| Part 17 |

It was already morning and you were still sound asleep until the door bell unexpectedly rang loudly. You abruptly shot out of bed then sped out of your room, who ever that it was, was gonna have to wait. You slowly made your way to the front door rubbing your baggy eyes. By the time you opened the door, your mouth dropped to the ground seeing the Uchiha in front of you.

Why the fuck was he here out of all people and why the fuck now?

You glared daggers at the Uchiha then at once venomously slammed the door in his face. You heard his disturbing voice from behind the door "Quit being a damn child and open the door, I just want to talk" You hissed from behind the door as silence quickly made it's way into the conversation, you had no intention on speaking with him

"(Y/n), who's at the door?" Your father's voice said as he walked into the same room as you "An asshole" You spoke lividly, it was loud enough for Sasuke to hear which emitted scoff coming from him from behind the door.

"Whoever it is, you have to answer" your father said as he went to open the door.

Once he opened the door, his eyes widened at the sight of him. You crossed your arms also shifting your gaze away from it. You absolutely didn't want to meet his cold eyes. "Are you here to see someone?" asked your father to Sasuke calmly

The Uchiha laid his eyes on you, you didn't bother look back at him. He sighed then turned back to the parent in front of him. "Yeah, I'm here for (Y/n)" you tittered arrogantly at his words then started to walk towards the kitchen.

By the mocking sounds that emitted from your mouth, it told him that this teenager in front of him was the one that put you in this state. "Hm, for what reason in particular?" He inquired "So?"

"I was hoping to discuss it with her" The Uchiha replied

"We have nothing to talk about!" you shouted from across the room as you were making yourself some breakfast. Your father sighed then opened up the door for him "Sort out your problems with her" The Uchiha thanked him then proceeded to walk in. His first destination was the kitchen but in his path he encountered Ino "What the–"

"Since when were you coming over?" she muttered alluringly latching onto his arm tightly. He sweat dropped at her presence, he didn't have time to play her games. He released his arm from her emprise "It's not important" He said coldly, as he said that he was already in the kitchen. Ino rolled her eyes then ran after him

"It's fine to not tell me, what matters is your presence" she tittered cutely

Once you see him enter the kitchen with her by his side, you put all your attention on your breakfast and only your breakfast. Who needs them when you have food. your best-friend, soulmate "(Y/n), we need to talk" You ignore his presence just like you do when Ino is around as you took a sip of your (orange/apple juice)

"Dad, are you opening the restaurant today?" you asked avoiding his words by simply ignoring it

"Of course that I'm opening the restaurant, money doesn't grow on trees ya know" said your father analyzing the fridge for some water. Sasuke slightly tensed up at my ignorance and Ino wasn't making anything better

"Who cares about her Sasuke-kun. I'll entertain you" she implied turning his gaze towards her with a simple swift of the chin. He sent a glare her way as he then pushed her aside. Without any hesitation, he gripped onto your wrist then dragged you outside. Your juice spilled in the process which ultimately pissed you off.

You both arrived outside as you burst into flames at his interference, throwing a fit and harshly yanking your hand away from him. "What the fuck is your problem Uchiha!?" you seethed

"Just shut up and listen to me!" He spat furiously, it shut you up right off the bat. You were still seething in silence with your arms crossed. That was a signal for him to continue, before he did that he took a deep breath in order to lighten up his mood.

"I came here to apologize, okay?" He avoided eye contact with you as he explained, it was unusual for him to actually say stuff like this. You also avoided his gaze but somehow, you softened up a bit by that "I'm listening" you swiped a thread of your hair away behind your ear

"I apologize for-" He was cut off by loud shouting from behind

"Hey you guys! I found him!" shouted a man equipped with a camera. Sasuke grit his teeth at the sight of seeing intruders "Damn it–" He seethed as he immediately took your arm and dashed inside your home quickly before others come around.

You gasp at that in complete utter confusion as you were pulled into your home. You planted your gaze onto Sasuke's trying to process just what happened. "Who the hell were those people!?" You shouted yanking once again your arm away from him. He seemed to be in a bit of a panic, the beads of sweat trickling down his temples were the result of it. What the hell is going on?

"Whatever you do, don't open the door" He spoke calmly despite the tension building up around the place "Those people are paparazzi, just make sure to stay away from them" Even though you loath him with all your being right now, you hesitantly nodded your head. Things were going so fast that you didn't even exactly know how to react or respond

"Sorry to interrupt but why is there a crowd of people piled up in my property!?" Your father asked the Uchiha with distress "Why are they here?" Stress started to pile up inside of the Uchiha, he knew what to do but somewhat couldn't think straight "I think they followed me," He rubbed the back of his neck nervously "they're trying to figure out why I'm here in the first place"

You couldn't help but death glare at him, how stupid could he be to actually come here undisguised? Now he got caught and you have to pay the consequences. To think that you still could have been eating your breakfast in peace right now instead of dealing with this drama. He also made you spill your (orange/apple juice), it was so innocent for Kami's sake– Thanks a lot Duckbutt, you thought with contempt.

