The Signs

My world had been flipped upside down. I was still coming to terms with everything that had been told. I knew everything was true, I mean how couldn't I? Naruto's hospitalized body was right there! The usual grin was gone. Oh how I had taken it for granted. Back then every time he smiled it annoyed me to no end. Back then I would wonder what the hell he was smiling about all those years. But…But now the smile I had despised and hated, I lounged for. I know it was stupid but I couldn't help but hope that he would pop up out of bed, laughing like an idiot, and yell in his loud voice "Just kidding! I got all of you." Granted I would beat the complete shit out of him if he did but it would still be better than what was happening now.

His face looked blank. It seemed to lack little to no emotion at all. No one could possibly tell what Naruto was going through. Everybody except Hinata and I. We knew exactly what he was going through. Love, joy, happiness. Those were the good emotions. Fear, pain, abandonment, betrayal, and scared. Those were the ones we cause. All of us whether some wanted to admit it or not. Everyone here was here because they're name had been left in the list. I thought of the list and it brought a bad taste to my mouth. Naruto had left a name of everyone on the list that had impacted his choice to commit suicide.

Now I know what you're thinking. That means everybody fucked with Naruto in a major way. It means that it was everybody's fault that Naruto had to resort to this. But that's not the case right now. You'll find out about that from another person soon enough.

I looked over at Naruto's not so secret admirer and best friend. Hinata Hyuuga was pouring her lavender eyes out. This didn't come to a shock to anyone currently in the room. It was common knowledge that Hinata was in to Naruto. At first people dismissed it as just a simple crush. But I knew better. I know it was more than that. I knew that Hinata loved Naruto.

I looked at my brother figure Shikamaru. He obviously was the most level headed person in the hospital room right now. He seemed in deep concentration. I had tried to talk to him to see how he was doing. Every time I tried to talk to him he would keep muttering "Troublesome." And "This is my fault." I could understand why too but that's another story for another day.

I looked at the fat boy ahead of me. Choji. No matter how many times he said he was big boned he would always be fat to me. My chubby buddy is what I would often call him. His face looked green and I was pretty sure he would puke any moment now. Naruto and he may not have been the best of friends but they still hung out from time to time. I guess the thought of Naruto swallowing a handful of pills and going to sleep made him sick.

My eyes gazed over to Kiba. A part of me wanted to go slug him to the face repeatedly. Kiba had been one of Naruto's many tormentors for a very long time. It wasn't until Naruto stood up to him and beat the hell out of him after school that Kiba stopped. I know that it wasn't his fault entirely though. At least he finally stopped. Sadly I couldn't say the same for the two behind you.

I looked at my former best friend. Her pink hair had always made her stick out. I had always wondered if that was her natural color. We were best friends when we were younger. I had saved her from bullies that were teasing her about her forehead. Since then we had been the best of friends. That was until Sasuke entered our lives. I couldn't help but fall for him. Sadly so did Sakura. I could remember her approaching me that day. Someone had told her I had a crush on Sasuke. Sakura then broke off our friendship and claimed she wouldn't lose Sasuke to me. Sakura and I didn't let up on our advances on Sasuke which started from 4th grade all the way to our senior year. It was only when Naruto and I became friends that my crush for Sasuke ended.

Sakura had changed since we ended our friendship. The once innocent little girl turned bitter. Guys knew better to approach her for anything. That was every guy except Naruto. Naruto was turned down harshly every time too. It wasn't until one incident that Naruto's crush went away. That still didn't mean that she didn't verbally abuse him.

This was the person I hated the most. In my head I laughed at the irony of hating someone I thought I had loved. Now as far as I was concerned Sasuke Uchiha could rot in hell and if given the chance I would send him there myself. It was hard to believe that Naruto and Sasuke had been best friends. It wasn't until Sasuke's parents died that he turned bitter. Since then Naruto and Sasuke hated each other. Sasuke's took each and every chance to bring down Naruto. It didn't matter if it was openly insulting Naruto or physical abuse because Sasuke did both. As far as I was concerned Sasuke was the main reason for Naruto's suicide attempt.

The part the pissed me off the most was that Sasuke didn't even seem to care. At least Sakura had the decency to look guilt and sad. Sasuke looked as if he could care less whether Naruto lived or died.

"Would you stop that annoying crying?" Sasuke snapped. I glared at Sasuke, ready to defend Hinata. Imagine my surprise when Hinata quickly stood up, her eyes blazing with fire.

"Go to hell! This is mainly your fault! If you and the pink haired bitch had left him alone then it would've never come to this!" Hinata yelled. She was shaking with rage and I could see even Sasuke stayed away from her.

But Sasuke always had a comeback.

"I didn't do anything wrong. The idiot was just looking for a reason to kill himself." Sasuke sneered. Even Shikamaru couldn't predict what would happen next.

Hinata's fist met Sasuke's jaw. The impact of the blow sent Sasuke stumbling into the ground. Hinata cocked her fist back again only to be restrained by Kiba and Choji.

"You shut the fuck up! Let me go I'll kill him!" Hinata screamed. I had never seen Hinata so angry and to be honest it scared. I finally found my voice.

"Hinata he isn't worth it and you can't do this in Naruto's room." I said. Hinata instantly stopped. I watched the tears form in her eyes and I hugged her close.

That's when the door opened. I looked at the man oddly. Who the hell was he?

"My name Eric. I'm the physiatrist that the school sent. I'm looking for Ino Yamanaka." He stated.

"That's me." I said.

"Come with me please." I nodded my head and followed him. Not before taking one last look at Naruto though. I wiped a tear from my eye. 'You better pull through Naruto, or I'm afraid Hinata and I will be next on the suicide list.'

A/N: So how did I do? Give any type of review or ideas please!
