Chapter 2: LOVE IS A SAD SONG.
Naruto woke up with his throat burning. Eyes still tightly closed he pursed his lips. To his dislike his lips were desert dry and why did his whole mouth smell like blood as he took in a sharp metallic taste?
"W-Water." He managed to croak not expecting any. If this was what waking up in heaven felt like he didn't want to die. Ever. But anythings better than rejection. Thinking of him made his heart hurt all over again. Im not dead yet am i?
"Here." answered a female voice. He felt himself slowly being lifted up in sitting position and a glass of water set on his lips.
"Drink" ordered the voice again. The water never tasted so good as it did now. He drank it greedily.
"Naruto! You can open your eyes now."
"S-Sakura. Does this mean I'm still alive?"
He opened his eyes blinking against the harsh light stinging his eyes making it water. Sensing his discomfort Sakura pulled down the window curtains and sat down on the edge of his bed.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Im fine,Sakura." he felt kind of relieved that she didn't ask how nor why this ever occurred. He looked down and saw his hands neatly bandaged. He almost started to say thanks when-
SLAP!
Now that hurt. But Naruto didn't flinch. He deserved it. Every bit of pain. It was all his to feel. If nothing else. He hung his head in shame.
"I said fucking look at me! How Naruto? How? How can you be so selfish?" her emerald green eyes sparkled with pain and anger as she continued to vent her frustration on naruto.
"Imagine my surprise when I see my brother lying on a pool of his own blood? Didn't you even give seconds thought of how lost we would be? How broken I would be? How Sasuke would be?"
The last question totally shattered his heart as he felt another dizzy spell come over him. Clutching her arm for support he managed to whisper "I confessed to him,its over."
Sakura's face looked at him blankly trying to comprehend what he was talking about. Realizing what he meant,it quickly turned into that of horror mixed with worry.
"No! he did'nt?Oh Naruto!Im so sorry." She quickly took him in a tight hug while she kept on repeating "Im so sorry " and "It's going to be okay."
Whatever resolve Naruto had not to cry broke upon the tight hug and those soothing words. He started to cry with everything he had soaking the area of her shoulder wet.
"No Sakura, it won't! Nothings gonna be ok ever again. I lost him, even as a friend."
He pulled away from her hug and facing her shook her as if to get her answer him "tell me!what do I have to do to make him love me? Why doesn't he love me Sakura? Am I that bad? Should I have been a girl? Tell me!Please?"
Sakura with all the patience of the world extracted herself away from him and started running her hands through his hair to calm him. She knew her little made-brother was suffering from a mental breakdown. Best for him to take it all out. Keeping the pain inside him would make him suffer more and could lead to drastic action. Her face grimaced in pain as she saw the pathetic condition of the blonde. Love coul do so many crazy things. The Uchiha who once was on her love list once was now on the top of her hate list.
"I love him, Sakura..so much that it hurts. I try to be strong but one look at him and I'm the same broken wrecked reject."
"Don't! Don't you dare talk about yourself like that?" Said Sakura angrily "it's his loss! You are worth more than that. You understand?"
But the blond was too exhausted to even reply. Loss of blood as well as his sudden outburst drained him of his energy. After a few more tears and hiccups he fell into a deep sleep.
Sakura looked lovingly down at her blonde friend as he slept. His heart was too pure to be hurt like this. If only he had chosen someone with a heart and not a stone cold person like Sasuke. Covering him with a blanket she made to get up when the door opened.
"Sakura "
Without looking back she coldly answered "Sasuke."
Avoiding the cold black eyes with the fear that she might lost her control and punch him,Sakura stiffly walked up to the door. Hands on the door knob she turned facing the back of his hair and said "I hate you."
Sakura saw his back stiffen as he answered "You're not the first." To her surprise his voice sounded pained.
It might have been a girls thing but Sakura suddenly had a feeling that misunderstanding had something to do with the way things were. Maybe…just maybe everything would be right again.
"Don't hurt him. He isn't as strong as you think he is." she whispered as the door closed but she had a feeling that he had heard her.
What had she meant? Sasuke shook his head confusedly as he laid his bag on his study chair. Him hurt Naruto. Wasn't it the other way around? His face turned into a grimace as he remembered what had happened.
He stole a look towards the blonde sleeping peacefully. Something tugged at his heart. It was so painful,so bitter yet at the same time so warm. But he didn't want to face these feelings. He didn't want to understand. It was over anyway. Just one month more till he would graduate and he would be far far away.
Turning away he made to the bathroom when he was stopped dead on his tracks as his eyes fell on the floor. Blood. Lots of it and a broken mirror. Panic seized him.
Naruto. He quickly walked up to Naruto's bed and did a quick survey. The blonde looked fine. Then his eye fell on the bandaged arm. Quietly as possible so as not to wake him Sasuke took Naruto's hand and checked it. He couldn't tell much due to the neat bandages(Sakura's work after all) but the wound didn't seem serious.
Letting go of the hand he tucked it under the blanket in a comfortable position and went into the bathroom.
Once inside he retched into the sink. The stench was overwhelming. It reminded him of bitter memories.
Him 5 years old again clutching Itachi as they watched the firefighters try to pull their parents crushed bodies away from the car wreckage. His mothers dead eyes were directed straight at him. It was so blank, so empty but he felt as though it were piercing him.
Itachi lying in the hospital bed vomiting fresh blood on his 14th birthday. He had smiled, ruffled Sasuke's hair and broken his heart.
They were gone. All gone. And now Naruto.
Sasuke lowered his head again and puked.
An hour later the bathroom looking normal again and the smell almost gone Sasuke fell on his bed exhausted.
He tried to keep himself awake as much as possible knowing what would happen if he slept. Those nightmares again. Ever since Naruto was out of his life those ghastly images kept visiting his dreams. It was getting more and more frequent. And the worst part was he couldn't run. His feet rooted to the spot as his moms dead eyes kept looking at him, Itachi smiling at him,his mouth and chin covered in his blood. This time there was a new smiled and opened his mouth as if to speak…but instead another voice, Naruto's voice said "I hate you."
Sasuke bolted up in his bed. He could feel his cloths sticky with sweat. The blonde was now softly snoring. The raven groaned sweeping his damp bangs away from his face. Why? Why did things turn out this way? It was like a curse. His loved ones were always taken away from him. His best friend.
Who was to blame? It was Naruto of course. Saying senseless things , confusing him,telling that he hated him now. It had to be that dobe's fault. He complicated stuff. Or was it himself who complicated things?
He felt the blond stirring awake. Quickly diving under the covers he pretended to sleep again. Starting to make make-believe snores he missed the blonde look at him with a sad smile. But his back froze when he heard the blonde silently ask "Do you hate me so much, Sasuke?"
