   Don't attempt to get inside my head, it's not always a nice place to be. Sometimes,the darkness there even terrifies me...

    Don't attempt to peer into my heart, that's where my demons reside. Sometimes the pain there,even makes me want to hide...
   Don't attempt to look into my eyes,you won't always like what you see. Sometimes the agony there is even too much for me...

     
      .Klaus.

       I reflexively freeze when Raven's lips clash with mine. Her kiss is the exact opposite of her personality. Warm, soft and just a bit feisty. The bite really sends tingles in every possible place I could think of and I am unable to take my eyes off her full lips when they leave mine. Normally, I'd pictured if we'd ever ended up together in some twisted sort of way, I'd be the one to give the first kiss. Because I'm the guy. And it's totally normal for the guy to give off the first kiss. I'd never pictured it would be her first time in my house, her away from school because of me. Wearing her school uniform, busting into my room, playing my video game, asking if I liked her and then...kissing me.

       I guess I never really knew what to expect when it came down to her. Raven was absolutely just full of surprises. Like why the hell would the school's goth slash total bad girl be so interested in what's wrong with me after she'd already denied my feelings for her the first time I confessed it to her. Why would she even kiss me if she didn't like me? Answers are, I don't know because she's Raven and she's totally psychotically unpredictable.

         "Why are you here?" I find myself asking the question I hadn't thought to really inquire when she first came. I ignore my subconscious for mocking me about that being the first thing I say after our first kiss.

        She snorts, looking up at me. I gaze into her blue eyes as it takes off in different directions due to her reaction. "What do you mean why am I here? You weren't in school, just came to check up on you."

         "Why?" I push further.

     "Why not?" She implies, trying to play the mind game with me.

       "Why?" I repeat my previous question and watch as she stands on my carpet now.

      "What? I can't care about you now?" She rhetorically asks, seeming to get angry.

      I get up as well and tower over her. "That's the thing Raven, you don't care."

       "If I didn't care, I wouldn't be in your house right now!" She yells.

      "How'd you know my address?" I move on to another question. I didn't enjoy being toyed with and if that was what she had in mind, she might as well...fuck off.

       She takes a huge breath, looking down at her boots before looking up at me again. What seems to be a genuine look of care flashes across her face but then it disappears before I could really decipher it. "Shawn gave me."

         Of course. Why didn't I even think if that? Was I so stupid, so craving for someone to really bother me about what's wrong that I didn't even care if they really wanted to know or just do it to...pass time?

        "He was really worried about you," she sighs once more, biting down on her bottom lip as she glances up at me. "He said, he knew you'd open up to me if I asked about whatever was wrong so he gave me your home address."

          "Shawn put you up to this?" I ask once again, I try my best to shove down the awful need to laugh at my own stupidity and neediness but fail miserably as a sad laugh escapes my lips. "Of course he bloody did!"

      I brush my fingers through my hair and go ahead to open my room door. "Get out!"

         "What the actual fuck?" The words that escaped her lips was the same expression she carried.

           "I said get out!" I try my best. To work through my issues. To not get to people. To keep my anger in pace. But when people put their brutality and lies before me, it gets to me so much and just rips me up from the inside.

            She takes a step closer to me, not flinching. "If you really think I'm leaving this house while you're still mad at me, you may very well be wrong. Let's have a sleepover boyfriend."

        I try taking calming breaths but fail as I grip on her wrist and begin leading her towards the living room. My mind knew it was a bad idea. My soul screamed it was a bad idea. My brain warned it was a bad idea. Every part of me knew my action was a bad idea because this was fucking...Raven.

     She lands a punch onto my jaw and I cuss as I release my grip on her. I turn to look at her once again and she's panting heavily, her hair shadowing most of her face.

        "At least I came!" I suddenly hear her yell. "You think if I didn't care, I would be in your freaking house?! You're right, I don't care about anyone! Hell, I don't even care about my own father, he might as well die for his sins but I care about you! And sorry if I don't share mutual feelings with you but how am I supposed to deal with this?!"

       She dramatically throw up her hands, referring to my home. "You're fucking rich Klaus and just because I'm in that stupid school doesn't mean I'm half as rich as anyone in there! I don't even know how I got in! So if it really hurts you that I came here just because it wasn't my initial idea then you might as well fuck off!"

          She shoves past me as she willingly makes her exit out of the house.

       I fucked up and I knew it.
