I wiped my makeup off trying to ignore the painful sobs of my roommate in the next room. Satisfied at the plain person the mirror was reflecting, I quickly braided my hair and tugged a semi-clean shirt on. I stood in the doorway looking at Sakura curled around a pillow, her eyes a puffy red and she was still crying. I sighed and walked over, pulling my ailing friend into a hug.
"Oh honey he doesn't deserve you" I whispered lying through my teeth. No guy could stand being near her after a month or so and I could only remember her having one relationship that lasted over a year. Naruto had been perfect for her but she didn't think he was good enough and broke it off.
"You really think so?" she was so unsure of herself, eyes tearing up again. I nodded, snorting internally, looking right into her jade green eyes.
"I really do, honey why don't I make you some tea and you can get some rest" I sighed, some days I wanted to hit her and scream not everything in life had to do with shopping, boys and sex. Sakura never learned from her mistakes. I grabbed the good rum bottle from the top shelf and added a shots worth to her tea hoping it would knock her out, looking at it I added it to mine shrugging. "Better to be drunk when listening to the ravings of a mad woman" it was a saying my grandmother had told me once or twice growing up, having to listen to her husband screech about the ice cream king more the once in his senile years. I left the mug in sight and retreated to my room. I turned the key, locking the door once in. That was the one thing I loved about this house was that everything was old, including the furniture. I grabbed the phone ringing one of the few numbers I knew by heart.
"Hey Naruto" I muttered tired
"Hello?" his voice had a croaky quality to it, I must have woken him.
"It's me, sorry about this but Sakura has once again been dumped and you're better at dealing with it then me" I could hear something crack as he yawned. "Hey no problem, I'll be down soon, oh and did you get the message I left earlier?" I glanced at the phone, confused, as if it would show the answer.
"No I didn't but I will look at it in the morning, night" I hung it up without a reply from him and slid under the covers of a thick quilt falling asleep without a care for Sakura.
