Chapter 3

Raven tossed and turned the whole night thinking about the news Azarath just gave her, she couldn't believe her mother was gone, but, Raven was also surprised at how much it hurt her. Her relationship with her mother wasn't that great, but it was still her mother…Raven sat up, knowing she wouldn't get any sleep, she held her knees to her chest and placed her chin on top of them, how was she supposed to keep this from the Titans? She knew that they would know something was up, but she didn't want to go through the whole sympathy bid. She knew that her anger outburst would be troubling to them. 'Well at least it broke the routine' she thought then shook her head, what was she thinking? Her mother was DEAD, and she was sitting here thinking how it broke the routine…but she shouldn't feel that bad for trying to think of other things, it would be best to keep her mind occupied, it would be easier to hide it. She sighed and looked at the clock, it was 4:30 am…Her stomach grumbled and she decided to go downs stairs to the kitchen.

Robin sat in his room, thinking about the events that just happened…he tried to go to sleep, but he'd just end up waking up twenty minutes or so later, how was he supposed to deal with Raven? He didn't even know what was wrong, and her brother's cryptic warning? All these thoughts were going through his head…when all of a sudden he heard footsteps go past his door. 'Who could be up at this hour?' Robin thought and opened his door, but no one was there.. 'Well once I'm here I could use a snack' He thought and made his way to the kitchen, He walked steadily through the dark hallways, trying to think…as he got closer to the kitchen he saw the light was on…He was pretty sure it was Raven...She sat by the counter with a mug sipping away at her tea, her eyes focused on the table…She looked up at him and he smiled warmly, Her eyes showed a bit of shock and turned away…Robin pulled out a piece of left over pizza and grabbed a plate then threw it in the microwave. Raven looked up at him again, but his back was to her. The silence started to eat away at her, but she tried her best to ignore it. The microwave beeped and he took out the plate and sat across from her, he could feel her eyes watching him, he thought it was best to stay away from the subject of what happened earlier. So he just sat there quietly eating his pizza. Minutes passed and the silence was pounding in her ears. She felt so uncomfortable…

"Can you pass the napkins?" Robin said

Raven jumped a bit, his voice seemed so loud because of the long silence. She shoved over the napkins and he wiped his mouth, Raven looked at him and he looked up at her, his eyes were full of warmth and kindness, she felt so comfortable just sitting and staring into his eyes…Raven shook her head and moved her eyes to the table, 'What the hell?' she thought, 'What was happening why am I thinking like this?' she asked herself. She looked back at Robin who looked away quickly, she up at his black hair which was going in every which way direction, she thought of his smile, that brought color to her face whenever it was directed to her, as she sat there thinking more and more about Robin's features she started to realize how much attention she paid to him without even noticing…

"Star was really worried about you earlier" Robin broke the silence

"Huh?" Raven said quietly

"Star was really worried about you, well actually everyone was" Robin told her

"Oh.." Raven said…Starfire…she had completely forgot about her…Raven envied her she got to Robin before Raven ever had a chance

"So do you want to talk about it?" Robin asked

"No" Raven answered bluntly

"How will I know how to make you feel better if I don't even know what's wrong" Robin asked

"I don't need to feel better, nothing's the matter with me" Raven said angrily

"Even though you probably think so Raven, I AM NOT THAT DAMN STUPID!" Robin raised his voice, "I know something's wrong"

"Well maybe there is but I don't need your help" Raven said her voice starting to shake…her awkward moment with Robin took her mind off her mother.

"Did someone close to you die or something? You can talk to me about it Raven! I know what it's like to lose someone close" Robin sat next to her

"This situation isn't one of you leader duties okay?" Raven glared up at him…but it immediately softened as she saw longing gaze.

"Raven, you're my friend…" He said… 'friend' Raven thought, that was all they were ever going to be.

"She's dead" Raven said quietly

"Who is…your mom?" Robin asked, and Raven lightly nodded…Robin looked at her, her eyes were filled with pain.

"I don't get it…my mom neglected me…it wasn't even a good relationship I had with her…WHY am I so affected by it?" Raven asked holding back tears, she couldn't cry…not in front of him, she couldn't show weakness.

"She was your mom Raven, you still loved her, no matter how bad it was" Robin said holding her. Raven's head was against Robin's chest, and she felt safe.

"It's okay to cry you know" Robin said 'No it isn't' Raven thought, but she wanted to, she wanted to cry so badly, not only because her mother was dead..no..she wanted to cry because she knew she could never have him, She knew she could never have Robin like she had him now. This moment would never be possible to happen without sympathy. Sympathy was the reason Robin was being like this, and she couldn't take it, if he was going to hold her it would be because he loved her not because he felt sorry for her...

"I don't need your sympathy" Raven pulled away from him

"Raven wait!" Robin said, but she kept walking.

Raven sat on her bed thinking of what just happened. How could she be so stupid, giving in to him...he had her, he had her wrapped around her finger, but she couldn't let that happen. She loved him and she knew it, but she had enough pain to deal with already...
