Hey Guys, how is everybody? The only thing I have to say is that I am so sorry that this has taken so long. I have had major writing block, I had no idea how to start the chapter and then I had no idea how to describe some parts of it. Plus I have been so busy, I had softball finals then I had to take my son to get his needles, then he got sick, then I got sick, then I had softball masters and know the next season of softball has just started. I have been busy catching up on my anime like Naruto, Pokémon, DNA2, Vampire Knight and Eyeshield 21 and yesterday and today I have been sick so I decided that it was about time that I pulled my finger out and update!

Plus I would also like to thank everyone who has stuck with this story even when it has been ages since I last uploaded.

I know there wasn't a lot of SasuSaku in the last chapter but where will be more in the chapters to come, any way on with Chapter 6 of The Girl Next Door.

I am the head cheerleader? How the hell did that happen? I thought to myself. I moved away from the people that were crowded around the board. Ino came running over to me "Congrats Forehead!" She said as she jumped on my back. "Thanks Piggy, but I don't even know how I did that." I admitted to her. "What are you talking about you were awesome! Come on lets go get changed." Ino jumped off my back and dragged me to the change rooms. I got back into my clothes from before which were a white shirt that said cheer dark wash denim short shorts with my red vans.

We met up with everyone after we were all finished, they were talking about going to Ichiraku's to celebrate but I didn't feel like it, so I said I would pass. "Sorry guys, I have to head home I'm pretty tired from all that exercise if you know what I mean. I'll take a rain check though." I said as I waved goodbye to everyone. "Wait up." I heard a smooth voice come up behind me. I turned around and saw an onyx chicken butt hair style. "What are you doing Sasuke, aren't you going with the others to Ichiraku's?" I asked curiously. "Well I can't let a pretty girl like you walk home all alone now, can I?" I scoffed at what he had said. I looked down the street we were walking down and saw that it was almost like an abandoned street. When we normally walk down this road it has cars going rushing through it. Then I remembered that school let out early.

"So, you got the head cheerleading position I hear? Congrats." He said breaking the silence as we were walking down the unoccupied road. "Yeah I did, even though I have no idea how I got it. I wasn't even that good." I said as Sasuke looked up at me shocked. "Wait seriously, I saw you do your flippy back thingy that you did and it was so good. Much better than any of the others that was done there." Sasuke stated making me blush a little. "Thanks Sasuke you always make me feel so much better." I said smiling at him. "It turns out that I got the captain spot to." He said sticking his hands in his pockets rounding a corner onto another street. "Wow that is great Sasuke congratulations!" I smiled an even bigger smile at him. "Thanks, so it looks like you're going to have to watch all my games and cheer for me now." Just then we arrived at our houses. "I wouldn't miss them even if I wasn't a cheerleader! I would be there cheering for you anyway" I said as I gently punched his arm, I saw a very slight blush appear on his cheeks. Then we went our separate ways.

I opened the door to my house and walked up to my bed room, while I texted my mom.

To: Mom

From: Sakura

Hey guess what! I got the head cheerleader at school today. I'm so excited!

How is everything going on the trip? Hope to see you soon…

Love Sakura :)

10 minutes later

I heard my phone ringing in my pocket; I pulled it out and looked at the caller id.

"Hey mom, how are you? How is the meeting going?"

'Hi sweetie, I'm doing alright. The thing is that the meeting is running a little longer than expected and I have to stay another 3 days, so I will be back on Tuesday not Saturday.'

"Wait, what!? Don't you remember what this Thursday is?!" I was getting so angry at my mom. How is it possible for her to forget something so important?

'Oh, do you have a cheer leading game?' She said through the phone, totally oblivious to how she was making me feel on the other end.

"How could you say that? Have you really forgotten about him already?" I almost yelled at her, it was taking all I had not to.

'Huh, who have I forgotten?' My mother said as she sounded a little confused.

"It's been a year since dad died on Thursday! How could you forget about him?" I asked as little tear drops appeared in my eyes. I looked out of my window and I saw Sasuke staring at me through his window. I didn't want to deal with him yet so I shut my blinds and continued my conversation.
'I'm sorry honey but your dad would have wanted us to move on and not dwell on the past, I have moved on.'

