What's The Point?✓

Chapter Nineteen

I look at Dad, who dropped to the ground. Sakura-san and Sasuke-sensei rushed over, and picked him up, seating him into his easy chair. He looked so dead, so tired.

"I hate myself." Dad mumble. I get up and stand by his friends.

"Wow." I say, looking at Sakura-san. She was looking at the ground. Sasuke-sensei didn't move.

"Dad?" I say. My father looked up with a pained look in his eyes, and spoke.

"Yes, Bolt?" 

"Could you please start telling me what happened next?"

"Sure thing."

I looked at the ground, my face burning from the slap. Sasuke got one too. After Sakura broke up with him, he literally just walked out of the school. Sai, Shikamaru and Gaara get up, and look at me.

"You okay?"

I stare at them in anger.

"Do I look like I am?" I yell. The three winced and reached out to pat my shoulder, but I push them away.

"Not now. Can I please be left alone?" I say quietly. They looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay. just go get your stuff. Schools ending in a few minutes." 

"I know."

"Okay."

Then they left. I silently go back outside and pick up my backpack. The bell had rung, and dismissal was set. I walked out of the school. The crowd of students gaggle around me, but I hear nothing. I just look down, fighting back my yells. I walk into the schools entrance. People gather together, in little groups, talking. I keep walking.

"NARUTO UZUMAKI!" I hear a voice shout. Turning around, I see Neji Hyūga, and he was boiling mad. I looked at him with a tired look.

"Here." I say. He looks straight into my eyes, and I stand still. Neji marches over, and grabs my shirt.

"I let you fate my sister. I let you love her. Because she loved you. And what did you do? YOU MADE A BET OVER HER. YOU SHATTERED HER. YOU CRUSHED HER. AND HOW DARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU?" He hollers, and he punched me in the face. Gasps were raised from onlookers. 

I let him punch me. 

I deserved it.

"HOW DARE YOU!" He yelled again and he kicked my stomach. I allow it. Another punch to my face, and blood streams out. Yells of "FIGHT" were going around, but I ignored it. Neji repeatedly kept punching me in the face, and cuts are made. Bruising was happening all over me. He kicked me, and crumpled into a ball. 

"ENOUGH, NEJI!" A shout was heard, I open my swollen eyes, and see Hinata, who had tears down her face. The pain around my body racked, but seeing her teared face crushed and pained my heart more. It hurt more.

Neji stops kicking me and looked at Hinata.

"HE HURT YOU! HE DESERVES IT!" He yells. Hinata walks up and grabs his hand.

"Stop it anyways." She mumbles. Hinata pushed Neji to the side, and he walked away. Just like that. Hinata did have that effect. I rise up, and stand on my feet. The lookers were silent now, and watched as I looked at Hinata and I.

"Hinata..."

"Shut up." She coldly said.

"Please listen!" I begged. She looked at me frostily and nodded her head.

"I swear, I really do love you! That bet, I admit we made it. But I realized I loved you! I really do love you! Please, please believe me!" I say. Hinata looks at me.

"Please say something." I mumble.

"Fine." Her voice dripped like poison.

"I loved you. I loved you for twelve straight years. And when you finally asked me out, I was so happy! You know? I was so happy! Neji picked out my clothes for our last date. The girls helped calm my nerves. I loved you, Naruto Uzumaki! And what did you do? You lied to me. You crushed me. You shattered my heart."

"So, I want to ask one question. May I?" She sweetly says. The sweetness in her voice wasn't like her usual one. It was filled with malice. I look at her and nod.

"WHATS THE POINT? HUH? WHATS THE POINT IN ALL OF THIS? I WILL NEVER BELIVE YOU! NEVER! YOU CRUSHED ME, NARUTO UZUMAKI! SO WE'RE DONE! ALL OF IT. I HATE YOU." She screamed. Then she turned around and walked away.

The silence was heard. The lookers said nothing, and after a few minutes, they resumed talking. Laughing. Joking. It was as if life stopped, then played again.

Except I wasn't played. Tears began streaming down my cheeks.

I was still on pause as I stared at Hinatas back, which was walking away from me every second. I reached out for a touch, but felt nothing.

Just empty air.
