Chapter Text
"She's so weak" Drop "Like why do guys even keep her on the team?" Drop Drop "Sakura-chan is weak, but at least she's pretty." Drop Drop Drop "I wish I could do something as sensei, but I just kick her off the te-"
She doesn't remember when she started running, all she knows is she had to stop listening. I didn’t even realize that I reached my house. I didn’t realize me stepping inside and taking off my shoes. I didn’t realize I was going through my empty house to go upstairs.
That was until I looked in the mirror and saw a face I didn’t recognize, it had bloodshot eyes and tear streaks down its face with glistening sweat on its forehead. But that person was me, a messed-up version.
I concluded that it was best I take a shower before doing anything else. which ended with sitting on the floor of the shower crying until the water became freezing. Once I got out and went through my routine on autopilot, and when I was done it was already 21:42 so I hurried to bed and cried myself to sleep.
That night I kept waking up screaming because I was dreaming of my teammates looking down at me and saying “Weak” “Annoying” “Stay back” and “Get off the team!”
I tried to stop thinking of what they said but I just couldn't, it kept invading my mind and every time I remembered another thing said, it felt like my chest was closing in on itself and that I was being dragged into the ocean but every time I looked down nothing was there. so instead of fighting it, I made my final decision, that tonight I would leave.
I didn't even know what I was packing, all knew it had to get out of Konoha, and fast. once I was finished packing my necessities, I changed into a grey turtleneck that was stuffed into the back of the closet and black sweatpants, I also put on my dad's old black cloak.
I didn't have to worry about my parents worrying because they died in the chunin exams attack. While I was pretending to be a ninja.
when I was done changing and checking for anything I missed, I opened the window, looked back for the last time, and remembered all the memories I made in this very house, I took one more last breath, dropped one last tear, and jumped.
I soared through the sky towards the gates. Only slowing down to sneak past open windows so I didn’t alert anybody. Once I reached the wall surrounding the village I jumped on top and looked back at the village one more time.’ when I return, I will be stronger than before and all will rue’ I thought and left the village.
