I want to honor a friend of mine, Austin, who recently committed suicide (10/6/07). R.I.P. Austin. You will definitely be missed.
We all know I don't own this…

"He's killed himself Sakura." Tsunade informed the young girl. Sasuke had just been found after hanging himself. Sakura crumpled to the floor in tears without a word. Tsunade, on the other hand, had to save face. She couldn't cry just yet. She needed to be strong for them. She would cry later, no doubt, but for now, she continued on through the village, delivering the news. Some people hardly reacted, while others cried, sobbed for the lost life. Sakura and Naruto took it the hardest of all.
His funeral was held three days later. Sakura couldn't take it. She stayed in the back, trying to hide her pain from the rest of them. Naruto stayed behind with her, trying to comfort her. He didn't do very well. He was even more upset then her, he just hid it a little better. Inside, the pain was tearing at him. For the past few years, he seemed so happy. He had gained the trust of citizens again, and had his friends back. How could he have done this?
After the funeral, Naruto got home and his emotions came out in a torrent. He cried himself to sleep that night and for many nights after. Sakura stayed behind to say a few words to Sasuke.
"I can't believe that you would do something like this. Damn it Sasuke, we loved you, you were happy. You selfish bastard! How could you? I loved you. I thought you loved me. Why damn it? I love you and always will. Don't forget that. See you in heaven soon enough." She turned and went home. She stayed there for a couple of days. The rest of the village mourned for a little while and moved on. Inside Sakura and Naruto would always have that empty space. They would always remember.

I thought I would write something quick. Please, keep Austin Giacopelli in your prayers. If you don't pray, then just keep him in your thoughts or something. Thank you all.
And I would like to say that right now, he is looking down on us, smoking a joint with Bob Marley, laughing and calling us fags. I love you Austin!