Ino was watching the whole thing with just hatred for you. Without even trying you always ended up getting what she wanted, she already knew how to take her revenge and it wasn't going to be pretty.

"Thanks a lot Duckbutt! This is such a way to apologize, I love it, I really do" you said with a hint of sarcasm in your voice, He rolled his eyes at you. All of this wasn't at all intentional, it was unwanted. Life had always been a bitch. "Where's Ino?" Your father suddenly asked, he looked around the place but it was to no avail.

Now that he said it, where was she? I swear to Kami, if she is plotting something behind my back. I will kill her! You thought as you started to look around the place for her. Sasuke face palmed, was she doing what he thought she's doing? If she is, we'd be having a festival of problems.

All of the blue the crowd outside the house would somewhat go wild, that was definitely Ino's doing. You grit your teeth then ran towards the front door opening it up harshly. As you expected, Ino was there

So you want to steal everything away from me (Y/n)? Let's see how you like this! Ino thought as she then started to speak "Gather up everyone! You must be asking yourselves, is Uchiha Sasuke here?" She rhetorically asked the crowd in order to create more drama "Well, you're in luck! He is effectively inside this very house"

"Ino, what the hell are you doing!?" You asked furiously, why was she making everything harder for you? You thought blocking the entrance of your home. Paparazzi were taking pictures left and right hoping to eventually get some news. "This is revenge (Y/n), I don't regret one bit of it." She stated lividly, clearly expressing her hatred.

The corner of her lip curved upwards as it formed into a smirk then turned back to the reporters "I heard that this girl here–" Ino harshly dragged you towards the crowd of people, pointing a finger at your head. You gritted your teeth harder seething in the process at her doing "Is dating the famous Uchiha" she lied obviously hating her choice of words but she knew that people wouldn't approve of it, you'd be stuck with so many complaints and harassment.

Your panic meter shattered into pieces. You had an absolute envy to argue with her which you were about to do when Sasuke walked out the house standing right next to you, he placed his left hand on your shoulder then gripped onto it tightly. You turned over to him with confusion "S-Sasuke–"

He interrupted you. He had no choice but to confront the reporters. One of them would approach him "Is it true that you're dating this girl?" The Uchiha frowned at the question, he focused his gaze towards you as you did same.

Beads of sweat dropped down your temples. None of this was true, not one thing. It was false to the very end and he knew that very well. If he ever thought about taking Ino's lie into consideration, You would never forgive him, he would never talk to you or even worse see you again.

He sighed then turned back towards the reporters, he intended to tell the truth and only the truth "No, we're not dating" He was clearly hurt but made sure to not show it, It wasn't worth it and especially not in front of them.

You grinned at him for making the best choice, he finally decided to give in and to take my needs onto consideration first before anything else. Ino crossed her arms, she wanted her revenge! "How can you explain this then?" Ino took out her phone then showed a picture of their kiss, The crowd went wild with such juicy information

"How can you explain that?" Questioned the reporter

You immediately snatched the phone away from her in panic, you weren't expecting her to show that picture. You never knew that she was capable of it.. "I-It wasn't intentional–" You uttered when he cut you off once again "It was my fault but I don't regret it" said the Uchiha turning to you once again this time with warmth "You already know how I feel (Y/n)"

You shot your gaze towards the ground, he knew that you didn't exactly feel the same. Well, you liked him but you weren't sure to what extent. "I-I know that.." As you said that, the police siren alarmed you and the others especially the reporters.

The police finally cleared out the area, you could at last Rest In Peace. The weight that was on your shoulders dropped and you felt great about that. Sasuke on the other hand wasn't in the best mood.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry for not giving you the time to adjust" he said over gritted teeth. "I dislike it when people joke around with me" you sneer at him apathetically "Continue"

"The truth is, I wasn't expecting you to act that way," He sighed spitting out the last part silently "I unintentionally let out my anger on you and I'm sorry" you finally look over at him but the cold look never left your face, it wasn't going to leave anytime soon. You sigh in order to let out steam "Apology accepted"

"It doesn't mean that I'll go easy on you" you asserted.

"Anyways, I-I'll uh be going.." you said as you started to make your way inside your hope. Before you started to leave, he took your hand preventing you from leaving "(Y/n) wait" You stopped walking once he took possession of your hand. You suppressed the blush that crept up your cheeks "What?"

"See you at school?" said The Uchiha. You smiled at bit at that as you nodded at him "Of course"

He grinned, satisfied with the response. He let go of your hand as you both parted ways
