Sasuke kept trying to call Naruto, but he wouldn't answer. It was dark now, they had been driving for seven hours straight, they had another three to go and Sasuke was afraid that they were going to be too late. "Deidara, have you figured out how to locate Naruto's cellphone?" Itachi asked. "I almost got it." Deidara had been working frantically for the past hour and a half.
Sasuke was shaking, he didn't know what he would do if something happened to Naruto. He made a mistake by not calling off the wedding sooner, but he was scared. He was so angry with himself. He finally got the courage and it might be too late.
"I got it!" Deidara yelled from the back seat. "Where is he?!" Sasuke yelled. "The signal is moving, so he hasn't done anything." Deidara sighed with relief. "Hurry up Itachi!" Sasuke yelled as he dialed Naruto's phone number again. "Sasuke, I cannot drive any faster!" Itachi yelled. "STOP!" Deidara screamed. It grew quiet. "Naruto is in a very weak state of mind, he's dealt with depression for years, we are all scared, but we need to keep calm and focus on driving. We still have two and half hours to go." Deidara said. Sasuke was sitting in the passenger seat, shaking, he hadn't stopped shaking. "You need to breathe Sasuke." Itachi said. Sasuke pulled out a cigarette and lit it with shaky hands, he took a long drag and tried to get calm. "Have you gotten a hold of his parents yet?" Itachi asked Deidara. "Of course not." Deidara sighed. Sasuke took another inhale and watched the lights blur outside the window.

Naruto walked down the road, smoking a cigarette, and thinking. He didn't know how or where he was going to end his life, and he didn't know why he cared. He felt numb, but deep down, he didn't know if he really wanted to die. Sasuke was the only person who took enough time to pay attention to him, who truly loved him, and who couldn't stand to lose him. Naruto didn't blame Sasuke for what happened. He knew Sasuke loved him, but Naruto's happiness never lasted long, was just upset that he had to make Sasuke unhappy with him. Naruto just couldn't shake the thought that Sasuke would do anything to get him back, but then again Sasuke would do anything to please his father. Was he good enough that Sasuke would betray his father for him? That, Naruto doubted.
Naruto walked down the hill and sat under the bridge. He checked his phone and had over seventy missed calls for Deidara. Naruto smiled when his phone started to vibrate again and it was Deidara, he ignored it of course. He let tears slip down his face and he sighed. "Sasuke…" he whispered. The cars on the bridge above his head buzzed by and he looked up, that was it, he couldn't believe he didn't think about it before, he was going to jump off the bridge.

Itachi turned down the exit to Naruto's town. They were only half an hour away. Naruto's signal stopped moving two hours ago and Sasuke was worried that he was too late. He had smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes. Deidara finally got a hold of Naruto's parents they were out searching for him. The minutes passed like hours to Sasuke and the closer they got, the more he was shaking.
"Itachi…" Sasuke whispered. "What is it?" Itachi asked. "Do you think we're too late?" Sasuke cried. "Don't talk like that." Deidara said. Itachi grabbed Sasuke's hand and squeezed. He knew Sasuke was scared to death. They all were, but he didn't know what would happen if they were too late. Sasuke would never be the same.

It was two in the morning and Naruto walked up to the bridge and stared. No cars were driving by, this would be the perfect time. Naruto looked over the ledge and watch the water flow beneath it, he knew the fall would kill him and the water would take him away. He smiled a weak smile and let the tears flow down his cheek. He gripped the ledge of the bridge and started to climb over the edge. He stood and stared down at the water, his whole body was shaking, this was it. He took a deep breath and started to take a step forward.
"Naruto!" Sasuke screamed. Naruto swung his head around and saw him standing there, tears pouring down his face. "Don't come any closer!" Naruto screamed. "Naruto…please come back over the ledge!" Deidara yelled. "No!" Naruto cried. "I said no Naruto, I didn't marry her!" Sasuke yelled, walking forward slowly. "You didn't?" Naruto asked. "I love you Naruto, I couldn't live without you." Sasuke said and cried harder. Naruto let him walk closer.
"We drove seven hours to make sure you were alright and we were almost too late. God, Naruto…" Sasuke cried. Naruto was crying too. "Please come back over the ledge." Sasuke whispered. Naruto was silent for a while. "Okay…" he whispered. Naruto climbed back over on to the bridge and Sasuke embraced him immediately, falling to the ground. Sasuke cried hysterically into Naruto's shoulder. "I love you Sasuke." Naruto whispered. "I love you so much Naruto." Sasuke said. They kissed and cried together. "Nothing is going to keep us apart ever again." Sasuke said. "I missed you so much." Naruto said.

They stayed in a hotel that night and Sasuke held Naruto a little tighter and he was so happy to have him next to him again and to know that he wasn't too late. They had a lot of things to do tomorrow, but he couldn't sleep, like he was afraid that if he slept, that Naruto would slip away from him again.
But as he felt Naruto snuggle into him more, he knew that he was there and that this was real and there was no way anyone or anything would separate them again.
