Chapter 2

TW: Cutting

Naruto POV

After I said goodbye to Sasuke I shut the door. All I could do was fall to the ground and cry. How could I let him hear that? what if he started asking questions? I would loose everything. After about 30 minutes of sitting there crying I got up and went to the restroom. I grabbed a blade from behind the mirror. one for being carless, one for lying, and one for being weak. I mean I know Sasuke doesn't have any family either and he deals with it. So why can't I just be normal? why couldn't I handle it. I just sat there, on the floor of my restroom, and thought about everything. I probably won't go to school on Monday considering how I feel. I finally got the energy to get up and go to my room. I jumped in my bed and put my headphones in. Within minutes I was asleep.

Sasuke POV

lately I've been noticing that Naruto has been staying home from school a lot and whenever I go to visit him he's always asleep. I wonder if he's alright. I think I'll ask him about it today at the park. I get ready and leave. When I get there it's only me and Sakura.

"Hey."

"Hey, Sasuke!"

"can I ask you something."

"Sure whats up," she said with a big smile.

"Have you noticed anything off with Naruto, I mean he hasn't been coming to school."

"No he's fine, look He's right over there with a big smile."

I decided not to talk about it anymore considering Naruto was right there, but I couldn't help worrying. He's my best friend and even though I might not show it I really care about him.

After we went on 4 rides Naruto Said he had to use the restroom and ran off. I thought this was a good opportunity to ask him about everything. So I told Sakura that I had to go too. I ran off, but when I got there the door was locked and I could hear someone vomiting. Is Naruto sick. I waited there until he came out and when he did I asked if he was alright. He said ya, but I knew he was lying. I quickly pulled him into and hug and confronted him about what I had heard. He lied again. Why is he lying. he's just sick it happens to everyone. I told him I'd walk him home and he agreed.

I drop him off and began to walk home. Why was my heart beating so fast. Ugh I don't have time to worry about that I gotta get home and study for the test on Friday.

~Monday~

It's lunch time and even though Sakura is talking all I can think about is Naruto. Why isn't he here AGAIN. I know he was sick on Saturday, but he should feel fine by now. Well at least good enough to come to school.I'll check on him after school.

"Heyyyyy, Sasuke you there?" sakura said while waving her hand in my face. I nodded, I guess I had zoned out.

Naruto POV

I know I should be at school, but I just couldn't get out of bed this morning. I know no one will worry. Why would they? whatever. I'll just sleep it off. I get into bed and check the time. Great it's only lunch and I already feel shitty.

I felt like it had only been a few minutes when I was woke up by knocking. I look at the time. Damn it's already four o'clock. I figured it was a mormon or something so I got up and opened the door. Sasuke was standing there.

"Sasuke?"

"whats up." he said so non chalantly, but all I could do was stand there in shock. Why was he here I just saw him on Saturday. "Are you gonna invite me in or what."

"Right, sure come in.....Sooo why are you here?"

"What I can't check up on my friend."

"haha," I laughed, but why would he be worried?

"I wanted to ask you about something."

"ya what is it?"

"why haven't you been coming to school. I know you were sick on Saturday, but you should be well enough to go to school by now." I stood there for a moment. Eyes wide, and staring at the ground. I didn't know what to say. "You alright?" he asked which pulled me out of the zoned out state I was in.

"Ya why wouldn't I be?" I said with a big smile I knew was fake

"Because you live all alone with no parents or family. I know how that can make you feel. So please talk to me." He sounded so sincere. All I could do was sit on the couch and play with my fingers. Should I tell him or should I lie and force him to believe me. Before I could say anything he spoke, "You don't have to if you don't wanna, but just know I'm here when you're ready."

We both stood up,"Haha sorry but there's nothing going on. Im fine." I said with my hand on my neck.

"Then what's that?" Sasuke replied pointing to my arm.

I put my arm down quickly and pulled down my sleeve. How could I have forgotten. On Saturday I had cut on my arm. I usually cut on my leg but I was wearing pants and didn't have the energy to change.

"Oh that, uh....I got attacked by a stray cat last night while taking out the trash."

"Don't lie to me. I know what that is.....you cut yourself right?"

I just stood there frozen. I couldn't think of what to say. I know if I tell him what is actually going on he would just look at me like I was some kind of monster or freak, but before I could speak he pulled me into a hug.

Sasuke POV

I pulled Naruto into a hug. After seeing that cut and thinking about what he must be going through it's all I could do. He stood there, tensed up, but after a few seconds he hugged back and I could feel the tears going through my shirt and onto my shoulder.

"I'm s-sorry" He said in between sobs. I quickly ended the hug and put my hands and his shoulders so I could look him in the eye.

"Don't be sorry. You haven't done anything wrong. From now on I promise I'll help you get better. We'll do it together." I pulled him into another hug. He just nodded and sobbed. We stayed like that for a few minutes before Naruto pulled away and wiped his tears.
