THANKS AGAiN FOR THE REViEWS! Sorrie it took so long..ive been distracted by harry potter fanfics..blame those, and writers block. Ive decided to make this chapter a "song chapter" I think I might do this for selected chapters in the future, but back to the subject of this chapter, the beginning might not make sense now, but if I get to finish this story, it will later (if u catch my drift?)

Chapter 4

Raven woke up suddenly in a cold sweat. This is how she'd been waking up for the past few days. She'd been having a strange reoccurring dream. Thinking about it seemed to take her mind off her dead mother, she'd been trying to find anything to do that for her. But her dream…it was so clear, so precise and exactly the same as the night before, not the slightest thing would change as she hoped, but it happened like this…She'd be in the titan's tower, the titans doing typical things like training, video games, cleaning all that sort of stuff.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces

Then all of a sudden all of her teammates would get up away from what they were doing one by one talking about how they needed to get errands done scurrying out the door as if they're lives were at steak. Leaving Raven by herself…

Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where

Then things would start shaking violently, bringing the room to split, causing her to fall down into the darkness, landing her in a desolate wasteland. She'd walk for what seemed to be hours, to come across the Titans gathering around something. She would stand afar to study their expressions, Starfire was crying, as the others tried to hold in their tears, trying to show no emotion. Afterwards then see what they were looking at, her stomach dropped every time she her own dead lifeless body.

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression

Raven looked at her alarm clock it read 9:35 am. She sighed heavily and threw on her uniform and headed to the kitchen. She hesitated before she went in and threw on her hood to hide her face.

"Good Morning friend Raven!" Starfire said cheerfully

"Morning" Raven said quietly and stared at the tea kettle ignoring your teammates. She could feel their eyes upon her. It had been a few days since her anger outburst on the roof, but no one pestered her about it. They thought it would be best if they let her tell them… 'Yea right' Raven thought. She looked over at Robin and he glanced over at her, but she looked away and caught Starfire pass by Robin each of them ignoring each other's presence. It was strange they seemed rather distant.

"Are you going to eat breakfast?" Robin asked

"No, tea'll probably fill me" Raven said focusing on the kettle, they had shared little small talk since the kitchen incident, the more Raven looked at him the more feelings for him started to appear.

"Come on just a bite" Beast boy showed up behind her out of no where

"No I'm fine" Raven said agitated. Sleeping and having that crazy dream seemed better than having people pestering her.

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

After she fixed up her tea she sat gracefully at the table across from Robin.

"Uhm, oh yah…Star and I are over" Robin announced

"WHAT?" Cyborg said, Raven perked her head up and gave Robin a puzzled look, then looked at Starfire who was beaming like usual 'She's like a crazy cheerleader on steroids' Raven thought

"We have decided to stay the status of 'friend' for the best of the team" Starfire said

"This is so sudden" Terra popped into the room

"Holy Shit where'd you come from?" Cyborg said in shock.

"I was walking to the kitchen and I just heard" Terra said

"GOOD MORNING!" Beast Boy greeted Terra. Raven rolled her eyes and started to walk up to the roof. As she was walking through the hallway she heard footsteps behind her and turned around sharply.

"Don't worry it's just me" Robin said

"What?" Raven snapped, she wasn't in the mood

"I wanted to know how you've been doing" He tried to keep his eyes anywhere but in contact with hers.

"Why" Raven glared

"My parents died too" Robin said, he looked up at Raven and she sat against the wall and pulled her knees to her chest. Robin followed and turned to her expecting her to say something.

"We used to be acrobats you know? It was kind of hard though, I used to watch kids come to watch the circus, I remember always wanting to be normal when all of them watched and wished to be me" Robin looked at the wall and paused allowing Raven to speak, but she said nothing "well anyways, this one night we were performing in Gotham City, it was just like any other night, then he showed up."

"Who?" Raven asked quietly

"Two Face…I guess he was trying to get at Wayne" Robin's voice choked "we tried to help, but they didn't make it" Raven looked up at her leader who hid his face in his knees, but she knew he was silently crying.

"Uh" Raven said and was about to put her arm around him but something stopped her.

"I know what it's like to lose someone" Robin whispered

"I…" Raven said but was speechless

"Look, don't push me away this time I want to help you Raven I want to be here" Robin grabbed her shoulders and made her face him.

"Fine" Raven said

"So, why don't we go out for coffee" Robin got up and held out his hand to help her up

"Don't push it boy wonder" Raven got up and brushed her cloak. Her leader threw her a smirk and started walking the opposite direction of where she was headed. She watched him walk away and wanted to run after him and tell him that she did want coffee. But then she thought 'Wait he JUST announced he and Star where over, and all of a sudden he wanted coffee? What was he playing at?'

I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
