Author's P.O.V.

Raven's eyes widened.

"ARREST THIS GIRL" Mr. Brown shouted and other man came towards them. He was going to put handcuffs on Raven's hands but Ivan immediately pulled her towards him.

Mr.Brown glared at him.

"Listen kid, I am going to arrest her. Do whatever you want"

"YOU CAN'T ARREST HER MR. BROWN" A voice said from behind.

Their head snapped towards the door only to see Ruby and Xander with a familiar police officer.

Officer Marcus.

"S-Sir" Brown stuttered saluting him.

"Sir She raised her hands on me, on a Police Officer, she needs punishment" He said glaring at her at the end.

"No Brown you can't. She didn't raised her hands on Police Officer so we can't arrest her" Marcus said glaring at him.

"S-Sir-"

"You are Suspended Mr.Brown" He said coldly.

"Wh- Why- WHAT ARE YOU SAYING MR. MARCUS ? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND-"

"Lower your volume, Brown otherwise I can arrest you in the crime of disrespecting your senior"

Brown lowered his glare. He is continuously gritting his teeth. His fists are clenched.

"And recently I am getting lots of complaints against you. So, I decided to take matters in my hand and I found out that you are nothing but a corrupted police officer"

"N-No Sir it's not t-true-"

"Yes, it is. You are supporting criminals, you are using your power for misuse, you are greedy most importantly you are misbehaving with female. You are Suspended Mr.Michael Brown."

"NO SIR YOU CAN'T DO IT"

"I already did it Brown"

Mr. Brown's eyes becomes dark. He was going to hold his collar but other officers hold him back.

"Be in your limits Brown" Marcus said coldly.

"Please escort him out" He told other officers, who nodded in response and dragged Mr. Brown out of the station, who continue struggles in their hold.

Officer Marcus turned towards Raven and said in his usual gentle and polite voice "I am sorry for your trouble"

Raven politely said "it's ok Sir" and immediately added "But Sir, he deleted that video. I-It was a proof against David and Brian. S-Sir-"

"Don't worry Rav, your proof is safe with me" Their heads snapped towards Ivan who showed his phone to Raven.

Raven frowned in confusion.

"How ?"

"Remember I installed an app in my phone which saved all those deleted files in it ?"

He smirked.

Raven's eyes beamed.

"But Mr. Ivan isn't video is in Miss.Raven's phone ?"

"Yes Officer but this app is connected to all four of our phones."

"Yes Yes. Restore that video, Ivan, please" Raven told him.

He nodded and immediately restored it.

He gave his phone to Raven and she showed that video to everyone.

Ruby's eyes watered. While Xander clenched his fist hearing how his bestfriend is harming his children. Not only he abused his sons but also told a boy to bully his daughter.

They felt a pang in their heart.

They are so proud of their daughter and they just told her that they are disappointed in her. The amount of guilt they are feeling right now is just above someone's thinking. And they should be.

"R-Rav" Ruby whispered to Raven.

But everyone can heard it.

Raven looked at her mom but immediately avoided her gaze.

Ruby's heart broke at that.

"I am really sorry, Rav" She looked down, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Raven closed her eyes tightly, she said "It's Ok Mo- it's ok" She restrained herself from calling her mom.

Xander's eyes filed with tears but he controlled it.

Ruby felt her heart dropped at that.

"Rav, I am sorry too. You are never a disappoint to us, you are my pride, I don't know what took control of me and I blabbered rubbish at that time, but I didn't mean it, I didn't mean anything, Rav" Xander apologized lowering his gaze.

Raven's heart skipped a bit. She never saw her Mom - Dad like this.

"Rav, you, out of all people know that you are our pride. You made us proud. You always made us proud. We are really really sorry princess, please forgive us" Raven looked at her Dad and her eyes widened.

Tears in her Dad's eyes.

A Girl can't see tears in her Father's eyes, no matter what.

Father is always considered as Superhero in his childrens' eye. And the first man in Daughter's life is their father whom she loves unconditionally. She could sacrifice her life for her Father and seeing tears in her Superhero's eyes is painful.

Raven knows very well that her parents are saying truth. They Never let her feel unloved even for a second. They never blamed her for anything. This time they did mistake ofcourse she felt bad and she is not gonna lie about that but she knows that they are guilty for what they did.

