I just love reading all your reviews! Their kind, thoughtful and sometimes beg me to bring Raven back. Now I have a plan to... ease the pain. So enjoy Chapter 10 and please review after you've read it :) Enjoy!
Chapter 10: He ran away...
It had been 5 days since the funeral. Kid Flash, Jinx, Jericho and Hot Spot were packing up, so the Titans could get back to work. Starfire was trying to make everyone happy by making her special Lorgthob from Tameran, Cyborg was down in the garage working on his Car and Robin was at the GYM working out. Everyone was moving on, except for Beast boy.
In the past few days, After he heard her voice that night, he was determind to bring her back, so he still read books and fixed up potions but nothing was working. Starfire still put food out for him and as usual he wouldn't eat it. He started losing a lot of weight, becoming much weaker then usual. Cyborg then visited Beast boy in hopes that he could get him to eat again.
"Beast boy?" He said, as he faced the door, "I want to talk to you."
Beast boy was in the middle of a potion but when it's white colour faded to black, he knew he had failed again. He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He took a deep breath in, before opening the door.
"Hey Cy." He answered, "What's up?"
Cyborg was trying to look in his room to see what he was doing but Beast boy blocked his view.
"I was wanting to talk to you about this... eating problem your having." He explained.
"I don't have an eating problem." Beast boy lied.
Cyborg was trying to be a supportive as he could, but was getting a little annoyed that Beast boy wouldn't let him help.
"I don't like when your lying to me."
Those words hit Beast boy like a ton of bricks. He knew he hadn't been eating a lot but he didn't think he was having problems.
"I'm not." Beast boy lied, once again.
"Then why is it the only time we see you, is when your getting some herbal tea and not any lunch or dinner?" Cyborg snapped.
"Well I-"
"Or when ever we go out for pizza, you say no and stay in your room." Cyborg continued.
"That's not fair-"
"Or... Or whenever Star slaves in the Kitchen for hours to bring you some food, you open the door, look at it and go back to your room?" He finished.
"How do you know I open the door? You haven't seen me do it?" Beast boy added.
Cyborg rolled his eyes, he looked very... Well let's just say, not very happy. He pointed to a camara in the corner of the hall.
"That helps me to keep an eye on you! I've been rewatching old footage and I've only recently seen you not eating much." Cyborg did try to sound nice during the end of the sentence, but his angry created a more forceful tone.
Beast boy was taken a back by this. Did he really have problems? Why was it so difficult to pick up a slice of pizza? Did Star really go through all that trouble to make earth food? Beast boy felt so helpless and weak.
"I'm sorry." He muttered, before going back to his room and closing the door.
Cyborg was at the other end ready to burst down the door but knew it wouldn't help anyone. He walked away, muttering some very bad words under his breath.
Beast boy had enough. He wasn't helping anyone, he was just in his room imagining things that would never happen. Angry at himself, Beast boy walked to his cupboard, pulled out a big, grey bag and slammed it on his bed. He walked over to his draws and began pulling out any clothing he could find. He didn't want to do this, but he felt like he had no choice.
He stuffed his clothes in, before gently placing books, potions and Raven's mirror at the top. He zipped up the rather heavy bag whiles standing up. Beast boy then sat down on his bed, thinking about what he's doing.
"Why am I doing this?" He questioned in his mind.
The changeling was getting frustrated with himself. If he stayed he would be reminded of being weak and unstable, but If he left, then the team would look for him and be to distracted from doing any work.
"A letter?" A voice appeared in his head. "If you write a letter, maybe they'll relies they're better off."
Beast boy quickly found a pen and paper as he would use them for writing spells and planning out ingredients for a potion. The next problem was what to write. He made a couple of attempts first.
"Hey guys... I'm fine just gonna be chilling on my own."
"The reason why I'm writing this..."
"I know I haven't been helpful..."
"So I was in my room and I was thinking..."
The problem with these, was that non of them spoke from the heart. Beast boy took at deep breath in and began to focus. He picked up his pen once more to write.
"Dear Team.
Over the past 2 weeks, thing haven't been the best, in fact, it's been the worst experience of my life. I haven't been sleeping right or eating well, which has caused me to get weak and unable to help. I've decided to leave and make my own way from now on. I'm asking you all, as a friend, to trust me and not to look for me. I'm always going to be helping people but I need some time to get my head straight.
Catch you later..."
Beast boy finally finished his letter. He looked over it a couple of times whiles tears streamed down his face. He realised that it was now dark out side, so he checked his clock to see it was 03:25am. He decided that it would be best to leave now, whiles everyone was asleep.
When he entered the main room, he placed the letter on the tv, so the team would notice. He had one final glass of herbal tea, before flying off into the darkness of the night.
