Love Is Friendship [#OtakuBattle2017]

16.

They say when you're about to make a big decision that will effect your life or your money, you should wait twenty-four hours before deciding. Sakura had about four minutes left until she had to be walking down the aisle. Sasuke had left quickly, telling her he just needed to let her know, but now she was conflicted. Naruto was sweet, and kind and the man anyone could only dream of marrying. Yet, here she was deciding on whether or not she should even show up to their wedding.

She could easily slip out of the house, call a cab and go marry Sasuke instead.

But every time she thought of doing that, she remembered Karin or Naruto and immediately felt guilty. A life with Sasuke... a few years ago she would've made her choice already. Sasuke was her every thing, her best friend, the love of her life. Then he left her, and she forced herself to move on. Well at least she tried to...

Then she met Naruto.

Stuck in an almost empty café as they waited for the rain to stop, the two only people who were sitting alone decided to pass the time together. They laughed and talked, and for the first time since she left Sasuke behind, she felt butterflies in her stomach and her smile actually reached her eyes.

Things escalated from there, and somewhere in between their four years together, Naruto fell in love with her and asked her to marry him. Sakura wasn't so sure, she was a strict believer in the fact that you can only fall in love once.

But her feelings for Naruto were close enough to love, and she decided that she'd like to spend the rest of her life with him.

Then Sasuke just had to come back with old memories and feelings, all of which Sakura thought she'd moved on from.

So now she had to decide, who did she truly want to be with.

Sasuke was there for her through a lot of tough times, they've known each other since the ninth grade. He truly was her best friend.

'If she can't be my best friend, then I can't love her.'

Right. But that turned out to be false, didn't it?

Naruto had known her for a grand total of four years, and she had to admit she was truly happy with him.

He made her forget her past, the pain she felt and the tears she shed. In fact, she had even told him she'd been in love with someone else before.

"Well, I think it's possible to fall in love many times. I also believe you can fall out of love.."

That's what he had told her, which was probably the most intelligent and serious thing he'd ever said.

"Sakura, we need to go!" Her mother called from the doorway, it was time.

Sakura turned around, she had made her decision.
