I walk up to two graves and squat down. Each say my parents names and time of births and deaths. I lay a flower on both of them.
"I'm gonna make you guys proud..I'm gonna be the great musician you wanted me to be..I promise." I say, tears forming i...
I want to tell Nate I love him, but I can't. Why does it have to be so hard? I'm not worried about Morgan, I'm worried that he'll reject my feelings. That's always the problem in this kind of stuff.
*Beep Beep*
My phone goes off. It's a message from Rebekah.
"Call me, asap."
After I read that I immediately press the call button.
*Ring Ring*
"Raven?"
"Hey it's me, what's up? Is something wrong?"
"Okay so, I don't know if it's good or bad to you, but you know how you never bothered to confront your parents murderer because you were busy and you were afraid you would get yourself arrested if you saw him? So you don't even know his name." She asks.
"Yeah..?"
"Well I got some information. But just to see if my theory is correct, what's your moms maiden name?"
"Soren."
"Oh god. Raven put me on face time and let me get Arianna here. We've been working on this for two weeks."
"Uh okay, I'll screen mirror face time on my TV. Give me a minute." I hang up and go straight to my living room. I set up screen mirroring from my phone to my TV and face time Rebekah.

"Hey," She answers.
"Can you please tell me what's going on now?" I ask.
"Yes, but you have to sit down for this," Arianna says as she sits next to Rebekah. I sit down on one of my couches.
"Okay. His name is Robert Soren, He's 46 years old." My eyes widen.
"W-Why does he have my mom's last name?" I ask. They look at each other. Arianna sighs.
"Because he's your moms brother." She says.
"W-What?!" I say in shock.
"Why would he kill her?! Why didn't she tell me she had a brother?!" I yell. Rebekah and Arianna try to be as calm as they can.
"The detective working on the case told us what he confessed; said that, that night, he came over already angry. He hated your father and he had found out you were alive long after you were born. Apparently, he got in a car accident and he ended up getting PTSD. Your mom was too afraid to tell him about you cause she lost trust in him after he abused her. He went over there and your parents tried talking to him but.. you know how that ended" Rebekah explained, a frown on her face.
"I.. can't.. believe this. I had a crazy uncle and he killed my parents." I say.
"We are so sorry, Raven. We wish we were there to comfort you. Sadly, we have to work. We love you, always."
"Okay.. love you guys too. Bye." I choke.
"Bye." They say in unison before I hang up. I sit there trying to process everything I just learned. Once it hit me I run straight to my room, lock the door and sit on my bed crying. After a while of crying, I go to my bathroom and go to one of the drawers. I find my razor and look at it.
'You need to relieve the pain, there's no point in living' I thought.
I make a few lines on each wrist and stop. There was blood running down my arm. I plop back on my bed and cry more.
*Amanda's Pov*
Matt just got home for work and I just put the baby down for a nap. We sit on the couch and watch some shows.
"Have you talked to Raven?" Matt asks me.
"Not today, I'm trying to figure out how to get her and Nate together." I answer.
"As cute of a couple they would be, you can't push it Amanda." He tells me.
"I know, but she seems so lonely, I don't want her to be alone for the rest of her life. If she doesn't get a man she will never have children." I explain.
"I understand, but there's nothing we can do."
"We can talk to Nate." I suggest.
"Hm.. I guess its worth a shot." With that answer, I call Nate over.
~Time Skip~
Nate arrives and I sit him on the couch. Matt and I sit on each side of him.
"So why did you call me over?" He asks.
"We want to talk to you about something important." I say.
"And that is?" He asks.
"Raven." Matt says plainly.
"Yeah, that sounds right." He chuckles.
"Nate, do you like her?" I ask him.
"Depends what you mean by like." He says, not making eye contact.
"You know what we're talking about." Matt says nudging him. Classic Matthias.
"Haha, well I mean.. It's complicated." He says hesitating.
"Nate, yes or no?" I ask.
"... Yes, I do like her." I smile.
"That was easy." Matt says.
"You need to tell her that." I say.
"But I can't just leave Morgan-" He starts.
"Yes you can. If you love Raven more then you have a right to break up with Morgan." I cut him off, he sighs.
