"How do you feel today Naruto?" A pink haired girl asks as she lays down a tray of soup on his lap and fluffs his pillow to make him more comfortable.
The guy shrugs as he grabs his spoon and starts eating his soup that was hot just the way he liked it. But he'd never tell that.
"Okay well i'm just going to open up the blinds and let some light in." She sighed really hoping she could get a response out of him.
She reached over to the blinds and pulled them making sunshine spill into the once extremely dark room.
"There isn't that better?" She smiled looking over at the guy who had not said a thing since he got rushed into the hospital that day.
*Flashback*
"Multiple bruises on his back and stomach, might be internal bleeding, his breathing is becoming unstable and i'm sure he has some broken ribs." A nurse reported.
"What happened to him?" Sakura asked wiping some blood off of his forehead.
"Car accident, he wasn't driving but he got hit by this drunk driver." A nurse answered.
"Do we have a name on him?" Sakura asked as they went through the double doors that led to the surgical unit.
"Yes there was an ID on him, His name is Naruto Uzumaki, age 19, born October 10th 1997." A nurse reported.
"Naruto Uzumaki.." Sakura whispered looking down at the guy who layed unconscious.
Suddenly his body started shaking and he began to cough up blood.
"He's going into shock, get him into a room quick!" A doctor finally said approaching the situation.
*End of Flashback*
"So you want to tell me how you're feeling, are you in any pain?" Sakura asked hoping to get something more out of him then his usual nod or shrugg.
He just shook his head as he gave up on using a spoon and began to sip right out of the bowl.
"Okay well i'll be back to check up on you later." Sakura said in her usual caring tone as she checked his IV tubes and his oxygen that he still needed to be on until his ribs healed a little bit more for he wouldn't accidentally puncture a rib trying to breathe.
She exited the room giving a big sigh as she reported to her boss the status of her patient.
"Ms. Tsunade I just finished his check up." Sakura said entering the break room where her instructor was pouring herself some coffee.
"Still no word out of him?" Tsunade asked stirring some cream into her coffee.
"No..but I think he's healing quite well." Sakura said positively.
"Yes but we must not rush his leaving, he came in pretty bad shape." Tsunade said.
Sakura nodded remembering when she went home later that night the car accident had been reported on the news about a boy being hit by a drunk driver crossing the street.
Apparently the drunk driver had just recently broken up with his girlfriend and decided to drown his sorrows at the local bar. It was one in the morning by the time he left the bar drunk and accidentally hit Naruto.
Unfortunately the driver had died on the scene of the accident and Naruto was in serious condition.
But Sakura always wondered just why Naruto was walking across the street at one in the morning anyway?
And even though Naruto had and ID when they tried to contact his parents his file had absolutely no parents listed on Emergency.
The entire thing was unsettling to Sakura..but she didn't have any right to judge considering her situation was kind of similiar when it came to not having parents.
She had got emancipated from her parents at the age of 17 and currently she was 19 right now. But the reason for that was her dad was a drunk alocholic and her mother just didn't care. So when she went to court and fought for her freedom to be alone it didn't take much to persuae them into letting her get her own apartment and live by herself.
Now she was a nurse working in the Hospital to help people as much as she could.
"Okay well i'm going to make sure he doesn't need anything and then i'll be on my way home." Sakura informed.
"Alright, good work today." Tsunade complimented sipping her coffee and waving the pink haired girl off.
"Thanks!" Sakura smiled walking out the break room and back to Naruto to see if he needed any last minute things before she left and another nurse took over.
"Naruto do you need anything before my shift ends?" Sakura says entering the room only to gasp.
The room was completely empty, and the window was wide open.
"Oh my.." Sakura quickly went over to the bed to find a napkin lying there with some words quickly scribbled on there.
"Thank you... "
~Naruto
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2 months later.
"Uhgg forehead why do you have to be so busy I want to hang out!" Ino complained over the phone.
"I'm sorry Ino but you know my job is important to me." Sakura apologized.
"I know but you've been so busy we rarely had time to hang out." Ino pouted.
"Listen Ino-pig, can't Shikamaru and you hang out?" Sakura asked getting irritated.
Ino and her boyfriend Shikamaru had been together for a good 3 months and they spent mostly all their time with each other. They were always doing something rather Shikamaru wanted to or not. But he loved his girlfriend none the less.
"Yeah but i've taken him every where and he's having a guys night out anyway." Ino said rolling her eyes.
"Well i'm sorry Ino but I have to go in, the Hospitals short on staff tonight." Sakura explained.
"Fine but you owe me, you got that forehead?" Ino yelled.
"Fine whatever bye!" Sakura said hanging up the phone.
Sakura was so worn out these days, but she was finally getting some attention around the Hospital that didn't have to do with her patient escaping.
When Naruto had escaped that night it made the news and everything but nobody had found him since. Sakura still worried about him until this day. She knew his wounds hadn't completely healed. And she just wondered if he was okay.
Shaking herself from her thoughts she picked up her purse and headed out the door.
But on the way out she bumped into someone she never thought she would've seen again.
"Sasuke?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
