A/N: Hi guys! Thank you for the reviews! Your kind words have really inspired me to write another chapter, and I'm writing this chapter at school during my free. I also realized that I used Raven's "cover name" (Rachel) for Robin's sister! I'm not going to change it, so Rachel is going to still be Robin's sister's name. I would also like some suggestions for rock/metal songs because I have no clue about rock/metal bands, and because of that I'm using some songs that I personally love. So hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Two
SHE
I was sitting backstage waiting for Starfire to come back with my drink and something for me to eat. How long does it take to get a can of root beer and burrito? Annoyed, I pushed back the curtain that separated me from everyone else out there waiting for a performance. I walked into something hard and warm?
I looked up to see that I had walked into very cute guy, I shoved those thoughts away, those days were over. I cocked my hip and placed a hand on it. He just kept staring at me; but as I studied his face further I realized that he had blue eyes, magnificent blue eyes, they reminded me of…NO! I pushed down my thoughts once again. I'm not the same person that I once was. I was snapped out of reverie when Blue eyes said something.
"Pardon? I didn't quite catch that." I cupped my ear of emphasis.
"Sorry, I was trying to get a sneak at the next band." He poked his head around the curtain only to come away looking disappointed. "But it looks like they're not in."
I chuckled. He turned around only to stumble slightly, almost tripping over his own feet. Boy Blunder, not Blue eyes.
"Actually I think one of them is at the bar, getting something to drink." I said as I stretched my neck in attempt to look for Starfire. I turned around again and stuck my hand out. "I'm Raven, and you are?"
He let the question hang for a moment before he replied.
"Rich, everyone calls me Robin." he grabbed my hand and shook it lightly.
"Cool. Maybe you should get out of here, the next band is about to come in and prep for the next performance."
Robin raised an eyebrow at me. "How do you know?"
I grinned slyly. "That's for me to know and you to find out."
I disappeared behind the curtain and ducked behind one of boxes, so that Robin wouldn't see me. I heard the curtain open again and some called out my name. It wasn't Robin's deep bass voice, but instead a serene feminie voice that belonged only to Starfire. I jumped up from my hiding place behind the boxes.
"Do you have my food Star? I'm starving!"
"Raven! Why were you hiding behind those boxes? Did you lose one of your earrings? Did you need my assistance to look for the earring? Perhaps we should –"
Star was cut off by Gar slapping his hand over her mouth. I smiled; Gar had really grown up after sophomore year. I still remembered when he was shorter than me during freshman year. He was tall but not as tall as my older brother: Jason.
"I don't think Raven's going to need your help to find her earring Star. Now do you promise to calm down if I let you go?"
Starfire nodded her head vigorously, trying to escape Gar's grip. He laughed and let her go. She smiled at him and hugged him around his waist. Ah, young love.
"Come on guys, no PDA. We have to get ready for our performance!"
I rolled my eyes at my brother. As much as I love Jason, he can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
"Yeah, we're prepping already, we're just waiting for you!" I replied in a monotone voice.
It was his turn to roll his eyes. I grinned. I slung on my guitar and strummed it a few times to make sure it was tuned properly. To signal the beginning of our performance, the light were turned off completely, he only thing that lit the stage was our fluorescent coloured gloves. Jason started strumming to our first song: Hangover.
HE
When the lights were turned off I was talking to Vic about the next band that was playing and about my encounter with Raven. He laughed at me; that was defiantly the comfort that I needed. I turned my head towards the stage area, where all I saw were fluoro coloured hands. Then there was a guitar strumming, then another jumped in and blended in with it, drums started a steady beat and finally the lights were turned back on, and the music joined by another guitar that completed the sound a beautiful voice that blended with the music so well, it was as if the voice and music were in perfect harmony. I closed my eyes and let the voice sing.
Hit me out of nowhere like a car crash on the street,
Suddenly colliding into me,
Now I'm broken, bruised and beat up
Tangled in my sheets,
How can this feel so bad when you seemed so good for me?That voice was so familiar. I had heard somewhere earlier tonight. My eyes snapped open in realization. It was Raven. Raven was standing on that stage singing. That sly little fox. I felt a smile creep on to my face as my body moved to the song.
Oh my god, what's wrong with my head?
Sweating with the chills, still in my bed,
Tell me how I'll ever make it through
It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes,
The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes
Makes me wanna die,
I've got the worst hangover from you
Swimming in the deep and trying to keep from turning blue,
Danger, danger, hoping not to drown
(Somebody get me out of here)
Sinking in the quicksand just to walk right up to you
You're so easy to pick up and so hard to put down
Her eyes roamed the crowd, her eyes meeting almost everyone's the crowd. When her eyes landed on me, they widened slightly, but her performance didn't waver at all.
Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? All that I really wanted was a habit I could drop anytime that I wanted to, ( And no medicine, is gonna kill it) Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? Oh my god, what's wrong with my head?
Sweating with the chills, still in my bed,
Tell me how I'll ever make it through
It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes,
The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes
Makes me wanna die,
I've got the worst hangover from you
And what I really got was you
Sweating with the chills, still in my bed,
Tell me how I'll ever make it through
It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes,
The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes
Makes me wanna die,
I've got the worst hangover
Sweating with the chills, still in my bed,
Tell me how I'll ever make it through
It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes,
The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes
Makes me wanna die,
I've got the worst hangover from you.
Her eyes were searching for someone's when she found them, she smiled. She was smiling at…me. I grinned back, waving my arms in the air cheering loudly. She walked up right to the edge of the stage and took deep bow. Then another boy, with blond hair, came up behind her and grabbed the microphone she had, and screamed:
"HELLO LIQUID! WE ARE BLACK ROSEAND WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS NEXT SONG!" Everyone cheered in response, as the boy continued his introduction. "I'm Gar, but everyone calls me Beast Boy or BB. The lovely redhead to my right, on backup guitar here is Kori, call here Starfire. Tall, dark and mysterious on my left is Jason, he plays bass and does backup vocals, and finally our awesome lead singer and our acoustic guitarist Raven!"
The crowd cheered louder, including me. I had a feeling that I was going to be attending a lot more Black Rose gigs.
