Hey everyone, i'm in a really good mood today, so i thought that i would update my fic.

Disclaimer: Still don't own the Titans, but i do own my sketches of them!

Part 10: Photo Album

It was about 11pm and all of the Titans had gone to bed. Outside it was pouring rain, and up in Frost's room, all of her lights were still on. She couldn't sleep for two reasons; 1. She was still pissed off that she had to do the ballet and 2. The sound of the rain was keeping her up.
'This sucks, I don't have a decent window in this room!' She thought, frustrated.
'Well, all of the Titans would be asleep by now, so I may as well go and look out the one in the T.V room.' She thought as she got out of bed and from under it, pulled out the pink box that she had teleported there the night before. Out of the box, she took a photo album and some loose photos.

"I think it's time to finish this." She said and walked out of her room and down to the T.V room. When she got there, she sat down on the windowsill and just stared out at the city and listened to the steady drumbeats of the rain.
'Wow, the city looks so amazing.' She thought, the rain mixed with the lights had given the city an eerie and unreal look.
'Almost as if it's there by magic and will disappear if you don't believe.' Frost thought.

After a while, she picked up her photo album and opened it up to about halfway through it. She then started putting photos in and writing a comment next to each one. She did this for two hours until she finally got to the last one...the picture that she had found in Robin's room.

For the first time in years, Frost actually looked closely at the photo. It had been taken when she and Robin were nine, before Frost had become so cold and before she punched the face in of anyone who called her Sammy. In the picture, she and Robin were sitting on a swing set and had their arms wrapped around each other in a hug. On their faces were matching smiles of pure, innocent, childish joy. They looked as if they didn't have a care in the world, and everything in theirs and everyone else's lives were fine.
'If only…' Frost thought, and then remembered back to the day when the photo had been taken.

FLASHBACK

"Come on Sammy, if we don't get to the park in time then we'll miss out!" Robin called to Sam, they were running to the park to meet up with their friends Karen (Bumblebee), Lex (Aqualad, I have no idea what his real name is, and I thought this one suited him, if anyone knows what is name actually is, could they please let me know?), and Roy (Speedy).
"Don't worry, they won't start without us!" Sam replied, but even so, they both sped up and five minutes later arrived at the park.

"Hey guys, sorry we're late." Sam said, running up to her friends and giving her best friend Karen a hug.
"Don't worry about it, we weren't waiting all that long." Lex replied.
"So, what's the fun new thing you've thought of?" Robin asked.
"Well, you know we used to ride down hills in those little cart things we had?" Roy asked,
"Yeah…?" Sam asked
"Well, I found a better way to do that." Roy replied
"Oh yeah, how?" Lex asked
"Trolleys." He told them.

"What the hell are you on about?" Karen asked, looking at him as if he had lost his mind (which was what everyone was thinking).
"We get trolleys and ride them down hills instead of using carts coz we're way to big for them." Roy explained to them.
"Oh" Was the unanimous reply from the other four.
"So, who's up for it, or who's too chicken?" Roy asked.
"I'm no chicken, let's do it!" Sam replied
"I'm up for it if you are." Robin said
"Do you really think I'd miss out on something like this?" Lex asked
"Well if the rest of you are doing it, I can't be the only one left out now can I?" Karen said.

"Well let's get going then!" Roy yelled, and ran over to a tree and pulled out from behind it a trolley.
"What? Did you think that I would come un-prepared?" He asked.
"Guess not." Robin replied and ran over to help his best friend.

After a day of riding the trolley down as many hills as they could find, the five kids went to the park that they had met at that morning.
"That was the most wicked thing I have ever done!" Robin yelled, running over to the swings.
"You're telling me!" Lex agreed, sitting on the ground next to the swing set that Robin had sat on.
"We definitely have to do that again." Sam said, sitting on the swing next to Robin"""

"How does next weekend sound?" Karen asked, plopping down next to Lex.
"Fine with me, but next time someone else can get the trolley." Roy replied, and dropped down on his back.
"This has been one of the best days of my life." Sam said
"Yeah, it was really good." Lex said
"I really wish I had a camera or something so that I could take a photo of us all so that we could remember today." Sam said.

"Well it just so happens that this morning, my mother left her camera on the kitchen bench, right next to my bag, so I 'accidentally' put it in my bag with all the rest of my stuff." Karen said.
"So what, you took your mum's camera?" Roy asked
"Yeah." Karen replied
"Cool!" Robin said

"Hey, why don't you ask someone to take a picture of all of us?" Lex suggested
"All right, but first, I wanna get a photo of just Sam and Robin on the swings." Karen replied.
"What? Why?" Sam asked
"Coz it'd be a really cool picture." She replied.
"So?" Sam asked
"Oh come on Sammy, it's just a photo, it won't kill you." Robin said.
"Fine." Sam replied, then added,
"But you have to give me a hug for it."
"All right." Robin replied, and leaned in to hug her.

