We Heal Each Other

15

When I got to the Hollyhock House I saw Rayven with his guitar strapped to his back and a black bag. I slipped my keys into my backpack and walked toward Rayven. He smiled when he saw me. He dropped his bag and put his hands on my face. He strokes my face and looked at me softly.

"That's a hell of an outfit, Ms. Johnson." He smiled, putting his forehead to mine.

I chuckled softly. "Thanks."

Rayven picked up his bag and he interlocked his fingers with mine. He lead me to the fountains and we sat down. He opened his bag. He takes out his pick and music books. 

"What are we doing?" I asked, putting my backpack on the bench by me.

"I'm teaching you how to play guitar." He said seriously, grabbing his guitar.

"Really?"

Rayven smiled then laughed. "Yeah. I'll be having you write a song in no time."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Rayven chuckled.

Rayven sat closer to me and he showed me the different types of chords. I couldn't really focus because I was looking at his beautiful doe eyes and his perfectly toned, tanned body.

"So, now that we know the chords we're ready to—" Rayven pauses. "What?" He smiled.

I looked at Rayven. He's been teaching me something I've always wanted to learn. Can he be any more mesmerizing?

"Nothing. Thank you...thank you Rayven for teaching me something I've been dying to learn for years." I said emotionally.

Rayven looked at me for a moment and put his guitar and bag on the ground. He grabbed me and kissed me softly. He laid me down on the bench and I giggled. He kissed my neck and then back to my lips. Rayven sat me back up.

He interlocked his fingers with mine. "Anything for you, Baby."

I smiled at him. I stood up and grabbed Rayven's guitar and noticed initials on the guitar that were marked off. C+R. I started to strum the chords and Rayven looked at me impressed. I put Rayven's guitar down. Rayven stood up and wrapped his arms around me. 

I suddenly see a person in a distance walking around. They come closer and as soon as I the platinum blonde mohawk hairstyle, thick eyebrows, and those blue eyes, it looks like red to me. I grasped onto Rayven's shoulder tightly.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Aurora Johnson. We meet again." He said maliciously.

Rayven turned around and looked at me then at HIM. I grabbed onto Rayven tighter. Rayven looked at how uncomfortable I am.

"Who are you?" Rayven said, sternly.

"Her ex-boyfriend." He said, proudly.

Rayven looks disgusted.

"What do you want Edwin? Because whatever it is I'M not interested!" I exclaimed.

"Aurora, I just want you back," Edwin said, a devilish smirk plastered across his face.

"Never! You tore me apart. You betrayed me. You ABUSED me, emotionally and physically. Not to mention I found you on top of her. You'll never have me back!"

Rayven gasped loudly. Rayven stood in front of me. I gasped in surprise. I grasped onto Rayven's shoulders.

"Get away, Edwin, or whatever your name is. Your presence is not wanted. As long as I'm here, you will not abuse my girl ever again." Rayven said, angrily.

Edwin looked at me and he arched his eyebrow. Rayven held me as he protected me.

"See you around, Ms. Johnson." He said in a devilish tone.

When Edwin left I bursted into tears. I couldn't hold them in any longer. I didn't need these reminders of his betrayal. Rayven wrapped his arms around me. I buried my face into his chest.

"Let's get some ice cream or something," Rayven suggested.

I nodded.

We packed up our stuff and head to Rayven's car. Rayven had his arm around me. When we got to his fancy-ass car, Rayven dumped his stuff in the trunk and he opened the door for me.

"Thanks, Rayv." I said, sniffiling.

He went around and got in. He looked at me emotionally. 

"Are you okay?" He asked, starting to drive.

"No—yes—I don't know," I said.

"Well, let's indulge in ice cream and talk," Rayven said with soft eyes.
