Okay, since I got the reviews I wanted, sort of. Here's another chapter! Anyway, guess what? One of you guys were right! I gave a spoiler to one of you because you promised to update your stories as soon as possible. You guys want to know who was in the closet? Oh, you guys do? I'll tell you right now. In the closet, that made Sakura's heart shatter was...Ha, I know you guys got way to excited when you read that right? You just have to read this chapter to know. You remember how in the first chapter I did that little P.S thing? Well, I'm going to state the reason why I did this story..at the end of this chapter.

Or maybe the next. Or the next, maybe the one after that. I'll stop, since I know that I am bugging the hell out of you. I am so happy on the reviews I got! This chapter is dedicated to every single one you that reviewed the last couple chapters, without you guys, this story would be deleted already. Ahh. I think I should stop babbling now. One more quick thing, if Sasuke was like Robin, from Teen Titans, it would be kind of less interesting. Plus, wouldn't the story be shorter. What do ya think?

I loved all of your reviews! So I must thank you for that, this one is for the people who reviewed the previous chapters. Think of it as a thank you gift.

I think I should say something...Many of you guys guessed incorrectly, and some correctly, and some both..if that's possible.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I just own my clothes, iPod, and chapstick, and more. .


Finally, she came across the seven minutes in heaven door. Without thinking, she opened it. "You run way to---What in the world!" Carolyn shouted at the sight before her. Sakura's heart dropped, Carolyn was screaming, at her or the two before them, Sakura didn't really care or listen because the 'oh-so-wonderful' sight made her heart shatter into a million pieces.


Speechless. Loss for words. She tried to speak, she really did, but she couldn't. The poor girl could literally feel her heart break. It was the most painful thing in the world, that's what she thought. Her eyes clenched shut, and reopened. Hoping that it was just a dream, just an illusion that will disappear. Hoping that she would wake up in her bed. With a second try, emerald eyes revealed themselves. Knowing it was not at all a dream, she saw the man in the closet stand. No, let me rephrase that. She saw her best friend stand up and take a step towards her. Out of instinct, she stepped back. "Sakura-" his voiced called her name, slowly.

"No, please..Just, leave me alone for a while." Sakura tired erasing the disturbing image out of her head. But it kept coming back. Sasuke and Karin. Yeah, you read right. Karin. The whore. Her head shook side to side, her ponytail following her movements. Sasuke's hand was under her tight shirt. The other was in her shorts, Sakura glanced up at them again. Sasuke's eyes showed concern, she only wanted to run into his arms. To be held, but it was not the time, and he wasn't the person. Karin smirked at the girl. Sasuke tried to reach for her hand; and she walked back yet again. Carolyn stared in pity of Sakura, it was obvious that she saw Sakura loved Sasuke.

Sakura walked down the stairs as fast as possible, that was the only thing that came in mind. Run. Carolyn stared after her, and Sasuke ran after her. Carolyn glared at Karin, who smiled back. "Don't give me that bullshit, Karin." the red head only looked at her 'innocently' and asked whatever she did wrong, "I want you to leave my house," Carolyn walked to the stairs and looked back, "Don't ever come back, and do not hurt Sakura anymore then you have. I know you knew what you were doing to her. If you try to do anything to Sakura, you will be dealing with me. Remember that."

Karin gasped which quickly turned into anger, "What?! Why in the world are you defending her?! You just met her!" Carolyn gave a small smile at Karin. Then replied, "I might be younger then her, but I know what it feels to be in love with your best friend. It's pretty obvious that she loves him. I admit, Sasuke is a fine thing to look at, but I would not hurt someone else to bang him. Of course, a whore like you wouldn't know." Karin's inky eyes widened.


"Saki, hold up!" he called. She ignored his calls and ran faster. "Are you insane?! You're house is far from here!" He screamed. Obviously, she was not thinking straight. Her house was about four miles away, and running would probably take her a day. Still, she refused to listen to him. Her heart can't take it. Maybe he noticed that she loved him, maybe he was going to confess his love to her! Maybe he was only using Karin! The possibilities ran in her head. "Fuck! Sakura! Damn it!" She was faster then him, all her jogging on Saturday morning paid off.

