" Sakura repeated as she furiously wiped her tears away, but more droplets flowed out.

"Sakura, he won't listen to me! I told him not to interfere with my life but it looks like he did and he's my dad. It's not like I can kill him or anything—"

"You know what I'm sick of this! From your fan girls to your father! This means nothing to me anymore!" Sakura shouted and ripped off the necklace that he gave her at the night of the prom.

"You are such an idiot!" Sasuke shouted back angrily.

"You're the idiot, you cold bastard!"

Sakura glared at him with puffy red eyes and threw the necklace to the ground. Then ran to her car and drove off. Sasuke got on his motorcycle too and sped off at the same time as she did. Both driving in different directions, farther and farther away from each other….

Moron! I can't believe her! I tried to be reasonable but she was out of the line...she's...she's IMPOSSIBLE! Aargh...If only I didn't bother with her when she came to our school!

Sasuke thought angrily. He carelessly parked his bike and ran to his room ignoring everyone on the way including Bara and Fugaku.

>>>

Inner Sakura: Stupid, stupid, stupid JERK! How dare he call me an idiot! I want to kick his guts! Why did I even bother going out with him! I AM SUCH AN IDIOTIC DIMWIT!

She dashed inside her room and collapsed on her bed sobbing on her pillow. If only her parents had never made her move...

>>>

Bara sat down gracefully in front of the mirror of the guests' room. She started brushing her hair while she stared at herself. Fugaku had invited her to stay in the Uchiha mansion for a while.

I wonder who that girl was...sigh...Sasuke-kun didn't look very happy today...I wonder if it is because of me...

Flashback

"Bara-dear, I have good news to tell you. Uchiha Fugaku, the prestigious billionaire had just asked you if you would like to be his youngest son's fiancé." Mr. Fuyu informed to her daughter.

"Oh my god...you mean 'the' Uchiha Sasuke!" Bara squealed. She had always had a crush on Uchiha Sasuke since she was little; this was too good to be true!

"Yes, 'the' Uchiha Sasuke. So do you accept?" the elder asked.

"Oh yes please father! I can't tell you howhappy I am! You're the best father anyone could have!" She said enthusiastically and hugged her father. Of course she knew the whole marriage was meant to be building up a relationship between Uchiha companies and the Fuyu Clothing Industry. But this was 'the' Uchiha Sasuke we're talking about, and she can't let this good opportunity pass away. She had always dreamed of being the future Mrs. Uchiha.

After a few days, she had received the news that Fugaku wanted her to come over to the Uchiha mansion in Japan to get to know Sasuke a little bit and she gladly accepted.

Arriving to the Uchiha mansion she had been informed by Fugaku that Sasuke was currently out and would be back later. And that he may act a little weird or rather cold the next few days because he had to get rid of some of his things.

End of Flashback.

I guess he had to get rid of something he really liked..well I hope I can cheer him up. Bara thought optimistically. It never occurred to her once that the things she had been told wasn't the whole truth.

Well she couldn't wait until she talked to Sasuke. Humming cheerfully to herself she brushed hair a bit more and went to sleep dreaming about the future possibilities.

>>>>>

"Yo, Sasuke-bastard!" Naruto called Sasuke's cell the next day.

"What is it dobe?" Sasuke groaned tiredly. He was awake all night glaring at the stupid ceiling.

"Whoa, you're still sleeping! It's already noon!" Naruto yelled on the other line.

"Quiet down, you breaking my ear drum!"

"Whatever, anyways do you want to go to the beach today? I haven't asked Sakura yet."

"No."

"No? Well let's do something else then."

"No."

"Ok fine...go ask Sakura what she wanted to do and phone back ok?"

"NO!"

"What's with all the shouting all of the sudden? Is something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong, now don't bother me!" Sasuke said coldly and hung up.

Shit! I accidentally said that a little bit too loud, now they'll know something is wrong...heck...why do I care? I'm not about to go apologizing to her, it's not my fault...

Sasuke thought to himself and went out to the patio that is connected to his room to get some fresh air. He couldn't go back to sleep now, after Naruto had woken him up, so he decided to go out since there was nothing to do in the mansion.

On the way out, he met up with his father who had a cheery expression plastered onto his face.

"Good morning son." He greeted.

