~~~Sitting on a park bench staring out at a playground Yamanaka Ino reflects on her past crushes, and heartbreaks.~~~ I own nothing!~~~
He was perfect… Every girls dream, but he was too much for me. Not to mention my stupid behavior caused me to lose my best friend. Maybe I do deserve to be called a pig, but I'd have given him up for our friendship…
Then there was Mr. Hands-off. The way he handled thing was so amazingly sexy. I told him I loved him, he told me he knew, but in the end my approach wasn't enough. That player… She deserves him!
There was a few here and there, but none could mend what those two had broken. I even gave Dog-Boy a chance! All along my teammate and friend helped me through it all. He'd bring me ice cream, and chocolates on the days I needed them most. Kami knows he had enough to spare!
Even now thinking about him makes me feel better about the newest heartbreak I've faced. Never in a million years would I have expected a caged bird to cheat on me with his "Heavenly Heaven"! They'd broken up! I am a throw away, but I can always count on my best friend.
New tears began to spill from my eyes. I was a throw away and nothing more. Now I know how the Pale-Eyed Heiress must have felt all those years ago… I wish I'd have been nice to her then, so I'd have someone to sympathize with me now. Ashamed of my tears I looked to the ground, only to have two feet come into vision.
"Ino, he's not worth your tears. You still have me." My big-boned buddy pulled my chin up and whipped my tears away. Smiling at him now, I felt my inside swell with happiness. Maybe I was worth something. Not to them, but to him, and that's all I would ever need. Maybe through all the midnight talks, silly arguments, wasted time, and BBQ I'd fallen in love… Maybe I never needed anyone else.
Ya, know what? I think that's exactly what I've been looking for: a friend and love in Choji Akamichi.
