They say that love is forever

Your forever Is all that I need

Please stay as long as you need

Cant promise that things wont be broken

But I swear that I will never leave

Please stay forever with me

I stopped singing and felt myself slowly settle into a peaceful nap in the front seat of the car as the rest of the song was playing in the background. "Sasuke would like this song….." I muttered before drifting off completely.

Sasuke's POV:

I was in such a good mood after school. It might have been because I was falling for Sakura after only knowing her for a day or it was what I heard after I gave her my number. "Sota! Save his number to speed-dial number 2!" I couldn't help but smiling like an idiot as I walked to my car. As soon as I got in front of the wheel I started laughing like a maniac and throwing my fist in the air. I stopped when I noticed a girl in my Bio class staring at me liked I turned into a giant, man eating, red-eyed bunny or something. There goes my reputation as an emotionless bastard I thought as I gave her a glare that made her run off, back from the direction she had originally came. I pulled out of the school parking lot and drove to my house.

I couldn't drive in silence so, I dug around the center console of my car looking for a black cord. When I found it I attached one end of it to the auxiliary slot in the car and the other end to my phone. I pulled up Pandora Radio on my phone and went to work looking for a good station. I picked my usual station, Today's Alternative Radio. It had a good mix of artists. I couldn't help but start singing along with the song that came up first. It was 'Fitz & the Tantrums' Out of My League. I hoped it wasn't a weird sign that Sakura wasn't gonna happen. Hell, that girls out of every body's league. I sang at the top of my lungs.

Forty days and forty nightsI waited for a girl like you to come and save my lifeRecall the days I waited for youYou know the ones who said, "I'd never find someone like you."

You were out of my leagueAll the things I believeYou were just the right kindYeah, you are more than just a dreamYou were out of my leagueGot my heartbeat racingIf I die don't wake me'Cause you are more than just a dreamFrom time to time I pinch myselfBecause I think my girl mistakes me for somebody elseAnd every time she takes my handAll the wonders that remain become a simple fact

The song finished as I pulled in front of my house. I noticed that my brother's car was in the driveway. I got out of my car and went into my house. "Itachi?" I called out into the two story, suburban house. I heard a shout from upstairs coming from Itachi's old room. If he has a girl in there I'm calling social service. I opened the door to find Itachi laying on his bed looking at his laptop. I let out the breath that I had been holding; good, no girls.

"What's up Sasuke?" I shook my head to show it was nothing. "Come on Sasuke, talk to me. I've been away at college for almost a year and you just shrug me off? I'm your guardian, but I'm also your brother. Besides, something's up, it's written all over your face little brother." I felt heat rise up my face at Itachi's declaration. I knew he say it because a small grin came on his face. I guess college changed Itachi because he seemed more caring than before. Last I heard he was in a committed relationship with a girl named Emi or something like that.

"Ah, so it's a girl." He assumed. He assumed right. "Do you want to talk about her. I promise it will never leave this room." I looked him in the eyes and saw that he meant it. He had such a sincere eyes. Jeez, I think that girl has him thoroughly whipped. I sighed. I didn't realize it until now but I needed to get my thoughts and feelings off my chest and it's not like Itachi's ever gonna meet the girl. I sighed again and sat Indian-style on his bed.

"Her name's Sakura Haruno." I saw a surprised look on Itachi's face. He probably thought I wasn't going to tell him. "She's a pink-haired smart ass that loves to get under my skin. And her stubbornness! 8 hours, at the most, I've spent with her and I could tell how stubborn she was" He frowned and was about to say something but I held up my hand to stop him.

"But I don't know what it is about her pink hair and her eyes that have so much pain in them. She's so strong and independent but there is so much she can't do by herself. I've only known her for one day but I want to protect her, I want her to trust me. But, I don't know if I can help her, she's so nervous around people, of being judge. It kills me that she was bullied. It's not her fault that she's different." I put my face in my hands.

"She almost got hurt today, twice. Once she was at the wrong place at the wrong time and second was because of those stupid, conceited, jealous girls that decided any girl I am friends with have to go through a living hell." I shook my head at the memory. It made me angry just thinking about it. "I only just made it in time to protect her."

"Sasuke, don't blame yourself. If your worried about her, get stronger. And didn't you say she was strong? Have some faith, Sasuke." I look him in the eyes, "But she can't do it alone and I promised I would help her in school. I was there when her 'guardian' as he put it, came and managed to stop the girl from hitting Sakura. I promised him I would help her."