"I hope your happy now, because we just broke up." Sasuke said coldly and left.

Fugaku suddenly smiled despite Sasuke's rude behavior and continued strolling down the hall. Sasuke was had just taken one step towards the 'better' future.

……….

Not knowing where to go, Sasuke decided to go to the place where he used to hang out before Sakura entered his life. Right know, he needed to take a break and stop stressing about Sakura.

He arrived at the basketball court and noticed that some people were already playing a game. He recognized some of them but didn't know their names. Of course they all recognized him. This place was special, because anyone who wants to play can play even if you don't know the people. Most of the people there just wanted to play basketball so they don't care who they play with.

Walking into the court somebody immediately passed him the ball and from there on the game proceeded. Sasuke naturally scored a point from the three point line and ran back to the center. People who were resting or those who just came to watch stared at him with awe.

He ignored them all and continued playing; trying to get Sakura off his mind which he found out was a hard thing to do. Scoring another point with ease he went to another court where collage students were playing a more intense game. They invited him into the game respectfully and resumed.

For there was only one rule that you have to follow to play in the courts: Respect those who want to play, no matter who they are. There's only one purpose for this court andthat is basketball.

Nobody whispered or gossiped nor did anyone run over him, which is why Sasuke liked this place so much because it all revolves around the sport.


Sakura sat against the wall in the dark bedroom hugging a pillow against her chest. Yuki snuggled against her as she felt the sad aura erupting from her master.

"My mind hates him...but my heart still loves him...what do I do Yuki?" Sakura whispered to her cat and pressed the pillow against her face as new tears came out from her eyes.

Her room was a mess, she had striped down all the pictures of her and Sasuke and store it all in a box and slid it under her bed. It was too painful to look at them.

Should I apologize to him? I guess it wasn't his fault...he couldn't do anything to prevent his dad...and I know that he didn't ask for all of this...maybe I was a little too harsh...

Inner Sakura: What are you? Nuts! Think about it...3 BILLION DOLLARS! He offered you that much! There's nothing he can't do! He can make you're family or possibly even YOU suffer! Even Mikoto can't do anything to change his mind! You're safe for now and will be safe afterwards if you start anew. For the sake of your family...Besides if you even intend on marrying Sasuke, you will know that he never will accept you...life hurts and so does the truth...

Moving on? I don't want to give up on him now...but...I guessyou're right...Fugaku CAN do anything even if Sasuke and Mikoto or possibly Kakashistand in his way...

Inner Sakura: Yes that's right, you're getting it now...

It hurts thinking about the truth...Sasuke would be better off with Bara...She';s pretty and she seems kind enough...I can never compete with her and she has something that I don't...a rich family...it hurts so much...so, so much...

"Damn it Sasuke! You make me feel like shit!" Sakura screamed and threw the doll that looked like the chibi Sasuke against the wall.

It took her a few seconds to realize what she had done and she quickly went to where the doll lay and picked it up.

"What have I done..." She said in a barely audible voice and caressed the doll in her arm. It was the one of the few things she had left that has to do with Sasuke and yet she carelessly threw it against the wall.

Ding-Dong!

She jumped a little as she heard the doorbell rang. Rubbing her eyes on her pajama sleeves she went downstairs to open the door. Her hands rested on the hand and begun to turn it when she suddenly stopped.

Part of her hoped that it was Sasuke on the other side of the door. The other part wanted it to be someone else. But it looks like the part that yearned for Sasuke to take her back is winning.

Slowly she opened the door and squinted as the light seeped through the crack. She had spent so many hours inside her dark room that it took a while for her eyes to adjust.

Inner Sakura: Sasuke?

"Good afternoon forehead girl! I found-Oh my god! Sakura what happened to you!"

"Ino?" She said with a little bit of disappointment.

"What happened to you!" Ino repeated and self invited herself inside the house.

"Nothing." Sakura replied lamely and closed the door.

"Nothing! You call this nothing! Your eyes are all red and you're still in your pajamas when it's already noon! And you call that nothing!" Ino exclaimed and went into the family room.

"It's really nothing, I was just homesick." She lied and collapsed onto the couch.

"Haha, good one! Give me a break Sakura, you are so lying! One of my talents is telling the truth from a lie, now spill!" Ino commanded. She sat down on the floor in front of her and got ready to listen.

