Hey guys! I know I took long to upload this chapter and I'm sorry.

Disclaimer: Really? We're gonna do this?

Without further ado...

Fix Me.

Chapter 2: Sick Addiction.

Sakura's POV:

Great, now he knows. He saw them. Why? I'm in deep shit.

"Hey, Sakura." Naruto said. "How are you?"

"Hi, Naruto. I'm fine." I lied. "And you?"

"I'm as great as ever."

I spotted Sasuke coming towards me.

"Naruto, I have to go. I'll see you later." I said, and rushed off to the girls' bathroom before Sasuke could reach me. I slipped into one of the stalls, and took out a band-aid from my bag. I pulled down my pants a bit, and placed the band-aid on the new cut on my thigh I had made at home in the morning. Why did I do it?

The bell rang and I went to Kakashi's class. I sat two seats behind Sasuke so he couldn't talk to me.

"Okay, class…" Kakashi continued, but I dozed off, still aware of my surroundings and what was happening.

I wasn't chosen to do anything in front of the class, for which I was glad, because my thigh was still a bit sore. After the class ended, Ino came up to me and said

"Congratulations on the lead in the new play, and guess who's your love interest?"

"Who?" I asked.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned a bit to look at who it was.

Sasuke.

"Me." he said.

Fuck.

I reached rehearsals just in time, so as not to confront Sasuke.

"Sakura, you're here, great. Now we can start." Kakashi said.

After practicing for some time, Kakashi said

"Good job everyone, let's take ten."

As soon as he said that, I ran off.

Sasuke's POV:

As soon as Kakashi told us to take a break, I saw Sakura run off. I followed her into the janitor's closet.

"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked me.

"Oh, nothing, I just thought this was an entrance to Narnia or something." I said, nonchalantly.

"Ha ha, very funny." she said, in a fake scowl. She looked cute.

I shook my head to tell her the real reason I came here.

"I wanted to talk about those…cuts." I said.

"Oh, don't worry about them, it's just something I do I'm sad." she said.

"Sakura, self-harm is not the key." I said.

"I have to go now."

"So, I'll talk to you after rehearsals?"

"Okay."

After rehearsals, Sakura ran off immediately. I didn't know where her house was, so I couldn't just swing by. So I had no choice but to see her on Monday, as I had a feeling she wouldn't be picking up my calls. Just then, Naruto, Sakura's best friend walked up to me.

"Hey, Sasuke, there's a party at my house tonight, wanna come?" he asked.

Naruto was Sakura's best friend, so of course, she would be there.

"Yeah, I'll be there." I answered, and took his address.

This was the first ever Konoha Arts party I'd be going to, and just because of this girl who I met just two days ago.

Sakura's POV:

I had been merely an hour at Naruto's party and I was already drunk. I was going down the stairs when I tripped. I laughed.

"Oh boy, this is so fun." I giggled.

"Sakura?" I heard someone call my name. Since when did my name sound so funny? I laughed more.

"Sakura, what happened?" the voice asked.

"Oh, this little thing? It's nothing. You should see the ones I do to myself." I said, laughing."

Sasuke's POV:

It took me a while to register what she said.

"Let's take you home." I said.

"But I don't wanaa." she whined.

Despite her protests, I took her to my car, placing her in the back seat.

"Now, Sakura, where's your house?" I asked, but she'd already passed out. I had no choice but to take her to my place.

Then, I got thinking on the way. I didn't know anyone in school. Any girl or boy laughing might be depressed, like Sakura. I was surprised when I found out Sakura cuts. She's popular and acts happy and has good grades.

When we reached my RV, I carried her inside, and got a glimpse of those cuts, again. Some were healed. I lay her on the bed. I changed and lay down on the couch myself. I had a hard time sleeping that night, my eyes flashing constantly to the petite form of the pink-haired girl on my bed.

When I woke up, I saw that Sakura was still sleeping, so I went to freshen up and make coffee. When I came back with coffee, she was stirring.

"Ugh, where am I?" she wondered.

Then she saw me sitting on the couch and realization hit her face.

"Tell me we didn't sleep together." she said.

"No, nothing happened between us." I said, handing her the coffee.

"Thank you." She said as she took the coffee from me.

"What happened at the party?" she asked, examining her elbow.

"You fell down the stairs, hurt your elbow, so I brought you here because you were too drunk to tell me where your house was." I explained.

"Oh." she cringed. "You saw them again, didn't you?"

I simply nodded.

"Can I use the bathroom?" she asked, placing the mug of coffee on the nightstand.

"Sure." I said.

Sakura's POV:

I went in his bathroom and freshened up. Now I had no more panda eyes. I went outside and sat on his bed.

"Can I stay here?" I asked.

"But won't your parents worry?" he asked.

"They won't even notice I'm gone." I scoffed.

He sat on the couch. I was glad he respected my privacy.

"Why do you do it, Sakura? Are you being abused?" he asked.

"I only wish I was. It would've been less pathetic than what I do. And, it would have been a reason." I scoffed yet again.

"You won't tell anyone, will you?" I asked, suddenly, panicking.

"I wouldn't do that to you." he said.

Something in his voice made me trust him.

He came and sat next to me and I, subconsciously, put my head on his shoulder.

"So, why do you do it, Sakura?" he asked, again.

"I don't know, it's like this sick addiction that keeps me alive."

I could tell he wanted to know what I meant by that, but he didn't ask and I didn't want to explain right now. This was the first time I'd opened up to somebody.

"Sasuke?"

"Hmmm?"

"You're the first person I've ever opened up to."

"Well, I'm glad that you did." He said, looking at me.

I gave him a peck on his lips, and smiled a bit. He put his arm around me.

We both spent the day watching movies and my cuts weren't mentioned again.

So,how was it?

Hate it? Like it? Love it?

One way to let me know. Review. They keep me going. :D
