A/N: Ok so to the mysterious guest reviewer. There is a purpose behind Sakura's actions I swear. That will not be revealed until next chapter... or the one after that. Still in the works. To SMILE I updated! LOL. I'm sorry if this fic distracts me but I love it right now. Sadly it's almost over. This is a very short story. Also, NO ONE asked why Naruto stabbed Sasuke in the back by taking his girlfriend!? xD I see double standards amongst the community. . 3 Anyway back to the story.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

The young raven was hurt badly but deep in his mind he knew he would heal eventually. He doubted that he could ever forgive Naruto for what he had done. His friends came to check on him right after the fight. He looked upset but he assured them over and over again that he would make it.

This seemed like a lie. The once stoic and proud Uchiha slumped in his chair some days doing nothing. He would forget to lock his front door. He would curl in on himself and look as if he was trying to hold himself together. Shikamaru and Neji checked on Sasuke without letting him know they were right there. Sai would check in on some days as well.

Something seemed so wrong though. Sasuke was a strong boy yet he was so hurt by this. Naruto had been a loyal friend their entire lives so why did he choose now to betray one of them? Nothing made sense but they couldn't dwell on this matter too long. Sasuke was still in need of them.

A few days had passed and Sasuke didn't see the new happy couple together. He saw the blonde once as he ventured out to get groceries. Naruto immediately left the store with guilt and what looked like regret on his face. Sasuke didn't care if Naruto was no longer ok with his decision. The damage was done and he would now live with it.

Sasuke had started walking outside just to get away and clear his head. He needed time away from that place and his now over protective friends. The heat of Konoha's summer sun was pleasant for once. Alone and away from that place he did in fact feel better. Even though what he found out about Sakura and Naruto had hurt him it did leave him with a resolution. He had most of the answers he wanted. That healed the pain of the break up but not the pain of betrayal. That wound was still fresh and would take many years to heal.

Walking around the park would surely clear the young raven's head.

*~KusanagiSwordsWoman~*

The park was a peaceful place. Yes it was a place I had been to with both of them but it held other memories as well. Memories of my mother, father, and brother who were now gone. Happy memories that would temporarily calm the fire in me.

The children smiling and running. The birds chirping their songs. The sound of people having a good time. It was what I needed to calm down and think.

Was I really going to let a girl get in between the friendship I shared with Naruto? She was too close to both of us. I don't think I can be near him if she is there. I don't trust myself to be around him. Because I think... I think I would only end up hating him more.

"So this is where paths will split my friend." I muttered to no one.

The fire was still there but I didn't want to fuel it. I would only get into trouble and feel more pain.

"The sky looks great to day Naruto." I heard someone say ahead of me. "You always know how to make me smile."
"I figured you'd want to come to the park." I heard him say to her. "You loved this place."

"I still do."

Looking ahead of me I saw them. They were holding hands, their fingers tangled into each other. No. No. No. I felt the anger boiling in me again.

"I'm glad that I can do this without him." She told Naruto.

"And who exactly is this him you speak of?" He asked.

You know exactly who she's talking about you bastard I thought to myself. I was doing fucking fine without her. I was healing. Why? Why was the world so hell bent on sending me into a rage!? Why did I have to be here with them!?

I quickly left. I sprinted home. I know they both turned when they heard me running. I wasn't going to see them. No.I wasn't going to look at him. I was hurt. I was sad. I was angry. I wanted to scream. I wanted destroy. I wanted to cry.

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me back home. I wanted to be within the safety of my home. I didn't want to be outside where all my memories would be tainted by them. Back through the alleys. I could see her. I could see myself. Holding hands, laughing and smiling as we walked. I saw her being pressed against a wall as I kissed her. I saw her hands wandering all over my torso. NO!

Faster and faster I ran until I finally made it to the apartment building and climbed up four flights of stairs to the floor where my home was. I quickly opened the door and slammed it shut. I could hear the echo it created in the hallway but had no care.

I was breathless. Sweat was coming out of every pore in my body. I needed a shower.

The warm water felt great as it splashed all over my body. I quickly washed my hair and body. I didn't want to stay in the shower too long. Too many emotions were flooding my system to allow me to relax one bit.

Drying off and getting into comfortable clothes I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My same stoic expression was showing. Only my eyes in this very moment gave away the turmoil that was in my mind and heart.

"I was wrong." I told my reflection. "I'm nothing without you Sakura! Dammit let me go back to that day! Let me take it all back!"

I punched the mirror as hard as I could. I didn't expect the mirror to break and was shocked when it cracked. I felt my hand get cut up a bit. I felt the tears pouring from my eyes. No one was here. I let them fall and went back to that day...

"So we breaking up?." I asked her.

"Yeah." She told me.

There a long silence.

"I'm sorry for leading you on Sasuke." She told me. "If it makes things easier then forget about me. I understand if you don't want to be friends with me. After this. Pretend we never met. If it helps you it's fine."
"You cheated on me." I stated.

"Yeah."

"You expect me to just forget that and act like it never happened?" I asked her. "You think erasing yourself from my memories will make it easier."

"Well I figured..."

"You're not even apologizing for the right thing." I told her. "I loved you. I gave you everything I could and so much more because you meant that much to me. And then you sleep around with god knows who."