"You have moved on? Just like that?" I was dumbfounded, how could she have really moved on

'I met someone Sakura; he makes me feel special, just like your father did. I think it's time you should move on to."

"Unlike you mom, I can't just met someone and move on. I loved dad and I will always. I just can't forget about him. I'll see you when you get home." A tear rolled down my face, I was about to hang up when I heard. 'Bye, Sakura.'

I through my phone on my bed as I lied next to it, I grabbed my pillow and hugged it, while I was thinking about what my mother had just said.

'I've moved on, you should to.' There's no way I can move on.

I heard a clinking at my window, like there was a rock or something hitting it. I got off my bed to go over to my window and pulled up the blinds. Sasuke was throwing rocks at my window. I didn't bother opening my window I really didn't want to speak to any one right now. I raised my arms in a questioning motion. He lifted his sketch book that we sometimes use for communicating 'What's wrong?' I picked up my book that was next to my nightstand. 'It's my mom, she just doesn't understand.' I said as I wiped a tear from my eye. 'Are you ok?' He wrote as he saw me wipe away my tear. 'Yeah, I'm ok.' I lied. If I didn't lie he wouldn't stop asking questions. 'You're lying.' How did he know? 'No, I'm not!'

'Then why are you crying?' He wrote waiting for me to reply. 'I kicked my toe, really I'm fine.' I replied. 'If you say so.' He shrugged and threw the notebook away. 'I'm going to bed I'm too tired.' He nodded, turned around and went away. I shut the blinds and collapsed on my bed, with tears starting to pour out of my eyes.

How could she say move on? He was my dad. I can't just move on and forget about him. She doesn't understand anything. I never got to say good bye and I never got to say I was sorry about what I said to him the last time I saw him. Tears had started to pour down my face while I thought about everything that had happened that day; Sleep eventually took hold as I fell into a black dreamless slumber.

Sasuke P.O.V

So it's now Wednesday afternoon and school had just finished, Sakura hadn't been at school since Monday and I know that is weird because she wouldn't miss school after she had just been given the head cheerleading position. It must have something to do with the phone call she got on Monday because I know she was lying to me. Something was wrong and I had to know what it was. I put my hands in my pocket watched the floor as I started to walk home. The walk home always seemed to take longer when Sakura wasn't there she made me feel happy and I missed her when she wasn't around.

I wound up standing outside of Sakura's house, I knocked on the door and waited for her to come to the door but she never came. At first I thought she didn't hear the knock so I knocked again a little louder, but still no answer. Where could she be? I decided to go and see if anyone knew where she was. I opened the door to my house and went up to my room, I flipped open my laptop and clicked on the I.M icon.

Ramenluver: Hey Sasuke

: Hey, have you seen Sakura today?

Ramenluver: No. Sorry last time I seen her was on Monday, why?

: Cause last time I saw her she was upset and I haven't seen her since then.

InoFlowers has logged on

: Hey Ino, have you seen Sakura?

InoFlowers: Funny you say that, because I was just going to ask if any of you knew why her car was parked on the side of the road on Sage Street. I watched her for a few minutes then she got back in her car and drove away.

: I gotta go.

I shut my laptop and got changed into a grey wife beater, a pair of footy shorts and a pair of thongs. I picked up my car keys and left my room. I walked down the stairs and into the garage. I got into my black Audi and pressed the button on the keys for the automatic sliding garage door. I started the car and waited for it to left all the way. I drove out of the driveway and pressed the button and the garage shut. I pulled out of the drive way and headed for Sage Street. I wasn't that far but I didn't know why Sakura would be on there on the side of the road.

I turned onto Sage Street and stopped at the lights while I waited for the lights to turn green. When the lights changed, I pulled over, got out and locked my car. A flash of colour caught my eye; I turned towards it and saw a big bunch of flowers. Was this what Sakura was doing here? I walked a bit closer to the flowers and saw that there was a plaque embedded in the ground. I brushed some of the dirt off so I could see what it says.

I certainly didn't expect to see what I saw written on the plaque. It read:

Dedicated to Kiseki Haruno

Loved husband of Arisa, father of Sakura and friend of many
