Second Chances

They had been going out for 3 years now and he had just asked her to marry him on her birthday a week ago. She couldn't believe that this had happened! Lately, Sasuke had been coming home later than usual. Sakura just thought that he had bumped into Naruto or something but she didn't think that that was the case anymore. She had waited up for him as usual, but she knew that something wasn't right.

The next morning, Sasuke told her that he was going to train with Naruto. She decided to follow him in hopes that he was telling her the truth, but as soon as he left she knew that he wasn't training with Naruto. He had gone in the opposite direction heading towards the center of the village. He turned into the Amaguriama dumpling shop and walked up to a girl and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. The girl had beautiful, long blond hair blue eyes and was wearing a light blue tank top with short black shorts.

"Sakura!!" Naruto screamed.

Sakura turned towards Naruto then back to Sasuke. There was shock written all over his face. After a few seconds of staring at him, Sakura couldn't take it anymore and ran as fast as she could out of the shop with Sasuke hot on her heels.

"Sakura wait please!! Let me explain!!" Sasuke yelled.

"NO!! I hate you!! Stay away from me!!" Sakura screamed with tears streaming down her face.

Soon, Sasuke caught up to her and grabbed her wrists. He slammed her against a tree and crushed his lips to hers. He couldn't stand the thought of losing her.

"Sakura listen to me, I'm so sorry. If I had known you were there I wouldn't have-

"That's just it Sasuke!! You would have done it anyway!! Here, I think this is yours."

She handed him back the ring he had given to her when he had asked her to marry him.

"Sakura… what do I have to do? What do I have to do to make you stay with me?"

"Prove to me that you love me more than you love her."

"Give me one more chance Sakura… please. Give me one more chance to prove that I love you. I promise I won't let you down."

"I can't Sasuke. I can't trust you to do that. I don't want you to break my heart over and over again."

Sasuke put his head down in shame. He knew as soon as he heard her name that she wouldn't forgive him.

"Sakura… I don't know what I have to do to prove to you that I love you not her. You have to tell me what I have to do." Sasuke said sadly.

"Give me some time to think things over okay?" Sakura replied.

"How long will that be?"

"A couple of weeks."

"Alright. I'll wait."

"Thank you Sasuke."

"Yeah. I love you Sakura."

Sakura gave him a small smile and walked away.

Three weeks later.

Sakura was walking towards the Uchiha Estate. She had finally made her decision. Sakura walked up to the gate and climbed over it. She walked up to the door and knocked on it. Sasuke walked up to the door wrapped in a blanket. He was a mess. His hair was messy, he had bags under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't showered in a while. Sasuke opened the door and saw Sakura standing in front of him. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist. She said, "Well… I guess, I guess everyone deserves a second chance, but please Sasuke, please don't make me regret it."

"I won't Sakura I promise."

With that, they walked hand in hand back to the village center.

"Oh and Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"I DON'T love her."

"Yeah. I know."

"I love you Sasuke."

"I love you too, Sakura."
