Ever since the day Starfire left, I think we've all been losing our minds. Some of us, not as quickly as others, but eventually, we ended up in an identical situation; alone. It took Robin exactly four days. After four days, he left the Titans Tower in search of every villain the Titans had ever faced. During the next two weeks, the newspaper headlines were flooded with grotesque pictures of their corpses, with details of their brutal and bloody murders. Even Slade fell victim to Robin's delirious homicide spree and was mercilessly slaughtered. However, Robin did realize the terrible things he committed, and through himself into a long interval of guilt. We never heard of him again after that.

It took Raven a month before she left the Tower. I begged her from the moment she decided to leave from the moment she disappeared into a cloud of blackness. Starfire's leave had affected her greatly, even though she never chose to show it. Nothing seemed to change Raven.at all. After Robin left and drove himself crazy in his own mournful pain, perhaps Raven did the same. She just handled it in a different way than Robin did. She left quietly, and found a room in an abandoned building. She's been in there ever since.

I came to visit her every single day. Initially, she responded to me when I talked to her. They were mostly short answers, and not much to carry on a conversation with, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be with the girl I loved as much as I could, because she wasn't at home anymore. Most of the time, she didn't even turn around to face me in the large white room, but I stood there for hours anyway. As the months passed by, she refused to say a word. That didn't stop me from coming to see her. That didn't stop me from loving her a little bit more each and every day.

Five years passed, and during that time, Cyborg and I tried continuing the Titans. We stopped some burglaries and tiny murder and massacre schemes here and there, but for the most part, it was pretty quiet. The very few overconfident and powerful bad guys we rose to the occasion to fight against, we failed. A team of two was nothing to the team of five we used to be. After awhile, we stopped the whole hero shenanigan and stayed in the Titans Tower.

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

I came to visit Raven one day, longing to see her beautiful face one more time. I don't think she really ever had an idea of how gorgeous she really was with her silky lilac hair and her dark eyes full of mystery. To this day, I wish I could have told her back when the Titans were still together how stunning she was. Of course, being Raven, she would obviously deny it, but at least she would still know how I felt. Anyway, for the past five years, I had kept my distance when I talked to her, but after an hour, I walked up to her, placing my hand on her shoulder.

I felt a tremble jolt from the spot that I had touched her all the way through the rest of her blood. For the first time, she turned her head and looked up at me I don't think I will ever forget the look in her eyes; the melancholy darkness that had suddenly lit up with surprise, mixed with fear and adrenaline.

"Beast Boy." It was so good to hear her say my name again. "Beast Boy, what are you doing?"

I traced my fingers along her soft cheek, and smiled, my eyes blurring with tears. Even so, I could see her lovely face with much clarity. And then I said it; I said the very words I had wanted to say for years and years. Finally, I could hold them back no longer. I had to tell her how I felt about the most incredible girl I'd ever known in my life. "Raven, I love you," I whispered, placing my lips on hers. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close to my chest. I could feel her heart beating against my chest as she stood there in a trance. After a few seconds, she pressed her lips against mine, returning my affinity with passion. I pushed off her hood, so I could run my fingers through her hair but then all of a sudden she pushed me away with such an incredible force. She slammed me against the wall ten feet away with just an arm.

"Beast Boy, I don't want to see you anymore," she spoke in a monotonous tone.

"W-What?" I stammered. I didn't comprehend anything. She had just kissed me back, she had used her mysterious ways to tell him that she loved him in the same way he loved her. And now, she was telling him that she didn't want to see him anymore.

"Go home. Don't come here anymore. I don't want to see you anymore."

I winced. "Well, you've only actually seen me once with your own eyes in five years."

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" a demonic voice roared. "GO HOME AND NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"

I don't remember much about what happened after that. I remember opening the door, and looking back at her, one last time, before I closed the door behind me. I remember walking home, trudging in the snow that blanketed the ground with tears in my eyes. I remember coming home into the Titans Tower, going up into Raven's old bedroom and crying there for a long, long time.

Backbeat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

Six months later, I asked Cyborg if he could do me a favor; I didn't have the heart to face Raven again, in fear that I might hurt her, or make things worse for her. I asked Cyborg if he could check up on Raven for me, to see if she was all right. Actually, that's a pretty stupid thing for me to say. Of course she wasn't all right; I guess, as morbid as it sounds, I wanted to know if she was at least alive and "okay" for the most part. Sometimes, I wondered why I had to be in love with a girl so dark, a girl so cold, a girl so mysterious.but now, someone I understood one hundred percent.

I nearly jumped on Cyborg when he came back. I had been waiting outside the Tower since he left to see Raven, and as soon I saw him coming back in the distance, I sprinted over to him as fast as I could. I didn't even bother to transform into a quicker animal, though I think I got there pretty quickly in the first place.

"Hey man," Cyborg started sadly, "I don't think there's really much to tell."

"Come on, Cy. Tell me what happened!" I exclaimed. I had to know about her. I had to know how Raven was.

Cyborg sighed, his eyes trailing the floor. Could it really be that bad? I prayed that it wasn't, picturing Raven all alone in that white prison. "She didn't say anything when I tried to talk to her. She just stood in the middle of the room, her back turned. All I saw was her white cape--"

"Wait, her white cape?" I interrupted. "She was wearing a white cape?"

