Because of You

Security

OK. I know I haven't updated any story in a very long time. But I had writer's block and I never got around to writing. So I came up with this story and I thought it was a very good idea.So I hope you like it.I have come a long way from the old writer.

Rain. Rain, rain and more rain. To this lavender haired girl, rain was her best friend. It calmed her. Made her feel safe. Allowed her to feel as though she had security. But she didn't have security. Not anymore. It was taken from her. It happened two nights before when it happened. She never like to talk about it. In fact she wasn't allowed to talk about it. If she did she would've been beaten. She was too afraid. She didn't think it was possible for it to happen to her. She always thought, ' It can happen to them, but not to me.' But, she was wrong. It can happen to anyone.

Her amethyst eyes had fear in them as she looked out from the massive 'T' building. Her ocean blue cloak blew around her as she sat Indian style on the roof. She didn't meditate. She couldn't. Everything that went through her mind terrified her to much to sort through it all. All the other titans wondered was she was so withdrawn. Well, more then usual. They all wondered why. Except Robin. He knew what her problem was. Because he was the cause of it. And whenever they asked him, he said he didn't know. Such a dirty liar.

Raven was even suggested to a therapist to help her through her problem. But she always screamed at them when they brought it up. So they never brought it up again. Raven always tried to leave the room when Robin was the only one there. But he always caught her. She was absolutely terrified of Robin. She never wanted to be around him. When he was too close to her, she would tense up. And Robin always knew she did. Sometimes at night he would visit her and she never turned him away. Sometimes he would just talk, other times he would get touchy- feely. She tried her best to hide her feelings from him but never was successful.

Raven constantly thought of running away from the Titans but she never was able to find the courage to do so. She had a suitcase , backpack , and money in her closet. Everything there was packed and ready t be taken with her, but it never left her closet. Leaving scared her to death. She didn't know what Robin would do if he found her when she left. She couldn't bear the thought of what would happen. Raven always thought of the positive things every second of the day. It was what kept her there with her friends and Robin.

She no longer considered Robin her friend. She didn't think of him as anything but her leader. Right now she thought of what he was to her other then a leader. She couldn't think of anything. She laid down on her back and looked at the clouds and they looked like mashed potatoes. She laughed slightly. Then she saw Robin standing in front of her. Right over her head.

"Emergency downtown."he said simply.He smiled afterward and left her.

"I'll be there soon."She said in a happy tone. Then tears filled her eyes and she wiped them away.She got up and left with the others to the emergency.

When the Titans arrived it was Red-X robbing a jewelry store. He looked to them and laughed. His black tattered cape blew as the wind blew a giant gust of wind. Red-X counted each Titan because there was something different about them.

"One, two, three, four...,"he began."Where's the mistress of dark?"

"What do you mean?"Robin asked him and saw Raven wasn't with them.

"Oh there she is. Behind the human can opener. She was just hiding from my view."He said smiling under his mask.

"TITANS GO!!"Robin shouted and all the titans attacked. But it was over faster then it began. Actually it was over before then. They were talking to a hologram. Cyborg was short circuited, Beast boy was stuck in red goop, Starfire was the same as Beast Boy and Raven was gagged with an "x"over her mouth.

When they returned after an embarrassing defeat they all flopped down on the couch. Except Raven who went to her room. When Raven got to her room she began writing a good bye note. Her purple stationary with a black rose in the bottom right corner was scented with the scent of lavender when she was done. It wasn't like her to do that but it was the last thing she wanted before she left.

Raven changed into some blue jeans and a white long sleeve shirt. And over that was a purple T-shirt. She removed her chakra and began brushing her hair. Since she let it grow out it took it little longer then when it was short. She put on some white tennis shoes with black laces and put her pant legs over the bow ties on them. She put on her pack and then took it back off. She went to her nightstand drawer and pulled out some lip gloss that Starfire gave her once for Christmas. She applied a thick coat and grabbed her note. She kissed it where she signed her name. It left her lips on the paper then she wiped off the gloss and left her note on fridge.

Raven walked out with her pack and case and went to the bus stop. She waited there for the bus so she could get a ride to the airport. She didn't want have to be the city anymore then she had to. She then took out her communicater and broke it against the bench. Then she threw the scraps behind her in the bushes. She was going to be sitting there fore awhile being it was three in the morning. Then she looked toward the rooftops for no reason and saw that Red-X was up on one of them watching her.

He jumped down to her and stood behind her.

"Why are you out here so late?"he asked kindly.

"I'm leaving the city."she answered simply.

"Why?"

"Do I ask you questions constantly? No. So leave me alone. I don't want to deal with anyone from this stupid city." she said angrily.

"Calm down. I was just asking." Then he sat down next to her and sighed.

"You're not going to kidnap me or something?"

"No. But why don't you stay with me? I have plenty of space at my house."

Raven shook her head. "No. I'm not very trusting of anybody."

"Come on. It's better then staying here waiting for four hours."he pointed out.

"That's true. Fine. But Later I leave no questions asked OK?"she said seriously.

"Alright. I won't force you."

Red-X showed her his place and showed her her room. He said it was just incase she decided to saty. She shrugged off the thought actually felt something she hadn't felt in the longest time. Safe. And from a thief too.
