Chapter Two
Naruto walked to his apartment . He went inside and slammed the door. He tossed his bag and rushed to his bed to sob. He stayed there for a while, his back heaving and breathing heavy. Tears wettened his sheets and fell from his face one after another. They just never stopped . His heart felt so heavy and hurted him so much . He wanted to end the pain and die. He now has no reason to live. No friends, no family, only nothing. Why was this happening to him? He never did anything wrong in his life, but people still hated him. They always have and always will.
Naruto finally got up. He went to his kitchen. He pulled the drawer open and took out a small silver blade. He then went back to his room and sat on the floor. He pulled down his sleeve to show his bare arm. He placed the sharp edge of blade on his arm and sliced a line across his wrist, breaking the pressure of his skin. Blood seeped out of the cut in droplets and fell onto the carpet, one by one. This pain isn't even equal to the pain in his heart. People rejected him, hurt him, and hated him. Enough is enough. His heart just couldn't take all the pain anymore. He cut again and only again, staggering the once fine and smooth skin with hatches. His once bare arm was satisfyingly covered in crosshatches of deep red. He dropped the blade and tiled his head back to shut his eyes and cry. Thoughts came swirling into his mind like a tornado in Kansas."Sasuke...why? Why do you hate me? I loved you. No one loved me. You were the first to accept me. And the first to create a wound this deep in my heart. I swear it wasn't me that picked you, it was my heart! You have every right to hate me! I'm just a nobody...I just want you to be happy, if not seeing me makes you happy. Then I'll stay away from you. As long as you're happy..." Naruto soon lost consciousness due to blood loss.
-The Next Day-
Naruto woke up on the blood soiled carpet. He remembered everything from the previous day. He got up looking at his arms, they were full of scratches and dried blood. It was 7 AM. Even though he didn't want to go to school, he got ready anyways. He had to because he knew his punishment will be painful if he was absent. He walked to the bathroom and looked at his reflection in the mirror. All he could focus on was how dull his eyes were and how faded and messy his hair was. He hated it, those marks on his cheeks, and how tan his skin was. He hated everything about himself, no wonder why Sasuke hated him. He was just an ugly gay freak.
He then decided he needed a hot shower to clean off all the blood and to calm down. He took off his clothes and and went over to his shower. In the shower his cuts stung as water drippled across them. He ignored it and went ahead to wash his body and hair. As soon as he closed his eyes an image of Sasuke popped in his head. Naruto winced and punched the wall. "God dammit! Why do I keep remembering you?! Why are you all I can think of?!" Naruto stepped out of his shower and took a towel and wrapped it around his lower reigon angrily. He exited the bathroom and got dressed into a long sleeved shirt to make sure his scars were nowhere to be seen. He grabbed his bag and locked the door when he got out.
Naruto sighed to himself. how was he going to face Sasuke after yesterday? Sasuke now hated his guts. He remembered his words and frowned. "Shut up! I don't even want to hear my name coming out of your filthy mouth. Don't come to my house ever again, don't ask me to tutor you. Don't even look at me!"
He soon arrived at school. The school looked deserted, but he wasn't going to go back. It wasn't like the school will eat him If he arrived a bit early. He entered the hallways there wasn't anyone there except for five students. Naruto didn't care. All he wanted was to get to class so this day could end sooner. The blond passed some teen that looked like he was going to the gym since he was born. His muscles looked like they were going to rip through his shirt and all of his bones any moment now. Naruto just passed him, not even making eye contact with him.
"Hey you! " Naruto turned around and finally made eye contact with him.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked, innocent toned.
"Hell yeah there is, queer freak. You and being gay is the problem." Naruto was shocked, stunned, and dumbfounded all in one. Why did people wanna bother him this much? It wasn't like he was the only gay guy in the whole world.
"What's wrong with me being gay?" He shouted, obviously angered.
"You little pissy queen, don't talk to me like that!" Naruto was going to remark back, but he felt a bloodcurdling punch land in his gut. Due to the impact, he started hacking and coughing up blood.
"W-Why are you doing this to me?" He muttered through pants.
"Because I hate faggots, that's why." The bully picked him up by the collar again and swung another punch to Naruto's gut. The bully once again let go of his collar and let him fall down to the ground, with the blood from before still dripping from his swollen lips.
"Please-stop..."
"Shut up!" A kick was planted into the boy on the floor's stomach. "You're just some pansy girly boy! Just go burn in hell. No wants you alive. Just do a favor for us normal humans and kill yourself!" The bully picked up Naruto by his collar and slammed him against the lockers.
"You're a nobody, someone who's supposed to die and not exist. Everyone wants you dead. So just go drink some bleach. It'll make us all happy. You're just a waste of pure oxygen. Some people need it more then you. So just die already" He let go of Naruto but not before he gave him another good kick. He left with a scowl on his face.
Naruto just sat there, his tears already like a fountain. Why did they hate him so much? Why was everybody directing their hatred to him? Wasn't he a normal human? Why do they hate me? I want to die! I want to go and burn myself. I haven't done anything and I'm hated like this. Why? I just want one person to accept me and love me. That'll never happen . Who wants to be seen with a freak like me?! I'm a nobody , a stupid ugly freak! Tears were burning his bloodshot, swollen cheeks. One tear after another. They just never stopped because he had no control over them. Death was better then being called a nobody, gay freak, outcast, and so much more. He just wanted to get out of this dark world. And finally be happy. And death was the far best solution.
Naruto finally got up. His body was sore from all the kicks and punches, but so was his heart. He dragged himself and his bag to the classroom. He knocked the door and when a "come in" was heard, he opened the door. To Naruto's surprise, class had already started. He had been laying there for a while. Nearly everyone was staring at him, fire burning in their hate-filled eyes.
"Where were you? Class started fifteen minutes ago. And what happened to your clothes? This is a school, not a home for the homeless."
"I'm sorry, something happened and I accidentally hurt myself. I just noticed that I was bleeding."
"This is your last chance. Take your seat."
"Thank you." he entered and took his seat, still receiving looks and scowls from most people in the room. Especially from Sasuke. If glares could kill, Naruto would be long dead by now. "This was going to be a long day..." Naruto mentally sighed
