It's been at least…. At least…a month since she left Sasuke. Her heart broke every time she thought of his name, but she did it for both of them. Never did he seem happy being with her. Their marriage simply consisted of posing with friends, Sasuke working, Sakura worrying. Of course, she was being selfish. But he never made time for her. He was always working or hanging out with Naruto. Not once did his nights consist of spending them with her.

Her eyes felt puffy again. Crying over him again. She deserved better, right?

Ino was being a best bestie ever and let her stay with her. She understood the situation and didn't push boundaries or pick sides. Sakura was the one she was worried most about. Naruto has been telling her that Sasuke hasn't been looking so well.

She checked her phone when she got another text message from Naruto saying he found Sasuke passed out in the bathroom along with everything Sasuke drank the night before.

"… What do we do Naruto?" She texted him back. In the meantime she went to check on Sakura. "Are you feeling alright Gorgeous?" Standing there on the other side of her door, she waited for a reply. For a moment she thought Sakura was sleep and turned to go cook lunch. Then choked up sobs and sniffles erupted from her room.

She immediately rushed in and saw Sakura holding a pillow close to her chest. Black bags were under her eyes from lack of sleep and her eyes seemed they were permanently red from all the crying she's been doing.

"Sakura…" Ino engulfed her friend in a hug which only made Sakura cry harder.

"I miss him so much, Ino! I know he was never there but… but I truly did love him. At least I thought I did. What did I do wrong that he wouldn't look at me when he came home from work? He never called when he was working late at work. He didn't care. I cared too much. I would worry and… and…" Sakura couldn't hold back the whimpers in the back of her throat as Ino tried to comfort her.

Naruto texted her back and she quickly looked. "I know this is odd… but I have no idea. We need to prove a point to Sasuke. Get Sakura out there and show him what he's missing." Ino smiled as an idea popped into her mind and decided to text him back later.

She helped Sakura off the bed and into the bathroom. "Now let's get you cleaned up."

Naruto frowned at his best friend on the floor. He had finally woken but was glaring at anything and everything he looked at. The migraine he managed to get throbbed continuously. Finally his eyes laid on Naruto and he clenched his hands.

"What are you doing in my house?" Sasuke's voice was stern but held no threat. It was soft and raspy. Naruto ignored his friend and nudged his friend with his foot.

"You look like a wreck, Sasuke" He walked farther into the bathroom and started to pick Sasuke up. Of course, being Sasuke, he accepts help from no one. He twists away from Naruto and holds onto the countertop of the sink to keep balanced.

The air around them began to get stuffy and filled with electricity. It was an uncomfortable silence… more like suffocating.

"You pushed her to leave…." Naruto wanted to be there for Sasuke but he wanted him to know that he was in the wrong. His best friend didn't look up at him but tightened his grip on the countertop until his knuckles turned white.

Sasuke's hair casted over his eyes. There was no way to tell what he was thinking. "She left on her own." He finally spat. Naruto held himself together and resisted the urge to punch the man in front of him.

It was obvious Sasuke was falling apart. If you didn't know what was wrong with him emotionally, you could notice it physically. He clearly hasn't been eating and the only thing going in was alcohol (which always found its way out.)

"She…She left me… and-" Sasuke stood there facing Naruto at loss of words. So many emotions were swimming around in his black orbs but the one that stood out most was regret. He pushed off the counter and stumbled over to the bed.

The light shining from the window made his head throb more. This hangover was going to be the death of him.

Naruto looked sadly at his friend. Never has he seen Sasuke break down like this. And if he ever has he did it without anyone's knowledge. He was a master at hiding his feelings but this much be too much for him.

Cautiously, he walked over to the bed and sat down next to him. "It's not too late to fix this, Teme." Sasuke's ears perked up at his trademark nickname.

"It's too late for me to fix anything. She's probably found someone she deserves. Someone who will treat her how I should've." He shook his head and fell back against the bed.

The scent of Cherries and Cinnamon invaded his senses. He felt his chest ache again. I hope you're doing well… Sakura.

Naruto's ocean blue eyes shook at the sight. Sakura definitely made her mark in Sasuke's life. And physically, pink and green clashed with the navy. Strangely, it fit. When he was about to say something to bring up the atmosphere, he saw a tear slide down Sasuke's cheek.

He couldn't keep his composure over this. Tears filled his own eyes and Sasuke finally perked up. "Get out of ou-… my house, Dobe." It took all of Sasuke's will to say that sentence without shaky breaths.

"I'll be back later to check up you." Naruto flashed his signature grin and swore something close to a smirk appeared on Sasuke's face.

I found a new inspiration [yay] and I will be redoing Sakura's kittycat and some of Sakura's angel before updating them ^^ so stick with me guys.
