Overwhelming emotions.

Today I stopped by the studio. It's been closed for a while. There's been too much going on.

I didn't even get anything done today. I would usually paint to ease my mind or help me come up with a solution to my problems.

Before I went home, I stopped by my favorite ramen spot.

Sasuke hasn't been around lately and that isn't good.

The last time I seen him was when we got into that small fight.

My side was still hurting from the kick Sasuke gave me. I didn't bother to go to the hospital to get myself checked out. They would have asked me thousands of questions about what happened. I didn't have time for it. I just prayed that my ribs would heal up normally and it looked like they were.

I've been trying to get in contact with Sakura since I saw her at Ino's funeral. There's never an answer when I call. I tried to stop by her apartment once and awhile. The security guards wouldn't let me go upstairs since that little incident.

Things are getting so overwhelming for Sakura and I.

I don't know what I'm going to do about Sasuke anymore, but I'm going to try to the best of my abilities to protect Sakura from him.

Sasuke is just so dangerous now. No one knows how he thinks or what he is capable of. He has no limits and I've seen how cruel Sasuke can be.

He's killed people in front of me.

Part of me started to fear Sasuke a long time ago.

There are so many people out on the streets working for Sasuke. You don't even know who's watching or listening to you.

Just the fact the Sasuke hasn't been around is scary itself.

I attempted to try to get in contact with Sakura again while I was home. I spent a few hours trying to call her. There was no answer and I fell asleep.

My phone started ringing. I could hear it in my slumber.

I jumped up quickly and answered my phone.

I was hoping that it was Sakura finally calling me back.

"Hello!?"

"Is this Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Yes, it is. Who is this?"

"I'm one of the doctors at the hospital. I'm calling to inform you that your girlfriend is in the hospital."

"Sakura…? What happened!?"

"Someone found her in the hallway of the apartment building she lives in. She was lying on the ground in a puddle of blood. There was a giant gash in her shoulder. It looks as though someone sliced and/or stabbed her. "

While he was speaking, I thrown some shoes on, and rushed out the door. How did something like this even happen? Did Sasuke have something to do with this?

The hospital was only a short distance from my house.

When I arrived at the hospital, I went to straight to the desk. The woman gave me Sakura's room number and I rushed to the room.

The room was completely silent. I could hear footsteps from all the way down the hall. That's how quiet it was.

I took gentle and light footsteps walking towards her. She didn't even turn her head to see who was walking in the room.

Sakura was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. Her shoulder was stitched up. It looked so red and swollen.

"I asked them not to call you, but they did it anyways…"

"How long have you been in here?"

"Hours."

"Sakura, what happened? Who did this to you...? Why did they wait so long to call me? It's almost midnight."

"I went to see my mother."

"Alone? Why would you go there alone? Are you out of your mind?" I sat on one side of the hospital bed near Sakura.

"She said she was sick. So I thought I would go see her… But it was a lie. She even tried to rape me. She thought she would have to whore herself out to me for money. Sad isn't it?"

"Sakura…"

"Don't do that. Don't give me that voice when you're concerned or worried. Don't do that…"

"I'll always be concerned about you… You shouldn't go around her alone anymore. You shouldn't go around her at all after what happened with the baby."

"The baby… It's not… It's not all her fault, regarding the baby. She did stress me out, but she can't be the one to be fully blamed." She paused for a moment and sighed. I could hear frustration and disappointment in her voice.

"What do you mean?"

"It's odd. This is the same room I was in when I found out I lost our child. I haven't told you the real reason why I lost our child."

"This room?" I felt overwhelmingly guilty when she said that. I wasn't here for her when this was going on. There isn't any way in the world I could make something like that up to her or make her forgive me. "Real reason? What IS the real reason?" I was confused. I didn't know what she was talking about. There's another reason other than her mom? I didn't expect to hear anything like this coming from her.

"I guess it would be the right time to tell you. This is the only chance I'll get to tell you… One day at school, there was a guy standing at the gates with a black hoody on. As I walked inside of the gates, he pushed me… And I fell on my stomach."

My body went numb.

"What?! What do you mean he pushed you? He just pushed you for no reason?"

"While I was falling, I wrapped my arms around my stomach. It was the only thing I could do at that time, but it wasn't good enough. After that a week or so later, I started discharging a lot of blood. I didn't know what was going on."

"Why didn't you tell me this? Who did it? Did you see his face?"

"I wanted to call you and tell you what was going. I was scared. So I went to the hospital alone. They placed me in this room. It was such a beautiful room. It was one of the rooms in the hospital with an actual balcony. I thought the beauty of the room was a good sign; everything was going to be okay. I was wrong once again. The doctor came in the room. He told me our child was gone. It was gone that quick. I didn't even have a chance to be a mother. I didn't tell you because you were working. There was so much on your plate already. Why should you have to deal with my problems too? And I thought to myself, I lost our baby. Naruto isn't going to love me anymore. I've been sitting here acting like a saint, but I've lied to you too about this. I'm a horrible person..."

"Don't talk like that! It's not your fault. None of this is your fault. I should have been there."

"You shouldn't have to worry about me anymore."

"Please don't talk like that… Please."

"What else is there for me to say or do? Sasuke is the only friend I have right now."

"Sasuke isn't shit, alright. Stay away from him. He's nothing, but bad news."

"You keep telling me that, but I don't see anything wrong with him. You can't even tell me what's wrong with him."

"I want to, but…"

"But what, huh?"

"Things are deeper than you think, Sakura."

"Whatever, Naruto… Can you go see if my medicine is ready? I'm in pain."

"Alright. I'll be right back."

I went to one of the desk to ask someone about her medicine. It took a few minutes for someone to get back to me. One of the doctors said they would be in the room shortly to give her something for the pain.

Why is everything getting like this? I didn't think this situation would get this bad. After hearing about what actually happened to Sakura that made her lose our child, killed me on the inside. Who would do something like that? It's just odd. If I ever find out who did that to her, I'm going to kill them.

I walked back to room, but Sakura was missing off the bed.

"Sakura?"

I heard some whooshing from the wind. The balcony doors were open. The curtains covering the door were flapping around.

"Sakura, are you out there?"

I started walking closer to the open doors. The curtains flapped open one more time and that's when I seen her standing there. She was standing on the railing of the balcony.

"Sakura! What are you doing?! Are you nuts?! Get down from there!"

She looked as though she about to lose her balance. She was just standing there.

She didn't even look back.

I started running toward her. While I started running to her, her body started leaning. She was falling.

"SAKURA, NO!"

Ooo I love cliffhangers. Sorry for the short chapter, but

This fanfic is starting to get kinda dark and I don't think people are ready for it.
