My Immortal
Ch.1: Reminiscing
Yes, she still remembers. How could she ever forget? As she's reminiscing, she's singing this song to herself and putting her pain on paper.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
There once was a girl. With bright green eyes, a warm smile, and a big heart. She wanted to be a ninja, she wanted the world to know her name. She wanted to be recognized by the boy she fell in love with. He was her world. She stood by him no matter what.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Even though she knew she was the least likely to be recognized by him. He was surrounded by girls who adored him day after day, and boys who envied him. He was talented, smart, cool, and popular. He was Sasuke Uchiha.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
He was he EVERYTHING and no one could tell her any different. But then, he left.
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
She pleaded with him, and begged him. With tears in her eyes, she refused to say good bye. Her heart was twisting into a knot that only he could unwind. If he only had a clue to about what he was doing to her. And all he left her with was a thank you. Although this was hardly enough, she knew that he was thanking her for, for loving him despite of.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
She's held on to him for years now. But something tells her, it's time to let go.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Tear drops fell onto the page as she finished writing. She wiped her eyes in her sleeve. There was a knock at the door. She quickly closed the green notebook on her bed and slipped it underneath her pillow. She opened her room door.
"Sakura, someone's here to see you." Sakura's mother says to her.
"OK mom, I'll be down in a sec."
Sakura's mom nods and walks away.
Sakura closed her room door and checked her reflection in the mirror, her eyes looked a bit red and her hair was tangled. She brushed her hair and went down the stairs.
"Kiba? What are you doing here?" Sakura asks the boy sitting on her sofa.
"Tsunade asked me to come and get you. I hope you don't mind but I am your escort today." Replies the brown haired boy named Kiba with a shy smile. Sakura smiles back, but then she notices something wrong. As if reading her mind the boy quickly says
"No worries, Akamaru is outside. Your mom didn't want him in the house." Says Kiba with a defeated shrug and a gentle smile.
"Sorry about that. My mom is not one for dogs. I personally adore them. I've wanted a dog ever since I was younger but she wouldn't let me get one."
"Hey, you're welcome to hang with me and Akamaru anytime!" Kiba says grinning and giving her thumbs up. Sakura smiles.
"I'll remember that." She says softly.
"Well are you ready to go?"
"Yup."
As they were walking to Tsunade's office Kiba felt the urge to ask Sakura,
"Sakura, are you okay? You seem a bit...sad." Says Kiba, choosing his words carefully.
"I'm fine." Sakura says. But she doesn't believe this much herself.
Akamaru whimpers, picking up Sakura's sadness.
Kiba stops walking and so does Sakura.
"Sakura, you're my friend right?"
"Yes, of course."
Kiba puts his hands on her shoulders.
"Friends tell each other when something's wrong. You can tell me, you know that." Kiba looks her directly in the eyes.
Sakura avoids his gaze. She has never been able to look him in the eyes, she always get's butterflies when she does. She's never known why.
"It's just that...I was just remembering Sasuke earlier. It's nothing really."
Although she says it's nothing Kiba knows as well as anyone else how much Sakura adored Sasuke when they were kids. Needless to say, he's always been jealous of Sasuke. Or maybe, he was jealous of how much attention Sakura gave him. Kiba frowns, and decides how to reply.
"Right now we have to get to Tsunade's but how about after I buy you some ice cream?" Kiba asks gently.
Sakura attempts looking him in the eyes. Her cheeks grow warm and she looks away again.
"I would like that."
"Awesome." Kiba says. "Now let's get going."
