Disclaimer: Naruto don't belong to me

A/N: This was inspired by The Script – for the first time. Been a while since I have written anything, I have been a bit busy. I always start writing but then I have to stop and carry on with my life. But I was determine to finish this one. Sorry if it seems a bit rushed. Enjoy.

Exhausted was the word she was looking for, the past few months has been hard and she felt like she was hanging on the edge of a thin tread. She couldn't take it anymore, with all that was happening, she had big dreams in her head, she planned for it all but somehow nothing was going as she hopes it would. It was getting to much and she felt like she might snap, have a break down.

After graduating with her degree she couldn't get a job suitable for her level of education. It was embarrassing to tell everyone back home that she was unemployed but now she had to tell them that she was working as a waitress at a small café not too far from where she was living. It felt like someone had planted a bad omen on her. Nothing was going her way, she was losing her happiness day by day replaced by stress and frustration.

Not to mention the apartment she was living in, the place wasn't the best but it was doable, they had no other choice. It was small, the walls were thin, and sometimes the electricity or water would be cut off. It wasn't anything she was accustomed to, call her what you wanted but this is not how she wanted to live.

Maybe she was being extra fussy because of the shit day she had at work and even coming home to no water again. Customers can be a pain in the ass, some were so rude and she had to smile and take it. Back home both her and her boyfriend's parents were well of, but they were both to pig-headed and prideful to admit they needed a little help, no one knows of the situation they were in. They always made it seem like everything was fine and they were just too busy to stop and chat.

She never really got to talk to her friends anymore because she didn't know how to answer their questions anymore without lying. She didn't have many friends here either, it wasn't easy to do that in a place that never stops moving. Everyone was always on the go. Then there were things that happened that made her isolate herself even more, even from her boyfriend. She wished she could cry on Ino's shoulder and tell her how she felt, the girl had always been her rock when Sasuke's comfort wasn't enough.

The miscarried that happened, only the two of them knew she was pregnant, they had decided to keep a secret for the time being, until it was the right time. That was a good thing too, no one had to know about it, their lost, the right time never came. It was hard on them both, everything was frustrating lately, and even their relationship was beginning to falter. They had always been strong, no matter what they stood with each other, but lately she felt like they were just there because they were committed. Sure they loved each other but love wasn't the only thing that made a relationship work.

But she wasn't going to give up, she couldn't see a life without him, even when they had hard times.

…

She was at home with a broken heart, he could tell how she was being affected by the month's happenings. It wasn't helping that he'd come home a bit late because he decided to go drink instead of going home to the depression, it's not that he didn't love her, he did, he always will. But it was hard on him too, he tried to talk to her but somehow they ended up yelling at each other. Especially since he had lost his job a few weeks ago, he was looking for a job but it wasn't as easy out and about in a big place like Tokyo. But he never gave up and he still stood proud.

He wanted to make it right again, he didn't even know when it had gone wrong. But he was going to find a way, they always did.

There he was standing at his regular bar, wondering if he should just go home today, he didn't have that kind of money to spend anyway. And he just felt something, something in his gut told him he was needed home.

His phone rang and he thought it was her, maybe she was tired of him coming home so late. They didn't talk about that as much anymore. It always went in circles anyways.

But when he saw the number on screen he smiled, maybe it wasn't as hopeless as he thought it was.

…

Sakura was surprised to see Sasuke walking into their small living room at such an early hour. But what surprised her, even more, was the smile on his face, the first thought was another woman, it has been so long since they had slept together, they hardly even talked anymore. The thought of him cheating on her or even leaving her made her sick and angry.

Hurt.

But she didn't say anything, when he pulled out a cheap bottle of wine from behind his back, he must have gotten from the convenient store not too far away. "Hey." His voice was soft and the look in his eyes made hers whelm up with tears. He hadn't looked at her like that in a long time.

"I know we have been going through some things, I know we haven't had a chance to breathe but let's not forget about us, yeah." He moved in closer to kiss her lips softly. "I got a call not too long ago, I got a job and it'll pay plenty, we can move out, start over, what do you think baby." Sasuke placed the bottle on the table so he can take her into his arms.

Sakura giggled, he began swaying with her to no music but she didn't care. This moment felt surreal to her, like a dream. It was unexpected but she felt happy.

This is what she needed, it wasn't the good news that brought the smile to her face. It was the Sasuke she had fallen in love with. The man she left home with, the one she promised a life with. And at that moment, it felt like the first time, the first time they had confessed their feelings and decided it was going to be the two of them against the world no matter what.

"I love you." He whispered to her, talking her along with the wine bottle and two glasses into their bedroom. It was like the first night they had moved in together.

"I missed you." She whispered back, squeezing his hand gently as he led the way.

That night was a fresh start, there were tears and laughter. Remembering the old times and fantasising about the new ones to come. That night they stayed up for hours just talking about everything. They made love again into the break of dawn and they just knew, everything was going to be alright.

Hope you enjoyed it. Leave a review if you want, I love reading what you have to say as long as it's not negative.
