Chapter 57 – Sakura's Chapter (Part 9)

I was walking on air. My beloved Sasuke-kun was coming to see me. I had waited so long to see him. I missed him so much. I could not wait to kiss his sweet lips and feel his arms around me again. We were going to go meet in the park and then get dinner. I could not wait!

All day I could not shut up about my approaching date. My little patients did not seem to mind. All the kids were very excited for my date. All of them wanted to see a picture of him. I showed them gladly.

"Is he a prince?" Miina asked me making me giggled.

"He is my prince," I responded.

"I want him!" Miina grabbed the photo.

"No, I want him!" Sora tried to take it. I snatched the picture away from the both of them.

"Sorry, girls but he is mine," I put his picture away. They pouted.

"Sakura," I was called.

"Dr. Uchiha," I formally addressed Shisui-kun in front of the children.

"May I talk with you?" He asked. I nodded and left the children.

"What is it, Shisui-kun?"

"I need you to take on an extra shift today. Otoha called in sick."

"But Sasuke-kun is coming tonight."

"I'm sorry but I need you here. Just tell Sasuke you'll be a little late," He suggested. On my break I contacted Sasuke and let him know I was going to be late because of my extra shift. He was very understanding.

I spent the day looking after the kids. It was all fun but I really wanted to see Sasuke. I had not seen him in so long. The day began to drag on. Miina started to vomit everywhere so I had to clean her up. But then she threw up on Sora so I had to clean her up as well. But seeing Miina get sick made the other kids vomit. I had to clean them up then one got sick on me. Luckily it was at the end so I could go shower and change out of the gross uniform. I put the kids all to bed and went to check out.

I was walking out of the pediatrics area when I saw Shisui-kun. He called after me making me stop. I hoped her would not delay me anymore.

"I'm leaving, Shisui-kun," I told him.

"I need to talk to you," He said.

"What about, Shisui-kun?" I really wanted to leave.

"Sakura, I need to be honest with you."

"Honest about what?" What did he need to be honest about? Why did he have to keep delaying me?

"About my feelings, Sakura," He took my hand. What was he doing? He pulled me close and kissed me! I was too stunned. Shisui-kun was kissing me. Why was he kissing me? I was Sasuke-kun's girl. I pushed him off.

"Why did you do that?" I wiped him off my lips.

"I love you, Sakura," He said.

"What?" What was this nonsense?

"I love you. I don't want you to go to Sasuke tonight. I don't think you two should be together. He's never around and can't treat you like you need to be. Break it off with him and be with me," He was pleading.

"No. I love Sasuke-kun. Asking me to break up with him is like asking me not to breathe," I stated.

"But, Sakura-"

"Shisui-kun, I'm just going to say that you're exhausted from work and a bit delusional that's why you're saying all of this. I need to go."

"But I'm not being de-"

I ran out before he could finish. I couldn't believe Shisui-kun. He was being ridiculous. He could not love me and I did not love him. I only loved Sasuke-kun and that was that. I rushed to the park where Sasuke-kun was to wait for me. I saw him at our bench.

"Sasuke-kun!" I called his name as I ran towards him. He stood up. I went to hug and kiss him but he put an arm out to stop me.

"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" I raised an eyebrow.

"We need to talk," He looked angry.

"What about?"

"Us."

"Okay…what about us?"

"We should break-up."

Break

Up

Break

Up

The words echoed in my ears. He didn't mean it…did he?

"You're joking right?" I tried to force a laugh.

"No. We should break-up."

"Why?" I felt like crying.

"It'll be best for both of us."

"How would us breaking up be the best for both of us?"

"I could focus more on baseball and you on nursing."

"Isn't love more important than those things?"

"No. Baseball comes first."

His words were so cold.

"But, I love you, Sasuke-kun. I love you more than life itself," I reached out for him. He moved away from me.

"I don't love you."

Did he just say that he didn't love me? I began to cry.

"Don't lie to me, Sasuke-kun."

"I'm not. I don't love you anymore."

Why was he breaking my heart?

"Sasuke-kun," I couldn't speak without sobbing.

"I think it would best we just end things here," He turned from me. I hugged him from behind.

"Sasuke-kun, don't do this. I love you so much. I love you more than anything. I would do anything for you. Please, don't do this. To lose you would be like losing my soul."

"Let go of me, Sakura. It's over between us," He broke free of my arms.

"But-" I started.

"God! You're so damn annoying. It's over," He ripped off his necklace and threw it at me. I watched as he walked away from me. I watched him walk away through my tear-filled eyes. I bent down and picked up his necklace. I held it to my chest and cried. It was over. Sasuke-kun and I were over.