END FLAHBACK

'That was a fun day.' Frost thought,
'It would be great to just go back to that day, that moment, when nothing was wrong, and everything was just happy, not like when I got home that night…'

FLASHBACK

"And where have you been young lady?" Sam's mother, Adelle asked when she walked in the door.
"Out." Sam replied
"Out where? All day I've been worried sick about you, wondering where you had gone and what you were doing!" Adelle told her daughter.

"Oh yeah, you were really worried about me weren't you? You were probably spending the day with your boyfriend and had no idea that I wasn't even home, until you came back and found the house empty!" Sam yelled at her.
"That's not true!" Adelle replied, faking a look of shock and pain,
"Oh really, well if you were really that worried about me then you would've come looking for me, it wasn't that hard to find me!" Sam yelled.

"Why should I have come looking for you? You should have been at home or left me a note at least!" Adelle yelled back.
"I did leave a note, and I told you last night that I was going out today." Sam replied.
"Well I didn't find the note and I don't recall you saying anything about you going out last night." Adelle told her.
"That's coz you were too busy fawning over your boyfriend." Sam said under her breath.

"What was that?" Adelle demanded
"Nothing" Sam replied
"You'd better hope so." Adelle said and then walked off, when she got to the door, she turned around and said;
"I've left some money in a jar above the fridge; use it when you need it." She then walked up to her room.

'Use it when I need it? What the hell is she on about?' Sam asked herself before going up to her room and falling asleep.

At about one am, Sam woke up from a nightmare.
"Mum? Mum?" She called out in fear, but there was no reply. Curious, and still afraid, she climbed out of bed and went to her door; she opened it and walked out into the hallway. It was pitch black, but Sam knew her way around and was never really scared of the dark."

She walked down the hall to her mother's room and opened the door. She turned the light on and was shocked at what she saw, her mother's bed was empty, and all of her make-up was gone from the dressing table. Sam ran over to the dresser and opened the draws, Adelle's clothes were gone, and so was her jewellery that she hid in one of the draws.

"What's going on?" Sam asked herself, and began to frantically search the room for something that could explain what was going on. On the pillow of Adelle's bed, she found what she was looking for, a note. Unfolding it, Sam began to read;

My dear Samantha,

I know that you are probably wondering what is going on at the moment, so I shall tell you. I know that you don't like Seth, but I love him and can't imagine my life without him, so I have decided to leave with him, we're going to Paris! Isn't that exciting?

I understand that you are probably hurt right now, but you need to understand that for the past seven years, I have been unhappy, so when Seth gave me the chance to be happy again, I had to take it.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, I told you before that there is money in the jar above the fridge; that is for you to use as you want. I have also asked your Aunt to come and watch you until you are old enough to look after yourself, and she will be arriving within the next few days.

I love you, and may return someday.

Love, your mother

Xxoo

After reading this, Sam broke down and cried, not only had her father left her when she was two, now her mother had left her. Sam felt like there was no one left in the world, but then she thought of her friends, 'I'll always have them.' She thought, before crying until she had no tears left.

END FLASHBACK

'I never wanted to see her again after that.' Sam thought
'And I still don't, if she ever comes back, I'll ignore her, she left for a man who probably just broke her heart, she deserves to be alone.' She thought spitefully.

Then Sam did something she hadn't done in years, she cried, silent tears streaked down her face, but she didn't move to wipe them away, instead, she let them flow, as she hugged her knees and the photo album to her chest, rested her head on the window and watched the rain fall. After a while, she cried herself to sleep.

And that was how the Titans found her the next morning, asleep on the windowsill, hugging the album to her chest.

Ok, that was part 10, i know it probably sucked, but i've run out of ideas for the next two chapters, and this was all i could come up with.

Athena-Tonks42: Don't worry about not reviewing the other chapters, i do the same thing, thanks for saying they were amazing though! You're right, Green Day is the best band ever! Red X is my fave villian too, i've only ever seen him in the X episode, and that was funny. Yeah, i was getting kinda sick of how all the OC's always automaticllay fit in and that, and thought it might be time for a change, and plus this way, i can make my fic last longer. Thanks for the review!

ravenfairie: I have the same bad luck as you, except, i can't get onto other stuff. That sucks that you can't get onto fanfiction. Have fun at the mall, and i hope summer school isn't too boring, i've never been (we don't even have it), so what's it like? By the way, what does w/m mean? Thanks for the review!

Ok, all done, wow, i got a lot of reviews, and my first flame! Wow, it took 9 chapters, but i got one, i'm happy, they're funny! Ok, well you know what happens now, you press the little purple button that says "submit a review" and send me a review/flamer, either one, i love both!
