Raven POV :|| 

"Why are you so short tempered?" George asked as we walked along the beer bottle littered sidewalk. I shrugged my shoulders and shoved my hands into my pockets. What could I say? I can't tell him why I was angry with the world if my world wasn't here. Everything changes, opinions and view points, and he just wouldn't understand. Then again, hasn't there always been that one sad depressed kid in the corner known as an outcast? Maybe opinions have only changed. Maybe human nature hasn't. But I can't be so sure. Not yet, anways. 

"I guess I just am." I finally murmured, kicking a glass bottle as I walked along. George nodded, as if he some how understood what I was saying. I bet he was only trying to be nice, trying to understand what I was saying. And that was great.

"You and Luna have a lot in common, you know?" George said. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. I shook my head quickly, denying any similarities with her. 

"You both have an anger for the world. You both are mad at yourselves, so you allow yourselves to hate everything as if it can make up for what happened. And dwelling on the past isn't a good thing. I think you should forgive." he said calmly. 

"I don't have to forgive anyone. I'm perfectly happy. I'm great." I spat. George chuckled and smiled. 

"You did it again, you spat at someone trying to help you. If you calmed down, you could get help much easier. You don't have to put people through your reality, you know." George turned and kept walking. 

I stood in utter shock, and a single tear made its way across my cheek. Maybe he was right, maybe I should change. But there is always... Always what? 

"Hey, there you are." familiar voices called. George turned around and smiled. But I stayed rooted to my spot, afraid to let the others know just how weak I was.
