I Will Always Be With You

Chapter 2: A Wish for You

Sasuke's P.O.V.

I stepped out of the house and onto the wet and damp soil. Tiny droplets fell from the sky, as I felt the cool water land on my cheeks. I looked at the sky and watched as darkness soon engulfed it. I stayed still, and gazed upon it, even as the strong rain soon fell from the shadowy clouds.

Looking up at the empty sky reminded me of one thing, it reminded me of myself. Everything that I am, was reflected by the cold and unwanted rain, just as how everyone made me feel.

I continued to look at my surroundings. Nothing seemed to be special, until I saw her, walking out the door of her front porch. A smile appeared on my face, when I saw a tear roll down her cheeks. Her tears were soon washed away and hidden as the rain fell on her, making her clothes soaked and drenched with water. Her tears were falling fiercely, when she turned around and looked at me. I felt so sad, it was like I was seeing another side of her. A side she always covered up with her sweet smile. As soon as she saw my face, she wiped the tears from her eyes and placed on a soft smile.

"Ohayo, Sasuke - kun," She said, her eyes sparkling, her glow once more showing.

Today, something came over me, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help but smile to her. I gave her a smile that I haven't shown anyone for years. "Ohayo, Sakura - chan."

Sakura stared at me, her face red, shock and happiness were shown in her beautiful, emerald eyes.

Sakura P.O.V.

I looked at Sasuke, he was smiling at me, it was a sight I've never seen before, he showed me a smile he never showed anyone. I continued to gaze at him. I felt my face heat up and I knew that I was blushing. Sasuke still smiled at me even as the rain fell silently on him, his smile never disappeared.

'Sasuke's so cute!' I thought. But as I continued to linger on that thought, I realized why I really liked him, why I fell for this cold and heartless boy. It was because I knew that the real Sasuke was not as cold and emotionless as everyone thought he was. It was because I knew, that deep inside, even though he tries so hard to hide it from others, he cares for everyone around him.

I laughed inwardly; I kept on wondering why I had always believed in Sasuke, why I always kept on waiting for him, why I believed that he could change. I looked down at the damp and muddy ground. Why, I asked myself. How can I believe in others, in their ability to change, even if it feels like waiting for an eternity? Even when I can't do that myself? I don't get it, why can't I change? Instead of acting everything is fine, instead of covering up my true feelings with a smile.

'Sasuke,' I thought, 'You're not the only one. If only you knew what's really happening to me, if you only knew that I'm not surrounded by people who I loved just like you. Those I trusted weren't really the people I thought they were. If you only knew what kind of person that I really am, and the kind of torture I have to go through everyday; you'll know that you're not alone.'

I walked towards him, and pretty soon, I was standing in front of him, face to face. I stood there, not knowing what to do. We were standing there, facing each other, doing nothing as silence quickly filled our surroundings. I didn't know what made me do it, the feeling, it just kept on urging me to do it. I couldn't stop it, when I suddenly hugged him.

My tears fell some more, "I wish, I wish that everything about me would just change. I wish that my life didn't have to be this terrible. If only-" muffled sobs interrupted what I was going to say.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

I couldn't help but pity the girl, what had happened to her? What made her feel this way? I wrapped my arms around the crying girl. I kept on telling her to calm down and that everything would be okay, I did nothing but give her words of comfort. As soon as Sakura's crying stopped for a while, I looked at her in her emerald green eyes, it was a bit red and watery from all the crying. "Never say your life is terrible, because I'm sure, that terrible would be to go through everything that had happened in my past." I smiled at her, wanting to see her smile once more, wanting to hear her laughter. "You're life will never be terrible, because you still have those who love you and those you love around you. As long as you know there is still someone who cares for you, someone who still is alive that is making an effort to make you smile, life will never be terrible."

I looked away from her, "I wish you never would have to go through what happened to me in my past, Sakura, but you should always remember, life never lasts forever, and death will always come your way. Once your happiness is gone, it can never come back. You should always show the people you love how much they mean to you and how much you care for them, so that when the time comes, and death is their fate, you won't regret anything, unlike me."

Sakura's P.O.V.

I stayed quiet, remembering what Sasuke had just told me. What did he regret? But if he thinks that I don't regret anything in my life right now, he's wrong. I regret being the person that I am right now. I regret everything that I had done. If only I could've finished my sentence a while ago, then he would know. He would know that if only I was the perfect person that they wanted me to be, life would've been much better.
