1 month later ..

Fall, the season of the cool chilled air, of the beautiful leaves. It's also the season when you start a new school year, my last school year. Young children were playing in a park across the street. Enjoying the big piles of fallen leaves. They pointed towards us, well the school. I could imagine what they must've been thinking in their little minds ' I want to be a big kid too ! '. The truth is, we all wanted to grow up but, when the time comes, you only wish you could stay a kid forever. Life was simpler that way. No problems, no grief. Only fun and happiness, not a care in the world. I wished I'd still be a kid, I wouldn't be-

" Hey, Forehead ! Are you listening ? " an annoying voice said. I realized I was gazing outside the window for the past 10 minutes, I must've look like an idiot. " You're not eating ? " Ino asked, for the fourth time this week, it was getting irritating.

" I'm not hungry .. " Who the hell did she thought she was ? My mother ? Damn, I wished I could be by myself right now ..

" You haven't eat lunch at all this week ! The more I think about it, I haven't seen you eat since we started school. You're like a diet or something ? "

" Yeah.. that's it." I lied. I didn't feel like eating, that's all.

We were splashing water at each other. The weather was hot today, hotter than any other day. The lake was refreshing and the surroundings were breath-taking.

" Okay, okay ! I surrender ! " he said, laughing. I haven't seen him smile like that since that night. I stopped throwing water and made my way towards him. He had his arms wide open, waiting for my embrace. I wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a kiss on his perfect lips.

" You sure ? " I whispered in his ear, teasing. An Uchiha never surrenders.

" No .. " he whispered back, descending me with him. I searched for him under the water, but he was nowhere to be found. I realized he wasn't there. Gone. I couldn't make my way back up, something was holding me back. I was drowning ..

My eyes snapped open, flinching at the piece of chalk I've been throw at. " Miss Haruno, if you wish not attending this class again next year, I suggest you stay awake and pay attention. " Iruka sensei stated. I noticed I was trembling. Ever since I came back home, I had these nightmares about my good days I've spend with him turning into something awful. As if my brain thought by itself, he knew I wanted to forget Sasuke, so he transformed my memories into dreadful moments.

" What's the matter, Sakura-chan ? " a quiet voice whispered. I turned my head and saw Hinata sitting at the desk on my right. She looked worried.

" Don't worry about me, it's nothing. This class just boring .. " I said, forgetting to whisper. Soon, I had everyone's attention, including Iruka's ..

" Miss Haruno, " he started " if class is so boring and tiring, why don't you just leave ? " he said, angry.

" I think that's the smartest thing you've ever said, Sensei ! " I grabbed my things and got up, ready to leave. As I got up, dizziness overcame me. Everything started to spin. My legs were weak, as if my head, my body was to heavy to support.

" Sakura-chan ? "

" Is she alright ? "

" I think she's going to faint ! "

THUD!

And then everything became black.

Where was I ? Was this death ? Was I dead ? I couldn't my arms, my legs nor my body. What happened to me ? I tried to move what I thought were my arms, imaginating them where they would usually be.

" She's moving ! "

Who was that ?

" Is she waking up ? "

Mom ?

" I think so ! "

Dad ?

" Sakura, please, wake up honey .. "

" Come back to us Sakura-chan "

Naruto ? I opened my eyes. The light hit my eyes, and then everything became blurry. " Where am I ? " I managed to say. The view came back slowly. The walls were a celadon color, I was lying on a small white bed. There was a scent of flowers near me, this only meant one thing ..

" Oh honey, you're in the hospital ! " the person who I recognized as my mother said. Dad and Naruto were here too. What happened to me ? " I'm so happy you're okay sweetie, you must be hungry, I'll go get you some food ! "

" I'm not. " Eating was the last thing I wanted to do right now. There was too many questions I had to ask right now.

" You need to eat, trust me. " She said, and then she left. Probably to get some food, stubborn mother.

" Glad you're okay. " My father said, giving a kiss on my forehead. " I'll go talk with the doctor." Why were they all leaving ? Was I in a really bad condition ? I guessed Naruto would be the one answering my questions.

" What happened ? " I asked. Naruto approached me and sat on my bed.

" Sakura-chan, you need to talk to someone, let it all out. " he started " You can't keep this for yourself forever. I know something happened between you and Teme, I let it go once, but I won't let it go twice. You need to tell me ! " he sounded concerned.

" Why do I need to tell you what happened ? You haven't answered my questio-"

" You're having a depression ! You don't sleep anymore. You don't eat anymore, Doctor's think it's anorexia ! " He interrupted me. " Sakura-chan, I don't want to lose you. You're the best friend/sister I ever had, I'll help you all the way. We'll get through this together ! " Maybe he was right. Maybe I needed to let it all out. " Sakura-chan .. please .. I promise " I wrapped my arms around his neck. I cried on his chest.

" Naruto .. you know you're the best friend/brother I ever had, right ? I trust you. More than everyone. " I sobbed. I started to tell him what have happened. I knew, I promised myself that, when I finished telling him, I won't be weak anymore, I'll change. I'll be a better person. I'll move on. And I will leave this all behind.
