Warning: Violence! This chapter is chock full of violence/abuse, cursing, and a few derogatory terms that are used for people who are gay. If you do not like, then do not read. Finally, the M rating is coming in handy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, then Ino would be with Kiba. mmmm, Kiba. (XD haha that's from Naruto the Abridged Series)
Note: I've been planning on writing this chapter for a long time. I got the idea from the song "In Our Darkest Hour" by Phantom Planet. It's an awesome song and I love Phantom Planet lol. Also, this is the longest chapter I've written so far, it was about 5 pages on microsoft (I know, its not that long but it was long to me...) k, here it is:
(January)
Today was the day that Sasuke's mom, Mikoto, had left them. He personally had no feelings for the bitch. She had chosen to ditch Itachi and him and leave them with their son of a bitch 'father', so he didn't give a shit about her since she obviously didn't care about him.
His dad on the other hand felt differently. He thought that it was entirely Sasuke and Itachi's fault, though more Sasuke's than Itachi's. At least Itachi could get perfect grades and never got bullied. Sasuke had obviously been the one to drive his wife away and not his lack of job and drinking. Though, even if he'd had a job she would have left. She didn't have anything invested in their relationship except two kids and she could live without them. That had been eight years ago.
Now, every January 5th, Sasuke stayed out late.

Sasuke looked at a clock that was shining through the window of a gas station. 1:30am. He'd been walking around half heartedly thinking about going home. Now it was the 6th, so not technically the day of his mom's betrayal anymore. He sighed and decided that he might as well go home.
He lingered at the door of his place for a second. There wasn't any sound from a TV blaring on the other side, which seemed odd because that TV was always fucking on. He shrugged and went in.
Sitting on a chair facing the door was his dad. He had the blankest look on his face and it was innerving. He looked around the living room and saw that shit had been tossed everywhere. Their few pieces of furniture were knocked over and the TV was smashed on the ground. That explained why there hadn't been any noise coming from the apartment.
"Where the fuck have you been?" The blank look was still on his dad's face, but the words sounded like acid.
"Out."
A disturbing laugh started to come from the guy. He looked happy suddenly, no longer blank with no emotion. It wasn't a pleasant change. Sasuke started to shuffle uncomfortably and skimmed the floor. There were beer bottles scattered everywhere. Usually there were a lot, but today they basically carpeted the floor. By the broken TV there was some white powder on a plate. Sasuke's eyes started to dart around, that's new. He doesn't usually use drugs. This isn't good.
His maniacal laughing died down and he managed to force out some words. "What the fuck haha, makes you think you can –haha- do that?" Immediately after he got that little message out his face got sober. The laughing stopped and his bloodshot eyes bore into Sasuke.
Sasuke started to back away a bit.
"Don't you dare fucking move you goddamn faggot!" Without a second's noticed Uchiha senior stood up and grabbed Sasuke by his black hair, dragging him down. Sasuke fell on his stomach and his dad kicked him, forcing him to roll over. He tried to get up but a vicious kick to his side made him fall back down.
"You Stupid fucking fairy! You fucked up my whole life you know that! You made her leave us! Leave me!" His dad straddled him and punched him square in the nose. Blood started gushing and that only seemed to piss his dad off more. He pounded Sasuke's face for minutes that seemed like hours. One particular punch busted his lip and another almost definitely broke his jaw.
He leaned down to Sasuke's ear and started yelling. "You screwed everything up! This better fucking teach you!" Sasuke could smell the putrid alcohol breath and wanted to pass out from the pain, but all his years of getting beat up had let him build up a tolerance. He wanted to scream and cry but he wasn't going to give the fucker the satisfaction. Even when the fucker got up and smashed his foot down on his arm, the cracking sound echoing through the room, he barely uttered a sound.
For a little bit the yelling stopped and the only sound that could be heard was heavy breathing from both. Sasuke could feel blood drying on his face. Everything felt numb. His dad had never gone this far, the most he'd ever sustained was a broken nose. He felt like he wasn't real, like he was in a movie. His eyes were all puffy and he could barely see through them, but he still looked up at the fucker who had done this to him, not bothering to hide his bitter hatred like he usually did.
The cold eyes glared down at him. "Fucking fag. You ruined my life." He kicked Sasuke one last time with all his strength in the side, spit on him, and then walked out the door.
Sasuke lay there for a while, not quite sure what to do. Finally with a huge groan, he heaved himself up and wobbled to his room. He sat on the bed and, while using his only good arm, managed to put his computer in its case and get it over his shoulder. Then he left as fast as his broken body could carry him.
He wandered down the streets, not sure what to do. He looked up at the street he was on and absently decided that since he was close to Gaara's, so he'd just go there.
He opened the door to his friends place and went to go lie on the couch. He just wanted to fucking sleep. That was all he wanted. He closed his eyes and finally allowed himself to lose consciousness.

"Sasuke! Fuck Sasuke wake the fuck up, don't die!" In the distance Sasuke could hear a loud voice and thought that it should shut up. Eventually the voice faded and he was left to his blackness once again.

