AN: Sorry it took me so long to update. We've been swamped at work, so I haven't had time to do anything. For this, I've decided to upload 2 chapters instead of one. :) Enjoy!
Warning: There is some foul language at the end. This is rated M for a reason, and that reason will be in these last few chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto! Dx
I stumble around blindly as Sakura leads me to her car. She blindfolded me when she came to pick me up around 7:00 for my party. She could have at least waited until we got to the car… We drove for what seemed like hours, but was no more than 10 minutes, until we came to a stop and I was pulled from the car and lead away. I could already hear music thumping and the sweet delicious smell of ramen as we came closer to the party. I don't know how she did it, but man am I grateful for her help. I don't even know what's going on and I already know this will be the best birthday party ever!
I am lead through a door and then we come to a stop. I feel Sakura behind me as she reaches up to un-blindfold me. I can't help the shiver that runs down my back. Light finally hits my eyes again, and I have to squint a little at first. I cannot believe what I see when my eyes finally adjust. We're in a big fancy hall, Ichiraku and some other restaurant have tables set with plenty of food, and Shino has all his DJ equipment set up and playing. There are so many people, I almost faint. This probably cost a fortune to put together!
"Are you going to stand there with your mouth open, or are you going to party, birthday boy?" Sakura winks at me and heads off to do some partying of her own. I stare for a little bit longer before heading over to the ramen stand. I don't even have to ask as the owner hands me my favorite dish the moment I get there. Definitely the best birthday party ever!
There are so many people here that I don't really know, so it's hard for me to find my friends amongst the crowd. Eventually, I spot Kiba and Hinata standing off to the side, but they look… busy… so I decided to not bug them, and continue my search for Sasuke. I can't even find a trace of him, and it really bums me out. But then my favorite song is played, and I am instantly cheered up.
I party hard as the night goes on, but the longer I can't find Sasuke, the harder it is to be happy. He's my best friend. He should be here. Even if he's not exactly sociable, he's never missed my birthday. Finally, after hours of search, I spot that familiar black hair. I'm about to make my way over when familiar pink hair stands in front of him. I move to see what's going on, only to regret I did. I see Sakura fling herself onto Sasuke and kiss him like it was going out of style. I'm not sure who I'm more hurt by; the love of my life, or my best friend. Maybe that's why he was acting weird this morning. He didn't want me to know about him and Sakura. Bastard. I'm not even aware of my actions as I run out of the hall and into the worst storm of my life. Literally.
The rain is pouring down and the thunder cracks above my head. How didn't I hear this inside? I can't even hear the music out here anymore and I'm right outside the door. I start freaking out because I realize that I'm trapped in the middle of a storm with nowhere to go. Sakura drove me here, so I can't drive home. And I can't go back inside and face those two. And I definitely don't want to just stand here, but I don't know what else to do. Until a familiar weight lands on my shoulder. I turn around and Sasuke's there looking worriedly at me. I don't know why, but it pisses me off and I take a swing at him. He grabs a hold of my hand to block me and starts pulling me towards his car. I don't really want to fight him, so I let him. There's an awkward silence once we get in his car.
"You mind telling me why you tried to punch me? I don't remember doing anything to upset you on such a happy day." Straight to the point as always.
"You know what you did."
"No, actually, I don't." He glares at me and I glare right back.
"Oh. So you conveniently forget that you and Sakura, the girl you know I love, were just making out not five feet from me. Bastard!" By the end of it, I'm screaming and I'm sure my face is red from the effort.
"It's not my fault! She jumped me. I was looking for you and thought she might have seen you! Then she just fucking kissed me! You really think that I would have kissed her? I never even so much as look her way if I can help it. And you assume that I was okay with it! You didn't even ask."
"Fuck you, bastard. You don't have to lie." I don't even know why I said it. I knew he wasn't lying, but still it just came out.
"I'm not lying and you know it, moron. So fuck you! You know damn well that I don't like Sakura, and you know why? Because I love you!"
