AN: Sorry for not updating! I have been doing a lot of travel recently! I know that's no excuse but here is another chapter!
Speak
Thoughts
(Sakura's POV)
I was afraid to open my eyes. I know that Sasuke will be mad and right now, I don't want him to yell. I am such a burden. Lying here in a hospital when I promised this kind of thing wouldn't happen. Sasuke has better things to do. I doubt he's even here. I felt a tear run down my face and someone quickly wipe it away. I wondered who that was but figured it was probably Naruto. At this thought tears started to stream down my face. Why cant Sasuke be here. I need him here. Naruto always was my best friend. I guess I don't matter to Sasuke anymore. I decided not to wait any longer so I opened my eyes ready to face the loud questions of Naruto.
When I opened my eyes, I saw something I did not expect. Sasuke was sitting by my bedside. He looked like he hadn't slept for days. That can't be good for his health.
"Sas…uke…kun" He looked up at the sound of my voice, which was heavy from sleep and scratchy from lack of use. He looked relieved when he saw me. I didn't see much more before I was pulled into a hug from Sasuke.
"Dammit Sakura, don't ever do that again. I almost lost you. God… damn I love you so much, Sakura. Please don't leave me." By this point he was sobbing softly. I smiled into his shoulder. I leaned forward to give him a kiss and cut off whatever he was rambling about. He passionately responded. He poured all his love into that kiss and I could tell just how worried he was.
"I love you too, Sasuke. I will never leave you. I promise." He looked up at me and gave me one of his rare smiles before he leaned in and kissed me again. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment.
We curled up together on my bed and Sasuke fell asleep, holding me tightly. I was curious about the person following me, but I knew Sasuke hasn't been sleeping much. I decided to let him sleep. We won't die in the next few hours.
