Disclaimer: Naruto don't belong to me

A/N: I just felt like writing today, sorry for any errors, it's a bit heavy-hearted, but it is what I felt like writing so enjoy and leave a review if you'd like to.

Things aren't how it should be. I know this because I saw it all, how it should be.

He was supposed to be happy and so was she, I was supposed to be there. He smiled and she laughed when they were together, but behind closed doors, I saw it all. The sadness, the longing, the pain, the truth.

I saw everything, I felt everything and I heard everything, the whimpers on a cold lonely night and the silent on that they didn't speak of. They both tried and it was nice to see but also painful as I wish I was there, or that they knew I was here.

September 11th at six, thirty in the morning, I felt the chill in the air, it felt different that day. Like a warning, Sasuke didn't want me to leave the bed, he insisted I skip out that day. I kissed him and teased about him being clingy and he didn't even deny it that day like he always did. Sarada was awake and ready for me to pick her up that morning as I glanced into her room, my baby was well behaved. She didn't fuss or cry as much, she was waiting for me and I thought to myself I'd see her after my early morning run.

I wanted to lose the baby fat, Sarada would be a year soon and I still had baby fat to lose, I wanted to lose it quickly too since my anniversary was coming up, married for five years. I wanted to look good in that same old red dress I had on for our anniversary before I got pregnant with Sarada.

I should have stayed in, I should have held my baby instead, I should have never left the house. It wasn't my fault though, I was aware of my surroundings, I did this every morning now since Sarada had turned four months. It was nothing new, the place was a little dark out still and the neighborhood was quiet, as quiet as it gets. It was that drunk driver, I only heard the screeching of a tire and felt the instant pain before blacking out. Except, my body never got up, my spirit did, I was still here, watching my lifeless self, watching my husband morn, my funeral, my daughter grow up longing for me.

Sasuke never found another person to love, I knew he wouldn't, he doesn't open up to anyone easily and he didn't love anyone like he did me. I heard him say this countless times at night when he was alone in our bedroom.

My best friend Ino was there for Sarada like a mother. I was proud of her, attempting to fill in my place, not replace me, but fill in. I was happy Sarada had someone like Ino to help. Hinata, Tenten, Temari even Karin helped her as much as they could. But she still looked at my picture on her birthday, on my birthday, on hard days or sentimental days, she would cry to me. Begging me to come back, they both did, they never showed each other this side though. They wanted to be strong for each other.

Things aren't how it should be. I know this because I saw it all, how it should be.

The day I died I saw our life together flash before my eyes, it was beautiful, the precious moments, another child that would never be. I cried for him, my unborn child, my living daughter, and my lonely husband. I cried even more on the day I had to leave I had to go to the other side now, to wait for him.

Sarada was married to a man that deserved her and had children of her own, my grandchildren I wish I could hold. She has grown into a beautiful, kind, loving woman, my friends did a great job but Sasuke was the one to take credit for her, she even had some of my traits in her even though I was there. She became a doctor like I was and I was proud of her.

Sasuke has grown old now and his time was near. I was thankful for Naruto and the other guys for being there for him. When Sarada wasn't around he'd get lonely, she always tried to be there with her father, he even lived with her and her own family. But when she or her husband and the kids weren't around he would get sad. Naruto always came along to cheer him up, even though Sasuke acted like he didn't care, he was happy to have everyone around him.

So I was able to leave.

I had to be there to greet him, I would be able to be with him again, in our afterlife since we couldn't spend our living life together.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it, even though it is a bit darker than my other writing. I want to expand and write different sceneries and plots. Follow / Fav for more chapters and leave a review if you want.
