Later that day I finished my last class and made a beeline towards the bathroom. I was so nervous about the whole Sasuke situation that the sleep that I once craved for was what I was doing my best to stop from happening.
How did I manage to do that?
By drinking more than average amounts of water. If I didn't go to the bathroom immediately after my last class either I was going to explode or risk soiling myself in public and I didn't need that kind of reputation under my belt.
When I made it to the bathroom and relieved myself of liquified frustration, only then was I able to process my thoughts a bit more clearly and finally allow all my senses to just take a moment and relax.
I just couldn't understand it.
Where did Sasuke go?
What did he do?
Why did he do it?
So many unanswered questions spiraled in my mind and it was beginning to give me a headache and make me even more anxious. As a matter of fact, that's when I realized my situation, the bathroom was so quiet not even the sound of the outside could be heard within this room.
My breathing began to get heavier and my palms began to sweat.
I needed to leave before I started panicking, as memories of what happened last time I was in a bathroom and Sasuke was near by started coming back to me once again.
I bolted out the stall and quickly washed my hands with nothing but the water before speeding my way out the door. Once outside I was grabbed by my wrist and pushed against the wall in the hallway, I tried to move but I had already been pinned by the body of the person in front of me.
I didn't need to look up to know who it was, only the smell of his perfume was a dead give away. Luckily I came out when I had the chance or I really would've been nervous.
"Can't even look at me now?" He scuffed.
"..." I remained silent, not daring to take a look.
"Naruto stop being so cold with me. I don't like when you behave like that." He cooed in my ear as his hand travelled up my stomach and held my chin.
"Hey, look at me." He demanded.
"Ngh!" I tried keeping my face away, but he only grabbed my chin harder and forcefully tried to make me face him.
"I said look at me!" He bellowed attempting to try again, but this time I pushed him off.
"STOP IT!" My voice echoed through the halls, leaving us both surprised.
"No need to be aggressive, Naruto." He smiled while putting his hands up in defense. " I was only joking around with you."
"..."
"What's wrong?" He asked as he took a step closer to me.
"Don't come any closer." I directed.
"Why not?"
"..." I found myself speechless. It was like I couldn't even believe that I was doing this myself, nor that he was acting as if nothing happened.
"Why can't I come closer, babe?" He tried, taking another step.
"Stop." I repeated.
"What is this about?"
"You know what this is about."
"Explain it to me, cause I don't."
"Sasuke..." I tried as my lower lip trembled and the emotions in me began to stir up. "You know what happened that night."
"..."
"That night, I told you to stop. I screamed and you saw the fear within me. Yet you did nothing but as you pleased."
"..."
"I tried to convince myself that it was my fault and maybe I had done something wrong and that I should've done something, even going as far as to making sure that you weren't under the influence of anything that could've pushed you into something like that."
"..."
"But Kiba tried tirelessly to get it through my head that what happened wasn't my fault and even now as I'm saying this, I still can't believe it. But it's the facts and I can't try to convince myself other wise anymore."
"..."
"What you did was fucking wrong and I'm not the type of guy to sit back and have you try that shit again."
I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Like I've been through the storm and came right back out safely and out of harms way.
But Sasuke, he wasn't a storm, but someone I soon come to realize is a lot worse than that.
"Hm, are you finished?" He chuckled as he began approaching me.
"Sto-"
"No, no, no, you stop! Stop and listen to what I'm saying because obviously your little victory speech seemed to have gone to your brain."
"..."
"Let me make something very clear to you. On that night what happened wasn't intentional, I had gotten some weed from your brother and Kankuro and I decided to try a little, just a smidge before the movies and as we both know I apparently couldn't handle it and what happened, happened."
"It was a mistake, a simple mistake that took a far turn that it didn't need too. You made it worse by throwing yourself at me and maybe I had gotten a little rough with you, I had a thing for BDSM that I'm sorry I didn't explain to you before we got together."
"Throwing myself at you?!" I asked.
"That's besides the point. Babe, listen to me when I say that what happened wasn't my intention. I'd never do anything to hurt, you know that I love you and would never even think of something like that if I was in my right frame of mind, which I wasn't."
"..."
"I apologize that you had gotten the wrong side of me that night."
"I'd never do anything to hurt you."
"..."
"You have to believe me." He pleaded as he held my hand with his.
I could feel the heat and familiar touch of his palms radiating around my hand. It felt so comforting and secure, but the moment I looked up at his face and noticed a light scar, I immediately remembered what had happened that didn't make that incident a possibility.
Not only that, but it's because of him why Kiba and I aren't even on such good terms right now.
