" Opening The Heart"
" The Reason Is You"
" So today, we had to have a group project and I was paired up with Sasuke and Naruto!" Sakura said happily while talking to her boyfriend on the phone.
" Isn't Sasuke the guy that you used to have a crush on?"
" Shut up Deidara! Yeah I did a long long time ago until I met you, but don't worry you are the only one in my heart."
" I see."
" Yeah, I know you said we can see other people since we are apart but I don't want anyone else but you."
" Yeah..."
" You seem depressed. Are you okay?"
" Yeah."
" You can tell me anything Deidara."
" Okay well you know that I would bring up that girl Karin sometimes?"
" Yeah like she is you best friend or something."
" Well we had been actually dating for the past six months and she dumped me yesterday. We were going to get married too."
"..."
" Sakura?"
"..."
" Who are you talking about Shikamaru?"
Sasuke growled out as he kept embracing Sakura in his arms while glaring at the male but before Shikamaru had a chance to explain, he was stopped.
" He's dead..." Sakura whispered out still crying.
" Shikamaru, why did you tell her that someone was dead! Who are you talking about?" Naruto yelled out while Shikamaru was shocked by the blond's out burst.
" I just said that he died... because that's what she wanted to hear I guess, I don't know who she is talking about." Shikamaru stated but Sasuke saw the look in his eyes and knew he wasn't telling the truth.
' He's hiding something...' Sasuke thought to himself.
" Sakura, do you want to go home now?" Neji asked but everyone saw her shake her head.
" N-No, Asuma will make me go back to that place."
Sakura mumbled out as she tightened her grip on Sasuke. Sasuke looked down at the girl and saw fear in her eyes because he knew she was talking about the mental hospital.
" I'm going to take her back home." Sasuke stated then leaned over to her ear.
" Don't worry, I will stay by your side and I promise that I won't let them take you back there." Sasuke then gently kiss her cheek and pulled away and help the girl up.
" Alright, do you want us to go with you?" Naruto watched as Sasuke then picked Sakura up bridal style and watched him shake his head.
" It's not nessary, I'll call you guys later." Sasuke said as he began to walk to his car.
He unlocked his car and carefully placed Sakura in her seat and put her seat belt on for her. He shut the door and walked on the other side of the car and got in and drove off. During the car ride, it was mostly silent but Sasuke would occasionally glance over at her and would noticed her looking out of the window with a sad look on her face.
" Hey Sasuke?"
It was the first time Sakura had spoken since they had left the party.
" Hn." Sasuke responded while keeping his eyes on the road.
When he didn't hear her continue, he looked over and noticed that she had fallen a sleep. Sasuke shook his head and continued to drive.
When he got to Sakura's house, he picked her up and carried her to the door and knocked a few times. A few moments later, the door opened up, revealing Sakura's mother. She smiled at Sasuke then looked down and her expression change when she took a glance at her daughter.
" What happened?"
" Sakura is only passed out. Apparently she had taken some drugs and was drinking." Sasuke explained as her mother let him into the house and walked with him as they went to her room and laid her down on the bed.
Sasuke stood and watched as Sakura's mother sat beside her daughter and softly brushing the pink hair out of Sakura's eyes.
" Sakura was actually really afraid of coming home, she was scared that Asuma was going to send her to the hospital again." Sasuke casually explained and Sakura's mother looked up.
" I wasn't aware that you knew where she had been for the past year." Sakura's mother spoke out while Sasuke nod his head.
" Yeah, she told me that she was sent to a mental hospital after she tried to kill herself."
" Yes, after what had happened she went through a very bad depression and... well to think about it, this isn't the first time she had came home messed up. I remember one time Sasori brought her home and she was crying and all she would say was that he was dead." Sakura's mother thought sadly over the memory.
" That's what she was doing tonight! She kept talking about someone being dead, do you know who she was talking about?" Sasuke questioned her and the way that she looked away from him knew what the answer was.
" So I guess you don't know the whole story." Sakura's mother spoke out quietly as she got off of the bed while Sasuke kept his gaze on the older woman.
