Ino x Lee
Haunted and Hurting
Ino locked herself in her room. She didn't want to talk to anyone.
She hated this. Herself.
Choji and Shikamaru were in the hospital all because of her.
"Ino. Sweetie. It wasn't your fault. It was the person who wasn't looking where he was going." He mother said through the door.
Ino couldn't help it. She cried and cried. Thinking back on what happened.
"Ino. Please open up. Talk to us." Her mother spoke.
But Ino wasn't going to talk to anyone.
She wasn't going to. Not after what happened.
"Ino." A voice spoke.
Ino looked up. Lee was at her window with Sakura.
"What?" She quietly said. It was really late this time. She must have cried till dark.
Opening the window. She let Sakura and Lee in.
"What are you two doing here?" She asked.
"We came to see you." Sakura said.
"We heard of what happened. Shikamaru and Choji are in the hospital."
"Because of me." Ino said.
"No! That's because of the drunk truck driver who shouldn't have been on the road in the first place. He was found and he will be pressed charges." Sakura said.
"And this is why you make the better lawyer then me." Ino said.
"That's not the point. Ino. It's not your fault that you three got in that crash. It's not your fault that they got hurt badly and you didn't. Ino. Please stop blaming yourself for something you couldn't have seen, controlled, or stopped." Sakura said.
Ino nodded.
"We brought cookies." Lee said smiling.
Ino smiled at last seeing they were sugar cookies. "Thanks."
