Chapter Seven: Confrontations

"Beast Boy, you have alot of explaining to do," Sandra said, her hands on her hips.

Beast Boy pulled away from Raven, breaking their embrace. All he could do was look at the floor.

"Well?" she asked impatiently. "I suggest that if you ever wat us to be together, that you explain yourself!" Sandra said, anger in her voice.

"I...I don't think we should see eachother anymore," he said slowly.

"What?"

"I think we should break up," he said in a stronger tone.

"No, no!" she said shaking her head.

"Sandra, I really like Raven and well......"

"So that's it! This is because of her isn't it?!"

"Yes," he said.

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why her and not me?"

"Because, you don't care! You're too full of youself to even think about me! And raven's....not. I don't even know why I went out with you, you don't even like me!" he exploded.

Sandra's expression was one that neither of them had ever seen before. It was a sad one. Suddenly, she turned and fled from the room, her hands over her face. So much for the tough girl thing, Raven thought. Even after Sandra was gone Beast Boy was still staring after her.

"Beast Boy," raven said.

She recieved no answer.

"Beast Boy," she said touching his shoulder.

Jeeze what is he, a statue? she thought as she hopped off of the counter. Raven stood in front of him and grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling his face down to hers. She brought his mouth on hers and kissed him hard on the lips. That got his attention! Raven pulled away from hima few seconds later.

"You want something to eat or somethin?" she asked him.

"No, I think I'm just gonna go to sleep," he said yawning.

"Ok," Raven said.

Grabbing his hand, raven led the way to thier bedroom, opening the door when they reached it. When they got inside, Raven flipped on the lightand Beast Boy had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Raven was standing before him in a nightgown, a very skimpy nightgown. He hadn't noticed it before.

"What?" Raven asked but then she remembered the nightgown she ahd put on and blushed.

I'll be having good dreams tonight, Beast Boy thought happily.

"I bet you will," Raven said and it was Beast boy's turn to blush.

Beast Boy walked over to his bed and climbed under his covers while Raven turned off the light. She walked over to Beast Boy's half of the bed and sat on the edge.

"Goodnight Rae," Beast Boy said.

"Goodnight Beast Boy," she said kissing his forhead.

Raven then climbed into her own bed and soon found herself sleeping peacefully. The next mopprning, Raven awoke to the sound opf soft singing. Curious, she sat up in her bed and looked across the room where she saw Beast boy seated at his desk hunched over a piece of paper, singing softly to himself. What could he be doing? Raven thought. She flew down onto the floor and crept up behind Beast Boy, her eyes looking over his shoulder at the piece of paper.

Raven was surprised to see that it was a poem he was working on. I didn't know he wrote peotry, Raven thought to herself. Hey eyes moved over the paper and she read:

Return of the Black Bird

I lay sleeping,

Dreaming a sad dream of weeping,

She left me once in a puddle of tears,

And now after painfilled years, the black bird has returned.

I had found comfort in another's arms,

But then the black bird took me back,

To keep me safe,

To keep me warm.

"You like it?" Beast Boy asked sensing her presence.

"Oh, yes...I do," she said blushing. "You're a good writer."

"Yeah, uh....Raven?"

"Yes?"

"The reason I broke with Sandra is because I realized that I-"

"Titans, trouble!" came Robin's voice.

"Crap!" Raven said scrambling for her uniform.

Beast Boy rushed out of the room, knowing that Raven was getting dressed. Getting dressed? Maybe I should have stayed!

"Don't even think about it!" Raven said as Beast Boy's hand made a move for the door knob.

"Darn it!"

A few minutes later, Raven emerged from the room dressed in her Teen Titans uniform.

"C'mon, we don't got all day!" Beast boy said running ahead of her.

"Wait up!" she said flying after him.

"What took you so long?" Robin asked when they came into the living room.

"Raven had to get dressed," Beast Boy said and everyone shot them confused looks.

