Laura: Ok here is chapter 4! Sorry it's kind of short.
Naruto: Hopefully you'll make up for it in the next chapter ;)
Laura: Sasuke? Do you have anything to say?
Sasuke: ...
Laura: Still not talking to me huh?
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto... I'm sure you all know this by now.
NARUTO POV
Sasuke refused to talk to me the next day. I called and called and every time Fugaku or Mikoto would answer and say "He's not feeling well, give him some time to bounce back." Of course I knew he wasn't sick. He was avoiding me. Not that I blame him, I would avoid me too. Sunday morning came and I had had enough. I grabbed my car keys off my dresser and galloped down the stairs, avoiding eye contact with my Mother yet again. "Naruto, are you going to see Sasuke?" I stopped dead in my tracks and sighed. "Yeah, why?" Kushina came to stand in front of me, blocking my only exit. "Honey, you've got to give him some time. Whatever happened between you two badgering him every minute of the day is not going to fix it."
I gritted my teeth together annoyed at her for butting into my business. "I just need to talk to him Mom." I quickly slipped around her, being careful not to bump her, and headed down the front steps. I was just opening my car door when my Mom yelled out to me. "Whatever happened between you two you'll work it out... You always have. I gave her a slight smile but didn't believe her for a second. This was different. I really fucked up and put Sasuke in a terrible situation. How could this work out? I wasn't thinking about what I should say as I pulled up into his drive way.
All I knew is that I needed to say something, but most importantly I need to make sure that he didn't... rape him. Vile rose up in my throat and I clamped my eyes shut tight. I couldn't even think about this right now. I sucked in a deep breath and ran up to the front door and knocked. I put on the best smile I could as Fugaku opened the door. "Naruto, nice to see you." I nodded at him and very rudely slipped inside, not bothering to ask permission. "Is Sasuke here?" He followed me into the living room looking confused. "Yes... but like I've told you, repeatedly, he's very ill and doesn't want to see anyone."
"Meaning me." I mumbled under my breath. "Is something wrong son?" Fugaku asked as he put a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off and ignored him as I headed for the stairs. "Naruto what are you doing?"
"I need to see Sasuke!" I yelled, quickly climbing my way up the stairs without looking back. I knew I was being stupid and rude but I couldn't let Fugaku or Mikoto know something was wrong or they would question Sasuke about it, and I'm sure that's the last thing he needs right now. I got to his bedroom door and paused. Whimpering. I heard whimpering on the other side of the door and things crashing around. The pain in my chest grew unbearable and I had to close my eyes again to regain my composure. Very carefully I lifted my hand and knocked. I waited a few moments then suddenly the door flew open, revealing a red eyed sniffling Sasuke. I had to hold back my own sob at seeing him like this. "Sasuke..." I whispered, not sure of what to say next.
He stared at me for a minute then slammed the door in my face with a grunt. Okay, I deserved that. I waited a few more seconds then slowly opened the door and stepped inside. It looked like a tornado went through here. Half of his books were sprawled on the floor and the other half was sitting in the corner of his room ripped up. I took a steadying breath as I peered at his walls. All the pictures of us together that I had loved dearly were packed away neatly in a box behind the door along with a few knickknacks I had given him over the years. I fidgeted in my spot as Sasuke sat on his bed and glared out the window. "Your books..."
"I figured it was better a better outlet than cutting myself."
"Sasuke please don't say that…" I whispered while taking a cautious step towards him. He just ignored me and started playing with a piece of string on his shirt. "I know there's nothing I can say and that you feel betrayed... but just please don't shut me out, I never thought-" I stopped my apology as he turned to glare at me. "How could you leave me Naruto?! You knew I was scared and you still left me! Screw Kiba! Screw Lee! I needed you and you weren't there!" He was yelling as tears started to stream down his cheeks. "How could you do that to me?!" I swallowed hard and got down on my knees in front of him. "Sasuke, I'm so sorry. I never should have left you, I knew better, it was stupid and insensitive and I know I can't fix it but you have to believe that I never meant for that to happen!"
I was shaking now, trying to control a sob that was desperate to escape my lips. As I looked into his face I could see just how hurt he was. I had betrayed him and no apology was going to fix that. I grabbed his hands in mine and squeezed them. We stared at each other for a long time, me silently begging for forgiveness and him... examining me? I couldn't tell. I knew he was thinking really hard because his brows were creased but other than that his face was unreadable. Finally he let out a shaky breath and bowed his head. "You have no idea... how scared I was." I squeezed his hands tighter. I really didn't want to hear this but I knew he needed to talk to somebody about it.
