Sakura would have invited Sasuke inside the house, but the disgusted look on the man's face told her he would have insulted the inside of her house too. "So what are you doing here Sasuke?"

"Obviously I was looking for you" The black haired man scoffed. Sakura frowned "You um, you could have called"

"Naruko, Ino, almost all of our friends deleted you from their contacts. That little stunt you pulled at the wedding was the finale straw for us" Sasuke told her.

The pink haired woman sucked in a breath. "Listen Sasuke, I know you'll find this hard to believe but after it went down I never felt more worse in my life" she said. "I regretted it so much, I hated myself for what I do and if I could go back in time to stop me from ruining yours and Naruko's special day, I would"

"I don't give a fuck about that" Sasuke spat

"What do you want from me?!"

Sasuke glared at her so icily that it made her shiver and subconsciously rubbed her arms. The black haired man leaned against a street lamp.

"Naruko knows I'm here" he told her. "But she doesn't know the real reason, she thinks I'm here for a business meeting with an important CEO client who wants to collab with us"

"You lied to your girlfriend?"

"Wife " Sasuke corrected icily. "No thanks to you, Haruno"

Sakura gulped and unconsciously started tracing some of the scars on her neck. "Umm, I guess I deserve that"

"You deserve more!" Sasuke yelled. "The stupidity you did, not only spoiled our special day but we almost broke up thanks to you!"

Sakura flinched at the raw pain in his voice.

"Have you ever been humiliated? Maybe someone asked you out only to ditch you after"

"I--yes actually" Sakura softly said. "Many times before"

Sasuke laughed coldly. "Well being abandoned at the altar is a hundred times worse" he clenched his hands into a fist as he recalled that memory. "The night before the wedding, Naruko and I had a fight, I don't remember much but I remember it was something simple... And petty"

The Uchiha looked to the side, messing up his black hair. "She and I were already stressed from the preparations, and our parents meddling in the seating arrangements, certain relatives didn't wan to sit next to each other and that. Naruko let herself get tugged around by our parents' suggestions while I thought that it was our ceremony, not theirs, so what we say goes"

"And then?" Sakura asked.

"Me and Naruko slept without resolving anything. I was feeling petty and slept in the guest room, then the next day my brother called asking me to pick him up from the company. I left a note to Naruko that I love her and can't wait to see her in her gown.... I still hadn't apologized by then"

"Oh" was all Sakura could bring out, feeling shittier by the second

"I tried calling Naruko but she never answered, I texted her but got no replies, I figured she was just busy getting ready,  then hours passed by, and still no Naruko" Sasuke glared at her again. "So imagine how I felt standing there, waiting for my bride to show up, do you have any idea how I felt?!"

"I'm so-"

"I was was seconds to having a full break down, to make matters worse I was vulnerable in front of every body I knew, they looked at me with pity and worry... some though looked smug and relieved, because they knew that Naruko is too nice of a girl to be stuck married to me, she was too good, and she finally realized she could do better"

Fed up with reliving his hated memory, Sasuke started pacing in front of the pinkette. He was useless with feelings without a coffee in hand or Naruko by his side.

"They all tried calling Naruko and you, some thought something had happened but I thought differently. Naru got cold feet, and that argument we had was her proof that we didn't belong together. Naruko couldn't bring herself to call the whole thing off so she asked your help to get her away"

Sakura thought that line of reasoning was irrational but then again, who was she to talk?

"So, after being embarrassed and causing a scene by screaming like a maniac, I decided I had to get away. Kakashi tagged along to keep me company, Itachi wanted to go too but he stayed behind out of... I don't know, instinct? Brotherly intuition? Whatever it is, he knew he needed to stay behind and wait"

Sakura gulped, remembering the murderous glare Itachi had sent her. As well as the death threats from anonymous emails she kept receiving for two weeks after the incident.

"I know it means nothing Sasuke, but I do feel terrible for what I-"

"I'M NOT DONE! SHUT UP" Sasuke screamed. Sakura's hands flew to her mouth. "Good, I never liked hearing your voice for too long anyway"

Tears were gathering in Sakura's eyes but she hurriedly wiped them away. "S-sorry" she whispered.

"Anyway, I spent twelve days in Hawaii with my phone turned off and feeling shitty, Kakashi did the same. He knew I didn't want to be bothered by anyone, and when we came back to Konoha and I re-charged my phone, I got bombarded by two hundred and fifty seven messages and missed calls from family and friends"

He stopped pacing

"It was then that I found out that none if was Naru's doing, that everything was on you and that Naruko needed me ASAP" he enjoyed the look of shame and guilt on her. "Good, suffer" he thought

"I went to my an Naruko's apartment and found her on the floor in the living room, hugging our engagement picture, crying and wearing her wedding gown"

"Oh, Naruko" Sakura actively started crying now, her heart couldn't take all the self loathing and guilt. She imagined Naruko sobbing in the dark while still wearing her ruined wedding gown as she cries for Sasuke to come back. "I'm the worst"

"You have no idea how badly I wanted to murder you for that" Sasuke remembered the night he found Naruko. He hated himself for abandoning Naruko without hearing her side of the story. He should have let her explain

"I-I'm sorry" Sakura sobbed.

Sasuke bit the inside of his lip, lowering his head so his bangs would cover his eyes. He didn't want Sakura to see him crying, knowing how much this still affects him. "If... If there's anything I can do-"

"There is" Sasuke was quick to say. "But you're gonna have to do as I say"

Sakura nodded.

"Naruko and I are going to renew our wedding vows in two weeks... pack up Haruno, you're going back to Konoha"
