Wishes – Unbreakable

Author's Note: This is a Sasunaru story dedicated to a real person. Its point of view will change from time to time, and yes, most of my stories are Female Naruto based.  I do not own anything including characters because I swear, if I did, there will be millions of books instead of that.

Forget the times he walked by, Forget the times he made you cry,
Forget the times he spoke your name, Remember now your not the same.
Forget the times he held your hand, Forget the sweet things if you can,
Forget the times & Don't pretend, Remember now he's just your friend.

Prologue – Tower

Naru u. kousaka's point of view.

I got back on my feet, and I stared at Shikamaru. His concerned face plastered now on mine, and I spoke to him like him and I was very close. "Never be sad for what is over, just be glad that it was once yours." He said to me. His words were right, and my eyes were getting all watery. I feel warmth swelling up inside and I'm starting to feel my throat panicking. I'm about to hyperventilate, but unfortunately, I didn't. Instead, I cried. I thought about the Lord above, about the love he gave us.

I tried to be strong, but I heard myself, "He'll never find someone better than me!" and I started hiccupping. The rain started falling down outside the window, and Shikamaru was still silent.

I went down again. My body was on the ground again. I don't want this anymore, a simple question, where were you last night? Made everything bad, I don't want it anymore. I deserve someone who will treat me right. I felt Shikamaru's strong arms wrapped around me and his questions hurt the most, "Do you still love him?"

"Yes I do! But, I don't hear him say those things to me anymore. It's like he's a silly little boy!"

"Why do you love him then?"

My eyes widened and my eyes stopped watering. That's a very difficult question. From now on I'm going to be my own best friend. Who will I turn to? It's always Sasuke who I always turn to, he's the one who knows me very well, a thousand times I've been crying over this.

"You know this is how I feel also right?" Shikamaru asked me.

I nodded, but that didn't make me feel better. I thought about how Sasuke was my first kiss, and everything else. I know that he and I get into little fights… I sighed; maybe he's right, love is not the best thing for us. My mouth opened and my voice cracked up in my throat, "I will always love him, I just won't love the way he treated me."

Shikamaru's eyes sparkled is sadness, "What exactly happened in the first place?"

I looked away, I don't know. It happened to fast.

Ino called me hours ago, and it was 1 in the morning, I was deep in slumber until she burst through my door and yelled at me. "I've been calling you about 20 times NARU!"

I growled at her stingy voice, she was now walking heavily towards my door. Then my eyes widened when I realized that someone wasn't next to me, Sasuke wasn't next to me. Where was he?

That's when Ino suspected what happened, around 11, Sasuke already left, just after I fell asleep. Ino explained everything that happened to me. Sasuke was out with my sister, Sakura, and they were dating for about 3 months now. And Sasuke and I have been together for four years. It's horrible. Was he getting tired of me? It was the worst case scenario.

Ino showed me everything, the pictures, Sakura's phone that she left in class. It was mostly from Sasuke, and basically, I'm connected to it. His reply to her was actually Naru doesn't matter to me anymore. She changed a lot and she doesn't matter. And nothing else more than that, it was horrible. My eyes just wouldn't close. I can't stop thinking about it.

After everything else, Ino changed her mind and she said she'll stay and sleepover to stay and prove that Sasuke was out. So Ino slept next to me and I hugged her tight. I can feel my throat swelling again, and Ino felt my adrenaline running through my veins. She grabbed my hands and held on me tight.

"I love you Naru. You're like a little sister to me and I don't like you getting hurt like this. Don't you think it's time to let go? I thought you're smart enough to notice this."

I am smart enough to notice this. My breathing was out of pattern now, and I could tell that I'm going to go insane. Unfortunately, I already knew that this would happen because everything I ask Sasuke for something, he usually say something like, I have soccer practice, or I can't, my mom said that I have to go to visit her for a week or so. And it's just funny, how his excuses are so fake.

"I've noticed this long enough." I'm going to talk to him when he gets home…

And I did. But Sasuke came storming in, with pain and anger on his face because Ino left the door open. Through it all, he was also mad because I didn't tell him that she was sleeping over.

But Ino stood up for me, Sasuke meant nothing to her any longer.

"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE THIS INSTANT. You're nothing but a player. You dick ass motherfucker!" she yelled.

Sasuke laughed, and his face was drowsy. I knew for sure that he was drunk. Ino just made his day worse… I watched Ino as she realizes the same thing. She sighed, and she ran out the door, leaving me alone with Sasuke. When he and I are alone, he turns calm, and that's just what happened. I was too upset to smile "So, where were you last night?"

