~H E A R T & T E A R S~

***

There are times in our life, that make us feel like another chess piece. We are played by fate, and dictated by the blind heart..

Sakura Haruno's POV

"Sakura!!"

I ignored their calls.

And continued to run away from them. Run away from the pain of my past, that I know will still haunt me in my present and future.

Pained tears rolled down my face.

It was a miracle that I haven't lost much body fluid from all the tears I shedded tonight.

What they said was right.

Tears are made up of 1% water, and 99% emotions.

And telling you, the emotions I feel this evening have only been pain, hatred and regret.

Pain, for I was lied to. After all this time..earlier, I thought Sasuke and Konoha were the only ones who lied to me,

But to my dismay, the only person I thought was true to me, turned out to be the worst liar and the best actor there is.

Hatred. I hate them. Yes, all of them.. Now, where will I go? I have no where to go home to. I can't go home to Konoha, and certainly, I can't go back to that house.

I am now an outcast. A mere chess piece in this world.

Regret. The most intense emotion I feel right now. Why, you ask me?

Because I regret loving him. Them. All of them.

I regret entrusting my heart to Sasori, and even once to Sasuke.

End of explanation.

I took a turn to the left.

The mistaken path I took before, is now the right path I am taking.

I held on to the only object I valued now. My silver wristwatch.

Yes, it still reminds me of the puppet master, but I grew attached to it somehow. I learned to treasure it.

If he said before, was true and not some white lie, it was the only one his late mother left him.

I smiled bitterly.

No one cares for me in this world anymore.

And with a broken heart, I stopped, only a few feet away from the edge.

Of this cliff.

I took a peek down, and all I can see I darkness. What Akasuna said was true.

It was deep.

It was perfect.

I took a step closer, estemating that in only three more steps, I can finally say good bye to this world.

"Sakura!"

Faint voices called out from the forest behind me.

I took in a deep breathe and conceal my chakra signature.

I averted my eyes at the night sky. Seeing the moon at its full beauty made me envy it and also the twinkling stars..

"Its a good thing you don't have to endure the pain I am enduring now. You have people who loves you.. People who gazes up, just like me and get amazed by your magical appearance.."

I know I look stupid.

But like a liar once said to me, he'll put the cause of death, stupidity in my death certificate.

Well, if I ever get one, that is.

I took a step. Two more and I'm through.

But I'm happy...

I can finally be free from this world.

"I am Sakura Haruno... The disciple of the Fifth Hokage, the Slug Sannin. A ninja, a daughter, a friens, a student... A lover."

I took another step.

I guess this is it..

I let my tears pour down. I'll miss this life. I wonder if they will ever remember me?

Who knows.

"..And I lived..in a world full of love, and lies..."

With one last step,

"SAKURA!!"

They called me.

But it was too late.
