Chapter one

Hinata sat nervously in the restaurant looking at the beautiful scenery. She looked at her watch, beginning to lose patience. Her husband, Naruto Uzumaki said he'd be here by eight. It was now close to eight thirty. She didn't know what to expect. He said he had something very important to tell her and what he has to say will change their relationship forever. She was hoping it was a good thing because their relationship hasn't been very good at all lately. They act like strangers, barely touching or seeing each other. Their marriage was becoming very unhealthy. The thought almost making her cry until she finally saw him approaching her table.

He gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek and took his seat. Hinata stared at him. "Sorry I'm late, I had business to attend to" He stated, picking up the menu, not even bothering to look at her. The waiter approached them and they ordered their food. While they waited, he made casual conversation with her as if he was trying to avoid something. Hinata caught a bad feeling after a while. An awkward silence fell on them until their food finally arrived.

Hinata only began playing with her food when Naruto decided to speak up. "Hinata, we have to talk." He sighed. "I'll be brief about it…This isn't working anymore and I know you feel the same way" His words stung her but it didn't shock her. She felt her heart sink to her stomach. She just stared at him, an empty expression on her face but more pain in her eyes than you could imagine. "I'm sorry Hinata, but this is pathetic. We don't make love anymore, hell we don't even kiss anymore. Do you see what I'm saying?"

She looked down at her food. "Yeah, we've been acting like strangers lately. But I thought we could fix things" She wanted to cry but didn't let herself. How could he say such things? Sure, things haven't been easy but isn't that supposed to make a marriage stronger? They've been married for 6 years and Hinata supported him when he didn't have anything in life. It was she who gave him strength. She even put aside her family to be with him, causing her father to resent her.

"That's not it, Hinata, there's more" He said, looking her in the eyes. "There's someone else" Her heart shattered once he those words left his lips. Tears formed and threatened to fall but she wouldn't let him see her cry. "Remember Sakura?" He asked. Hinata shook her head 'yes'. How could she be so blind? Whenever he'd look at or even speak about Sakura his eyes lit up with such excitement. "I know you probably hate me Hinata but this isn't fair to you. I shouldn't keep you around when I'm in love with Sakura." Hinata didn't even want to hear anymore. She was torn between wanting to slap him across the face or to run out and cry.

Hinata cleared her throat "Well, maybe we should get a divorce." She needed to get out of there. Her heart was obliterated and listening to him only made matters worse.

"I agree" Naruto said with a slight smile. "I really don't want you to hate me but this needed to be done" Hinata didn't want to look at him. She picked up her purse and began to search for her cash to pay for her meal and leave. "No Hina, I'll pay" He said pulling out his credit card, signaling for the waiter. Hinata got up and said good-bye before walking out. Hinata got into her car and by this point the tears were falling. She held them in the entire time in the restaurant and just couldn't do it anymore. She pulled up to their house and walked inside. The huge house didn't even feel like hers anymore. She wouldn't stay here any longer. She ran up the stairs and immediately reached for the suitcase. She packed everything she needed including clothes, her tooth brush and a pair of sneakers. She was about to walk out of the master bed-room when she remembered her wedding ring. She took it off and placed it on the night stand.

She got into her car and didn't even bother looking back at their house, correction, his house. She drove around for bit, not knowing where she should go. A hotel? She didn't have the money to do that. She couldn't go back home to her father. He kicked her out and disowned her when he found out she was engaged to Naruto. Perhaps she could stay with her cousin Neji and his wife. She pulled up to their house and walked to their door, suitcase in hand. She tentatively knocked on the door. Moments later a very tired looking Neji opened the door. "Did I disturb you Neji?" She asked. He blinked a few times at her. "No, I was just cleaning up my office. What's wrong Hinata?"

She swallowed hard. "Can I please come in?" Tears were forming once again. Neji looked down and saw her suitcase. Moving aside, he ushered inside. Hinata sat on the couch and he took a seat next to her. "What happened Hinata, why do you have this suitcase with you?"

Hinata looked at her cousin. Neji was always her protector and always was there for her. "Naruto and I are getting a divorce" She started crying, unable to hold it in. Neji put his arm around her, rubbing her shoulder comfortingly. "He-He left me for his temp at his office. I don't understand w-why he would do this to me. I was a great wife. I was the one who helped him become so successful." She started sobbing and buried her face in her hands.

Tenten came down stairs wrapped in her robe. "What's going on?" She looked at Hinata. "Oh God, is everything okay?" She asked placing her hand on Hinata's shoulder.

"Hinata will be staying with us for a while Tenten. She and Naruto are getting divorced." Neji said, reaching to get Hinata a tissue. "Of course" Tenten said "I'll prepare the guest room"

Hinata wiped away her tears and Neji stood up and took her suitcase. "Tenten and I will get everything set up for you. In the meantime, you should take a shower and take some stress off. I'm here for you Hinata and you can stay as long as you need to" With that he led her upstairs to the bathroom.

Hinata took a look at herself in the mirror. She didn't have much confidence almost her whole life. But she certainly knew she wasn't unattractive. Maybe it was Sakura's beautiful emerald eyes or her exotic pink hair or her flawless ivory skin that made Naruto leave her. No. She refused to think that way. She wouldn't feel miserable and start to envy Sakura. Everything happens for a reason, right? She took off her dress and heels and stepped into the shower. She wished everything could go down the drain with the water that caressed her body. She stayed in there longer than she needed to but she didn't care. The water felt amazing. Stepping out, she collected her things and walked out into the hall way. Tenten came out of the bed room and led her to the guest room. "I know I didn't have to but I gave you some pajamas. Hinata if there's anything you need just let us know okay? We love you Hinata." She gave Hinata a comforting smile. Hinata smiled back and gave her thanks. Once she got dressed she crawled into the bed. The sheets were warm and comforting but she felt no comfort. She felt empty, angry, hurt. She couldn't put into words the emotions she felt. Silently, she cried herself to sleep.
