I'm Dying Inside

Chapter One: And They Call This a Tragedy;

The blond felt himself let go of everything – the pain, the guilt, the hurt – in the single, long cut on his glowing tanned skin. The crimson liquid spilled down the arm, some landing on the checkered tiles.

He couldn't help but stare at his arm and smile. Physical pain was better than emotional, he thought, but he didn't want it to stop there. He wanted all of the emotional pain to go away. Tightly holding the tiny, metallic blade in his hang, he pressed into his wrist, stopping when he had heard a snap.

A distant bang was barely heard, followed by various kicking sounds and then a loud crash. Sasuke… Said boy, had ran into the blonds bathroom, followed by a red headed girl.

"Naruto – what the fuck–" was all the blond heard before submitting to the darkness.

Three Months earlier.

"That's it – I can't do this anymore Naruto!"

"Neji – wait!"

"No. I'm done hearing you bark orders at me, telling me I'm not good enough. Well I've had enough – so listen to this," Neji paused at the door to say one last thing.

"Find yourself a new lead vocalist."

That's the last thing he had heard from Neji and that was nearly a month ago – and it currently leads to a certain blond's problem now. Since said blonde made Neji quit – the other members thought he should look for a new lead vocalist. Yes, I did say those things to Neji, but I shouldn't be here. I should be out parting and having fun, the blond thought to himself as he stared at some pink bimbo that just walked in. She wore a pink glittery dress that stopped just before her mid-thigh, black stiletto heels, and piercing booger colored eyes - and to mention that huge forehead she has.

"Hi, I'm Sakura and I'd like to-"

"Next."

"Wait – I didn't even get to sing."

"Well," the blond started out, "Your voice is already high pitched with you just talking, you look like a whore, and it looks like a clown threw up on your head."

She just stood there staring and gapping like a fish out of water and then she walked off slamming the door behind her.

"Next." As soon as he said that, Naruto was immediately grateful he didn't take the time to listen to that pink girl sing.

His hair was an amazing raven color; styled like a ducks butt. He wore a tight dark blue shirt that lightly showed his abs, tight black skinny jeans, and to top it off black Converse. I've always had a thing for people in Converse. It's a turn on for me.

"Hi, I'm Uchiha Sasuke," he said in a deep, velvety voice extending out his hand to shake mine. Immediately standing up to shake his hand, Naruto replied with his own name.

"Um – what song will you be singing," Naruto asked after staring into the other boy's coal, black eyes for a moment.

He chuckled and replied, "I'm going to sing '…and they call this tragedy'."

"Okay, go," the blond said, leaning back in his chair, resting his feet on the desk, messing up some papers and making them scatter everywhere.

You make me sick

I'll tear out those diamond eyes I can't bear to see
crimson spills on paper skin
they call this tragedy
remembering the nights when you'd whisper to me soft,
"forever more my heart is yours"
realize those words have died

As the life fades from your eyes
all that I can say is it may not be too late
try again, make it perfect, make me worth it
or else die for all I care

Naruto couldn't help but awe at his voice – it was more heavenly than him just speaking.

If I cannot be loved (your face disgusts me...) then none shall be
think of this (...smile and bear your lies) as I softly
kiss your blood (this broken trust will...) glazed lips once more
on this night (...become your demise) this thing you call love... dies

As the life fades from your eyes
all that I can say is it may not be too late
try again, make it perfect, make me worth it
or else die for all I care

After today silence will haunt you
expect no (expect no) forgiveness
after today (your life...)
Silence will haunt you (...will end...)
Expect no forgiveness (...tonight)


Now I grit my teeth and finish what I know must be done
to kill the memory of you... and you said this would be forever

As the life fades from your eyes
all that I can say is it may not be too late
try again, make it perfect, make me worth it
or else die for all I care

Sitting there for a few more moments, just staring at him in amazement, Naruto stood up and said, "Welcome to Alesana, Sasuke."

Naruto could tell the other boy was happy about it, his face didn't show it, but his eyes sparkled. "Thanks," he said in a small smirk.

"Now, let's discuss what will happen while you're in our band."
