Chapter 13

Tenshi's POV

After a week of looking for a house, my mom finally found one of her liking. It felt like forever, but she finally agreed on a blue house. It was a four bedroom house on the outskirts of town. The house had an outside pool and a wide backyard. Inside, my mom loved how it had an open foyer. Then to the right was the entrance for the wide living room. Once inside the living room, there's a hallway, walking down there's the kitchen. The kitchen is huge!

Then when I went upstairs, I looked back downstairs and saw my mom talking to the retailer. Itachi stood tall beside her. I stared at them for a bit, then slowly, I turned around and decided to look for a bedroom. The first room I went in, it looked like the master room so I didn't even bother claiming it as my own. As quick as I went in, I left. Quicker this time, I went to the next room and fell in love.

This room had pure white walls. The more in depth I walked in, I realized it was a walk-in closet. At the end, I was able to see that I had my own bathroom. The room was a fair size. It was perfect. I smiled and went back downstairs. As my mom was talking to the retailer, I began to wonder how we were able to get this house. It seemed almost impossible.

After signing all of the papers, the house was ours. I smiled. The next day, my mom hired some movers and all our stuff into the new house. My mom then asked if I wanted new furniture. At first, I was a little skeptical. Then after some talking, I finally agreed. After getting new furniture, and settling in, my mom decided to go out because she said had she forgot something at Itachi's old apartment. Itachi was out and I was left alone at the new place. I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my iPod dock and brought it to the living room. I blasted the music and laid on the floor.

I closed my eyes for a bit and the next thing I know, I was gasping for air. With all my might, I opened my eyes and saw who it was. Neji.

"You fucking bitch!" Neji growled at me. I was scratching at his hand, begging for him to let go.

After what felt like forever, he let go. I coughed and coughed, trying to get air back. Then eventually I did. Slowly, I looked up at him. He had a cold glare at me and it scared me.

"What the fuck!" we're the only words I could think of. Instead of answering me, he backhanded me and my head his the floor hard. I couldn't see properly for a bit. When I regained my sight, I was hit again. I screamed. I screamed for my mom. For Itachi. For anybody. Then slowly, Neji crouched down and pulled me by my hair. He made me look at him.

"I told you not to tell anyone! So why the fuck did you tell TenTen? She wasn't supposed to know and I warned you. Now," he paused. "Now you're gonna get it!" he hit me again, harder then before though. Instead of laying there helplessly, I tried getting up and reached for a phone. For something. Neji didn't agree with my actions and threw me back on the floor.

"Get away! Neji, why are you doing this? It's not my fault you were going behind TenTen's back and fucking Sakura. Why are you making me suffer for your faults?" The tears started to fall down at a rapid pace, but I didn't care. I shouldn't be suffering. "Do you even know that Sakura's pregnant? You're a sick fucking bastard Neji." The next thing I know, Neji was punching me repeatedly in the stomach. "Keep hitting me you fucking coward!" I screamed.

"You're so stupid Tenshi. You're just as foolish as your mom. As if I'm scared of you. Nothing wouldn't be happening right now if you kept your big fucking mouth shut." he spit out the last of his sentence at me. "I'm very aware she's pregnant and I ain't gonna do shit about it. Not my fault she wasn't on the pill. Her own fault for lying to me."

I stared at him stunned. He disgusted me. After he said that, I was furious, I began kicking and screaming for help. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He kept on hitting me harder and harder each time and I felt like I lost I already. There was no hope left for me.

"Get away from her." Not realizing my eyes were closed, I opened them and saw Neji being pulled away by Itachi. I felt a smile come across my face. Then behind him I saw my mom come towards me with tears down her eyes. She walked over to me and held me in her arms. I closed my eyes with relief, knowing that Neji wouldn't be able to hurt me anymore.

When I opened my eyes I was in unfamiliar room. The walls were a teal color and on the wall by the window, you could see a painting of a tree. There were a whole bunch of colors swirling around it. It didn't look to special, but every time I looked around, something about that painting, I would stare at it for a long time.

As I looked around, I looked beside my bed and saw my mom sleeping on the couch. Then slowly, I tried lifting my body. I looked down and realized how weak I was, I fell right in my back as soon as I lifted my body. It felt like I was caring something really heavy. When I plopped back onto my bed, my mom woke up.

"Habi, don't push yourself," she got up from her chair and started to help me up. She looked exhausted as she helped me.

"How long was I out for?" I asked.

"For two days." I stared at her in shock.

When she sat me up, the nurse came in and did a check up. After she was gone, I looked at my mom and with a shaky breath I asked, "W-where's Neji?"

It came out almost in a whisper. My mom didn't bother answer me. She sat their in silence. After a while though, her phone began to ring. Instead of talking in the room, she got up and went in the hallway. She never use to do that before and I asked myself 'Why now?'

After awhile though, she came back.

"I just talked to the nurse and she said that you'll be getting discharged today," she said with a wide smile.

After an hour or so, the nurse came in and took out my IV. My mom didn't bother talking to me in that time. We stayed silenced most of the time. I didn't dare look at my face, just by slightly touching it, I could tell that it was swollen in some parts. The nurse told me that I had some broken ribs as well.

When we came back to the house, my mom had to help me up the stairs. She laid me down and told me that she was going to make me something to eat. When she was about to leave, I grabbed onto her shirt.

"W-what happened... Where's Neji?" I asked. My mom moved aside my legs and let out a loud sigh. Longer then usual.

"Nothing you need to worry about," she forced a smile and left. A little after she left, I reached into my nightstand and grabbed a little mirror. I didn't want to see my face, but I would have to sooner or later anyway.

When I saw the half of my face a purplish color, I wanted to cry. That bastard Neji did this to me. I slowly lifted up my shirt and saw that my stomach was also a purple color. I didn't want to see anymore, so I covered my stomach and ended up falling asleep.

:::

After a couple of days, I was back on my feet and was able to move around freely. The wounds may have start to heal, but it doesn't mean that I'm okay. Every time I tried asking about what happened to Neji, my mom would either not say anything or change the subject. But if I ask her about anything else, she would answer and we'd talk. Nothing more and I really want to know more. TenTen doesn't come by and I'm wondering why. My mom and her are best friends and they don't even hang out. Weird.

Around lunch time, I was down in the kitchen waiting for my mom to finish cooking for the two of us. While she stood in front of the stove, I tried asking again. She stopped what she was doing and turned around.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked with a forced smile.

"Like what happened to him? Did he go to jail or what mom?" I asked angrily. She sighed and then turned off the stove and sits beside me.

"Nothing you need to worry about. It's none of your concern." With that, she got up and served me my lunch. My mom didn't even bother eating with me, she went upstairs and that was the last I saw of her that day.

I just hated it when she was like this. This isn't like her and I just really want to know what happened to Neji.

A/N: What do you think happened to Neji? Leave a review and guess :D
