Sasuke's POV
It's been a year and a half since Sakura left. I heard that after she saw me and Karin that day she called this guy who wanted to make her a singer. She left with him and I heard that she is now a popular singer and I am glad for her. I on the other hand went to a college where the principal was a friend of my dad's and I got out of there after a year. Karin never stopped annoying me so in the end I gave in and we are together now. My mother is really upset about that but my father is really glad. I continued to work for my father with Karin as assistant. Even if those things take most of my life I still miss her. I miss Sakura so much. Ever since she left I feel like a part of me is missing. Like when she left she took my heart with her and left me with this emptiness. I feel sick to my stomach when Karin touches me and it feels so wrong when she hugs me and kisses me. Even if I want her to leave me alone my father wants me to be with her and I don't want to disappoint him. Today is Sunday and I decided relax for once so I called Naruto over. I sat down on the couch and drank my beer in silence looking at the wall. Images of me and Sakura were flashing before my eyes and suddenly the house felt very cold and empty. I heard a knock on the door and I jumped up. Damn it! I always slip like that and then I end up feeling lonely and crying myself to sleep. I went and opened the door and I found myself being crushed in a bear hug.
"Let me go, Naruto. You will choke me."
He took a step back and then he took the beer from me and went in the kitchen. Naruto-baka…
"Naruto there is more beer in the fridge if you want, you don't have to drink mine."
"Dude I thought you don't drink anymore."
"It's just a bottle of beer Naruto. It's not a big deal."
"Yeah, I remember you told me that last time too…"
Oh right, when I heard that Sakura left I started drinking and went into a coma because one glass turned into two and so on. I remember waking up in the hospital after I drank for a whole week. I am lucky I got out of that alive.
"It's different this time Naruto. I am over it. I still love her and I'll always love her but she won't forgive me. Not now, not ever."
"Yeah, now that you mention it. Why the hell are you with Karin man? She is the reason you and Sakura broke up and now you are sleeping with her?"
"It isn't my choice Naruto. My father wants me to be with her and I don't want to let him down."
"Looks like he got what he wanted… He made you his puppet. Don't you see it Sasuke? Everything he says you do. You are not even you anymore. You listen to everything he says. You start to act more like him each day. You don't even take your own decisions anymore. Look man I came to tell you that Sakura is coming back tomorrow."
I froze. This can't be true. After a year and a half she is coming back here. She will be back in town, I will see her again. But…it makes no difference. She won't forgive me and I am with Karin now. Everything is different, it's too complicated.
"Why are you telling me Naruto? I really don't care. I am with Karin. I don't want to see her." Lie. "I don't care whether she comes back or not" Lie. "I won't try to make her forgive me anymore, there is no point. We are too different. Maybe we just weren't ment to be." Lies…
"Well if you change your mind come to my house tomorrow around 7. She will be there. I know you want to see her so just come."
With that he left. She is coming back… Should I go to see her or should I just pretend I never knew her? No, I am not going. She won't want me there. I don't belong there…
Is Sasuke making the right decision? Tell me what you think.
