Chapter 16 How dare you

Raven made her way angrily over to her uncles house. The rage blared at her and right now she wished she had a punching bag or someone to punch. She wasn't angry at Randy for saying what he said, many men had asked for a chance with her, he wasn't the first nor Raven believed he would be the last. No she was angry at herself because she badly wanted to say yes to him. There was something in Randy's eyes that got her. Sincerity, security and the need of wanting to help. She badly wanted to give him a chance but she wasn't sure she could let herself do that, not after last time. Angrily she pounded on the door, the wood taking some of her rage.

"Open this damn door Hunter!" Raven yelled pounding again. At last he opened it just as she was about to pound again.

"What?"

"How dare you!"

"How dare I what?"

Raven pushed her way inside, still not calming down "How dare you tell that man I was broken!"

"What was I meant to tell him?" Hunter looked at her confused.

Raven threw her hands in frustration "You could of gone with the over protective uncle routine, he would of backed off instantly. You and I both know that!"

"What happened? Oh God did he touch you?"

Raven let out an annoyed sigh "No but now he thinks that he can fix me when you and I both know I am broken beyond repair"

"Maybe your not that broken" Hunter suggested quickly he flinched expecting her to hit him. Raven just stared holes through him.

"I am not willing to let another man have there chance with me, not after Chase"

"Raven maybe you need to let someone in" Hunter said softly "Or else your going to be hurting forever"

Raven just closed her eyes annoyed "The only thing I need is to go to sleep and to never wake up"

"Whats that?" Hunter suddenly noticed the bruise on her ribcage.

"Its a bruise you idiot" Raven snapped, she was still angry that she was actually considering saying yes to Randy.

"Yeah I can see that, who gave you that bruise?"

"I did. I was trying to puncture my lungs"

Hunter just looked at her clearly not believing her "Raven tell me the truth"

"I am" Raven went to the front door "The next time someone asks you about me and you decide to tell them that I'm broken, don't"

Randy's POV

Raven came back about fifteen mintues later, her face flushed red. Whoever she went to yell at I felt a little sorry for.

"Raven? Can we talk?"

She shook her head, loose silver curls falling everywhere "I don't wanna talk about it Randy"

"Please?"

She let out a pain filled sigh "Please just forget it and move on."

"I don't wanna forget it and I can you don't either"

"Randy I am a heavily broken woman that no longer wants anything except to be left alone. So please for the last time just leave me be"

"No" I said before stalking my way upstairs. I felt like I needed her more than I needed anyone in my entire life but more to the point I felt like she needed me and it was always nice to be needed. Sitting down on the bed I looked at my calendar, sadly I only had two more days to convince her to take a chance with me. One way or another I would do it even if it killed me.
