Don't Say Goodbye

Chapter 17

Sakura's POV

"Seriously?" I looked up from the book the book that I was reading and met Sasuke's eyes.

I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Yup." I said as I returned to read the novel I was currently reading.

After saying 'yes' to Sasuke he took me to our first official date. It's nothing really fancy, just a simple date at one of Konoha's best coffee shops. It was his treat, even though I insisted that I can pay for my own food.

Sasuke smiled. "Are you serious?" he asked me again.

I sighed as I closed my book and lay it on the table beside my strawberry cheesecake.

I looked up at Sasuke, he was leaning forward and our noses were already too close with each other, too close that I can already feel his breath on my lips. His eyes were wide as saucers; in short he looked exactly like a child.

I chuckled as I reached my hand out and ruffled his hair. "Yeeeees~!" I said in a cute little tone.

Sasuke scowled and pulled away. He fixed his hair and pouted at me like a child. "Don't do that." He mumbled.

"Is it really unbelievable that I'm already your girlfriend?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Eh?" He started, then he looked at the other way avoiding eye contact with me. "Hn.

I grinned at myself as I reached out and pinched his cheeks. "My, is that you Sasuke-chan?" I asked him in a teasing tone. I laughed as I saw a tint shade of pink spread on his cheeks. "Awww, are you blushing?"

He immediately pulled away and stood up turning his back on me. "Shut up, pink piglet." he said as he placed his hand on his pocket. "C'mon, I'll bring you home."

"Hmp. You just don't want to admit that you're blushing because of me." I said as I prepared my stuff. "It's really strange though... I never saw this side of you, chicken wannabe."

Sasuke turned his head over his shoulder to look at me; a smirk plastered on his handsome face. "That's because, you're the only one that I allow to see this side of me."

This time it was my turn to blush. He never let anyone see this side of him, huh? How luck was I to have him as my boyfriend!

I smiled at Sasuke and he smiled back. He extended his hand and I took it gracefully. He led me out of the coffee shop and into the parking lot where he parked his motor bike.

"Here." I took the helmet from his hand and wore it on my head.

He drove off to the busy streets of Konoha at top speed. I can feel the cool, chilly winds that October has blowing under my uniform's skirt.

I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly as I smiled behind his helmet.

'October 18...' I thought to myself.

I will surely remember this day. So far, this day has been the best day of my life. The day when my first love finally asked me out. The day when Sasuke and I are officially a couple... well not exactly since I haven't told my parents about me dating Sasuke.

"Here we are." Sasuke said as he started slow down in front of my house.

"That's because, you're the only one that I allow to see this side of me."

I felt a blush spread on my cheeks as I remembered what he said earlier. I slowly took of the helmet and gave it to him. I hopped off his bike and slowly faced Sasuke with my hands tied behind my back.

"Thank you!" I cheerfully said as I cupped both of his cheeks and planted a sweet kiss on his lips, which completely shocked him. "See you tomorrow." I said as I skipped off to our front porch. I was about to unlock the door when I turned around to see if Sasuke was still there.

And to my surprise, he still was. His eyes were opened wide as he stared at me.

A chuckle escaped my lips. I wave goodbye at him. "Go home and stay safe, okay?" I shouted at him.

*Bzzzt*

I lifted my head from the comforts of my soft pillow and looked at my bedside table.

My phone was glowing, so I reached out my hand and grabbed it. It was a message from Sasuke.

A smile crept its way to my lips. I bit my lips as I opened the text message. It read like this:

Goodnight. And try not to dream about me too much. I love you

I texted him back saying:

As if I'll try to dream about you! FYI, my dreams are always full of

the Osaka High students, not the cold hearted, cool, jerk, cheesy, gangster,

boyfriend of mine, Sasuke Uchiha :P Night-night. I love you too,

I pressed the send button and rested my phone beside me. I was about to zone off to dreamland when my phone vibrated again.

I squinted my eyes as it tried to adjust from the blinding bright light my phone was releasing. It was a text from Sasuke again. I sighed.

Who the hell are those Osaka High students?!

what are they your ex-boyfriends?! Tell me so

I'll beat the crap out of them!

I giggled. He wasn't serious right? Has he not yet heard of the Osaka High students? Obviously not, because if he has already heard of them he wouldn't be jealous of boys that I saw in a TV series.

And so that was how my night went. Sasuke and I were awake until it was 12 in the morning, arguing about the Osaka High students and Eitoku High's F4. The boy really believed me when I told him that they were my ex-boyfriends. I told him that I was only kidding and they were actually fictional characters. It was cute though, how easily it was to make him jealous. A jealous Sasuke is always a cute Sasuke.

