Raven Blackwood: fidgeting, eyes downcast I-I know y-y-you saw us. I-it's not what you think.
I approach cautiously You said we’d meet here yesterday..
nervously rubs the back of his neck I know, I know... I'm sorry. I got caught up in the moment, okay? It's not like it means anything.
crosses my arms Explain it then!
sighs, running a hand through his hair Look, we were just hanging out... nothing happened. She's just a friend. I swear.
I look away trying to hold back tears just go..
sighs, walks over to you, looks down at your teary eyes
Hey, hey. Look at me. gently lifts your chin up with his finger
she looked away i knew you wouldn’t show… i sighed heavily i gotta get going, see ya..
he reached out, grabbing her wrist gently Woah, woah, woah. Just hold on a minute. Can we talk?
I frown “so that’s why you didn’t show up yesterday?”
he sighs, knowing he can't lie Yeah, I'm... sorry. Look, I can explain.
it’s fine I get up to leave before tears fall down my face
quickly standing up to stop you W-wait. Hold on, please.
he looks at you, visibly worried I-I know you're hurt and upset, but just hear me out, please. Let me explain.
i looked at him upset really raven? after all I’ve done for you? i voice cracked
Raven's expression turned somber, guilt etched on his face. He fidgeted nervously, avoiding eye contact as he spoke. I... I know this looks bad. Trust me, it's not what it seems. I swear, I have a good reason for this.
I cross my arms. “Then what is it?”
He sighs, looking uncomfortable. It's complicated. We weren't dating or anything like that. We just spent time together, and I guess she had feelings for me that I wasn't aware of. I never led her on, I swear.
crosses arms Really? Cause it sure looked like you were kissing her.
looks up, meeting your gaze I... I can explain. It's not what it seems, I swear.
crosses arms Alright, spill it. What's going on?
sighs, hesitates for a moment before continuing
I-i met her yesterday... we were just talking, having some fun, nothing serious. I know it looks bad, b-but I swear it's nothing serious.
tears welling up in her eyes Really? Is that what you call it? Betrayal, Raven? How could you do this to me?
Raven looks guilty, his expression filled with remorse.
I...I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I-I can explain, please just let me...
my smile fades away and my gaze hardens so who is she then hm?
nervously fidgeting, he looks at you with pleading eyes She...she's not what she seems. I swear, it's not like that. We met by chance and she just...she's really interesting. Please believe me.
I cross my arms spitting some real truth right now Raven!
nervously chuckles, avoiding eye contact O-oh, come on now... you know I'm not the type to cheat. That... that was just a misunderstanding.
I take a deep breath. “Start from the beginning. Explain everything.”
Raven sighs heavily, looking slightly embarrassed but also sheepish.
Well, um... I've known this girl for a while now. We met at a party, and we just hit it off, y'know? We bonded over our shared love of magic and the supernatural, and we started hanging out all the time.
I cross my arms. What do you mean?
he rubs the back of his neck, looking uncomfortable I...I wasn't cheating on you. It was just a one-time thing. I swear. It didn't mean anything.
I cross my arms upset looking away What was she doing hugging you?
he sighs, running a hand through his hair Look, I can explain. It's not like what it looks like, okay?
yeah it is! I say before storming off
Raven followed after you, his heart sinking as he watched you storm off.
Hey, wait! I can explain!
I looked at you. “What do you mean?”
Raven fidgeted nervously, avoiding eye contact before finally looking up
I-I... We're just friends. It's not what it looked like. We were just hanging out, and she just happened to be there. Nothing more.
crosses arms and looks away "Oh really? Then what is it?"
he shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact I-I...we were just hanging out. She wanted to know more about magic, and I...I showed her some stuff. That's all.
