Rock Lee's P.O.V

Sakura Haruno's P.O.V

Chapter 1-"My Sakura"

I know she does not like me but I continue to lover her more, she is my angel and she can not change that. I want her to love me, feel the feelings that I feel for her but the feelings I always show end in rejection. Why does she not like me? Am I not good enough for her? She chases someone that she has liked for awhile, my feelings only started since the year started. It was before we went into the room for our exams and I walked up to her and introduced myself to her. She freaked out and could not believe I had asked her out, she did not like a lot of my features and got edgy. That was how Sakura was, a prim, smart, dramatic queen, I do not know what attracts me to her. It is something I know.

I promised her on dates but she only wailed out in disgust of it and asked Sasuke Uchiha to shield her from me. I was about ready to give up on the cherry blossom I wanted and that was Sakura Haruno. She wanted Sasuke. It me jealous that she was after Sasuke and not me but I learned to deal with the situation and let things be the way they were. I still wanted Sakura and I was not going to give up yet, I knew I could let her see through to me in her own way but I had to wait on that.

The worst thought that I hoped would not happen, ended up happening. It started in class:

Flashback

"Hey, Sakura! Rock Lee wrote a note about you." Ino grinned, she turned around and Sakura snatched the note from me.

"Oh, Sakura! It is not ready, do not read it!" I whispered. "Wait, Sakura! You will laugh, I do not know why I wrote it…………"

"Superior, Adore, Krafty, Unbreakable, Rush, Adorn. It's an acrostic." Sakura looked at me a different way then what she usually gives me, she went to Sasuke and ignored me. "Sasuke, wait!"

"Sakura………Wait!" I yelled, as I rushed down the hallway, Sakura had been more anxious these past weeks due to Sasuke. He had made a decision about something; I did not know what it was about. I hoped it was not too bad, it seemed like it was bad.

"Sasuke, Sasuke!" Sakura yelled, I quickly hid behind a wall and watched Sakura. "Sasuke, we need to plan our next date, I know you'll………Wait, what's wrong?"

"Sakura." He said sadly. "………………There's something you should know……it's about our relationship………I decided that being together isn't working out and I want us to be close friends. I don't want to be this close."

"What?!?! Are you saying that it's better off we're friends instead of…………" Sakura stopped as the silence crept in. "………Sasuke………no, this can't be happening………Sasuke! We can't break up! No! No! no…………"

I had never seen Sakura so depressed but I knew Sasuke had to break the news somehow, he was interested in another girl and that was…Ino, Sakura's best friend. She was really going to kick dirt in Sakura's face for losing Sasuke and for being right all along, it seemed like she could not move or move at all. I felt so bad seeing Sakura cry as Sasuke left her. Her long hair covered her face as she cried, I walked by as she looked up at me.

I crouched down to see her closely and she began to cry more, she put her arms to me and I hugged her. "I'm sorry about what happened Sakura, I really am."

"I want Sasuke…………he means the world to me but I have to accept the fact that he doesn't want a relationship with me……Oh, Rock Lee. I'm so depressed…………"

"It will be okay, Sakura." I smiled brightly. "You could always try me………after you recover of course, please Sakura?"

"What?!?!?! No! I want Sasuke! Why would I go with you?!?!" Sakura was sort of creped out. "Cha! I want Sasuke and I'm going to get him back!"

I sighed heavily, Sakura stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I could not believe she was staring at me, I looked at her with a concerned look. I felt like I had wished them apart and I did not, I had warned Sakura that Sasuke was showing interest in someone else and thought about ending the relationship because he thought things were not working and it made her extremely mad that I had said that. I was right.

"Lee, you were right and you saw it coming, why didn't I believe you?" Sakura eyes began to cry again and she could not look at me. "I'm so sorry, I should of trusted you."

"Never mind Sakura, it happened and things happen. If I were you I would have done the same thing." She turned toward me and let a small smile appear, I began to turn red then she frowned again and began calling out for Sasuke. Sasuke took Sakura to the side and told her the same thing and she cried more than before, Sasuke comforted her until she went into the classroom like nothing ever happened and was smiling again.

I still felt responsible for the heartbreak and distress Sakura was feeling. I did not do anything to cause it but I felt that if she knew earlier and believed me, she would of been over this a long time ago and it could take months for her to get over it even years for this extreme sorrow to go away. I wish I could of stopped it all from happening but I knew I could not do that, Sakura had to get better on her own. It would be hard and long.

It seemed the world had just stopped and I was still moving in it.

