A/N: Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated my story "Second Chance." Sorry about that. Classes started already and I really need to concentrate so I won't fail again. Anyway, this is a one-shot I made for homework in my English class. I think it is good enough so yeah I made it into a fanfiction. This is just a something to make it up to you for not updating. I promise as soon as Christmas vacation starts I'd post a new chapter for "Second Chance." This one-shot is in Tsuna's POV. This song is supposed to be for a girl who lost her love one but since in Haru and Tsuna's situation it is the other way around so just imagine that this song is for a boy who lost his love one. They are already 24 years old here. I hope you like this because if you do I'm sure I'd get a high grade for this homework. Hahaha..

Tsuna's POV
Summer after high school when we first met,
It was summer before my freshmen year when I first met her.
FLASHBACK
I was walking in Namimori Shopping District when I bumped into someone.
"Ouch."
I instantly looked at the source of the voice and helped her stand up.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't looking. Are you alright?"
"Haru is fine. Thanks for helping Haru stand up. Haru Miura. And you are?"
"Tsunayoshi Sawada."
"Nice to meet you, Tsunayoshi-san."
"Nice to meet you too, Haru-san. Tsunayoshi is quite a mouthful. Tsuna is fine."
"If that's the case, call me Haru, Tsuna-san." Haru smiled at me. I couldn't help but stare at her until she snapped me out of my daze.
"Well, Haru needs to go now. Next time look at where you are going Tsuna-san. Bye!"
Before I can even say goodbye she ran off to god knows where.
After that meeting we became close friends.
Summer after high school, I confessed to my long time crush, Kyoko Sasagawa. She politely turned me down but it still hurt like hell. I was walking aimlessly when I ran into Haru. I smiled at her so that she won't think that I have a problem.
"Hi Haru."
"Hi Tsuna-san. Can you come with me to the bridge by the river?"
'I'd rather go home but oh well.' "Sure."
When we arrived at the bridge she faced me and her face was red. I started to panic.
"Hey Haru, are you alright? Your face is red. Are you sick?" I started walking towards her.
"Tsuna-san stop. Stay there. Haru is fine. Haru is not sick."
"Then what's wrong?"
"Listen Tsuna-san. Haru likes you. And Haru wants to know if Tsuna-san feels the same way?"
'What the hell? I don't feel the same way about her but maybe I can learn to like her. I have no chance with Kyoko anyway so what's there to lose?' "I feel the same way Haru. I like you too."
Haru looked at me, smiled and hugged me.
FLASHBACK END
At that time, I just did that to move on. And I didn't know that it is one of the best things that happened in my life. I should have realized it earlier.
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day, I'll be losing you...
Haru and I had been together for quite some time.
We were each other's first at everything. First kiss and other firsts there is.
On her debut, we got matching heart tattoos in our right arm.
We would drink on the roof of the Miura Residence when her parents are not around.
We would talk about our future and plan things that we didn't even know about.
But I did something that made me lose her and destroy all our plans for the future.
FLASHBACK
I was walking back to my house from school.
'I haven't seen Haru for the whole week. I'm excited to see her at dinner later.'
As I passed the park near our house I heard sobbing and decided to see if I know that person. And it turned out that I knew her.
"Kyoko." She looked up. Her eyes are red and puffy from all the crying.
"Tsuna-kun."
"What happened to you?"
Kyoko didn't speak and just looked down.
"Stay with me Tsuna-kun. Please."
I don't know what happened but I stayed with her. Maybe it was because I think I still like her.
I stayed there with Kyoko and comforted her. I totally forgot about my date with Haru.
I escorted Kyoko back to her house.
"Thank you Tsuna-kun. Let's go out sometime, okay? Goodnight." Kyoko kissed my cheek and went inside her house.
I went home and was in a daze.
'Kyoko just kissed me!'
When I arrived home I arranged my things and noticed my cellphone.
I took it and I noticed 30 missed calls and 73 new messages. It was all from Haru.
Then it hit me, I forgot about our dinner date.
I thought about going to her house to apologize but I was too tired so I decided to go to her house tomorrow.
The next day there were no classes so I went to her house. I rang the doorbell and she went out.
"Well, very nice of you to show up now." Haru was frowning. I know she was mad at me.
"I'm really sorry Haru. Something came up and I forgot to tell you. I'll make it up to you. How about we go out today?"
"What? No! I'm still angry at you!" Haru stomped her way inside her house but before she closed the door I stopped it and went inside.
