Is It Worth It?
A/N: Just so you guys know, I have a lot of ideas so most of my chapters will be really short! Oh, and this is for alena's comp. thing!

"Dick, why can't you understand that I don't love him!" Raven Roth couldn't stand that her best friend would actually believe that she was in love with Garfield Logan. The past few days have been hectic for the young woman as she wandered her focus to Dick Grayson, her new found best friend.

They had met in their freshman year of College and couldn't help but feel attracted to each other's qualities. It had been quite a time for both, as they explored and intrigued each other even more little by little. It was pretty clear that the two were meant to be.

But, in their sophomore year, Helena Huntress had applied and been accepted to the Ivy League school and therefore captured Dick's heart.

For a long time, Helena and Dick were romancing one another, leaving Raven in the dust as if she were never there. Dick, unbeknownst to Raven, was using Helena as a way to get her jealous.

Unluckily for him, Raven was jealous. Unluckily for him again, he started developing feelings for the Raven look alike.

That's right. If Dick was gong to date someone other than Raven, at least the girl would look like her. Both girls had really black hair and their eyes were pretty alluring once you were captured in their attention.

Now, in their junior year, Dick and Helena have still been going out, and just recently, Raven decided to get revenge as well. She interpreted that Dick and Helena would have already had a strong foundation for their relationship, so, she decided to seek love for herself.

And lo and behold, Garfield Logan, the previous boyfriend of Tara Markov, had already set his eyes on Raven. He was funny, good-looking, and had a personality. He was perfect for the 'jealousy' tactic.

A few weeks have gone by and Dick had been getting pretty angry that Raven was already moving on. A couple of times, the idea that Raven should move on seemed to pop in his head but he quickly dispensed it away.

He couldn't stand the fact that Raven was being courted by another guy – this wasn't going how he planned. The infamous plan Dick had set up was that he would ask Raven for courtship a few weeks after a relationship with Helena had transpired.

He never in his life expected this. Now, feeling guilty that he and Raven no longer can be together because of his whole 'jealousy' tactic, the two finally revealed their feelings for one another but realized that it was too late.

Raven is now desperate.

Dick is in denial.

"Don't be like that Raven. I know you've fallen for him!"

"You know what? You are one big jerk for actually redirecting this at me! How dare you do that when you were the one who started this whole fiasco! I know you've grown feelings for Helena!"

"It was only so that we could be together! I wanted to get you to like me back." Dick yelled back.

"Oh, so again, this is my fault how?" Raven cooed.

"Look, I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm just saying a little encouragement could go a long way! You barely noticed me in our first year of college. How was I supposed to know you felt the same way I did?"

"I don't know? Take a chance?" Raven smartly insisted.

"So what do we do now?"

"I—I can tell Gar to—AGHH!" Raven held on to her temples, holding and caressing it.

"I don't want to do this anymore. I can't. I mean, we have relationships now." Dick sadly said, leaning against the dorm wall.

This had all been occurring inside Raven's dorm room. Raven was actually on her way to see Dick but Dick went to her room on his own.

"We just give up?" Raven continued.

"I don't know what to do." Dick answered.

"Is our love worth it?"

"Will you be here, with me, for all of eternity?" Dick asked.

"Yes..."

"Yes, it is worth it then."

With that, the two star-crossed lovers share a kiss, hidden from the commitments they had already made to others.