End of Flashback

Sakura had not even gotten over the incident for two weeks, she sat alone from the people she sat with and Ino only made it worse by provoking her. She seemed to be getting better with dealing with situation and she began to eat her lunch quietly, Hinata noticed that Sakura was by herself and decided to comfort her as best as she could. Hinata tried talking as best as she could and Sakura listened as she did this.

"Um, Sakura. People are worried about you...Are...you okay?" asked Hinata. "You look sad...I'm sorry if I'm bothering you..."

"Oh, don't worry about Hinata. Thanks for coming to see me." Sakura smiled weakly. "Oh, Hinata. I can't stop thinking about Sasuke...I'm just shattered..."

"He broke up with you? Oh, I'm so sorry...it must be so sad to have that happen." Hinata did not even know how it felt to be rejected or have something like this happen, she sat next to Sakura as she cried into Hinata's jacket. "It's okay, Sakura...Please don't cry, I know this hasn't...been easy."

"I feel so worthless, I have regret because I should listened to Rock Lee and it wouldn't have hurt so bad." Sakura clung to Hinata as she hugged Sakura, the comfort was high. "...I can't let this take over, I've got to be happy for what's happening now but I..."

Sakura had a breakdown, the tears seemed endless. It was like she was at Sasuke's funeral and she never saw him for the last time, Naruto even noticed that Sakura was in depression. It hurt to see her cry and be sad when she could be happy and having a fun time, it was not like Sasuke had said in a mean way, he said nicely and was also upset that he had to do it. Sasuke could not take seeing Sakura like this, he said that training had become difficult for her and she had no will to do it anymore for now.

Hinata tried every way to stop Sakura from crying, Naruto came over and comforted Sakura. "Look Sakura, I'm sorry that this happened to you and Sasuke really is upset."

"I know he is...Naruto, I can't get over this...it's like I've lost a part of me." Sakura shifted her view to me, I looked deeply into her eyes as she turned back to Naruto. "I don't know how I'll ever get over this, Sasuke is someone I was devoted to and to learn that I can't be with him is a heartbreak in itself."

I began playing around with my food, I did not know how to comfort Sakura or talk to her in the way I wanted. She seemed distressed to the point where I think help was out of the question for anyone, Kakashi had tried talking to her but she never could finish her sentences without sadness intervening the conversation. It seemed to be out of everyone's hands and let Sakura get better on her own which seemed to be the wrong thing to do. I walked out of the lunchroom and bumped into Gai-Sensei, I needed some advice.

"Hey, Lee." Gai replied. "So, how are things going? Anything new happen? It seems like you're bothered by something...It's one of Kakashi's kids isn't it?"

"It is Sakura, she is having problems." I replied. "Her boyfriend broke off their relationship and she has not been her self lately, I do not know how to approach her."

"Wow, I didn't think she'd be sad for this long..." Gai looked at Lee. "So, you need advice. Lee, I think you should talk to her and make sure you're around her a lot so she feels like she has support, you could even get her for date if stick with it."

"Really Gai-Sensei? Do you think that will actually happen?" I asked, my eyes full of excitement. "Then I will do it, I am going to make Sakura happy! I want her to be happy." I began running down the hall back into the lunchroom. "Thanks, Gai-Sensei!"

"Anytime, Lee. Anytime." I looked back as Gai-Sensei gave me a thumbs up, I did it back and entered the lunchroom. Sakura had her head down, she did not want to see anyone but I was going to show her something that would make her so happy she would have to stop being sad. I did not know how to do this but I still wanted to give it a try.

"Sakura, I know you have not been yourself lately and I want to cheer you up..." I smiled but Sakura would not move her head away from the table. "Look Sakura, you do not have to let this beat you. If you need help or support come to me and I will help you."

"...I don't feel like talking to anyone right now, Rock Lee, why do you want to help me?" Sakura lifted her head off the table. "It seems like all the support I get...it isn't enough for me, I don't get why you still want to help me."

"Look, you have been this way for weeks. This is not good for you, try and smile a little bit or do something to take your mind of this sadness. Come on, Sakura."

"...Lee, will you help me?" asked Sakura. "I just need someone to talk to and Ino isn't someone I want to associate with right now. Will you help?"

"Sure. I will help you get through this...Sadness is the enemy and we can make it better, Sakura." Sakura sighed and cracked a half smile, It felt good that she was trying. "See, you are already trying to improve, I will have you better in no time."

The bell rung as I waited for Sakura at the door. She quickly grabbed her things and walked beside me, we stopped to sit down. She put her head on my shoulder so I could comfort her, she was beginning to trust me and it was good that I was helping her.

Please R&R.
