9:00 PM-Beast boy's P.O.V:
"YAHOO!"I cried as I plopped down on the couch next to Raven.
She was reading her stupid books again, as usual, she looked over at me and glared. "What do you want?" she growled, and I smiled at her, "Me and Cyborg are going to watch "Gang Smasher 3!"I exclaimed loudly.
Raven looked over at me in annoyance and Cyborg came over and sat next to me. "Smasher time!!" he squealed with excitement and sat at the very edge of the couch.
I threw my first into the air, "YEAH!!!" Raven stuck her nose farther into her book, "Hey, Raven, you ok?" I asked concerned.
"I'm fine, Beast boy." she grumbled, she seemed really into that book.
I better not bother her anymore. Starfire came running into the living room, she was dragging Robin behind her and they were holding hands.
"The time for Smashing of the gang's." she cried, Robin smiled sweetly at her. "Star, I think you mean, "Time for Gang Smasher." he corrected her politely. Starfire blushed, "Robin, thank you."
Robin lead Starfire to the couch and they sat down next to Cyborg,. But what amazed me about all of this, is that they NEVER let go of each other. Every time I saw them together, I couldn't help but feel jealous and lonely.
I turned on the TV and pushed "play" on the remote, when the movie started Raven got up and left. We all saw her get up, but I was the only one who watched her until she was all the way gone.
What was her deal? I mean who doesn't love a good action movie? Not even emotionless, creepy, insensitive Raven could walk away from that…could she? Maybe she was going to put her book up, it's very possible, but I highly doubt it.
10:55 PM-
The movie was totally awesome! I mean with the bang, bang, bang of the assassin's gun and the man character dude getting totally killed!
It was SWEET!
I yawned and rubbed one of my eyes, "You better go up to bed, BB." Cyborg teased. I suck my tongue out, "Yeah right, man! I could stay up forever!" I bragged with a huge grin.
Cyborg shook his head, "Not tonight, BB, maybe tomorrow." he suggested. He covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm tired too." he whispered. I scoffed, "Ok, ok, you girl! Go to bed! I bet you Raven will stay up with me!" I challenged him and wiggled my eyebrows.
Cyborg laughed, "Fine, if you get Raven to stay up with you, I give you…ten pounds of tofu!" he exclaimed. My eyes widened, "DEAL!" I hollered. Robin looked over at me and glared, "Raven could be asleep." he hissed. I covered my mouth, but then I realized I needed her awake.
Robin lead Starfire away and up the stairs, she followed and ranted about how good the movie was.
I smirked, "Time for Raven to get a little wake up call." Cyborg shook his head, "Your funeral." he muttered as he walked up the stairs.
I glared, "Thanks for the support!" I called angrily. I heard the faintest of Cyborg chuckling, I started pacing the floor. What could I do? Wake her up if she's asleep? Not on purpose or she'll skin me alive! My eyes widened in fear, this has to be done, but delicately!
Or it's my head on a silver post! I gripped my neck and gulped, how about I just knock on her door? I snapped my fingers, "That's it!" I cried, when I looked up Robin was staring down at me. "Beast boy? What did I say about Raven?" he asked sternly. I bit my bottom lip, "Sorry." I mouthed. He nodded and disappeared into the darkness of the upstairs.
I tiptoed my way up the stairs, I passed Star's room, Cyborg's room and Robin's.
When I finally reached Raven's room, I could see the light on under the crack of the door. I knocked lightly on the door, "Raven?" I whispered.
Suddenly the door slid open, "Hey." I murmured nervously. Her dark eyes watched me intently under the hood of her cloak. I gulped, "Raven? Do you want to stay up with me?" I asked.
She stared at me confused for a second, "Don't you always stay up with Cyborg?" she asked sarcastically. I shook my head, "Most night's he goes to bed, and I noticed your always up and alone…so I figured you might want some company." I blurted out.
She just kept staring at me, but moved aside so I could enter her room.
I smiled and ran inside, I had only been inside Raven's room once and it had been AGES AGO! I turned around as the door slid shut behind me, "Do you want to play video games, Raven?" I asked excitedly.
She turned around to face me, "I've never played them before, but it looks kind of stupid." she muttered. I frowned, "Oh come on! You've never even given it a chance. Every time I try to play with you, I win because you don't try." I accused.
