Ryder's P.O.V.

A feeling of guilt crept inside me.

"Do you both know, they hurts Raven sho much" She said spreading her arms.

"It hurts" she pouted with tears in her eyes.

"We are sorry, Rav, we are really sorry" Ryan told her seriously. He is feeling so much guilty. His eyes can show you how much pain he is holding with him.

Rav stared at him for a second.

"D-Don't worry Ry, I am not angry" She smiled at him, showing her dimples.

She is freaking so cute.

"Why are you so forgiving, Rav ?" He whispered but everyone heard it clearly.

She gasped, suddenly.

"I swear, I am not angry, you can take my candy, if you didn't believe me" She told him seriously, taking out lollipop from her mouth.

My lollipop.

Ryan chuckled.

"No, No, I believe you"

While, I looked at her amusingly.

Suddenly, her head snapped towards me. She glared at me, trying to look intimidate to me.

"Heyy Dumbo, shouldn't you ask for forgiveness, hmm ?" She ordered me.

What. The. Actual. Heck ?

She ordered me ? Ryder Denmark ?

"Ohh Yes Mr. Dumbo Denmark, I am ordering you" She smirked at me, keeping her hands on her hip.

I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Don't look at me like that, you should ask for forgiveness for ouchies, t-they gave me" She pouted.

"Oh really, where are ouchies they gave you ?" I asked her smirking.

They never beats her, so there should be no bruises.

She immediately took out my jacket and on reflex, we both immediately closed our eyes shut.

"What the fuck are you doing, Raven ?" I asked her, irritated.

"Showing you ouchie" She mumbled. I frowned and open my eyes to look at the place where she is pointing. Same with Ryan.

"Look, here" she points on her right side of her stomach.

There are burnt marks.

My eyes widened.

"What the fuck ?"

"Who did this ?"

"B-Brian and Danny" She muttered, staring at the burn mark.

Then and there, I saw fucking red.

One look at Ryan and anyone could tell that he just wants to cut Brian's fingers.

He gulped.

"Rav" He called her softly. She looked at him with her big eyes "W-We are sorry, Rav. Because of us, he h-hurts y-"

"No No No Ry, He is always this bad" She pouted.

I frowned.

"Do you know him ?"

She looked at me and nodded with a pout.

"He was mines, Alex and Ivan's best friend. I really saw them as a brother, but bad Brian always hurts me. He keep telling people that 'She is mine, she is mine'" She mimicked, showing actions.

I clenched my fist.

"Do you know, He is shoooo bad. He always kept his cold hands on me. It feels shoooo cold. Raven didn't like it. He even wants to kissy me on my lips" She pouted, with a tears in her eyes.

My eyes widened.

She is going through all these things and we didn't even realise it.

"It hurts. Raven didn't like it. It hurts Raven shoooo much" She whispered with tears in her eyes.

Ryan pulled her in a hug.

And to my surprise, she hugged him back.

"He will never hurt you again, I promise" He whispered, rubbing her back.

She just buried her face in his chest.

I smiled unknowingly.

She pulled out from hug and stare at me.

"Dummy, wanna join hug ?" She asked me sassily.

I scoffed.

"Why are keep calling me dummy ?"

"Because, Dummy is such a cute name for dumb person like you, isn't it Ry ?" She asked smirking, to which Ryan just chuckled and nodded.

I glare at them for teaming up against me.

"Excuse me, you both are dummy here" I scoffed.

"Of course we are sitting with a dummy, so we are also considered as dummies" She laughed at her own poor joke.

"Ha ! Bad joke" I rolled my eyes.

"Who told you to laugh ?" They highfived each other, laughing.

I looked both of them in pure disbelief.

"I don't care" I said and stood up to left the room.

They both are laughing so hard.

This girl has fucking crazy mood swings.

She was pouting, looking adorable a second before, and now she is behaving all sassy.

Girls are so complicated.

Thank God, she is not my sister. I know Ryan is keep believing her as our sister but what could I say, he is just plain fool.

I am never gonna date a girl like her.

I would've roasted day and night by her.

I sighed, letting my body fall on the bed.

I stretch my arms and yawned. I slid my hands in my pocket and took out two phones and kept it on table.

One ofcourse belongs to Raven.

Just as I put her phone, screen lit up showing notifications.

Wow, 12 missed calls from Alex. 11 missed calls from Ivan. 6 missed calls from Pari.

Who are these guys ?

She must be a very important for them.

I shrugged and going to keep that phone in his place, when suddenly her phone rings.

Ivan ?

Should I pick it up ?

But, how could I ?

But, there are so many missed calls of Ivan.

Still, I can't invade someone's privacy.

Nope, it's important that's why they are calling again and again.

No-

Shut up ! I am picking up.

I touched green button and put phone on my ear.

"Hel-"

"What the fuck happened, Rav ? Are you ok ? Why are you not picking up calls ? Are you fine ? Did he hurt you ? Did they harm you ? Please tell something, why are you not talking ? Tell somethi-"

Give me a time to reply, man.

I cleared my throat and-

"Raven is-"

"Who the fuck are you ? You are not Raven ? Where is she ? Why you have her phone-"

"That's-"

I again get cuts off by second voice.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS RAVEN ? WHAT YOU DID WITH HER, YOU FUCKING SHIT ? I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, IF THERE WILL BE A SINGLE BRUISE ON HER BODY. AND WHY THE FUCK, YOU ARE SILENT ? TELL ME WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BESTFRIEND-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP. ATLEAST GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SPEAK" I yelled from the phone, frustrated.

There is a silence and I took this as my chance to speak.

"Raven is ok, now, I guess-"

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU ARE GUESSING IT ? WHY SHE IS NOT OK-"

"First of all, stop cutting me in between" I replied, irritated. "Now, listen, she is ok, but suddenly she is behaving weirdly"

I gave them time to process.

"Weirdly ? What does that mean ?" First voice said.

"She is behaving like a child" I sighed.

There is a silence. A pin drop silence on other side.

"Hello- Are you there ?"

I asked.

"Why she is behaving like child ?" Someone asked me coldly.

I scoffed.

Like I know.

"Why the hell you think, I will know that ?" I replied rolling my eyes.

"Then why the hell you have her phone ?" He scowled.

"What the fuck you did with her, Asshole ?" Another voice said.

Seriously ?

"That's not your business. I just want to inform you that, she cannot talk with you, right now but she is ok" I said annoyedly and hanged up.

"Insane Crazy shits" I muttered.

"Heyyy Dummy ! Why are you describing ywourself ?"