"Look even if we bump into each other let's just.."

"Don't worry." I told her coldly. "I'll be fine without you. I don't need to get hung up over some whore who was just wanted to use my dick as a her personal dildo."

Her breath hitched.
"We're not going to be friends." I told her. "We're not going to be anything."

That's not what I wanted to say dammit.

"You and your little boy toy can go fuck off for all I care." I told her, pinning her against a wall. "I'll just move on and be just fine. Because in the end. I don't fucking need you."

No. Grab her you moron. Tell her how much it really hurts. Ask who the other guy is so you can punch his lights out. She belongs with you. Not him.

"Fine." She told me. "Then from this day forward I will not know who Sasuke Uchiha EVER was!"

"GOOD!" I yelled back at her. "The last thing I need is for you to come back to me just for another round in my bed."
There was hurt in her eyes and it tugged on my heart strings.

Grab her. Tell her she means the world to you!

"Goodbye." Was the last thing she said to me before leaving. There was pain in her voice..

I yelled in agony. Why did I have to try and hurt her!? Why didn't I tell her how much I loved her!? She was hurting in that moment! Why!? Why didn't I say sorry!? Why didn't I try and comfort her!? Why couldn't I relieve her of that pain!? Why!? WHY!?

Why did Naruto have to interfere? The emotions in me were switching. The sadness I felt was being replaced by anger. I got out of the bathroom and grabbed the closest chair and just destroyed it on the floor. Memories invaded my mind.

In the small creek in the park we would hop along the large rocks. She would always need my help to balance on top of the rocks.

I don't care if this gets me kicked out. I just want to destroy something. I grabbed the books on the small bookshelf I had and threw them across the room. Those memories of the time I spent only fueled my rage now.

A double date to the amusement park. Sakura and I were accompanied by Naruto and Hinata. We were all having fun goofing off.

"Why woudl you do this to me you bastard!?" I yelled at the empty room.

I saw a plant that he had given me, I grabbed small lamp and threw it at the little shit. The lamp and pot broke on impact and crashed to the floor.

Sakura and I were always hand in hand at school. There was a secret little spot we had where we sometimes ate lunch away from the others. And she sit comfortable in between my legs and lean back against me.

The small table that I had some dishes on. I flipped it over. The plates and cups broke. The silverware clanged as it hit the floor.

We were alone in the park. Recording happy memories. She smiled so much. She looked paler but happier.

I threw the telephone at the wall.

"Sasuke!?" I heard Sai say through the door.

"FUCK OFF!" I snapped at the closed door and grabbed the pillow and used it like a bat.

I hit everything I could with it before i heard my door opening. I saw all three of them in the doorway. I threw the pillow at them. My anger subsided for now. I let them push me into a chair and hold me down.

I cried in front of them. And they said nothing. They closed the door and watched as I cried my eyes out in front of them. It all hurt so much. The anger, the sadness, the betrayal, and all of the pain.

I felt Sai awkwardly hug me. If I hadn't been so devastated I would have pushed him off.

"You were doing so well." Sai said as he held me in that awkward embrace. "I thought you were going to be ok. It looked like you were healing."
"Why the sudden rampage?" Shikamaru asked me.

"What triggered it?" Neji asked.

I told them what I saw and heard in the park. Sai let me go and studied my face before looking angry. Neji and Shikamaru didn't look happy either.

"Sasuke why don't we go out?" Sai asked out of the blue. "All of us. It can be a guy's night out."

I had stopped crying by now. I had regained my composer and tried to act like I didn't just cry a fucking ocean in front of them.

"When and where?" I asked.

"We can go to the mall." Shikamaru stated. "Get away from this area for a while."
"Whatever we do it'll be my treat ok." Neji said. "You might need to save for some repair bills."

I smiled a weak smile. At least they were still my friends. How fucked up would I be if I didn't have them here?

"We can all go tomorrow." Sai said with a smile. "Gives us all time to prepare."

"Sounds like a plan." Neji said as Shikamaru nodded his agreement.

I nodded as well.

"Will you be ok by yourself?" Sai asked me.

"Yeah." I told him.

*~KusanagiSwordsWoman~*

As Promised the boys went to the mall the next day on the other side of town. They went to the arcade and played various games and each laughed with joy. Even Sasuke forgot his pain as they competed in one versus one fighting games. They ate at the food court and laughed and ate till they were full.

They wondered around the mall until they saw the lazer tag center and all rushed in. Forming into teams of two they went in and enjoyed their time until the mall began to close.

All four of them wore smiles as they walked back to Sai's car. True to his word Neji paid for every little thing including the gas needed to get to the mall and back home.

In the parking lot they continued to laugh and poke fun at each other. You wouldn't have guessed that the young raven was in such turmoil by the smile he wore on his face. He looked genuinely happy. If time could freeze right now he wouldn't care. If some mysterious force of nature decided it wanted to strike him down then and there he would have been fine with that.

"You sure you don't want us to pay you back Neji?" Sasuke asked. "I understand why you're doing this and all but come on... That was a lot of money."

"I'm sure." He told his friend. "If you really want to pay me back then just owe me a favor Sasuke. I can be happy with that."

Unfortunately the world really didn't seem to like poor Sasuke Uchiha much because he was soon about to see something that would get him angry all over again.
