Chapter 6:
Robin's head was throbbing, no matter how hard he tried to relax. Starfire's words were echoing loud and clear, though no one else could hear it. 'Why change? It won't make a difference...' He thought. He tossed himself to the other side of his bed to face the once brightly lit window.
'My life's a complete wreck. What in the world am I gonna do!?' He was screaming at himself, which wasn't helping his throbbing head. He eyes wandered around the room, observing what he had done to it, and then down at himself to see what he had become...distant, hollow, quiet,...and now lonely.
The once happy young leader who was full of energy and life was now out of energy and practically dead. He stood up off of his bed and looked in the mirror. His eyes widened in shock.
"So...this is what I look like? This is what I've become?" He looked down at his hands, which he clenched into fists. He looked back up and narrowed his eyes, staring at the grim creature before him. Rings were hung loosely under his eyes, his hair was everywhere, he had lost weight from loss of not eating, and he lost some muscle tone(I don't even think he had any to begin with lol).
'I have changed. But...it feels good to be different. I am somewhat enjoying it.' He convinced himself. He looked once again to his hands, then to his mirror self, then to the door. He felt like he had two choices. Have his 'friends' stare at him awkwardly and keep their distance for the rest of his and their life, or run away to somewhere where he will be accepted.
He slugged back over to his bed where he sat and stared at the dimly lit lamp beside him. He lost his light. He was just as dim as the lamp. Once bright, it lost energy and was now of not much worth to anyone...including himself. He slammed his fist on the bed, making it move slightly. He had to get out his anger, but here, he couldn't. Here, he just wasn't excepted anymore. Here...he was of not much worth to anyone...including himself.
His eyes shifted to the floor. He didn't know what to do anymore...his head was hurting. It was hard to concentrate now. "I know. I'll go somewhere where I'm accepted, and where I can be what I am now. I can let out all of my anger, and I will NOT be worthless!" With that, he stood up and started packing his stuff.
After a few minutes, he finally came across a picture of his friends that he had. He saw himself in the middle, a mile-wide smile pasted on his face. Starfire, who wasn't used to pictures, started crying, and Beast Boy tried to comfort her. Raven just stood there with a blank expression. "Raven..." He whispered as he ran his thin finger over her picture. He realized what he was doing and pulled his hand away from the picture. He stuffed in his bag subconsciously, and packed everything else in. He then got up off of the floor and headed for the door. As he did, he looked back at his quarters.
It was always there for him. When he was sad, angry, happy, depressed...it was always there. But he needed a real friend. Something that could actually move and show feelings towards him. He shook his head and headed out of his bed room door, heading down the stairs.
His back hit the wall as he made sure he wasn't seen by anyone that might be getting up for a late-night snack. He sighed and continued down the stairs, stepping onto the floor of the living room. Memories flooded into his head as he stared at everything standing there. He could remember one time when Beast Boy accidentally kissed Starfire.
:::Flashback:::
BB: Hey! Come on Cyborg! Give it back!
Cyborg: NO WAY! Last time you had chocolate, you couldn't sleep for a week!
BB: *snatches the chocolate out of Cyborgs hands* Ha ha! I got it! *Eats the whole thing, and in seconds, he's all hyper*
Cyborg: I told ya so.
BB: *Runs up to Starfire* Hey hey hey! Whatcha doin'!? Huh?....You're kinda cute...*kisses her*
Starfire: Beast Boy! What did you do!?
BB: Uh...I don't really know...*snaps back to reality*
Cyborg: You just kissed Star BB.
BB: ACK! *Turns red and runs off up the stairs with a confused Starfire*
:::End Flashback:::
Robin couldn't help but laugh slightly at the thought. He then realized he was wasting time with memories and straitened his face. 'No more memories like this.' He said to himself. He didn't want anything to do with these people anymore. He felt useless as it was, and here they are pressuring him. He shook his head violently and made a B-line to the door, opened it, and dissapeared into the stormy night.
As he trudged along, his face wet with rain and tears, his hair pasted to his head, he couldn't help but think about his 'friends' now. He didn't know what they would think, say...of course they might not even care. He came to them for help, and he didn't get much help. Well, of course he did, but he didn't think so.
"I'll show them! I'll...I'll..." He stopped and looked up at a huge building and stared for a second. Then a smirk came over his tear streaked face. He walked in quietly and saw a few shadows standing there.
"I want to join you..." Robin said quietly. The few that were standing there laughed and led him to another part of the building, him laughing with them now....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ha ha ha ha! Another cliffie! So...whaddya think!? Huh huh huh!? Now, don't jump to conclusions folks for now. The next chapter will answer all your questions. Oh, and to clear this one thing up...the reason Robin wants revenge is because he feels like when he came to his friends for help, they really didn't seem to care and didn't help him much, even though you and I know they did try and help him. Now that that's cleared up...please R/R! Thanks to all who has reviewed my story! It is muchly appreciated! Chapter 7 comin' up!
