After the funeral Raven was so heart broken knowing she has no family left. Seeing everybody come up hugging her showing this fake love like they've always cared.
Raven walks out her family bathroom seeing her cousin Steven right there. Her and Steven grew up in Gray Indiana since they was 5. Steve was 3 years older than Raven so when he moved she never saw him again, but they always stayed in touched
She walk out crying all over again hugging Steven
"It's okay cousin" He said squeezing her.
They walked back down stairs seeing everybody look at Raven..
"I'm gone always be here if you need me" Her cousin Pam said "Call me any time you hear me? " She said
Raven shook her head yes. "Can we just go outside? Everytime I'm in here all I get is flashbacks" She said to Steven.
They walked outside. Raven takes a big breath.
"Move down to Minnesota with me" he asked
"I can't just up and move"
"You can. You just won't" he said touching her shoulder.. "as my favorite cousin/sister I want you near me. Fuck home. That's why I left to get away from all these fake ass family members. You'll be close to me. Just think about it" he said
Raven did. He was right. All they gone want is money from her when she gets paid from her family life insurance. "You're right" she said
"I leave in two days. " he said
"Would if I'm not ready? " She said
Steven grabs her hand. "You ready for anything. As long as I'm right there. We gone be straight. I'll never have you hurting or worried about a damn thing. " he said hugging her again.
"I don't think I can have anything ready and packed in two days"
That's why I'm here. "
Steven mom Ursula walked over to him " So you came back for her but not to see your mother? " Ursula asked
"A mother who use to beat me every chance she got, cause she couldn't stay off them drugs? " Steven said
Ursula slaps him "Dont talk to me like that"
"This is not to time or place for this" Raven said
"How dare you speak to me like that? " She asked ignoring Raven
"Can you just go, ? " Raven said to Ursula
"Both of you should not even have came" Ursula said
"WHAT? " Raven said "THIS IS MY MOTHER HOUSE. Don't EVER SPEAK LIKE THAT TO ME. WHEN YOU HAVENT SHOWED UP AT ALL TO EVEN CHECK TO SEE IF SHES GOOD, CAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN HER HUSBAND BEEN BEATING NOT ONLY HER BUT ALL OF US" Raven said walking away with tears in her eyes
Ursula looks at Steven seeing him shake his head.
"You wrong" Steven said leaving her to stand right there.
"Steven" Ursula said
"No Ursula. You know I'm happy to not be around this fake ass family" he said waking away.
Raven walks back in the house hearing her uncle talk about the life insurance and how much I was suppose to get back. Raven walks in the living room.
"Y'all can get out too," Raven said
"Raven baby girl" her grandmother said
"No grandma. EVERYBODY CAN GET THE FUCK OUT. NOBODY CARE ABOUT IF THEY DEAD OR NOT. Y'all ONLY WORRY ABOUT WHO GETS WHAT. HALF OF YALL HERE NEVER SHOWED YALL FACES SINCE I WAS LITTLE" Raven yells.
"Raven" her grandmother said again
"NO! GET OUT? " Raven said walking away.
Steven walks back in seeing Raven storm off and everybody watch her.
"Well y'all heard her" Steven said
Raven was in her room packing up every thing she needs to move far away from here. Steven walks in seeing her in tears.
"Can we go to the store so. I can change out all these locks. I'll sale this house within a heart beat" Raven said.
"You sure you want to do that? You grew to here"
"And I have no family any more. " Raven said whipping her tears off.
"You got me cuz"
"Yeah the only person I have left on this planet, "