"You guys are sick!" Beast Boy said and they looked relieved.

Realizing how much time they were wasting, Robin told everyone to go and they did. The Hive was at it again. They were trying to rob a bank. Everyone piled into the T-Car and soon they were speeding on their way to the bank. Finally, they reached their destination and climbed out of the car. The Hive was loading the last bag of money into their get-away vehicle when Mammoth spotted the Teen Titans out of the ocrner of his eye.

"Guys, trouble," he said.

"Finally," Jinx said. "I thought they'd never get here."

Gizmo appeared standing on his four metal spider legs.

"Crud! C'mon guys, lets high tail it before the cops get here!" he said.

"You scared?" Cyborg asked.

"No!" Gizmo said shooting lasers at him.

"Guys, attack pattern alpha!" Jinx said and each Hive member set to work.

Too bad for them, they had used this attack pattern everytime they fought so the Teen Titans knew what their every move would be. Well...all except for Beast Boy. Mammoth was right behind him, his fists raised directly above Beast Boy. It seemed as though everuthing were in slow motion.

"Beast boy look out!" Raven shouted, but it was too late.

Mammoth had smashed him under his massive fists. All Robin could think was OUCH! Everyone was instantly by his side. No one seemed to notice theb Hive members sneaking off with the money.

"Beast Boy are you alright?" Raven asked.

"I just want some cherry pie and hot chocolate," he said before going unconcious.

The other Titans looked around them and saw that the Hive had gotten away. Everyone looked at Robin for what to do next. Thier leader just shrugged and suggested that someone take Beast Boy home.

"I'll do it," raven volunteered.

"Alright, the rest of us will handle the Hive," Robin said and Raven nodded.

Raven stood up, one of Beast Boy's arms draped around her neck, one of her own armswrapped around his waist.

"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos," she said and they were lifted into the air.

"We'll be home in a while," Robin said," don't wait up for us."

Raven nodded before flying away to Titans' Tower. When they reached the tower, Raven opened the door with her mind and half carried, half dragged Beast Boy inside. Though it took a while, she finally managed to get him into his bed. Man, he weighs more than I thought! she said in her mind. After tucking him into his bed, raven realized that she had nothing left to do. She sighed to herself and decided to go out onto the roof.

Outside, Raven sat, her legs hanging over the edge of the tower. The wind blew around her, causeing her hair to blow around her face. Already, it was dark out. Must be fall, she thought. She sat there, just staring out at the dark sky. Raven jumped when she heard the door to the roof slam shut.

"I thought we agreed you wouldn't scare me anymmore," she said turning.

"Sorry. I forgot," he said sitting beside her.

"How's your head?"

"Hurts a little," he said.

"You've got to be more careful."

"Yeah..."

They sat in silence, enjoying the peace that surrounded them. Finally, Beast Boy spoke.

"About earlier...I never really got to finish what I was gonna say," he said looking at her.

"Yeah, we kinda got interrupted," she said smiling. "So...where did you leave off?"

"Well...I said that the reason I broke up with Sandra was because...I realized that I..."

"Yes?"

"That I...love you," he said blushing deeply.

"Really?" she asked in surprise.

"Yes," he said looking down.

"I love you too," she said and kissed him.

It was a happy ending after all and this time, both of them returned the kiss....

So, the end of a short story. How romantic! Lol, tell me what you think. Oh and before I go, I promised you a preview for my next story: True Confessions

Well, heres a preview:

"Robin...are you sure?"

"Yes, how else would I get all thses bruises?"

"You mean...there's more?" Starfire asked in surprise.

Robin pulled off his shirt, revealing many bruises and scratches on his back and chest.

"Oh Robin, what are we going to do?" she cried wrapping her arms around him.

She buried her face in hs shoulder, crying on him.

"Starfire..." he said wrapping his arms around her," don't cry, I'll be ok."

"How do you know? What if he kills you?"

"I won't let him."