He sniffled than raised his head and met my gaze. "After you left... he came over and started to talk to me... He was trying to comfort me because I was so scared." He stopped abruptly as a sob broke loose. I nodded, encouraging him to go on. "He told me I had nothing to be scared about and that he was there for me..." He shook his head vigorously then whimpered out. "And I was stupid enough to believe it... all of it." My breathing picked up as I pictured Neji holding him, comforting him. He was always good at mind tricks but I never thought Sasuke would fall for it again. He must have been so vulnerable... A new pain ripped through my chest, a stronger one.
I suddenly felt disgusted with myself for hurting this incredible person in a permanent way. What if he can't get over this? What if he's scarred forever? "Sasu..." I climbed to my feet and sat down next to him, pulling him into my arms. He cried into my chest as I rubbed small circles against his back, trying my best to comfort him. How could Neji do this to him? Does he have no respect for anyone? He probably thought he liked it that sick bastard. I would never do something like this to anyone no matter how good looking they might be. Sasuke's breathing finally came back to normal and he took a big breath to steady himself. "He brought me into the bathroom so we could talk some place quiet..." He trailed off as he wiped away another tear. I tensed and held him tighter in my arms.
The bathroom... That mother fucking bastard! He took him in the bathroom and tried to rape him?! "Then he just snapped. He pushed me against the wall and told me there was no point in screaming because no one could hear me." It was true. I suppose it was a good idea for a sick pervert, taking him into the bathroom with the door closed, and of course no one would be able to hear him through the loud music. He'd be absolutely helpless. "He started to kiss me and..." Another sob. "Touch me... I tried to push him away I did! But he was too strong, I couldn't escape." I kissed him on the head as my heart ached. "Where did he touch you?" I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear the answer but I knew that if he was... raped, I would have to get him checked out at least.
He didn't answer for a few minutes. He just kept taking slow deep breaths. I didn't think he was going to answer but when he did I wish he hadn't. "My chest... and... You know… My behind..." I pulled him to me incredibly tight and hid my tears in his hair. My worst fears were coming true. He touched my Sasuke... down there. Neji fucking Hyuga was the first person to touch Sasuke and it was through force, not love. I felt incredibly ill and was afraid I was going to be sick. He didn't love him or wanted him to feel good, he just wanted another ass to fuck. Why if I had Sasuke that way... "Fuck Sasuke..." I whispered into his hair. "I'm so sorry. So so sorry."
I chanted it over and over again as I cradled him. Sasuke remained silent as he let me hold him. What do we do now? How can I make him feel better? Take his pain away? ...Pain... Oh god. "Sasuke..." I reluctantly pulled away from him and forced him to look at me. "Are you in any pain?" I stared at him while holding my breath for his answer. With a shaky breath he replied. "I'm fine... Just a little sore still." He mumbled the last part and I had to strain my ears to hear it. Well, I was expecting soreness... down there, and I'm sure his chest got quite a beating too, but I suppose it's better than what it could have been. "Do you need my Dad to check you?"
"No!" He yelled with fear in his eyes. He grabbed my sleeves desperately and clung to me as if his life depended on it. "You can't tell anybody, please! They'll all turn it into a big deal and it will never go away!"
"It is a big deal Sasuke." I said sternly. He let out a sigh then stared down at his feet "I know... But I don't want people to worry about me... It's not worth the stress." I opened my mouth to tell him to stop talking about shit like that but he put his hand over my mouth before I could scold him. "Please Naruto. Just please don't..." I stared at him for a long time. I knew I could never do it He looked so scared and desperate. Reluctantly, I nodded my head and sighed. "Do you have any bruises?" He stared at me for a minute then lifted his arms in front of my face silently. I examined the purple marks on his arms very carefully. They weren't big but with the finger nail marks imprinted on his skin it must have been very painful.
"What about-" I hesitated. I didn't think he would actually answer this question but for some reason I had to ask. "Was there any... you know, blood or anything? Tearing…?" His eyes went wide for a split second then he blushed furiously and shook his head. "No... It wasn't that bad..." I nodded while looking at my feet. We sat in uncomfortable silence for what seemed like hours. "Naruto, you should go." I shook my head and was about to protest but shut my mouth as Sasuke got up and opened his door. "I want you to go." I swallowed the huge lump in my throat then slowly walked to the door. Sasuke kept eye contact with me while I stepped out of his room. I opened my mouth to ask him one more question but he closed the door before I had a chance to speak.
I ran out the front door trying to avoid his parents at all costs and drove home way faster than I should have. The whole night I stared up at my ceiling coming up with different ways to kill Neji. Okay, I can't actually kill him. All that would get me is a life time in prison. How am I supposed to protect Sasuke from behind bars? That's easy, I can't. I wasn't in the mood to come up with some master plan or anything so when I see him tomorrow I'll just let whatever happens happen. Even if it means getting kicked out of school. I'd die for Sasuke, so getting expelled doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm sure my parents wouldn't like it, but I can deal with that later. All that matters right now is Sasuke.
