-Writer's Lonely Corner-
Alright!!! Finally posting up a story after such a long time. My internet is currently down(still) and though I should be finishing my English story and AP Bio essay, I've decided to take an hour half off, and type this fanfic+true story+fantasy.
This story is fanfic because it's Gaara and Hinata. True story because someone I love a lot has recently called off on us. He said I've changed (which I know is true.) We're not together because I moved here a little over 2 years ago. Somehow, we still had strong affections for each other. Just few months before summer, my freshman year, I found a guy I feel I have crushed on. Turns out, though I've been rejected by him, I still think about him a lot of my times. Fantasy, because the future is of course not laid out yet.

"Gaara, I promise to love you forever."
"Hinata, I will never forget you."
2 years has passed since Gaara and Hinata last saw each other.
In the two years, they each dated 2 people.
For about 7 months, they tried long distance relationship.
It of course worked out at first. The whole thing was new.
Then after few months, their subject started to change.
"Hinata."
"Gaara, are you sick?"
"Yea. I lent Ino my jacket and I got sick."
You never wore a jacket...do you even own one?
"How's my princess?"
"Hey Gaara, what are you doing?"
"Gaara? Are you still there?"
"Oh...I was supposed to call Ino like...an hour ago."
Since when do you care about someone so much...?
"Hey, I just got back."
"Where did you go?"
"I was at the movies."
"Tenten didn't tell me you guys were going to the movies."
"Oh, yea. I went with Ino."
"Just you and Ino?"
"Yea. She started shivering and I let her lean on me."
Gaara...I thought only we go to movies alone...
"Hey dear--"
"Can I call you back? Ino's on the other line."
"Yea, sure..."
Happy Valentine's Day...
"Gaara?"
Please leave a message after the beep.
"Hm... Happy birthday..."
As anyone can see, Ino came in the picture.
Hinata silently left.
--
A month later, Gaara called back.
"Hello?"
"Hey Hinata."
"Gaara?"
"Yea, I forgot to call you back."
"For what?"
"Oh, you called me on my birthday."
"...That was a month ago..."
"Well... Thanks for remembering."
"You had fun?"
"Yea. Did Temari tell you or something?"
"Tell me...about what?"
"Oh, nevermind then."
"Wait, wha--"
'Gaara~'
"I gotta go, bye!"
That was Ino calling for Gaara...
--
"Hey, Temmri?"
"Hina!!!"
"Hi."
"Hina, what's up?"
"Hey, I had a question..."
"Hina, are you...crying?"
"Hm, yea..."
"What's wrong?"
"Gaara..."
"What did Gaara do!?"
"Is he...really with Ino officially now?"
"Hina, listen...I know you two have known each other for a long time and...
I just think, he's moved on."
"Alright... Thanks."
"I'm sorry."
"Nah..."
Another month passed.
"Hinata."
"Hey Gaara."
"Happy birthday."
"Ha haa, you remember?"
"Yea. So I hear you're with some guy now?"
"Ish. I just broke up with him."
"Why?"
"He wasn't right."
"Why?
"Gaara, you're with Sakura?"
"Nice way to change a conversation. How did you find out?"
"Temari told me."
"Oh."
"I knew you two would eventually come together."
"Oh."
"Well, I gotta go cry about you growing up and being a man in love now."
"I... K, bye."
Hinata was not lying. She cried.
It's been so long yet she still shed tears.
Just a while after New Year, Hinata found another guy.
This guy was way overly obsessive.
She broke up with him coldly days before her and Gaara's anniversery.
Again, it's been a little over 2 years since Hinata left.
There's this guy in school Hinata met as a stupid freshman.
*To me, ALL freshmans are stupid.*
Over summer, she decided that this time, it's all for reals.
Though Kiba had already told her that they won't work out, Hinata still likes him a lot.
Hinata knows this could be love as well.
This night, they were all moving on yet not.
Hinata and Gaara are chatting on IM.
Silent_Princess: Hinata.
Bloody_Prince: Yes?
Bloody_Prince: Don't talk about Kiba to me.
Silent_Princess: Oh...Alright.
Bloody_Prince: Hinata, do you know my feeling towards you?
Silent_Princess: Overwhelming leftover love?
Bloody_Prince: Isn't "leftover" a little to cold?
Silent_Princess: No...It's been so long.
Bloody_Prince: I went out with Ino and Sakura.
Silent_Princess: I know.
Bloody_Prince: It didn't work out.
Silent_Princess: Me too.
Bloody_Prince: They weren't you.
Silent_Princess: Neither were they.
Bloody_Prince: You need to move on.
Silent_Princess: You too.
Bloody_Prince: ...
Silent_Princess: If I never left...
Bloody_Prince: I would keep loving you til today...
Silent_Princess: And I still do.
Silent_Princess:We can still talk, right?
Bloody_Prince: ...
Silent_Princess:Gaara?
Bloody_Prince: I'm sorry.
Silent_Princess:I have to chose?
Bloody_Prince: I'm sorry.
Silent_Princess: Alright...
Bloody_Prince: Night.
Years later, Temari recieved two identical mails and one similar.
"Gaara, this is for you." She handed one to Gaara and the other to Kankuro.
"Hina-chan is getting married," Kankuro read the wedding invitation.
"I guess...she found her love..." Temari lookedd at Gaara.
"Yea, I'm happy for her," he hasn't opened his.
"You should go, man," Kankuro read the invitation again, "you haven't seen her since Neji's wedding and babyshower."
"I'm gonna call her right now," Temari got out her phone.
Gaara silently left the living room to his bedroom.
He threw the invitation on the bed then lied down on his stomach.
Pictures of him and Hinata still sat in the same frames on his desk.
They were never moved since Hinata left the town so long ago.
Hinata's stuffed animals, Hinata's hand made birthday cards...so many things from her.
Opening his eyes again, the invitation seemed to glare at him for not reading it.

To Sabaku no Gaara:

"She seemed to have forgotten about me..." Gaara thought.
"But what's with the different envelope?"
Gaara shook the envelope up and down.
A piece of folded paper stuck out of the opening.
It was the way Hinata fold all of her private letters.
--
Hey Gaara,
This may be kind of awkward for you. Is it? I actually have no idea of what to write here...he hee. Please don't think any dumber of me!
Alright, I want you to come to this wedding. I want to see you again.
-Hina

"Temari!" Gaara burst through his door.
"What? Are you ok?"
"Tell Hinata I'm going," Gaara shut his door and lay back on his bed.
Hinata...

-Writer's Lonely Corner-
This entry may seem confusing, but I did my best.
The beginning of the story, I was hoping to show readers that Hinata and Gaara were really close and as their conversations shortens, so did their bond.
Never off My Mind will end in the next chapter. I thought of alternate ending, but nah...he broke my heart so long ago... Nah, I'm letting it go.
