Chapter One: Walking Away
I remember it so clearly, the door opening, and the door shutting. The silence that came after it. All of it. I remember with such pain in my heart I wish I could turn back time and redo it, so much differently. This time I wouldn't leave. I wouldn't leave the man I have loved for years. The man that has always been there, no matter what happened to me, or to the both of us. He loved me unconditionally and I left him.
I couldn't do it. I couldn't be what I needed to be, what he needed. I had to get out. To get away. I wasn't ready to settle down, to never know what could happen, what could be.
So I left. I left my past behind me and left. My one true love and the reason I left in the first place… My beautiful baby boy. My little Satoshi. With his blonde hair and my green eyes, he was like a godsend. A miracle… but I couldn't do it. He didn't deserve a mother who will always look at him and wonder what could have happened if he hadn't been born when I was only 19.
At such a young age I was naïve and didn't know what I wanted. How could I? I hadn't seen the world.
So I left them behind. My love and my beautiful baby. All I have left of them is a single picture in my purse. The day of Satoshi's birth; Naruto holding him in his arms and the look of pure wonder on his face brought tears to my eyes each time I saw it. But it was my saviour, because I knew one day, one day I would be ready to return to them, to return to my family and my friends… if they would have me back after such an act of betrayal.
I would keep on dreaming, keep on my path until I finally knew I was ready to settle down and there were no more 'what if' s in my mind.
I will come back Naruto, so wait for me… wait for my return.
