Author notes: Thanks for reading this fic. I'm glad you are enjoying it so far.
At the Hospital
Sakura slid open the door to Sasuke's room. He still wasn't awake and Sakura was growing worried. She hoped that he would wake up soon.
She sat down on the chair next to the bed and observed him. Even in his sleep he didn't look peaceful. He always seemed to have things on his mind. Whatever his dream was about, it didn't seem to be peaceful.
Sakura stood up and walked to the window. She drew open the curtains, Naruto obviously hadn't bothered to open them this morning before he left. It was a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining and everything looked green .Outside some birds were singing. Sakura paused by the window, she wished everyday could be like this. It showed how truly beautiful Kohona was.
Sakura sighed and turned back to look at Sasuke...
"Why did you leave me?"
"Because he didn't love you" inner Sakura replied.
"I missed you so much. Did you ever think about me?"
"You know he didn't"
"Did you miss me at all?"
"If he missed you don't you think he would have come back."
"Things have changed so much Sasuke. Everyone we used to know when we were team 7 are a lot stronger now. Also, everyone but you and Naruto are Chunnin now. It's funny. You and Naruto are the strongest people I know and yet technically I'm better than you. I'm a medic-nin now. I got Tsunade to train me. I'm not as useless as I was back when we were team 7. I've changed. You ,in your strange way, made me stronger. I couldn't let you and Naruto protect me anymore . You had gone, and then Naruto left to train. I had to do something. I didn't want to be as useless as I used to be. I worked really hard whilst you were away Sasuke. I wanted to show you that I wasn't useless. I needed to show you that I could be a good ninja.I wanted to show you how hard I trained for you. I wish you hadn't left me Sasuke. We could have got stronger together but you left. You didn't want to share power."Sakura felt tears well up in her eyes. All the emotions she has kept inside for 3 years were finally surfacing. The pain, sadness and rage bubbled up to the surface as Sakura carried on speaking
"You were a selfish bastard Sasuke! You left me here. I would have done anything for you Sasuke. You left me on a bench. I would have betrayed Kohona and dishonoured my parents for you. You threw it all back into my face. It's not fair! I wasn't an evil person. Did you really think I deserved to suffer like that, just so you could get revenge?" Sakura's voice became louder as tears spilled out of her eyes.
"I don't know why I ever loved you. You were never kind to me. You were rude and too self-absorbed to know anyone else was hurting. You had been through so much, and I wanted to help you, but all you wanted to do was push people away. You say you hate Itachi for killing your family. I would hate him to, if he did that to me But you are just as bad as him! You hurt people, without noticing or caring. You killed my heart that day you left! You are the only person who can fix it. I don't think you will though. As soon as you can, you'll leave again. Naruto was right. I'm not over you . I don't know why. Sasuke, I love you. I hate you, but I love you so much it hurts!"
Tears fell freely as Sakura sat on the ground and sobbed. She had poured out her entire soul and she couldn't stop crying. She didn't know how long she sat there sobbing but when she finally stopped, she heard a voice call out to her.
"Sakura?" a horse voice called out from the bed
Sakura opened her blood shot eyes and stood up, walking over to the bed.
"S-sasuke? you're awake! I must go and tell Tsuande."
"No wait a second Sakura."
"I'll be two seconds!" And with that, Sakura slipped out of the room.
Oh my god! Sakura thought to herself. Sasuke is finally awake.Sakura ran down the corridor as she went to find Tsunade.
"Sakura… I love you too. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was wrong. I'm sorry." Sasuke whispered, the door closed. But Sakura didn't hear him...
