Life is Life

Two Weeks

I woke up at 7:00 exactly, I rolled out of my bed and sighed, another day of school. I was tired of it, Sasuke has been in school a total of 4 times since the rape, 4 full days. Usually he goes to school after everyone leaves, he talks to teachers, he gets his work, hands in work.

All the teachers are very sympathetic and understanding they understand that Sasuke needs time and that after the trials he'll be making his way back to school for the rest of the year. Sasukes grades went down drastically as expected but he was working on them, they weren't his ideal grades mostly 70s but he was getting there. He had time, the grade reports wouldn't be going out until the end of next month.

School was boring to say the least, nothing exciting ever happens and if something does I can't exactly find the power to laugh, I just didn't want to.

I would always get random kids walking up to me asking about Sasuke I'm pretty sure some of them know or at least most of them. It was in the paper not a headline but if you read it you would've seen Sasukes name and the date of the trial.

I've never seen half of the kids that approach me. It just goes to show how much I never really cared about the kids at the school.

Kiba and I crossed paths a few times but I ignored him every time, he was mad at me for something I can't control. I was mad at him for something he could've prevented. He's practically dead to me now. It hurts too because Kiba has always been my best friend, my second half if I was there Kiba wasn't far behind.

The teachers and counselors took notice of me probably because of the rumors going around that Sasuke and I were together. Which are not false rumors but if Sasuke doesn't want people to know then people are not going to know. I don't deny it, just I won't answer it without asking another question.

"Are you and Sasuke dating?" I would look around and ask "Why do you think that?" and they would never have an answer because they never had any proof.

Everyday after school I would walk to Sasukes house and talk to him, he makes me smile, he makes me laugh. I love him. I knew when I was getting involved with him that it wouldn't last, I didn't think it ever would. But now, I know that it will because we both want it too. Maybe in college we wont be as close I don't know. I don't think about that because this isn't temporary, this is real and steady.

I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

It's been two weeks since the hospital incident where Sasuke told the officer who raped him. Itachi has been trying to make it up to Sasuke for leaving, in every way possible. Sasuke was always inclined to forgive him, he loves his brother even after everything he did to him.

I walked downstairs after showering and brushing my teeth, my grandma was leaning against the counter with her coffee like usual. I smiled at her and together we walked to the car. It was a Wednesday and Sasukes trial was in a couple days.

To say Sasuke was nervous would be lying because he's not, Itachi is more nervous than Sasuke. Sasuke says he's not nervous because even if Kisame doesn't go to jail he'll never see him again, he'll never think of that night again. He's moving on.

Sasukes therapist has helped him a lot, I can see it. He sleeps more, he stills wakes up in the middle night with nightmares, he still scrubs himself too hard in the bathroom some days when he isn't feeling like himself. His eating schedule is all over the place and it's not healthy at all. Some days he wont eat at all the next he'll eat very little or too much to the point where he almost throws up.

He worries me.

But it's getting better.

I watched the school come into view, I sighed loudly this day was already feeling slow. In the morning I usually meet up with Suigetsu and occasionally I'll talk to Shikamaru. I never told him about what Kiba did, it's really not my place to tell anyone I'm sure Kiba carries enough guilt for it.