Raven sighed, "Fine, whatever." I tried to take her hand, but she pulled away and faded through the floor. I slid open the door, transformed into a road runner and ran down stairs. There she was with the game on, TV playing the games little jingle with the controller in her hands.
I smirked and threw myself on the couch beside her, her eye twitched and I pulled my lucky controller out and we started playing.
After several games-
How was she doing it? How was she beating me? She's NEVER played this game!
I looked over Raven in the corner of my eye, "Raven?" I asked quietly. Raven looked over, "Hmm?" I shook my head, "I could've sworn you've played this game before." I murmured with suspicion, but she looked so innocent…I dismissed the thought at once.
Raven got up and stretched her arms, "Night, Beast boy."
I got up and grabbed her shoulder, "Raven? Why are you leaving? We haven't even watched late night TV shows!" I argued, she put her hand on her hip.
"Beast boy, you really want me to do that with you?" she asked in her "annoyed" tone. I nodded, "Please!" I begged and dropped to my knees. Raven rolled her eyes, "Fine." she agreed. I jumped up and hugged her around the waist, she gasped, I looked up at her shadowed face. "What's the matter?" I asked curiously. "Nothing, now get off me." she growled.
I let go of her and backed up, "Snacks to go with the movies?" I asked politely and gave a little bow. "No thanks." she muttered and sat down with her arms crossed.
I ran into the kitchen to make myself a midnight snack. Suddenly a flash of light lit up the whole house and there came a loud roar of thunder. I jumped in the air and my heart felt like I had had a heart attack!, But suddenly my thoughts weren't on myself, they were on Raven.
She's in the living room, I wonder if it scared her, hmmm… When my heart calmed I raced back to the living room, only to find that she wasn't there! My heart leapt into my throat, "Raven?!" I called. No answer, but another roar of thunder met my call. I clenched my fist and transformed into a dog, maybe, just maybe I could smell her out.
I could smell Raven, oh that sweet lavender scent mixed with-WHOA! FOCUS! FOCUS! I ran around the tower looking for her, but the places my nose lead me made no sense!
That was until I heard a tiny whimper under the dining room table. I transformed into myself and looked under there, and sure enough there she was. She was curled up with her legs to her chest, shaking, her eyes were shut tightly and she had her hands over her ears.
I sat down in front of her and I moved her hands off of her ears, she opened her eyes and stared at me. I looked down at her lips, I looked back up at her eyes, her beautiful violet eyes searched my dark green eyes intently. I took my hand and removed her hood, revealing her face, Raven leaned in and our lips met in a sweet, passionate, blissful kiss.
When we pulled apart, a huge crash of thunder roared though the whole house, she gasped and threw her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close, "Your not alone, Raven, I'm here." I murmured into her hair. "I'm here."
When the storm finally ended, we stared at each other without saying a single word, but finally she spoke up. Raven looked at the ground, "Beast boy, can we pretend that this didn't happen?" she asked. My heart sank to my stomach, "Yeah, whatever." I muttered, I got up and ran up stairs to my room.
I slid the door closed and threw myself onto my bed. A few tears ran down my cheeks, why did she say that? She just kissed me and tells me to forget it? The girl of my dreams, Terra, left me, died and now this! I'll never forget it, no matter how hard I try…
The next day, Raven and I didn't speak to each other. We wouldn't look at each other and I tried desperately not to think about her.
It wasn't even a half day before the rest of the gang caught on, they were of course confused and I told Cyborg I had lost the bet. But soon, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire asked Raven and I what was the matter, but we both said the same thing, "Nothing."
Finally, Cyborg cornered me in the living room, "Beast boy, you never act like this!" He hollered and threw his hands into the air. I flared my nostrils and narrowed my eyes, "I'm just tired of being pushed around." I muttered coldly. I bumped his shoulder as I walked away, and it really felt good to finally tell someone off.
I walked up the stairs to go to my room and bumped into Raven, she dropped her book and bent down to retrieve it, "Sorry." she apologized quickly. I glared at her, "You better be, why don't you look where your going?" I muttered bitterly.
