Chapter 3~ Letting Go

TenTen

I sat there crying, balling in Aria's arms. How could he? How could someone I loved be gone forever, how can I move on now thar he's gone? Ever since you left, I've been a wreck. I wouldn't eat properly, I would stay up almost all night crying for the person I cared so much about. And what hurt the most was I never got to hear how much I meant to you.

"shhh its alright, let it all out" Aria said.

I cried more, it felt good that I can release all these tears to a friend that really cares. Were basically the same; we lost someone that we cared deeply about. I don't know how she's able to go on, but I have to be strong; not only for my friends, but for me. If I stay like this I'm going to miss out on my life. I still may be young, but that doesn't mean my life won't end just like that. Things happen to the wrong people for no reason, that's life. I have to put Neji in the past, or I can never move on. It's going to hurt, but it's a start; by saying goodbye. Aria's right, I have to do this. If I didn't come here today I wouldn't have came here at all. This was the first step to closure, and I'm going to take it. I cried my last tears, and looked to Neji's stone.

"its going to hurt, but I need to move on with my life. If I don't get pass this now I don't think I will ever get passed it. So I'm saying my goodbye's, Neji" I began, clearing my dry throat. "I don't think you would like to see me like this anymore, and to put you in the past. I'm going to miss you a lot, but I'm never going to forget you. Goodbye... Neji..." I said and wiped my face. We stood up from the floor, brushing ourselves off. Aria put her hands on my shoulder's and smiled down at me. She was about 4 inches taller than me; after all, she is 24.

"you did good, Tenten" Aria said.

"you think so?" I asked.

"I know so" she said with the brightest smile.

"thanks" I smiled. I owe her a lot for helping me out today and the last 2 years, for all that she done. She's always thought about me and helping me move on, she's like my older sister. I smiled at the thought.
"hey you're smiling!" she said happily.

"am I? I didn't notice" I said still smiling. If she ever needs help with anything, I swear I'm going to help her. If it's a guy she likes, ill get them together. I'll do whatever it takes to keep her happy, it's my turn to help her out. I promise.

"what're you planning Tenny?" she questioned, jokingly.

"nothing.. hey lets go eat! my treat!" I said. I grabbed her arm and dragged her with me, not giving her time to reply.

"H-heyy.. Tenny...!"
