CHAPTER 10
FORGIVE ME
Sasuke : coming! ( he opened it )
( they met eye to eye after a year and a couple of months )
..
..
..
Sakura : Suke-kun... ( a tear dropped )
( he frozed as he hears his dearest sakura's voice again. how he missed her. and how he longed for her for a long time )
Sakura : Suke...
( he felt weak and so much pain rushed in his heart )
( he walks away from the door and went straight back to his room )
Sakura finally emitted her tears as she fell down on the ground.
Ayame and Itachi saw what had happen.
Ayame : oh my. ( she was saddened by the scene )
Itachi : sasuke..
( Ayame went to comfort sakura )
Ayame : It's alright dear. He didn't know. I guess he's not that ready yet..
Sakura : ( sniff ) I can't do this. It's useless...
Mikoto : oh dear. why is she crying? please go inside.
( they entered the uchiha household )
( she cries )
Everyone seems to be quiet..
Mikoto : This is all my fault. I should have told sasuke about it.
Sakura : It's all right Mrs. Uchiha.. It's my fault from the beggining.
Mikoto : We all make mistakes dear. But it seems like I made it even worse.
Itachi : ( sigh ) I'll talk to Sasuke. ( he ran upstairs )
( knocks )
Sasuke : leave me alone!
Itachi : Sasuke open this now.
Sasuke : give me some time! I got hurt too you know!
Itachi : Stop it sasuke. face your fears... I'll call you when it's dinner..
Sasuke : ...
( itachi left )
Sasuke : i don't get this at all... she's here... why is she here?.. i want to hug her right now... but i can't.. why can't i?... why do i feel like i just woke up from a coma?... i... just... want... to give up...
( he lied down and started thinking deep thoughts )
Sasuke : am I really selfish...
Fugaku : I'm home.
Mikoto : finally your home dear. ( she led him to the living room )
Mikoto : This is our guest dear. her name is Haruno Sakura.
Sakura : Nice to meet you Mr. Uchiha. ( she bowed )
Fugaku : Nice to meet you too Sakura. Please feel free to feel at home.
Sakura : Thank you. You are so kind ( she smiled )
Fugaku : My..my.. What a bright smile.
Mikoto : Dinner is ready. Shall we eat then?
Fugaku : Yes dear.
Mikoto : Itahi honey. Could you call Sasuke?
Itachi : sure mom.
( he ran upstairs again )
( knocks and opens the door )
Itachi : sasuke. dinner's ready.
Sasuke : ...
( he checks on him )
Itachi : oh.. he's asleep..
( he left his room )
Sasuke : he fell for it... ( he opened his eyes ) i don't want to see her yet...
Itachi : he's asleep. ( he announced )
Mikoto : oh...
Sakura : Is he alright?
Itachi : he is.
Fugaku : Let's eat then.
( they started eating )
Fugaku : so sakura, tell me more about yourself.
Sakura : well Mr. Uchiha, I'm actually sasuke's childhood friend.
Itachi : ehem ehem... Sasuke's girlfriend... ( he cleared )
Fugaku : Really now? ( he eyed her )
Sakura : eh.. no sir.. I'm not his.. erm... girlfriend.
Itachi : ehem ehem... DENIAL...
( Mikoto and Ayame giggled )
Fugaku : It's alright if that's true dear. More grand children the better right? ( he laughs )
Sakura -( coughs ) grand children? ( she thinks )
Mikoto : oh dear you are such a kidder.
Fugaku : Well. It's really nice to have spend you're summer here. I'm sure sasuke misses you.
( she frowns )
Sakura : yes.. ( she whispered so... silently.. )
Fugaku : did sasuke knew you were coming dear? I mean, he must have not slept if he did.
( all seem to have frowned again )
Mikoto : I'll explain later dear.
( he wondered )
Fugaku : explain? ok.
Itachi : Where's Sakura going to sleep mom? our guest rooms are still getting fix right?
Mikoto : In sasuke's room of course.
Itachi : This keeps on getting better and better ( he thought and smiled )
Mikoto : They used to have sleepovers then didn't you know? So it's okay if they sleep in the same room.
Fugaku : Problem solved then.
Sakura : I'm not quite sure but... I guess it's ok..
( Silence occupied the dinner table until Itachi spoke )
Itachi : Sasuke told me he would like to marry you some day. ( he teased )
( a SUPER BLUSH came from sakura )
( ALL EYES ON HER )
Ayame : Sweetheart, stop teasing poor Sakura. She's a guest.
Fugaku : ( he laughs ) I would like it if they get married!
Mikoto : ( laughs too ) They are too young honey.
Sakura ( still beet red )
( finally dinner's finished )
Mikoto : Sakura dear, you can get ready for bed. I'm sure you are tired. There is a bathroom near Sasuke's room if you need to use one. Sasuke's room is at the second floor to the left.
Sakura : yes Mrs. Uchiha. ( this house is big ) ( she thought )
( she opens the door )
Sakura : I can't believe I could see suke again.. ( she thought as she peeked in his room )
( she closed the door and went to the bathroom )
( Sasuke really fell asleep when Itachi left his room )
11 45 PM
She took a quick bath and went back to Sasuke's room after.
( door opens )
Sakura : ...suke, ( she whispers )
( she sits beside his sleeping form and started caressing his handsome face )
Sakura : I'm here... ... I'm back... .. I came back for you...
( she softly said as she hlds his hand )
tear dropped ( fell from sakura's eye )
Sakura : goodnight... sasuke..
