Hey everyone! I had writer's block... =.= But, I was listening to some music, and I found my inspiration! :D Here we go!
P.S.: I don't own Naruto.
It was about 4 in the afternoon when I got a call from her. During the time, I was at an icecream stand buying Cookies N Cream flavored icecream. As I'm eating it, I feel a vibration in my pocket and I hear my ringtone go off. I look at the caller I.D. and see that it's her. I happily glide my thumb across the screen of my phone to answer it.
I eagerly answer it with a big smile on my face.
"Hel-", I stop mid-sentence, as my smile slowly fades away as the seconds pass by. I hear her. But, instead of her usual excited yelling, or her casual bored tone, or even her shy mumbling, (which I haven't heard in quite a couple of years) I hear something different. A sound that makes my heart hurt, my head spin, and my eyes water. It's the sound of her crying. She's trying to say something, but her hoarse voice doesn't let her. That, and the fact that she keeps stuttering.
I don't speak for a couple minutes, giving her time to calm down. After about ten minutes, I decide to ask, "Hina-chan... What's wrong...?"
She responds by crying harder than before. I mentally slap myself, what a dumb question to ask! I sigh and listen to her sobs for a little longer. I briing my phone from my ear down to my side. By this point my icecream has melted down my hand and I walk over to a trash can to throw it away. I grab a napkin and wipe the melted icecream off my hand. After I finish all of that, I bring my phone back up to my ear, and I hear silence.
"Hinata?" I ask nervously, afraid she'll cry again.
She answers back in a very quiet whisper, "...Mhm..?"
"What's wrong...?"
She responds very quickly as if she's also afraid of crying again.
"He cheated."
Immediatly, I freeze up. Oh that son of a -
"...Can you come to the park?" She says, interrupting my thoughts.
"Sure, be over in a few."
With that being said, we hung up.
I literally SPRINT to the Konoha National Park from the icecream stand. Odd enough, I'm smiling while running there. I know I should feel anger, but I feel happy. Hinata has been dating my best friend Sasuke for about a year. Before he asked her out, I was trying to ask her out! But, I never had the courage to, and he beat me to it. He always does...
I slow down from my sprint to walking. I figure that I'll make it to the park in about 10 minutes by walking, and hopefully if she starts crying again 10 minutes will be enough time to stop crying. It's not that I'm annoyed to hear or see her cry, but that I'm scared to cry along with her. I want to look strong in front of her. I'm almost to the park, I see the sign that says, 'KONOHA NATIONAL PARK'.
My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am 16 years old, and in my Junior year of high school. My best friend is Sasuke Uchiha, and I've known him since I was 6. Hinata Hyuuga, the girl of my dreams, my closest friend that's a girl, the sweetest person you'll ever meet; was currently dating him up until now. I've been praying that someday we'll be together, and now that he cheated on her I can't help but feel happy. I hope that my prayers have been answered.
I want to make a place by her side, always by her side, not as a friend, but as a man.
I'll hold her in my arms and tell her I'll protect her from sadness.
