Sakura couldn't believe what she was witnessing. She saw Sasuke, her boyfriend, with another girl. His arms were wrapped around her waist, his hands roaming her whole backside, He whispered things in the girl's ear, in reaction she giggled and cooed his name. Sakura wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to cry no matter what. She wasn't even going to confront him. She just turned and walked away.
Sakura always knew that Sasuke was cheating on her. She found that it was suspicious that he got text messages in the middle of their date and something "suddenly came up". Well, that was when he didn't blow off their dates. And anytime she called him, she would always get a busy tone. But despite all the pretty solid evidence, she always cast the idea of Sasuke cheating on her to the side, never wanting to think about the high chance of it being true.
She regretted that she had.
Sakura felt tears welling up in her eyes every now and again, but ended up blinking them away. She didn't want to cry, he wasn't worth crying over. Sasuke was just a jerk, a liar, a cheater... he was no good for her. She could be with someone who treated her right and actually would be faithful to her. She could be with someone who actually loved her.
Sakura looked up at the sky, just to think tomorrow would've been their two year anniversary. Not anymore. Sakura was planning to move in with Sasuke soon. Not anymore. She planning on marrying Sasuke and spending her entire life with him. Not anymore; none that was happening now. The next time she would see Sasuke it would be to break up with him.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called.
Sakura looked up and saw Naruto running towards her, waving and smiling as usual. She put on a fake smile, she didn't what him to find out that she was really hurting inside. Naruto stopped in front of Sakura, "Hey, so are you busy right now?"
"Oh no, not all," Sakura replied in her most cheerful voice. "Why do you ask?"
"Huh? No date with Sasuke or anything?" Naruto asked, tilting his head. "Weird, you're normally always with him!"
"No, not today."
"Oh, well in that case do you wanna get some ramen with me?"
"Um, sure, why not?" she simply replied.
"Ah! Seriously?! Alright, today must be my lucky day!" Naruto exclaimed.
Naruto and Sakura made their way down to Ichiraku's. Silence loomed between them. Normally when they going somewhere together, they would talk about random things. Work, missions, anything that was on either of their minds. Naruto looked over at Sakura, her face was downcast, her eyes looking towards the ground and her feet.
"Is something wrong, Sakura-chan? You seem kinda down."
"Huh? Oh it's nothing. I have just been having a hard time at the hospital." she replied, placing a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Did you work today?" Naruto asked, looking over her.
"Not today, but yesterday yeah," Sakura lied. This was her vacation week, she hadn't been at the hospital at all. Sakura didn't want Naruto to find out that she was hurting. She was always burdening him with her problems.
"Oh, do you wanna talk about it?"
"No, no, that's okay Naruto!"
"Alright then, but if you want to talk to me about anything I'm here." Naruto said, smiling at her.
Sakura smiled a bit back, then looked back down. They approached Ichiraku's, the aroma of ramen filled the air, Naruto laughed, "Ah, it smells sooo good! I wonder if the old man is working on a new flavor!"
Naruto lifted the cloth that hung above the entry way, allowing Sakura to enter first. Sakura went in and took at seat in a stool, Naruto sat down next to her, "Welcome! The usual for you two?" the elderly man asked.
"Hey old man! Yeah, the usual for me, extra pork!" Naruto said. "What about you Sakura?"
"Huh? Yeah, the usual," Sakura answered, almost not hearing the question.
"Coming right up!"
The old man went to the back to begin cooking the ramen. Sakura continued stayed pretty silent, not even looking up. The visions of Sasuke cheating on her lingered in her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes again, this time she was unsure if she could hold them back anymore. She didn't want to cry, she especially didn't want to cry in front of Naruto.
