A/N: Thanks to hikari and sakura (i think thats her name....x.x)for being faithful reviewers!!!!! Much love guys.And I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm using a Britney Spears song in this chapter. I know about one or two lines doesn't really apply as much as it could to Terra, but OH WELL! Well not much else to say, except that I'm having so much fun with this story I'm neglecting the other ones. And Lindsey's gonna kill me for it....(sigh) I'm sorry Lindsey ; And no, Lindsey, your character isn't going to become a Teen Titan....sorry! But she'll be in many chapters and, if I do one, the sequel! So don't hate me too much! Onward!
Daughter of Evil
Chapter 9:Jen and Heartbreak
"Gosh, this is so freakin' hard!" Christine yelled, then she remembered her earlier lesson with Raven and took a deep breath. "I can do this, I know I can," she muttered. For the past 40 minutes, Robin had been trying to teach Christine to do a cartwheel.
"Your problem is you're scared to lift your legs over your head, so they bend and mess you up," he said. "Come on, we'll do it slow, and I'll hold your legs straight." Christine sighed and, for the most part, did the cartwheel. Robin grabbed her legs and pulled them slowly over her head, then to the other side. Christine stood up and sighed.
"I think I got it," she said, stepping back a ways. She tried again, and this time almost got it, except Beast Boy chose that moment to slam the door open.
"Christine, you in here?" Beast Boy asked. Robin sweat dropped and Christine sat up from the floor, rubbing her head.
"Yes, and I was in the middle of a cartwheel, which I have never before mastered," she said in irritation. Beast Boy grinned stupidly.
"Sorry, but I just had to tell you, that I'm going to do it today," he said.
"It?" Christine asked. Beast Boy stared at her hard for a minute, then the wheels started turning in Christine's mind.
"OH! Oh oh oh! Yeah, okay, that's wonderful!" She grinned and blushed. "Wow I'm an idiot," she said. Robin looked back and forth between the both of them in confusion.
"You'll find out either uh later tonight or early tomorrow," Beast Boy said, walking out of the room. Robin looked at Christine and Christine just smiled.
"Where were we?" she said. She attempted the cartwheel again, and actually got her legs over her head, but she didn't quite get the landing right. It was more sideways than forwards.
"If we work on that last part, I think you've got it," Robin said. Christine sighed and nodded.
"I've never been very good at this stuff," she said, sighing slightly.
"You're getting better," Robin said. "You want to try again?" Christine looked at the clock; it was 9:30
"Maybe once more, I'd like to head off to bed," she said. She got into stance, braced herself, and was just starting when the door was flung open again. She fell on the floor, right on her face.
"GOSH WHAT IS IT?!?!" she yelled angrily. She looked up at Starfire and sighed.
"I am sorry, have I interrupted something?" Starfire asked, looking embarassed. Christine shook her head.
"No, no, its okay, what is it? I'm sorry for blowing up at you," Christine said. Starfire smiled.
"Apology accepeted! But I was wondering if you'd come with me? There is a girl outside the tower," she said.
"Do you happen to have a twin?" Robin said jokingly.
"Nah, not that I know of," Christine said, following Starfire up the stairs with Robin close behind her. All the other Titans were gathered around the window, looking down at the bay. A girl was standing on the edge.
"Why don't we go see who she is?" Terra said.
"Yeah. But guys we really don't need anymore members. I mean, look how outnumbered us guys are already!" Cyborg said.
"Eh, suck it up, let's just go see who she is," Raven said. They took the elevator to the ground floor and walked out to the shore. They stopped about 10 feet away from her.
"Who wants to go first?" Beast Boy said. Christine stepped forward.
"I will." Everyone shrugged, and she walked the rest of the way to the girl. She stopped beside her, and saw a wrecked...something on the shore a short distance away.
"Hey, who are you?" Christine said kindly. The girl looked up at her slowly. She had bright green eyes that were almost covered by her bangs. She had purple-ish blue hair that was extremely straight and reached her waist. She was about 5'3" and medium build. Her skin was pale, kind of like Raven's. The girl said nothing.
"Umm, what's wrong? Were you in that crash?" Christine said, trying to sound as nice and friendly as possible. The girl sighed and looked down at the water.
"My name is Jen, and I have no recollection of anything that's ever happened to me. This much I do know, I was in that crash," she said. Christine gasped slightly.
"Oh no, you have amnesia?" she asked. Jen sighed again and shrugged, still staring at the water.
"I suppose so, whatever that is. Isn't that the thing where you forget stuff after you've hit your head hard?" she asked.
"Yes, yes it is. Come on, come stay in the tower tonight. We can house you until you get your memory back," Christine said. Jen shrugged again and walked over to the crash.
"I vaguely remember...something....bags and such..." She searched through the wreckage until she found a large duffel bag. She slung it over her shoulder and stood by Christine like a lost toddler with the woman who promised to help her find her mom.
"Okay, well, let's introduce you to my friends. We're the Teen Titans, and we fight crime," Christine said. They reached the other Titans.
"Hi," Jen said.
