Chapter Eight: Crushed
Beast Boy tried to fight Rainstorm off but, she held his arms tightly in her hands. Since when does she have super strength? Why can't I use my powers? He continued to fight, but she only squeezed his arms tighter. Beast Boy's eyes shifted to kitchen doorway and his heart skipped a beat. He continued to fight but it was too late. Raven had seen them kissing.
Raven's whole body glowed black. Cabinets flew open, their contents spilling out.
"I thought you didn't want her" she shouted before quickly flying from the room.
Rainstorm finally released Beast Boy and he took off after Raven. He saw her door slam shut from half way down the hall. Even still he ran to her door and pounded with his fists. The door remained shut.
"Rae, Rae! C'mon open the door! Raven! Open the door! I know what you saw but it's not what you think! I didn't kiss her Rae, I didn't"
His fists ached so he stopped pounding. With his back against the door, he dropped himself to the floor.
"Let me tell you what happened. Let's see, I woke up and went into the kitchen. You weren't up yet and I didn't have the heart to wake you so I started myself some tofu. Then, I got bored so I decided to start some water for your tea. The water started to boil so I went to the stove and then I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around thinking it was you when she just kissed me! I tried to pull away, I swear, but she had hold of me! I couldn't move, couldn't use my powers! I don't know what she did, but I was pretty much defenseless. C'mon Rae, you know I wouldn't lie to you"
Beast Boy remained in the same spot for about ten more minutes before giving up. If it hadn't been for Rainstorm, he wouldn't even be in this mess! Suddenly anger took over him and he stormed his way into the kitchen where he found Rainstorm seated at the kitchen table sipping tea; Raven's tea.
"What the heck were you thinking" he yelled at her.
"I was thinking about us" she said calmly and took another sip from her cup.
"Us! Us! We aren't anything! In case you haven't noticed, I have a girlfriend"
"Correction: had a girlfriend."
"You know what? Shut up! Just shut up! I don't want to hear your trash! And I don't want you drinking that" he spat gesturing towards the cup of tea in her hands.
Rainstorm ignored his last remark and continued sipping from the cup.
"I said I don't want you drinking that" Beast Boy shouted knocking the cup from her hands.
The cup shattered to pieces on the floor, tea spilling everywhere. Beast Boy stomped out of the room and went to his favorite spot: the roof. He sat with his face in his hands, trying to think of how he could fix what had happened between him and Raven. Behind him, he could hear footsteps approaching him and turned to face a worried looking Robin.
"You ok" he asked sitting beside him.
"Except for the fact that I'm now officially single, I guess I'm alright."
"You really like her don't you"
"Yeah, but I guess it doesn't really matter anymore since..." he trailed off.
"What happened exactly? I mean, when did you and Raven, you know, hook up" Robin asked looking over at Beast Boy.
"Well, it's kinda a long story...but ok." Beast Boy told Robin how he and Raven had found of their feelings for each other and how Rainstorm liked Beast Boy and wanted him to be with her.
Robin nodded as Beast Boy spoke. Beast Boy was happy that there was someone he could talk to that would understand and listen, unlike Cyborg who would tell the whole world the first secret he heard. Robin looked stunned when Beast Boy explained what had happened just that morning.
"Rainstorm did that"
"Yeah, I was kinda surprised that Raven didn't kill her"
"So...what are you going to do about Raven"
"I-I don't know. I don't think Rae will ever even look at me again" he said his expression heartbroken.
"She'll come around" Robin said patting his back.
"How would you know? You and Star have the perfect relationship"
"Trust me."
Raven
lay in her bed thinking about what she had saw. Beast Boy and
Rainstorm flashed in her mind and Raven could feel the tears coming
to her eyes. How could he do this to me? I trusted him! How could
he make all these promises to me and then turn around and kiss her!
Why would he kiss her? He said he didn't even like her! It's not the
end of the world, she reminded herself. I don't need
him.
Raven wasn't angry as much as much as she was sad.
She was alone again and always would be.
