Dazed Walking

I couldn't sleep at all tonight, so like any other night IO can't sleep I took a walk. It was after midnight when I left, and it's been quite some time so it must be around two in the morning, I suppose. You know when you think you did something really stupid and can't quit thinking about it. That's how it's been for me all summer, and half of spring. I love Sasuke, and I told him that. Now it hurts so bad just to think about his name. He hasn't talked to me, and I haven't seen him in more than two months.

Flashback-

"Sasuke,,, can I, um, talk to you… privately," I said this urgently and my voice was shaking a bit. Sasuke turned his head to me, "Yeah, sure." He walked over to me, away from the bustling of others kids leaving school to get home. We walked silently to an almost hidden pathway. Thos lead to our favorite place to hang out. I found it when I was little and ever since it's been Sasuke and my secret place to go. Not even our friends knew about it.

Following the small path we were headed to the secluded place. It was so beautiful. The many different kinds of flowers were in full bloom all over the place. The grass was a magnificent shade of light green, and some places were so tall already. Plus, the best of all was that the huge cherry blossom trees were in full bloom, and the light, soft breeze was gently drifting some of the cherry blossom buds all around us. Even the plain little wooden bench looked cute surrounded by all this beauty. As we sat down next to each other I couldn't quit thinking how perfect this truly was going to be. "This place is so beautiful, " Sasuke's voice was filled with awe. This made me blush to know that Sasuke to thought that this was pretty. "Yeah. It's always so beautiful in the beginning of spring," I said this in a calm voice. We sat there in silence as we stared in awe watching the beauty that surrounded us. Nothing could have been more perfect.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Sasuke sounded really confused. We've been friends for as long as I can remember so this conversation was going to be uncomfortable. WE always told each other everything just plain out, but this was special, and Sasuke noticed that. He looked anxious to hear what I was about to say, and that was making me more nervous than I was to begin with. I could hear my heart thumping in my ears. I turned my head slowly toward him. There was a deep blush covering my face. I was sweating, and shaking nervously, and sweat was pouring from my forehead. Sasuke didn't seem fazed by this at all. Actually he just seemed more intrigued by what I was going to say. "

"Well there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long, well, awhile now, and I thought I should tell you this," my voice was trembling, and I couldn't look Sasuke in the eyes. I was fidgeting with my hands. I had to tell him how I felt, and I have to tell him now.

Hoooonkkk!!! The car stopped as I finally realized I was walking across the street. I ran away to the side I was crossing from. The car sped away angrily, that's when I noticed that I had walked unceasingly to the street right across the street from Sauce's house. That's when I noticed it. His light was on, and I think I saw the curtain move. I'm not sure, but why is the light on this late?
