Chapter 14

Note: This is the alternate ending, the first few parts are the same but if you read the ending you'll see it's different

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You want to talk alone, I can see it in your face. Come with me." Raven gestured for Molly to follow, saying over his shoulder to the rest, "You may go back to your pathetic affairs in which you insist on calling lives."

Raven only came to face her after they had reached the parking lot, sitting on the hood of his car. "Remember when I once said, one day your weakness and vulnerability will only bring you pain and suffering? What did you think I meant when I said that?"

Molly's eyes were burning with fury. "I don't know, am I supposed to?"

"I was giving you advice, telling you to not let your defenses down, anyone could have done that to you, it didn't necessarily have to be me."

"Then why did you?"

"I wanted you to realize everything you've tried, done. You not only ruined their lives but their hopes and dreams as well."

Molly grabbed a hold of Raven's shirt, hissing, "Well who's the smartass that taught me everything I knew?"

"When I said you were innocent, I said it to let you know I didn't want to drag you into the darkness with me, not because I wanted you to become like me. I live this way because it was the only way I knew how."

"You're avoiding my question."

"If you listened, you'd know I'm not. Think back, it'll all make sense."

Molly and Raven had gone against her cousins' wishes. She had so fallen deeply in love with Raven, but it seemed he had never returned those feelings.

He had broken it off only three months after they had begun to date, saying she wasn't strong enough, that she was tainted with purity.

She begged him to teach her how to be strong, in hopes that he would take her back although she never said that out loud.

He had taught her how to manipulate people to get what she wanted.

She followed his orders without question.

All she wanted was love…..the love that could only come from deep within Raven.

But along the way, she had forgotten why she had started her life's turn, instead only hurting people for her own pleasures.

Molly fell to the ground, gasping for breath, "What have I done?"

She wished now that her tears would start falling, but all she felt was an emptiness inside. What had she been thinking, hurting all those that tried to get close to her, to really get to know her.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."

She numbly sat on the curb, "I can't believe all this happened because of you."

"What would I have anything to do with this?" Raven looked some-what startled.

"Because I thought this was the only way."

"Only way to get what?"

"You."

Raven's eyes clouded over with confusion. "You've always had me, baby."

"No you didn't, if I always did you wouldn't have broken up with me."

Raven stunned her as he spun her around, his lips finding hers.

Molly had melted into his arms at first, the familiarity, the smell of his hair, wrapping a safe cocoon around her. As Raven held her shoulders, deepening the kiss, she found herself coming back to earth, no longer did she see bright colors in front of her eyes, but only what there was. The dark parking lot, Raven's dark auburn hair.

Raven felt her weariness. He backed away, "I guess it was good while it lasted."

Molly nodded, "I think our relationship ended back when you broke it off, I guess I was so content on getting you back, I never realized that it wasn't true love."

"I'll see you around Molly."

Molly sat back down on the curb, rethinking over everything she had done, how she could make up for all the wrong doings.

"Molly." A sharp voice said.

Molly turned around, to be met up with her cousin, Hardcore Holly.

"Sometimes, I really can't believe you're related to me, I'll take you home." He said, opening the door to his car, opening it so she could step in.

Molly got into the car wordlessly.

As the car drove through the high way, she looked at Hardcore Holly, saying, "Can we stop by Spike and Lita's graves?"

Hardcore Holly told her that it would take around three hours to drive to their graves.

"I don't care, please, take me there I need to go there."

"Why?"

"To pay my respects, to get closure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'll wait in the car."

Molly concurred, walking up the small steps towards the top of the moutain overlooking the city in which Lita and Spike were buried side by side.

She traced the light etchings of the smooth stone.

Lita

April 14, 1975

Spike Dudley

Aug. 13, 1970

May they find eachother, in heaven, and in their arms.

"I'm sorry Spike, Lita. Spike, I really was in love with you, in a twisted screwed up way that I was. Lita, I'm glad that Spike found you, I could see by the way you were always in eachothers arms, you two really were the perfect couple made in heaven."

Her tears finally came to her, slipping quietly onto the stone. Molly wiped it away with her hands, but found the tears smearing, leaving a smudged pattern.

"Forgive me Spike, I know if I were in the same shoes that you were, I wouldn't give myself a second glance, but please I'll never be able to move on without knowing you're all right."

A wind passed by just the, the air making her hair flow back, creating ripples in the air.

"Thank you." Molly whispered, looking up in to the sky.

She made her way back down the stairs, only looking back at the hill, and the sky only when she had reached the end.

She glanced back once more speaking softly, "Good at Being Bad?"

She gazed up above to the sky, seeing that the skies were clearing up, a rainbow appearing which seemed so near, but she knew was far in distance.

"Every day's a new day with no mistakes, now it's my turn to start a new chapter in my life, with a clean conscience."
