Messy without a Doubt

Sasuke

Sasuke walked down stairs he got home late last night and his parents went out to some party or funeral, honestly Sasuke couldn't remember and he didn't care. Sasukes parents have been pretty hard to deal with. They always were.

The fear Sasuke has whenever he is in the house has consumed everything about him. The fear that his parents could find out about him being with Naruto or even being bisexual, holy shit Sasuke doesn't even know if he would make it out of the house alive.

His dad, he's always been an honest grumpy man and that's not good in Sasukes case because he's also very hateful to change.

Sasuke knows how his father is, he has anger problems, it wouldn't be the first time Sasuke was hit. Wouldn't be the first time his mother was hit. But that's another story, you can say what you would like but Sauske knows just how much his mother being with his father has changed her.

Sasuke knows that his loving and kind mother isn't or at least wasn't who she is some days, shes evil some days. She takes the hits from Sasukes father like its a drug, and then when he leaves she hits Sasuke with tears flowing down her face like its the only way to get back down from a high. Why does she do it? There is no reason for her to hit her son, is it because of the pain? What is it?

Sasuke just sits there and takes it not even shedding a single tear.

Even Sasuke doesn't know why she does it, even Sasuke wonders that most days. What exactly did he do?

Sasukes father destroyed his mother, their family everything and for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"Sasuke" Sasuke looked at his mother, she was smiling nicely that same smile that could change in a second if his father walks in the room.

Despite everything Sasuke knows who his mother is and he knows that the person before him is not his mother. It's an impostor, this lady is someone who's suffered and this is the end result of everything shes been through. But even so, Sasuke will always gives his mother another chance, and another, and another until one of them are gone.

"Good Morning mother, is father home?"  Sasuke wasn't planning on staying long it was a Sunday he has basketball practice. But even if he had nothing to do, walking would be without a doubt something he would rather dothen staying in this dark house.

Mikoto smiled and shook her head a nervous and dreadful feeling in her stomach, something is coming something bad. "He didn't come home last night" Mikoto softly said the anxiety reaching up her throat and out of her mouth as she spoke.

Sasuke stopped walking and went rigid, "What?" he turned to his mother a nervous sweat falling down the side of his head.

The last night his father didn't come home was the night Itachi died, he went to the bar he came home the next day either completely sober or completely hungover. Sasuke got the beating of his life that night, his father was blaming the death on everyone including himself. Sasuke honestly thought he was going to die, his father had punched him in the face, stomach and said some vile things.

Sasuke had to go to the hospital he had said it was a sports accident, he got stitches in his head and had 2 broken ribs. His father apologized after he said sorry, that was it. But even back then sorry didn't cut it.

"Your father didn't come home last night, he left the party early after talking with your girlfriend" Mikotos voice shook as she tried to remember everything that happened last night she didn't remember her husband getting angry.

"My girlfriend?" Sasuke asked walking towards his mother, "Who?" He doesn't have a girlfriend.

"Sakura, she was very polite and nice she started the conversation but I was talking to her parents she talked to your father....He left after that" Her eyes confused still not understanding what had happened.

Sasukes heart stopped, his whole body froze a cold sweat dripped down the back of his neck, his dad knows. Sakura told him she had to, she probably didn't even know what she was doing. She probably doesn't even know that she practically stamped Sasukes one way ticket to death.

"Mom" Sasuke whispered his voice shaking, "he knows, mom we need to leave" Sasuke ran over to his mother and grabbed her hand.

"Knows what? Sasuke whats going on" She cried her hands were shaking but Sasuke held onto them.

"I'm dating Naruto and now he knows, we're not safe here" Sasuke walked out of the kitchen his mothers hand squeezing his as he told her the truth.

"Sasuke, you're what?" Her voice trembling "You're with Naruto? Sasuke you need to leave. Now." Sasuke let go of his mothers hand and took a step back, his mother quickly ran back into the kitchen and wrote something down on a piece of paper.

"Sasuke take this and leave, now. It's not safe here" her voice was stern and urgent Sasuke hasn't seen this side of his mother since Itachi died, it was the last time as if Itachi took a piece of her when he died. Which he did he took her will to do anything.

"What is this?" Sasuke asked putting the piece of paper in his pocket next his phone.

"That is my brothers number call him and have him pick you up" She picked up a sweatshirt sitting on the table and threw it at Sasuke, "Leave Sasuke now!"

Sasuke shook his head completely ignoring  the questions, his mother has a brother? How come he's never around? How come he's never met him? He doesn't even know his name.

Ignoring everything Sasuke pulled his mothers attention with the tears flowing down his face "You're not safe either! Mom, please" He went for her hand but she pulled back.

"Sasuke! Stop. You are my main priority. Sasuke you're MY child!" Mikoto cried, the tears just kept falling. Sasuke was speechless.

This was his mother.

She took a deep breath the sight of her son made her nauseous, she truly was the worst mother. She makes herself sick. She loves him. She really does.

She's never seen him so sad and helpless it was killing her to watch the tears. "Sasuke, I know what you've been through and what you've seen. But you're my responsibility. I'm sorry I love you. I do." Mikoto pushed Sasuke towards the kitchen door but he stood not moving at all, as his mother was crying trying to get him out of the house.

"Why won't you come with me!" Sasuke cried the thoughts of what could happen to his mother scared him, she's all he has.

Sasuke and Mikoto both stopped moving, the sound of the door slamming caught their attention Sasukes father was home.

Mikoto grabbed Sasuke and led him out the back door, Sasuke in a daze followed her without a word tears streaming down his face. What was his mom doing? Why is she staying does she love him that much.

"Sasuke" She whispered wiping the tears from her sons cheeks, "I'm proud of you" she kissed his cheek and pushed him out the door before shutting it tightly and locking it.

Sasuke stood there for a second watching his mothers retreating figure through the glass door until he no longer had the desire to listen to the yelling and screaming and broken glass from inside the house.

His mother protected him and he wasn't going to let that all be for nothing.

Sasuke walked to the only place he knew to go to. He walked down the road passing people, passing cars, the sound of a siren and ambulance speeding by him only caused more and more pain in his chest, was that an ambulance for his mother? Is she alright?

He reached the destination and knocked on the door. The door swung open seconds later the bright blonde boys smile dropped as he looked at Sasuke, he grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house slamming the door behind him.
