Me: Hello again. The story finally starts to get interesting (at least in my own mind) but we're almost done! It's so sad

Neji: Not really. I'll finally have some peace and quiet

Me: The song used in this chapter is 'Nobody's Home' by Avril Lavigne. And by no means is it mine

Chapter 23 In a world that she can't rise above…

Hinata's P.O.V.

When Sasuke leaves I decide to stay in bed for a few more minutes. I have the strangest feeling that something bad is going to happen, but I don't know why. I shake my head to rid myself of these thoughts and push myself upright.

I leave the comfort of the bed and I start getting dressed.

"What should I do?" I ask myself out loud. I look around the room, and, seeing nothing that can keep me occupied, I walk out and head for the kitchen.

I make myself breakfast, then start cleaning up the house. Sasuke doesn't use a lot of things, so it's all dusty in some rooms, on furniture, and even on some plates I find in the cabinet.

I clean in silence, and it's freaking me out. It's so quiet. If a mouse walked on the floor all the way in another room, you could probably hear it. So I do what every other teenage girl does when it's quiet; put on some music.

I flip station after station trying to find something good to listen to, until I find the perfect song.

I come across one of my favorite songs, and turn up the radio. I listen to the opening tune, then start singing along while I clean.

"Well I couldn't tell you.

Why she felt that way, she felt it every day.

And I couldn't help her, I just watched her make the same mistakes again.

What's wrong, what's wrong now?

Too many, too many problems.

Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs…"

The song continues as I hear a crash behind me.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.

That's where she lies, broken inside.

There's no place to go, no place to go.

To dry her eyes, broken inside.

I feel something hit the back of my head and I collide into the opposite wall.

Open your eyes (open your eyes) and look outside,

Find the reasons why.

You've been rejected (you've been rejected) and now you can't find,

What you've left behind

Be strong, be strong now,

Too many, too many problems,

Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.

When my eyes focus, I see Mother's figure standing over me.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.

That's where she lies, broken inside.

There's no place to go, no place to go.

To dry her eyes, broken inside.

Mother leans over me and wraps her cold fingers around my neck.

Her feelings she hides, her dreams she can't find.

She's losing her mind, she fallen behind.

She can't find her place, she losing her faith.

She's fallen from grace; she's all over the place (yeah!)

"What an appropriate song for you," she says. And the last thing I hear before I lose consciousness is the last few verses of the song.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.

That's where she lies, broken inside.

There's no place to go, no place to go.

To dry her eyes, broken inside.

She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh)

She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh) oooh


Sasuke...
