That's The Way It Is is by Celine Dion !!
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah
So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.
Naruto read the card aloud to himself one last time to make sure everything was perfect.
"Roses are Red,
Teme, you seem blue
Why is that I've got something to tell u
For a long time I've had this secret
And now the time has come for me to reveal it to you
I love you, teme I really do
If you accept my feelings and want to return them
Meet me a locker 142 after the bell
I'll be there waiting for you
To give me a Kiss in full bloom"
After reading it a second time, being satisfied with what he read he put the card in the object of his affection's locker. Yes, he was in love, but he wasn't just in love. He was in love with his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. He didn't know when his feelings started, maybe it was when they first became friends and watched the sunset together hand in hand, or maybe it was when they shared their first accidental kiss, or maybe that horrible winter car crash when he held Sasuke in his arms. Either way he loved him and decided to confess his feelings to Sasuke on this particular day, Valentines Day.
Naruto smiled as he walked from Sasuke's locker sure that everything would go his way. Of course, He knew that there was a slight (yea right) chance of rejection. But he was certain that Sasuke felt the same way. Even if he was the most popular guy and school and could have anyone he wanted male or female, Even if he had every girl at his beck and call,and even he was male and people might think it disgusting especially his friends. But these things wouldn't affect his feelings, would they? Naruto became more doubtful as he walked into his classroom. He glanced over at his friend , Sasuke being mauled by girls. He only sunk deeper in despair as he took his seat.
"What's Wrong, Naruto" Naruto looked to see his best friend, Gaara, with a worried look on his face.
"I'm fine." Naruto said in a monotone voice.
"Worried about Sasuk...e kun?" Garaa was one of the few people other than Sakura who knew about Naruto's secret.
"No........I just........What if he doesn't like...me?!" Naruto whinned silently.
"Naruto, he's not stupid. "he doesn't hang around girls and you guys are like inseparable. " Trust me, He loves you.""" Garaa continued comforting his friend as the class went on.
"Alright, Class Dismissed." the teacher said as everyone packed up and left for lunch.
Hey, Dobe!" Naruto stopped what he was doing and quickly looked up as he saw Sasuke.
Sasuke leaned near Naruto and whispered into his ear, "Hey dobe, Meet at your locker after class." Sasuke then picked up his stuff and headed out the door.
Naruto was still in shocked at what he just heard until.... "Ouch!" "What was that for?" Naruto said holding the arm Garaa just punched.
"Come On, He ain't gonna wait there all day!" Garaa said as they both rushed out of the classroom.
As Naruto reached his locker, He was horrified at what he saw. There was Sasuke in deadlock kiss with SAKURA. He was so angry that at that moment, that he went to Sasuke and punched him in the stomach so hard that it knocked the wind out of him, and walked away. No one except Garaa saw the tears in Naruto's eyes as he left the school.
Naruto went to the only place in the world he knew he left alone. There in the distance were two unmarked graves. No one knew who they were or rather no one told him they if they did at all. As Naruto sat there on the graves he began to cry. He never felt more alone then he did at this exact moment.
But unfortunately that's the way it is
