A:N/ Hi everybody! Sorry that I didn't do this sooner, but we had this really bad thunder storm with lightning and stuff. It caused our internet not to work anymore. (Dial up) After my dad went out to get it fixed he brought it back and then our whole computer wasn't working. Lucky for me my mom went out and bought a laptop because her own work one had also broken down. So here I am typing up the next chapter for "CRUSHES BETWEEN FRIENDS." Enjoy!!

Crushes Between Friends

Chapter 19 – Give You MY Heart

'I loved having her in my arms. I could tell she loved being in mine. But she doesn't know who I am. What if she says no though? It'll never be the same…'

SAKURA'S DREAM:

Sakura stood leaning on the bar of a school railing. She was waiting for Sasuke to come out and take her home. When he stepped out from the school, he looked awkward. To some extent it almost seemed as though he was about to puke. When he approached her he didn't look directly at her.

"Sasuke is something wrong?" she asked.

"I-I have to tell you something." He said looking up at her. His face was red, yet looked a little pale.

"Sasuke, you don't look too well. Maybe you're sick."

Sasuke didn't respond to that.

"I. Sakura, I'm." he stopped.

Sakura looked at him in worry. She grabbed his hands which were cold against hers.

"Is everything all right?" Sakura asked

He looked her straight in the eyes.

"Sakura, I'm the secret admirer."

Sakura's hands went limp. Her hands started slipping out of his and Sasuke's bodily figure started slipping away into nothingness.

Sakura awoke to the sound of a scratching noise on her window. She threw the covers off of her and saw a small tabby kitten sitting outside her window in the rain.

"Poor thing."



Sakura opened the window. The kitten quickly climbed into Sakura's room. She grabbed a spare blanket that was lying on her floor. She wrapped it around the shivering kitten and rubbed it dry. She carried the bundle of kitten back to her bed where she laid in thought.

'What was that dream about? I can't remember a thing.'

The next morning when Sakura awoke the kitten was still fast asleep in her arms. Sakura got up and put on a loose fitting shirt with black sweats, not caring at all this morning what she was wearing. She brushed her hair and teeth then went down stairs. Before leaving for school Sakura left out some torn up bread and milk mixed with water out for the kitten. When Sakura left the house Sasuke was already waiting for her in the driveway. They drove to school as usual. The day wasn't anything new. Sakura attended all her classes, received homework, took a few tests, and talked to her friends. No changes.

Sasuke's day was way different though. He couldn't stop thinking about the dance. Questions were constantly running threw his head. He couldn't stop thinking about her. When to tell her.

Everything was pretty much normal, excluding Sasuke's dilemmas, until after school.

Sasuke had told Sakura that he was going to be a little late because he needed to talk to a teacher after school. Sakura said she'd wait for him by the entrance. People left the school and she was still standing there against the railing. For some reason this felt oddly familiar to Sakura.

Finally Sasuke came walking out of the school looking quite pale. He walked up to her but didn't make direct eye contact.

"Hi Sasuke!" Sakura greeted. "You ready to go?"

Sasuke didn't reply, just walked up to her.

"Um, Sasuke? Hello, did you hear me?"

Sasuke looked up at her. His face was definitely pale, but he was blushing, was that even possible?

"Sakura I need to tell you something."

Sakura stopped smiling. This was really strange. Déjà vu strange. Why was this so familiar, could it do with her dream she had last night?

"What is it Sasuke?" she asked with sincerity in her voice.

"Sakura, I know who your secret admirer is." Sasuke seriously said.

Sakura's smile returned, yet there was still uneasiness.

"Really?! Who? Who is it Sasuke?"



Sasuke looked into Sakura's jade green eyes. The eyes that made his heart beat so fast that he couldn't bear it.

"It's me." he said, trying to keep eye contact with her.

Sakura felt her breath leave her. It was Sasuke?

"You're…"

"Yeah."

It hurt Sasuke that he could hear the disappointment in her voice when he told her.

Sakura didn't know what to say. She was shocked by this. The past things that had happened to them, well, she didn't really think much of them. She didn't want to. It would be too weird if her and Sasuke were to get together.

"Sakura, are you…okay?" he asked.

Sakura looked down at the ground.

"I, I have to go."

Sakura ran away from Sasuke, leaving him standing by the railing by himself, heartbroken.

A:N/ Sorry about the shortness of this chapter. I combined two together, well sort of. If I hadn't done it this way then there would have been two really really short chapters! Don't want that now do we. Well yeah.
