Prologue
Dead. All dead. The life I could have known dead. Lying on the floor, like a whisper across my lips. The hopes and dreams of a bright happy life gone like a dead man. Nothing could have changed the outcome no matter what I had done. Even now as I sit here looking for a way to erase my heart and mind, I cannot help but to look back on how I got into this situation. The predicament of how I lost myself in a fantasy that I was never supposed to wake up from. How I gave my heart to the only one I have ever loved, and ended up here.
Cold. So cold. The life I currently live frozen forever. Standing in a never ending cycle of lies and destroyed hopes. Everything I ever knew in a sum of five months was completely turned around. The life I could have had now completely impossible all because of one event. One word that changed everything. One day that altered my entire life. Even now as I look at my shaking hands and see the thing that changed everything. The steady sound of a drip that resounds around me. How I could have ever thought that anything else would have happened.
No matter what I have done I can never forget what it is I have to do. I can never change anything. This changes nothing. My pain is just another thing to add to the hatred that they have started. The pain these feelings have caused because they weren't supposed to exist. He wasn't supposed to exist. But he does, and they do.
Looking up at the trees surrounding the clearing, I cannot help but wonder if this is the right choice. If leaving him is the right thing to do. Looking back to the Valley, I cannot stop the small tears from falling before turning away again. "Goodbye Naruto. I love you."
