Dedicated to Short_Izzy: For commenting and starting a new SasuSaku story called, "A Shy Voice." Check it out ;)

Sakura's POV

Waking up the next morning was as always, the most irritating thing in the world. But for some reason, I  was a little excited. It might be because Sasuke wanted to talk to me and I have a feeling it's about his past. It makes me feel happy that he would feel that comfortable around me, to talk about such a dark, horrid topic.

"The muffins are ready, Sakura!" Mom yells out.

After putting on my fraily, black sweater, I run down the stairs and hop onto the bar stool. The blueberry muffins are my motivation at the moment.

"So..." Mom trails off.

I look up at her and she has on a creepy smile. It makes me cringe.

"Why do you look like you're about ready to chop my limbs off and cook them in a big pot?"

"Sakura!" Mom smacks me on the head with a rolled up newspaper, "Stop thinking so graphically! I was going to ask you how Sasuke and you were doing. Have you hugged? Have you kissed? Have you... Don't tell me you've-"

"Mom! Calm down. I think you're overthinking Sasuke and I's relationship. We've kissed. That's it." I tell her.

I hear a knock at the door and I eat the last bit of my muffin quickly. Once I open the door, Sasuke's there and I smile at him.

"Bye Mom!" Then I slam the door.

"Hey." I smile.

His lips turn to a straight line and he nods a hello. I immedietly know something's going on.

"Are you...Okay?"

"Yeah...I'm fine." He replies and walks away to his car.

As we were on our way to school, I couldn't help but notice Sasuke's facial and body tone. Every since Sasuke and I got together, I knew he was a man of a few words and had only a few facial expressions, but something about the look on his face was not right. I noticed his teeth were clenched, his eyes were glued the rode, ad his eyebrows were furrowed. Not to mention, his hands were gripping the steering wheel in a rough manner. I felt an angry vibe from him. Everything about him was dark at the moment.

All that went through my mind was what I did wrong. I'm not saying I'm the reason for his attitude, but I would expect him to at least talk to me about it. Yes, we haven't been going out for long, but I feel like I can talk to him about anything, as can he. I just want to know what's angering him, whether it's me or a whole different topic.

"Sasuke." I say quietly.

He keeps his position and doesn't say a word.

"Please, Sasuke."

"Just be quiet. Please." He responds in a slow tone.

It was a simple request, but my heart dropped at his words. I know this is about me. I just know it.

We arrive at Konoha Highschool and he gets out of the car immedietly, without even giving me a glance, as well as rushing through the doors of the school.

My guilt was slowly getting the best of me, even though I have nothing to be guilty of. I would talk to his friends about what's going on, but ever since Sasuke and I started dating, I haven't talked to them much.

~~~~~~~~~~

Concentration is not for me at the moment. In all of my classes, I wasn't listening to one word any of my teachers were saying. All I can think about is Sasuke. What could I have done? I'm not saying it's my fault, but I can't help but think about all the events that led up to today. Absolutely nothing I did could have angered him. I didn't go behind his back or say anything disrespectful to him. What could it be?

The bell rang for lunch and I was ready to get out of math class.

"Sakura." Kurenai-Sensei motioned to me.

I walk over to her desk and she smiles at me, "Your test scores are increasing. Sasuke Uchiha must be a miracle for you."

I nod my head, "Yeah, he is."

"I don't think you need tutored anymore."

"Actually I'm going to be honest with you. Sasuke hasn't tutored me lately. I've just been studying."

"Regardless, I'm extremely impressed with you. Now get out of here." She says playfully.

"Yes, ma'am."

~~~~~~~~~~

Sasuke never came to lunch. He always sits with me, but he wasn't there. I didn't ven see him with his friends at their table. I scanned the whole cafeteria and nothing. Even in Kakashi-Sensei's class, he didn't sneak a glance at me. Nothing was adding up. I'm terrified at this point.

~~~~~~~~~~

Finally school was over and I was ready to go to the park with Sasuke.

I watch as he walks to me and I put on a fake smile and wave. He puts his hands in his pockets and looks down at the ground while he walks. He walks past me and I watch his figure walk a few feet, until he stops and turns his head slightly towards me.

"Let's go." Sasuke says.

I nod and walk behind him, cautiously. He's letting me ride with him, so that's a good sign, right?

I get into the car with him and he goes into the same position as this morning. I should start some small talk.

"I missed you at lunch. Where were you?" I ask.

"Assisting teachers." He says blankly.

"Oh. Who?"

"It doesn't matter."

I bite my bottom lip and look out the window. I watch as the park entrance makes way, until we drive right past it.

"I thought we were going to the park today." I say.

I look at Sasuke and he just blinks. What the hell is going on? Once we get into my neighborhood, he stops the car in front of a tree and takes his hand off the steering wheel. Sasuke gets out of the car and stands in front of the huge tree, while having his back turned towards me. I just sit in the car for a few moments and stare at his back, until I'm ready for answers.

I get out of the car and slam it shut. Sasuke's back tenses when he hears the slam of the door.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sasuke's POV

I stare at the tree, until I hear my car door slam shut. My back tenses.

"I want answers, Sasuke. What the hell is your problem?!" Sakura asks.

I grit my teeth and recall Deidara's words.

"Do everything I say or else I will make hers and your life miserable."

I ball my hands into clenched fists.

"Tell her something rude."

"You're my damn problem, Sakura." I say coldly.

"W-what are you talking about? What did I do?!" Her voice rises.

"Lie. Tell her you're miserable with her."

"Everything about you is a problem. You're an embaressment at school and I've had to put up with it for a couple weeks now." This is not how it's supposed to end.

"B-but you said you would take that risk!" She screams, "How could you lie to me!"

"Show her pity."

"I lied to you because I felt bad for you." I say, coldly.

"What are you talking about, Sasuke!?"

I stay silent.

"Answer me!" She screams at the top of her lungs.

I chuckles, "Think about it. You're miserable at school. I only tolerated you so you could be happy for once."

"Do I sound happy to you?!"

"Good things must come to an end, especially for you." I close my eyes and look down, regretting everything I'm saying.

"So you're telling me everything we had was a lie?! All the things you told me were all fibs?! That you were actually dissappointed I was Sakura Blossom?!" I could hear the muffles in her voice.

"They weren't lies. Just an experiment." I answer.

"An experiment, huh?" Her voice becomes low, "Look at me, Sasuke."

I stay in the same position.

"Dammit, Sasuke look at me!" She demands loudly.

I look up at the sky for a moment, look back ahead, and turn slowly towards her. Tears were falling from her face and I knew I broke her heart. Damn Diedara.

"Well look at me. You've successfully experimented and your conclusions are clear, yes? A loner fell in love with a hot shot, just like the cliche movies. You've done it Sasuke Uchiha! You've turned it into reality. I love you and you don't care."

"Finish it."

"You're right. I don't care. Now go home." I say, with a straight face.

Sakura's POV

After he said that, I looked into his eyes and I saw something. I saw regret. Maybe he did regret it, but his tone seemed true.

Without saying another word, I ran. I ran as fast as I could, without looking back.

I lost him.

I lost someone I truly loved.
