[FINISHED] The Past Mistake (A SasuNaru FanFiction)

Chapter 021 - The Past Mistake

"He was kissing my fucking best friend, on my fucking birthday!" Naruto hissed after finally went on memory lane of that specific night. He was lucky that night that he was an hour earlier than usual. If he were late for an hour or so, he didn't know what could have happened. But it was the best fucking present to see his lover French-kissing his fucking best friend on his fucking birthday. He couldn't have asked for more.

"A kiss?" Both Kakashi and Itachi asked in unison.

"It's not about the kiss, but the betrayal. Of all people he could be cheating on with, but why Sakura, my best friend? A cheater should just die, honestly."

"Naruto, that night I found him dying of blood loss, he smelt of alcohol. He was dead-drunk. He had been cooking foods for the dinner, waiting for you for hours!" Itachi argued.

"To hell with it!"

"Naruto, are you okay living your life knowing that you are someone else's reason to die?" Kakashi finally gave his pieces of mind, now that he was concerned. It was only a kiss and they were still teenagers at that time. It was understandable to have mistakes and have a labile mind.

"Even Sakura is nowhere, and she didn't even make any attempt to apologize!" Naruto argued back. What's with people lately? Kakashi now is defending Sasuke, too? Naruto thought drily.

That traitor...

"Oh now that you've mentioned it... I have something to show you." Itachi took his phone out and tapped something on the screen before he handed the black device to Naruto.

"It was a video from Sakura."

Naruto was stunned. He didn't expect that.

"Before you play it, go and get Sasuke back. You don't want to regret anything if it's too late. Now go. You can decide what you want to do next. Only you who could save him now."

Naruto was hesitated at first but eventually, he shook his head after a quick contemplating. "But, I don't know where Sasuke could be now." He still loved the man and he couldn't lie about it. Because deep down, he was still worried.

"Don't worry. That car over there will lead you. Now go."

Naruto snatched Itachi's phone and he hurried to his car and did as he was told, followed the car in front of him, probably one of Itachi's men.

Naruto positioned the phone on the phone holder he had stuck on the dashboard and began playing the video before he hit the gas, following the grey car ahead.

"Naruto, it's me, Sakura..."

Naruto swallowed his saliva hearing his ex-best friend's voice.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you for what had happened that night. I... I want to clarify here that it was a misunderstanding. That night was your birthday and I wanted to give you a present and say happy birthday to you. You know being pharmacist was as much pain in the ass as your classes."

Naruto agreed to that. But then again. He had thought that she had made a shitty excuse that he would be absent that day to French-kissing his boyfriend, no?

"So I decided to drop by. When I arrived at your apartment, I was yanked inside the dim room. I wasn't expecting that. I couldn't even do anything when Sasuke...

"He was drunk, Naruto... Forgive him. It wasn't his fault, well, partly, but... It happened years ago, and we were still teenagers. We all did mistakes... Nobody's perfect. Also, if you are wondering why I didn't apologize to you right away until now, I did. Tons of it. After that unfortunate, damned night, I tried to call you. I sent you bunches of text. I emailed you thrice a day, for the first two weeks. I tried looking for you, but yours and Kakashi's place was always empty every time I went there. I couldn't find you. I was desperate then...
