I walked around my apartment, looking for my phone as I cried. Finally, I find it under my bed. I dial Sasuke's number, praying he answers.

It goes to voicemail.

"Why does he never pick up when I need him!" I called him a several times, no answer. I give him one final call. It goes straight to voice this time, he switched his phone off? Seriously?

I called again, no answer. I had called all my friends that night. Not a single person had picked it up. Finally, giving up. Something inside me snapped.

Why do I always get ignored? I did nothing wrong! I'm always there when they need me, so why can't they do the same? Am I just some kind of a toy that they can just use and throw away whenever they feel like it?

I had no one that night, no one to listen to me. No one that cared for me, this couldn't go on. I needed to set boundaries. But how? I don't have anyone who cares about me, other than.. grandma and grandpa!

I contacted my grandma and grandpa, Jiraiya & Tsunade. They had picked up after a few seconds. Grandma Tsunade was really worried, she left her place to come get me after I broke down and told her everything.

"I can't get the vision out of my head grandma! They're dead! They're gone!"  I bawled my eyes out.

"Do not worry Naruto! I'm heading over there right now!" Grandma Tsunade said. "Please promise me you won't do anything to yourself Naruto, for Kushina's sake!" She said getting worried.

..

"I-I promise.. please drive safe, i will not hurt myself." I said as i started to calm down after a few minutes. It took almost 3 hours for her to reach here. As she knocked heavily on my door, i answered as soon as i heard it.

"Shh, don't cry! Tell me what's going on?" She came in, hugging me tightly. "They are gone! Mom and dad are gone!" I cried.
"What do you mean?"

Seems like she hadn't watched the news. "The plane they were on crashed!" She grew pale as soon I as i said that. "Oh my.."

I woke up, all sweaty from the nightmares. I looked around trying to make out my surroundings with my blurry vision. I was in my room, awake earlier than usual. I got up as I took a warm bath which lasted nearly an hour, I lazily got up as I cleaned myself. I got dressed and walked out of my room.

I walked around the lavish apartment that my grandparents got me. I was so grateful for them, without them I wouldn't have been able to cope with my past. I decided that instead of feeling miserable, I could do something fun. I put on some loud music, as I opened the curtains to let the sunshine inside through the big windows. I lived alone, which was boring at times but I loved feeling of not being bothered.

I made some breakfast, looking forward to get some work done. I had been working as a digital content writer for the past few months to get my mind off the whole incident with my parents. It has a great pay and it's mostly work from home.

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked, pointing at the commotion in the front of the school. "It's some new kid, the girls are going crazy." Kiba mumbled as we waited for Shikamaru and Sai. I gave him a nod as we walked away from the group of girls, not wanting to get caught up.

We saw Sai coming over to us as he had his arm around Ino, the two couple walked over with Hinata and Sakura following them. Ino greeted us, "Hey guys!"
