I cant believe Gaara of all people would do something like that to me...

I got up from bed and made myself cereal for breakfast. After finishing up my cereal I went got ready to walk around the village because I had nothing better to do and I didn't want to sulk about loosing one of my close friends, Gaara. When I walked out the door there was a slip of paper on the floor so I opened it.

Great thats tomorrow, shes one of my pretty close friends so I'm probably expected to go.. I looked around my closet for the best thing I could find which was a pair of jeans and a black shirt.. This isn't going to do..

I grabbed my frog coin bag to see how much money I had and headed out to look for some clothes. As I was walking around the village I saw a shop that sold cheap suits so I went in to choose the most affordable option.

"Naruto! Is that you?" After paying the cashier I looked back to see Sakura with Sasuke. "Are you here because of Ino's party?"

I looked over at Sasuke which was looking directly at me. "Uh.. Yeah." I got really nervous under Sasuke's heavy gaze.

"Are you going with Gaara? I'm going with Sasuke!" My heart dropped at her question, making me think back to the night before when Gaara tried to force himself onto me. "Naruto? Are you okay? You're looking a little pale.." Sakura's words started fading as my vision went black. The last thing I remember seeing is Sasuke's concerned face, holding me in his arms as consciousness left me.

When I woke up I was in a hospital bed with Sasuke's head resting on my hospital bed. "S..Sauske?" I mumbled. "What are you doing here?"

Sasuke's eyes started to open, when his eyes landed on me they shot open. "Naruro!" He pulled me in for a hug. "How are you doing!?" He pulled out of the hug, letting me go. I'm not going to lie it felt nice to be under his embrace but I knew it was wrong. It's better if I hide these emotions I feel even if it costs me my happiness. I really hated the fact that I felt this way even after he tried to kill me, he regretted it and back thenI thought that was enough for him to be able to love me but I know that it was the bare minimum, not enough for him to stop himself. He cared more about his pride than me so I was prepared to ignore my love for him.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you say we should just ignore each other." I said, coldly.

"Yeah, I was just worried. Sorry." Sasuke said, getting up from the chair he was sitting on and left the hospital room. Was I too harsh? He stopped near the door. "I'll try my best to ignore my feelings." And he left. A part of me hoped he would come back because even if he hurt me I couldn't possibly forget him. Hopefully these feelings of mine disappear one day.

I tried getting up from the hospital bed when lady Tsunade walked in. "What are you doing Naruto?! You can't leave until your checked out by a doctor."

"When can I leave then?" Hopefully I can leave before Ino's party starts.

"Don't worry you'll be home before Ino's party, she invited me too y'know. We just had to do a few tests. We are currently waiting for the results to come in." Thank god, I don't want to seem like a bad friend towards Ino, she takes stuff like attendance very seriously.

Lady Tsuanade was gone for a while, she came back a hour or so later. "We've got the test results back, turns out the reason you fainted was due to malnutrition and possibly stress. Make sure you are eating three meals a day Naruto."

"Sigh... Okay. Sorry to bother. Can I go now?" Lady Tsuande gave me a disappointed look and walked towards me, pulling out the tubes that were connected to me.

"You are free to go. You better be eating right, try to find someone you can vent your problems to, it can really help with stress, if you need me, I'm here." She said, patting my shoulder and handing me the suit I had bought at the shop before I fainted.

"Thanks Tsunade." I smiled at her and left the hospital.

After going to the hospital I went to Ichiraku ramen because I was pretty hungry, after everything that happened I had lost my apatite but I was starting to feel better. I smiled to myself, everything is going to be okay.

Once I finished my ramen I paid and walked home to get ready for Ino's birthday party. I walked into my apartment, the cold breeze brushed my face. I let put a sigh, it was really lonely having no one. When I was close friends with Sasuke he would always hang out with me, it really made me feel like I belonged somewhere. Like I had someone to look forward to talking to.

I grabbed the suit and put it on, it fit perfectly. I grabbed a come and styled my hair as best as I could. After, I realized I needed some type of perfume so I looked through my bathroom drawers. I grabbed a blue perfume bottle I found at the bottom of one of them and sprayed it on. Finally, I grabbed the best shoes I owned and slipped them on.

Once I was happy with how I looked I checked the time. Yup.. I have around 30 minutes before the party starts. I opened my front door and walked out hoping I the night would go by fast. I would say hi to Ino and a few other people before sneaking away. Perfect plan right?
