Grumbumble – I like the idea of this story and the past you've created for Beast Boy is interesting and well thought-out. I particularly like the relationship you're building between BB and Terra, although possibly you could expand on it a little more? Show us why BB feels he can't really talk to the other Titans but he can confide in Terra? Of course they love each other and all, but maybe you could make it more evident? But a really good piece - I hope you'll write more!
BlackSword6 – I've had a huge Writer's Block so I wasn't able to update but I'm back on track with help of BlackShield. You're in for a surprise, I'm going to expand on the BB x Terra factor, no worries. I don't really know how to make the BB x Terra relationship stand out more but the "surprise" should help.
BlackShield
- Meh, a little cornyness, a little bit of an
odd way to go about an outburst, but is okay. Melikes anyway. Though
it was a little obvious what happened. Of course, one with a dark
mind (like me) would pause to wonder - who's really telling the
truth? It would seem as though BB would surely be telling the truth,
but is he really? Or is he just stretching it to get sympathy from
his CRUSH? Hehehe. A question it be, though I'm guessing - knowing
you as I do - that he's telling the truth.
I await chapter
4.
Scelus,
BlackShield
BlackSword6 – Here's chapter 4! You know me too well, but I'm thinking of a little twist to add to this, but no promises.
Sammy101 - Wow, I never thought if B.B. hade brothers, they would beat him. Update soon, I need to find out what happened. Oh! And I'm putting this in my favorites! :)
BlackSword6 – Thanks! I like having my stories on other writer's favorite's lists. The beating is just a twist I thought of for the plot. But there's a surprise I've thought of about that.
"I just want them to leave me alone," Beast Boy said, "they've hurt me more than you can imagine, that's why I was scared to get closer to you."
"I'm never going to hurt you," Terra said soothingly.
"That's why I love you," Beast Boy said.
A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating, but I've had a huge Writer's Block (BlackShield can vouch for that) and had no inspirations. Now I've found a new band (obviously "Ace of Base") that I like and they had a song that gave me the jolt I needed.
A/N: This song is from Terra's point of view.
Chapter 4: Don't Turn Around
Beast Boy was walking through the hallway, returning from the bathroom. Monster Man suddenly came running up and grabbed Beast Boy by the collar and lifted him up off of the ground.
"You didn't tell anybody about you know what, right," Monster Man said in a threatening voice.
"No, no never," Beast Boy said in a cowardly voice.
"Good, 'cause you know what'll happen if I find out that you tell anybody," he said in the same voice.
"I know, I know," Beast Boy said in the same voice with the hint of tears coming on. Monster Man then threw him on the floor and walked out.
If
you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go
darling
Maybe it's better that way
He then ran into his room and jumped onto his bed, crying in the pillow. There was a knock on his door followed by a familiar voice.
"Beast Boy?" Terra said through the door, "Can I come in?"
Sniffle, sniffle.
"Beast Boy?" she asked again.
"Fine," Beast Boy said, "The override code is 2051-8181."
I'm
gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this
heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yea see if I care
Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"MM-" he said.
"Hurt you again," she finished. Beast Boy went into a whole new wave of tears.
"Oh," Terra said in a soothing voice, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Go
on and go now but
Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see
my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing
me cry
He suddenly stopped and looked at Terra, leftover tears still hanging in his eyes.
"I have to run away," he said.
"You have to what?!?" Terra said in shock, watching Beast Boy get up and started packing some things in a messenger bag, starting with a picture of him and Terra.
"I have to run away," he said again, "With MM and CC here I have no idea what'll happen to me."
Just
walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm
letting you go
But I won't let you know
"I have to object," she answered.
"Why?" he asked, almost done packing his bag.
"What'll the others think?" she asked, "And most importantly, what'll become of me?"
"Uh..." Beast Boy asked.
"Beast Boy!" Terra exclaimed, "What about us?"
"I have an idea," Beast Boy said as he rummaged through the piles of crap.
I
won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever
think about me
Just know that I'll be alright
"Ah ha!" he said as he held two rectangular devices in his hands.
"What are those things?" she asked.
"Tele-changers," Beast Boy said.
"Tele what?" Terra asked.
"We each have to carry one of these and if one of us presses the button, we will automatically be transported to where the other is," he explained.
I'm
gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this
heart of mine
I know I'll survive
Sure I'll make it
through
And I'll even learn to live without you
"Ok," she said as she grabbed one, "But I don't want you to leave!"
"I know, I don't want to either," Beast Boy said in a serious voice, "But I have to. They return the worst memories that I have ever experienced."
"If you must..." Terra said in a disappointed voice.
"Then it's settled, I leave at sundown," Beast Boy said.
Don't
turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't
turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Terra savored those precious seconds until Beast Boy left like none other.
"Friend Terra?" Starfire asked as she and Beast Boy were playing Gamestation.
"What?" she answered.
"Why are you spending all of your time with friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked.
"Uh..." Terra answered looking at Beast Boy, both with the same puzzled faces on them.
"It's uh..." Beast Boy said.
"Our special bonding day!" Terra exclaimed.
"Uh, yeah!" Beast Boy answered.
Just
walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm
letting you go
But I won't let you know
Robin came next and was reading the paper next to them. He was curious about what Terra and Beast Boy were whispering about, he asked about it.
"What're you guys talking about?" he asked.
"Uh..." Beast Boy said.
"Nothing," Terra said.
"No, we can tell Robin," Beast Boy said.
"No we can't!" Terra yelled at Beast Boy.
"Yes we can," Beast Boy said at Terra with a wink.
"I mean," she said, "We can."
"We were just talking about the success we've been having in our battles recently," Beast Boy said.
"Ok," Robin said with a confused look on his face, "I guess that's true."
He then walked away.
I
wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say
to you
Don't go
Raven and Cyborg came in together, Cyborg laughing and Raven with the same, bland expression on her face as she had everyday.
"So what're you two giggling about?" Terra asked.
Raven glared at her waiting for a change of terms.
"Uh..." Terra stammered, "I mean, what's so funny Cyborg?"
Raven rolled her eyes and levitated her book and herself to the couch and started to read.
"Oh," Cyborg said, "Nothing important."
"Ok, fine," Beast Boy said, "Have it your way."
As
he walks away he feels the pain getting strong
People in your life
they don't know what's going on
Too proud to turn around he's
gone
They all came in and had dinner, Monster Man continuously glancing at Beast Boy while nobody was looking. They all finished and Beast Boy and Terra walked outside.
"Well, I guess it's time," Terra said, looking down.
"Yeah," Beast Boy said, "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too," she responded. Then they embraced for a minute or two.
Don't
turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't
turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
There was a crimson figure hiding in the shadows of the tower. It was watching two people embrace, obviously saying good-byes, but for what?
"That trader!" he whispered just low enough so that they couldn't hear him, "I told him not to tell anybody! When I find him, I gonna hurt him so bad, he won't be able to move! Or something like that."
Just
walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm
letting you go
There were to dark silhouettes breaching the orange of the sunset. One was female, one male, both about the same height.
"Bye," she said.
"Bye," he said.
Then the two leaned in close as they shared a kiss.
Baby, don't turn around
Don't turn around
Just walk away
It's tearing you apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
Don't turn around
"Will you ever come back?" she asked.
"I hope so, I really do," he replied.
They shared one more quick kiss and then the male silhouette disappeared into the vanishing sunset.
