Nejis pov
It was finally time for me to be discharged. After two months of therapy and care I was finally allowed to leave.
I must say that staying here wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I make a very dear friend in shikamaru.
He's so different from everyone else. He doesn't treat me like a depressed, suicidal boy. He treats me like a normal person. I... feel happy around him. Like maybe I shouldn't kill myself.
"neji are you ready to leave?" uncle asked gently.
I nodded slowly and took his hand. We were about to leave when..
"neji wait!" I turned around to see shikamaru running towards me.
"shikamaru?" I tilted my head in confusion "what are you doing here?
"I heard you were being discharged so I had to see you one last time. Here take this" he handed me a piece of paper with numbers on it.
"is this your phone number?" I muttered as a slight blush appear on my face.
"yep. Just think of it as a reason to keep on living" he winked at me before leaving.
I stared at him with a small smile on my face. Yeah things are sure looking bright from here on out.
