Raven: sighs heavily "You finally came."
narrows eyes You didn't tell me why you wanted to meet here. And now that you're here, I can't help but feel uneasy. What's going on, Resteeda?
well um things aren’t going good
leans in closer, voice low Spit it out, then. What's happened? I can't stand seeing you like this.
pulls away from the hug, brows furrowed Don't play with me, Resteeda. If you're here asking for sympathy, you'll leave disappointed.
I’m getting threatened by someone I thought was a friend so I’m telling you because I don’t trust anyone else and I’m scared
stands up abruptly, anger flashing in his eyes Who dares threaten my sister? Tell me their name, and I'll make them regret it.
well there name is gerard
clenches fists, voice dripping with venom Gerard, huh? That bastard thinks he can threaten my sister? He has no idea who he's messing with.
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Gerard... He'll pay for this. But first, I need to gather my thoughts. takes out his phone
I watch him pacing around
snaps his fingers, calling someone on the phone Hey, it's Raven. I need your help with something. pauses, listening
I rub his shoulder are you okay
ends the call, gritting his teeth I'll handle Gerard, Resteeda. No one threatens my family and gets away with it.
The next day, Raven confronts Gerard, making it clear that he won't tolerate the threats any longer. Gerard realizes he underestimated Raven and backs off, leaving Resteeda feeling safer.
I look at Raven um so how did it go
smirks It went better than expected. Gerard won't be bothering you anymore. sits down, crossing his arms But enough about him. How are you holding up, really?
leans forward, concern in his eyes Resteeda, I may not always show it, but I care about you. I want to help you through this.
stands up, determined Alright, we're not staying here any longer. We're leaving this place and starting fresh somewhere else. Pack your things, we're moving today.
grabs Resteeda's hand, leading her towards the door We'll figure it out on the way. Trust me, I've got a plan.
quickly packs his own belongings, glancing around the room Make sure you don't forget anything important, Resteeda.
I grab my bag and follow him
opens the door, leading Resteeda outside This is it. We're starting a new chapter in our lives. Stay close, and don't let anyone know where we're headed.
takes out a map and points to a location We're heading here, Resteeda. It's a quiet town, far from Gerard's reach.
walks briskly, keeping an eye out for any followers Stick close, Resteeda. We can't afford to be caught off guard.
quickly hails a taxi Get in, Resteeda. We need to leave as soon as possible.
I get into the car and she sits next to him
leans back in the seat, speaking softly Resteeda, I know I haven't always been the brother you needed. But I promise, from now on, I'll be there for you.