"I told you, I wasjust homesick! Why are you here anyway?" Sakura asked, changing the subject.

"Because, I found this on the ground when Shikamaru and I were taking a walk down the street!" Ino answered and whipped out a silver necklace from her pocket.

Seeing the necklace that she had thrown the day before, Sakura broke down again and started crying uncontrollably.

"Oh no, Sakura don't cry!" Ino comforted seeing that she had mad Sakura cry and wiped Sakura's face with a tissue. Placing the pieces together she asked softly.

"Are you crying because of Sasuke?"

Sakura nodded and kept on crying...she was crying to the point where she couldn't even talk.

"Sakura, breathe...that's right in and out, in and out." The blond said soothingly. It took Sakura a couple of times to breathe slowly until her lungs and her breathing patter was completely steady.

"Y-Yesterday, I received a message to go to the Uchiha mansion. So of course I went there and found Sasuke's parents instead of him." Sakura started and pretty soon she poured out all the information that happened yesterday. She just kept on talking and talking while Ino just listened without interrupting.

When she finished telling her story, she suddenly felt better now that she had let out all her emotions.

"I can't believe Mr. Fugaku would actually find the Fuyu heiress to become Sasuke's fiancé!" Ino said in shock.

"Who are the Fuyus? That name sounds familiar." Sakura asked.

"The Fuyus own a famous winter clothing line and are extremely rich. They are probably the third richest family after the Sasuke's family and my family. The Fuyu family has only one daughter and her name is Bara. I read in a magazine somewhere that she confessed she had a crush on Sasuke during an interview. In another article she confessed that she had always tried to make a contact with Sasuke but failed. I guess she must be very happy to become Sasuke's fiancé." Ino explained.

"Oh great...now I feel even more miserable." Sakura muttered.

"Sakura, why don't you just go to Sasuke and say that you want to make up?" Ino inquired.

"I CAN'T! And plus...I don't have the guts to...my parents doesn't even know that I dated Sasuke and I don't want them to be involved with this. I'm a nuisance to everyone!" Sakura said angrily and hit her head against a pillow.

"You're not a nuisance to everyone!" Ino countered.

"Yes I am! Sasuke's father doesn'taccept me, and if I continued dating Sasuke my family might be bankrupt or something! I've seen this happening on TV and in movies!"

"You'rejust paranoid; they are just movies and TV! Those stories are just fake!"

"But there is always a possibility that it might happen, am I not right?"

"I..." Ino trailed off and tried to think of something to say.

"I'm just a useless spring cherry blossom while she's a winter rose! I can't protect myself and wither away while Bara has thorns to protect her during the winter. I'm just as useless as my name!"

"Haruno Sakura, don't you dare say those things! You are NOT useless nor are your name useless! It's pretty and if you were useless Sasuke wouldn't even have fallen in love with you! Now go and work things out with him!" Ino ordered.

"I-I can't...even if I want to, I just can't. Please believe me...or better yet understand." Sakura said half pleading. She can't explain her feelings but for now, no matter how she feels Sasuke is the last person she wants to see right now.

"I-Well ok...but promise me Sakura that you will be fine?"

"I will...now tell me what were you doing with Shikamaru?" Sakura swiftly changed the subject. She doesn't want to talk about it anymore, its much too depressing.She needed to get Sasuke off her mind for a while.

"I...um, well you see Shikamaru sort of asked me out yesterday...a-and I happened to say yes." Ino said shyly and blushed.

"Congratulations! Grr...I'm sorry that I was too busy sulking...I must've ruined your mood." Sakura apologized and smiled a little.

"Don't worry Sakura, it's not your fault...oh! Its almost five o-clocks, I'm so sorry, I have to go now Sakura! I promised Shikamaru that I would be at his house by five fifteen."

"Its ok, I'll see you sometime this week then...bye!"

"Bye Sakura! And cheer up!" Ino said quickly and left the house.

Sakura suddenly noticed the necklace that Ino had retrieved and stared at it.

I will not cry, I will not cry, I will NOT cry! Shit! Why am I crying again! I can't go on like this anymore! Why am I so weak!

Inner Sakura: Let's face it...I hate to admit this but...