" What happened?" Sasuke asked as he walked out of the bedroom with Sakura's mother.
" You see, Sakura's father and I are divorced. He lives about 14 hours away from here, currently living with his new wife and her two kids. So during the summers, Sakura would stay with them and have many friends until the summer before last, one of her friends had passed away."
Sakura's mother said softly as they walked down the stairs. Sasuke then followed her into the living room and took a seat on the couch while she sat next to him.
" I'm sorry to hear that, Sakura never mentioned anything like that to me." Sasuke said with a frown on his face.
" Yeah, it's something that she doesn't like to talk about because the pain still hurts her a lot. That is why she drinks and does drugs." Sakura's mom said.
" You are her mother. Why are you letting her waste her life." Sasuke spat at, thinking about his brother at the same time.
" I know how you are with drugs and your brother but honey, I didn't know what else to do. After her friend died, she tried to kill herself at her father's home and it freaked out his wife so much, he doesn't even speak to Sakura anymore."
Sasuke couldn't help but feel guilty about what Sakura had been through. He had been through stuff in his life but he never had anyone close to him die or any family members disown him, especially his own father.
" Hn." That was all Sasuke could say at the moment.
" Anyways so she came back home and by that time, me and Asuma were dating and ever since she had came home, she was always out then comes home drunk and that one time she came home with her friend Sasori, she was at her worst. She was crying so hard that I had to stay up all night to make sure she didn't try to hurt herself. Then the next day, we went over to Asuma's to have lunch and she went into the bathroom and slit her wrists with a razor that she had been carrying around. Fortunatly, she didn't lock the door and Asuma found her passed out. We took her to the hospital and while she was in the emergency room, Asuma told me that it was time for her to get help and I agreed to have her be placed in a hospital." Sakura's mother explained then looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall and noticed how late it was.
" Well it was nice chatting with you Sasuke but I must be going to bed." Sakura's mother said as she got up from the couch as he followed her actions even though he was disapointed because he wanted to know more about Sakura.
" Will Sakura be okay by herself?" Sasuke asked as she walked him to the front door and opened it up for him.
" She is going to be fine. If you want, you can stop by tomorrow and visit her but please don't mention anything that we talked about, if she isn't ready to tell you about it she will one day." She watched as he walked out the door and stopped for a moment and turned around.
" I will. Goodnight." Sasuke said as he began to walk towards his house, hearing the door close behind him.
The next morning, Sasuke woke up around noon and figured he would go over to Sakura's house and see how she was doing today. After he got dressed, he walked outside and headed his way to her house. While he was walking, he could hear a female singing coming from the garage but ignored it and continued to walk to the front door. He knocked on the door and wasn't surprised when Sakura's mother had opened it up.
" Hey Sasuke, glad to see that you wanted to check up on my little princess." She said with a smile on her face.
" Yeah, is she awake yet?" Sasuke asked out of curiosity.
" She sure is." She let Sasuke come into the house and closed the door behind them.
" Is she in her room?" Sasuke questioned but saw her shake her head.
" No, she's in the garage practicing with her band, why don't you go cheer them on." She said as she walked away to the kitchen while Sasuke couldn't get over the fact that Sakura was in a band.
He walked to the back of the house until he reached the garage door, hearing the music getting louder and louder. He slowly opened up the door and walked in to see Sakura was singing, a red headed male was playing the guiter, a weird looking guy was on the drums and unfortuatly Sasori was on the bass, all of the were facing their backs towards the Uchiha so they didn't know they had an audience.
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Sasuke looked over at Sasori and watched him play, getting more jealous by the moment that he was in her band.
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
Goddddddd!!!!
Sasuke was stunned in amazement that Sakura could growl like that.
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
The music ended and an applause started which caused everyone to turn around to see Sasuke clapping.
" Sasuke!" Sakura said with happiness but he noticed that her frown disapeared and looked back at her bandmates.
" Okay I think that is enough practice for today so you guys can go home now." Sakura said.
" Alright, see you later Sakura." Gaara said as him and Konkuro walked past Sasuke and went into the house.
