Ravens

Me, crazy?...naa

Through out that day I hung out with Zach and the girl who I found out was his girlfriend Molly, they are super cute together.
   You see, Zach moved the year after we met to Seattle, I found out he just moved back and he and Molly have had a long distance relationship for the past 3 months, they met when she came over to Seattle to see her aunt who happened to be close friends with his family, so her aunt was practically their wing woman and after 2 weeks they were an item.
    Well after catching up at the central park I went home with a literal smile on my face, people sure do change. I walked into the house and the first thing I saw was my dad slapping my mum across the face. Since when did dad hit mum? I asked myself as I stood there face back to its blank state.
    " You are a shameless manwhore Richard! You are ruining this family because you can't resist showing your damn money to whores, you-"
   " Shut up I told you already, stop it"
   " I hate you!", Mum sneered at him. This entire time, I had been sneaking up behind him as he was about to lunge at her, I wrapped my arm around his neck using two fingers to apply pressure on a nerve on his neck and almost immediately he dropped unconscious to the ground, I stared blankly at him.
     "Raven", mum choked out just as she burst into tears, I stood there face stoic just watching her still trying to understand what the fudge just happened, her eyes  were bloodshot meaning she'd had a lot to drink.
     I knelt in front of her and pushed her hair behind her ear.             "He has never hit me before", she sobbed as she hugged me to herself I sighed.
   " Mum we'll talk about this later but you have to relax, do you want me to place dad in your room or just leave him on the couch?", Her eyes softened as she heard dad she smiled a little.
   "I'll help you take him to the room but he'll be mad if I stay with him so I'll rest on the couch"
    " No stay in my room I'll just get right to my homework in the library"
   We took dad upstairs and mum fell asleep while I watched her relax, I've always wondered what she did to deserve to be treated so badly by a man who she loves so truly and purely, I sighed and left the room and headed to the attic.
     Even though I can't really stop mum from drinking doesn't mean I don't control it. I always keep 3 bottles of wine in the bar and I fill her flask with weak white wine, so she has to reduce her alcohol intake per day so that it can last two weeks before I refill. That doesn't mean that she doesn't try to buy more alcohol but when she does I just lock it in the attic which has an inbuilt wine cellar, she must have gotten in and true to my suspicion it was  open, I must have forgotten to lock it last night after refilling .
      " Poop", I cursed under my breath as I locked the door, i did my homework and sat outside on the patio waiting for Tyson to come back, if he wasn't back by 7:30, I was going to go looking for him, I stood up and paced around the patio as I cleaned my small dagger.
       My mum gave me a self-defense kit when I turned twelve after Tyson snapped after I destroyed his stach and also to chase of the perverts, I also had self defense classes, I'm not strong but I am quick and light on my feet, it sure helps.
     I was seriously getting worried about Tyson and just as I was about to head out to look for him he pulled up into the driveway and walked past me bumping my shoulder pretty hard and I could smell the smoke still heavy on his breath, I sighed and walked in after him making dinner for both of us and once I was done I placed his plate in front of his door and left to check on dad and sure enough he was out, probably with a slut, again.

    The next day I was absolutely exhausted, for some reason I couldn't sleep, it felt like something big was going to happen. I was wearing a pair of bright blue jeans a grey t-shirt and a blue beanie, tucking away most of my hair.
      After 3rd period I was walking to my locker completely exhausted when I bumped into someone, I groaned as I rubbed my forehead.
    " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to b-",  the remainder of my apology died in my throat as I saw Cassies' sneering face, you've gotta be kidding me.
     " Watch where you're going you beat, or did your face lift blind you"
     "Cassandra now isn't the time_"
       " don't you fucking call my name you doll, you don't even-" just then two strong arms pulled me to a warm hard chest and before my tired brain could turn around he spoke.
    " What do you have against my   girlfriend?", His voice was so nice and in that moment I felt time slow down; my eyes fluttered shut as I relaxed until I registered what he just said. Girlfriend?
     I spun around and looked up at him, big mistake he was absolutely gorgeous with a chiseled face slight stubble and watm brown eyes  then my eyes fell to his lips that were tilted up in a smirk, I snapped out of it and I whisper yelled at him.
       " Are you crazy?!"
       " Me crazy?...naa"
        " Who the hell are you?"
        " I firecracker am your very own sane boyfriend".
