Alexander's Dorm:

Alexander's POV:

I don't know what got to me, why did I act like that? I love Hayley but her flirting with Mason really triggered me. I wish I realized that I liked Hayley earlier, before people used to bully me and cheat on me because I was so "soft". Why did I threaten her? It's not like me at all to threaten or hit someone especially with my powers. I think I might need to go to the apartment to apologize at least.

While at Hayley and Raven's Apartment:

Raven's POV:

I am worried about Hayley, she has been my friend for a long time for me to know when she isn't alright or she is hiding something. I tried to think about something else but I guess thinking about anything just really hurts, sometimes I wish I could think about nothing.
"Hey, Raven?" Mason came out of nowhere saying. "Yeah?" I said.
"Its been two years and I didn't ask you this because I respect your privacy. But I think it's time, Why is your room always locked and you don't like anyone to enter it?" Mason asked out of curiosity. I wish he didn't bring that up right now.
" I love you for respecting my privacy Mason, but I wish you didn't ask me this right now. I don't really want to think about it." I said as teardrops fell from my eyes.
"Hey, I just want to let you know that I'm always here for you." Mason said.
Mason left after patting my shoulder.

Mason's POV:

I'm really worried about Raven and Hayley, I don't think I have ever seen Raven cry before. I knew Raven was a closed book, but I always thought of her as a strong person. Maybe it has something to do with Hayley but she seemed clueless when Hayley entered the apartment.

"Man, this place is kind of depressing," Kevin said laughing.

"I think it's time you approached Raven as a friend, Kevin." I said.

"Man, we talked about this, there has to be a reason," Kevin said.

"She's crying in the balcony," I said thinking I might regret it later.

"Raven? you are kidding me Raven doesn't cry" Kevin said confused.

"Go see yourself," I said.

Kevin left and I went to Hayley's room to check up on her.

Hayley's room:

Hayley POV:

Why didn't I stand up for myself? I love Alexander with all my heart, I never thought of him hurting me physically nor mentally. Maybe something was going on with him today, I should've asked him, maybe I should text him? I really don't know what to do anymore. But I know for a fact that Raven will figure it out because she knows me too well. I should protect Alexander at any cost, I just hope it was something that was going on and that isn't his true face or something. I was thinking too much, I kept walking in circles in my room to the point I tripped but that is when Mason caught me.
"Hey you, we don't need more injures than the ones you already have right now. Be careful, please" Mason said smiling.
" Thank you, I heard that you are the one who carried me to the room. I guess you are always there at the right time." I said smiling getting lost in his lustrous eyes.
I never thought of Mason in this way, he always seemed to me like a good friend and nothing more, but now I guess I feel attracted to him. Fuck, Alexander was right. I was trying to flirt with Mason, but it also didn't deserve almost killing me. I was staring in Mason's sparkling black eyes, that's when I saw Alexander behind him.
" Oh hey babe," I said went in for a hug.
"Buddy, where have you been? We have been looking for you everywhere. " Mason said.
" Sorry I had some homework I had to do before coming here," Alexander said.
" Okay man, don't forget the match starts after half an hour, I will be outside in the living room. " Mason said as he left the room.
Alexander closed the door with the lock, I got scared. What if he hits me again?
" Seriously Hayley? I came here to apologize but you don't deserve it. Even after all the beatings, you chose to continue to piss me off. This isn't over. Remember my words." Alexander said angrily. Alexander unlocked the door and left me alone. So this wasn't something that pissed him off today, this is his true face. God, why do I always end up with the worst people in this planet? I thought while throwing myself on the bed.

Balcony:

" Hey, there shawty. " Kevin said entering the balcony.

" Kevin? really "shawty". I really can't handle your stupidity right now, you might as well just leave." Raven said wiping her tears.

" I'm sorry, If I always seemed rude to you. I really didn't mean it, I don't know what lead me to be rude to you. I am here for you Raven." Kevin said nicely.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Raven said puzzled.

"I'm serious. I never meant for you to hate me." Kevin said trying to explain.

"Why are you here, Kevin?" Raven said.

"To tell you that I'm here for you. I want to be your friend, a person that you like." Kevin said.

" We can try, but for now I want to be alone." Raven said looking down.

" You're hurt, a deep one. Who hurt you, princess?" Kevin said.

"Don't use your powers on me, please," Raven said.

"Only if you say so, princess. But if one day you want to erase that memory you can count on me." Kevin said touching Raven's hand.

"I'm tired, tell everyone I went to bed. " Raven said as she removes her hand from Kevin's hand.

Raven went to her room and locked the door and Kevin went to watch the match with Alexander and Mason.

Couple of hours later;

Hayley's Room:

Hayley's POV:

I was trying to fall asleep when I felt Alexander laying beside me. I pretended to be asleep because if there was beating coming, It would at least be tomorrow where I can escape him.
Alexander started playing with my hair and saying
"I am sorry, baby girl.I didn't mean to hurt you but you hurt me and I have already been hurt enough in the past."
What does he mean by being hurt enough in the past? I stayed up for hours wondering, but eventually, I fell asleep.

Raven's Room:

Raven's POV:

What is worse than crying yourself to sleep because of someone who doesn't even care as much you do? I hate toxic people, they are really the ones who leave scars on a person. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and change my past but I guess my ancestors know me too well to not give me such power.

You might ask yourself, toxic people? What is Raven talking about? That is a story that will be told later.