Gaara was freaking out. He'd woken up in his small but comfortable bed thinking that it was going to be an average Sunday. He was going to shower and then eat some Cheerios. He'd go to work at HomeDepot and then come home and eat a peanut butter sandwich or something. Waking up, walking into his living room, and finding his best friend passed out on his couch covered in blood with bruises and broken bones had not been what he was expecting. Not only that, but Sasuke wasn't waking up. He wanted to shake his friend awake but he didn't want to make his injuries worse. Screaming at Sasuke to wake up also wasn't working and now Gaara was freaking out. And Gaara Never freaked out.
"God, don't die Sasuke. Jus-just let me call an ambulance." He scrambled for his phone.
"911, What's your emergency."
"My friend is unconscious on my couch and he's bleeding and it looks like he has broken bones. H-he's not waking up." Gaara was breathing heavy, not sure what to do. This wasn't like him at all, he always knew what to do.
"Ok listen to me Sir, is he breathing?"
"umm." Gaara looked down and saw his chest moving up and down. "Yes."
"Ok, now please tell me where you are and I'll have an ambulance sent."
"***** Nutmeg, it's by the one building….." Gaara told her where to find his apartment and then tried to stay patient until help came. He stayed silent after talking to the 911 operator and became calm again as he watched his friend. The ambulance would be here soon.

Slowly, Sasuke became aware of things. It started with a slight murmur. Then words started to form ... and then faded away again. And eventually his eyes fluttered open, though 'flutter' wasn't a word Sasuke liked to use to describe him.
The light was blinding. Everything was so bright. When the light finally dimmed he had to think about where he was. He could have sworn he'd gone to Gaara's, but here he was in what looked liked an uncomfortable hospital bed. He was hooked up to an IV and the door to his room was cracked open.
What the fuck happened? He sat up and pain shot through him. His left arm was in a cast and he felt bandages on his face and sides. O yeah, the fucker beat me up.
The door of his room was pushed open and Sakura walked in. When she saw that he was sitting up she started yelling.
"Holy shit! You're awake! Kiba! Shino and Gaara! Come in here, he's awake!" Sasuke grimaced at the loud piercing shrieks but wasn't able to say anything before all his friends rushed into the room to see him. Kiba and Sakura ran to his bed and started fussing over him while Gaara and Shino stood in the doorway looking a bit unsure.
"Like dude you're like alright we like were so fucking like worried about you! Like never do that like again k?" Kiba's eyes were scared and the number of 'likes' just proved his worry.
Sasuke didn't want to talk just yet so he nodded his head in agreement. All his friends were scared for him and it meant so much. He still felt crappy from the beating but he was grateful his friends had stopped by to show they cared. The room was quiet after that and he waited for someone to say something
"What happened?" It was Shino who had broken the silence. They all turned to look at Sasuke expectantly. He had a feeling that Gaara probably had an idea of what took place, but the rest of his friends barely knew about his father's abuse.
He glanced off to the side, avoiding eye contact and answered. "My Dad…" His reply had been softer than he'd meant it to be and short, but it was all the answer they were going to get.
"What! That fucker did this too you! Sasuke you need to get out of there, we'll help you find another place!" Sakura was pissed and the anger was evident in her voice. "He had no right to do this Sasuke!"
Sasuke just shrugged. He knew it wasn't his fault or anything, but he'd been beaten up to the point where he was in the hospital so he didn't exactly feel good about himself. He just wanted silence at the moment.
Gaara stared at Sasuke, trying to decide what his friend was thinking at the moment. Sasuke probably just wanted to be left alone. Gaara decided that they'd all have to talk about this later. Meanwhile, Shino, Kiba, and him could go to Sasuke's place and grab his stuff. Sasuke would be living with him now and there wouldn't be any arguments. He'd been needing a roommate for a while and Sasuke was the only person he could even imagine being able to stand living with. It would all work out. Plus they both planned on attending the same college, so that would make things easier.
Gaara nodded to himself. "I think we should leave for now."
"but Sasuke's-" He cut Sakura off.
"I think he would prefer to be by himself at the moment." Sakura and Kiba looked like they were about to argue and then changed their minds.
"'kay"
They all headed out the door with Gaara at the back. Before he made it out though, he turned and laid something on Sasuke's bedside table.
"You had this when you came to my place." Then he left, shutting the door behind him.

Hours later, after the nurses and doctors had come in and asked question after question, he was finally able to be by himself. Sasuke flipped open his lap top and logged onto his chat website.
Ramen4thewin: where'v u been these past days?
thechange95: shit happened. Can we tak about something else? Tell me bout ur day
Ramen4thewin: sher. Well, I had toast 4 breakfast and I watched CSI 4 the first time 2day.
thechange95: toast and CSI huh?
Ramen4thewin: yep lol. Toast is the best! …except for ramen :)
Sasuke smiled. He'd been feeling like shit lately. He'd felt like shit when his dad beat him up. He'd felt like shit when his friends had visited. And he definitely had felt like shit when the doctors/nurses had checked on him. But looking at the screen and Ramen's ramblings, he couldn't help but feel… not like shit. He felt relaxed and happy.
He turned back and saw that Ramen had continued typing and describing his day.
…. and I didn't believe that roadrunners were real. So my friend had to go online and show me pics. Theyr real. Crazy huh?
thechange95: You're perfect
idle 5 minutes
Ramen4thewin: thanks Change
Sasuke smiled again.
thechange95: your welcome
