Don't own. Don't sue.

Chapter one.

Standing on the edge, she took her last breath before falling forward. The wind rushed by her, shrieking in her ear as she took speed with every passing nanosecond. Her eyes remained closed and a smile ghosted over her lips, her navy blue hair streaming behind her. She fell headfirst into the murky gray waters, the liquid flying about at her entrance. Pockets of air escaped her lips as she sunk deeper in that cold emptiness. Finally, her eyes opened and lingered there before falling. Her figure shifted and was now facing the surface. Her hair wove out around her like a web, gently flowing and masking her pale face. Her hands grasped the water in loose fists and her lips were now fully graced with a smile. Her eyes opened, revealing pearly white orbs that began to shine like clear opals. Her lips parted and moved around, mouthing a string of words without suffocation. Soon the water around her began to swirl, forming a sphere around her. The orb of water began to rise up to the surface, pulling the girl with it. When she broke through the water the orb crumbled, the water breaking apart and falling every which way. The girl stood on the water, still. Despite the fact that she was wet all over, warm streams of tears made its way down her porcelain face.

"If I had been stronger… I could've saved you…I could've prevented this torment…"

She spotted him, and a grin soon plastered itself on her long face. With glinting green eyes she made her way to him, trying to keep an appealing attitude, even before she struck up a conversation.

"Sasuke-kun!" She called out, of course, the said boy stopped and turned around, but only to give her a stubborn glance before turning away and walking again. The girl huffed.

"Sasuke-kun, I was wondering if you would want to have some tea with me! And after that maybe we can take a stroll through the town, see what's new and stuff." She piped, trying her best to make him agree. The raven haired boy remained stoic and silent as he walked his way to the convenient store. Offended at his behavior, she fisted her hands and bit down on her lip, then without thinking she grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"Why won't you pay any attention?! Why won't you talk to me? What did I ever do to you?! What makes you so angry with me?!" She screamed, anger flashing in her green irises. Sasuke tried to snatch his wrist away, but her grip was tight, meaning that she wasn't going to let go until she got an answer. The Uchiha scowled and pushed her off, making her stumble.

"It's simple, I just don't like you. It makes me sick how some girls like you can throw themselves away and dedicate their lives, pursuing a goal that'll wither away and die over time. That one characteristic that you have, is what makes me dislike you so much."

She bit down on her bottom lip as the words sunk in and set her heart aflame. Deep inside she knew that a part of what he was saying was right, but the other half was wrong. Wrong because what she felt for him was real, and it would never wither away and die like he said it would. With trembling lips she looked up at him and locked eyes.

"You're wrong."

He rose an eyebrow at this.

"You're wrong, my feelings will never wither away and die. I'll prove you wrong, and make you see how I feel, and make you accept them without resistance."

She grinned, proud with her new found confidence.

"I'll show you all the things I feel about you, and over time you'll start liking me. That's a definite."

Of course, a girl like this, challenging him in the most idiotic of ways irked him to no end, but amused him to no end. He would enjoy watching poor victims like these fall and break. A smirk graced his lips.

"We'll see about that."

I await in my cell

Waiting for you

Though I know you are dead

I will never break this promise

Made up of thin thread

I will wait for all eternity for your return

No matter how drastic the wait may be

The promise made will keep me undefeated

The promise that bound us together

So I await in my cell

Listening to the wind outside

Whispering me the death of you

I smile

And with closed eyes I see

I see the smiles you gave me

The warmth you delivered

And the happiness you brought upon my life

Nothing will ever faze me and break the promise

Not even death that will do us apart

She put her pen down and closed her eyes herself, when will her Romeo come? When would her escape come and take her away from the reality that kept her bound and chained, unable to move.

A soft smile ghosted her lips: she'll wait. She would wait and wait until death does her from the world. She would wait all eternity for her Romeo to come and save her, because maybe, if she was good enough, her Romeo would come and open her eyes, letting her see the world for what it could be.
