"What's the matter?" She spoke in a mocking, slightly bitter tone. "Don't you think I look pretty like this?"
You sighed deeply. "I think, Raven, that you expect the worst from me."
She frowned. "What?"
You smiled at her slightly, moving closer as you continued to speak. "In actual fact, I think that you are beautiful, beautiful in any form that you take. It hardly matters to me what you look like, Raven."
She looked like she wanted to speak but you cut her off before she could. "In truth, I'm rather hurt that you would think such a thing of me, that you would judge me before even thinking of giving me the chance to decide for myself, to prove myself to you."
She looked entirely shocked. "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry Raven." You spoke bitterly. "I won't be with you if you are going to continue to take your anger out on me. I love you, but there's only so much even I can take."
There was a long silence after that. As you turned to leave Raven finally broke it. "I love you." Was her reply to your previous comments.
"What?" You asked as you turned almost in disbelief.
"I love you." She repeated, sure of herself now.
That was the first time she had ever said that to you.
