-Summer Pov-

I wake up in the morning, and then sit up slowly. I then rub my eyes to get the sleep out of my eyes and then I smile slightly when I see the sun coming up in the morning. Reaching over to check my phone, I smile a little when I see the photo of my old team when we went to Beacon, but then I smile a little less when I see that (y/n) has his arms around Raven. Putting the phone down, I roll out of bed and then I go to get dressed, and finish the outfit with my white cloak that I got from (y/n) as a gift.

Making my way down to the kitchen, I then smile and then find myself breakfast. Ever since Raven came to me asking me to take care of (y/n) and Yang, I've been wondering what she meant by that. She was crying and clearly torn up about something. I thought that maybe she and (y/n) were going through some marriage problems, and even a possible divorce.  But I had seen him with Raven the last few days, and then the two of them seemed happier than before. I didn't want to say anything to him.

Ever since I had gone to Beacon and (y/n) had been my partner in the team, I had feelings for him. He was my best friend, and on top of that I had romantic feelings for him. But right away, he had been attracted to Raven, and I could see why easily. I even helped him a little bit with getting with Raven since I didn't want her to be hurt since she and (y/n) are both my friends. I did the best I could to bury my feelings for him, but every time I tried, they came back up and stronger than ever before.

I wondered if (y/n) really didn't know about the feelings I had for him. I did the best I could to keep them down, and not make it too obvious, and yet just about everybody seemed to know. Qrow had been a constant source of comfort for me, promising me I would find someone in the end. And Raven had been apologetic to me at her wedding, and did the best she could to keep her displays of affection to (y/n) away from me. All of my friends helped me with it the best they could, but here I am still having feelings for him.

Almost everyone had been helpful to me with this. They had tried to set me up on dates before, and I had a few boyfriends here and there. But every time I was on a date with someone, I kept comparing them to (y/n) and then I realized that I was still in love with him, and I couldn't imagine the day I wasn't. And even the dates I had been on, they were able to tell right away that I still had feelings deep down for someone else.

Shaking my head I then make my way to my job, working as the weapons's worker at Signal. I'm so happy I have this job. It lets me work on weapons which is one of my favorite things to do. I also am good friends with my coworkers, like Qrow who teaches combat. The only time it gets awkward is when I run into (y/n) who teaches advanced combat. Every time he brings Raven and Yang with him, I have to spend half the class composing myself and trying not to cry. It hurts every time to see him with Raven and Yang.

When I see (y/n), all I can think is the life I could have had with him. I imagine myself and him having the same playful flirtation he had with Raven, and I imagine myself and him falling in love slowly. Then, I can see the two of us moving into a house together, small like the house he had with Raven. I then see myself and him getting married to each other, and then finally, the two of us starting a family together, with a daughter like I always imagined, with my hair but with his eyes.

Shaking my head, I force myself to go down to the teacher's lounge and focus on my work for the day, coming up with a lesson plan. I then sit down with (y/n) and Qrow and then work with them as they come up with their own plans for the day. I do the best I can not to ask either of them about what Raven had told me, but I force myself to keep it a secret. It might have been just nothing, so I don't want (y/n) to worry about his marriage, and I don't want Qrow to worry about his sister.

At the end of the day, I go home and then I get a text from (y/n), asking me to come over. I think about it for a little bit, and then I go over to his house. I knock on the door, and then he opens it. I smile at him, but then I see his eyes are red, and he holds Yang in his arms, who's also crying. " What happened," I ask, concern filling my voice and then (y/n) takes me into the house, and then he closes the door.

" Raven left," he manages to say eventually. " The last week or so....she was so affectionate to us all, and then today, I woke up and she was gone. I figured it was just a mission or something, so I didn't worry. But, I then found this note from her saying she was going to be gone for a while and that she was sorry." When he says this to me, it then clicks that she had told me to take care of him and Yang because of this, because she knew that she would have to be leaving, and didn't know if she could come back.

A million questions go through my mind, but right now I don't ask any of them. Right now, I open my arms and he hugs me, and I hug him and Yang. Yang cries freely, wondering where her mother is, as (y/n) tries to hold in his tears, and seem strong for the sake of his daughter, but I know he wonders where his wife is. And so, I hold the two of them close to me, and I promise myself and Raven I'll take care of them.
