-Dodges potatoes-

-Screams-

Sorry! I know, I know it's way late and all... and to add to that excuse, I went obsessive over this game. Ya, know?

Alright, let us move on. Hey how's it going..? So.. you guys thanks for the reviews! You guys wanted a lemon and all but I'm not sure you know? It has to fit in with the story like. I understand how one of you thought that it would be the perfect time and all but I'm not that great of an author so if you don't read one in this chapter just expect something soon. If you do read one in this chapter well, happy birthday to you!! Haha! So basically, I'm not saying if there is one or not.

You have to find out! ;)!!

PS: Running out of ideas here, and getting so lazy. I want to take a break but I force myself to do this. xD

Don't own Naruto; blah blah.

The knocking has yet to stop. She was getting very annoyed at the fact that Sasuke has been banging on her door more thirty minutes now. Did he ever give up? What Sakura fears the most is what he was there to do - rejection. It made her heart break just by thinking of it. She tried blocking out the music by her handy music player, but it wasn't loud enough. Time to time he would scream her name and plead for her to open the door.

Bang! Bang! Ding dong!! "I have had enough!!" she screeched as she stomped her way to open the door. Sakura was smart enough to not open it wide enough because as soon as she did he tried to get in. "What do you want?!"

"Sakura, thank god you answered your door! You have no idea how long I have been-"

She snorted, "Of course I known! You have been knocking for like thirty minutes! Look, I do not need your rejection. If you made your decision and you decided to go back to Dylan? That's fine.." The pale door started to close but his hand shot up preventing it from doing so. She opened it only to reveal a lovesick looking male. "What? You wanna say it to my face?" she spat.

"No!"

"Then what do you want? My advice on how to get Dylan? Sorry I have none."

"....Sakura. I know that you like me and all but please. Don't make this hard on me right now I just want to clear my head. With everything going on with Dylan and everything I'm just - "

"Confused of your sexual orientation?" she suggested raising a brow. There was a moment of silence between them.

"I guess.." he admitted Sasuke then shook his head, "Anyway. I just do not know what to do and I don't need to add anymore problems. I'm sorry and all but please.."

"So you're saying you want me to forget my feelings and think that this never happened.. right? Like I would be throwing away all my feelings just because you want less problems? What about me Sasuke? How about my feelings! I'm the one mostly suffering here!" her voice cracked as she was choking back sobs. Sakura couldn't help it.

"Sakura it isn't like I hate you or anything - "

"It's just that you hate me enough to not care about my feelings."

He pushed the door open even though Sakura was trying so very hard to keep it closed. She was about to run into her room and lock the door, hoping that in time he would give up and go home but as she was about to run he gripped her upper arm and pulled her to him. Slamming her into the wall. "Will you shut up already? I do care about your feelings I just don't know how I feel about you!"

"That's a load of bullshit! And you know it!" before she could continue on with her rant he slammed his lips on hers. She was shocked and for a minute she couldn't move nor think. When he parted away from her lips, he leaned onto her, his forehead against hers. Sakura finally comprehended what happened and hastily pushed him away. Sasuke tried coming towards her again but she pushed him again, "No! S-Stay away from me!"

"Sakura I - "

"No.." Sakura whispered, a bit heartbroken. Who could blame her? He was unsure about who he wants to be with, male or female, and she wants to be with him. She glared at him after a minute, "Why the hell did you just do that?" Her voice asked desperately. When Sasuke didn't answer she looked up at him, "Get out... Please.. I can't stand it when you have two people loving you yet you can't decide who to be with." A frown was present on her features, "I can not bare the pain.."

All he did, all he could do was nod and leave. That's all no other words were spoken. As she saw her front door close a bit to loudly she sank to the floor and cried her heart out. It was wrong to suddenly kiss someone and the fact that someone else wanted him and all that bull, but why did she feel so guilty that she let him go?

Four days passed and Sakura managed to avoid Sasuke. Despite the countless phone calls, the random visits and the weired letters. She was now walking around her house being bored while trying to find something to do. "It's official, I have no life. Joy." she mumbled. Sakura didn't mention what happened the pass few days to her friends because they would instantly do something funny.

Like maybe lock them up in a extremely small closet.

Yeah, they would do something like that.

Deciding that she would rather read than waste her time just standing around staring on to space, she went to her handy bookshelf, that was hardly even full, and grabbed a random book named, 'Ink Exchange'. Honestly, Sakura didn't ever touch the book but the cover looked pretty cool and she just grabbed it and bought it. The cover had a female with her back towards the cover with a tattoo on her back. The ink was black which had these mysterious eyes with vines and wings around it.