Sasuke and I continued to date for months. Like ordinary couples we cuddled, we kissed (a lot), we joke around, we faced a lot of obstacles with each other like the first time we told our friend that we were dating.

"Eh?!" Ino asked as she dropped he onigiri. Looking back at Sasuke and I

"Are you serious, Sakura?" Hinata asked me.

I nodded my head as I smiled at them. I lifted my hand, which was stuck with Sasuke's our fingers were entangle with each other.

Both Hinata and Ino gaped at our hands. I giggled at their expressions on their faces. While Sasuke smirked.

"You're not kidding!" Ino squealed as she jumped up and down while clapping her hands.

"I'm so happy for you-" Hinata was saying something when Ino cut her off, pointing a fork at Sasuke's face.

Sasuke stared at it and back at Ino raising his eyeborws. "Uchiha! You better take care of our friend!"

"What the f-" I turned to my head to the right side ad saw Kiba, Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru, all staring at Sasuke and I with their eyes wide open.

KIba rushed over to us and examined our hands which were still entangled with each other.

"What is the meaning of this?!" he asked both of us.

"Teme!" Naruto said as he wrapped his arm around Sasuke shoulder. "You're a big boy now!"

"Shut up!" Sasuke said as he punched his friend causing our hands to part.

"Say, what should we call them?" Ino suggested cupping her elbow in her hands and looking serious.

"Saska?" Kiba suggested and was punched by Sasuke.

"Shut up..."

"Sasu..."

"Saku..."

I sighed. Were they seriously going to give us couple names?

"I know!" Ino exclaimed.

"Sasusaku!" Naruto continued.

Sasuke looked at me and raised his brow. I smiled and shrug at him. It was actually a cute name huh?

We spent the whole week being teased by our friends, schoolmates. classmates, teachers and other staff members. It was getting annoying as each day passed, but nothing can beat the day when I first introduced him to my family...

"No way?" Gaara asked staring at me across the dining table.

"I beg your pardon?" My mother asked the same time as Gaara spoke.

Sasuke and I exchanged nervous looks. By the looks of their face and the tone of their voices, I think they might not approve of this.

Sasuke cleared his throat and looked at my mother and then to my father. Sasuke looked at my father straight to the eye, the atmosphere was tense and I couldn't help but feel nervous about it.

"I am dating you daughter, sir." Sasuke simply stated.

"You're dating Sakura?" All eyes were then turned to Gaara who was staring at his food.

Slowly Gaara looked up at us and locked eyes with me and then he burst out laughing with my mother and father.

Again, Sasuke and I exchanged looks.

"And you said... hahaha..." Gaara said while laughing, "You said... pfft... ahhaha." he shook his head trying to stop form laughing.

"Eh? Gaara, mom, dad what's so funny?" I asked them.

"You!" My father said as he pointed me using his fork.

"Yeah... hahaha! You said you will never have a boyfriend... hahaha..." my mother paused whipping away the tears in her eyes due to laughter. "You said you will never love anyone... hahaha. and now look at you!"

"O-oh? Is that so?" I asked them, still not getting what was so funny.

"You never wanted to be in a relationship?" Sasuke asked me raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah." I nodded, and smiled at him. "That was until I met you." Sasuke grinned at what I said. He was about to reply when my brother beat him at it.

"Hahaha! Look mom, she even said something cheesy!" Gaara said trying to regain his posture.

Sasuke snickered beside me and I glared at him. "Shut up, Gaara."

"Wait." my father said seriously the laughter dying down in the room as we all looked at him. "You couldn't have possibly be pregnant with his child, right? Is that why you two are dating?"

I stared at my father in horror.

"Dad!"

Yup, surely Sasuke and I have faced a lot already. I felt contented and happy with him. Just waking up in the morning knowing that he's loving makes my heart do cartwheels. I am indeed the happiest girl alive.

Being in a relationship with Sasuke was the best thing that happened in my life. For once, I have felt as if I have a normal life. As if I have a normal and healthy life... for once I felt as if I never had the disease that I am suffering at right now.

Of course, that was until Ino and Hinata found out about my disease. That was when I woke up back to reality, that what I am living is not like a fairytale just because I was dating Sasuke... I am living a life where there is a possibility that I might leave soon. My illness was getting worse as days pass by.

You know that feeling when you feel that subject is so easy and you don't have to study it at all, and then whenthe test paper is in fornt of you you're like: 'meh. easy as pie' but then once you passed your paper to the proctor that's when you realize you did the whole eqaution wrong! Yup, that's what I felt. I know how to answer it and everything, but I did the whole equation wrong! Imagine wasting more than I think 20 points in you exam! Man, my parents are going to kill me. This exam story is even sadder than this story :'(