And which type of Daughter could hold grudges against their Mom - Dad who always fulfilled her every wishes ? Who never says 'No' to her any demands ? Who loves her unconditionally ?

Ruby joined her hands and lowered her gaze.

Raven immediately hold her hands.

"No Mom, please don't do this, I forgave you, D-Dad please don't cry, I am s-sorry-"

Xander pulled her in his embrace immediately.

"No Princess you are not going to ask for forgiveness. We deserve this. I am really sorry, Rav, please forgive me-"

"Dad, it's enough please. I already forgave you"

She said wiping her tears.

She pulled out from the hug and turned towards her Mom, who is looking at them with love in her eyes.

She wiped her Mom's tears and cupped her cheeks "Please Mom, don't cry, I can't tolerate tears in your eyes"

Ruby immediately hugged her daughter and sobbed.

"I don't know what I did in my life that I got you as my daughter. You are very precious to me. We are so lucky to have you in our life. And Raven, I am not telling this because I want you to forgive me but because it is truth. And I could repeat this everyday that You are precious to me. You literally are, Princess." She said determined.

Raven tightened her hold.

"Sir"

A bold voice said grabbing everyone's attention.

They looked at the door. A police man said saluting Officer Marcus, who in response salute him back.

"David Denmark and Brian Dallas are caught. They tried to escape from the house but our officers reached there on time"

He informed.

Officer Marcus nodded and he left.

"Mr. Ivan, send this video to me and Mr. Wilson as David is caught, his sons are in need of guardian, so are you going to take their custody or they will go in foster-"

"No Sir, I will take their custody" Xander said boldly.

Marcus nodded and turned towards other officers.

"Ok I will send you papers" He told them.

Everyone started cheerings.

Raven and Ruby hugged each other.

While Xander hugged Ivan and Alex.

"I will inform Pari"

Ivan said and excused himself.

"Sorry Pari, please don't get Mad" Raven pouted.

Pari looked at her weirdly.

"Stop making those fishy face. I am not going to melt by that" She rolled her eyes.

Raven's pout disappear as a glare fixed on her face.

"Bitch" She muttered.

"Yeah that's why, your friend" Pari rolled her eyes.

"Keep rolling your eyes Bitch, maybe you will find your brain there" Raven remarked.

"Atleast I have a brain. You don't have one" Pari smirked.

"Fuck off"

"Not interested"

"Go to hell"

"Not without you"

"You are not going to leave me alone there also ?" Raven sighed.

"Nope"

"But I am going to heaven"

Pari laughed at this "Funny one, I love your jokes bro"

"You are so annoying"

"Learn from the best"

Raven having enough of her, glared at her. She glared at her back.

Soon enough, a smile broke through their lips and they started laughing.

Eventually they hugged each other a way too tightly.

"I hate you Pari, you know that right" Raven said hugging her tightly.

"Yeah Yeah I know, love you too babes" Pari said smiling ear to ear.

Meanwhile...

"Where is Raven ? Why didn't she come ? You bought her with you right ? I will cut your limbs if you left her-"

"Chill Man, She is here. She is out talking to Pari" Alex rolled his eyes at Ryder.

"And by the way, we are going for a movie in half an hour" Ivan smirked a little "So you only had half hour to talk to her"

"WHAT THE FUCK ! You are not taking her anywhere. She will be with us here, understand ?" Ryan protested glaring at Ivan.

"Ivan Will you take Pari with you too ?"

They looked at Rowan who is looking at Ivan.

"Yes Rowan, ofcourse we will take her too" Alex replied instead of Ivan.

"I am coming too, please book ticket for me too" Rowan replied. More like ordered, leaving them in shock.

They narrowed their eyes at him.

Ryder cleared his throat "No one is going anywhere leaving me alone here, is it clear ? And you both, if you are that much interested in movies than you both can take Ryan, but not others."

Ryan looked at his brother betrayed.

To Be Continued...

I am sorry if I made you all disappoint with this. I know many of you wants her to not to forgive her parents this soon.

But, they are not abusive parents. They are normal parents. They never said anything to her. They always fulfilled her every wishes.

So why not give them one chance ?

And they are her parents not her friends that she will hold grudges against them. They are family. In family, we can't hold grudges for long time, you know ?

And practically, I don't want to drag this story long otherwise it will get boring so I decided to forgive them soon.

Hope you'll understand and will not hate me for this 🥺.
