Rayvens point of view

As I sat staring out at the setting Chicago sun my mind wondered as to what I was doing here? I was sat on my best friend's bed running my hands through my raven black hair. After a couple of minutes sitting on my friends dark purple bed spread she walked back in her chestnut brown hair elegantly up in a messy bun. Her chocolate brown eyes stare at my split lip in concern. Her pale hands shaking as she hands me a glass of water.
"What's wrong Rae?" Lottie asks as she kneels between my legs looking at me her eyes show concern as does her voice.
"H-he hit me Lottie." I mutter through tears. I sob quietly as my friend now moves on to her bed and wraps her pale thin arms around my lanky figure.
"Who did Rayven?" She asks not releasing the clutch she has on my body.
"Jake." I say stifling sobs. The tears cascade down my face, my friend rubs my back reassuringly and mumbles profanities to try and make me smile.
"Hey Lottie ha-" A tall man I recognise as Lottie's brother asks as he bursts into the room. His chestnut hair is mess, his eyes show concern as he stares at me. I must be a sight, blood shot eyes, accompanied by running makeup, a split lip and an Arctic Monkeys shirt covered in blood.
"Rayven, what happened?" He asks looking between me and his twin. As I'm about to answer my phone rings and 'Sia- Alive' is blasted through the large bedroom. I grab my phone to see who it is and throw it at the wall in disgust. The picture on the screen shows me smiling with a slender male with blue hair and piercing blue eyes.
"Was that Jake?" Lottie whispers in my ear as Vinny walks over to my now smashed Iphone X. I just nod at the petite girl sat next to me, we both glance at Vinny his expression shows pure anger and he storms out of the room taking my cellular device with him.
We both frantically chasw after him. He opens the front door and marches towards his friends house and my boyfriends house. Charlotte and I are hot on his heels as he marches angrily up the path to his door.

Jake opens the door and Vinny pushes past the blue haired man and enters the house with me and Charlotte behind him.
"Rayven, babe let me get you some ice." Jake says with mock concern as he approaches me with his arms out to touch me.
"Don't touch her I mean it." Vinny says deathly calm Jake pretends to be hurt by the statement.
"Vinny let me get to my girlfriend! Can you see she's hurt." Jake says getting frustrated. I flinch against Vinny's shoulder and whimper a little.
"Did you hit Rayven?" Vinny asks now becoming frustrated raising his voice. Lottie laces her fingers with mine to show me shes still here with me.
"What? Of course not." Jake says sounding shocked however he death glares at me with his blue eyes and I feel like a deer caught in the lights of an oncoming bus.
"Jake we're over." I mutter under my breath recalling the endless times he's hit me or called me a horrible name. Another memory flashes through my head; I turn on my heel and run out.

Flashback. 2 months ago.
"Hey beautiful." Jake whispers in my ear I can tell what he wants but I have to get ready for meeting Charlotte.
"Jakey not now please I need to do my makeup." I whisper. Going back to applying the black eyeliner across my eyelid flicking it at the end. I feel his arms go around my waist his lips peppering kisses down my neck.
"Jake I said no." I say sternly. He ignores me. He garabs at my shirt and pulls it over my head he gropes at my breasts.
*End of flashback*

"Rae!" Vinny shouts running after me he grabs my arm and turns me around and stares at me.
