SasuSaku: Our Musical Love

Friday Part Four

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

"Sakura-chan are you alright?" I mimicked, "You don't actually care so why bother to even ask?!" My face was full of tears and my hands were forming fists on my chest, "Sakura-chan-" He whispered, looking down on me with eyes full of fake despair.

I gently punched his chest where his heart was, "What's in there, huh?! Think about those around you! Think about how much your words affect me! Think about... how much pain they can cause me," I whimpered, returning my hands to my heart and running out the class.

My tears were slipping off my face, glistening in the lights in the hall. Sasuke is so inconsiderate! Calling me a slut! I can be with who I want when I want can't I?! I wasn't even going to date Kiba! My footsteps echoed through the empty halls.

Empty. Like my heart right now. I feel as if everyone is against me! Even Sasuke! People began to flood the hall from every side, barging past one another but I carried on my path. "Hey look at that ugly beast," A girl whispered, then started giggling with her friend.

I lowered my head even further and glared at her through the strands of my hair. "Pft wild hog," She shivered stiffly walking away. Why does everyone hate me? I slumped my shoulders and began to run, through the front doors and through the gates as they shut.

Glancing back, I saw Sasuke, staring out the window. My eyes were filled with even more tears as I gazed into his eyes. I bit my lip and turned away, running towards my house. Towards safety. Mum and dad were both staying at a hotel right now so I won't get in trouble.

Why are they staying at a hotel? I have no idea but they trust me enough not to throw a party or anything which I won't since I wouldn't be bothered. Plus, I have too much on my mind right now. I barged through the door and flew up the stairs to my bed, staring at the clouds pass by.

My eyes darted away and mistakenly caught sight of a picture frame with Sasuke and I in it. I strolled over to it and picked it up slowly, staring into Sasuke's eyes and his subtle smile. Before I knew it, tears were dripping onto the frame.

I wiped a finger gently across my tears but when I touched Sasuke's face, I gasped and even more tears came out along with a sharp thud in my chest. The frame fell from my hand and onto the floor where it smashed into a thousand shards.

"Oh!" I gasped realizing what just happened, I ran to the kitchen to get gloves to pick up the glass when I saw a note on the table. 'We're going to be gone for a week or two, we'll bring you a surprise when we come back so don't be sad okay dear? Love Mum and Dad xxx'

I frowned, slipping on a pair of gloves and running back up the stairs. I knelt down and began picking up shards one by one. I saw the picture on the floor and I picked it up to put it on my desk. I walked over and saw a piece of paper behind it.

Unfolding the paper, I immediately recognized it as the song I wrote for Sasuke years ago when I fell in love with him accidentally. He'd picked it up yesterday when he came over, I hope he didn't read it since it's so embarrassing.

As I read through the lyrics, I thought of Sasuke the whole way through. Do I... still love Sasuke? He won't leave my head no matter what I do. I glared at the paper as it flapped back at me, urging me to sing it. "Won't... hurt to sing it... right?" I muttered to myself.

Slowly, I traveled across the room and picked up a guitar. I looked behind the sheet and saw musical notes. I took a long deep breath before strumming the guitar. Naturally, I shut my eyes since it was easier like that.

I'd usually just give up by now,
I'd surrender up my heart and stand still while you threw your darts,
But it's different this time
'Cause I've never felt this way before,
And every time I look in your eyes,
I want to know more,
So tell me,

Do you think about me like I think about you all the time?
'Cause that would be alright,
Do you think about what it will be like if I was by your side?
'Cause that's always on my mind,
Do you watch me from a distance to make sure I'm not with some other guy?
'Cause I wouldn't mind,

I always tend to wonder if things would be much better if we were together,
How lucky would I be to call you mine?
I just hope you wouldn't mind,
And people tell me they can see it,
That we would just be perfect,
But,
Everybody notices but you,
So tell me,

Do you think about me like I think about you all the time?
'Cause that would be alright,

Do you think about what it would be like if I was by your side?
'Cause that's always on my mind,
Do you watch me from a distance,
To make sure I'm not with some other guy,
'Cause I wouldn't mind,

And sometimes this feels wrong
Like my feelings shouldn't be this strong,
And it hasn't even been that long,
That's why I wrote you this song,
So you could tell me,

Do you think about me like I think about you all the time?
'Cause that would be alright
Do you think about what it will be like I was by your side?
'Cause that's always on my mind,
Do you watch me from a distance,

To make sure I'm with some other guy?
'Cause I wouldn't mind!

I wouldn't mind...

I sighed and let some tears slip from my eyes as I dropped my guitar to the floor and collapsed to my bed. I clung to my pillow and began to wail. Why did I fall for Sasuke again? Why am I so stupid?! I doubt Sasuke even thinks of me as a friend now so what's the point?!

Then again... it's not like I even had a chance before either,

"I love you Sasuke-kun..." I whispered to nobody, hoping it'll make me feel better which it didn't. The door to my bedroom opened slightly and I slapped my tears off and ran to fling open the door only to see a small stack of papers.

They appeared to be school work. I guess that means whoever dropped these off heard me singing. Wait a second... If these are from school... a student would have to give them to me. And nobody know where I live other than...

Sasuke.
