Welcome to the first chapter of "Notes"! I'm glad you clicked it.
Tenten placed a hand over her eyes. The bright light radiating from the ceiling shone too brightly for her taste.
She lowered her hands and closed her eyes. She tried to pull her blanket over her eyes, but when it reached her mouth, her feet would pop out into the cold room. She took a deep breath, and tilted her head slightly to the side.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through her arm, running down to her waist and overwhelming her legs. She quickly opened her eyes and clenched her jaw shut so a yep wouldn't escape her. She lifted up her blanket in shock.
Her right arm was secured in a cast and her waist was covered in bloody bandages. The left leg was in a full-leg cast and her right leg was covered in gauze, bandages, and the faint smell of anesthetic stung at her nostrils.
She slowly lowered the blanket in horror. Something tugged at her arm, and, after a quick glance, she noticed that it was an IV. She suddenly became aware of the tubes running from her nose and arms. An annoying beeping noise rang in her ears, and Tenten fought to keep it from being burned into her mind.
Suddenly, she gasped. The memories of the night before hit her. Visions of her sitting next to Neji hit her. Visions of him kissing her, of her handing him a love note, and of him smiling slowly once he read it. Then, the visions of the car headed towards them, the horror on his face, and the warmth of his body against hers, trying to protect her.
Tenten bit her tongue, and looked to the bed beside her. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped. The white cloth wasn't placed properly over his face, showing that it was an emergency surgery. His long black hair had splotches of deep red all over, his face with multiple scars. She didn't need to worry about his health, since nothing was attached to him; no IV, no heart-reader, no oxygen supply, no blood sacks. Nothing.
She glanced at the stand next to him. A bloody, crumpled and slightly open piece of paper was laying there. She read it, and suddenly became faint.
I love you so much. I want to be with you forever, and when you die, die alongside you. I love you. The words repeated in her mind, over and over.
Slowly, a lump rose in her throat. An deep anger started to revile itself from the depths of her mind, and a icy hand gripped at her heart. She felt a noise rip from her chest, and, before she knew it, she was screaming, "Fuuuuuuuuck!!"
