Chapter 4: Scars last forever

Author's note: I don't own Teen Titans or any characters involved. Also I've never been a fan of trigger warnings but I felt that this should be stated anyway. This chapter deals with bullying and violence.

Last time on Some things never change: Beast boy and Terra were passing notes and were caught by the teacher who thought they were flirting! After that Beast boy got lost on his way to class and ended up behind the school where he was cornered by a gang! What will happen next!? Is Beast boy going to survive?! WHY AM I YELLING?!

Beast boy cowered at the menacing glow of the silver blade. Slasher admired the blade in his hand as he crouched over Beast boy.

"Oh you like?"

Beast boy remained silent

"Yeah I bet you do. You see it takes a long time to actually get it this clean. You know from all the blood I get on it?" Slasher laughed at his own joke as Beast boy continued to stare at the blade. Slasher suddenly got angry and struck Beast boy on the side of the head with the bottom of the handle.

"Oh was it not funny enough for you 'Garfield'?"

Beast boy was angry now and he was having a lot of trouble controlling his animal instincts. Annoyed with his lack of reaction Slasher suddenly started striking the poor boy in the face.

"Oh am I not funny 'Garfield'? Why are you green 'Garfield'? Why do you think you can pass notes with MY GIRL 'GARFIELD'?!" He accented the shapeshifters name with another strike of his fist. By the end of it Beast boy was bloody and his eyes were swollen. Slasher stood up and kicked Beast boy in the ribs.

"Well I'll give you something that's guaranteed to make you laugh," he said as he pulled Beast boy up by his hair. He picked up his knife from where it had been dropped and slid the cold steel across his cheek. Beast boy cringed as he felt his blood slide down his face. Slasher started laughing before he kicked the boy over onto his face. He slashed the clothes off of his back and began carving into his flesh.

He continued his maniacal laughter as he carved obscene words and images onto the green shapeshifter's back. Beast boy laid there and took it all. He could've easily overpowered the boy above him but what would Robin say? No, the best he could do is to not show weakness. Beast boy held back his tears and not a single sound was heard as his torture continued.

The two boys behind Slasher were laughing but were suddenly cut off. Beast boy heard a yell before saw both boys fly over head and collapse onto the ground unconscious. Slasher turned around and tried to see what had caused the flying and saw Terra levitating two large rocks above her head with her arms raised.

"I'm going to give you two seconds to let him go before I throw both of these rocks right at your head and believe me I won't miss," She said threateningly with her arms still outstretched to the sky. Slasher paled at the massive display of power but still stood his ground.

"No he was trying to make a move on you and I can't allow anyone to do that! You're supposed to be mine!" Terra threw her left arm down in front of her body and the rock to her left suddenly streaked towards the raven haired boy. He threw up his arms in defense before feeling a sudden gust of air blow against him.

"I am no one's you got that," Terra said as she held her left hand in a fist.

"Y-y-you little bitch! I was doing this for you! I was doing this for us! What don't you ger about that?!" Slasher suddenly felt something grab his right leg and looked down to see the earth pulling him down. He sank to one knee as his right leg was pulled into the earth.

"Did I tell you to do this? No you just got in your head this fantasy that you and I were going to be together forever but guess what it's not going to happen!" Terra loomed over the boy and spit on his face. Slasher felt the saliva slowly crawl across his face and he looked down in defeat. Terra walked over to where Beast boy laid in ragged clothes.

"You're lucky I'm even letting you live you worthless bastard," she said as she walked away with Beast boy's arm over her shoulder as she helped him walk.

Slasher suddenly looked up and glared. There was that word again. Worthless. All of his life he had never been good enough. They said that he never tried hard enough. That he was... he was... worthless.

He watched as Terra walked away and then looked down. How was he supposed to get his leg out of the ground? He pulled on it a few times but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly he saw one of his past victims and called out for their helped but they took one look and ran away. It seemed like it was going to be a long weekend.

Beast boy looked over to Terra and he saw what looked like a tear go down her face.

"How did you know I was there?"

"Well I happened to have the same class as you for next period and when the teacher called your name I remembered that you had gone in the complete opposite direction. Then I asked to go to the bathroom so I could come find you."

"But why Terra? I thought you hated me."

She turned her head to face him and they both stopped. "I'm so sorry Beast boy I didn't mean to treat you like that it was just that... things were never the way you remembered them and I was just too weak to face you after everything I had done." Suddenly Terra burst into tears and she hugged Beast boy close.

"I'm so happy you're okay Beast boy. I don't know what would've happened if I was just a second late."

Beast boy wrapped his arms around her as he spoke, "It's fine. I'm fine. You don't need to cry." Yet despite his words she continued to cry and Beast boy let her. Eventually she had cried out all of the tears that she had been trying to keep inside ever since the betrayal. She looked at Beast boy with watery eyes and leaned in. He leaned forward and their lips met. It was their first kiss and they could almost hear the fireworks going on around them.

When they finally broke apart for air Terra looked into Beast boy's eyes and held his hand.

"I promise I'll never leave you again." they both said at the same time before bursting into laughter. Even with the pain of the knife and the blindness caused by his swollen eyes Beast boy had never been as happy as he was now and to Terra he couldn't have been more beautiful.
