Raven turned to look at him. "It's not the hair...just fast movements at my face. You can touch my hair. I know it's a mess," She glanced at some strands hanging in her eyes and then tucked her hair behind her ears again.
"Before I left I just chopped it all off with a razor...probably not the best idea," honestly she had no idea why she did it, she kept telling herself it was for a disguise, but deep down she knew there was another reason.

Spot smiled, 'I'll keep it slow around you then,' he said. The wind blew some hair in her face and he stepped forward, slowly moving some hair behind her ear. 'why'd you chop it off?'

Raven looked up at him and into his gorgeous blue eyes, so blue she found herself getting lost in them. She didn't move away from him, she possibly even leaned into his touch a bit.
"I dunno...Originally for a disguise, but I know it ain't the real reason. I think I was trying to change something, change me..." She said softly and then sighed, "it didn't work. I still ain't sleeping and I'm still jumpy all the time."

'what happened to you?' he asked, softly, twirling some of her choppy hair around in his fingers.

"Shit that shouldn't happen to anyone," She said honestly and swallowed hard, still looking up at him. She could feel her eyes filling up with tears and she tried to blink them away.
Raven immediately looked down and wiped harshly at her eyes.

Jesus Christ, she was crying Spot didn't do tears. 'I ain't gonna pry,' Spot said and in a rare and pretty awkward gesture he brushed a tear away with his thumb.

Raven looked up at him again, as he wiped the tear away.
"You're not," she said softly and managed to lift the corner of her mouth in a smile. "It's just a lot and then I get like this so I usually don't talk about it." She shrugged.

Spot dropped his hand and returned her small smile, 'you don't gotta tell me anything unless you want to,' he said, tossing his cigarette over the side of the building.

Raven took a deep breath and let it out slowly. If anyone should know what happened it should probably be Spot. She leaned back against the edge of the roof and blew her hair out of her face.
"My brother..." She was already having trouble starting, she took another breath. "My brother likes to hurt people...well more specifically me. I'd randomly ask him something and he'd just backhand me for no reason. The other guys would just watch and not do anything. You know, it goes from one slap to a punch to full on beatings. This isn't something new here. I guess I never thought it would get worse than that,"
She dared to glance at Spot and then rolled up her sleeve, showing him the scar on her forearm, there was more, but she wasn't showing him here.
Raven pulled down her sleeve and then hung her head. "You're the first guy I've ever actually kissed...voluntarily," she looked at him again, as a tear slipped down her face. "After awhile I sort of just...let it happen ya know?"

Spot certainly wasn't expecting that and reached his hand up her sleeve to rub her scar, 'shit....what happened? Is he still out there?'

"Well, I managed to run away," she said, "He got so drunk one night he just passed out and I slipped out the window. I realized I had no fucking clue where I was but I just kept going and then I ended up in midtown. You know the rest of the story." She looked down at his hand on her arm.
"Course he is, he's the leader of the Bronx. You have to know him."

'God fucking dammit,' Spot said, 'no ones gonna touch you here,' he said, gripping her arm a little more and pulling her closer. 'you're safe okay?'

"I know," she said with a smile, it was something she actually did know and did believe. She understood that was why Jack had brought her here, because he knew Spot could keep her safe.
Raven was pressed up close to him. He smelled like cigarettes, sweat and salt. She looked up into his eyes again, her heart was racing.

Jesus Christ she just had to look up at him like that. Kissing her was only natural, he thought as he pressed his mouth to hers.

Raven closed her eyes and kissed him back, letting her body lean up against his. She wrapped her arms around him tightly.
