Don't Forget Me
Chapter Two.
You know when the world stops and it feel like time is at a standstill? That's where Sakura was staring down at Naruto's body not knowing what exactly was going on, and then like being hit by a good right hook everything caught up to her and she knew what had happened. "Oh shit… oh shit!" She pushed up off the ground and ran back into her apartment. She flipped open her phone before dialing 911.
"Hi! Yes! My friend just fell from my porch! It's a second story apartment! Yes! I live on second avenue!" Sakura bolted out of her apartment and ran down the stairs. She hung up the phone before flipping it open again.
"Sasuke!" she screamed over the line.
"Sakura? What? It's like one in the morning? Did Naruto finally admit he likes you?
"No you idiot! Naruto just fell off my back porch!" She screamed rounding the building. Naruto's body finally came into view. "I have to go meet me at the hospital!"
Wait! What—
Sakura slammed her phone shut before running as fast as she could to the blonde's side. She gasped the closer she got. She dropped to her knees when she finally reached him. "Naruto?" she reached out tenderly touching his back. She bit her lip before rolling him over onto his back. She let out a shaky breath seeing a large gash on the side of his face. "Come on Naruto… don't do this," she whispered cupping his face. "Open your eyes… give me that reassuring smile…" she looked around hoping to her an ambulance.
"Damnit! Naruto!" Sakura let out a yell. It seemed like she waited there for hours before an ambulance arrived. In reality it had only been five minutes. Time seemed to do that funning thing where it slowed down as she climbed into the back of the ambulance.
Next thing the pinkette knew was she was sitting in the waiting room on the fourth floor of Konoha hospital. She chewed on her lip nervously. Her eyes darted around the waiting room. She couldn't stand still. Her mind was hardly even functioning.
"Sakura!" She looked up seeing Sasuke walking into the waiting room with Sai not far behind him.
"You guys!" Sakura let out a sob before hugging the two boys. The two sat their shocked for a moment. When Sasuke had first gotten the call he assumed that the two were playing a prank on him. But now with Sakura bawling he knew for sure Naruto wasn't going to jump out of some hiding place and laugh.
"Shit," Sasuke grabbed Sakura and pulled her away. "What the hell happened?"
"W-we w-we-were," Sakura stammered making it hard for her to talk.
"Come on," Sai said pulling her to sit down. "Head between your legs," Sakura spread her legs before Sai pushed her head down. "Now breath," Sakura took in a few deep breaths until her breathing finally evened out. She sat back up and whipped away her tears. "Now, tell us what happened."
Sakura nodded before her shaky voice came out. "We were talking on the back porch… and then the railing just broke and Naruto fell!" She squeaked out the last part before going into another fit of tears. Sai pushed Sakura's head back down between her legs before giving Sasuke a worried look.
"Shit…" Sasuke said before sitting back in his seat. I told her she needed to get that fixed… he thought to himself but thought better then to bring it up and make the pinkette blame the whole thing on herself. "Well," he said when Sakura sat back up. "There's nothing we can do until he wakes up. So stop crying," Sakura nodded before pulling at her long sleeves.

Once Naruto had been moved out of the ICU and into a regular room Sakura had refused to leave his side. It had only been two days since the blonde had fallen from her porch but to Sakura it let like years. Her best friend was lying in a hospital bed and she had no idea when he would wake up. Sakura's eyes were red and puffy from the crying she had done and the lack of sleep she had gotten.
Sakura looked up hearing the door opened. She sighed in relief seeing it was Sasuke. She watched as Sasuke's eyes moved from her to Naruto. His eyes instantly lit up and he moved to the bed. "Dobe you're finally awake," Sasuke smirked at the blonde who was slowly trying to sit up.
Sakura turned to look at Naruto. She sighed in relief. She stood up only for the door to open again. Ino, Shikamaru and Choji moved into the room. In Ino's hand was a large vase filled with red roses.
Naruto's eyes landed on Ino and followed her as she moved to place the flowers on the table next to his bed. Sakura moved in front of his gaze waving her hand in front of his face. "Hello! Earth to Naruto!" Naruto turned to face the pinkette. "I swear Naruto! You really had me freaked! You idiot!" Naruto glared at Sakura who was she to say that to him.
"Who are you to call me an idiot?" Sakura's jaw dropped at his voice. When had Naruto ever gotten angry with her? This was Naruto they were talking about. Nicest boy to every walk the earth.
"Don't pay attention to Forehead. We're just glad that you're okay," Ino smiled before sitting on the bed. Sakura huffed before plopping back down in the chair she had spent the last two nights sleeping in. Naruto's eyes wondered from Ino to the rest of the people that sat around him. His eyes landed on Sakura. Whoever that girl was had some serious manner problems. He then turned to face Ino, now that was a real girl.
"So buddy, how ya feeling?" Sasuke asked. Naruto looked away from Ino to look at Sasuke. Naruto stared at him for a moment before it finally hit him. He didn't know who any of these people were. Not the skinny tall boy. Not the tall chubby one. Not the hot blonde. Not the annoying pink haired girl. And not the boy who was talking to him.
"I feel fine… but… uh… who are you?"
"What?" Sasuke asked as if the blonde was telling a bad joke.
"I don't know who any of you are?" The whole room grew quite. Sakura stared at Naruto her jaw dropped. That was why he had been so mean to her. He didn't remember her. Wait. He didn't remember her! Tears streamed from her eyes as if all the pain and sadness she was feeling were falling in streams down her face. How could this be happening?
"I'm going to go find a doctor," Sasuke said before moving out of the room. Sakura sat their staring at Naruto not sure what to do. The door opened and Sai walked in.
"Oh I see dickless finally woke up," Sai smiled only to earn a glare from Naruto. "What's his problem?" Sai asked to the crying pinkette.
"He doesn't remember us," she cried. "He doesn't know who I am."
It was only a few minutes before the door opened and Sasuke came in with the doctor. Ino moved away from the bed. "What seems to be the problem?" the doctor asked looking over the group.
"Uhh…" Sasuke shoved his hands into his pockets. "He doesn't remember who we are. Not even Sakura and I and we've known him since we were kids."
The doctor nodded before looking over Naruto. Checking his eyes and what not. "Well it just seems to be a case of Amnesia," The doctor stood up straight before meeting Sasuke's eyes. "He'll gradually get his memories back but it'll take some time. He'll be fine on his own since it seems he's only forgotten certain things. Like he knows how to take care of himself so you don't have to worry about that. It would still probably be a good thing for you someone to be with him at all times, he really should operate any machinery like cars and such," The group nodded. "The best thing for you lot to do as his friends it to take him to places he'll remember and just well wait for his memories to come back."
The doctor moved to leave. "When will he be able to leave?" Sasuke asked.
"We'll keep him one more night and we'll release him in the morning."
"Thank you," Sasuke said quickly as the man left. Sasuke turned back to look at the blonde. Oh yeah, things were getting interesting.
