Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me

(Hinata's POV)

The hospital... She was going to save Naruto-kun.

During the run towards the hospital, she screamed, "I'm sorry", over and over again, tears flowing down her face.

She sped up, now determined to save Naruto-kun. I didn't want to think it, but I didn't think we would make in time. I cringed as I thought about it.

...

(Naruto's POV)

There were four of them now. They were all moving fast, screaming out orders to each other as they fumbled with equipment. The expressions on all of their faces matched. They all looked extremely worried, as if they were sure they were going to fail.

I had no expression on my face that said I was worried or scared, but I sure as hell was. Both me and the nurses knew damn well that Sakura was the only one who could perform such an operation. She was the most talented in the village when it came to taking care of deep wounds, though I knew how she now felt about me. I knew she wouldn't help me. The situation was hopeless.

I could feel my body getting weaker.

(Hinata's POV)

As we entered, Sakura shoved me into a nurse and took off down a hallway. I looked at the nurse as I tried to stand up. She looked puzzled, but quickly called over another nurse to put me on a stretcher and take me to a room to get treated. I was worried, not just about myself, but about Naruto-kun and Sakura.

I was worried that Naruto-kun wouldn't get treated soon enough, but I was also worried about what they will do to Sakura once they find out that what she did to me. I knew that if it was up to me, I would do nothing but forgive her.

(Sakura's POV)

I sprinted down each hallway, checking each room I ran by, but so far I had no luck on finding Naruto. I cursed myself for being so selfish.

I found a nurse about to enter a room, but stopped her before she could. She waited for me as I slowly approached her, out of breath.

I was panting heavily as I put my hands on my knees.

"What room... What room will I find Naruto Uzumaki in?" I asked between breaths.

"U-umm... He is located in the room I am entering, but I don't think you will be allowed to ent-"

I shoved her as hard as I could away from the door and ran inside. All of the nurses shot up, surprised.

I ran towards the bed.

"Everyone move! Now!" I screamed, pushing them aside.

"Excuse me, b-"

The nurse was interrupted by Naruto.

"No! She's the one! She can help me!"

She looked at me, and then slowly nodded, signaling for the other nurses to leave with her.

(Hinata's POV)

They took care of my wounds easily, telling me that they were nothing serious. I nodded and thanked them as they left the room. After all of them left, the room became silent and still. I thought about how this day had changed so much. It started off as such a peaceful morning... But now...

I wondered if they would send me to the institution today, since that was the original plan.

...

One hour later...

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. I yawned, and then finally replied.

"Come in".

Sakura walked in, not making any eye contact. She slowly walked to the chair beside my bed and sat down. I looked at her, but she still wasn't making any eye contact. She sighed, just before finally speaking.

"I saved Naruto's life".
