A/N: This is the only fic I haven't finished yet and I swear I'm going to be writing it forever. Lmao! Let's hope not, I can't write two fics at the same time. I get confused and write the wrong names, *make spelling errors*, etc. lmao Anyway, now Sakura's getting kind of angsty and confused. This chapter should be good. I hope! lol. And how stoked was I to see the author of one of my favorite Naruto fanfics, "The People Who Are Important 1 & 2" gave me 2 good reviews, XoXgaaraXoX? Thank you for reading! Also a big thank you to my friend, Nollie-chan ^_^, for giving me the phrase, 'awesomely diverse'. Lmao!

The song for this chapter describes how Sakura feels to a freakin' T. This song is really good either version:
What Hurts The Most-Cascada, Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me
Chapter 11
For the first day after Sasuke was discharged from the hospital the air in Sakura's apartment was thick with tension. She noticed whenever she was in the kitchen he would find an excuse to be in there too. The only places she was safe was in her bedroom and the bathroom. And quite frankly, she was really fucking tired of hiding in them.
After Tsunade said it was Sakura's apartment or Ino's apartment, she decided that she would make good on her offer to let him stay. After all, Ino hated Sasuke now and didn't hesitate to tell anyone who would listen to her. And since she was dating Chouji, Sakura was pretty sure her apartment was the better choice. Now, as she was hiding in her bedroom blasting the stereo, she wasn't so sure anymore.
***
Sasuke sat on the floor outside of her bedroom and listened to her music. He really wanted to try and prove to her that he was sincere, but he couldn't do that if she wouldn't talk to him. He leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. She sure has awesomely diverse taste in music, he thought, So far I've heard j-pop, emo, dance, alternative, Celtic and now country? Wow. He yawned and stood up to stretch. He looked at her door and thought, Why not? He knocked on her bedroom door and held his breath, hoping she would open it and talk to him.
When she heard him him knock, she almost had a heart attack. What the hell? He hasn't ever knocked before. Hmm, maybe he needs something, she thought as she got up to open the door. She looked at Sasuke, he looked awful. "Sasuke, you need to sleep. Your body needs to rest. Kami! Lay down, I'll let you sleep in my bed. Geeze, next time you want some attention, could you do something less dramatic," she said as she practically threw him into the room. "If you don't go to sleep in twenty minutes, I'll knock you out. I can't believe while I slept last night, you stayed awake. What are you trying to prove?" Her jade eyes searched his onyx eyes for answers. "Sasuke? When did you sleep last?" she asked the Uchiha, who looked a little dazed.
"I don't remember. ANBU ward maybe? Sakura, I fucked up. Please, just talk to me, at least until I fall asleep," he said sitting down on the bed. He looked at her and thought of a split second that she was going to say no, but he knew the medic in her wouldn't let her.
"Sasuke-kun," she said as she fought for composure, "I'll stay in here until you fall asleep, but no funny stuff. I'm not even joking about this," her chin quivered as she finished her sentence.
"Please, I don't want you shed anymore tears over me. I'm not worth it," he said touching her arm.
She turned to glare and yell at him, but one look in his eyes and she couldn't say a thing. She sat down next to him on the bed and brought her hand up to his face. The darkened room took on a strange soft green glow from her chakra. "Sasuke-kun, tell me what we missed at the hospital. Why are you in so much pain?" she asked him.
He lifted his shirt to reveal a partially healed stab wound on his shoulder. "I tried to heal it myself, but I think it's infected now. One of the ANBU at the hospital got a little over zealous. Then again I was being a complete asshole and deserved it," he said shrugging his shoulders and wincing a bit.
"I'll fix it, Sasuke-kun. It'll be okay," she said as the room glowed brighter green as she concentrated her chakra in her right palm. She placed it over the wound and forced her chakra in to pull out the toxins causing the infection.
He winced and watched out of the corner of his eyes as she pulled the toxins out of his body with her chakra. "You're amazing," he whispered. He turned his head a little more and saw her eyes light up just a little at his compliment. Now, maybe we can get somewhere, he thought as her chakra poured into his body, mending his semi-torn flesh.
She got up and got her med kit. She applied a healing ointment and bandaged his shoulder. "There, good as new," she said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She blocked the nerves in the area of the wound so he could sleep.
"Sakura-chan, the pain is gone," he said in a low whisper, "I love you. You amaze me." His eyes drifted closed and within three minutes he was asleep.
She brushed his coal black bangs out of his face. She could only imagine the horrors he must relive in dreams. She laid down next to him. She didn't want him to wake up and think she left him. Pretty soon, she was asleep too.
***
Sasuke woke with a start, he looked around at the darkened room trying to remember where he was. He felt movement next to him and turned his head. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm at Sakura's place, he thought wiping the cold sweat off his face with his shirt. He took the damp shirt off and tossed it on the floor. He laid back down and thought about the dream he'd had. He hadn't thought about the Final Valley in years and yet the entire fight replayed in his dreams since he'd come home. That's why I haven't been sleeping, he thought rubbing his eyes. He felt her snuggle closer to him and he looked over at her. He brushed her hair away from her face and let his hand linger. He sighed and pulled his hand away, remembering his promise not to try anything. It was already too tense between them as it was, he didn't need to make it worse.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, she snuggled even closer and laid her head on his naked chest. Sasuke held his breath and tried to think about anything other than her warm breath on his chest. He didn't want to shove her off of him. Really, he kind of liked her there, but he didn't want to do anything that would piss her off. Because there way no way in hell he was going to stay at Ino's place. Finally, he put his arm around her and held her tight.
***
When she woke up about half hour later, she was confused for a moment. Who is in my bed? she thought briefly and then she remembered. She wasn't used to waking up with someone, Kami, how horrible is that to think?, she giggled a little. Then she looked up into coal black eyes that were glittering with amusement. She felt him running his hand through her hair and she stretched her arm up to touch his face. "You look well rested. Did you sleep okay?" she asked him.
"Better than I've slept since I came home," he smiled at her and stroked the side of her face. He could see the conflict in her eyes, "I'm sorry. I really wasn't trying anything."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "No, it's not that...I just...I mean, did, uh," she stammered a bit and blushed.
"Nothing happened, if that's what you're asking. I don't want to live at that bitch Ino's place," he said still stroking the side of her face. He saw some of the conflict disappear and pulled her on top of him. Even though he knew she couldn't possibly be comfortable he brought her face down to his and kissed her. When she parted her lips and kissed him back, he was in heaven.
She moved around and got herself in a more comfortable position, she blushed when she realized just how comfortable he was with her on top of him. She started to climb off of him when he grabbed her wrist. "Don't go anywhere yet," he told her running his thumb over the inside of her wrist. "Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry. I can't, I just can't. Not yet," she said climbing off of him and trying to swallow back the lump that was rising in her throat.
"Wait! Sakura-chan, that's not what I meant," he stopped when he realized he was talking to the bathroom door. Sighing, he got up and went into the living room and flopped down on the couch. Wincing, he also discovered the nerve block had worn off. Well, this is just fucking great. Now she's pissed and hurt all over again. Kami!!! Why didn't Naruto just let ANBU kill me? Then everyone would of been better off, he thought as he ignored the dull ache and closed his eyes.

For Sasuke, I decided to pick this song. It's all full of guilt and such. lol
Tears Don't Fall- Bullet for My Valentine
Let's go!
With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls, too guilty to come home
The moments died, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me makes it better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls, too guilty to come home
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking
Will this ever end I'm hoping
My world is over one more time
Let's go!
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me makes it better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls, too guilty to come
Back!
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscience calls, too guilty to come home
