Chapter 6 SasuNaru
You ignored me. But that's all part of the joke, right?
I'm serious. I feel stupid for acting that way. That's why whenever all that shit runs through my head I can just laugh at it. I just laugh at all the things I said.
I really don't like thinking back on the past. Because that's just what it is. It's the past. It has gone by. But... my past is what has defined my future.
I am now on medication that turns me into a zombie, because I acted like a crazy person. I have no friends because I freaked them all out. I have no brother because I pushed him away.
I close my eyes away from the his house and walk on, trying to leave the thoughts behind. It was getting colder. I trudged along the sidewalk not caring for the people who walked by or the polite smiles I received. There's no reason to care.
I made it to my house in one piece. I walked through the front door. It was quiet, except for the sounds of the water running in the kitchen. I walked through the short hallway to see Itachi letting the faucet run over a large pot. The water was spilling over.
Oh shit. I hear him mumble as he walks over to the sink to turn the water off and dump some of the water out. Hey. I calmly greet him and walk to the counter. Hey. I need to go meet mom and dad at the air-port in a few hours. We'll probably be back late.
Why can't I come? I didn't really want to go, but I felt the need to ask. Because... there won't be room in the car. After I put all of their bags and stuff in the car. I grab an apple and bit into it. Oh. I say through a mouthful. Don't eat all of that. I'm making you macaroni and cheese.
It's kind of weird but when I heard him say that I felt like he was my brother again. He used to make mac and cheese for me when I was little. Did you take your medicine? And he ruins my lovely moment by asking one of those stupid questions that I find repulsive. Yes. I lied.
I know you didn't. I have the key to the cabinet. Yes, it's true. He locked my medication up in his room so I didn't try to overdose on anything. Fine. I didn't take them. He looks at me after he put the pot pf water on the stove. Why'd you lie? I picked at my apple. I really don't know why I lied. I just did. I don't know.
He looked down at the counter. I heard him sigh. Sasuke... He pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut. Ok... I'll get it. He left the kitchen to go upstairs. I didn't like the way he sounded.
I got up and through my unfinished apple into the trash can. I can hear him walking around upstairs. I wait for the sound of the squeaky step in the staircase. When I do I look down because I know hes coming back down. I know by the way he sounded he doesn't want to look at me.
Here. He hands me two small pink pills that kill my emotions, and one large yellowish-white pill to stun my thought process. I don't want to take any. I push my hand to him. Too bad. You have to. I look down at the pills. I don't want to take them. They make me feel weird.
He crossed his arms and glared at me. He's getting mad. They make you feel better. I move my hand closer. No they don't. They-
He grabbed my wrist tightly making me cringe. He shoved my hand close to my face making the pills fall on the floor. Can't you just do something right? He yelled.
I can tell he's not really mad about the pills. I'm just not sure what's really upsetting him.
He let go of my wrist and I let my arm fall limp to my side. Dammit... He sighed out avoiding eye contact. I could see his eyes were watery. It's not like him to cry. You... finish making your dinner. He turned around and left the kitchen. When I didn't hear the squeaky step I knew he didn't go upstairs. I ran out of the kitchen to see were he went.
He was half way out the front door. Hey! Were are you going? He looks at me, his eyes were a little more flooded. I'm going to the air-port.
You said you didn't have to go for three hours. He grabbed the door handle. It's a long drive. He closed the door. I stood there staring at the door long after I heard his car drive away. My mind snapped back when I heard a splash and sizzle. I forgot about the water.
I ran back in the kitchen to see the water had indeed boiled over and was plashing water everywhere. I walked over and turned the heat off. I waited until the water stopped splashing, then turned it back on to a lower setting. I added more water then poured the hard shell noodles into the water.
I grabbed the dish towel that was draped over the sink and wiped some of the water up. I tossed it back over and slouched against the counter and stared at the pot.
A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I almost didn't want to answer, but something urged me to do so. When I got to the door I looked through the peep hole. I saw gorgeous blonde locks as bright as the sun. I jumped back not knowing if what I was seeing was real or not. I stood there for a few seconds before I opened the door.
The smile that I had worn unknowingly melted away when I saw that no one was there. I stepped out and looked both ways down the sidewalk. I saw the same blonde locks pedaling down the opposite way. I turn around to go back in, but stop when I feel something under my foot. I look down to see a folded paper. I picked it up and opened it.
'We need to talk. Meet me in the hide out at 10 tonight. -Naruto.'
This is a joke right?
