OK, I got lots of reviews! Before I go on with the story I would like to thank: cherryblossom429, shewhoisalone, BananaPlant, and SasuSaku Forever and Ever for reviewing! So...on with the story!
Dear Sakura,
So you would like to hear about my mystery girl huh? OK well, she is the most beautiful thing alive, alot of people want her, or so I assume. She is very intelligent, and strong. Best kunoichi, if you ask me. She lives in Konoha, and she makes me very happy. I know her very well. This mystery girl is very funny too. Her smile could make a blind man see, to make the winter hot, make your last day of living like heaven. Sakura, she is an angel. A fallen one. But, I fear...I broke this beautiful girl- woman's heart. And I want her to know I never meant it. Sakura, I love this girl...dearly. Wow, this girl, she sounds...perfect. What a lucky girl. I want this girl to be happy, but I fear that if I am with her, I will take away her happiness. I think she thinks I'm a jerk. No surprise there. This mystery girl makes my heart melt. But I have broken hers faster than mine can melt. This girl is so elegant and never could she be mean to a single soul. Her heart is golden. Pure gold, but now thanks to me...it's also broken. Sakura, I love this girl so much.
Sincerely,
Sasuke
P.S.
Sakura, I love you.
This mystery girl, it's..me? Wasn't such a mystery then I guess. I try to cheer myself up, but nothing can describe how I feel. I'm a mix of emotions. Happy, sad, exhausted, stunned, horrified. This is to much. I am so happy he loves me, but yet...so sad. This is nothing like the Sasuke I know. Or at least knew. I want him so bad, but I know that's exactly what he wants me to do. Wanting him to be wanting me was how it used to be. But now that its the other way around...I have no idea what to say. I start crying then and there. What do I do? I want to believe him so bad, but I can't bring myself to it.
'Gosh Sakura, get over yourself'. I think to myself. Pretty soon I'll become the Sakura I once was. Before he left. I can't even say his name, but there's no escaping the tears now. They have already welcomed themselves to my face, and they seem to be staying for a long visit. "Why doesn't he love me?" I always asked myself when I was younger. Now all I can ask is: "Why won't he stop loving me?'
I can't reply at once. I need some time so I call Naruto and Gaara and invite them over. They both didn't take there time getting here. I answer the door, putting the fake smile on my face. Naruto smiles back while Gaara looks suspicious. The last thing I need is an interrogation. I motion them to sit on the couch in the living room. I go to the kitchen fetching some tea, while also wiping my face to look like I had never been crying. I came back with three cups, I place them on the coffee table and took a seat in between the two. "So..." I start. "So..." Naruto mimicked. "So.." Gaara ends. We sit in an awkward silence until Naruto breaks it. "Why did you cry the other night?" I sigh and look at him smiling. I struggle for an excuse, I know if I said nothing was wrong, or I had something in my eye, then Gaara wouldn't buy it. Heck, even Naruto wouldn't!
"I...needed some air." I assure Naruto. He just shrugs it off while Gaara looks at me with the 'Yeah right' glare. Lets face it, Gaara may not have emotions, but he can tell when someone else is hiding them. "Haruno-san." He says with that rasp, somewhat deep voice. "Please, call me Sakura." "Well then Sakura. Isn't it ashamed that the last of the Uchiha clan is going to waste?" 'He's trying to make me crack, he knows its about Sasuke' "Yeah." I reply simply. Not knowing what to say. "How long has he been gone?" "S-Six years." 'Don't cry!' Naruto, not having any idea whatsoever of whats going on looks dumbfounded. Before Gaara can ask me something else Naruto's cell rings. 'Save by the bell' I think.
"Sorry guys, I gotta go see Hinata. Bye Sakura-chan, Gaara." 'Doomed by the bell.' "Back to our conversation Sakura-san. How is it not having the Uchiha here?" "I-I'm doing f-fine...really." He nods pretending he understands. But truly...he doesn't. "I don't see why you love him." "Loved him!" I snap back. "Loved him. Sorry. Still, I still don't see why. You know by loving him, it gave him exactly what he wanted." "Yes! Okay?! I was dumb, stupid, there was no reason to love him! I get it you can go now." He thinks I am offering him to leave, but I am actually telling him nicely. I hold my head in my hands and sob. He tries to comfort me. Tries and fails that is. I point to the door signaling him to get out.
He gets my signal and leaves. As soon as he does I get up and write my reply. I know what your thinking, all Gaara did was try to help. Trust me, he did. Alot. Just now, he made me realize that he isn't my best choice. He doesn't love me, and there is no reason for me to love him. That is why I kicked him out, I wanted to write my reply to Sasuke.
Dear Sasuke,
I'm flattered, really. But...I've moved on, I don't feel the same way. I'm glad that I am your first love, and Sasuke you were once mine. Not anymore. I realize now, how much I was just being childish. Sasuke, no matter what, we will be friends. I promise! Through better and worse times. I will always be your friend. But nothing more. I'm glad you realize that you broke my heart, no doubt that you did that, but my heart has been fixed and I'm moving on. I can't afford for it to be broken again, by you that is. I don't wanna take the risk. Believe me, I want to believe you so bad, but just can't. I'm so sorry, but you had your chance, I offered you my world. It seemed that my world wasn't enough. But Sasuke, my world, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Venus, and every other planet wouldn't be enough for you. I'm sorry that my offer just wasn't what you were looking for.
Sincerely,
Sakura
P.S., I loved you.
