The Great Escape

They were best friends. No matter what life would throw into their way. No matter how bad life got, what battle's they had to face.

Two with terrible past's. The other that kept them glued together.

The sleek black car pulled up to Sakura's house near midnight on a cool Friday night. The tinted widow rolled down to revel a dark-haired teen in black jeans and a red t-shirt. In the passenger seat was a blonde boy wearing a blue sleeveless shirt and ripped blue jeans.

She mimicked their smiles and popped open the back seat's door and slide herself in. Her black shorts and green tank top making her pink hair stand out.

They tore down the road and pulled up to a run-down house. A red-haired boy climbed out of the second-story window and rushed to the car. His black cargo pants and AC/DC shirt sliding in with the rest of him as Sakura opened the door.

The lights in the house clicked on suddenly and they laughed as the Sasuke put his foot on the gas and sped down the road.

Naruto reached over to the radio and pressed the CD button on the complicated device.

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Gaara reached into the small fridge under his seat and pulled out 4 bottles of beer. He tossed one to each of them and opened them up.

Sasuke rolled down all the windows and let the New York City air rush into the car. He glanced back as Sakura started laughing and the usually stotic Gaara flip someone random person off on the sidewalk.

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

They pulled up to a shop and filed out. Sasuke pulled out his wallet and told them to grab a couple pairs of cloths.

Sakura gave him a big hug, then took Gaara's hand and tore down the aisle. Naruto and Sasuke not far behind.

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive

After the shopping was done, they grabbed a quick bite to eat and hoped back into the car at the sound of the police sirens.

Sakura stuck her head out the sun roof and lifted her arms wide open, looking down and grinning widely at the red-haired boy beneath her on the seat.

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

They were almost out of the city, it was just a few more miles and their horrible lives would be thrown behind them.

The constant worry of being molded and transformed to the liking of his parents. The orphan with no decent education, home or family. The smart popular girl who wanted the wild freedom she craved. The abused son of a drunk man and outcast of his school.

The past was rushing through the ears and out the open windows. Caution to the wind, the world a blur in their eyes.

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

It had been Sasuke's idea to hit the road and fly free. It had been Naruto's idea to settle in a different town. It was Sakura's idea to at least grab some cloths on the way. It was Gaara's idea to grab her and kiss her.

Naruto threw his head back and laughed as he took in Sakura's both shocked and pleased look. Sasuke grabbed the front of the blonde shirt and planted one on him as well.

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

The red and blue flashing lights were a distant blur in Sasuke's rearview mirror. The large mansion, the cardboard box, the homey yellow house, and the run-down apartment complex, were all one big mistake.

Just a dot behind them as they traveled the distance down the long highway. Just an obstacle they had to push through to make the great escape.

So, tell me what you want and if you liked!
