Chapter 4: Terror and Anguish Set In
Hinata's POV
When I was walking to my sixth hour I saw Naruto in the hallway talking to Kiba, and that really made me feel a sense of sorrow for myself. Has my destiny been tainted and annihilated? Will I be alone forever? When I got to my sixth hour I realized I had it with the person I least wanted to see. Kiba, that no good person that took my precious Naruto's heart away from me. I was unintentionally staring at him when said "Hinata what are you looking at?" In a nervous voice I responded "Nothing, I just thought I saw something in your hair." He retaliated with "Yeah me, Naruto, and the guys were playing gym earlier so I might have got it then." I just gave him a fake smile and returned to filling out my family contact information for the class we were in.
For the duration of the rest of the hour I was just trying to verbalize in my head how to tell Naruto my feelings. The bell rang and it was time for me to put everything I had into telling my blonde haired boy what I truly feel towards him. I texted Naruto and told him to meet me by the auditorium, because no one rarely goes over there. When Naruto arrived he asked me why he needed to meet me over here. I said that I needed to talk to him about something privately. He said "oh" and sat on the bench next to the entrance to the auditorium. Next, he patted the space next to him; signaling me to sit with him. I begin getting teary eyed, and Naruto immediately asks what's wrong. I had had enough; I had to just pour my heart out right now. "Naruto Why? Why do you have to be gay? Maybe you're confused, or maybe you're just bisexual. Naruto Uzumaki I love you! I have loved you for a very long time." I said with all my strength.
Naruto's POV
What is going on? Why was Hinata saying these things to me? Sh…She loves me? I do not love her back, and I even told her I love Kiba with all my heart. What do I do? She is a good friend and I don't want to hurt her feelings. I had to make it clear "Hinata, I'm very sorry but I do not return those feelings. I am in love with Kiba Inuzuka. I don't know if he'll ever return those feelings, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm gay.
Hinata's POV
"How do you know your gay, maybe if I…." *I crawl on top of him and attempt to kiss him.* I am then immediately pushed off of him. "Why Naruto? You didn't even give it a shot. I think my love is enough to break the bonds between straight and gay. I can make you love me, and we can be happy together. I can treat you much better than Kiba ever would. You don't even know if he is gay. Why chase something that would never be returned when you can choose someone that will love you back?
Naruto's POV
Hinata just kissed me?! Enough is a enough; I have to get my point across regardless of her feelings. Sure she'll hurt now, but in the future she will get over it and hopefully find someone of her own. "Hinata! Stop! I do not love you and I never will. I love Kiba, and I don't care if he's not gay. Kiba has been with me through a lot and he is my best friend. Don't get me wrong, you and the others have helped me. Kiba just has helped more because he was there for me in the most terrible times of my life. You were there but you just spectated from a distance. I'm leaving, stop it and get over me please. It will be much easier for you to get over me; you barely even know my past." I then walk away and begin my stressful journey home.
Hinata's POV
I am in a state of utter shock and crying in the bathroom of my school. I was trying to figure out what just happened. My destiny was ruined, and I would never have my Naruto. I promised myself that if he was truly gay I wouldn't get this way, but I cannot help it. It is going to hurt for a while, or at least I can find something or someone else to put my love into. For now I need to be alone, and I don't need anyone to find me. I left the bathroom and walked to the park by my house. I was glad no one was there. I then climbed into the tube slide and began crying more than I ever have before.
Sakura's POV
*ring, ring, ring* "Hello?" I said as I answered my cellphone. "It's Naruto; I have something to tell you." I thought to myself "Why would Naruto be calling me, he usually doesn't call me after 7 o'clock." Then I told him to say what he had to say. "After school today Hinata told me she loved me. I of course denied her, and she got really sad. Don't ask about all the details, because I'll inform you of them later. All I know is that after I got home I felt bad so I called her phone. She didn't answer it so I tried her house phone. Hinata's cousin Neji answered the phone and said that she hadn't arrived home yet. I think she might have run away. I just don't want her to do something stupid because of me." I respond with "Don't worry Naruto, she will be fine. We just have to find her; so meet me at the school." I hang up and try Hinata's phone. No answer, so I call Ino and tell her to meet us at the school also.
Ino's POV
I arrive at the school. I see Sakura and Naruto there waiting for me. Naruto is pacing and has a pained look on his face. I can tell he is trying really hard to keep his composure. I asked what's going on and Sakura tells me that Hinata has run away. "Why would she do that" I said with a confused expression. "Because I'm a terrible person and made Hinata runaway." Naruto said and then began crying. Sakura refuted with "Naruto you are not a bad person, she ran away because she is just sad; you did nothing wrong. I asked what was going on because I was confused and knew none of the details. Naruto just sat there as Sakura informed me of all the details. I couldn't believe that all this time Hinata loved blondie and I didn't even know it. We then departed to search for Hinata, but we had to be home before the curfew the town had on its students. I really hope that Hinata hasn't gone and done anything reckless.
Naruto's POV
No! We hadn't found Hinata yet, and it was ten minutes until curfew. Me, Ino, and Sakura made our separate ways and went home. I was really worried about Hinata, out of the four close friends I had, Hinata was showed the most compassion towards us. I had hurt poor innocent Hinata. I want her to be found and I want this day to be over.
Hinata's POV
I looked at my phone and saw all of the missed calls and texts from all of these people. I don't care what they have to say, I am too sad to care right now. I begin sobbing again. "Is someone in the slide?" I hear someone say. I don't answer hoping that the person would leave. "What's wrong?" I hear from right behind me. I get startled and accidently slide out of the slide. The guy jumps down and apologizes for scaring me. His face is covered, and he is also wearing glasses. I didn't get why he was wearing glasses at night. "My name is Shino. I have you in 3 of my classes at school. I don't think you ever have noticed me though." He said. He asked me if I would let him walk me home. I didn't want to be rude, no matter how sad I was. I arrived home and thanked him for walking me. I then entered my house; there were a lot of worried people wondering where I was apparently.
