A/N ~ After the last chapter, it was kind of hard to think of anything, but after walking around outside and thinking about science, I was able to come up with something pretty cool. ^.^ Enjoy!

Chapter 6 - Rain
I have to keep looking for something to do. Something to keep me here. Something to hold on to until I can forgive myself.
I sat, rocking back in forth on my newly made bed, staring out my window. My cape draped over my whole body, erasing me. The high cumulonimbus clouds hovered above the city, increasing the volume of all the shadows that lingered. Telling everyone that the rain will come to wash away their day...my day.
Lightning flashed quickly, attacking the shadows of the world. The thunder resounded quickly after, echoing acrossed the land. It was almost like our fight. Beast Boy being the lightning, he shot towards the negatively charged particle without thinking; attacking my heart with his words. Me being the thunder, I reacted to the lightning by rapidly breaking the combustion of air along it; taking his breath away with my emotions, or lack of to be more precise.
There's always something about the rain that is so calming. Every drop of water lands pensively upon the ground, splashing almost into slow motion. The water rises like it's going to explode, and then drifts gently down to the ground. It moves with such energy and spirit, but yet, is so calm and collected.
I used to be like that. I used to be so completely calm that nothing could stop me. Nothing could touch me. Why isn't it like that anymore? My energy's bouncing around inside my head, tearing holes into my brain. But...why? It can't be this way. My feelings will get mixed around with everyone else, and I won't be able to fight anyone.
"Sleep!" I shouted, breaking another lamp. Wow. Who knew that there were any left.
The Question: I need something to pass the time without completely boring me to death, and something that would take enough time for the others to cool off, too.
The Answer: sleep.
Why didn't I think of it before? Everyone does it when they can't think of anything else to do...I need a hobby or something, don't I?
I sluggishly undid the button to my cape. Using my unstable powers, I threw it over to a clothes hook. Climbing under my violet sheets, I laid my head on the tear stained pillow. I struggled to pertain a comfortable position, and tossed my sheets to the side of my bed. I buried my face into my pillow to provide some kind of cool comfort, but to no avail. I threw that over the side, too.
"Why's it so hot in here...," I asked myself softly, trying not to use too much energy. "It's so cold and wet outside."
I propped myself up on my elbows so I could gaze at the rain again. I couldn't stand being far from it, so I got up again, not bothering to put on my cape. I neared the window and hesitantly put my hand on the cool glass, my eyes flitted from one raindrop to the next. It was cold outside. So why was I so hot? Just touching the window put a freezing sensation through my body. It felt nice, though. Only because my body was so warm, probably.
There was an almost comforting glow from the sky. Not like a light, but just a feeling. It felt like a light royal blue; the color of a faded midnight sky. I want the feeling to fill my room. I want it to bring me that overwhelming comfort that comes from it. If only everyone could feel this comfort, and relax knowing that they're safe in it. This is what we all need to cradle us in our times of need.
I continued to cool my hand on the window, letting my face fall into my palm. I could hear that the rain was starting to stop. It slowed gracefully, still keeping to a constant beat. You'd think that just this was enough to get me to sleep.
Floating unsteadily over to my bed, I landed knees first on my bed, and eventually crashing down onto my pillow. I immediatly began thrashing around from the heat. I tried all different kinds of positions: one leg scrunched up against with the other leg out, and vise versa; one leg over the side of the bed with the other out, and vise versa; both legs up against me, which made the heat just more unbearable; both legs stretched out; on my stomach with both legs stretched strait out. The last seemed to be the most comfortable, and yet I was still struggling.
Is it just me that struggles? Or do others get the same, uncomfortable, warm feeling at night?
Tonight is NOT the night to get insomnia. Please, body, let me relax and drift off into my own world...

A/N ~ Review please! I'm hoping that I added better descriptions to this chapter, but that's only hope. Tell me what you think! In the meantime I'LL try to think of chapter 7...
