CHAPTER 4

Forgotten and Unloved

The dull grayness of the weather was nothing compared to the mood Beast Boy and Raven was in. BB and Raven trudged through the semi-crowded streets silent, both keeping their thoughts to themselves. Starfire and Robin walked hand-in-hand about 20 feet ahead of them, chatting happily.

Raven turned her head slightly to the side; looking through a few strands of her violet hair she studied Beast Boy's facial expression. It almost reminded Raven of herself. A dull expressionless face, hiding any feelings the heart was feeling. But, it didn't work as well as if Raven normal closed expression, the boy was usually upbeat and enthusiastic. "You like her, don't you," Raven spoke in a quiet tone that even Beast Boy who was walking next to her had to strain his ears to hear. It was obvious that she was talking about Starfire, who else? Raven had just watched him spy on Star and Robin for the last half an hour. "What if I do?" Beast Boy said in the same serious, quiet voice Raven had used earlier, "It doesn't matter now. He made his move first, and she said yes. I deserve to be left in the dust, forgotten and unloved," The last words made Raven stop look up and into Beast Boy eyes. The teen was depressed, more depressed than she'd ever seen him before.

I pity him, more than I pity myself. I'm used to controlling my emotions and feeling numb, well used to. But I bet this is his first real crush, not like those one night date blondes he used to date. His heart broken because he couldn't win Star over with a few words and acting all macho and manly.

But yet, is his situation too different than mine? I backed off Robin and made no move, so he and Star took there crush to the next level. I'm used to feeling numb, I want to now! I try and try to let go of my feelings but they return. I feel more pain than pleasure these days.

"There's always hope," Raven said softly thinking more of herself than Beast Boy. This time Beast Boy had to wonder, Why is Raven being so...un-harsh? For once she didn't tell me to shut up or get lost. She's almost understanding. But what does she know about love? She's too busy be ice queen to actually feel anything, so why does she care enough to ask? And why did she stay outside the restaurant with me instead of called be a idiot and walking off? Did she care what happened on Robin and Starfire's date? So many questions! Why can't life go back to normal, when Rob and Star were just friends and Raven minded her own business?

I just want to let go of these feelings! The two teens thought at the same time. Both of there eyes were just raised from the ground slightly to see where they were going. Raven and BB stayed silent, not the weird awkward silence that made you wonder what the other person was thinking about. But the kind of silence that was peaceful and there wasn't really a need for talking. Both kept there thoughts to them selves and there mouths closed.

Starfire and Robin slowly distanced themselves farther and farther until they weren't visible from Raven and Beast Boy's view. Raven and Beast Boy slowly wandering through the streets, their feet were gliding them to the large tower. Before they knew it they were walking over the bridge that connected the tower with the inland.

They paused outside the tower, Raven looked up at the massage tower, "Well...bye," she said quietly and whispered the prayer words under her breath slowly rising to her window in her room. She phased through it into her room. It was dark and the melted artifacts were still scattered about her bedroom. Raven used her powers to levitate them into garbage can in the corner of her room. She collapsed into the chair facing her desk.

Beast Boy opened the doors of the tower, Robin and Starfire were long gone somewhere else. He made is way into the living room which was also empty. Beast Boy started up the game box and played the same level over and over again failing more miserably each time until the words: GAME OVER flashed on the screen for the hundredth time it seemed he turned off the game box and slumped on the couch sitting there mindlessly staring out a window over looking the city.