"Guys, this is Jen. She was in a wreck and she has amnesia. Jen, this is Raven, Cyborg, Terra, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Robin," Christine said, pointing to each member in turn. Jen nodded at them.
"Is she gonna crash here?" Beast Boy asked. Christine shrugged.
"If it's okay with you guys," Christine said. "I think she deserves a place to rest, especially since she has no memory." Everyone nodded.
"You can stay in Christine's room because she has an extra mattress," Terra said. Christine smiled and nodded, though if her room was going to be volunteered she would've rather she herself had done it. Jen shrugged.
"If it is no trouble," she said. Her voice seemed to have no emotion, no life to it. They all nodded and walked to the elevator. The elevator was quite cramped, and Christine found herself pushed against the wall and Beast Boy and Raven.
"Wow, how uncomfortable," she muttered. Raven squirmed a little and ended up trapped between Cyborg and Christine instead. Raven sighed.
"Yeah, just a little," she said, though really she didn't mind another reason to be closer to Cyborg.
--------------------------------------------------
Christine handed Jen a pillow and blankets.
"Make yourself comfortable. I suggest you get some sleep. If you want anything, don't hesitate to call for me," Christine said. Jen nodded, and Christine walked out. She leaned against the door and sank to the floor. She wondered when Beast Boy was going to break up with Terra.
'It better be damn soon, I'm getting pretty sick of waiting,' she thought angrily. She calmed herself and closed her eyes, and she let the anger flow away. She stood up and walked to the roof. She looked at her watch as she opened the door. It was 9:45. She looked up and was startled to see two more figures on the roof. She hid behind the elevator box and watched. She could see that it was Beast Boy and Terra. She breathed a sigh of relief quietly, hoping that this would be the end of Terra and Beast Boy. What she saw was actually quite different.
"Terra-" Beast Boy said, facing her. Terra leaned forward and kissed him.
-----------------------------------------------------
Beast Boy had asked Terra to come to the roof. He was nervous. He didn't want to hurt Terra's feelings, but he didn't want to lie to Christine either. He was sitting on the edge of the roof when she came up.
"Hey," he said. "I need to talk to you." Terra smiled and sat next to him.
"Yeah, me too," she said.
"Terra-" he started to say, but Terra had kissed him. He wasn't sure why, but, though he didn't love her like he did Christine, he kissed her back, not wanting her to be offended or anything. Eventually they did break away, and Beast Boy stood up.
"What did you need to talk about?" Terra asked.
"Nevermind," he said with a sigh.
------------------------------------------------------
'Go on, pull away and tell her its over, tell her that you love me, not her!' she thought frantically. She fell quietly to her knees when Beast Boy kissed Terra back. She watched a few seconds longer, and when they didn't break apart, she walked slowly to the stairs and shut the door behind her. As soon as she was in the living room and was certain no one was around, she collapsed on the couch and sobbed her heart out. She cried until she felt like she could cry no more, which took about three minutes that seemed to last three milleniums.
'Oh God, I should've known, he'll never be over her. Why did he lie to me? How could he?' she thought, sobbing as quietly as she could, which actually wasn't all that quiet. Sure enough, someone managed to hear. Raven was soon standing in front of her. Thankful that it wasn't Beast Boy or Terra, Christine sat up and looked at Raven.
"Your eyes are about three colors, and I'm sure these colors can't mean anything good," Raven said, sitting down beside her. Christine could name them easily.
"Heartbreak, sadness, and anger," Christine said. "Oh, God, Raven, I just saw Terra kiss Beast Boy, and he didn't pull away! He told me he loved me," she whispered.
Notice me, take my hand. Why are we strangers when our love is so strong? Why carry on without me?
Raven hugged Christine. Christine would've been shocked if she wasn't hugging her back and crying.
"It's like when its just me and him, we know we're in love. But then around her, we're complete strangers!" she sobbed.
Everytime I try to fly, I fall. Without my wings, I feel so small. I guess I need you baby.
"It's like I try to get past the fact he might like Terra, but it never works. Without him, nothing feels right, I really need him, Raven!" Christine continued.
"I have no clue what to tell you to do," Raven said, hugging Christine still.
And everytime I see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me. I guess I need you baby.
"I even dream about him Raven. It's like I'm completely obsessed with him and he doesn't even care," Christine sobbed. "I'm going to my room, but thanks Raven." She stood and walked slowly to her room.
I make believe that you are here. It's the only way I see clear. What have I done? You seem to move on so easy.
Christine layed down on her bed and sighed. She had pretended to herself that he would actually go out with her. It was the only way she'd been able to deal with her feelings. But no, he just moved on. He had a girlfriend, after all.
Everytime I try to fly, I fall. Without my wings, I feel so small. I guess I need you baby. And everytime I see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me. I guess I need you baby.
Christine could hear Beast Boy and Terra coming down from the roof. She quite literally felt like she was falling into a black hole with no hope of escape, and this would haunt her forever.
I may have made it rain. Please forgive me.
She felt like she had brought horrible luck into his life. If she was never there, he wouldn't have been stabbed, and he wouldn't have to worry about her. He'd be able to date Terra and be happy.
