Chapter 4: "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T USE A PEN AS A WEAPON! "

-RAVEN-

With 'Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' in my hands, I'm lying on my bed right now. Even though I've read this so many times, it still makes me laugh on how messed up his life is. Atleast someone I 'know' has it tougher than I have.

-Shit... I can't get her out of my mind. Those grey eyes and that sweet smile... Amanda Miller, this is the first time we've spoken with each other... heh, you really are something...-

I decided to walk towards my desk and try studying, before I go to work, yet with no success. -She's been in my mind for hours...-

My daily life is based on studies and work. Since my father left us four alone, I have no other choice than to become the best at everything for my family. They all look up to me.

-Fuck... how irritating! I have to be a role model for my siblings. I want them to stay inspired and motivated. They shouldn't suffer, like I did...-

"Ravi? Can you help me out with maths? I don't get it." I spot my little twelve year old sister Evelyn, shyly peeking inside my room.

"Come here." I say and give her my seat. She smiles does as told.

" You need to multiplicate first, after that you-..." I like helping my siblings out. They mean the world to me inclusive my mom. I need to be a man for my family.

My feelings shouldnt involve my work. It's the only way to keep walking forward. No distractions, no hesitations and no worries. But then why am I so attracted to a girl, whom I don't really even know?

I sense someone spying on us. -Ah, little man is seeking inside.... It's Troy, my brother. We have 4 years age difference.-

He walks in with a smirk on his childish face. "Yow bro! I need some new MMA moves! Could you teach me?" He throws some shadow boxing. -He's tall for his age, have I mentioned that already?-

I playfully hit his head, making him groan. "Where are your manners? Aren't you 14 already? Stop acting like a 5 year old. I never taught you to call me 'Yow bro'."

Call me strict or whatsoever, I want my siblings to be respectful towards elder ones.

Evelyn giggles while Troy frowns. "Sowwy..."

When I finally finished helping my sister, I move on to show Troy how to use a weapon instead.

"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T USE A PEN AS A WEAPON!" He yells as I take the pen.

"You idiot. Everything can be used as a weapon. Even a paper can cut your skin." I sigh and show him the techniques.

Those were my 'survival' moves. As a little kid, I used to love analysing people's weaknesses and so this is how I created them.

In the end Troy was happy afterall and wouldn't stop repeating those movements.

I checked my watch, after some hours.
-Time to work.- I wore my leather jacket and wrapped my knuckles, with a band. -Yes, my life is a disaster. My work are illegal underground fights and the other not,which is writing books. I've been doing it since I was 14. I wanted to help my mom out and so I work two jobs. Sucks huh?...-

"Raven... darling, it's okay. You don't need to this anymore." I was about to head out, but I get held back by my mum. She always says that and honestly... -It pisses me off!... Just watching her work all alone isn't something I can live with. I better shove my ass all day long for her.-
