Not Alone Anymore

NaruIno

Naruto's POV -point of view-


I really thought I had everything in the palms of my hands. I thought I was everything, strong, courageous, the best. I really thought I was everything she wanted, but… I guess I was wrong. Who knew… huh… she was so beautiful, someone I thought would be mine forever. I gave her everything I have, every part of me… we'll at least I thought I did. Everyone tells me it was my fault that I'm alone… that your not here with me… my fault. Yeah it probably is. Everyone knew you were going to leave, I guess I was the only one that is blinded by love. Isn't that what people say… I never thought I would say that, so cliché… so unoriginal.

It's strange though, me of all people fallen so deep in love with someone who would never love me back. We did have our moments of course. A smile, laughters, kisses… memories that I seem to cant erase even though I try. Every time I try to escape the tears that I have, they fall no matter what that's why I hide it from everyone. The pain, the heartache that you cause me when you left… when you said it was over. I always felt, no…, always had feeling for you but I guess I didn't really mean much to you.

I was so excited when you said that you'd go out with me. I was ecstatic and jumping for joy. I thought what we had was strong, beautiful, that nothing could stop this, no one can. But I should have known better. You always had your eyes on him, my rival, and my adversary. I thought when you accepted being my girlfriend; you didn't have any more feelings for him, that I could change you. What a laugh huh… me changing the way you feel… that was never going to happen. I know now because you left me for him… did you do this to spite me, do you hate me that much… do you want to see my pain, my agony? No… I guess you didn't because you weren't even thinking of me… you were always thinking of yourself.

When we go out, we would always end up where he was… I just thought they were all coincidences; I must be that stupid… you were only using me to make him jealous… but did I care… no at the moment… I at one point enjoyed it. Making my rival jealous and angry of a beautiful girl that he won't be able to take… someone I thought would be mine forever. It goes to show you that no one belongs to anyone… hearts will always be broken… at least that's what someone told me… But I lost you to him… and know I'm alone again…

WHY AM I ALWAYS ALONE! NO MATTER WHAT I DO MY HEART IS ALWAYS BROKEN… DAMMIT… am I crying… shoot! Out in the open… dang... I'm pathetic; I can't stop the tears, the pain. I am heavily burdened by these stupid memories. Your smile, your kisses… your touch. Dang get out of my head… my tears are falling like waterfalls… stop it! Every tears I wipe more seem to escape from my eyes… I'm so helpless… Am I supposed to live my life this way? Live in a lonely, sad, pathetic life for the rest of my life? NO Dammit! I'm going to be hokage after all, I don't need anyone! All I need is my strength… that's all… heh… I guess I'm going to end up alone as the hokage… strange… I thought differently though, but what can I do know…

"Naruto…"

Is someone calling out to me? Dang my tears are still falling, I don't want anyone to see me this way!

"Are you okay Naruto?"

Damn it! Ino is here! Shoot what is she going to do when she sees I'm crying? Probably make fun of me like she always does. She always hated me. This will probably make her happy, especially knowing her best friend/rival broke my heart… dammit!

"Naruto look at me."

Why is she here anyways, sitting next to me. Can't she just leave me alone? I want to tell her to leave but my voice… she would know I've been crying. Her hand… its one my shoulders now. Dang she is trying to get me to look at her but I wont! No way! I am not going to entertain her with my pain!

"Naruto I'm sorry…"

Sorry? For what? I guess she did make me turn because now I'm facing her… she looks sad… but why? My tears are still falling, isn't she going to laugh at me… what is she looking at… not me I can tell… wait… she looks… sad… SO STUPID! I'm not the only one hurting… that's right… she also wanted him…

"Naruto… are you okay now…"

"…I … dunno…" what the heck was I suppose to say beside this… its strange enough that she isn't making fun of me…

"Me too… I'm happy for Sakura... but…"

Is she crying… she is… its sliding down her cheeks… oh geez… she's breaking down now, what the heck should I do… hug her? Wait…

Its too late... she did it first… do i comfort her... it doesn't matter we need this...

"Naruto…"

She's crying on my shoulders now in my arms… I feel remorse for her… she is so helpless… so alone… like me… ITS TRUE! WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE THIS? I'm here hiding in my room, afraid to let my pain show… yet here she is dropping her façade… In front of me… but… why me… we really are alike… so strange… Dang… my tears are falling too… heh it's her fault... it was going to stop… but I guess its okay… I needed this moment... right? Holding her… it feels… nice… maybe we don't have to be alone… at least not anymore.

"Thank you Naruto…"

"No Ino, thank you..."

We don't have to be alone anymore… yeah... that sounds nice...
