Hey!
Sorry for the wait on this guys... I actually wrote three versions of this chapter for you and then couldn't decide which one I wanted. In the end I chose the longest one... which is still short so I apologise for that too!I sat dumbfounded on my bed, the phone clutched in my hands that dangled limp between my knees. He missed me enough to call me, to physically dial my number in the hopes of hearing my voice on the other end. Tears streamed down my face as I stared blankly at the linoleum floor. How could I have done this? How could I have left Sasuke there all alone like that? Sure he was used to being alone but what kind of excuse is that? That should mean that I’m there by his side all the time, teaching how to not be alone.
I hit my fists against my forehead, groaning as the pain suddenly hits me. Standing I start gathering my belongings, shoving them into the suitcase hastily, not bothering to fit them in neatly as Sasuke might have. Wrenching the zip closed I lifted the black bag from the bed and headed out the door once more, handing my keys into the weird old man at the counter as well as the cash owed for my stay, not that it was worth that much. With set shoulders I ventured out, past the decay-toothed man and out onto the dusty street, turning towards the main of the village. Surely there would be a bus there. All that was going through my mind was that I had to get to Sasuke. To prove that I still loved him, to prove to myself that he still loved me; if that was even possible now. I sat underneath the awning of one of the shops, shielding my eyes from the glaring sun. Biting my lip I stood and walked to the book store that I had visited just yesterday and bought every book that I thought Sasuke would like. With the books weighing down a white bag and my money pouch considerably lighter I ventured back outside, yawning when I spotted something that stopped my heart. The last bus of the day was leaving. Yelling and waving frantically I sprinted down the road after the bus, yelling myself hoarse as I went. The bus rounded the corner and disappeared, leaving me to slump onto the side of the road, dropping my head into my hands and fighting the urge to scream. How could this happen to me now? I love him! With that resolve I pull my phone from my pocket and ring the home number, anxiety welling in my chest as each ring passes. Eventually I hear the answering machine, in Sasuke’s velvet voice announce that neither he, Sasuke Uchiha or Naruto Uzumaki are home at the moment and to call back some other time. Blinking I hang up the phone and stare at the number, tears welling up again. I brush them away forcefully and pick up my bags once more, slinging them over my shoulders as I started down the road, determined to get to Sasuke. [line break] Sasuke P.O.V I lay in bed, half asleep as the phone rings. I can hear it but I don’t want to get up, this bed is my sanctuary. He’s gone, I know he is and he’s never coming back. And I know why now. It was me, I’m quite sure it was. It’s only logical. I’d go out and drink with Shika and then come home. Thinking about it now it hurts to remember that beautiful face contorted in such terror. He was afraid of me. I remember waking up, groggy and ill to find him bruised and bloody. I’d kind of known but I refused to accept it. I hated the thought that I caused all of the pain to Naruto. It makes sense why he left now. He just couldn’t cope with me anymore. I have to change, show him I’ve changed but how can I do that when he’s out somewhere I can’t find him? My choice now is to wait. Wait for Naruto to come home so I can tell him how sorry I am. Darkness clouds my vision as I fall back into unconsciousness once more, the buzz of the phone all but forgotten in my stupor. Naruto’s P.O.V I stumble up the road, my bags dragged in the dirt behind me. I just don’t have the strength to carry them any further. Stopping, I turn around to measure the distance I’ve walked. I’ve passed the motel but not by much. Open fields are still a fair walk ahead of me. My feet ache, my legs are burning and my lungs are gasping for air but there is no time to stop now. I have to get back. Darkness has fallen, the sky is as inky black as Sasuke’s soft hair and a slight breeze ruffles my clothes, cooling my fevered body. I need to go home. The sun rises and I crest a hill. I still can’t see the city but I can’t be far off. The bus ride didn’t take much longer but of course I’m deluding myself. The bus trip was short but the walk would be tremendous. I knew that when I started but the knowledge is lost in a brain stuck on one thing. I want to go home.Thanks for reading guys.
