Day 11: A Night With No Stars
They say only time heals a broken heart, but it never did before so she doesn't expect time to help her now. It's been years since Sasuke died, in the war, to save them. He died for the greater good, a good she's not so sure he even believed in.
He died so they could live, just as years ago his family died so Konoha could stay in peace. Uchiha's were born to play martyrs.
She wakes up breathless during the night as she often does, alone in a bed with too much empty space. The room is illuminated by the dim light of the moon and it just accentuates the fact that she's alone; she doesn't remember a time when she wasn't.
But as the thought crosses her mind she's reminded that sometimes it feels like she isn't. Sometimes she thinks she sees him, she swears she can hear him, she feels him close and with her.
Sometimes he wakes her up in the middle of the night.
"Don't do this to yourself." He says that night
With every day that goes by she feels she's farther and farther away from reality and she finds that it doesn't bother her one bit…not if it means being closer to him.
"Sasuke…" She speaks to an empty room, because she knows he's not really there but she can feel him. "I love you." She murmurs and her voice breaks as she holds back the tears.
"I know." The reply can't be true she knows, but she pretends it is anyway.
She's crazy she knows, and she's doing it to herself.
Dementia knocks on her door and she welcomes it with a smile. She's alone in her room, but this way he'll always be with her even if he really isn't.
Time might not heal her wounds, but this way she doesn't need it to, she doesn't want it to.

So I was writing this the other day at 2am and it was creepy as hell 'cause when I wrote it I swear I could feel something watching me and then my brother decides to kick my door and I almost screamed. So I learned one thing from this, don't write angst at 2am, although I don't think I'll follow my own advice.
