''I guess winter wasn't our season.'' She kept her eyes down casted and fingered the small chip on her mug handle.
Her reply sounded disheartening and no immediate clarification followed. Her eyes, even through the puffiness showed guilt, pain, weariness, misery and Hinata hoped she didn´t also see regret.
Sakura outlined the handle once more and released a long sigh.
´´Sakura... ´´
´´Hm..?´´
She still wouldn´t look at her.
´´We aren´t going to get anywhere if you don't tell me exactly what happened.¨ she tried not to let the desperation creep up her voice but the way Sakura shifted her eyesight to the floor and back to the mug she knew she must of caught some of it.
''Right…sorry,'' taking a sip of the dark coffee she let her thoughts fall to place as the warm liquid eased her aching throat. ´´Three months ago, in September, Naruto started to act differently around me. He would kiss me less, hold me less and even talk to me less, he was….´´
´´He was loosing interest.´´ Hinata assisted, sounding surprised. How is it that he could loose interest in her, if she was the only thing that occupied his thoughts ever since he laid eyes on her.
´´I thought so too, that he was loosing interest in me, but then he became his usual optimistic self, you know what I mean, and things where fine again….for a while.´´ taking a deep breath she added, ´´In October things started to get really bad.'' Here, she found her fingers particularly fascinating and started to play with them, the miserableness never leaving her face.
Hinata frowned ´´And then….?''
´´Well, we argued, I hit him, and then we just broke up and here I am.´´ She had rambled Sakura never rambled unless….
In that moment Hinata knew something was amiss, something that Sakura wasn´t telling her, and if she was going to find out, she rather it be sooner than later, that way it wouldn´t hurt as much, that way she could be mentally prepared. Prepared for when one reason on top another would stack up and yell, Naruto is a jackass, stay away!
´´Sakura, I know you. Now look at me.´´ she wouldn´t ´´look at me…´´ she didn´t, and Hinata let out an understanding sigh.
Pushing her chair back just enough to be able to lean across the table, Hinata grabbed Sakura´s chin and strained her face forward, ´´Look at me now…...please,´´ she had emphasized each word and yet their eyes did not meet but she would not let go.
´´I know you,´´ she repeated, ´´and whatever it is you did or whatever it is that happened, I´m here for you, I want to help you, I don´t like seeing you like this, so please…tell me what your not.´´
Without hesitation vibrant green met hazy purple. There she is, smiling Hinata released her hold and settled down, now to face the truth.
Even if they had been friends for years it still took some encouragement to remember the trust they had build with each other and something that had happened overnight was not going to change that.
Or at least that's what Hinata thought.
