*Third Person's POV*

It's been few weeks from Ino's birthday. Naruto was getting ready for his big birthday party. Sasuke was being oblivious and Sakura was getting more and more annoyed. Her manager was calling her almost everyday. Her parents were rooting for her to sing im her big concert that was going to be in Konoha next week.

Of course she loved singing but can't her manager understand that she's a teenage girl and needs to live with her life?! Her past concert was literally one month ago. Travelling for concerts was one of the reason why she had lack of friends.

Today was the day when she was going to meet Dahlia Geller an american woman, her assistant. Even if sometimes she was annoying Sakura still loved her. She was a good friend for her. Dahlia was 24 years old, pretty young so she and Sakura got along easily.

"Are you leaving, Sakura-chan?" Her maid Nyssa asked her.

"Yeah, but I'll be home for dinner. Can you make me some anmitsu?" Sakura asked with cute puppy eyes.

"Sure! I'll go start preparing." Nyssa smiled sweetly and left to the kitchen.

After long drive to the cafe she found Dahlia. They had their reunion and decided to talk about main business.

"So, you will perform next week right?" Dahlia asked whilst drinking coffee.

Sakura looked at her blonde haired manager and gave her questioning look. "Do I have a choice? You were the one bugging me that I should sing next week."

"True, but that was because fans wanted live concert in Konoha since they heard you were here. I'm not gonna force you to sing of course."

"You're so confusing. Of course I'll sing, but only this time. I want some break from live concerts and travellings. I'll still release new songs but without clips. I want to have normal life in here, until it will be right time to continue my tours and singing career along with my job." The pinkette answered and took bite of her croissant.

"Alright then. I'll go and get everything ready for you concert. You have a song right?"

"Yeap. Pretty good one. I want to prove something." She said with a smirk. Dahlia just chuckled lightly. They bid their goodbyes and went on their separate ways.

After having dinner Sakura went to her room and started practicing her song on the piano. That brought some unwanted memories.

She remembered how she and Sasori used to play together on the piano. Practice, even sing duet and release an album. That album is now her least favourite one, although most of the people loved those songs. Suddenly, tears started streaming down from her eyes. Her heart was shattered and still couldn't manage to heal. Only few months have passed since their break up.

''No. You can't continue like this Sakura. He left you. He broke you. It's time for you to move on. Stop crying over that jerk. He's not worth your tears.'' she told herself. Sakura close the piano and got up. She changed her clothes and went outside.

"I'm going for a walk!" She yelled and went out. Although she didn't know where she was going.

After few walks near park she decided to go near cherry blossom tree, her favourite place in whole Konoha. Pinkette has so many memories, the list for longer than whole Naruto series.

"Sakura?" She heard familiar voice. When she looked behind she saw Sasuke holding bags full of tomatoes and other vegetables.

"Sasuke?" One thing Sakura couldn't imagine was Sasuke standing in front of her at that exact moment. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. Her cheeks were red from cold and she could feel her hands getting colder and colder.

"I was buying vegetables in the market when I saw you standing here. You?" Ravenette started walking closer to her.

"Um, I just wanted to go for a walk. I'll be going back soon since it's so cold outside." She said and glanced at him for response. After few second of not getting answer she decided to go back home.

"W-wait!" He called. "Uh, would you like to come with me? My mom's making dinner and she would love to see you." He said with a blush which he tried to hide. He didn't know why he asked her this but deep inside he was glad that he did it.

"Um...sure, if it's okay with you." She answered with a smile. Sasuke half-smiled and they both went at Uchiha manor.

"Oh my god! Sasu-cakes you brought Sakura-chan!" Mikoto squealed and hugged Sakura.

"Hello, Mikoto-san." Sakura said with a sweet smile.

"Please, you can call me mom! You're going to be part of our family, right Sasuke?" With this, both, Sakura and Sasuke blushed 30 shades of red.

"M-mother!" Mikoto just laughed and took Sasuke's and Sakura's coats.

After long and cheery dinner with Uchihas, Sakura got back home, she changed into her PJ's and laid on the bed. Flashback of her and Sasuke's meeting popped in her mind. Then she remembered something. The guy that she bumped on her first day when she was on her way at Ino's was Sasuke!

'Took you long enough to realise.' Her inner spoke.

'Oh shut up.'

When she cleared her mind from thinking about Sasuke she came to a conclusion. She would move on from Sasori, she would enjoy her life as a single teenager and she would prove on her concert that she can survive the break up, even if Sasori was part of her best memories. She will make best memories without him, with her family and friends...
