well, to day was a dark day for me, and now...im going to let out my little bit of anger, sadness, and well...any other emotions i may have, out.
yeah, today...it really sucked
explosions, gunfire...rockets...
one of my best buddies got hit, and i held him as he died.
that will make any day a bad day.
But, on with the show.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Garfield Logan is holding on to his girlfriend, Raven Roth. He is about to do something noone could predict. Rachel is xtanding there, cryinginto his arms, begging him not to go. The normally cool empath has lost it, and the world around is feeling the consiquinces.
"Why do you have to go?" She questioned, "You already do a great thing."
"I know Rea, I know. But i belive this to be right." Beast Boy say's softly, stroking her hair.
"but, it's so dangourous!" She protested, "Uou could be killed!"
"I could have been killed fighting rage, Fighting Trigon, For getting to know you," Beast Boy whispered, "And for falling in love with you."
"I know, but...why now? why not later?" Raven asked
"Because i feel it's right, it's something that every guy goes through, he decides is path. Every man thinks about it at least once in his life."
"I just don'y understand it Gar...Not at all." Raven whispers, "I can sense the fear within you, but, i can also sense the determination."
"I am afraid, but i know i'm not afraid for my own life, i am afriad to leave you behind. Raven, you are my world, and this new world is going to deprive me from you, for a while...but it's something i want to do, something i have to do."
"i know, but why?" She replied sadly, "i just wish you didn't have to go."
"You know, i won't go, if you really don't want me too."
"What!" She cried, looking at her boyfriend. She took in the full look of him. Dressed in Desert boots, ACU combat uniform, boonie cap, M249 SAW, and a large duffel bag. She considered asking him to, but breaking his commitment was something that he didn't want to do.
"no, i want you to stay, but i know how much you need to do this." Rachel said, tears in her eyes.
"Thank you Raven, i want you to know how much i appreciate you. I will always love you, and if something happens to me..."
"Nothing will happen to you, and even if you do something stupid, like get yourself killed, i will bring you back, and kill you myself., "she said this with a menacing look in her eyes.
"Thanks, Raven, I needed that."
"It's what i'm here for. And by the way, i have a gift for you." She grabs his hand, and puts into it, a small necklace. It looks just like...a raven. It is the necklace she wore around after the defeat of her father.
"Raven...i can't..." Beast Boy begin.
"Take it...it's a good luck charm." She smiles, and she pulls him in for a sweet kiss.
"I won't take it off, i promise." Beast boy tells her.
"Just come back."
"I will...i got to go now. I'll be home soon."
With that Raven, like so many other girlfriends and wives that day, saw the last of their loves, boarding a bus, to get on a plane, to go help with the war in iraq. But beast boy was the only one who wasn't obligated to go. But to himself, he was.
6 months later
Raven recieves a package at the door. She see's it has a military address on it, and she feels happy to be getting something from Beast Boy. She opens the box, and in it, it contains two necklaces. A set of Dog Tags, and her necklace. Raven does ot know how to react, and then, she drops and begins to cry. Her love has perished, and she will never see him again. A hand is placed on her shoulder, and she hears a gruff voice ask, "whats the matter Rea?"
"Dammit Beast Boy, leave me alone, i..." She looks up at the man she loved, a smile on his face. She jumped up and hugged him, planting kisses on his face. Suddenly, she pulls away, realizing something. Beast Boy Looked at her, confused. Suddenly, he was picked up by dark energy, and thrown across the room. She then started sending every piece of furniture and cooking gear his way.
"Rea, whats the matter?"