"What do you say?" He smiled as he leaned closer to me as if he wanted to press his forehead against mine, usually that was a sure way to win me over and for a moment it did.
But the more I looked at him, was the more he reminded me of Kiba and the fact that he wasn't the only one that liked me. Yet to teach me a lesson he was willing to allow me to do as I wanted while he stayed by Kankuro's side unhappily.
"I..."
"I know you love m-" Sasuke tried.
"No." I stated before he could finish his sentence.
"..."
"Even if it was a mistake, Kiba still got hurt because of you and now he's upset with both of us."
"Kiba? Who gives a fuck?!"
"How can you say that about your friend?"
"Friend?! Ha! You mean the same friends who talk shit about me and don't invite me to any of the hangouts? Those friends?"
"..."
"I'd be better off by myself, and you know the thing is that I thought you were different. They always tell Sakura some bullshit to try and get between us and make her question herself but I thought that it wouldn't work on you."
"Sasuke-"
"No, you're telling me about what Kiba feels. What about how I feel? You're with me, not him! It's like you care about him more than me now."
"That's no true it's just-"
"Just nothing, Naruto. I see what you're saying I can't make mistakes and get sympathy but he beats the shit out of me while I was under the influence and all of a sudden is the one who gets to be pampered like a fucking baby, like you and I aren't the victims in this situation." He spat.
"..."
"Well, if it's him you want then go all the fucking way." He finished before storming off.
"Sasu-" I tried but was interrupted by my name being called by someone else.
"Naruto!" I turned to see Sakura jogging towards me. "I've been looking everywhere for you."
"You have?" I asked as she tried to catch her breath.
"Yes...Gaara and Lee were waiting for you at class but the teacher said you already left... Phew! I'm exhausted." She panted before glancing up the hall and seeing Sasuke.
"Hm, SASUKE?!" She yelled, but he only kept walking. "He didn't hear me..."
"..."
"What was he doing up all the way up here?" She asked.
"Hm? Oh um, he said something about soccer so he must've been in a hurry."
"Soccer, but that season is over. Why would is he in a hurry for something like that at this time?"
"I'm not sure, but hey. What did Gaara and Lee want me for?"
"Hm? What do you mean? You have lacrosse tryouts to get too."
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"As in the me standing right here in front of you?"
"Haha, stop messing around. They said Kiba had spoken with the coach and even Lee and they threw in some good words for you. Now he wants to see what you've got."
"THEY DID?!" I gasped, only now remembering that technically Kiba did say it to me, but I didn't know he was actually serious.
"YES THEY DID!" She cheered as she reached for my hand and grabbed my wrist. "So let's go before we're too late."
"Hm, wait? But don't you wanna get Sasuke first?"
"I would, but he wouldn't want to come...He never really wants to come whenever we invite him to hangout with us."
"Oh..." I replied as I saw her staring at the ground, she didn't look too happy about it and I can understand why, it was her boyfriend after all. If he didn't get along with her friends that would obviously put her in a very sticky place.
But I also just realized that what he said earlier was a lie, they did invite him. He just never wanted to join them.
"It's okay though." She smiled.
Especially when I was with him behind her back, even after we became friends.
"Maybe one day he'll join us." She finished, but to me it sounded more like she was hopeful.
Seeing how much she actually cared for him made me realize just how much of a monster I was to knowingly be with Sasuke as well. It was no doubt the others knew but they've tried to tell her about him being unfaithful so many times, but just like me and his actions at the movie, we both refused to listen.
I went as far as even trying to get her out of the picture when throughout the whole thing she has been nothing but nice, friendly and optimistic about me since the moment we met, but I always viewed her as competition over her own boyfriend, that I felt like she didn't deserve.
When in reality it was the other way around.
Maybe if it wasn't for Kiba, then maybe, just maybe, I would've taken him from her, but then what's to stop him from treating me just like he treats her behind closed doors.
"Sakura..." I trailed as I felt an apology was in order. "I'm..."
"Hm? You're what?" She asked with a small smile, her green orbs dazzling under the lights of the room making me feel even more bad about the situation.
Even if I was wrong, and even if it would hurt not to do it now rather than later, I couldn't bring myself to hurt her anymore than I already have.
"I'm excited for the tryouts." I lied, as I smiled back at her, instantly lifting both of our moods and interlocking our hands confidently.
"I know you will be! So come on before the Sun goes down." She beamed as we both ran off while laughing. "You'll see, you'll love it and we'll be on the sidelines cheering you on all the way."
Starting now, I owed her the happiness that I once stole from her by getting involved with someone who not only lied to her, but lied to me as well.
Fuck you, Sasuke Uchiha.
