The Unkindness Of Raven

The Unkindness Of Raven|28

TWENTY-SEVEN |RAVEN

             A PORTRAIT  of a beach was sprawled on each wall, each depicting beautiful scenery: rolling waves on idyllic sand. Across from me was a tiny black wooden coffee table holding health magazines. Underneath it was a dull grey carpet that covered the whole room. A television hung in one corner displaying boring commercials. I was too anxious to read any of the magazines or watch TV, so I just tapped my foot impatiently, my eyes never leaving the door.  

    "What the Banana is taking so long?" Raven snap as she taps her heel impatiently. She ignored the amused stares of Sebastian's parents not giving a damn if they like her not. She never really give a damn. Ryan was seated on her left, while Daria seated on her right. Lionel and his parents were busy questioning him about his bruises and Lennox and his entourage were all waiting to find out if Sebastian was doing okay. 

         "Fiona!" Daria spurts up to embrace a  girl with box braid, dress in rip black jeans, Grey Tank top and one of Lennox's Signature Jacket. "Please tell me it's not the bike," She heard the girl question as she embraces Daria. Raven shift her gaze to Mario who came rounding the corner with a woman behind him dress in peach colored dress shorts and matching colored blouse with the word 'The world best Moms makes Pies'. 

   "Raven?!" Mario called out. "I'm fine, I just need to know what the fuck is going on. Does it take that long to patch up a broken arm?" She snaps. 

      "What happen?" he asked.

"We went to pick up Daria and some asshole who seems to be high on coke or something smash into us." She told him as the woman staring at her wide-eyed. "Did you get the license plate?" he asked.

"It didn't have one, but it had an Eddington High parking sticker on the bumper." Daria blurted as Raven pulled out a book out of her back as she skips through the papers and hands it Mario.

"And did you give the police this information," The woman beside him asked.

"I'm guessing she doesn't live around her." Raven roll her eyes.

"Did you see who was driving?" Mario asked.

"It looks like a dude, right now I just want to know if Sebastian loses his arm or something," she snaps as she got up and heads towards the receptionist that she swears was pretty annoyed with her. "Maam I sorry but I haven't received any new information, can you please wait patiently like the rest of your friends," She stated in annoyance.

 Raven frown slightly before decided to go and get something at the vending machine. 

              Raven hates the hospitals it gives her the creeps and it makes her nauseous. Just as she turned the corner she saw Lennox leaning on the wall as a girl about her size, cozying up to one of the doctors. She recognized him a few times, who was avoiding to talk to her whenever she came to the receptionist. She watches as she circled her hand around his neck as he did the same around her waist causing her to tip on her toe to kiss but he pulled away and eye Lennox, causing the girl to pull his face towards her and kiss him.

      Lennox looks in her direction as she walked towards them heading towards the coffee machine. Just as she slips the coins into Nescafe machine she selects French Vanilla and waited on it filled up. "Hey, Princess, How you doing?" Lennox asked.

    "This place creeps the shit out of me, I want to go home or somewhere it doesn't reek of drugs and medicine," Raven mumbled as she picks up the cup of coffee. 

"Yeah, this place is shit," he shrugged his shoulder as the girl walks over to them. 

         "Wyatt said Sibs, Is doing okay he's just not responding to the last dose of morphine they gave him to deal with the pain. So he's going off like a baby in there." The girl with box braid said. Her Jeans were tight against her body, her navel ring was visible beneath the vest top she wore.
