Chapter 8
Raven's POV
Everyday, he would call me at the same time.
Everyday, his voice would calm my every nerve when he spoke to me.
Everyday, he would talk to Melvin and make her laugh as if there was no worry in the world. And because of him, there isn't anything for her to worry about. Melvin never mentioned Wilson, she didn't even react when I told her that he wasn't going to be in our lives. She hugged me because she knew clearly how it had affected me.
I stared at her in amazement now as she was playing with Kori and her teddy bear Bobby. She was doing a lot better than I was. I found it hard to believe that Wilson would ever cheat on me, but I saw with my own eyes. Robin was saw it as well, he was proof that it wasn't a dream... a nightmare that I felt trapped in.
Robin would meet with all of us -including Kori, Roy, Victor and Karen- at the park, every Saturday and play with Melvin. Somehow Robin managed to make me forget about him, and eventually our friendship developed into a serious relationship. And just like Kori and Roy, I only got to see him on the weekends.
Everything seemed to pass in a blur. But as weeks turned into months, Robin's calls became less and less frequent. His visit were cut shorter, I didn't question him at first but then I started to realize that this also couldn't be controlled. It just happened. I hated to admit, but I was becoming depressed again.
After almost a year since I found out about Wilson and Terra, I never heard from Robin again. Whenever i asked Roy about him, he would say he's busy at work. Robin would show up eventually, right?
I thought he would, but three months past since I last saw him. It hurt when Melvin would ask about him, I had no answer for her. Even at night's after she was sleeping I could hear her calling out his name, I cried silently every time.
Eventually the fourth month came, I knew he left me for certain. He hadn't called, he never even visited. I stopped crying for him, I knew this would happen again. I had to be strong for Melvin.
Two days ago when I was sitting on the living room couch, I looked at the table in front of me where his cell phone was. That morning I shredded his credit card, but as I waited for the phone to ring, I knew I was hoping for a miracle to happen. Before I decided to throw away his phone as well, I received a call for a job interview. It was all I needed to help me pick up my life once again.
Now as I waited for my nerves to calm down, I took a deep breath before heading into the a large building, a new company that had yet to put its name up. As I walked up to the recptionist, I looked around. The place may have been going under construction out side, but in the inside it was beautiful. I didn't have too much time to admire it though, since the receptionist called out to me.
"Raven Roth, I have an appointment today." I could barely hear the sound of my voice.
"Ah yes, he's waiting for you in the office. Come this way." She stood up from her desk, and I followed.
I frowned slightly. "I hope im not too late."
She laughed a careless laugh. "No, no don't worry. I'm used to him being here completly early. You're the only appointment for today."
It surprised me to hear this, making me wonder if I was the only one, why make the interview as early as ten o'clock. We stopped shortly after wards to a large pair of wooden doors, with long silver handles. She signaled for me to enter as she walked away.
I took a deep breath one last time to clear my mind before I stepped into the office. A tall dark haired man stood facing the window. I could only see his silhouette as he shifted a little for him to see me, but not the other way around.
"Ah, Miss Roth, glad you could make it. Please take a seat." His voice sounded awfully familiar to me. Before I could register who's voice it belonged to, he turned around. His long hair was slick back, and his black tux made his blue eyes stand out. I gasped.
"Robin!" I stood still, unsure as if i should run into his arms because this felt like a dream that I didn't want to wake up from.
He made the first moved by walking right in front of me, his cocky smirk never got old. "Raven..." He took my hand and kissed it. I just stared at him speechless, before I wrapped my arms around him, holding onto him tight. Tears streamed down my face. His scent, of so familiar and yet so hard to describe. It was his scent. He was back.
A/N: I've been holding out this chapter for a over 6 months. Why? because I didn't like it, and to be honest at this point I lost interest in this particular story so i thought it would be best to wrap this up as simple as possible (i almost didn't post this either but what good is a story without an ending?). I geez i feel like i totally chickened out but what else can i do, i really dont want to force this story.
With this, I give you guys a final goodbye for this story. This is the last chapter, so i hope you all enjoyed reading this!
