I was crying like I've never did before and all I could feel was betrayal and pain. Although I had a secret too which made me sound a hypocrite. When Sasuke tried to get closer to me I pushed myself away, covering my face with my hands which made him look down. I knew I hurt him with my attitude but I still couldn't believe it. We were actually going to be away from each other and no matter how hard I tried to be positive I just couldn't. He was going to the U.S. and I was going to Australia. How was this going to work? All my thoughts were on the future right now as more tears escaped from my eyes.

"I needed time to think about it..." Sasuke muttered, getting closer to me and holding my hands again. "I didn't want to hurt you and I admit that I was afraid to tell you as well." He rubbed my cheek with one of his hands, his eyes softening as they met mines. "I don't want to lose you, Sakura. You're everything to me and I love you so much." His forehead was now against mine. "But my uncle insists I study abroad no matter what the cost... And I really can't do anything to stop that." A sigh escaped his soft lips. "Although I did think of one option... You can marry me." Sasuke's cheeks got red as he said these words.

"What?" My eyes widened and I felt my cheeks getting hotter. Did he actually say that? "Us? Get married?" I still couldn't believe he thought about that. It's not that I didn't want to marry him it's just... We were only 18 and I didn't think my parents would love the idea. I gently pushed him away, facing him.

"Well, you know... It might sound a little selfish but it would be the only way you could come with me. Only if you want to, of course." He explained with hope on his eyes. "We could live together and continue our studies..."

"Sasuke, I would love that but there's also something you should know..." I muttered, preparing myself to tell him as I looked at him. "I was accepted in Australia."

"Really?" Sasuke stuttered, certainly not expecting me to say this.

"Yes and I'm sorry I didn't tell you before... It's just that I didn't know how to do it..." A new tear ran down my face.

"It's alright, I'm sorry too. We were both afraid." He assured me as his arms hugged my small body. My head rested on his shoulder and my arms were around his torso. We stayed in silence for a couple of minutes until I spoke again.

"Babe?" I had just decided what I wanted to do.

"Yes?"

"I want to go with you." I said as a huge smile showed up on my face. Sasuke immediately pushed me away, looking at my face with surprise.

"Are you serious?" A smile threatened to form on his lips.

"Yes, I want to be with you and U.S. has great colleges too." A small laugh came out of my mouth and suddenly Sasuke was laying down on top of me, kissing all over my face. "Sasuke!" I called him while more laughs escaped.

"I love you, baby and thank you for coming with me." He whispered looking into my eyes.

"I love you." I smiled, kissing his lips gently. "Just one more thing..." I spoke against his lips.

"Yes?" Sasuke said, starting to kiss my neck which made me moan low.

"Are... Are we alone?" I couldn't find the words because he was teasing me and he knew it.

"Yeah, Itachi is going to spend the night at his girlfriend's house." He kept kissing my skin as his hands found the end of my dress, starting to rise it.
