Felt like writing something new so here it is. Please read and review. Feedback is much appreciated especially since I take it into account when writing the story. It really helps in trying to figure if I'm missing something or not.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Naruto.
They used to be in love. People used to say that they would last forever. He was going to propose to her. They were supposed to live together, have kids and grow old together. But now that was not the case.
They had broken up. One told the other that there was no love anymore. People then said that they saw that coming. The ring he bought for her was now sold. They had moved far away from each other. They never saw one another for four years. That was until...
Hinata stood outside the room staring into it through the glass by the door. Inside on the bed laid Naruto Uzumaki, unconscious and bandaged from head to toe with wires hooked to his body to monitor his condition. He had been in a horrible car accident and somehow he had survived it, but not without major injuries. Right now he was in a coma and the doctors could not assure her of when he would wake up. It could be days, weeks, months or years.
Hinata had not seen Naruto for four years. The last time she saw him was after her 22nd birthday. It was a day to celebrate her birthday again but without a party that her friends held for her. It was supposed to be just between the two of them, but something went wrong. One thing led to another and at the end of the day they had broken up.
After that Naruto had disappeared without a trace and Hinata could not help but think that she was the cause of everything that went wrong in their relationship. She blamed herself for his departure as well. But soon she learned to live without his presence even if it was the hardest thing to do. They had been dating for four years, since they started college, so to try and get over all that history was impossible for her.
She would admit that somewhere in her heart she still cared for him which was why she dropped everything and rushed as soon as she could to get to his side when she found out about him.
He was an orphan from a young age and the only family he had was his godfather who had died a long time ago. When they were dating he had put Hinata as his emergency contact since she was the closest thing he had to family. It seemed that he hadn't gotten around to changing that because when he got into a fatal car accident, the first person who was informed about his condition was Hinata.
She was surprised to hear Naruto's name being called on the other end of the line, but as soon as she heard about his critical condition she dismissed everything and went after him. She was scared to lose a man she hadn't met in years, a man who had broken her heart, but a man who still held a part of her heart.
Now she stood outside his room in the hospital, contemplating what to do next. She wanted to stay by his side and wait for him to wake up. She wanted to go inside and trace his features to see how much he had changed in the past four years. She wanted to hear his voice and stare into his bright blue eyes. She wanted to go back to how things used to be between them. She wanted to be with him again. But she knew she shouldn't and she couldn't. He had made it very clear on that day that he did not love her and that they could never be together. Her heart had told her that it was a lie, that he was lying to push her away. But then he disappeared and she knew how serious he was about leaving her.
So she decided that she would leave him too, even in the condition that he was in because she knew he was okay now. She left the hospital without entering his room, even after she had stayed there for hours waiting for his surgery to end, and then some more to make sure he was stable.
She had told herself that he was safe now and she didn't need to be there to see him. She went back to her house which was surprisingly in the same city where he was in the hospital. Even with that she had told herself to keep her distance. Yet the next day she came to check up on him, and then again the day after that and the day after that until it was routine for her to visit him in his comatose state at least once a week until he woke up.
Naruto had woken up a month after his accident but he was still not ready to leave the hospital. As soon as Hinata was informed of the change in his condition, she rushed to the hospital to finally meet him but when she arrived, she could not go past the door. Staring into the room through the glass window on the door she saw another woman hugging him and kissing him. She was worrying over the wounds he suffered while he just reassured her in the same carefree manner Hinata was so familiar with.
Looking at him now, Hinata knew that he had moved on but some part of her didn't believe that. She knew that her finding him again like this after all these years was for a reason so the least she could get were some answers from him. With that determination, she turned the knob and headed inside the room to face Naruto for the first time in four years.
