"My mother died when I was five, she died giving birth to my little sister Hanabi. Father brought a new house and I lost all my old friends, finding new ones in the new town. A few years ago we moved back here, I was still in private school, father was picking me up from school. The year had just finished and father was going to take us out to dinner. My sister was with us. I wasn't feeling well so we left the restaurant early, a drunk driver hit the car, I walked away with a gash on my head," Hinata said, stopping to lift her fringe up showing Tenten the scar that ran along her forehead.
"I... It's my fault they died," she whispered staring down at her hands. Tenten grabbed her hands, she wanted to slap the girl for thinking like that.
"Hinata it is not your fault." Hinata gripped her hands harder.
"It is, I asked to leave during the meal, if I had just let them finish they would still be here, that's not even the worst of it," she cried ripping her hands away, fisting them in the fabric of her skirt.
"My cousin committed suicide, after the accident he came to live with me and he had taken over father's company. He was eighteen when he moved in. The pressure of running the company became to much for him. One day I was finally ready to go through Hanabi's belongings, I found him on the roof taking photo's of the setting sun. I was ecstatic, Neji loved photography when we were younger he was always taking photo's but I had never once seen him pick up his camera in the year he was with me. When I couldn't see the sun anymore, I walked over and saw him put his camera down and step off the roof. He was still alive, but I couldn't move, I was shocked and when the ambulance came I realised what had happened. This is all my fault," Hinata said, her entire body was shaking. Tenten hugged her, she felt that if she let go Hinata would shatter. "Accidents happen all the time, so you can't blame yourself and Hinata Neji might have fallen off the roof, you never know, so don't blame yourself," Tenten said. Hinata nodded, knowing she was right yet she still blamed herself.
"I'll try Tenten but it's hard not to," Hinata said. Tenten released her hold and smiled, patting her on the head.
"That's all I ask is that you try ok Hina-." the bell rung cutting her off. Tenten swore,
"we missed home room, see ya Hinata," she said laughing. Hinata smiled, running in the opposite direction of her friend.
