Chapter 20
How To Save A Life
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
Hinata is sitting in her room, laying in her bed, staring at the white ceiling
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
Ever since she came back her life had been different. She had been different, she had to admit. She felt empty most of the time and she didn't feel like herself.
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Naruto was in the living room, his guitar in hand but his eyes were wondering along the path that led to the outside of his house.
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
When had things changed so drastically? When did things started to fall apart?
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Wasn't this supposed to be their happy ending?
Why did it feel like it was all wrong? When she left, life was perfect. Why couldn't she just continue where she had left off?
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
The awkwardness was no longer silence. It was in the air around and every time were close to each other, they felt like strangers.
CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
They were lost and couldn't find the other. Lost in the mist of the past in which they could not get themselves out.

Another day of school waited for Hinata. She had grown right back in to her old routine in which she prepared herself to break the rules.
She was brushing her long black hair when someone knocked on her door. "Come in" She yelled, her eyes focus on her reflection.
The door open and reveled her uncle who gave her a small smile. "Hello Hinata" He said softly.
"Hello uncle" Hinata greeted back, a smile on her lips as well. "Is there something you want?" She asked politely.
"Yes" He said, letting himself in. "I need to speak with you Hinata"
"Now?" Hinata raised her eyebrow. "I need to go to school"
"It won't take long" Hisashi assured her. He made his way to her bed and sat at the edge. "Hinata. I've received calls from your school about your grades and behavior in school"
"Oh" Hinata said whispered as she looked down at her shoes.
"I understand what are you're going through Hinata" Hisashi said. "I know that singing is one of your dreams and hopes but you can't let that ruin your chances of doing something else"
"Something else?" Hinata asked. "Uncle. I wish to be a singer" She explained.
"I know Hinata but do you know how long can it take for you to achieve that dream? I'm not saying that you have to give up your dream of becoming a singer but don't let that dream let everything else fall apart. What if at the end you can't be one or you decide that it's not the right choice? What then Hinata? You will look back and wonder why you let a dream ruin your studies" Hisashi sigh as he put his hand on Hinata shoulder. "I won't punish you Hinata. But think about what I said" Hisashi said. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you uncle" Hinata whispered. Hisashi smiled at Hinata and left the room without another word.
The rest of the morning was a pure blur to her. Her mind was wrapped around her uncle's words.
She blinked a couple of times as she felt someone touch her hand. Her eyes lingered from Naruto's finger touching her pale hand to Naruto's blue eyes watching her every movement.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked. He's voice as soft as he had always used with her.
She stared at him, wondering if she should tell him. Tell him what her uncle had told her but she decided to keep it to herself.
"Nothing" She smiled. She leaned her head against his arm and sigh. "I'm going to class" she said.
"Are you sure?" Naruto asked.
"Yes" Hinata smiled. She stood from the grass, where they laid and kissed his lips before walking away.
22 eyes stared at her when she opened the classroom door. "Miss Hyuga, so nice to see you here" Prof. Hatake commented, his eyes on his orange color book.
She sat in her seat and looked around to find everyone working. "Excuse me" Hinata whispered to a young man sitting beside her.
"Yes?" He asked.
"What are we working on today?"
"Unlike fractions" He answered. "Page 300 to 310"
Hinata opened her book and gasped. Fractions with a full line of numbers and letter stared back at her, and she had no idea what to do.
It was then and there she decided to take a leap of faith and decide.
To think about her wanted future, in which she became a famous artist or life other options?