( she lets go of his hand and fixed her futon in the carpet )
( she quickly fell asleep due to her long flight )
3 22 AM
( he rubbed his eyes and woke from his sleep as he sat up )
Sasuke : why is she.? ( he thought when he saw her sleeping in the bedroom floor inside a futon )
Sasuke : does she want to get sick.?
( He quickly got out of bed and carried her to the big bed )
Sasuke : still a heavy sleeper ( he thought )
( He gazed at her with eyes so full of sadness.. he feels so tight inside his heart and he is really hesitating on whether to bring her back to his life .. not that he is being selfish in thinking about his own feelings but because.. he's afraid of losing her.. his bestfriend.. the one he loves.. and his one and only )
Sasuke : sakura... ( finally he spoke her name after a looooooong time! )
( he went down and drank a glass of water, it was late so he went back to his room after and lay down beside sakura )
( he faced her )
Sasuke : you still look like an angel when you're asleep. ( he whispered ever so quietly )
( sigh )
( he went back to sleep soon after he took one more look at her. he then went to his side of the bed and he turned his back on her )
7 52
( yawn )
( she sits up, half asleep, thinking why she was so comfortable when she woke )
( gasp )
Sakura : I'm in his bed! but who? was it sasuke?
( she turned to the other half side of the bed to see... no one )
Sakura : he's really avoiding me..
Itachi : Rise and shine pink princess. breakfast is ready.
Sakura : right. I'll be down in a minute.
( she stood up and went straight to the bathroom to fix herself up )
Itachi : she'll be down in a while. ( he announced )
Fugaku : She must've been tired from her flight.
Sasuke : ...
( they all waited for her to come down )
Sakura : I'm so sorry to keep you all waiting ( she quickly ran down stairs )
Mikoto : it's alright. take a sit sakura.
( she sat down at the ONLY vacant sit.. guess who's beside her... YUUUUP! It's sasuke
( sasuke seems to show no emotion to this at all )
( the others started eating while sakura put rice in sasuke's plate and then hers. he didn't mind but he didn't say a word either )
Ayame : how are you sakura?
Sakura : I'm okay.. ayame-chan..
Fugaku : that's good sakura. there are alot of beautiful places you could visit here.
Mikoto : yes sakura.. and sasuke dear, ( he caught his attention ) why don't you take her somewhere?
Sasuke : Sorry. I have band practice.. ( finally! he spoke and she heard him! )
Mikoto : ( frowned )
Fugaku : ( cleared his throat ) well then dear, maybe you should let sakura stay in the house today?
Mikoto : ah. yes.. is that alright sakura?
Sakura : it is.. ( she answered with in an unsure tone )
( they all ate quietly, especially sasuke, he didn't even gave hints like taking a quick glance to sakura, with her sitting beside him and all )
( Itachi thought everything was fine when he saw sakura serving rice in sasuke's plate.. but to his surprise.. it wasn't at all.. fine )
Itachi : Why don't we go to the movies ayame?
Ayame : That would be wonderful! sakura, you want to come?
Sakura : You two go ahead. I'll just stay with Mrs. Uchiha.
Mikoto : thank you for accompanying me dear.
( she faked a smile and sasuke knew it )
( a couple of minutes had passed and then breakfast was over )
everyone went to their room after, also sasuke and sakura, who shares a room.
( door closes )
( she sat down on sasuke's bed as she watch him get his clothes. but he still kept silent, considering the fact that it's only the two of them inside the room )
Sakura : suke..
Sasuke : ...
Sakura : how are you?...
( he replies by shutting the door in his bathroom )
( she pouts and makes a chibi face )
Sakura : that's not a very nice way to answer back...
( she sighs )
Sakura : guess I just have to try a bit later..
( water pours into his face )
Sasuke : I still don't know what to do... I can't mess this up...but am I doing the right thing not talking to her? Am I being cruel?... ( he thought )
Sasuke : I remembered... that poem.. I read and recited in the class 2 months ago..
FLASHBACK
Teacher : Sasuke, please read the poem you have chosen in front of the class.
( he stood up and went in front )
Fan Girls : look it's sasuke's turn!! SASUKE!!
( he got irritated.. so did the teacher )
Teacher : Would you girls please be quiet! ( she warned them )
( she signaled sasuke and he began )
( everyone seemed to be surprise when he started reading, they wondered until the end )
Teacher : tell us, sasuke, why did you choose this poem?
( they all waited for his answer )
Sasuke : I felt like I could relate with the poem. So I chose it.
Teacher : thank you sasuke, take a seat.
( eyes were glued on him, he was always the cold silent type in their school, it was the first time they heard him open up like that, but he didn't care )
( he acted extra quiet after he recited it though, it's as if it made him think a whole lot )
END OF FLASHBACK
Sasuke : that poem...
So much heartache
So much pain
So much confusion
Thought I was getting a chance
Thought I had the one
Believed it when I looked into your eyes
Now the future is so questionable
Both with separated dreams
That neither one of us want to give up on
Either way one of us will get hurt
But no one knows what the future holds
Maybe one day
Maybe some how
We can make our dreams the same
And if not then it wasn't meant to be
But I'm not ready to give up
And neither are you
Life is about taking risks
And to me
Baby, you're a risk worth taking
( he recited it in his mind )
Sasuke : you're... a risk... worth taking... sakura.. ( he whispered )
( he turns of the shower, dried himself up and got dressed )
( he opens the door to see a sleeping sakura in his bed )
Sasuke : she's slept again... ( sighs ) she never changed... ( he looks at her )
( she woke up a bit then and she caught him looking... there eyes met for the second time )
Sakura : suke...
