I am so excited for this story. I hope you guys enjoy my new chapter!

Thanks to GarraHinataWake for reviewing my story and being the whole reason I began writing again anyway.

Here it goes!

GAARA'S POV

I sat in our old room - I guess it was just mine now - and listened to Bruno Mars' voice play through the speakers on my radio, his soft voice and piano creating a swirl of sounds around me. He was singing exactly how I felt - horrified because his woman left him. I began softly, my voice barely a whisper as tears slipped from my eyes, singing in tune with Bruno,

"Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize that I should have bought you flowers and held your hand; should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance; take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man."

The tears flowed more freely now that I stood up and watched out the window. My world was crashing down and Bruno was like the elevator music in the background.

I didn't know if she was going to come back, nor if she was going to continue talking with me, but I knew one thing; Hinata Hyuga was my whole life, and Naruto Uzumaki was not going to take her away from me. I wiped my cheeks slowly, walking into the kitchen and grabbing myself the ingredients to make pancakes.

Three hours and a dozen pancakes later, I was standing outside Hyuga Neji's house, a box full of chocolate and a bouquet of flowers in my sweaty hands.

HINATA'S POV.

"Hinata, are you sure he's even worth crying over…?" TenTen asked me, rubbing my back gently. She was just trying to help, but I wish she wouldn't.

"He is, TenTen. He was my whole world, and now…." I sighed, wiping my cheeks for the third time. I stood up, taking my things into my room, where I turned the radio on. Bruno Mars was playing, but I quickly changed it, settling for a talk show.

"Now, Kakashi, tell us what is coming up next month, if you would."

"Well, of course! We have many things coming up next month. As everyone knows, Temari and Kankuro are coming to spend time with their brother, Gaara who lives just south of the main gates. Also, there is a talent company coming to our town looking for The Next Big Thing!"

"That sounds great, Kakashi! Thanks for telling us. Now, has anyone realized how apples and peaches look similar?" I quickly turned off the radio, yelling for TenTen.

NEJI'S POV.

Hinata was in tears, and Gaara was probably out doing nothing. Figures he wouldn't try to fix the mess he got himself into.

"Master Neji, someone is here to see you and your cousin."

"Let him in, Lee. And stop calling me 'Master'. It's getting old."

Lee bowed, nodding his head. "Of course, my apologies."

"Neji, I need to speak with my - with Hinata." Gaara's rough voice spoke softly, but paused as he waited for my permission.

"Why should I let you? You broke her heart and ruined her life. She came here, and didn't make it in the door before she began crying her poor heart out." I stood up, looking him in the eyes. His forehead had beads of sweat on it, and his eyes were red. I didn't want to believe that he had been crying, but he couldn't have been smoking.

"Go see her." TenTen spoke quietly, wrapping her arm around my shoulders.

"You have ten minutes to talk to her, Gaara. And she better not cry."

I watched Gaara slowly follow Lee to Hinata's room, and I prayed he wouldn't hurt her more than she already had been.

HINATA'S POV.

I laid in bed, holding onto the stuffed bear Gaara gave me on our first date. It surprisingly still held the smell of cotton candy and Gaara's always-faint cologne. I inhaled deeply, waiting for the tears to come again. When they never did, I stood up, looking out my window.

"Hinata?" I heard the door creak open as Lee spoke softly, "Someone is here to see you."

"Let them in." My voice cracked, although it was already a whisper at first.

I heard the person move past Lee, pressing the door shut so Lee couldn't listen in. I didn't want to turn around, so I stood there, waiting for them to speak. Feet shuffled around, before I felt arms press around my stomach, "I brought you flowers, and chocolates, to say I'm sorry." Garra mumbled against my shoulder.

"Gaara, there is no easy way to fix this…" I couldn't make my voice stay steady or sound strong, it continued to crack and get hoarse.

"We won't know unless we try. Please Hinata, we have to try to fix this. It isn't in pieces."

"Alright, I'll try. But I don't know how long I can try, Gaara." He slowly spun me so I was facing him, and he had tears rolling across his cheeks.

"We'll make this work, I know we will." And with that, he pressed his lips against mine.
