Song of inspiration: No Love by Simple Plan

Chapter 7: No Love

Sasuke and his parents got home after a car ride of silence. The raven had a feeling he knew what was coming. His father's eyes held anger and rage, he was sure he'd wake up in pain tomorrow.

"Go up to your room and wait for me there," he ordered and Sasuke hurriedly agreed.

The raven went up the stairs and down the hallway towards his room. 'I wonder how bad I'll get it this time,' Sasuke thought with a frown. 'I'm so sick of this life.'

Sasuke heard his father's footsteps ring through the halls as they approached his room. The doorknob turned and his father stood in the doorway with a look that was a mix of anger and disappointment. "I would suppose that you already know that you're grounded, but considering you're not Itachi, I don't know if you do," the man said.

Sasuke looked down as his father once again compared them two, making him out to be a complete idiot.

"You do realize that you'll pay me back for the damage for the car," he said as he stared at his youngest son.

"Yes father," Sasuke said as he refused to meet his father's glance.

His mother came in, "We should get going." She was relived when she saw that Sasuke was unharmed.

"Get out of the room," he ordered. A small tear trickled down her cheek, but she just gave a small smile and walked out.

"You're mother doesn't like when I hit you," he said. "That's why I sent her out."

Sasuke looked down, but soon felt a hard slap across his face, knocking him to the ground.

"You better get your act together," he said as he kicked him in the gut.

Sasuke held in the tears that were threatening to come out. He learned the hard way not to talk back to his father, 'Just shut up and pretend you don't feel the pain.'

"You're such a disappointment," was the last thing his father said before walking out of his room, closing the door as he left.

Everything that Sasuke had trained himself to keep inside seemed to come out as he brought his knees to his chest and started to cry. 'He wouldn't care if just disappeared, I'm like a bug on his windshield, and not important enough to care about, yet there so you have to acknowledge it.'

Sasuke felt the tears continue to pour out, though he didn't make a sound, his father might come back to hurt him some more.

His stomach hurt as he slowly stood. Dark eyes caught sight of a small razor in a small compartment on his desk. He looked down at his arm where many scars used to decorate them, 'Just to make it feel better.'

He slowly made his way over to the desk and looked at the razor, 'I can't.' He closed his eyes and instead grabbed the guitar leaning against the desk. The raven heard his front door close, they had left once again and that made him feel a little better. 'Just play, that'll make me feel better.'

He started to play as he thought about his parents, he had saw his mother's eyes, 'Maybe she does care.'

Sasuke knew his mother was afraid; she had every reason to be. His father had hit her when he was little, when she talked back to him. 'Ever since then she did what he wanted, like his little doll.'

Sasuke knew that there was no love from his father so he put that feeling on paper. The raven wasn't quiet sure if he was writing how he felt toward his dad or how his mother felt; it was really a mix of both. He despised his dad, yet never wanted to make him mad, when he was mad was when he hit. Sasuke could hardly even remember being happy; everything only seemed to be filled with hate, never love.

Sasuke leaned against the wall and he could feel a scar that still remained from the time before when his father used a belt. No one knew about the scars, not even his mother, his father always sent her out, she had no idea how bad it was. Sasuke wanted to run away, he wanted to just get away from his house. He knew he couldn't, he had nowhere to go.

The raven looked again at the razor on his desk; nothing else seemed to be taking away the pain. 'Maybe, just maybe , anything to get rid of the pain.' Sasuke stopped playing, bringing the song to an end. The raven got up and made his way so he was standing in front of the razor. He was about to pick it up, but his phone went off.

The raven looked at the caller ID to see 'Dobe' across the screen. 'Should I answer it?' He bit his bottom lip, 'Knowing him if I don't then he'll just keep trying.'

"Hello?" Sasuke said, trying to make his voice sound normal, though he failed miserably.

"Hey Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto asked and Sasuke could hear a hint of concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine," the dark haired teen lied.

Naruto could feel that the raven was lying to him, "Look, we need to talk, can we meet up?"

"Well…Uh…I'm kind of grounded," Sasuke said with a sigh, mostly to try to shake off the shakiness of his voice.

"Oh, okay," said Naruto in a somewhat sad voice. "I guess I'll see you at school then."

"Actually…I guess that I could sneak out," Sasuke said, really wanting to get out of the house.

"No, I don't want you to get in trouble," Naruto said, he'd seen how angry the other boy's father was already and he didn't want to be the reason him to be more angry at Sasuke.

"I won't, my parents aren't home, they'll never find out," Sasuke said.

"Okay, I'll meet you in a few minutes at the park," Naruto said with a smile, even though he knew Sasuke couldn't see it.

"Wait," Sasuke said.

"What?" the blonde asked.

"Aren't you still at school?" the raven asked, knowing that he was only off because of his panic attack.

"If you can ditch out on your grounding, I can ditch out in school, it's not like I'll learn anything anyway," he laughed.

"Alright, I'll see you in a little bit," Sasuke said.

"See you then," Naruto said before he hung up the phone and made his way to the park.

For some reason, neither boy really thought of what would happen if they got caught, they just wanted to talk to each other.
