Chapter 1: So I believed


Naruto's Pov


I trusted him.

Maybe that was my own undoing,

But really I trusted him.

Of all people, I never thought it would be him.

I never thought things would ever end the way they did.

We were closer than close.

No.

We were supposed to be together.

I know it sounds silly.

Foolish, if you think about it.

But I really thought that things would last.

He broke my heart.

No, he shredded it and then puréed it into a fruity smoothie.

In public, nonetheless.

He smirked, then scorned me.

That hurt, that hurt a lot.

I'm use to disappointment,

But I thought he cared.

Guess I was wrong.

But what hurt the most was that I actually believed our relationship would last.

Maybe, it was simple wishful thinking on my half.

But I just want to know one thing,

Why did he do it?

Maybe because I can't give him an heir,

I embarrass him, that he hates being seen with me.

Or maybe we just weren't perfect for one another.

We couldn't be different as day and night.

He was my darkness.

He was my...

Everything,

too extreme?

I didn't think so at that time.

I really thought it would last,

So why am I the one crying?

I loved him.

Wasn't that enough?


Like it, let me know. This is my first attempt at angst for a Naruto story.