" Thank you so much for coming today Sasori and substituting for Temari." Sakura told Sasori while he smirked back.
" No problem, I'll leave you two alone." Sasori said as he walked by Sasuke and winked at the Uchiha while he glared in return. Sasuke looked over to see Sakura had taken a seat on a wooden bench that was in the garage. Sasuke casually walked over to her and took a seat next to her but not too close.
" I didn't know you were in a band." Sasuke was the first one to start talking.
" Yeah, Sasori isn't in it, since Temari is out of town and is our bassist, Sasori said he could fill in her place for today. We have a show coming up soon that we need to prepare for." Sakura said.
" Hn."
" My mom told me that you were the one that brought me home last night." Sakura began to speak as she looked over at him while he wouldn't look back.
" Hn."
" Well I just wanted to say thank you Sasuke... for being there for me even though I bet you hate me right now." Sakura mumbled out while looking away from him.
" I don't know if I should never comfort you again because of the fucked up mistake you made by taking all those drugs when I told you how much I hated that crap..."
Sasuke started off and looked over at the pink haired girl and noticed that tears were beginning to form out of the corner of her eyes. Sasuke let out a frustrating sigh and scooted closer to the girl.
" Or should I hold you closer than ever because of the pain that you are hiding on the inside." Sasuke spoke out softly as he brought up his hand and helped her wipe away some of her tears. Her eyes widen and looked over at Sasuke, unsure of what he meant by his words.
" What do you mean Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
" Why did you decide to go out and get fucked up?" Sasuke growled out but not too mean, he just wanted to get his point across.
" Because of you." Sakura whispered out as she turned her head.
" What was that?" Sasuke couldn't hear her because she was talking to softly.
" Because of you damnit! But it's fine if you rather hang out with your ex then go on a date with me. Everyone always chooses someone over me." Sakura cried out which surprised the Uchiha.
" Sakura, I told you that I was sorry. I had forgotten about our date and I just hadn't seen Kin in a long time you see, she was the first girl that I ever had a relationship with. I used to have a huge crush on this one girl and when I met Kin who is two years older than us, I got over the feelings I had for the other girl and I fell in love with Kin. I even lost my virginity to her but when she left for college, we broke up." Sasuke explained.
" Wasn't she that senior that you dated during our freshman year?" Sakura asked him and saw him nod his head.
" Yeah, she had skipped a grade in elementary school so she was a senior instead of a junior." Sasuke said.
" She's really pretty..." Sakura trailed off as she looked down at the hands on her lap.
" I guess." Sasuke shrugged off.
" Well why are you here with me when you should be hanging out with her?" Sakura asked.
" I rather be with you than be with you silly." Sasuke joked out as he patted her head, trying to cheer her up.
" Then why did you-"
" I already told you I forgot but I will make it up to you. Tonight I will take you on the best date ever." Sasuke smirked to himself but frowned when he noticed that Sakura didn't seem happy.
" No thanks Sasuke." Sakura said as she got up from her seat and began to stretch.
" But why not? You were so excited about it the other night and now you don't want to." Sasuke was a little bit pissed off about the situation.
" Because friends don't date." Sakura explained with a sad smile on her face. Sasuke stood up and immediatly embraced her.
" What are you doing Sasuke?" Sakura tried to get out of his arms but her tightened his hold so she couldn't move away.
" I'm trying to make your pain go away." Sasuke whispered into her ear. Sakura's eyes widen and looked up to see the sincere look on his face.
" I-I can't..." Sakura couldn't help but start crying again.
" Shhh, I know that you are in pain but I will be here for you." Sasuke said as he leaned down and kissed her head.
" Be my girlfriend." Sasuke told her while putting his head against hers which surprised her.
Okay I really hated this chapter like a lot. It was one of those chapters that brought up bad memories so I had to rush threw it to get it over with. Anyways let me know how it is :)
Oh yeah has anyone seen the latest ending credits of Shippuden with Sakura writing Sasuke's name on the beach? wtf is up with that? If you have let me know what you thought about it. I can't stand watching the show but I watched the episode because a friend told me to.