"Walking, around I go—"

"NO! You were somewhere else. Your car was out it's not in the garage. WHY were you out?!" I screamed. My throat was swelling again, have I been crying for a long time now? I don't know, my tears have been falling far too long.

"I was out because I wanted to practice basketball."

"Don't make me look and act like a fool this time Uchiha Sasuke. I know you're living a lie."

"Look…" Sasuke sighed for a moment. "Don't you think we've been together for a long time now? Don't you get tired of us being together? Naru we're just 17. We can experience someone better than you and me together. I don't love you the same anymore. Things change."

I laughed very vaguely, my throat started getting sore and more tears started to fall from my cheeks. Will I have to be my own best friend? Do I have to disappoint myself again? Am I not ready for the commitment? I've tried analyzing every angle and situation, trying to find an explanation but this is getting complicated. Maybe this is the day.

"Do you know how hard it is for me, to get the courage to say I love you to you Teme!? You put me in a place that I can't even explain! And this is what you repay me?" My hands flung in the air. He's the only one who makes me fairytales come true. How can someone make me so sad, but I still want them to stay?

There are so many buts, whys, and hows but it seemed like Sasuke had all the answers planned because he said the worst thing that came through his mouth.

"I never really liked your male friends; I never thought they deserved your attention. Because you're my woman, Naru, do you get it?"

"I don't like the sou—"

"Then don't, because I'm going to tell you something straight," He said calmly to me "I'll break it off with you somehow. I'm going to love you some other way."

And I realized now, that I deserved someone else when he said "Love is not the best thing for us now."

My eyes fluttered and the tears stopped falling down. I don't care anymore, he can pull me away, but he doesn't know the truth. All I know is, maybe I'm determined enough to let go, because the last thing I said was

"I'll never have a chance to hurt you like you hurt me."

Sasuke's last footstep stopped for the longest 20 minutes. "Will you still be my friend?" His voice was hopeful

My eyes are staring at the ground. I'm trying to find myself; I've gathered up all the courage just to say that. I remembered, I have to think wisely. Being hurt is the last thing I wanted to have.

"We're you cheating on me for four months?" I said softly.

Sasuke turned around and he looked at me with deep frozen red eyes. He doesn't look at me like that before, ever. His eyes stare at me genuinely and lovingly. "You're not worth telling to," He whispered softly. And right at that moment, I know that my heart cracked and it was bleeding severely. Now I knew the truth.

All this time, I was just ignoring the pain. Now I know it wouldn't be the same anymore. He won't give me something deeper, and it's final. All those excuses, sport freedom, it was all take advantage off, it was horrible. I laughed in a very painful way, and I grabbed the 10 photos that Ino showed, the one from Sasuke's phone and wallet. Everything was there, all his proof was there, kissing Sakura, smiling at the booth, holding hands, eating dinner, sending messages that are so horrible. Now I know my sister isn't worth my time also. She should know that Sasuke was mine, but I don't really care anymore.

My eyes fluttered open and my world suddenly stopped. I threw the photos just right after Sasuke left the house. My nightgown no longer mattered. My head stopped spinning round and round. My Eternal Tree's flowers are flying through, as the sun turned away with dark gray clouds.

The petals falls apart from the real thing, just the way my life is. My eyes were not staring into Sasuke's.

"Don't ever come back," I said quietly.

"Won't think about it."

And he left.

Shikamaru held me as tight as he could. My throat continued swelling. I thought about everything, but Sasuke was the only thing that was on my mind. I looked up to see if Shikamaru was smiling, but he was lost in his dreams, and suddenly, he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I broke up with my girlfriend too."

"Temari?"

He nodded at me. I laughed mentally; Temari was a very clingy girl that knew no sense of humor. Technically, she was snobby, bitchy, and lost in her fantasy. She only wanted Shikamaru's attention, when she knew that most of the time he's busy.

"So, are you moving on with another girl?"

"I have to ask her first. Her heart is pure as gold, but she's broken right now. I've been wondering if, she'll let me enter her heart."

I blinked twice, my hiccups in the center of my words; I really didn't know what to say anymore. I know for sure though, that it's my turn to comfort Shikamaru

"I'm sure she would," I said softly. I know I would.

Then softly, and gently, Shikamaru took my hands and held it unto his chest. I can feel it beating very fast; he was looking away from me now.

"Naru Kousaka, I know this is a very complicated situation right now… but can we start and build our towers together?"

My eyes sparkled in alliance, maybe this is a chance to start over.

"It's been 2 years, I've lost feeling for you Shikamar—"

"I know, I found out it's you that I want… And we have a lot in common."

I laughed, I feel like rejecting everything in this world, but I hugged Shikamaru.

"We'll see. Let's grab our tools, shall we?"

And Shikamaru smiled.
