Stories
I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
I felt so empty and now I'm fine
But it's still burning when will you be mine
I don't know how it came down to this but it did. On the edge of Titans Tower I stood, looking at the long line of horizon. The sun was setting and the moon was starting to come out. Not that you could really tell, because of how hard it was raining still. Always raining no matter what… and I couldn't stop thinking of him. He… who had given my life a purpose.
That didn't matter anymore. He had… Terra. Someone who he could love with all of his passion, and who would love him back. A girl who didn't have to be cold to him all the time, someone who didn't have to worry every waking moment that they would be the destruction of all that there was. I had loved him secretly for so long… but… could not show it.
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
The final stage could set him free. He wouldn't have to worry about me any longer. He could be free.
I looked
down at the ground below me. Would this do it? Would this kill me? I knew I
could easily save myself with my powers, but I did not wish to. Not only would
this set him free of me, it could set me free of myself.
Now look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I no need to stay
I took a step forward and let one of my feet dangle of the edge of the building. I took a deep breath and –
"Raven! Stop!" Beast Boy came running out of the door up to the roof. He stopped two feet in front of me.
"What are you doing!?" he gasped while hunched over.
I turned away from him so he wouldn't see me start to cry. A light near the door exploded causing it to become darker.
"You can't Raven. You can't give up now!"
"This is the way it's supposed to be." I tried to smile at him. "I need to go, it's for the best, I promise you that."
The pain I felt inside my heart swelled up and my chest grew tense.
"No, this is not the way it's meant to be! Don't sound like some cheap psychic!" He took a step toward me. I stepped back.
"Look BB, it will be best without me. You'll see." I stepped off the building and levitated. "Good-bye."
I let go and felt tears overwhelm me as I was rushed to the ground below. I felt intense pain in all of my body before I blacked out and was able to let go.

Beast Boy instantly transformed into a crow and searched for her falling figure in the rain, but could not see her anywhere. He prayed she was alive, she was only kidding, she… anything. He flew to ground in hopes of not finding her, but… he did.
In a bloody heap, there she was. A rain drenched face, lying in a pool of blood. Her face looked relaxed somehow, as if… this really was the way it was meant to be. He picked up her body and put his head against her chest. Tears came to his eyes as he realized the truth.
She was gone. She was dead.
He looked up into the night sky and saw it was raining harder now, as if the sky were crying with him. He whispered some words into her ears.
"I love you…"
He turned to walk back into the tower with her body. He stopped and turned around.
"No… this was not the way it's supposed to be."

author stuff… Hey, I just realized, I absolutely suck at angst! Oh well, whatever. It was a neat concept in my head at least. And… me imagining it… was nice. It's just a one chapter story so whatever. Notice the wonderful phrase, I think the travelers in Pendragon (by D.J. McHale) say that a lot!
Disclaimer – teen titans don't belong to me. (no matter how much I wish!) neither does the song 'Stories' by Trapt. So… yeah. Stay healthy, don't blame me.
