One last time

Chapter 2

"Please... Why are you doing this to me?" Naruto whispered as his head slammed into the wall harshly. Naruto tried to block one hit from his bestfriends turned tormentors. "Oh please, you know why dobe." Sakura snarled, slapping him across his face, a loud clap resounding through the hallway when her palm connected with his soft cheek. Naruto felt the sting of pain when the skin on the corner of his lips spilt and started bleeding. Her ring had sliced his cheek as well, blood running from the wounds down his face, leaving crimson red trails in its wake. The last thing he remembered was a fist flying towards his face and he hit the ground, people around him laughing.
Naruto jolted awake from the nightmare. Naruto buried his face into his hands as he took a few shaky breaths, his hands trembling. It's just a nightmare... It's just a nightmare... It's just a nightmare. Naruto chanted in his own head, trying to convince himself that Sasuke and sakura would never do that to him. Naruto's heart was thumping loudly in his ears, he tried to will his heart to slow down. If it doesn't, he would have to start rushing towards his medication. Not like the medicine would do anything... I wish it would just kill me. Naruto thought bitterly. It was sad that the boy wanted to die but he couldn't die because Tsunade didn't want him to. Tsunade is his godmother and the best doctor in the world. She has been trying so hard to find a cure and she still is.
His parents had died when he was a baby and she took up the role to take care of him with her husband Jiraiya, they were very busy people and they travel a lot. Tsunade is a doctor and Jiraiya is a world-bestselling author. They barely have any time for him and he isn't gonna complain about not having enough attention. He is content with just a roof over his head and a small allowance that is enough for him to last through the month. They had bought him a house for him to live in on his own on his request with the condition that they have the spare key so they can check on him and that he will check in with them as much as he could.
He had contemplated suicide a few times but he always came to the same conclusion that Tsunade and Jiraiya would be devastated. He decided not to worry them too much by putting on a brave face and a smile. It deceived them. It always did. But it was for the greater good, he didn't want them to worry over him and treat him like he was glass.

Naruto's face was split into a smile as he walked down the hallway in school. Names and insults started flying towards him, his smile faltered but he never showed it. He wouldn't show them his weakness.
Naruto ran. He ran towards the bathroom and quickly dived into a stall, locking it with shaky hands before he turned towards the toilet bowl and retched. He collapsed onto his knees as he started coughing. Crimson red blood stood out starkly against the porcelain white toilet bowl. His insides were twisting in pain, it was like wringing out a wet cloth and and straightening it and twisting in the other direction. Naruto wiped his mouth as he leaned tiredly against the cool wall of the stall. He was trying to ignore the painful wrings from his abdomen and chest but was failing miserably. He quickly fumbled for his medication and shakily took a few pills as prescribed. The pain was residing a little bit but his consciousness was fading. I need to get back to class. Naruto thought weakly as he tried to force himself to stand back up.

Tsunade was getting a really bad feeling as she hurried through the school. Naruto had missed his checkup today. He might have attended school instead so she was now hurrying through towards his class to check on him. The last time he missed his checkup he almost died. They had discovered a new unknown substance that had messed with his internal organs which had in turn caused his body to start shutting down from the foreign antigen-like substance. Now he had to be kept under surveillance to make sure it doesn't spread. So far it hadn't but they can't be sure about that. "Where is Uzumaki Naruto?" Tsunade's voice filled with authority which immediately silenced the room. Many whispers broke out, wondering who this woman was and the few who knew spoke excitedly that they finally got to meet their idol. "He went to the washroom, Tsunade-sama." Said woman paled slightly from her piercing gaze turning towards her almost like she was gonna accuse her of something.
"Did he say why?"
"No. He just rushed out after asking for permission." The teacher said politely. Tsunade mumbled a thank you before she shut the door roughly and was already running towards the closest washroom before the door even shut properly. She threw the door open, not caring if there was anyone doing their business in there. She checked the stall and came to one that was nearest to the wall and was locked. She pounded on it, asking whoever that was inside to open up. No response. Tsunade snarled as she used her nails to twist the door lock into the open position. It was those type of locks with a small insert near the slot that showed the red and green colour. She stuck her nail into the slot and started the process of trying to get the door to open faster.
When the door opened she wanted to jump around in a happy dance but her happiness was short lived as she came to the horrific sight of Naruto unconscious on the ground, his medication in hand and blood in the toilet bowl. Tsunade immediately checked his pulse and gathered the fragile boy in her arms. She quickly flushed the toilet and ran to her car with Naruto limp in her arms. The boy was small framed and incredibly thin. Please hang in there Naruto.
