♫ ~You said we could work it out, how could you hurt me now? ~ ♫

Tori walked out on the balcony, knowingly where the agitated Uchiha might be pestering himself. She found him leaning over of the stone wall, his head hanging with laced hands over his neck. This made the blond girl smile melancholy at the Raven's demolished state.

She approached behind him with ease, her hands held his shoulders and hugged him closely to her body from behind. This caused Sasuke not to react so rapidly, but feel relaxed by her touch. She finally lets go as he spun around, meeting her weak smile. Tori began, "How come you didn't tell me?" He pretended to look puzzled, aware what she's going to say. "Don't you think it's about time if you shared something for once? Without going through a mess."

Sasuke didn't speak, his mouth gaped anxiously to why this girl is with him and not with everyone else at her own party. It made him baffled yet relieved to see her with him. "Why are you here?" he asked desperately. She should be leaving for her honeymoon at this moment, throwing the bouquet to her bridesmaids and telling her goodbyes to her loved ones. Her head fell, twitching the corner of her mouth. "I want to establish something before I go."

But why does it matter? She's married. Again he didn't say anything, gesturing her to keep going as she broke out a shy face.

"I guess I always knew there was something deep down in me.. that feels for you, but reality always seem to pull me away from it." Sasuke widened his eyes at her heart-warming words. Is she... Is she confessing?

She held his hands with a reassuring grip. "And I wanted to hear it from you if what I felt is true." Then he caught himself in a dilemma. She loves him... But is there a chance for him to finally be with her? She already made the decision to marry Neji. She chose to say yes.

Sasuke thought otherwise, if maybe Tori still loves Neji despite from what happened. "Do you still love him?" he questioned confidently. This made her stare at him, then lowered her eyes. "Well, even though he used me in the first place, he truly does love me. My heart still holds a part of him." The Uchiha sank, so she still does. He managed to bring an insincere smile as she arched her brows.

"Your feelings for me... are illusions."

Her voice hitched from his choice of words. His smile might be strong, but Tori sees pass through it. Sasuke pulls his hands away from hers slowly, almost like ripping an already broken heart. Her devastated eyes fallen but a tolerant smile reached her lips sadly. "You only want me to be happy."

He didn't respond to her, admiring her lonely form still in her white wedding dress. "I see..." She then closed her eyes, they smiled as her lips faked one. A needle pierced his heart when her body backed away from his. "I've always loved you, Sasuke... from the moment I told you back in high school."

And just like that, she walked away and went forward to the exit of the balcony. But then the Raven's nerves snapped.

"Tori!"

Her motionless hand stopped at the handle of the door, and side glanced at the man struggling in his thoughts. His mind was pushed away, now his heart conquering his body. Sasuke marched towards her aggressively, grabbing her arm forcefully and pulled her towards him.

A rough kiss collapsed in between the two. Sasuke hungrily moved his lips against hers as his arms wrapped possessively around her. Tori's mind was clouded as her hands went straight to his head, longing for a deeper kiss. It feels right, just right at that moment when Sasuke placed his lips on her after all these years, and she returned it. Before they can continue with their session, Sasuke pulled away.

She breathed quietly, "You do love me..." He still didn't respond, only a sting watered his half-lidded eyes. If he unlock his feelings by saying one word from his love, he will only hurt himself after this day. Tori waited, wanting to hear those blessed words from his lips, but he won't allow himself. Cheers and laughter was heard from outside, meaning it's time for her to get in the car with her new husband.

"Go..." He wanted her to leave, he won't forgive himself if she sees him break down. "Leave." This time he told her more demandingly. Once she lets go of him, her body finally moved out of the balcony to leave the Uchiha alone breathing shakily.

Drip... Drip...

Finally little tears turned into a river. His teary eyes found himself looking out of the balcony where Tori's figure stepped into the car while everyone throws petals above her. Neji besides her with an ice pack to his head and a black eye, held her hand as they entered in the long limo. Sasuke clutched onto his chest tightly, fingers digging through his suit as he sobs vividly.

He left a sore on his lips by the gasps he hysterically cried. When the car began to drive away with his only love and her new lover, it felt like every part of him is with her.

Tori! Sasuke continued to cry hard, his tears became endless falling constantly from his shut eyes. Why did I even... try?! Look what he's done to himself. He angrily ask himself: What's the point of loving her?

How did we ended up like this?

♫ ~ And you moved on to the next, I'm left with an imperfect smile. ~ ♫