Luckily, a car pulled up in front of her. The car door opened and she saw Naruto. Her eyes also saw Ino in the back, knocked out. "Get in." Without a second thought, she climbed into the car and slammed the door. Naruto drove away right when Sasuke was within hands reach of the silver Volvo. In the car, was silent. Hating the silence, Naruto decided to take a risk and talk to Sakura. "What happened between you and the human ice cube?" The car turned right, driving it's way to Ino's house. Hearing no reply, he turned to her. What he saw made his own heart break. She was crying, and crying hard. Her face was buried in her hands. "Sakura, tell me. What happened?"

Sakura finally looked up at her friend. Her face was stained with her tears, "N-Naruto, I think that I should tell y-you what happened from the top.." Naruto nodded urging her to continue. Unknown to them, the girl in the back was starting to wake up. "I...I love my best friend.." she sobbed here and there making it a little difficult of what she was saying. Luckily, she did not have to repeat herself. Instead of his eyes widening and asking her a million questions like she thought he would, he grinned back at her.

"I know you do, Sakura. It's pretty obvious. I think everyone knows it, besides Sasuke himself of course."

Sakura gasped and shook her head. Then, she continued her story. "Anyway.. he asked me to come to him to this party. I asked him if we could take Gaara, he refused at first but he gave in soon enough. He made me promise that I won't leave him at the party. I did, though, to talk to you guys. When I turned around, he was nowhere in sight. I talked to Carolyn and she said she saw them go upstairs...And..." she could not go on. It hurt her way to much.

Naruto did not put the pieces together, "And..?" he said, Sakura continued to cry. Her wet eyes looked up at him, and glared, "His hand was in her shirt! The other in her shorts! Why can't you put the pieces together Naruto!? Why are you so stupid!? Why does he hurt me so much?! Why?! Why can't I not love him?! Why am I cursed with this complicated life?! I didn't ask for this!" A hand placed itself on her shoulder, she expected to be Naruto, but no, it was Ino.

"Oh, Sakura. It's okay you love Sasuke." said Ino. The pink haired girl continued to cry, soaking her shorts. "You need to stop crying." In the blink of an eye, Sakura slapped her hand away. Surprised, Ino looked at her. Blankly. "Don't you dare me to stop crying! Do you know how much I love him? How much I still love him? Do you know the pain I feel? Do you know how I felt when I saw him with.." She broke down crying again. Naruto pulled on the curb of Ino's apartment.

"Actually, I do know how much you love him, and I know you still do. I may not know what pain you felt, but I think it was pretty simliar to the pain I felt when I saw Sai with another girl. Thanks for the ride Naruto. I hope you feel better Sakura, eat some ice cream, and go watch a comedy movie. I think that will have you feel better." She opened the car door, but when she was about to step out, Sakura called out her name gaining her attention.

"I'm sorry. Sorry that I snapped, it's just that..I don't know what came over me. I can't take anymore pain." said Sakura looking down shamefully. Ino smiled at her friend, "It's understandable, I don't blame you...How about this, I will come by tomorrow with Hinata, Tenten and Temari and we'll all talk about it.." Sakura nodded, talking was something she could do. She had to get this off her chest somehow.


"Thank you, so much. Naruto, I owe you big time." Sakura said as she stopped in front of her house. Naruto was staring at her house, as if someone was staring back. She decided to question him. "Naruto, what are you staring at?" His head shook. Naruto dismissed it, saying it was nothing. He wished her that she would get better and the door slammed.

Inside her house, she sighed. Tonight was a long night. Not wanting to take a shower, she jumped on her mattress and tried to fall asleep. Not bothering to even change her clothes. A loud banging noise on her front door made her run downstairs and look through the peep-hole. Sakura cursed, for who she saw in the hole was someone she did not want to talk to right now. Glancing at the clock, it was nearly twelve in the morning. Sakura walked away from the door and the insanely loud shouting. "Saki, I know you are in there. Open the door!" Sakura stood frozen. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am so sorry.. Please, I beg you, forgive me. You're the only one who understands me. Just, open the door. If you're listening, I need you to open this door, I need to explain myself."

She walked to the door, her hand already on the door knob. 'What am I doing?' she questioned herself. Sakura stepped back. It wasn't the right time, not now. Tears sprung in her eyes, she was replaying today--I mean, yesterday's events. Sakura stared at the door blankly and listened closely for footsteps.

