My head felt heavy as I opened my eyes slowly.... Everything was blurry... It took sometime to bring my eyes in focus.... This place is so familiar....

"Hospital? "

Who brought me here?... I looked at my wrist and found it wrapped up with bandage and cotton... Last thing I remembered was holding the knife.... How I ended up in this place?.... Ino opens the door entering...

Ino :  So your finally awake...

Me :  Who brought me here?

Ino :  Me. I came after you.... And found your apartment door open.... Why you did that?

Me :  I wanted to end my miserable life... But seems like even god don't have a place for me.

Ino was about to say something when Naruto and others entered including Lady Tsunade.

Naruto :  Thank god your alright.

Hinata :  Why you did that? We were so worried...

Me :  You shouldn't have saved me.
Am just a burden.

Naruto :  Shut up! How dare you do this to yourself for that asshole?! You didn't even think about us once! Neither about yourself!

Me :  (tears forms at the corner of my eyes)  Am sorry...

Naruto :  You aren't a burden....

Hinata :  Yea... Sakura... More over I.... We.. Want to thank you.... (She looks at Naruto)

Me :  You mean... You two finally did it?!

She nods blushing... A smile curled up on my lips.

Lady Tsunade :  I never expected this from you Sakura. Do you even know how tough last night was for us?.... You help children so that they don't take dangerous step like suicide.... And you did that yourself?

Me :  You can take away my license...

Lady Tsunade :  No need for that.

Me :  As you wish...

Lady Tsunade :  (hugs me)   Welcome back.

I broke down in tears while hugging her.

Me :  Am such a fool.

Lady Tsunade :  Now now child don't cry anymore. We have not informed anything about this to your parents. If you want we can send them the news.

Me :  No... Please don't... They would worry....

I heard Itachi's voice as he walked and stood in front of my bed.

Itachi :  Can I talk to her in private?

Lady Tsunade :  Sure.

Everyone left the room as Itachi sat down beside my bed.

Me :  Why you came here? You should take rest.

Itachi :  First of all am sorry from my brother's behalf.

Me :  Don't be. It was just misunderstanding.

Itachi :  And you tried to kill yourself for that. Don't even thinking that you might be proving him right? Start loving yourself Sakura. Don't live for others. Live for yourself. That would make not only you but your companions happy too. You didn't see how much they were worried about you yesterday night.

Me :  You're right... I fell for someone who doesn't deserve me..... But not anymore... Thank you Niisan... I mean... Itachi... Can I call you niisan?

Itachi :  Sure... I would love to have a cute little sister like you.

Someone knocked at the door as Itachi opened it Neji came inside with a small notebook and pen in his hand.

Neji :  I need to take your statement Sakura.

Me:  About?

Neji :  You know committing suicide is one of the crimes right?

Me :  Yeah....

Neji :  Well... I have took care of that... But I need to know something... Was Sasuke Uchiha the one to force you to take such a ridiculous step?

Me :  Why you asking that?

Neji :  Think carefully before answering. Your one statement will help us to put the culprit behind the bar.

Me:  No. I did it cause I hate myself.

Neji :  You sure?

Me :  Yea.

Neji :  Can't believe you still saving him. Everyone witnessed what happened yesterday. Anyways.

He gets up and walks off sighing.

Itachi :  Why did you saved him?

Me :  I don't want to blame anyone....

Itachi :  Alright then take some rest.

Few days later....

Entering Itachi's room I gave him a warm smile.

Me :  Time for your discharge Niisan.

Itachi was busy packing his clothes as he looked at me and smiled.

Itachi :  Just done Sakura.

Me :  Well someone has come to take you.

Itachi :  (turning around)  Who?..

Me :  Come in.

Izumi enters through the door and runs up to Itachi and hugs him.

Itachi :  Izumi?

Izumi :  I missed you so much.

Itachi :  I missed you too.

Me :  Um... So you two will get married after this?

Itachi :  *looking at me* Yeah.

Me :  All the best for your life.

Itachi :  Thank you.

Leaving Izumi he picks up his bag.

Itachi :  Let's go Izumi. Bye Sakura.

Me :  I have something for you. Please wait for me outside.

Itachi :  Sure.

Minutes later....

I stood near the main door as I heard some familiar voices.

Itachi's voice :  Do you even know what you did that day?! She could have died!

Sasuke's voice :  Can I meet her just one more time?....

Itachi's voice :  You have already done too much. It would be better if you leave.

Sasuke's voice :  You scolding me for a weakling like her?! I said nothing wrong that day!.... I was just... Jealous....

Sasuke was jealous cause he saw me with Lee and Naruto?

"How ridiculous"

Why should he?... Even after having a girlfriend?

Itachi's voice :  Leave... And don't return ever again... I don't want to see you near her...

Sasuke's voice :  As long as you don't blame me.

I heard his footsteps as he walked further and further away from the hospital. After he is gone I appeared behind Itachi acting normal.

Me :  Hey.

Itachi :  Took you some time.

Me :  (taking out a bouquet and giving him)  Sorry about that. *grins*

Itachi :  Thanks a lot. *pokes my forehead* Little sister... All the best for your future....
