Sasuke was there, right next to her. He finally decided to show up after such a long time but it didn't make her happy, not in the slightest. "So, are you never going to answer my question?" She spat bitterly. She licked her lips, tasting her salty tears. She has waited for him for more than two weeks. She has been mentally begging him to appear out of nowhere everyday, to just show up. She has been staying each night at the bridge, searching for a sign, but it never came. Sasuke never came. And now he was here, yet he still remains silent. He was contemplating whether he should tell her the truth or not. He warned her about this. He knew that they shouldn't be attached to each other like this. Sakura didn't listen while he selfishly enjoyed the company of someone that he knew he didn't deserve. Sasuke swallowed the lump in his throat as he took off his jacket. He placed it over her head as he grasped the courage not to let his voice break when he said the next words: "Goodbye," And with that, he walked away from her for the last time.