Minutes later, she heard footsteps walked farther away from her house, followed by a cars engine. The girl took a large intake of air and walked back up to her room, burying her face in her soft white pillow.


"So that was what you were going to tell me that time we went to the lounge?" a female asked. That so called female was Tenten. One of Sakura's good to be true friends. The girls of the group were at Sakura's house, sitting in a circle type shape. In the middle of them was a large bowl of popcorn, chips, and there was also some small drinks. Sakura nodded and poked her straw into the juice box.

"I h-hope you're feeling m-much better now.." Hinata shyly said. Sakura smiled kindly at the girl, her friends knew her smiles were fake. It was clear that she put way too much force on it. It was visible that she did not get any sleep the other night. It only may have been one night, but there was tiny circles under her eyes. She was also wearing the same exact clothes, they knew Sakura didn't feel like changing.

"I'm not fully better, but I think I'll live." she replied. A knock on the door, made Sakura's orbs widen. Her guts were telling her that it was Sasuke, again. "Tenten, Ino, can you go get that? I think it might be him." She never spoke his name, for she knew that she would just end up crying. Ino and Tenten nodded and walked to the door, Hinata and Sakura quickly ran behind the door so they could hear everything they were saying. The white door opened and it revealed a exhausted looking Sasuke.

"Where's Sakura?" he asked urgently. The said girl shut her eyes, she could already see him asking for her. There was a little hole where the hindgesand since Sakura was nearest to it, she looked through it. He had not changed from yesterday's events. Sakura saw that Tenten and Ino shook their head, he tried walking passed them, but they blocked him. "We're not letting you see her, at least not yet. She isn't ready.."

"I don't give a fuck if she is ready or not! I need to talk to her!" he said, Sakura began to quietly sob. Hinata stared at her concerned and wrapped her into a hug. Sakura was trying desperately to shut the hell up, but she continued crying. Secretly, she closed the door, just enough for Sasuke not to see the inside of her house and she ran into the living room. Hinata was following right on her heels.

"Uchiha! If you have any feelings at all for your best friend, you willgive her time. Do you know how hard it was for you to ditch her just for some slut?! You should have seen her last night when Naruto and I took her home." Ino said, dangerously low.

"Look, Yamanaka. Last I checked, she was my best friend. Not yours." He took a deep breath, and glared at the two girls. "Whatever, tell her that if she still wants to be considered a friend in my book, tell her to give me a call. I don't even know why the hell she's getting so damn worked up about this shit. So childish."

A tan hand landed on his cheek, leaving a trace of a red hand print. Sasuke glared at the person who slapped him. Which was Tenten. "How dare you! First, you break Sakura. Then you insult her realfriends. And you have the guts to put your friendship you have on the line?! I do not know what the fuck she sees in you. You're only an idiot, I can't believe you would be denser then Naruto! Use your damn eyes! Get the fuck away from this house."

"Fuck you guys. I don't give a damn anymore." he said, he raised his voice louder. "Hear that, Sakura?! I don't give a shit anymore!!" He heard cries from the other room. "Cry your fucking heart out! See if I care!

"Get the hell away from here!" Tenten barked. Sasuke smirked and said a 'gladly.' He left the house, he left Sakura, he left her best friend, and all he did was smirk!


"W-why would he do that!" cried the girl. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were wrinkled. The pain she felt was unbearable, Sakura pulled her legs up against her chest. "I've known him for the longest time ever! And this is what he does, I can't stand this pain. I don't know what do to!" she sniffed. Hinata was already there, rubbing her back in a sign of comfort.

"S-Sakura, maybe you s-should try to f-forget him..." Hinata suggested, getting nods from Tenten and Ino. Sakura shook her head, saying she rather be alone. "If that's your way of having to feel better, it isn't really the way to go. Want to go the the street fair tonight?" Every single Saturday, there was a street fair. The fair was near a theatre, yogurt place, and it was near the lounge. There was petting zoos and some pony rides. It was every little kids dreams.

Tenten giggled at Ino's suggestion, "That's a place for little kids.." Tenten said. Despite of what recently happened, the brunette still managed to laugh. Sakura frowned, "I'm not really up to go..maybe next week." Ino shook her head at her friend she waved her index finger side-to-side, "Nuh-uh! If you do not want to go the street fair, we're going to watch a movie. If you refuse to do that, then we'll go to the park, we have millions of options, just choose one."

