Don't Let Me Down (Mafia! Sasuke x OC x Mafia! Gaara)

Part 29: Heartthrob

(Sasuke's pov)

After the fight, Naruto and I were taken to the office, punished, and then released by Lady Tsunade. By then school finished. Naruto didn't utter a word to me as him and Hinata headed home together.

I was waiting outside by the entrance for Noriko, but she hadn't shown up. I tried calling her phone but no one picked up. I sighed annoyed. I straightened up and looked back at my phone, trying to text her.

"You looking for Nori?" a voice questioned me. I looked up to see Gaara. I slightly glared at him as I slipped my phone back in my pocket. "What's it to you?" I growled. "I'm not here to fight you Sasuke," he said honestly.

"Then what? Any other day you wouldn't have even glanced at me." I scoffed.

"That's because any other day I wouldn't give a shit about you." He responded nonchalantly. I snarled as my fists tightened.

He sighed. "But today isn't like any other day. You've made Nori upset and that pisses me off," he stated sounding calm but I could hear the venom behind his words, "But since I can't hurt you, allow me to educate you"

I stayed silent.

"You're very lucky to have her as a friend. She cares for you. Even though her condition still isn't stable she doesn't care. She's willingly to die for you if it makes you happy...I can see it in her eyes. And she's convinced that you'd do the same" he said.

"I would." I said firmly.

He raised his eyebrows then scoffed, "Would you? I'm not convinced. Look at what happened today...you pushed her away, said to leave you alone, ignored her kindness, and then started a fight. You're destructive and selfish." He said.

My mouth opened for a reply but I couldn't think of any. He turned his back to me and began walking off but not before saying the final word.

"If anything should happen to her, if you lead her on..." he looked over his shoulder and gave me a dangerous look, "I will kill you." He said with all seriousness before walking off.

I was sitting on the swing set that I had sat in to look for Sasuke a couple of weeks ago. I just sat there swinging back and forth. There were a couple of people here. I couldn't exactly figure out how I feel.

Was I mad, sad, upset? Maybe all three? I couldn't decide. I was angry with Sasuke for hurting Naruto, upset of how I handled the situation, and sad that he felt that way. That he felt alone and isolated.

What could I do? I obviously couldn't help him.