"Yeah," Cyborg nodded, "that means all her emotions are joined together, right?"

"I-I think," I shrugged, barely listening. What did that mean? Had she joined her selves together in her solitude? Was she cleansed of her so- called evil? How long had she been wearing a white cape? Or had she stopped trying, stop fighting her solitude? I thanked Cyborg, but I wished I could have shown more gratitude. He was the only friend I had with me, and the only one who had stuck with me. I wish I could have done the same for him.

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

I don't know how

A week later, I couldn't stand Raven's room anymore. I had slept in there every night since Raven left the Titans Tower. Being in there had meant everything to me; I could smell her, feel her, and sometimes, I even saw her in that room. It was the closest to Raven I could ever get to her, by staying in that room, I could hold onto her more easily. I could pretend that she hadn't left me; that the Teen Titans were still together. I could pretend that when I woke up, I could cook some good ole tofu eggs and pancakes, upholding my best friends' teasing and taunting about my diet. I could offer her breakfast and she'd put me down, drinking her usual herbal tea. I could pretend that I was fourteen again, with her, and the rest of my friends. Sometimes, playing this pretend game hurt more than the truth itself. Or maybe it was that when I played this game, the truth would hit me harder.

I tried sleeping in my room, but I had no luck; I hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. I tried every room in the house, trying to make myself comfortable, and fall into a slumber; no such luck either. Then the entire Titans Tower began to haunt me and torment me with its myriads of memories of laughter and smiles. It began to taunt me of the friendship five friends used to share years and years ago. After a few days, I made my decision; I would leave the Titans Tower.

To this day, I scream at myself for leaving Cyborg. For all these years, he never left my side and been there for me like a true friend. For all these years, when everyone else had taken leave, he stayed with me, and now, I was leaving him. I would leave him, like Starfire, like Robin, and like Raven. Sometimes, I think out of all of us, Cyborg was the one who was cheated out of his life the most. On top of that, I contributed to it.

But our roads separated, and while I went another way, Cyborg went the other. I knew perfectly well that no one would take me in, so I joined the most lowly place in the city; the circus's freak show.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me?

And after all

You're my wonderwall.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yeah, I was a freak, so what? At that point, nothing really mattered to me. The only person who could have saved me was Raven, but she need to be rescued before anything at all; and I wasn't capable of being a fairy tale prince. I met a man by the name of Vanvel Gardener who hired me for my shapeshifting abilities. So I became the "Amazing One Man Circus", transforming into different animals for the less-admiring public. I stayed in a cage, so the people outside couldn't hurt me more than I already had been. I stayed in the cage, with no desire in my heart to make my life any better.

I could not save myself, and no one could certainly save me.

Today was gonna be the day

But they'll never throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you're not to do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

The lack of exercise got to me, and I gained quite a lot of weight. The small caravan stunted my growth, and though I was barely twenty-four, I was already starting to lose hair. Every day I seemed to get worse and worse, but what surprises me the most was that I stayed alive anyway. I should have died after all I had been through, but I was still alive.

For some reason, every day, I found myself hoping that I would see Raven walking by. I don't know how that hope sprouted in the middle of a unfertile heart, but it did. More than anything, I wanted to see Raven again. I didn't want to see her as another hallucination or in another dream, but I wanted to see the real exquisite Raven again. Had that silly thought kept me alive for another few years? Had that impossible desire kept me fighting death and made me look forward to waking up every day?

Well that was kind of stupid then. I would never see her again. Death would end my suffering a lot more quickly than waiting the rest of my life to be disappointed.

Heh, I was beginning to sound pretty depressing.who would have thought that the light-hearted joker of the Teen Titans, was falling into a solitary dejection? I wondered if Raven was feeling the same way as I did now: alone and hopeless.

Did she really love me? I remember the kiss as if I were still holding in her in my arms right at this moment. After all, she did return the kiss and I remember shivering to the touch of her cold fingers dancing along my neck. After all, she did look at me with those glimmering eyes filled with a hope I had never seen in her. After all, she did submit to my arms that embraced her, fitting her body perfectly into mine. During that short moment, I was so convinced that she loved me the way I loved her. I really don't know why we kept it a secret for such a long time, but I wish that I confessed to her years ago. Maybe she wouldn't have left the Titans Tower. Maybe we would have still been together after all these years. Maybe the both of us could have been happy together.

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me?

And after all

You're my wonderwall

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There are so many "maybe"s, but I don't think there has ever been anything "for sure" in my life. Maybe it was the same thing with Raven.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me?

And after an

You're my wonderwall

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I guess the both of us were the same. Sure, it didn't seem like it years ago when I had a light-hearted personality and she had a recognizable dark attitude. I guess from the outside looking in, we were a pair of opposites. Only the both of us could ever know how much the same we really were. And maybe she's in her room, thinking about how much she needs me, in the same way that I really need her with me now. Maybe I can save her.maybe she can save me..

Just maybe.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Said maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me

You're gonna be the one that saves me

**Can't really tell if I did a good job with this one.but I guess it's all right. It could be better, but oh well.I'm being a lazy ass right now, and hopefully, I'll make it better later.**

**Hope you enjoyed it anyway.**