"But why? Why do you need to help her? I don't understand Sasuke, and all I want to do is help you." I looked down, not able to take the tense air in the room. I didn't know what to say. I have to tell him, it might make me feel better. I looked out the window that was across the room before taking a deep breath to calm the strange inner rage I was feeling boiling in my blood. I turned back to Itachi, looking at him dead in the eyes.

"Itachi, Sakura's blind."

Ok guys what do you think so far? What about the song? It's a really good song if you haven't heard it. Check it out! Out of My League by Fitz and The Tantrums!

Ok guys, did you like the ending….. No? Not a fan of cliff hangers? Good cause I love you guys enough to keep going today…..Read on! *hehe*

I saw the shock on Itachi's face when I told him the truth about Sakura.

"How" was all he could say. I thought for a second before replying, "Accident when she was younger, she's supposed to tell me the rest of the story later. Apparently her father died in the war and her mother died in the accident that took her sight. She jumped around from foster families before she was adopted by her friend Sota." He nodded. I felt better now that I told someone. I said things out loud that I hadn't even realized before. But, it was all true, every word I said. "What were you going to say earlier Itachi, before I stopped you?"

"I was going to say how can you love her if it sounds like you hate the way she is. You don't like a lot of things and your irritated easily…" he trailed off. I smirked. He was right, sometimes I did hate it, and I said just that.

"You're right, I do hate it sometimes, but I love it too. She's not scared of me and says what she wants to say. I guess It's her fire that I'm drawn to. She's… I don't even know what she is." I said with a smile playing at my lips. "The only thing is, I think her attitude is just a mask that covers her from showing others what she's really like. Her mask is the tough attitude, the way she dresses, her fiery personality, all of it…..it makes her so much different from all the other girls."

I knew I was going on and on but I couldn't stop myself. I wasn't really thinking before I spoke. I dropped all the filters between my brain and my mouth. All rationality stopped and it was like the world disappeared; all I could see was her. Finally, I came to a conclusion.

"But I want to see what's under that mask. I want to find the girl that was so shy when she met my friends, she had to grab my hand and hide behind my back. I want the girl that was nervous when she said I was her first friend her age. She told me something and I just wanted to hold her. She cried silently when she told me and I saw her mask drop for a little while when she said…..

'I think I want you to know. I think I want to know that it's ok to tell people. I think I want to know that people aren't all judgmental and cruel. I Know I want to stop being afraid…."

I hadn't said anything for a while after I realized just how worked up I was. I felt a strong, comforting hand on my shoulder. "Don't you think you should be telling her all this?" I chuckled as he continued. "If you really like her, give her time to get to know you. She can't see the Uchiha good looks so give her a reason to like you too." I laughed when he said that thinking back to earlier today. I told Itachi what had crossed my mind. "Earlier, she was messing around and said for all she knows, I could be ugly. I may have muttered a few things and she might have heard…she has good hearing." I said as an after thought. "She laughed at me for a while after that." I said with a smile on my face.

"What did you say?" Itachi asked quizzically. I just burst out in an extreme fit of laughter that led to some hiccups.

"It may -hiccup- have - hiccup- been along the lines of me being -hiccup- a sexy beast -hiccup-….." I said with tears rolling down my face as the laughter continued. Soon my brother joined my apparently contagious laughs.

"So what are you going to do?" Itachi asked after we managed to compose ourselves. I wasn't sure, I hadn't thought this far ahead. I was nervous for obvious reasons. What if she found out about the things I said today, what if my feelings were unrequited, what if she hates me after all this?

"I'm going to do the only thing I can do, I'm going to be there for her. I'm going to be her eyes." I said with a straight face. I was going to do everything possible to see the light in her eyes like I did earlier.

I slowly got up and started to walk towards the door before I turned around and said something I never dreamed I would say in my lifetime, "Thanks Itachi. I really needed this." I heard a short "Hm" before I walked to my room.

I pulled out my acoustic that was leaning against the wall of my room between my electric and bass guitar. I was itching to write a new song. I loved throwing chords together and finding a nice tune has emerged. On days like today, I would add in lyrics. I thought for a second. Something rock but soft, definitely acoustic …..

I played around with some chords before I had a song playing in my head. About a half hour later, my song was born. I pulled out everything I needed for my at-home recording studio. My amp, mic, and laptop were set-up when I started to play.

