Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Love can make you do crazy things ❯ The phone call ( Chapter 8 )

The next week, Sakura gave Rikka her pay check and Rikka took the bus to the car dealers. When she got back she ran up to Sakura's room and banged on her door.

 

-“Sakura!! I got my car!” Rikka yelled banging on her door again. Sakura answered the door and got tackled to the ground by a now purple haired Rikka. “It's a jeep!!” she cried.

 

-“Woah Rikka! Calm down!” Rikka let go of Sakura and they stood in silence for a few seconds before Rikka exploded.

 

-“So, do ya wanna go for a ride in or what?!?!?!?” she exclaimed and started running to the elevator before even getting an answer from Sakura. Sakura chuckled and went to get her house keys. She locked her door and ran so she could catch up with Rikka. When she got outside the first thing she saw was a bright red jeep.

 

-“Oh my god!” Sakura exclaimed. “It's so cool!”

 

-“Common'!” Rikka said pointing to her car with her thumb. “Let's go show it off!”

 

So Sakura and Rikka drove around town and showed off Rikka's little jeep. When they got back to the complex, it was nearly 8 p.m. They had Chinese food in Rikka's room, then Sakura came back to her own room for the night. At about two in the morning, her phone rang. *Who could be calling at this hour?* she thought as she picked up the phone.

 

-“Hello?”

 

-“Yes hello. Is this a miss Sakura Haruno?” asked an older sounding man

 

-“Yes, how can I help you?”

 

-“This is Doctor Mathews from the Times Square Hospital. I'm afraid to say that your mother has a brain tumor and requires surgery as soon as possible.” Sakura froze right up. *My mom has a brain tumor? Surgery?! Shit, I better get down there!*

 

-“Hold on, I'll be right there!” she cried and hung up the phone.

 

She grabbed her keys and ran to her punchbuggy. There was no traffic so Sakura ran all the red lights and didn't stop for anything. When she got there, she ran inside to the front desk.

 

-“I'm here to see my mom, Sora Haruno!” she said to the lady at the front desk.(me: I made the name up)

 

-“Alright. She's on the 3rd level, room 104.”

 

Sakura ran to the elevator and punched in the number 3. Once there she started looking at the room numbers. *102,....103,.....104!* She opened the door and looked inside. Doctor Mathews was standing at the end of a bed with a clipboard of papers in his hand. He turned to look at Sakura.

 

-“Are you Sakura Haruno?” he asked

 

Sakura nodded and closed the door behind her. She walked up the bed and gasped. There was her mom, she was really pale in the face and she was hooked up to a bunch of tubes and wires. Sakura could feel tears forming in her eyes.

 

-“We'll need a good some of money before we can operate.” the doctor said. Sakura whipped her eyes.

 

-“How much?” she asked. Doctor Mathews looked at his clipboard.

 

-“6,000 dollars.” he said.

 

Sakura's eyes widened and she could feel more tears forming. *I don't have that kind of money! It would take me at least 3 months to get enough, and that's if I don't eat! Plus, I just gave Rikka my last 2,000 bucks for her car!* Sakura looked at the doctor.

 

-“How long do I have to get the money?”

 

-“I would say a month at the most.”

 

-“I'll get the money mom, just hang on.” Sakura whispered.

 

She slowly walked back to her car and drove home.

 

She didn't sleep that night............