"TSUNAYOSHI SAWADA! Go out of my house now!"
"Not until you forgive me and go out with me."
"The answer is still no so go out now!"
She went up the stairs but she slipped. I caught her and stared into her eyes.
"Let go of me Tsuna. Go home now."
"I won't let you go until you go out with me."
"Fine. Let me change first." I smirked and let her go.
We went to an amusement park that day and had lots of fun and Haru finally forgave me.
We were supposed to have a night picnic in a garden when Kyoko texted me.
'She wants to go somewhere with me and tell me something? Oh well.'
"Haru, sorry but we have to postpone our picnic. I need to go somewhere."
"And where is that?"
"Somewhere. I need to go home now. Sorry I won't be able to escort you home. Take care Haru. "
I didn't wait for her response and ran off to Sweets Shop where Kyoko was waiting for me.
I instantly spotted Kyoko when I entered the Cake shop. Sweet Shop was the most famous cake shop in Namimori.
"Hi Tsuna-kun."
"Yo! So what do you want to talk about?"
"Am I too late?"
"Huh? What are you talking about Kyoko?"
"Do you still love me Tsuna-kun?"
I was shocked but I answered what I thought I feel. "Yes."
Kyoko smiled and I leaned in to kiss her totally forgetting that I have a loving girlfriend.
"YOU CHEATER!"
I was startled. 'I know that voice. ' I looked at the source of the voice. "Haru."
She was crying. "How could you?"
"Do you know her Tsuna-kun?" I stared at Kyoko then at Haru.
'I'm really in love with Kyoko and now that she is here I won't let her go. Sorry Haru.' "No. I don't know her Kyoko."
"Damn you, Tsuna!" Haru left and Kyoko and I were officially dating.
FLASHBACK END
That was the biggest mistake I did in my life.
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Kyoko and I were together for some time but all I could think about was Haru.
At one time I even remembered the pact I made with Haru while Kyoko and I were having our date.
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on
Someone said you got your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse...
Soon I realized that I don't love Kyoko anymore. Haru was the one I love and I let her go.
I broke up with Kyoko and we agreed to remain friends.
FLASHBACK
It has been a long time since I heard about Haru. I wonder how she is now.
I was with my friends, Gokudera and Takeshi.
"Tsuna, are you thinking about Haru?" I looked at Takeshi and answered him.
"Yeah. I was so stupid. I didn't even realize that I already love her."
"Gokudera, I think we should tell him."
"What is it?" I looked at Gokudera and he stared at me.
"Tsuna, I'm sorry we kept this from you. Haru is also our friend so when she asked us to never tell anything about her to you we complied and pretended that we haven't seen her. Actually we would meet twice or thrice a week together with Chrome, Bianchi-nee, Kyoya and Belphegor. They also agreed to not let you know anything about Haru. So we kept quiet. She did everything to forget about you. Even to remove you're matching tattoos. But two weeks ago something happened. Haru died in a car accident. Belphegor managed to survive but Haru died before she even arrived in the hospital."
I couldn't believe what Gokudera said. He just said Haru died. My Haru died?
"Tell me this is a joke."
"No it's not Tsuna. Her burial was yesterday."
"That's why I couldn't find you both yesterday."
"Sorry. But Kyoya and Bianchi-nee decided that we shouldn't tell you until Haru's body have been buried."
"She's dead. I'm too late. Damn it!" I cried. And Gokudera and Takeshi lead me back home.
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one
The one
The one
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price...
3 years passed and I still love her. My life is miserable. I'm rich and the most sought out bachelor in Japan but I'm missing a part of me.
I always wish that I could turn back time and correct my mistakes.
I wish I can have you back, Haru.
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away...
Right now I'm on the bridge where she first confessed her feelings to me.
"Haru, I hope you're listening. I'm really sorry. I didn't realize that I already love you. I was so blinded by my belief that I love Kyoko that I didn't even realize my own true feelings. The truth is I really love you. I wish you can come back here but I know you can't. I miss you so much. I'm miserable without you. I have everything but I know I'm incomplete and you're the only one who can complete me. You're the missing piece in my life. I wish I can see your smile that could brighten my day without any effort. I love you, Haru. I just wish I could have told you before you died."
I turned to leave the bridge. I still have work to do. I know I'll return here again. I just couldn't let go of Haru's memories.
'I miss you, Haru. I hope to see you soon.'
A/N: How was that? Was it good? Who wants an alternate happy ending? If you want one tell me. Review Please! :)
