Darling P.O.V
"Darling!"I heard a knock on my door.
"Darling open up its me Dexter!"

I was silent.

"I'll bust the door open myself! I'm NOT kidding. I will bust that door wit-"

I slowly opened the door and laid back in bed.

"You know she was my niece too bu-"

"How do we even know he's the father..."

"Why would you say that?"

I looked out the window as my mind wandered. What if Daring isn't the father I mean it's a possibility. Apple doesn't remember anything from that night. And she would never willingly sleep with Daring. I know her.

"He's the father...."

"How do you know"

"He....he told me."

"HE WHAT?! AND YOU DIDNT SAY ANYTHING?! WHAT THE HELL DEXTER?!"

"I'm sorry ok! I didn't want to say anything because-"

"Because what?! Your OK with it!!"

"He told me a different story!!"

"What?"I glared.

"He told me that Apple seduced him."

"So that gives him the right to rape her?!"

"I'm not saying sh*t darling! I'm just repeating what daring told me! What's so wrong about that?"

"Nothing but it sounds like your ok with OUR brother raping our future sister-in-law "

"I'm not! You know he's manipulative"

"Whatever just believe what you want to believe." I sighed."When's the viewing?"

"2 days"

"Oh"I looked down feeling horrible about the whole situation, Aria is dead.
When Raven told me it hit me hard very very hard. I'll never forget about this. Who could've done such a thing, and then with the Justine situation, I vowed to myself that I would find out who the real father is.

Dexter held me tightly in his arms. I didn't want him to let go I just needed a hug I needed to know everything was going to be alright.

"I'm sorry, just try to calm down"

I nodded as I hugged him back. This time I wouldn't let go.

                    Raven P.O.V
"Viewings in 2 days"I grabbed a cup of tea and put some sugar inside then handed it to Apple. She could finally talk but was still paralyzed, and in the hospital.

Apple didn't say anything but instead glared at me.

"Do you need anything?"

She shook her head and looked the opposite direction. How could she be acting so mean to me after I swore to keep all this a secret and come visit her in the hospital instead of studying for midterms.

"Raven"she finally said. "I want to die...that's all I ask in this world. You can kill me I don't mind I would be grateful, or...I could do the work myself"

I stared at her in disbelief. Would she really kill herself? I can't let her. She's way too young to just...leave.

"Why would you want to die?"I asked still shocked and in denial.

"Isn't it obvious? I have nothing to live for anymore. My daughter is dead, I was raped, my mom never pays attention to me, no one loves me or cares about me, and I have no friends. So it's really meaningless that I'm alive."

"Apple...you do have people that care about you! You have me! And Dexter, Darling, Briar, and...Duchess."

"That's only because their family, your my roommate and I'm not so sure if duchess is even my friend anymore"

"Oh?"

"Just forget it Raven. It's my destiny...to die"she said without emotion.

"It's everyone's, but it's not your destiny or anyone's to commit suicide"

"Like if you knew anything about our destinies..."she mumbled.

"What?"

"LIKE IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT OUR DESTINIES!!!!"she yelled with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"What do you mean by that"

"WAS IT MY DESTINY TO NOT BE LOVED WAS IT MY DESTINY TO BE HATED WAS IT MY DESTINY TO GET RAPED WAS IT MY DESTINY FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DIE?!! SO SHUT THE HELL UP RAVEN CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW SH*T ABOUT DESTINY!!!!"she yelled at me through tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I...I honestly don't know what to say.."

"Exactly"

"But I do know that none of it was your fault."

"Get out..."

"Wh-"

"GET OUT!!!!"

And with that I left the room and took the sticker with my name and date on it and threw it in the trash with anger.

What did I ever do to her? I could have been in my dorm studying for my midterm exams but being the good friend I am I wasted my time and decided to visit Apple, who is still being hospitalized. I even had to cover up why she hasn't shown up to school just so the headmaster won't find out.

She'll be lucky if I don't snitch on her.

I got in my car and drove back to the school and went to my dorm room. It felt so empty and isolated without her. Maddie comes and checks up on me throughout the day which is really sweet of her but I just don't feel like seeing anyone.

I heard a knock on the door.

When I opened it no one was there. I looked down to find a box I read the card left on it and it said:

To:Raven
I left some leftover tea bags and pastries from my dad's tea shop. Since you haven't gone grocery shopping in a while.

~with lots of love
Maddie <3

I opened the box to find a wide variety of pastries and different types of tea bags on the side. It look GOOD.

I took the big turquoise box inside and put it on the counter. I grabbed a croissant and made myself a cup of coffee.

Then I heard another knock on the door. I opened it and saw someone I never wanted to see again...

Daring

It's literally 2:15 a.m right now and I'm updating I feel like this chapter was a bit shorter than my other chapters so I apologize for that if you feel that way too. So I think I'm just going to finish watching 'The Pursuit of Happiness' starring Will Smith. It's REALLY good and has such a great message. I recommend 100%. Well Goodnight my lovelies ;D
