A/N: Shikamaru hopes Ino can pull herself together. He doesn't want to be invisible to Ino anymore. Let's see what he thinks about this situation.
-Shikamaru's P.O.V-
"It's over, I'm through."
"That isn't the first time you've said this, Ino."
"I mean it this time; I'm through with him."
I want to say I don't believe you; You pull this shit with me every time. You say it's say you're say you can't do this say you quit.
But as soon as he says sorry; as soon as he buys you fucking flowers, fucking chocolates, fucking shit to win you over,
You say he's say he's "just hurting."
You say he loves you.
I know that is a lie; why the hell can't you see that, too?
He has you wrapped around his finger; the middle one, at that.
He could care less about you,
But I can't tell you that.
I take a long drag.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
"Ino," I start out slow. "You have to mean it this time."
I won't let you hurt yourself again.
"Don't worry, Shika, I do, I really do."
"Promise me, Ino."
Promise me you'll never go back.
Promise me you'll leave him,
I want to tell you he isn't good for you.
I want to tell you you're better without him.
I want to tell you I want you with me.
Oh God, do I want you with me.
He doesn't love you like I love you,
And that's a fact.
"I promise, Shikamaru."
I sigh; took another drag.
You better mean it this time.
