| Itachi Uchiha |

"Are you sure there isnt anything wrong with you?" Shisui asked me. "You've been acting really weird lately."

"I'm fine." I tell him raking my hands through my hair. I turned away from him and looked at the television.

I've been trying to call Caleigh, but she just wont answer. This was killing me. I just wanted to talk to her. To get an understanding of what I wanted to do. She hasn't come over to help Sakura with her dress. Instead, she's been having Sakura meet her at her hotel.

This was bothering me. I shouldn't have told her, but then again, I couldn't keep lying to myself any longer. I have feelings for Shisui and I would never want to hurt him, but I love her. I always have and no one can take that from me. Shisui doesn't even compare. Not even the slightest.

She has a spirit about her that no one can ignore. You notice her without even trying to. You want to know her. Then when you do, you're so drawn to her that you cant help but to fall for her. Like I did. I thought I'd be able to be her friend but I cant. I want to hold her. Caress her. Make her mine forever and I cant. I screwed up. This isn't anyone's fault but mine.

"Im worried about you ya'know." Shisui knocked me out of my thoughts as I see him go to leave my room. I purse my lips together and nod my head slowly.

"I understand that." I reply. "But trust me, nothing is wrong."

Shisui eyes me, probably wondering if he should continue to press an issue or leave it alone. I guess he decided to leave it alone because he turned away and walked out of the room. I sigh.

Stuffing my face in my hands, I allowed my tears to fall. I've been holding this in for so long. Struggling to breathe, I looked up seeing my brother. I quickly wiped my eyes and he closed the door locking it. This was completely embarrassing. After all the times I've watched my brother cry, console him and tell him everything will be okay, he was watching the only person he looked up to break down, crumble even.

I was at such a low point I couldn't even stop the tears from flowing; it was happening naturally. I smreally couldnt stop them and thats what frustrates me the most.

I quickly looked down at my hands and began to fidget as Sasuke walked towards me and squatted down in front of me. He placed his hands on mine and when I looked at my baby brother, a small smile formed on his face. It broke me even more. I cracked. I slid off the bed and into my brother's arms. He caught me, forcing himself to fall on his bottom, but that didn't stop him from holding me. I felt pathetic.

"It's okay Itachi." Sasuke almost coos. "I know how it feels but you have to make a decision sooner or later."

"I've already chosen Sasuke." I tell him. "The problem is hurting him."

I felt Sasuke stop breathing. He exhaled slowly. "Didn't you tell me to tell Sakura how I felt? The more you prolong this, the worst everything is gonna get."

I pulled away from Sasuke to pull myself together. I drew my legs to my chest as I wiped my eyes taking in a deep breath.

"Yeah." I nodded. "You're right."

"Pull yourself together Itachi." Sasuke's eyes show worry. "I'm starting to worry. Everyone is seeing the change in you."

I nod. "O-okay." I answer. "Thank you, Sasuke."

"So, what's going on with you akd Itachi?" I ask as I sipped my fruit punch. She snatched her head back and looked at me.

"What makes you think something happend between us?" She asks. I shrug. I know I wasn't suppose to be prying, but these two have been acting noticeably weird to be the best of friends.

"Well," I pursed my lips together and straightened my posture as I sat on the floor of her hotel room. "For starters, you havent been over there lately. You two havent spoken to eachother since he said he wanted to talk to you. And ever since then he's been acting weird. I put two and two together."

Caleigh chewed on her bottom lip. Her grey eyes landing on me.

"We fought." She says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Can you keep a secret?" She raised her eyebrow and I nodded letting her known that she could trust me. She huffed. Her gaze trailed off and it looked like she was in a world of her own.

"Itachi told me he loves me." Her eyes dart to mine as my own eyes widen in surprise. He seemed so happy with Shisui. Regardless of the heavy sarcasm he'd use, he was happy.

"Bu-"

She raised her hand stopping me from speaking. "Listen." She says. "I've loved Itachi since I met him in highschool. He stopped a group of girls from cutting my hair out. He's always been so nice and genuine when it came to me I couldn't stop myself from falling. It blinded me. Then Shisui transferred and blew everything up. He told Itachi he liked him and Itachi became confused about his own sexual preferences. So as a friend. I encouraged him to date Shisui." Her eyes glazed over as she thought about her relationship with Itachi. "To get over my feelings for him I moved away for school and been living there ever since. Because of you and Sasuke's wedding is the first time in years we've physically seen eachother and it through me for a loop."

"Tell him." I tell her. She looks at me. I nod. "Tell him, Caleigh. The two of you are hurting, yearning for eachother like this. Unlike Sasuke and I who dates other people to stay away from eachother, you and Itachi share something special. On a spiritual level it seems. Itachi is sick to his stomach. I see it. Please talk to him. He's been calling you."

"I don't want to." She says. "I don't want him to hurt Shisui. He's innocent in all this."

"I understand." I nod. "But you cant lie to yourself, Itachi, or Shisui. What are the two of you gonna do? Not speak to eachother any more?"

Caleigh took in a breath. She was so selfless. Both she and Itachi that the thought of being selfish and going after eachother made the both of them sick to their stomach.

"It may sound selfish." I say again. "But sometimes you have to hurt someone to get what you want."

"Did you fight for Sasuke?" Her soft gaze lands on me.

"I didn't have to." I reply. "He fought for me. Literally."

Caleigh breathed out a laugh. "What? Sasuke fought for you?"

I nod. "He told me he loved me in front of all our friends and my boyfriend at the time." I tell her. "The two exchanged words and all I saw was my ex throw the first punch before I ran away. Sasuke helped me get out of a really fucked up situation at home and everything. He's my savior and I wouldn't want to be in love with anyone else."

"Got damn that Uchiha Charm of theirs." Caleigh spoke causing the both of us to share a simple laugh.

"Thank you, Sakura." Caleigh says. Causing me to smile.

So, i got a quote threat unquote in my inbox saying that if I had Itachi and Caleigh ruined the wedding or if they got together my account was gonna get reported.
