Chapter One: Stabbed in the back

"Are you sure this is what you want Sakura?"

"At least tell us where you're going!"

"Don't leave us Saku!"

"We love you."

Pleading eyes begged Sakura to stay but the pink haired girl couldn't let herself be swayed. The heart she held in her chest was slowly dying of heartbreak and betrayal and the only thing she could think of to cure it was to leave everything she knew behind and start fresh where nobody knew her then maybe at some point she'd be strong enough to come back and face everything and everyone who had ever hurt her.

"I have to go guys, my mom got a new job and I can't stay here alone," Sakura said calmly, pulling the last of her bags out of the car and putting them into the trunk of her mom's blue PT Cruiser. "I'll come back to visit soon though!" Sakura knew she was lying through her teeth she just wanted to get out of town before-

"Sakura, baby, you're being an idiot. You can stay with Ino or Tenten instead of moving," Sasuke said rather rudely as he walked up the drive way.

Sakura tried her best not to snarl at the teenage heart breaker, her 'beloved' boyfriend, who was constantly breaking up with her, cheating on, her and even belittling her in front of her friends.

"My mom doesn't trust them," another lie.

"W-What about me?" Hinata stuttered, raising her right hand in the air slightly, "I'd love to h-have you at my house."

Sakura gave the innocent girl a smile, "You know I can't Hinata, Neji lives at your house and you know that's not going to happen."

Sasuke walked up to Sakura with a grin, "If you move, then we're over for good." he told her confidently, believing this would stop her from leaving.

The pink haired girl glared at her boyfriend and let out a hollow laugh, "Sasuke, you're only with me because I haven't had sex with you and you like a challenge. I'm done being used for your own selfish gain. We are done, forever, and this time it was me who broke up with you." Sakura felt herself get more confident and she smiled, knowing for once he was the one who would be hurt instead of her.

"I've been cheating on you with Ino this whole time anyway." he informed her with a real laugh as we walked away casually pulling Sakura's 'supposedly' best friend with him. Ino shot Sakura an embarrassed look before walking away with Sasuke. Sakura felt what was left of her bruised heart shatter as her smile fell.

"Sorry that we didn't tell you, we just didn't want you hurt." Tenten said stretching out to hug the saddened girl.

"Wait, you all knew?" Everyone nodded with sullen expressions, except Naruto who probably didn't notice the signs were right in front of him.

"Leave, all of you, I don't need you guys anymore." Sakura told them pulling out her cell phone so that she could change her phone number before all of her 'friends' could text her apologies and excuses. Her friends all looked at her with sullen expressions as she climbed into the car to wait for her mother. One by one the group slowly trudged away. Sakura stole one last glance up at her the people she thought she could trust, her eyes landed on a bawling Naruto. She felt a twinge in her heart for the boy who nobody really understood. They had been friends for the longest time.

"Ready to go, honey?" her mom asked, sliding into the car with a smile. Sakura nodded and leaned against the window, still watching as Naruto sat down on the drive way. He looked up at her with pleading eyes as the car pulled out of the drive way.

Sakura felt a pain in her heart, "Wait," she told her mom quickly, "I forgot to give Naruto a hug," The car stopped and Sakura quickly got out. Naruto got to his feet and the two friends ran towards each other.

"I didn't know!" he cried, throwing his arms around her, "If I did you know I would have told you."

Sakura felt tears in her eyes, "I know, Naru. We'll keep in touch, we'll talk every day. As soon as I change my number I'll text you, I promise."

"Can I visit you? I know you won't be coming back anytime soon, but I'll find a way to come see you." He whispered.

Sakura nodded her head and kissed his cheek, "You'll always be my best friend Naruto, bye."

"Bye," Naruto whispered. Sakura ran back to the car and felt tears falling to her cheeks, realizing everything she once knew, was over.
