Oct 31

4:17 a.m.

It's so late! Or should I say early now that it's morning? I can't believe I just got home. I had the best night… and the worst night of my life last night.

The Halloween party was last night, always being on the eve of Halloween, but I didn't spend too much time there.

Well… I think I should start at the beginning… as much as it hurts to write it.

I sat by the door, waiting for Sasuke to come. He was supposed to come around three so that we could grab an early dinner before going to the party. I had my costume laid out on my bed so that I could run in and change after we ate.

I couldn't help but start pacing around my room. I was so excited to be able to spend the entire night with Sasuke. It seemed like forever since we last spent more then a few hours together.

Three o'clock came and left with no sign of Sasuke.

So he's a bit late, no big deal.

I tried playing with a deck of cards but I couldn't concentrate long enough to play solitaire so I put the cards away and started picking up my room. It was a mess and if I wanted the night to go well, I should have a clean room.

Four o'clock came and left with no sign of Sasuke.

Maybe he had to do something and it took longer then planned; nothing to worry about.

My room, now being spotless, left me in vain to find something else to keep my mind occupied.

I went into the bathroom and scrubbed it clean. I remembered that I had some candles in the closet. They would be a nice touch for when the party ended. So I started digging through my closet.

Five o'clock came and left with, again… no sign of Sasuke.

With my candles now in place, I decided I should take a shower. That way, I'd be nice and clean for Sasuke too. I quickly scrubbed myself down and got out of the shower.

Now everything, including myself, was sparkling clean.

My stomach rumbled so I heated up some ramen in a cup and ate it. I didn't think we would be going to dinner anymore…

Seven o'clock came and left… still no Sasuke.

I decided that maybe Sasuke had forgotten about our dinner plans and was already at the party, waiting for me.

I threw on my costume and headed out, leaving a note on the door… just in case Sasuke was just really late…

The party was already in full swing when I got there. I walked around, saying hi to my friends and asking them if they had seen Sasuke. None of them had. So I waited by the entrance.

I got asked to dance a few times, most of them I turned down but eventually gave in and danced for a little while. When each song ended though, I'd rush back to the entrance.

A slow song started to play. All the couples began dancing, holding tightly onto their lovers. I closed my eyes and pictured myself with Sasuke. My arms wrapped around his neck, his arms around my waist, pulling me up against him. I would rest my head on his shoulder and breathe in the smell of his sweet cologne.

Someone tapped my shoulder, breaking the image I had. I opened my eyes, praying that I would see Sasuke looking back at me, but it was only Hinata…

"N-N-Naruto-kun… a-are you… you okay?" She asked me in her shy, quiet voice like she always had. I quickly nodded my head.

"I'm going to go get some fresh air…" I said. Without waiting for her to reply, I headed out the door just as some tears fell from my eyes.

I had realized that Sasuke wasn't going to show up. He wasn't late… he had either forgotten about me… or he just didn't want to be around me anymore.

There was no way I was going to lie to myself… I had always known that Sasuke had to of had someone else in his life. I had never asked Sasuke about his sex life. He never really called us a couple either…

To Be Continued…
