All Alone For The Holidays: Sasuke angst oneshot.

(Dedicated to a reviewer of mine, who's reviewed ALMOST everything I've written: Mishotari! Thank you sooo much, I hope you like this...I didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped. :( )

I hate the holidays. For more reasons then one. 1. It's impossible to get around town, because everyone and their best friends are shopping for presents. What's the point? I mean, you buy someone something they want then, as a token of your what? Friendship? Love? Che, that's crap.

2. All these parties. Don't people understand I want to be ALONE? The last thing I need to see is Neji and Tenten making out in the corner, or Naruto trying to flirt with Hinata, very badly might I add. And then there's the whole mistletoe shit, do you know how many times I've had to use my fire jutsus on those infernal plants? You wouldn't want to be caught under there with a drunken Rock Lee either.

3. It's too happy. Some people, have good lives…some people, don't. I fit into the second category. I have no family to go home to and open gifts…there's no one in my house but me. I won't hang stockings…or anything like that. Because, what's the point?

So I'm sitting here…at another party…and I feel completely alone. People laughing, surround me talking…yet, I am empty. Because, what do I have to look forward to? The NEXT party? I stand up, wave uncaringly to everyone, but I actually really don't care, and walk out. My hands are in my pockets and I walk down the snow-covered street. Damn, it's cold. I can see people in their houses…all sitting around enjoying each other's company…family, something I don't have. I'm home now, so I open my door and flick on the light. It's a cavernous place really…too big, for just me. My bedroom looks impeccable; because I hardly ever stay home…it's really just a place to sleep. I do value one thing here though…my last family photo. Mom has her arms around me, and dad is actually smiling…that asshole's hand is on my head, and I'm…smiling. Smiling is something I can't remember truly doing for a while.

It's New Year's Eve now…and it's the same as the Christmas party. Couples are kissing, friends are drinking, and I'm still sitting and thinking. So what if it's a new year, it's just ANOTHER year. If they're celebrating the fact that we, being shinobi, are alive another year…why just be thankful for that every day? And what about these resolutions…I can guess everyone else's…but what is mine? I resolve to become stronger every day…I could say to be kinder, but I really have no interest in that, so why bother? What exactly do I want to do with my life? I want to kill Itachi…and reform my clan. That's not a lot. Screw "New Year's Resolutions", I have enough will power to set my goals everyday. This is just some stupid time for losers.

And so…I am alone. Totally alone, and I probably will never be…happy I suppose. I won't bother…I'll be fine. I hate this time, but Happy Holidays. I hope you have a better life then me…

(Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! I, personally do have a resolution…unlike Sasuke:P)
