So this is another of the "100 themes 100 stories", 096 - Writers choice - Too late.

I am using Sasuke and Naruto in this one to, it just came to me while I listen to the song "Apologize" by One Republic.

As usual R&R, pretty please? with a cherry on top?!


It's too late

I looked at him, standing there on my doorstep. Like nothing have happened, like these three years haven't happened. You hold out your hand to caress my cheek, but I step away. Shaking my head I watch as tears drop to the floor.

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound

You step inside and close the door, you walk up to me. You tell me that you are stronger now, that you can protect me, that you need me.

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

I turn away from you, never wanting to see you again. You take my hand and turn me around, into your open arms.

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

You're looking down at me, those cold eyes looking at me, through me. I can't do anything I just stand there, with your arms around me.

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you

I can hear how your heart beats; I can feel your breath on my face. I never thought I would ever stand like this…

And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...

You hold me close, not wanting to let me go. We stand there in silence… only listening to each other breathe. Then you let go of me and look me straight in the eyes, saying you're sorry.

"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

I don't know what to do, not even what I want to do. You keep telling me you're sorry. That all you ever wanted was for me to be safe…

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

You watch me fall to the floor; you pick me up and hold me tight. Telling me to wake up, that you are sorry, you rush me out of there and to the hospital, but it's too late…

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...


A/N: Well I kinda killed Naruto in this one too, I don't know maybe I just like tormenting Sasuke?! Who knows? Or maybe I am just in one of those 'moods'? Anyway, for once I am not using a conversation to get things moving... is this even any good at all? Is this better then the others? Worse then the others?

R&R
