Fix you

Chapter 2: Just another day

I couldn't remember how long I had been starring at the ceiling. My arms were spread and ankles far apart. A sick feeling was churning in my stomach sending a sour taste into my mouth. I sat up abruptly and rain to the bathroom and spit into the sink. I watched the red liquid leak from my chin as it dripped down the drain.

"Sasuke?" I turned around and watched the door. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." I called as I rolled my eyes. Neji was completely smashed and had no place to sleep, so I had to let him stay over.

"S-Sasuke . . ." Neji mumbled as he slid his body down the other side of the door. "I need you so bad . . ."

"Not tonight, go to sleep." I called and turned my head back to the mirror. I coughed a few times and brought a tissue up to my mouth to catch the rest of the blood. That hardly worried me anymore, it had been going on for almost a year. I closed my eyes for a moment then opened them to stare at my weak, slender body. I didn't recognize myself anymore . . . dark circles were around the rim of my eyes and my skin was ghostly pale. A few sweat drops escaped my forehead followed by a sharp pain in my stomach. I gripped my stomach and leaned forward until the pain subsided.

"Sasuke . . ." Neji knocked on the door a few times before I heard his body hit the floor. That had no longer worried me either, it was only a matter of time before he passed out. I let my body lower to the ground and sat on the cold tiles. I took a few deep breathes before I leaned over the bathtub and turned on the shower. I removed my clothes from my trembeling body and pulled myself up into the shower.

I wrapped the towel around my waste and opened the bathroom door to see Neji sprawled out on the floor with a bottle of Captain in his hand. I shook my head and leaned down to pull him up onto the bed. He groaned a little but fell right back to sleep when his body hit the matress.

I walked over to my side of the room and sat on the bed. I looked on my nightstand where my pills remained, they were calling me. I swallowed hard and turned away from them.

"I have all of your work, you are brilliant if it's not too bold to say."

"Ughhhh . . ." I growled and threw myself down on the bed and stared at the clock. It was three in the morning and I had to get up at seven. Those few hours at the bar turned into an all night thing as usual. But that night had been different and only one name came to mind; Naruto. I smiled at the sound of his name. Something happened to me that night, something I never wanted to forget. In that first moment when I saw him, I got the same rush as I did from the drugs, the only difference was I felt happy. An emotion I hardly ever got to experience.

A few hours later, the sun crept through my window, just enough to shine in my eyes. I gripped the blankets and pulled them over my head.

"Good morning, little brother."

I peeked out from under the covers and saw Itachi standing at the end of my bed. "Go away." I groaned.

"It's ten thirty."

I nearly threw the covers off my entire body and sat up. "What?!" I looked over at my clock and stared at the time. "Why didn't anyone wake me? Where's Neji?" I scanned the room.

"He left early thismorning. I didn't want to wake you, he said you had a rough night."

"That's bullshit! I have a rough night every night."

"Don't blame me, your old enough to wake up on your own. You are eighteen after all, right Sasuke?" Itachi smirked.

"Yes, you mock me," I glared. "Congratulation's you've finally gotten a reason for argument."

"I didn't come here to argue."

"You've woken me up, three hours in a half hours late I might add, but I'm awake so you can go now."

"Enough with the sarcasm, I need to talk to you." He narrowed his eyes and folded his arms across his chest.

"Whatever about?" I asked in an innocent tone. I leaned over the side of the bed and rubbed my eyes.

"It's about Naruto Uzumaki."

I glanced over my shoulder. "What about him?"

"He said you spoke with him last night."

"So what's the big deal? I just introduced myself. If you remember correctly, I was supposed to higher the new dealer."

"You can call it whatever you want but I'm telling you to stay away from him."

I stood up and took a few steps towards him. "Are you going to make me?"

Itachi glared, "He's not interested in your one night stands. Do yourself a favor and leave him alone."

"I'll stay away from him, but I can't garantee he'll stay away from me."

Itachi chuckled. "Think what you want, Sasuke. If I find out you've hurt this kid in any way, you'll be out on the streets in a second. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal." I replied with a sarcastic tone.

Itachi ignored the sarcasm and walked over to the door. "Clean this room before you come down stairs. It's Saturday night so be prepared for a busy night." He slammed the door behind him. My relationship with Itachi wasn't always like that, I envyed him when I was growing up. But at the same time I hated him. My Father liked him the most and he didn't have to tell me to realize it. When I became popular with my art work it was the first time my Father had noticed me. After my parent's accident, we grew apart. We became different people, or at least I did.

"Fuck . . ." I passed a hand through my hair and took the bottle of pills sitting on my nightstand. I popped open the bottle and took out four. This was going to be a long night . . .

"Mr. Uchiha, Gaara is here to see you." Ino, paged me over the phone.

"Send him in." I leaned back in my car, and watched the door. I finally had my own office. Only problem was Itachi's was right next to mine.

The door slowly opened and Gaara poked his head through, "Sasuke."

I folded my hands together, it almost looked professional. "Gaara."

He made his way over to my desk and sat down in the chair opposite of mine. "I have some bad news."

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow.

"It's Orochimaru, he's been selling around the Casino."

I narrowed my eyes, Orochimaru . . . such a perverted prick. "I thought I told you to get rid of him."

"I know but my guys aren't going to do a job like that, Sasuke. I gave him quite a scare and I thought we had seen the last of him. He's got nearly half of your dealers buying coke from him."

"Not anymore, you tell him I want to speak to him personally, understand?"

"Yes."

"Don't let my brother find out, the last thing I need is for him to find out the dealers are on drugs. Tell him to meet me tonight at midnight, sharp."

"Okay." Gaara stood up and made his way to the door. "Are you sick?" He glanced over his shoulder at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You don't look so good, Sasuke. Why don't you try sleeping at night."

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Not you too, don't worry about it. I'm fine. Your dismissed."

"Are you still on those pills?"

"I said your dismissed."

Why was everyone on my fucking case? I gripped my head and looked down at my desk. Itachi was going to kill me if he found out Orochimaru was selling drugs to our workers. And he would blame me for it, without a doubt.

"He was here?! Why didn't you tell me?" Neji whined.

"We discussed business, and it's not my duty to tell Gaara you have a crush on him. Why don't you just talk to him?" Neji had a crush on Gaara for the longest time. And I had to listen to it.

"I do talk to him all the time but nothing ever happens."

I shrugged. "Well he's coming hear tonight, just lure him in the back and nail him."

Neji laughed. "I'm not you, ya know."

It was only noon time and I felt a pounding head ache rush through my head. I found myself looking over at Naruto's table. I knew he wasn't coming in until later but for some reason I kept glancing over my shoulder expecting him to suddenly appear.

"Who are you looking for?" Neji asked.

"No one." I turned my attention back to him.

"Yeah right, you've been sighing all day, what's with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just tired, I did have to drag your ass up stairs at three thismorning."

"You should be used to that by now, it's Naruo isn't it?"

I looked down to avoid eye contact. "N-No, of course not. I don't even know him."

"Yeah, sure whatever you say."

It pissed me off how Neji knew exactly what I was thinking. He could see behind my eyes into the truth. I felt like he could look at me and see what I most desired. In that moment I told myself Naruto wasn't getting away. No, tonight Naruto would be mine . . .