"What if he is there?" Sakura questioned. The three girls sighed, "Sakura, listen to me. Sasuke can not be in two places at once, it's impossible. You really need to relax. We're going to watch a movie, and I don't care if you don't want to go. We're still going." Once In sets her mind on something, there is no turning back. Knowing that, Sakura sighed and stood up from her couch. "Where you going?" Ino asked. Sakura gave a little smirk at her, "Getting changed, aren't we going to see a movie?" Ino brightly smiled along with her other friends, they really thought Sakura was getting better.

Sooner or later, Sakura came down in button up white and blue plaid shirt with her gray skinny jeans. Her shoulder length hair was down and damp, it was obvious that she just took a short shower. Her outfit was simple, and it was nothing way to flashy. Sakura wore some black flip-flops. It was very sunny outside, and there was no need for a sweater. Ino nodded, approving her outfit. Being in her state, Ino thought that Sakura was going to wear something dark but she didn't. That's what surprised her. "Can I drive?" Sakura asked. Everyone nodded, seeing nothing wrong with it.


They were in line for their tickets, the wait for getting their tickets was not long but the guy who worked over there was having an argument with the costumer. Which was taking forever. "Hurry up, will you!? Other people want to watch a damn movie!" Tenten shouted, getting angry. Oh, how her temper was getting tested. The girl got silence as a response and she sighed thankful that all the shouting subsided. "Good, now you." she pointed at the worker, "Give the dude and his friend the tickets! We've been waiting for what feels like an hour!" The worker complied and soon, the girls were next.

"Four tickets to Transformers," Ino held up two fingers, "Two." Soon enough, they recieved their tickets and entered the required destination. There sat in the middle, giving them a good spot to watch the movie. Hinata was on the left end, next to her was Sakura. Beside Sakura was Tenten and then Ino. "Sh-should we get some p-popcorn?" Hinata asked.

"I'll go get it." offered Sakura. The girls starting digging in their pockets for money, they were never really liked carrying a annoying purse with them all the time. "No, it'll be on me." whispered Sakura as she stood up. Hinata offered to go with her, but kindly, Sakura refused her offer saying that nothing could possibly happen.


"One extra large popcorn." Sakura muttered. "Any drinks?" the worker asked, she shook her head and paid for the popcorn. "Movie is probably starting.." she mumbled. Sakura walked back to the room she left her friends, well, she tried that is but was stopped when she bumped into someone. Instead of falling, she staggered back a little. Also, some of the popcorn fell out. Causing a scatter of popcorn below her. "Damn it! What the hell is your problem?!" she shouted.

Then, she froze. "D-Dylan?" '

The boy before her smiled back, "Sakura. I heard of what happened between you and Sasuke. I'm sorry..." Wow, news sure spread fast. Sakura felt as if she was a teenager again. "It's fine....is he here with you..?" she whispered. Dylan nodded, "Yeah. Maybe you should go. I can tell you are not ready to see him.."

The girl nodded and walked off. Why was he here of all places? Her bad and sad mood came creeping back. 'Shit! I should have asked him what movie they were watching, so I know what movie I could stay away from..' She sat inbetween Hinata once again and handed the shy girl the popcorn.

"Did you eat half the popcorn walking over here?" Tenten whispered playfully. Sakura shook her head, she didn't even crack a smile. The next thing surprised her. He walked in, he took a seat a row in front of her, he didn't know she was behind him, he broke her heart. She gasped, she couldn't do anything about it, she still loved him, and she knew that. He watched the movie with Dylan beside him. She had tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to do.


Yay, you got another chapter! I hope you liked it. I couldn't help putting the whole 'he' and 'she' thing. I just felt like it was needed. Anyway. Time for my explaination!

The reason why I decided to put up this story: not only was this a killer romance and drama story, it also portrays the pain girls go through when they love their best friend and they can't return the feelings. I will try to describe how much pain she felt, and I want to try and have you, the readers, try and feel the pain. Yep, that is my reason!

Let me know what you think. I'm sorry if this chapter seemed 'rushed.'

Fifteen reviews and then you earned yourself another update! So since I have 43 reviews right now, I will NOT update until I get 56-58. There is more coming soon, as fast as I get my reviews you get the chapter! There is nothing else to say.

Ja ne.