Sakura promised herself that she would read it but she remembered clearly that she got a call from Sasuke asking if they could hang out. She not being able to deny him said yes cheerfully.

Time passed and by now she was already nearing the end of the book. That was until she got a phone call and it was Tenten. "What do you want? I'm reading.." there was a moment of silence before she dropped the phone on the carpeted floor her book forgotten as she rushed out of her house only wearing her heart pajama pants and a white shirt.

"Where is he?!" demanded Sakura to the receptionst of the hospital, "Where is Sasuke Uchiha? What room is he in? Tell me now!"

"U-uh, he is in the emergency room." she nervously said, "There are a few other people here for Uchiha Sasuke, also. In the waiting room on your right." When the receptionist stopped talking Sakura hastily made her way to the direction of the waiting room. Sakura soon arrived to her destination and spotted all the girls and a all the guys.

Some faces wore the expression of worried, but it was beyond that. They all cared about Sasuke greatly and now he was in the ER and he could die. Not one of them spoke Sakura just took a seat next to the crying Hinata. They waited for a few minutes but it already felt like hours to Sakura.

Everyone was nervous. Neji then stood up and excused himself to get a drink. Again, no one said anything because they were all worrying and expected the worse. Hinata's cries were silent all because Naruto was there whispering sweet nothings into her ear and soothed her. Tenten and Ino were blankly staring at the white tiled floor. Sai was next to Ino while she rested her head against his chest. Shikamaru and Temari had left a few seconds ago.

In time an exhausted looking nurse stepped out. "Uchiha Sasuke?" His friends stood up quickly all at once that it startled the young nurse. "I'm happy to inform you that Sasuke is doing well. His injuries were severe but none life threatening. Although, there is always a small bad news. He is placed in a coma, and he won't wake for a while. Our doctors guess that he'll be knocked out for at least a week or two. Other then that, he will be staying here and be monitored twenty four seven. Such a young boy," she commented sadly. Sakura then took notice that she was roughly about fourty.

"...Are we able to see him?" asked Naruto.

She shook her head, "I'm sorry. He is in critical condition, as we speak he is still being watched. Do any of you know what happened to him? He had glass in his skin, some deep and some not. It looked as if he was in a car accident."

It was true now, since Sakura stepped foot in the hospital no one really told her what happened. In fact, she never really saw Sasuke's current condition. Picturing Sasuke on the white bed, pale and lifeless. Scratches all over his body and his eyes closed, sealing his obsidian orbs. That picture that was in her mind made her sick to her stomach.

Naruto then spoke up, "Yes. He was in a car accident I was driving and I saw the whole thing happen. Sasuke's car was totaled and so was he, I don't even know how he got in that state."

"We noticed that while we were obsering his body there was small alchol but not enough to make him go loony. We also know that he was stressed... for now you all should go."

"No! I want to see him!" said Sakura desperately, "I need to! This entire thing is my fault!"

"Sakura. No it isn't." Temari stated looking at her worriedly. She stood and placed a hand on the pinkette's shoulder and gave a light squeeze, "Just because Sasuke out of nowhere gets in a major accident does not mean it was your fault. Do not blame yourself, Sasuke is going to be fine."

She shook her head and made a disagreeing motion, "Yes it is! Four days ago, he kissed me and I just pushed him away. I don't know what happened or why but I know. I know, that this is my fault."

Everyone was clearly surprised at the news. Sakura hugged herself as she let the tears flow freely. It seems that the nurse felt pity for her and then spoke, "Okay. Only one will get to see him.."

"I'll go." stated Sakura determinedly. Everyone agreed reluctantly for they all wanted to see him.

The nurse respected the privacy Sakura wanted and shut the door softly, barely heard. Emerald eyes filled with worry at the man that laid on the bed. It was worse than the pictures in her mind, he was paler then usual and he had bandages covering his cheek, forehead, and arms. She knew that even though his legs were sealed behind a white blanket, it was covered in white rolls of bandages also.

She held his hand that had a IV stuck into it. "Why..?" she asked herself. "Please wake up, Sasuke.." no response and she should have known that was coming. A sad smile made her way to her face tears yet again falling out of her eyes, "I'm in my pajamas for goodness sake. You know how impatient I can get.."

"You better wake up soon." she warned. Her pale hand touched his cold cheek, "I promise that I'll be here every second I can." Dragging a small plastic chair to his bed, she sat on it and just stared at his face. "Idiot." she mumbled, "Why did you go and do something so stupid?"

Exactly ten days passed and Sakura kept her promise to the man that was lying on the hospital bed. Usually, she would go to class, then home, take a shower, get dressed, grab a book and her homework, and then head out to the hospital. Here is where she is currently, sitting on a comfortable chair while doing her homework on a small wooden table.

