Chapter Two - Raven 1 LESLIE I didn't think it was possible to get paid and still feel like crying until I was holding my severance pay in my hands. Two weeks' pay, just enough to make sure I would only get kicked out from my house in a month instead of the week after. It was enough to make me lose my mind but before I had time for that, my phone began to ring. I lift the phone to my face, strands of my dark hair whipping around my face, pulled every which way by the little breeze. Mom with a heart emoji sat at the top of the screen. "Hello, mom?" I answer, trying to keep my voice level even as my lips trembled. Across the street, a black and yellow taxi cab shone in the sun as it waited for the old lady in the back to step down. "Leslie, where are you? You need to come to the hospital now. Brian's condition is getting worse. He has to stay back after this round of dialysis." I stifle a gasp by pinching my thighs with my fingers, but inside, my heart lost rhythm. Not again? Is he going back into deep waters? "What happened, he was getting better, how is he suddenly going in the opposite direction?" I cry, frustration eating its way into my bones. My fingers clenched into fists as I resisted the temptation to rub the back of my neck where it itched. Brian could not be going in for round two of those long nights where it seemed he could be gone at any minute, as we waited in tense fear praying desperately for him to pull through. "We don't know, a relapse maybe, just get here as soon as you can." "I will mum," I reply, dropping the phone into my bag with numb, shaky hands and wondering how so many things could go wrong in one day. The taxi across the road was just moving away but I did not have the strength to flag it down. I wanted to fall to the ground and just forget about everything. My parents wouldn't take the news of me losing my job well, along with Brian's issues. I sigh, muscles creaking as I grab my bag. I was just so tired of everything. I needed a job and I wasn’t sure how that was going to happen. Another wan sigh escapes my lips as I make my way to the hospital, a thousand and one thoughts burning a hole through my head. I got to the hospital and walk past the reception desk without really looking at where I’m going. The reception was always crowded but the hospital had so many potted plants and sofas that most times it was easy to find a place to perch or relax. As I did on days when my head wasn’t full of the weight of the world. The elevator ride up is the same crappy experience, I stand at the far end, my back to the wall as I try to breathe and forget everything but they just kept coming back. I resolutely brush away the tears threatening to spill over. I had to be strong for Brian but how could I do it? It's all going to be alright, you just need to believe and keep your head up, my dad's voice repeats in my head. His favorite mantra. I smile a little, if only it were so easy, dad. I’ll get myself a drink, I decide. Must better to cry with a blueberry blast on my tongue. I turn a corner to get to the vending machine and bump straight into the chest of a hulking man, water splashs between both of us, staining the front of my shirt but barely spilling on him. The wet wave spreads down my chest and I gasp at the iciness of the water. "Watch it!" He roars, pushing me back before I have the time to react. The water sloshes out of the cup again and puddle around my feet. Getting into my shoe and chilling my feet as it runs between my toes. "You almost ruined a ten thousand dollar suit," he snaps, staring at me like he hadn't just wet the front of my blouse and turned my shoe into a wetland. I see red at once. I turn a glare on him enhanced by the harsh fluorescent lighting from above. "When two people bump into each other and one hits the other ruining the person’s blouse, usually an apology is in order, not a shout! Don't you have any sense of decency?" He stares right back at me open-mouthed, the surprise on his face dulls the edge of my anger. Dark brown eyes regard me calmly, under hooded brows that spark a sense of calm coiled danger. His lips, dark on top and pink beneath lengthen to a one-sided smile, above a strong sharp jawline that I was pretty sure could cut if it wanted to. The smile turns my insides to mush, I try my best to hold on to my anger as my heart speeds up and tingles spread down my hands. Who is this man? I think, a soft sigh escaping my slightly parted lips as his perfect dark, smooth skin fills my vision. Completed by a dark blue suit that looked like it was carved for his body. "Fiery," he says finally. His voice is low, and bassy, whipping a blaze of electricity down my spine. White teeth
