"No. I have to live with you," he insisted quietly.

Raven took a deep breath, then turned away.

"I really love you Raven. I would trade my life for yours in an instant."

"I can't let you do that," Raven said, back facing him.

"Why?" he asked. "It's my choice. My free will. You can't change that I would die for you."

"Because I'm going away!" Raven yelled, turning with tears running down her face."

He froze. "What?" his voice asked quietly.

"Look, I love you and everything, but….I'm leaving. I can't stay here anymore. I think….I'm gonna start a new life."

"You 'love me and everything'? Raven, you're my life. I'd do anything for you and you're going to just leave?"

"Yes, I'm just going to leave. Not for you. Not for my family. For me. I need to do this for me."

His heart sank. After a minute, he spoke up again. "Do whatever you need to do, babe…"

"I will," Raven said. "I'm sorry. But I have to do this."

He nodded wordlessly.
