Tenten had left over three hours ago after she heard the shocking truth about my feelings.
The sun was brightly shining it's strongest, as the clock reads half-past-noon.
I'm getting of tired of watching the cardiac monitors lines rising up and down, but it's somehow strangely soothing me. The birds chirping, and the gentle breeze that tickles the curtains is somehow consoling me as well. I relax each and every muscle in my body and shut my eyes, off to a dreamy unrealistic place that keeps me at peace.

Theres hot hair being blown on my face.. I feel presence of somebody holding me warmly close to them. I don't hear the beeps, I don't feel all the wires connected to me that made me believe I was some robot. I steadily open my eyes unsure of what awaits me.

"Hinata." a famailar voice says.

I look, and to my utter surprise.. it's none other than the angel himself.

"Naruto-kun!" my heart leaps, my voice in excite and nervousness at the same time, so afraid of what he'd tell me now that he's awake.
or had he been awake the whole time I was in his room?!

My hearts beating fast, rapidly fast, so intensely fast, I didn't even realize this whole time that I am in his arms and I'm outside in the greenery with Naruto.. Naruto!

"Nobody.. has ever.." he starts, looking fiercely into my eyes.

And here it comes, my face turning shades of red, to a deep crimson.

"No one, has ever risked all that, told me so much.. in one day at least. "It was wrong of me not to take you out of that hospital.. but I need to make one thing clear with you. You have to know this."

My heart is seconds away from an explosion, but I'm giving him my undivided attention, listening quietly, respectfully, memorizing every word.

"Never.. ever.. EVER do anything like that again! Do you know how lucky you are that Sakura showed up in time to save you!? You almost died!"

I feel my heart drop as if someone had just placed a weight on it. But I'm not losing this battle, theres no going back now.

"It doesn't matter to me Naruto!" I shake my head in disagreement furiously.

"I don't care if I live or die, all I want is for you to be ok! You should know by now you mean more- I told you before! I love you!" My voice cracks at the last statement, gallons of water streaming from my eyes,
and I all I feel is my heart beating intensely.

Naruto's expression almost matches mine. Helpless and unsure of what to do. He says nothing, quivering his bottom lip, his eyebrows are down and I know he's holding back something.
My tears are making pitter-patter noises now as they fall, and I see his musculiane hands shake. Mine had been trembling from the very beginng. I clutch a patch of the earth and I feel it seep under my fingernails.

"Stop trying to protect me Hinata! You can barely defend yourself" I watch him scream out the obivious and I attempt to be bold.

"Your not-" I shut his never ending words up with my lips. My tears are still falling down. I open my eyes ever so slightly.
He looks shocked, but I can't blame him. He's frozen in position and I'm stationary as well.
Pulling away from the best moment I could've ever experinced, I use my knee and warely stand on my own two feet again, I turn my back on him and act as if I've been healed and begin to walk normally, no matter how incredibly bad it hurts.
I stop to look back at him, once more. He's still staring at me like he didn't understand what just happened.
I'm not even sure I did.
I clench my face together in pain as I turn away once more, finally.. falling. I dare not to look behind me but just stare at the dusty ground thats turning into mud from my tears.

I feel myself doze off to sleep, regardless of my location, what just occured or anything. I sleep.

I hear the cardiac monitor again, and curse myself for what I've allowed to happen. "Nar-"
my sentence cut off aburptly as I notice a sticky note on my forehead.
I peel it off eager to read it.

"Hinata.. I'll never forget what you did, I guess what I should've said was thank you.. for everything. You are brave and will hold a special place in my heart for eterinity."

Though theres no signature, I could tell immdeatly by the way "eternity" is spelled wrong. I smile widely as I hear the monitor speed up and I hold the note right next to my heart.
Where he said I'll always be.
where I know he'll always be.