My weakness caused you pain. And this song's my sorry.
She knew that because she was weak, because she couldn't control her emotions, because she couldn't stop her father, Beast Boy had experience pain. And it was all her fault.
At night I pray that soon your face will fade away.
"Why can't I just stop loving you?" she whispered into the pillow, fresh tears springing to her eyes and flowing freely.
And everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings, I feel so small. I guess I need you baby. And everytime I see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me. I guess I need you baby.
Christine fell asleep crying.
---------------------------------------------------
Raven looked up and saw Beast Boy and Terra coming downstairs. Terra left, and Beast Boy was walking through the living room to get to his room. Raven, suddenly angered at him, was in front of him in three steps.
"Raven, what's-" He was cut off by Raven slapping him sharply.
"What is your problem, you self centered asshole?" Raven hissed dangerously at him.
"What is YOUR problem?" Beast Boy asked, holding his hand to his throbbing cheek.
"You know, Christine saw you kiss Terra," was all that Raven had to say. Beast Boy's eyes got wide and he sank to the floor.
"Crap, crap, crap," he muttered.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Raven asked. Beast Boy sighed and Raven kneeled to his level, still angry with him.
"I really, really do not love Terra. I love Christine, I really do! I just don't want to hurt Terra's feelings!" he said.
"Oh yeah, and you didn't hurt Christine's at all," Raven said angrily, causing a light bulb to explode. Beast Boy winced.
"Okay, yeah, that's true. Raven do you know how hard it is to love someone and like someone else at the same time? It really is hard!" Beast Boy said.
"There is a difference between love and a crush, Beast Boy," Raven said angrily. Beast Boy sighed and nodded.
"I know. I can't believe she saw me," he said, looking sadly at the ground.
"You better go apologize unless you don't ever want to have children," Raven growled, pulling one foot back slightly as if getting ready to kick him. Beast Boy stood up quickly.
"Okay, geez, I was going to anyway!" he said, turning around and walking into the hallway that led to Christine's room.
----------------------------------------------------
Jen, who had been asleep, woke up when Christine fell asleep. Christine was facing her. Jen noticed that her face was wet, like she had been crying.
'Poor girl, I wonder what ails her?' Jen thought. She heard a knock on the door and closed her eyes quickly, pretending to be asleep. She didn't fall asleep so that she could hear what was going on around her. Christine was awake now, Jen could sense it. She stayed still and listened.
----------------------------------------------------
Christine sat up. Someone had knocked on her door.
"Christine? Can I come in?" Beast Boy asked. Christine glared daggers at the door, but followed Raven's advice and calmed herself. She fell back onto the bed and pretended to be asleep. She heard the door open and Beast Boy walked in. Christine was now facing towards the door, and she was sure Beast Boy could see the tears that were still fresh and shining on her face.
"Oh, man...." she heard him mutter. "Christine? Wake up," he said, shaking her gently. Christine sat up reluctantly and stared at him.
"What do you want?" she asked, though she could hardly get through that sentence without choking on a sob. Beast Boy looked at her with guilt and sadness.
"Christine....Raven told me you saw me and Terra kiss on the roof," Beast Boy said. Christine nodded and looked away. She used her wind power to turn the light halfway on, so as not to wake Jen.
"Yeah, so what?" she choked, fresh tears forming at the thought of the memory. Beast Boy sat down close to her on the bed, and she turned her head away.
"Christine...please listen," Beast Boy said.
"What's there to hear? You obviously love Terra and lied to me. There's nothing to say," Christine said, letting the tears fall freely. Beast Boy winced and frowned.
"That's not true. I didn't lie, I don't love Terra! I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but Christine, I didn't stop to think that I'd be hurting your feelings by staying with her," he said, wiping away her tears with his hand. She pushed his hand away and wiped her tears herself. Beast Boy looked dejected.
"You sure did a damn good job of hurting my feelings," she said quietly, letting the tears fall onto her pajama shorts without being wiped away.
"Christine, I couldn't ever apologize enough for this. I'm sorry. And I promise, tomorrow, I will break up with her," he said. Christine stared at him hard.
"You swear?" she asked. He cupped her face with his hand and wiped away a tear. She didn't push him away.
"I swear," he said. They both stood up, Christine only being a few centimeters shorter than him. He hugged her.
"I'm sorry for this, Christine," he said. The last of her tears were absorbed by his shirt.
"Yeah, you better be," she growled playfully. She smiled at him. "'Cause now my pillow is soggy."
---------------------------------------------------
After Beast Boy had left and Christine was in bed, Jen opened her eyes.
'How dramatic,' she thought. 'That must be terrible, to have the one you love kiss someone else. That triggers something in my brain...I don't know what though,' Jen thought, hating her stupid amnesia.
A/N: Ahhhhhh don't hate me.........I AM A TERRA HATER, TRUST ME. But I was listening to "Everytime" and thought it'd be good to include and I thought that up. Trust me things get better AND THERE WILL BE RAVEN/CYBORG!!!! I PROMISE! DON'T HURT ME! lol.
