Day 1;
I laid in bed just staring at the wall, hoping that it all was a very bad dream. Closing my eyes I fall back asleep. Lay in bed all day not moving, just staring blankly at the walls. Forever hoping that time would freeze.
Day 16;
Malcolm's POV
I sighed as I watched Raven sleep away, it's been days since the incident with Stephen, neither one has reached out to each other. She's becoming more depressed each passing day, won't eat, or move. She just slays in bed staring at the walls or watching Netflix.
Day 28th;
Almost a month since Raven has been home. She turned into a statute. She only smokes, drinks, eats and stares at the wall.
Day 32nd;
Raven's POV
I watched from the window as my family left to
go to a pack meeting with a neighboring pack. Sighing, I walk towards my bathroom to shower, even though I have no energy. I still need a shower, looking at my legs I need to shave my legs and underarms, searching through my bathroom drawers I found three razors, grabbing one I started my shower. After washing my hair and body, I shaved a much needed shave in all places. Staring at the shower wall I gripped onto the razor so hard that my wolf strength broke it, looking at the broken pieces, I reached for a blade. Turning the blade in my hand I brought the blade to my thigh, before I dragged it across my skin, feeling my blood run down my leg, I smiled for the first time in a month. Feeling no pain, I did it again, and again for a third and fourth time. But due to me being a shapeshifter, I healed quickly. Wishing my heart could do the same.
Stephen's POV
I sighed as I laid in bed scrolling through Twitter when my door burst open and there stood my grandfather,
"You need to get up and go get your girl Stephen!" He said as he started to throw clothes at me, I groaned and said,
"Why? We both know she doesn't care about any of this! Hell! For all I care she could die and I wouldn't even cry!" 'Okay now your lying to yourself Stephen' I thought as grandfather groaned,
"Look, I've been in your position, okay? You think your grandmama loved me at first? No, she didn't. I was a player, like you. But it took me losing her in the beginning to realize that. This is your chance to make it right my boy!" I groaned and nodded my head,
"Okay, say I do this. What do I say! What do I do for her to forgive me?" I asked him as I stood up and walked towards my bathroom,
"You say what your heart says. That's simple my boy." He said before leaving my clueless, what? I thought to myself as I showered.
After eating and getting dressed, I finally walked downstairs and headed into the throne room where I was met with an angry family of wolves,
"King William, all I'm asking is that you let us talk to him! My baby girl is broken!" Cried Mrs. Mastermourn as I walked into the room, accidentally slamming the door closed, everyone turned towards and,
"You son of a bitch!" Yelled one of her brothers and he tried to charge at me but was held back by his brother,
"Desmond! That's enough!" Snapped the guy holding Desmond, grandfather sighed and said,
"I was expecting this to happen sooner or later." Grandmama laughed and then said this,
"Darling, come on now. We've been through this before." She sighed as she stood up, her long grey hair following her,
"You will take him to your house, where he will go to her room, apologizing to her profusely until she accepts his apology. When speaking to her, give her this." She then handed me a book, the exact book I had ripped up the night raven spent here. Nodding my head, i said,
"Yes grandma." She smiled and said,
"Go before something drastic happens." And off we went, with three glaring eyes staring at me as I got into the back of their car.
After making a few stops we arrived at their house where the smell of freshly baked lasagna, garlic bread and a dessert whiffed through the air, we walked through the door where we was met with Raven wearing a lavender off the shoulders lace dress, white heels and holding a bowl of salad,
"Bout time you guys got home." She said as she sat the bowl down on the table, her back facing us,
"Raven." Elijah simply said, she turned around and her eyes immediately fall on me, causing her smile to go away,
"What's he doing here?" She asked as her voice was as cold as a winter's breeze, her father stepped towards her, causing her to step back,
"We never went to a pack meeting, Raven. We went and saw Queen Mary and King William." She looked heartbroken,
"You, you what?" She said as her voice was shaky, she turned to walk away, but I said,
"Why do you run away from your problems all the time? You never face them!" She stopped and slowly turned towards me,
"I would never have to run away from this if you didn't have sex with another girl!" She shouted at me, chuckling I nodded my head and said,
"Your right. All this is my fault, right?" She nodded her head softly,
"Well guess what baby girl. It's your fault too." Her head shot up like a bullet going from a gun,
"It's my fault? How in the hell is it my fault?" She questioned as she stalked towards me, pointing a finger at my chest and poking me with it,
"You mister! Promise me that you would have been here for Bella's birthday, I texted you, multiple times, no response, except for I'm so sorry I forgot! I left here early because I was going to surprise you! But upon arriving I walk in on you fucking another girl! Do you know how that felt? I was fucking destroyed from it! I couldn't get the sight out of my fucking head Stephen!" She ranged on and on, but I finally threw down the flowers I was holding and stopped her ranting with a kiss. As I pulled her into the kiss, she tried to back away, but eventually kissed me back, pulling away I said,
"I get it. I fucked up. But please, let me make it up to you! Please!" She smirked and said,
"Pick those flowers up and ask me again." Her mother chuckled and smiled, I totally forgotten they were still here, walking towards the flowers, I picked them up and held them up to her,
"Will you, Ms. Raven Ember Mastermourn, my one day to be wife, accept my apology for fucking up and give me another chance?" I heard her family laugh, but that didn't matter right now, shaking her head, Raven spoke,
"Only if you take me out on dates, get to know me more. Make cheesy pick up lines, quote my favorite books, the list goes on and on." Nodding my head fast I said,
"I will do anything to earn your trust back." She smirked and said,
"Anything?" I smiled and said,
"Anything." She laughed and said,
"Okay." And that's when I knew I shouldn't have said that.