When I see your smileTears roll down my face I can't replaceAnd now that I'm strong I have figured outHow this world turns cold and it breaks through my soulAnd I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)I'll stand up with you foreverI'll be there for you through it all (through it all)Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's are changingAnd waves are crashingAnd stars are falling all for usDays grow longer and nights grow shorterI can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)I'll stand up with you foreverI'll be there for you through it all (through it all)Even if saving you sends me to heaven

'Cause you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart

Please don't throw that away

'Cause I'm hear for you

Please don't walk away and

Please tell my you'll stay woah, stay woah

Use me as you willPull my strings just for a thrill

And I know I'll be okayThough my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fallI'll stand up with you foreverI'll be there for you through it allEven if saving you sends me to heaven

I smiled when I finished. It was one of my beast so far. Guardian Angel was what I decided to call it. I worked on it for another half hour. By the time I perfected it, it had a second acoustic guitar and a drum fill. I really liked it. Maybe one day I'll show it to Sakura.

After I finished eating dinner with Itachi, I went back to my room and picked up the bass guitar. I played random chords, letting a beautiful melody evolve. Suddenly, my phone went off. I looked at my phone, I didn't know the number but I picked up anyway.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Hi is this Yuki?" said a familiar phone voice on the other end, but I couldn't put my finger on who it was.

"Umm…n…." I was cut off.

"Anyway, tell her she's never invited here again. I know she was screwing around with Ren at my party last night. Hell, I found her purse and the other half of her clothes on my bed!" She said

"Ummm, sorry you have the wrong number." I explained.

"No I don't! Tell her if she doesn't get her ass over here right now to pick up her crap I'm giving it to my pervert of a brother!" She said a little louder than necessary.

"Sorry lady, but you have the wrong number." I said dead serious so I could get the message across.

Suddenly I heard a fit of laughter on the other end. "Tsk Tsk Tsk Sasuke, I'm so disappointed in you." said the girl. She kept on laughing. That laugh, I would know that laugh anywhere. I face palmed myself.

"I'm so stupid…haha, prank call? Nice one Sakura." I said slightly chuckling.

"Hey Sasuke." I could practically hear the smile in her voice.

"What do you need?"

"I want to finish telling you the truth, the rest of my story." She said. She sounded nervous but said it as strong as she could. "Ok, we left off right at the part when you crashed into the tree." I reminded her.

Sakura's POV:

I wasn't really sure what to do, but I wanted to talk to Sasuke. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and held down the number two. I never imagined I could have a phone, but Sota found one that had Braille instead of the print.

I smiled, maybe I'll mess with him a little.

"Hello?" I heard a suspicious voice answer.

"Hi is this Yuki?" I asked, using the name of the tormentor at my old school.

"Umm…n…." He started but I promptly cut him off.

"Anyway, tell her she's never invited here again. I know she was screwing around with Ren at my party last night. Hell, I found her purse and the other half of her clothes on my bed!" I said, thinking back to one of the many rumors at my old high school.

"Ummm, sorry you have the wrong number." Sasuke said.

"No I don't! Tell her if she doesn't get her ass over here right now to pick up her crap I'm giving it to my pervert of a brother!" I said really loud just to piss him off.

"Sorry lady, but you have the wrong number." He said in a really serious voice.

That was it, I started laughing like there was no tomorrow. My stomach ached and my lungs burned. I did something to give him a hint as to who I was. "Tsk Tsk Tsk Sasuke, I'm so disappointed in you." I tried to say in a serious tone, my laughter betraying me.

"I'm so stupid…haha, prank call? Nice one Sakura." He said with a surprising hint of amusement in his voice.

He asked my what I needed and I decided it was time to tell him the biggest secret I ever.

"I want to finish telling you the truth, the rest of my story." I said.

"Ok, we left off right at the part when you crashed into the tree." He reminded me.

I stopped him before he said anything else.

"Sasuke, I have another secret to tell you…." I said.

"Ok, shoot." he said.

I took in a deep breath and waited a few seconds. Only a few people knew this secret but I trust Sasuke enough to tell him.

"Sasuke, what if I told you….." I started. Saying it out loud was making me nauseous. I took another deep breath.

"What if I told you I could get my sight back?"

So, what did you think? I kind of liked the ending and I'm super excited about how the story's going to end up. I liked this chapter because of the relationship between Itachi and Sasuke. I hoped you liked it!

Two great songs this chapter. 1) Out of My League by Fitz and The Tantrums, and 2) Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Hope you enjoyed!

See you next chapter. Read it, Review it, Favorite it, and all that good stuff
