Chapter 7- Sweet and Sour

"You know I was kidding right? I was just... messing around with Jessie because I know... that she's here all along." I lied.

Temari and Kankuro didn't believed me but Jessie seems she did.

End of Flashback

"So did you remember?" She ask raising both of her eyebrows.

"Yes I did remember. But I also remembered that I said I was just kidding because I was only messing around with you. Remember?" I replied and she sighed.

Jessica's POV

"Yes I did remember." I only wish you meant all of those words. I wish all of the words that you said were true Gaara.

"Anyway, let's play Hide n Seek. You're in Dylan." I said and he frowned.

I call him Dylan because he suggested to call me Jessie so it will be different to the other people who called me by nicknames. So I call him Dylan so it would also be different to his normal name.

"Me again? Why am I always in first?" He complained.

"Please." I begged with puppy eyes and he sighed.

Gaara's POV

"Fine." I couldn't resist those eyes.

She's so cute. She always make my heart skip a beat.

I covered my eyes and counted for thirty seconds. I spread my sand so I can find her immediately and I did. We played all day long until it was time for home time again. We said our goodbyes and I sighed. Why can't we just be together forever?

As I was walking back to my home, a ninjas tried to kill me and I know my father sent them to kill me. Unfortunately they all failed for my sands blocked their kunais and I killed them all in less than a minute. No one can kill me. No one can also hurt me. Only one person can hurt me though, and that's you... Jessie.

I decided to tell her what I feel towards her so I run home and wrote a letter for her. I then went in front of her house. I stopped halfway for fear strike me.

What am I doing? What if she doesn't like me? What if she rejects me? What if this would destroy our friendship? What if-

"Aw shut up and just give it to her already!" Shukaku yelled in my mind and I took a big sighed.

I continued walking then slide the letter to her door then I left. Now all I have to do is wait for her response. I hope she feels the same way as me. I had love her since the day she become my friend. She gave light into my darkness. She's precious to me and I will do everything to protect her.

Jessica's POV

I went home and I was surprise that my parents were home, sitting on the couch.

"Hi mum, hi dad." I greeted and they have a serious face which kind off worried me.

I wonder what's going on.

"We're leaving. We already packed your things and we're leaving now." My dad said and I was shocked.

"W-what?" I muttered.

"Come on, we'll be travelling right now to the Village Hidden in the Leaf." My mum demanded and they both went to the front door.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to stop them. I wanted to punch them... but I was still their daughter and they're still my parents so I have to obey them. We left immediately and I felt so sorry for Gaara. I didn't even said goodbye to him. He didn't even know that I was leaving. I... I broke my promise to him that I will never ever leave him but I did.

Why does this had to happened? Gaara... I'm so sorry. I hope one day you'll forgive me. I... love you.

Normal POV

They had been travelling for two days now but Jessica didn't spoke to her parents. She was angry at them for not telling her the reason why they left. In fact, they kept it a secret to her.

During their travel, they took the route through Village Hidden in the Mist. There they had been ambush and it was a set up so the enemies can kill Jessica's parents.

"Jessica! RUN!" Her dad yelled but Jessica was stubborn so her mum carried her away and puts her down inside a forest.

"Sweetheart. Run straight and never return. The Village Hidden in the Leaf is not far from here if you keep running. Remember, we love you." And with that, Jessica's mum gave the bag with all of the things that Jessica have then she returned to help her husband.

Jessica did as what her mum told her to do for she knows that she'll get lost if she tried to follow her mum. She run and run, crying so hard until she trips over, bumping her head into a hard rock and she fell into unconciousness.

Jessica's POV

I woke up with the sunlight shining through my eyes. Wait... that doesn't look like sunlight. I opened my eyes slightly, with my hand on top of it covering the light, and let my eyes adjust to the light.

As soon as it adjusted, I look around my surroundings. I was wearing a white, dress that's for a patient in a hospital. There was only one table and one window. I felt pain in my head and I touch it then I flinch. I felt a bandages on my head then I panicked.

I cannot remember anything! Only my name which was Jessica Uzumaki but other than that, nothing. I cannot remember what happened in my past, who my parents were, who my friends were or anything. Although there's one more name that I always think of... Dylan. Who the heck is Dylan? Why can't I remember anything?
