The French Open

Narutime.

I didn't know what was happening, I could hear and feel everything around me but I could see nothing. There was a boy, he sounded my age, and he was on the phone. I could recognize his voice but nothing was coming to me, my thoughts were numbed by the excruciating pain my body was in. I tried to think but it hurt too much. Why was I even in this mess? Why was I most probably dying on the ground of some rotten alleyway with some frantic guy I didn't know whether I knew or not and the insane thought that I may not come out of this alive? What if I didn't thought? What if I didn't come out of it alive? I doubt many people would care to be honest. Sasuke would have Gaara, that's the main thing. I'd never be able to tell Sasuke I still loved him. I still loved him, I always had, I always would. And no idiotic decision on his or my part could ever change that. I suppose that's what made me give up on myself, I didn't bother fighting in that alleyway, I didn't bother attempting to stay alive, but that was until I actually thought.

I thought of my other friends, of Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, Shino, Neji. They'd miss me, they'd want me to try. So what if a few people probably wouldn't give a shit if I disappeared from the world? Others did, and that was all I wanted. Looking back on it now, I know I was wrong to think that, it was harsh, no one would ever wish death upon a person, let alone their ex-boyfriend or ex-best friend. You'd have to be a loon to want someone that had been that close to you to die. I focused on the voice as it continuously spoke to me.

"Naruto," it murmured into me as he cradled me, "Naruto, if you can hear me, stay strong okay, you're going to be fine, alright?" He kept whispering to me, soothing me, even thought I felt my life was hanging from a thread.

"It's okay Naruto, I'm hear, Gaara's here." Gaara? Gaara was the one who saved me? He actually cared? I don't know why but that somehow felt a gap within me that I'd seemingly got. The idea he wasn't out to spite me, to hurt me and ruin me, the idea soothed me more than the other things he was whispering to me.

"The ambulance are coming okay," he was sobbing now, I could hear it in the thickness of his voice, "and.. and they're going to sort you out. You're going to be fine." A choked sob followed as I heard the rustle of him holding me closer.

"Oh God, I'm sorry Naruto. I'm so so so sorry. I don't know why I did it, this is all my fault," another sob, "if I hadn't … if I hadn't been such a whore, Sasuke wouldn't have lied to Sai about you, then Itachi wouldn't have hurt you." He stayed silent for a minute, in which I supposed he was gathering his wits.

"I'm sorry, okay? I know you can't hear me, but I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry!" he was screaming at the end, wailing as if maybe if he shouted louder it would reach me. I could already hear him though. The sound of sirens reached my ears, followed by the sound of footsteps hurrying down the alleyway. I was swiftly transferred on to a stretcher, my mouth covered by some uncomfortable breathing device, as the spare paramedics talked to Gaara. It was like a miniature interrogation, in the ambulance, me on the stretched and Gaara interviewed by some paramedic who seemed to be asking more personal questions than he was prepared to answer. What is your connection with Mr. Uzumaki? Were you the one who put him in this state? Why did you lead his boyfriend to cheat on him? He didn't lead him to cheat on me, Sasuke did it out of his own wants, he didn't want me, he wanted Gaara. That wasn't Gaara's fault.

Although the drive to the hospital was fairly short, I could barely think straight with all the drugs and painkillers they'd given me to ease the pain. I was wheeled through the hospital and cringed inside with all the gasps people seemed to exhale when they set their eyes on me. Was it really that bad? Was I in such a bad condition that people winced at the sight of me? Somehow that made me feel sick in my stomach.

They'd left Gaara alone with me in my room to phone my friends, and I could hear every word he said. He phoned them all separately, asking them to come, and to hurry because he couldn't be here on his own. I wanted to hug him so badly, I wanted to jump out of bed and declare that I was fine. I was fine with him and Sasuke, I was fine with being beaten up. I was, I was fine... But that would be a lie. Like hell I was fine. Fine with him and Sasuke? I'd be more fine with being eaten alive by a bunch of rabid spider monkeys to be honest. Fine with being beaten up? Hell no. My body felt as if it were in a completely different place to me. I was so stocked up with sedatives and drugs and whatever concoctions they'd decided to give me that all I could feel was the thoughts running through my head. I thought I was going crazy.

People started filing in, first Neji with Hinata, then Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru and finally Sasuke. Each time it had been the same; they'd rush in, run over to the bed, whisper to themselves then start crying. I didn't want to be the reason my friends were all crying. I couldn't say the same thing for Sasuke though. He'd ran in, slamming the door against the wall as he entered, before running up to me, and I gather from the verbal protests, he shoved a few people out of the way beforehand. He grasped my hands, staring at me silently for a minute before Hinata spoke, gaining the attention of both me and the .. 'conscious' people in the room.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you two to be in this room," she stated, her speech addressed towards both Gaara and Sasuke.

"Why?" the raven bit back feeling as though he had just as much right to see me as any of the other's did.

"It's friends and family only," she said in a harsh and cutting tone, "neither of you two can possibly call yourselves Naru's friend after this." She stated, leaving silence for a minute.

"You should leave," Kiba backed her, and I felt him nudge for both Neji and Shino to do the same. The long haired brunette seemed startled slightly, as his grasp on my shoulder heightened in pressure.

"I … I," he started, "I think you should go too." He seemed to find it hard to say it, and I soon found out once Gaara spoke.

"Neji..." he sounded upset, betrayed … like me. And that's when it started, someone, I don't remember who, but someone nevertheless started it.

"This is all your faults, that is why you can't be in here!" The shouting followed, the screams the abuse, the hurling of names and insults, everyone seemed to be at it, and I was left there confused and alone on a hospital bed, with a fight surrounding me on now both sides. A punch was thrown. A punch so hard I could almost feel it aswell as hear it. Then the chaos stopped, if I'd have seen I would have seen an injured Kiba fall from the power of Gaara's punch, before sailing back towards an assortment of wires. Everything went silent as he landed, a loud 'thump' echoing throughout the move.

I couldn't breath. It was chaos again, he'd landed in just the wrong place, he'd pulled the plug. Hinata was scrambling on the floor, trying desperately to fit the plug into the socket with her shaking hands. I still couldn't breath though. They were frantically ordering each other about, telling each other to press buttons and plug in plugs. I still couldn't breath. They were shouting at each other now, screaming at one another, they'd alerted the attention of the doctors, and now the doctors were desperately trying to help too. But, I still couldn't breath. I couldn't breath.

The monitor to my left started beeping as I felt my heart rate decreased, the drowned out screams of my friends were masked by the sounds of the doctors bustling around me, saving me, or hoping to anyway. It was scary, knowing I was dying, feeling my heard as it thumped slower and slower.

The last thing I thought before it all faded into black was I'll never be able to tell him I still love him.

I know it's really short but I couldn't think of any other way to make it any longer lolz xD It's all dramatico now peoples. And isn't that just a killer cliffy?

Arrrggghhhhhhhhhh. Right, you're either gonna hate me or love me for this. Or not be bothered either way. But I've told myself I'm not going to update Cheat until I've updated at least three of my other stories. So after this chapter, that's it for a bit. I'll still be writing the chapters though, so on the plus side, once I've updated all the others you'll probably get a flood of chapters for this fic. Soorrrryyyy xD But I do have people wanting other fics updated... the only way to keep everyone happy.

kthxbye

Sorry for the help chapter thing.
I updated though, happy now? LOL xD
Aww, I love you guys.