But what! I know what you're or I'm going to say...I'm alone! I'm alone in this world while everyone else has somebody! Ino now has Shikamaru, Hinata has Naruto, Tenten has Neji, Katie has her foreign boyfriend, and Sasuke now has...Bara...

Inner Sakura: We can't go on like this...

Life is cruel...very, very cruel...why am I so unlucky? I bet God hates me...

Inner Sakura: Even if he hates us, we'll show him! Let's show him that we can live without Sasuke and still be happy!

Yes we'll show him whose boss...I won't be weak anymore! Sasuke or no Sasuke, I will live happily...


"You guys broke up!" Naruto exclaimed as Sasuke finished with his story.

He and Neji had managed to find to Sasuke in the basketball court. With much effort they again managed to drag Sasuke to Fiery Leaf's courtyard where no one was around since summer vacation hadn't ended yet. They had always hung out in the courtyard during the summer because of the quietness and privacy.

After forcing the truth out of Sasuke they were now as dumbfounded as ever.

"I can't believe you guys broke up..." Neji stated simply.

"Yeah! You guys were so...meant for each other!" Naruto cried.

"Are you guys trying to cheer me up? Cuz it's not working!" Sasuke said angrily.

"Well, we're just shocked that's all..." Naruto said innocently.

"Are you going to make up with her?" Neji asked.

"Why should I? It's not my fault that all this happened!"

"That's true, but you still love her right? You want her back, am I not right?"

Sasuke inwardly cursed Neji for being so smart and retorted.

"So what if I do!"

"You and your stupid ego!" Naruto exploded, "I bet Sakura-chan ismentally breaking downright now!"

"I'm not saying that I don't want to!" Sasuke shouted, "It's just that it's more complicated than that!"

"How is it complicated?" Both of his friends asked.

"That old man." He replied and they all fell silent. Sasuke was right, even if he wanted to Sasuke's father would be in the way.

"We'll help you get her back." Naruto offered.

"No, I can get her back myself. But I won't...because I can't just think of myself. Sakura is right, what if my dad decided to hurt her family in any way? I wouldn't want that, and I guess it's better if...we...separate."

There, he had finally said it...the truth... Both Naruto and Neji could literally see the word pain running across Sasuke's face.

"A-Are you ok with that?" The fox boy asked then mentally slapped himself. Even with that dense mind of his, he can tell that Sasuke was not ok with it.

"So...you're saying that you're going to accept Bara willingly?" Neji questioned.

"No...I didn;t say that but I can't dwell in the past forever. My case is a hopeless cause, and I'm pretty sure Sakura won't do anything more about itso who knows...maybe I will..."


Weeks past...not a single contact between Sasuke and Sakura...the whole gang broke apart and were as miserable as ever. Of course news spread and Sakura received calls from Katie who had come back from her trip to Mexico, Hinata, and all the rest of the people. It was hectic at first but all seemed to have calmed down afterwards.

Sakura waited by a café one day when her mind suddenly stopped as she saw Sasuke and Bara walking on the other side of the road. Sasuke seemed to have a bored expression on his face while Bara was happily window shopping.

Sasuke looked to the side and froze suddenly as he too had saw Sakura. It was the first time that he had seen her in weeks. They stared at each other for a long time, and their hearts seemed to have frozen on the spot.

Inner Sakura: Sasuke and Bara are together...together...TOGETHER!

"Sakura-chan! I got our drinks!" somebody called, interrupting Sakura's thought and the former couple's gaze.

Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw the person coming up beside Sakura...

It was Rock Lee.

And so the perfect love story has been shattered and a new twisted beginning has finally begun...

TBC

Sorry for the cliffy! But I had to end it there, this chapter was kind of sad… and I couldn't make some parts of the story the way I wanted to. Grr...so mad at myself.Sorry about that if you're confused, if so feel free and ask me all the questions…oh and if you're wondering why Kakashi was in the mansion well I'll explain everything in the next chap. As for the relationship between Fugaku and Mikoto, well Mikoto is mad at Fugaku for being a jerk but she still loves him. And Fugaku is annoyed with Mikoto for not supporting him but he still loves her too. So they won't divorce even if their mad at each other. I just wanted to clarify on that but for now, until then!