Her friends were starting to worry about her, she hardly slept. It was obvious, her dark rings that surrounded her eyes and she would sometimes pass out for the lack of sleep. Time after time the group and sometimes Dylan would come by and greet him, and time after time she was there.

Flowers, balloons, stuffed animals filled the corner near his bed. The only sound was the beeping from a machine, writing noises, and occasionally muttering from Sakura. In her ears were white head phones as she blocked out that annoying beeping as she tried to concentrate on her work she was working on.

In her ear, the beat of The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls played in her ear. She answered three questions in her worksheet before standing and walking over to Sasuke music still playing in her ears. She enveloped her hand in his and squeezed, hoping that somehow it would awaken him. No such luck.

Sighing, she failed to sleep again. It seemed that every single moment that she tried to sleep in her own bed, away from the hospital, and away from Sasuke she wouldn't be able to get a once of sleep. A nurse had forced her out saying that Sasuke had to get a nightly check up. Usually Sakura would not even bother trying to go to sleep because she knew that she would just lie awake.

Wondering if he was okay.

If he was awake at that moment.

And if he loved her.

A month, a damn month passed and he was still in a coma. The visits became less but not for Sakura. She still held onto that promise and came every second she was free. Even Dylan only came about once every two weeks. Sakura's eyes were darker than usual and she had multiple check ups, courtesy of her worried friends, to see if something was wrong with her body.

There was nothing wrong, she was healthy beside the fact of her lack of sleep. At first the doctor had ordered her to take some sleeping pills to help her fall asleep, she did but after a while the sleeping pill wasn't helping her sleep.

She was now expecting that Sasuke would die.

Her hope was fading.

And so was her life.

Sakura was sitting tiredly at in her class listening to Tsunade rant about something. A buzz sound came from her pocket and all heads turned to her. Emerald eyes were clearly aware of all the eyes on her but she didn't care. She picked up the phone and answered not caring that Tsunade was stomping her way to her. "He's awake?!" she shouted.

Tsunade froze, because already she knew what they were talking about. Smiling slightly she told Sakura that she was excused from class and she wasted no time running out of the class.

Pulling the door open, there he was. She ran to him and hugged him while he stayed frozen and stared at her back. "Sasuke... I've been so worried. You have been in a coma for a month. What were you thinking?" she started to lecture tears already running down her face, "You almost died! God. Sasuke you're so stupid! Do you know that you could have - "

"You haven't been sleeping." he stated as he cupped her cheek, running his thumb under her eyes tracing the dark circles. Sakura pulled away and looked away obviously guilty. "Why haven't you been sleeping?" he asked.

She bit her lip, but Sakura looked straight into his eyes, "Because I was worried. I tried sleeping pills but after a while it stopped working. I couldn't sleep without knowing that you were okay." she answered truthfully. "I passed out a couple times you know, because of exhaustion.. Enough about me, how are you feeling?"

"Fine. So you stayed by my side...?" he asked quietly.

"I said enough about me didn't I? Let's just focus on you getting better.." she whispered. "You hungry? I'll go get you something to eat.. I mean who wouldn't be hungry after not eating for a month?" A grumble came from the male's stomach, "Point made." Sakura giggled as she stepped out of the room not before informing him about one thing, "Oh, by the way. I did stay by your side.."

How did he feel about that? He felt relieved that she didn't give up on him. Obsidian eyes looked around the white room he occupied and noticed that balloons were on the floor, from loss of helium while some still floated in the air. Some stuffed animals laid on the floor with many bouquets of flowers.

Cards were placed on the bedside table and he opened one up.

Dear Sasuke my love,

I really hope you do wake up soon. It already passed two weeks and I think that I can't wait any longer to see those orbs. But I will wait. I'm still waiting for your answer. Remember, you have a choice between Sakura and I. I do hope you pick me, because I love you oh so very much.

Wake up soon.

With much love,

Dylan Winterbloom.

PS: Call me when you wake up, I want to hear your voice.

Placing the card down, he read the many others waiting for Sakura to return with his meal. It was funny, he just woke up after a month and he was already being asked if he made his choice. The fact was, he already did. He just hope that Sakura wouldn't be mad at him. Sasuke searched around the room for his phone and when he did, he called Dylan's number that he memorized.

Fina -fucking- ly! I am so tired right now, and I hope you guys like the chapter. Do not worry, because the next chapter would come out probably a week or two. I only go on this computer on weekends because I'm focused on studying and what not. I know this chapter went kinda fast and I hate it.

But it adds a little spark. :)

Sasuke made his choice already?!