"On second thought, I'm not sorry and you're a jerk." She turned around, started reading again and began walking back to her room, I clenched my fists and appeared in front of her. She lower her book and glared, "You know, Raven, I've been a really nice guy for a really long time." I growled and took a step toward her.
"I put up with your insults and attitude and I've HAD IT!" I pointed my finger in her face to get my point across, but she still looked emotionless, "Consider this a warning, as of last night Mr. "Nice Guy" has left the building." I informed her sternly. Raven scoffed, "Is this the part where I'm suppose to be intimidated?" she asked sarcastically and rolled her eyes.
I clenched my fists, "No, this is!" I cried as I transformed into a lion.
Her hands light up black, "BEAST BOY! LEAVE HER ALONE!!" Robin's voice rang out. Raven and I looked toward him and there stood Cyborg and Starfire standing with him, "What's gotten into you, man?" Cyborg asked solemnly and shook his head, he looked as if he had lost something very dear to him. "Your behaving like a royal Zargnarf!" Starfire hissed, she crossed her arms and turned her head away from me in a look of disgust.
I transformed back into my human self and got into Robin's face, "Look, this is who I am now, you guys don't like it… tough!"
Robin narrowed his eyes at me, "Fine, if this is how you want to act, do it somewhere else." Robin commanded, he turned swiftly on his heel, "None of us are interested." he called as he went back down the stairs. Starfire and Cyborg followed him, "Whatever!" I fumed. I went into my room and slammed the door shut behind me, the last thing I saw was Raven watching me angrily.
I picked up my toy monkey and stared at it for a long time.
I started squeezing it so hard it's head fell off, I started breathing heavily, "ALWAYS MAKING FUN OF ME!!!" I roared and hurled it at the wall. The monkey smashed into a million pieces, "Then when I stand up for myself everybody's on HER side?!" I bellowed, I picked up my lamp and threw it at the wall as well.
"SHE'S THE JERK!!" I shouted, I wanted EVERY damn person in this house to hear. I punched a hole in the wall, "No body pushes me around! NO BODY!" I muttered through my teeth. I gritted my teeth together so hard it hurt, I leaned against the wall and slid down it until I was sitting with my knees to my chest. Tears filled my eyes, "I hate her." I choked out. "I hate her."
The next morning-
I stuffed my pants, t-shirts and anything else I wanted into my suitcase.
I was putting my toiletries in when I heard a light knock on the door, "Beast boy?" Robin's muffled voice came from the other side of the door. I stared at the door, "Yeah?" I asked angrily, "Do you want to come down stairs and go out for pizza with us?" he asked kindly.
I closed my eyes and let out a breath, I got up and opened the door. Robin smiled at me and I frowned, "I'm leaving Robin." I informed him. His smile faded, "What?!" he exclaimed. I gave slow nod, "I don't belong here, I'm going somewhere I will." I hinted.
Robin gave me an icy stare, "Beast boy, why don't we talk about it?" he suggested, "There's nothing to talk about, Robin, it's obvious who's side your on." I sneered, I took the door and slammed in his face, "You can come back whenever you want, our door is always open." he said sincerely.
I took a deep breath and stared at the door, maybe I should stay…no, if I have doubts, it's time to leave. I grabbed my bag and shut my door for the last time. I walked down the hall and knocked on Raven's door, "Who's there? Beast boy?" she called. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, but walked away.
I walked down the stairs for the last time, Cyborg greeted me with a huge hug. When he let go, he looked straight at my bag, "Where you going, BB?" he asked worriedly.
I shrugged, "Anywhere, but here." I answered and shook him off. When I tried to take a step Cyborg grabbed my shoulder, "Beast boy, your not gonna leave because of a little spat between you Rae…" he laughed, until he realized I was serious.
"Your not are you?" he whispered. I nodded and gave him one last hug, "I'll miss you, buddy." I murmured, "Me too." he choked. He gave me a slap on the back and wished me luck, next I ran into Star. "Friend, I have learned your are departing, I shall miss you." Star sobbed and gave me a GIANT hug. I hugged her back, but let go. "Tell Raven I said bye." I commanded her gently. Starfire nodded and moved so I could leave, Robin just gave me a nod, a smile and a hug, but then continued to train. I walked out of the tower for the last time, good bye, Teen titans…forever.
