Chapter 4: What Hurts the Most
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke came home feeling full, a little too full that he felt like throwing up. Sasuke went over to his bed and sat down and took a deep breath. "I can do it." He looked over the clock, it was 10:00 p.m. "She's still awake." He grabbed his phone and started dialing. A few moments, he heard her voice.

"Hello, Haruno Residence."
No answer.
"Hello?" she said again.
Nothing still but she stayed on the line.
Sasuke was frozen, all he can do was breathe.
Sakura could hear his heavy breathing.
"Who is this?" she asked.
"Damn it Sasuke, say something!"
He moved his mouth but no words came out, Sakura started to think.
"S…Sasuke?"
Sasuke panicked and hung up.

He put his face to his pillow. "DAMN IT! DAMN IT!" he screamed as he punched his mattress. After a few more cusses and insults to himself, he fell asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke woke up but he didn't want to get out of bed. He felt like shit after that night, he said that he was going to tell her how he felt but now he was truly a coward. He looked over at the clock, it was already 12:15 p.m. "Wonderful." He sat up and rubbed his eyes then walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

After his shower, he went out the door to go for a walk, he needed to clear his mind. He walked around his little town for awhile, he looked around and saw how happy all of the people were. Sasuke knew that he was the only person in the town who felt like crap. After a few moments of walking, he saw a pink-haired girl buying fruits. "Thanks you Sir." she said as he handed her an apple. Sakura accidentally dropped it and it rolled over to a frozen Sasuke. "Oops." she turned around and froze. Sasuke picked up the apple and walked over to Sakura and handed it over to her. "T-Thank you." she said. Sasuke didn't say anything. "Um, later Sasuke." she said as she turned to walk away. Sasuke finally opened his mouth. "S-Sakura…" She turned around and smiled. "…Wow." he thought once he saw her smile. "Do you want to walk me home Sasuke?" she asked. Sasuke nodded and went beside her.

A few minutes passed, they walked in silence and it was agonizing to the both of them. "This is your chance Sasuke!" he reminded himself. "Sakura." he said breaking the silence. She turned over her head and looked at him. "I…I…I…" "Crap!" "I…I…Do you want me to hold your bags?" "Nice." Sakura smiled. "It's ok Sasuke." Sasuke grabbed them anyway from her hand. "I insist." he said as his skin came into contact with hers, it sent a chill down his spine. They kept walking in silence until Sakura finally said something. "Did you call me last night?" Sasuke froze. "Just tell her you dumbass!" He looked over to her. "Yeah." "Oh, so what's up then? Is there something that you want to tell me?" she asked. "Um, I wanted to tell that I…I lov…" they both stopped walking. "I…lov…I love ramen now! I thought that you might want to know that." Sakura looked at him with confusion. "Ok…that's nice, good for you." "Bravo." "Wait Sakura! I mea-" "We're here." she interrupted, they were already at the Haruno door. "Thanks for walking me home Sasuke." Sasuke sighed. "Anytime." He gave her the bags and she opened the door. She looked over at him and smiled as she closed her door. "I just wanted to tell you that I love you Sakura." he said to the door as he clenched his fists.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It was already dark and Sasuke was still walking around the town. He went over to a big tree in town and jumped all the way to the nearest branch. "The perfect opportunity and I blew it." he thought to himself. He took out one of his kunais and looked at its sharp point. It took him a few moments to think then he took a deep breath. "At least I'll feel a different kind of pain." he thought. He then brought the kunai up and stabbed his side. "AAAHHHH!" he scremed in pain. He took the kunai out and blood started to pour. Sasuke started to feel light-headed, his eyes started to close. "Sakura..." he whispered. Finally, after a few seconds, he dozed to sleep.
