A Broken Promise
Her tears were simultaneous with the rain knocking at her window.

"How could you do this to me, Rae! You knew exactly how I felt and you just let it slip right through your fingers!"
"Beastboy, I-"
"Save it! I've had enough of your excuses! You can't control your emotions, you can't feel or love, it's bull! That's all I ever get from you! Everything I have ever done was for you! From the bottom of my heart! And in return you gave me nothing but sarcastic remarks and silence! I can't take it anymore!" Beastboy bellowed; him towering over a cowering Raven.
"If you just let me explain!" Raven plead.
"I've heard enough! I don't care if I ever see you again!" he said before storming out of the tower with a suitcase in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. Right before closing the door behind him, he crumpled the paper into a ball, throwing it at her feet.
"How I ever fell in love with you, I'll never know."
End Flashback
Raven hadn't eaten, slept, or meditated in the days that followed Beastboy's resignment. She just sat there, in her room, staring out the window. He'd been gone for over a week, but her mind kept telling her he'd be back. She wouldn't take her eyes off that dark, gray sky, hopping she'd see that familiar green bird fly overhead, onto the roof. She knew she was kidding herself, after what she had done. She had messed up big this time, and there was no going back.
Flashback
Beastboy walked in the room to see blood flowing into the sink.
"Raven? Raven!" Beastboy called, grabbing Raven's attention. As she turned around she could see the reaction covering his face. Oh, how she wished she never turned her head! the look on his face, it will scar her memory for the rest of her life.
"Raven, you promised! You promised everyone, you... you promised me!" His voice, not loud and infuriated Raven had expected, but soft, disappointed, and heartbroken, made Raven's heart shatter into a million pieces.
"Beastboy, I can't take it anymore! It hurts! My life; physically, mentally, emotionally- I can't do it! I'm not worth living!" cried Raven.
"Is that how you see your life? The team isn't worth it? I'm not worth it?"
"No! I'm not worth living! Everything would be better off without me!" Raven said, sinking lower and lower to the floor; blood still dripping down her wrist.
"You promised us... me, Raven. I guess since you're not worth living, then neither am I because I can't live without you! I love you, Rae! Maybe if I wasn't here, you wouldn't be doing this to yourself." With that, Beastboy walked out of the bathroom and into his room and started packing, leaving Raven alone with tears creeping down her face.
End Flashback
"I love you, Beastboy. Always have, always will," said Raven, before taking her eyes away from the storm.
