Hey peeps. I'm back with the fourth installment of Unbreakable. I would like to dedicate this chapter to my three best friends, Kori, Sierra, and Veronika.

Unbreakable
Raven woke up with a start. She had a dream about Richard. Again.
Flashback:
A little girl with short black hair sat in the middle of her yard with her legs crossed, staring up at a tree. The next door neighbor's little boy was hiding in the bush separating their yards watching her.
After a few minutes, the little boy's feet started to fall asleep, so he shifted his position. This caused the bush to rustle, also causing the little girl to look in the bush in which the boy was hiding. She stood up and walked over to said bush.
The boy knew he had been spotted, but didn't move. After all, he was only two; the only female he had ever really been around was his mother.
The black hired girl stopped directly in front of the boy. "You may come out." She called. The small boy remained where he was. The girl was getting impatient. Finally, she reached into the bush for the boy's hand, grabbed it, and pulled him out.
"I know you were watching me." She said. The boy blushed. He had hoped she didn't notice. "Oh." He said plainly. The girl gave him an odd look. After awhile, the boy re – found his voice. "My name's Richard James Grayson, what's yours?" "Raven." The boy looked confused. "Where?" he asked. The two-year-old girl rolled her eyes. "That's my name." She said, "Raven Amanda Roth." The boy smiled. "That's a pretty name." Richard said. Raven blushed.
End Flashback
That was the day the two had met. They had been friends ever since. "Until now." Thought Raven to herself.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Raven reached over towards her table for the phone to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hey, Rae." Said Richard's voice. "Ah, Richard James Wayne Grayson, just the person I don't want to hear from." Raven coldly recited. Richard sighed. "Raven, why are you so upset about me kissing Kori?" Raven froze. How could she explain this to him?
"It's a girl thing." She said. Richard sighed again. "It's not like it matters, Kori dumped me anyway." Raven immediately felt sorry for her life – long friend. "Dick, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "It's not like it's your fault, Rae." He replied. "Hell, I don't care whose fault it is, get your puny ass over here!" With that Raven hung up on her best friend, and ran downstairs to wait for him, knowing full well Dick would waste no time getting over.

Raven gave Dick a huge hug. "Come on Dick, it's okay, you'll find another girl who's better for you." Raven coaxed. Dick, in all honesty, was being a baby. Raven was willing to bet he didn't cry when she had been so mad at him. "Come on, Dick I bet you didn't ven cry when I got mad at you. Dick looked at the woman who was holding him. "Do you want to know something, Raven Amanda?" he asked. Raven giggled. They were playfully using middle names now. "Yes, please inform me, Richard James." She answered playfully. "I cried harder."
A look of shock came over Raven's face. "Are you serious?" Dick nodded. "Rae, you're my best friend. When you got mad at me, I couldn't stand it. I thought you'd never talk to me again." Raven stared into the depths of his crystal blue eyes. "Dick, you don't know the half of it." She muttered so the man couldn't hear her.

"Mother!" cried Raven. She needed to ask her mother a question. Arella yelled that she was in the kitchen. Raven rushed in. "Mother, can Dick stay the night? Kori just dumped him, and he really needs me." Raven knew Arella was most likely to say no, but Dick needed her, so she had to try. She was scared for Dick. Arella turned from her cooking to face her daughter. "I don't think so." Was her simple reply. "Mother, please? I'm really scared what'll happen if I don't do this for him." Raven pleaded. Arella sighed. Her daughter was right; if Dick needed help, Raven would be the only one able to help him.
"Alright." Came Arella's new answer. Raven ran up to her mother and kissed her in the cheek. "Thanks, mum." She said, running back up the stairs. "You're welcome, sweetie."
Raven bolted through her door. "Get… your… stuff…" she panted to Dick. Said man walked up to Raven and hugged her tightly. "You're the best, Rae."
"So, how are things between you and BB?" "Well, I've always known that he's a big flirt, but I honestly think he likes that Tara Markov girl better that me." "So, you gonna break up with him?" "Well, most likely. I just don't think he's my type. Too… well, he tries to be funny too much."

Raven shivered. Dick noticed. "Cold?" he questioned. Raven nodded. "Very." At this Dick got up and grabbed a blanket for his best friend. He trudged back over to Raven and handed her the blanket. Raven mumbled a thanks as she wrapped the blanket around herself.
"Dick, I think we should get ready for bed." Raven whispered to Dick. Said person nodded. "Close your eyes while I change." Raven nodded and closed her eyes. She heard the rustle of clothing, signifying that Dick was striping.
"You can open your eyes now." Came Dick's voice. Raven let her eyes flutter open, and in front of her was something she would rather not have seen. Dick was standing in front of her, black hair a mess with nothing but his boxers on. Raven didn't like this. The guy she liked was standing in front of her with no shirt on. "Your turn." Dick said. Raven went over to her dresser and pulled out some pajama shorts and a sports bra. Without informing Dick, she opened the door and headed towards the bathroom.
Raven re – entered her room. Dick's head turned in the direction of the door. "You didn't tell me…" but he stopped when he saw Raven's state of dress. "Stop staring, Boy Blunder, you don't see me staring at your state of dress." Dick nodded, and patted the floor beside him where Raven had set up bedding for the both of them. She walked over to her lamp, turned it off, then lay down next to Dick.
Within seconds, both were asleep, minds wondering in the depths of dreamland.
