Someone To Run To

Chapter two: Returning to reality

I awoke to someone gripping my hand tightly. My mother's eyes suddenly came alive and instantly filled with tears. Her red hair was messy as if she'd had no sleep, and the bags under her eyes only proved my theory.

"Mum?" I tried to say but all that came out was a hoarse, cracked voice. She looked at me with pity and it all came flooding back to me. Him. The rope. Nearly dying. Being saved by a mystery guy. And oh so luckily for me, when the memories came back, so did the emotions. Fear, sadness, anger, disgust. Why me? What did I do? Whatever it was world, I'm sorry, just please stop trying to kill me.

Since I couldn't talk to anyone else, when my mum left, I decided to talk to my all loving best friend split personality, kyuubi.

"Hey kyuubi, can you hear me?

" yeah,I can,mind warning me next time you go all suicidal though? That freaking hurt!"

"It wasn't a suicide attempt you idiot! Someone hung me!"

"Huhh? Did I not teach you anything? You're supposed to murder them!"

"That would just get me a free ticket to prison!!"

I sighed. Well, tried to. You could just never reason with that guy.

Sasuke POV

The moment I woke up I sighed, no wonder my brother says I'm not a positive person. I looked at the calendar and sighed again. Another annoying school. Another annoying class. More annoying "friends." I decided to quickly get dressed and leave. I didn't want to talk to my brother. In all honesty, I'm a little nervous after yestaday, which is completely unheard of, for an uhchia like me.

****flashback****

I was about to walk in the classroom with the forms I actually need for this school, which I had to practically beg Itachi to complete. I realised the door was locked, so obviously, I borrowed the keys from a teacher and opened the door. Then I saw him, his ocean blue eyes closing slowly, looking as if they'd never open again. He was nearly dead.

"ITACHI GET HERE NOW!"

My brother walked in annoyed, until he saw my face, then the boy. He was speechless. I put my phone in his hand and demanded he call a hospital. I got the boy down and starred. I heard Itachi start screaming to the doctor that this kid needed help. The blonds expression was one of terror. He hadn't done this to himself. As this settled in, I began to feel sick.

***end of flashback***

I know it would be wrong for me not to be nervous after that, but even so I didn't want Itachi to know this. I wasn't in the mood for his sarcasm. Then again, I never was. I sprinted out the house to school.
