Be With Me

Chapter 38 -I'm Sorry/ I Can't

Ino P.O.V

'It's been two weeks since i spoken to anyone. Sakura and Sasuke broken up. I haven't really been speaking to her lately since she told me. She's been distance with me, and I guess with everyone too. And speaking of break up, it seems like that's where Shikamaru and I are heading towards. We hardly even speak. He'll visit me one day out of the week than wont talk or message me for a whole week till the next time we see each other. Ever since he got a gig in performing his music, he's been to busy to see or say hello. Sometimes I wonder if I should even waist my time being with him'. Ino touched the gold necklace he got her for Christmas. She sat on her bed with homework sheets scatter around her bed. She looked outside her window as rain hit hard against her window.

'Mom and Dad argue about whether to pay for Deidara to be release out from jail for partnering up with Kabuto. I still can't believe that he tricked me... My own brother... Betrayed me... I don't have anyone...' Ino lay down and looked through her cellphone. She started looking through photos she took with Shikamaru. Moments from their first kiss, their first date, and even their sex couple pictures they took.

(Flashback of one of their sex moments)

The room was dark as the couple lay in bed together. The bed sheet was hang on to him as it was inches away from falling from his body. Their bodies in sync with each other. It felt as if they were one. His hips pushing more into hers. Nothing else mattered in that moment but their love. Their bodies continuing to show passion towards each other. "S-S-Shika!" Her legs were wrapped around his hips as he continued. She kept moaning as he was at her peek. Her left arm was covering her eyes as she could feel him break her walls. Shikamaru stop an looked at her. He saw that she was tearing hard. He removed himself from her and lay next to her, holding her closed.

"Are you ok sweety?" He gently tried to remove her hand from her face. "Y-yea... I'm sorry..." She whipped away her tears and put on a fake smile. He didn't buy it. "Why didn't you tell me I was going to rough?" He brushed her blond long hair away from her face. Her ocean blue eyes looked at him. "Because I didn't want to fail you..." He held her close as he kisses her head. "You never fail me".

(End of flashback)

She got up and stretched as he headed down to her kitchen. Their wasn't anyone home. Her parents were at work and Deidara was in jail. She walked in the kitchen as the memories of their first time played over and over again. Tears fell down as she walk back towards the living room laying on the sofa sad. "Shika..."

(Next Day)
.
The sun shine through her purple and black curtains. Ino slept underneath her cheetah print quilt as she was cold. Her cellphone rings loud with the song "can't remember to forget you" by Shakira played loud. She grabbed her phone and answered. "Hello?" "Ino, open up its cold outside!" Sakura whinnied. "Alright". She hung up and got out of bed. With just a light yellow tank top and flora lace panties on her went down and opened. Sakura blushed and rushed in and closed the door. "Ino! I can see everything!" Sakura looked away. "Yea yea..." Ino walked to the kitchen to grab breakfast. "Ino, are just now walking up?" Sakura removed her coat and shoes. "Yea why?" She grabbed a slice if whole wheat bread and spread peanut-butter on it with a glass of orange juice. "It's 3:45pm" ino looked at the time. "Wow. Oh we'll I guess I waisted my day. "Oh no you don't!" Sakura went upstairs with her and gave her clothes. "Let's go, Frozen Yogurt time!" Ino look a bit sad but she dressed anyways.

(Frozen Yogurt place)
.
"So what's been going on? We haven't been chatting a lot" sakura munched on her vanilla flavor yogurt with pieces of strawberry. "I.. Don't k know if I want to be with Shikamaru anymore. I haven't seen him in so long that when he does come, it feels like he's not there". Ino played with her berry flavor yogurt with gummy bears on them. "Didnt he get a gig to play his band?" "Yea, but since than he hasn't been answering his phone or his text... An it's been going on since the year started". Sakura looked at her worried. "But don't worry. I'm going to finish this homework for Mr. Hatake than ill watch Sailor Moon all night". Ino smiled an ate. "How's it going with the break up? Has he been messaging you?" Ino looked at her sad. "No. But Itachi has..." Ino chocked at Sakura response. "Homegirl! Leave some Uchiha's for us! Can't have all them". Sakura laughed. "Not like I wanted it to turn out this way!" Sakura played with her ice cream and blushed. "You think Sasuke found out?" Ino asked. "I don't know..." Sakura looked away. "Well. If Itachi is treating you better than enjoy it while it last". "Yea.... So what are you going to do with Shika?" Ino stood quiet. "Break up with him". She tried not to show emotions. "Let's get out of here an just go shopping". They both laughed. "Heck yea!"

As they both left the frozen yogurt place, Shikamaru was walking pass. "There you are! I have been reaching you all day". Ino looked through her phone and had nothing. "Oh?" She looked at him emotionless. Shikamaru pick up her attitude. "What's your problem?" He said serious. "Nothing". She put her phone back into her pocket. "Yo talk to me". Shikamaru said with anger. "Why? Not like we do anyways". Shikamaru looked at her seriously. Sakura didn't know what to say as she watched worried. " "what are you trying to say?" He asked. "It's over Shikamaru". She walked away as she brushed off her long blond bangs off her face; sakura followed. Shikamaru turn back as he lit up a cigaret and placed his hands in his pocket. Sakura worried as their walk lead towards Ino's place. "Ino..." Sakura called out. "No it's ok. I'm ok".
