It was two days before the wedding and Sasuke was holding Naruto in the garden, his parents were going to be there any minute to take Naruto away from him. As the seconds passed, Sasuke held him a little tighter. Sasuke's parents stood by the front gate, waiting. Itachi and Deidara sat on the front porch, watching to make sure they wouldn't have to step in. "I'm hurting for them Itachi…" Deidara said. "Me too, me too…" Itachi sighed.

Sasuke kept them separated until today, this was the first time they had kissed or seen each other in days and it was a relief to hold each other.

Naruto and Sasuke were both crying. "Naruto, I love you so much." Sasuke cried. "I love you Sasuke, I can't…" Naruto cried and stopped, the gate opened and his parents' car pulled up in front of them. Naruto's father stepped out of the car and just stared. Fugato walked up to them and watched them, waiting for them to separate. Itachi and Deidara stood up and started walking down to the garden, Itachi knew Sasuke wasn't going to give him up easily.

Sasuke pulled Naruto closer to him. "Sasuke, let him go." Fugato said. "No! You can't take him from me!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto was crying harder. Fugato and Minato ripped their sons apart from each other. "No! No, I love him!" Sasuke screamed and broke free from his father's grip. He ran to Naruto and took his face in his hands and kissed him hard. "I love you Naruto remember that! I love you!" Sasuke yelled as his father pulled him away. "I love you Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as his father pushed him into the car. Naruto's parents drove off fast. Sasuke collapsed to the ground, his father left him there. Itachi ran up and gathered Sasuke in his arms and held him tight. "No, no!" Sasuke screamed. Sasuke kept screaming and Itachi knew this was all he could do for his brother.

Naruto arrived back home, seven hundred miles away from Sasuke, he was numb. His parents haven't talked to him since he's been home. He just stayed in his room, in his bed, and didn't speak.

He got up and got dressed today and walked down the street, smoking a cigarette. He went to his thinking place, one he wished he could have showed Sasuke one day. Naruto lived in the city, but he found the only private place there was. He walked down the hill and under the bridge. The moon was full tonight and shining on the river. He sat down and tucked his knees to his chest and just watched the water travel. In twelve hours, Sasuke was going to be married to Sakura. Naruto closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his cheeks.

Sasuke snuck out and went to his thinking place. He lied in the grass and cried, Naruto was here next to him not that long ago and they were happy. Now, they were apart and Sasuke couldn't handle it. He was going to be married in twelve hours and then that would be it for him. When it was said and done, Naruto was still the only one for him.

The drive home was too short and Sasuke couldn't sleep anyway. He was wondering what Naruto was doing, where he was, and if he was okay. The bruises on his ribs stopped hurting when the pain in his became too much. Tomorrow, he had to pretend that nothing had ever happened, he knew he couldn't it. Naruto was everything.

Sasuke put his tuxedo jacket on and stared at himself in the mirror, his eyes looked dead. Itachi knocked on his door and was dressed in his tuxedo already. "We're going to be late Sasuke…" Itachi whispered and shut the door. Sasuke took one more look in the mirror and walked out of his room.

They arrived at the church and the ceremony began. Hundreds of people were there, not for Sasuke's benefit, only for his father's. Sasuke stood at the altar, looking at the ground. He knew Itachi was staring at him, but he couldn't look up. The music began to play and Sakura was walking down the aisle. He looked at her, but it was more like looking through her, he didn't smile. Sakura walked up and took his hands and smiled at him. Sasuke couldn't even manage a small smile. The preacher began his speech and Sasuke wasn't even listening. He was blankly staring at Sakura, he felt like darkness was surrounding him. He closed his eyes and he was reaching for Naruto, he couldn't stop picturing Naruto. Sasuke opened his eyes and just kept staring blankly.

Deidara sat in the back, watching. His phone vibrated and it was a text from Naruto. "I can't do this Dei, I'm sorry." He read. His eyes widened. He tried to unnoticeably walk out, but Itachi noticed and he saw the phone in his hand, he knew something was wrong.

"And do you Sasuke, take Sakura to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the preacher smiled. Sasuke stared at Sakura. He stayed silent. Sakura started to frown. " ?" the preacher asked. "No." Sasuke shook his head. Itachi stared at him. "What?!" Sakura yelled. "No, I don't want to marry you." Sasuke said. "My heart belongs to someone else and there's no way I can do this, I could never do this." Sasuke said. He let go of Sakura's hands and walked down the altar. Fugato stood up, Sasuke walked up to him and punched him hard in the nose, knocking him out. Itachi followed Sasuke out.

"Naruto, please answer your phone!" Deidara was yelling. Sasuke ran up to him. "What's going on?!" Sasuke asked, frantic. "Let's get out of here now!" Itachi yelled and they all ran to the car. Deidara showed Sasuke the text message and Sasuke panicked, he called him frantically, but Naruto wouldn't answer. Itachi explained to Deidara what happened. "We're going to get Naruto right now." Itachi said and drove faster.

Naruto was crying after he pressed the send button. His phone was vibrating constantly on the bedside table. Naruto was hysterically crying, his music was drowning the sound out. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he couldn't live without Sasuke. By now, Sasuke and Sakura were married and Naruto was just going to become a memory, if that. He zipped up his jacket and put on his shoes, he was going to walk, he didn't know where, but he was going away.
