Noise,

It rained down

On me,

Crushing me.
-

Like hail,

It pounded its way

Into my ears,

Scurrying inside my

Already battered

Brain.
-

My head buzzed

Like a timer,

As if the

Slightest thing

Could

Start the countdown

To destruction.

My destruction.
-

The noise

Emitting from the

People around

Me

Seemed to

Drastically

Increase

As if my senses

Had

Tripled

In mere moments.
-

My heart

Pounded

In my

Bruising

Chest

Like a frightened

Animal

On the bad

Side of a

Gun.
-

Some guy from

Geometry

Passed me

Another joint,

At least

I think it was

The guy from

Geometry,

(I have reached

The point

Where I

Could not

Tell my own

Mother apart

From

The creepy guy

Who works

At Blockbuster),

Asked if

I was

'OK'.

-

Was I

'OK'?

I'm not

Exactly

Sure.
-

I nodded anyway

Taking the

Pipe,

Ready to take

A nice long

Drag,

But I

Think

He sensed

My nervousness,

Because he

Snatched the

Pipe

Away from me

And replaced it

With

A plastic cup

Filled with

An amber liquid.
-

He told

Me to

Drink it.
-

So

I

Did.
-

Cheers

Vibrated

Off my

Eardrums

As I downed

The filled-

To-the-rim

Cup of

Liquid fire

Which only

Added fuel to

My inner

Trauma.
-

I staggered to

Lean on

A nearby

Oak

So

I wouldn't

Make a

Donkey of

Myself and

Sat on the

Ground with

My head

Between my

Legs, taking

Deep and calming

Breaths with

My eyes

Closed.
-

When I

Finally thought

I was calm

Enough and the

Noises were

Gone,

If not

Slightly tuned

Down,

I slowly rose,

My body

Leaning against

The tree for

Support.

-

I opened my

Eyes

Slowly,

Only to be

Assaulted by

Strange colors

And sounds.
-

Sharp oranges,

Blues, and

Reds twirled

Joyously

Behind hazy

Black blotches

Moving to the beat

With the loud,

Thunderous

Bass.
-

Gulping for

Fresh air,

I ran toward

My car,

Any car.
-

I battled my

Way through

People,

Getting drinks

Spilt on me

And a string

Of general

Curses being

Shouted at my

Fleeting

Back.
-

I jumped in

A banana

Yellow truck,

Wondering

Why I

Bought this

Bright ass

Yellow piece of

Crap.
-

Starting it

With the

Oddly shaped

Brass that

Dug relentlessly

Into my left

Hip,

I bolted

Out of the lot

Going

Anywhere

I

Belonged.
-

Gunning across

Deserted streets

I questioned

Myself and

Anyone

Who would

Listen

Just why it

Was deserted.
-

Just what

Happened

To my

So-called

Friends.
-

Just why,

Why was

I Left

Alone.
-

Suddenly,

As I was

Crossing

The bridge

Between myself

And

Freedom,

The past

And

The future,

Hell and

Heaven,

My right leg

Randomly

Vibrated.
-

Startled,

I

Jerked the

Wheel to my

Right.
-

This caused

My truck to

Crash into the

Right side

Barrier of

The bridge,

And,

With nothing

Else in its way,

My banana yellow

Truck

Dove engine first

Into the

Pacific Ocean.

-

I,

Being in

The driver's

Seat of

The truck,

Got front row

Tickets

To my own

Drowning.
-

Panicking,

I tried to

Undo my

Seat-belt,

Only to

Remember that

I didn't put

It on.
-

The water

Was rising,

My breath

Quickening,

And

My mind whirling.
-

Then

It stopped.
-

I stopped.

-

Sighing,

A low

Content

Sigh,

I chuckled lowly,

Remorsefully,

Almost

Boredly.
-

I know what's

Coming,

I may not

Like it,

But I can

Accept it.
-

The truck

Was now

Completely

Submerged in

Water.
-

The air vents

And

Windows

Leaked.

Water slowly

Cascaded down

To the

Floor and

Began to

Invade and

Conquer

Every single

Inch of

Leather and

Upholstery.
-

The dark

Power

Of

Water

Slunk slowly

But surely

Up to my

Neck,

My chin,

My mouth,

My nose,

Engulfing

Me

Whole.
-

My lungs

Started to

Burn with

The lack

Of oxygen.
-

And without

Any last

Thought,

I let go.

-a-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-a-

PHONE CALL:

-

Ring…

Ring…

Ring…

"…

Just leave

A message at

The beep,

And I might

Call you

Back,

Got it?"

*BEEP*

-

"Hey,

Anko…

It's Kurenai…

And...

Well…"

-

"Anko,

I know you

Went to that

Party with Mr.O

And I know

You really like

Him

And all…

But…

Could you…"

-

"Arg!

Forget this!

Anko,

We're all

Really worried

About you,

We being me,

Asuma, Genma,

Kakashi, Tenzo,

Gai, Iruka,

And even Ibiki,

Though he

Won't admit it

Out loud.

Hell,

Even Tsunade

Is scared

Shitless that

You're going

To do

Something

Extremely stupid!"

-

"Damn it,

Anko!

Get it

Through your

God-damned

Head

That we're

Your friends

And come

See me!"

-

Sigh

-

"Anko…

Talk to me,

Just call

Me back

When you

Can,

I really

Miss you…

We all

miss you…"
