BELIEVE

Chapter 1

Raven's POV
"But l was just a kid back then the older l get the more that l see. My parents aren't heroes they're just like me and loving is hard. It don't always work"

Oh wow such a beautiful soul. Love you Sasha Sloan even though this world is against both of us. Just enjoy your music. You're the only one that understands me. Here enjoying this amazing masterpiece

Suddenly l feel little arms pushing me "Rav Rav Rav Rav l need your phone" l remove my ear pod and look down and only look straight into doe eyes. "I'm using it" l put back my ear pod. Thanks aunt Nina for these or else l wouldn't have survived this life and besides they are my company.  "Raaaaaaavvvvvvvvvv ppllleeeaaassseeee" He pouts while pushing me and whining " "Please please please please please please Ravvv can l please have your phone" What does he mean. l jus roll my eyes and keep listening to my girl.

Love her a lot!!!

lts just so beautiful to know that someone out there goes through what you're going through.lt just feels right and normal.

Ohh!! universe what did l do. I aggaaainn feel this time a huge arm push me roughly "What do you want"

I tell my so called handsome cool big bro, well of course he is cool and handsome but still I don't like him! All dressed up in grey sweatpants, a black Nike shirt, black skools, his sparkled blue eyes that he got from his mom.We got to meet her two years back. And his curly dark hair that we all got from dad except his and Jay's are a bit brown. Some of his curls were falling over his face and he looked really nice. His girlfriend must be very lucky but anyway l don't care l hate him!

I decide to look back at his face and anger was seen all over it. Suddenly he starts yelling "Can't you hear dad talking to you" He was too loud to the point that l heard him even with my ear pod and my lovely Sasha singing.

Aaaa!!! now that hurtful statement is he going to say this time. Oh well let's wait and see. I remove my ear puds " Yes dad" l answer him.

Well my dad is a guy in his early forties, dressed in a purple button up, black jeans, a gold cool watch wonder when he bought that but anyway it's none of my business, he had some black flats on and for one fact, dad is good at fashion. Wait! Did dad trim off his moustache and beard ohhh! that's why he looks different but why did he?

Hmmm it's his choice still observing dad's face small nose chocolate lips.

Not realizing that he was talking and to..........

ME!!!!

Oh am dead!!!

"Can't you hear me, what are you looking at? But what even happened to you child! l don't even think you're from our family, Your brother is asking you for the phone that l bought you but you can't give him, try at least to learn from Russ please, love your brother" He then jeers.

Ouch!!!

Then another normal day to me, asking myself why in the world l was born. Does it really always have to be "ME".

All of my life, l've tried being that "girl" to be thankful for.

Yes! l'm the only girl and you know have to be treated in a special way but that's not in my life.

Everyone blurts out anything they want not knowing that we all have feelings. All my life, l really never cared about all this stuff but not until l turned 15, everything changed l got to realize a lot in my life

Well l'm an overthinker and l know. Stuff have happened in my life.
My dad doesn't treat me fairly like my brothers.

He wants another daughter and he's fighting hard and l hope you understand when l say he's fighting hard.

Yes he still provides basic needs a person deserves but not for a teenager a broken teenager who just needs love and attention for once but not showing them that they're a burden in your life, you would have just damped them on the street if you never wanted them and shit!! I feel some liquid stuff roll over my face and l'm now crying

Dang it!!

Nobody should see this l quickly clean my face.

"Here have the phone" l hand him the phone and l quickly look outside the window in order to get some fresh air and relax.

"Rav why are you crying, do you still wanna stay in Utah, don't worry l think California is a nice place" l look at the poor thing look at me with concerned cute doe eyes.
To be honest but l kinda like him.

I just node and give him a sheepish smile as l look at Russ and dad laugh at something on Russ' phone and the driver was minding his own business or lost in his thoughts.

Now in this new city of California l hope things get fine, meet new people maybe get friends cause l'm friendless but l'm not a nerd l'm just anti-social and an introvert.

l may maybe meet true love ........... this time!!

l sigh after the so many thoughts that were running over my mind and all of a sudden darkness takes over me.
