A New Life (Modern Sasuke Uchiha Love Story) Ch. 18

"I'll see you tomorrow at school," he murmurs, cupping my cheek with one hand as I looked to the ground.

I didn't want the day to be over already. I didn't want to be home alone like always. Not when I could be with him...

"Okay," I whisper softly, blinking away sudden tears from my eyes. It would do me no good to disagree anyways.

"Akemi," he calls quietly. I look up at him quickly, and he presses his lips to mine. Our eyes fluttered closed in unison, both of us relishing this moment.

He had tilted his head a little, so he was at a slight angle, but it wasn't uncomfortable. If anything, it felt more right than the others. Almost as if we were one person, our mouths opened at the same time. His tongue explored my mouth with a gentle persistence when I tried to pull away for air. His hand shifts to my neck, pulling me towards him slightly. By now I was out of oxygen, but I didn't want to stop because I knew he'd leave as soon as I did.

Finally he pulls away, a thin line of saliva following him from my mouth. He reaches his hand back around me and wipes it away with his thumb.

"Bye, Akemi," he states, turning and walking towards his vehicle without a backwards glance.

I watch him pull out of my driveway and down the street, and the loneliness I had evaded for a few hours returns with a burning passion.

Already I missed him. I just wanted to sit between his legs, as I had before, or maybe just talk to him. When I was with him, I felt more alive than I ever had, even before the accident. I actually felt with him.

I sighed miserably to myself and turned to unlock my door. I opened it, and it was dark, as usual.

Where normally I would love the quiet aloneness that came with my house, now I couldn't stand it. The silence surrounded me like a warm blanket straight from the dryer.

I was so alone. No parents... No siblings...

Without Sasuke to take my mind off of life, I felt it worse than the after accident.

I guess then I had already accepted the fact that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. And just today I had given myself the hope that I could love someone and he would take the lonely feeling in my heart. And now he was gone. Why did I get the feeling that he would never leave me when I was with him? He left very easily...

My phone rang, and I thought about hitting ignore until I saw that it was Hinata. I guess she was going to call and make sure I was home when she brought back my car.

"Hey," I state quietly.

"Hey, Akemi. You're home, right?" her soft voice chirps through the phone.

"Yeah, just got back," I answer.

"From where? How'd you get there?" she asks and I mentally groan. I didn't want to explain myself. But it was Hinata. I could trust her.

"I'll tell you when you get here. Maybe you can help me out," I say.

"Ok, whatever you need," she says. "I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"See you then," I say, then end the call. I sigh and lean up against my closed front door. How much should I tell her? Would she understand what I was going through? Probably not... Her and Naruto were perfect matches from the start, I'm sure.

With a sigh of uncertainty, I make my way through the house to my room, where I lay down on my bed with my legs hanging over.

It feels like hours of silence but it's actually only a few minutes. I felt my own heartbeat pulsing in my ears because it was too quiet.
