Daughter of Evil
Chapter 10: Goodbye to You
Terra stepped away from Christine's door.
'So he lied to me after all,' Terra thought, tears springing to her eyes. She heard Beast Boy's footsteps and she silently made her way down the hall to her room. She fell on her bed with a dejected sigh. She wasn't crying as much as she thought she'd be. Well, she had been expecting something like this.
'I just didn't want to believe it,' she thought. She decided tomorrow she'd end it with him before he could end it with her. She fell asleep restlessly.
------------------------------------------------------
Raven was laying in her bed, trying to sleep. She sighed and rolled onto her back. No matter what she did, the only thing she could think of was Cyborg.
'Why do I like him so much? We're nothing alike,' she thought. 'Are we even a couple? He did hold my hand on the plane. But that doesn't mean we're dating or anything. Maybe I should talk to him.' Just then there was a knock on her door.
"Raven?" She'd recognize that voice anywhere. Glad that she didn't have to get out of bed, she said,
"Come in." Cyborg walked in and smiled nervously.
"Hey," he said. "Can I sit?"
"Yeah sure," Raven said, sitting up to make space for him. He sat down and they sat in silence for a minute.
"So uh....well....I came because well...I couldn't stop thinking about you, basically," Cyborg said. Raven smiled.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you either." Silence. Then,
"Would you, I mean I know it's not your style, but would you maybe, I don't know, go see a movie with me some time?" he asked nervously. Raven smiled.
"I'd like that very much," she said. They both blushed.
"So um...." Cyborg said.
"How about tomorrow?" Raven asked.
"Yeah, that would be fine," Cyborg said. "Raven?"
"Yeah?" Cyborg touched her cheek gently and she smiled at him. Without thinking, Cyborg leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. A lamp exploded nearby, Raven was so shocked. Cyborg backed off.
"I guess I'll see you later," he said. Raven nodded dumbly, and Cyborg left.
------------------------------------------------------
Of all the things I've believed, I just want to get it over with.
Terra had been awake for about an hour, staring at the ceiling. Never had she loved someone so much, yet wanted to end their relationship so badly.
Tears form behind my eyes, but I do not cry. Counting the days that pass me by.
She was all out of tears. He wasn't worth it anymore. But it just felt like all she could do was count everyday that was passing that he "loved" her less and less. There was a knock on her door.
I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old.
As Beast Boy entered her room, she thought about how long she'd searched herself to find the true feelings she held back for him. But the same thing kept coming to mind, and it was getting annoying and old. Even if she did love him, she couldn't show it anymore. She had to move on.
Feels like I'm starting all over again. The last 3 years were just pretend.
Beast Boy stood there uneasily for a minute, and Terra sat up. She realized that, though they had genuine feelings the first year they met, went out and broke up the second year, and now this, it was all probably just a game of pretend, and now she'd have to recollect herself, starting from the very beginning.
"Terra...."
And I said, Goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that I knew.
"I'm sorry Terra....but...."
"We should break up. I know,"
"How?"
"It's.....forget it. It's just time we said goodbye, Beast Boy." Terra said.
'But this is the life I've always known, and now I'm just giving it all away. But I have to, I know it,' she thought.
You were the one I loved, the one thing that I tried to hold on to.
"Beast Boy, I honestly loved you. And I was trying to hold on to that. But I can't deny it anymore, I know you love Christine, and that's all I have to say to you," Terra said.
"But-"
"Just go, please."
(Three weeks later)
I still get lost in your eyes and it seems I can't live a day without you.
Terra sat on the couch, and stole another glance at Beast Boy and Christine. They'd become a couple hours after Terra and Beast Boy broke up, and it'd been nothing but "love" ever since. Terra swore to herself she'd get over him, but she found herself in dark moments when she'd be staring at him, or thinking that she needed him.
Closing my eyes, and you chase my thoughts away to a place where I'm blinded by the light, but it's not right.
Terra closed her eyes, and she could still see his face, and it felt like they were together all over again.
'It's not right, I do NOT love him anymore!' her brain screamed at her. 'I just can't..' She got up and went to her room.
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time, I want whats yours and I want what's mine.
She wanted him back, she admitted, but then, she didn't want him. That was the hardest thing to deal with. She wanted his love, and she wanted her solitude, because she COULD NOT love him anymore.
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
'I'm not giving in, somehow I have to get over him!' She put a jacket on and left her room.
Goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that I knew, you were the one I loved, the one thing that I tried to hold on to....
Terra exited the tower. She needed to go to town, do something.
Goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that I knew, you were the one I loved, the one thing that I tried to hold on to....
She had to get away from his presence, or she'd go crazy.
The one thing that I tried to hold on to, the one thing that I tried to hold on to, The one thing that I tried to hold on to...
She sat at the pizza parlor, staring off in the distance.
And when the stars fall I will lie awake, your my shooting star.
There'd always be a place in her heart for him, but she couldn't dwell on him any longer. She knew who she needed to find.
(Three weeks before)
Beast Boy left Terra's room, wondering how she knew but then again feeling somewhat elated. He walked quickly to Christine's room.
"Well?" she said. Beast Boy smiled.
"So....."
"So?"
"I guess....you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Of course!" Beast Boy hugged her and for once they both felt all the tension of hiding from Terra, from the world, leave them in that instant. They shared a quick but passionate kiss that they'd been longing for, then Beast Boy looked deep into her eyes.
"I'm sorry I caused you so much pain," he said.
"Don't worry about it," she said, smiling.
(The next day)
Raven waited by the front door for Cyborg. She knew she was early but she was so nervous she felt like she was two hours late. Finally he walked up, right on time.
"So, you're ready to go?" he asked
"Yeah," she said. They walked out, to the garage, and Cyborg opened the door for her before getting in on his side. Raven had to meditate the whole way there, silently, so as not to blow up the car or anything.
"So...what movie do you want to see?" Cyborg asked, trying hard to keep his mind on the road instead of the beautiful girl next to him.
"Uh...doesn't matter, whatever you want to see," Raven said.
'AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS, AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS...' she repeated in her brain. They pulled up to the movie theater and got out of the car.
"So...which movie?" Raven said.
"Er...." Cyborg walked up to the list of movies playing on the outside wall of the theater. Raven stood beside him
"How about this one?" Raven said, pointing at a sign for 'Cujo 2' (A/N: Sorry guys I couldn't think of anything better ;; )
"Sure," Cyborg said, "everything else is stupid looking." He jestured to signs for "The Share Bears", "The Black and White Version of Scooby Doo", and other stupid things of the like.
"Yeah," Raven said, smiling slightly. They bought their tickets, and, despite Raven's protests, Cyborg bought both of them snacks. The movie was pretty lame, but they sat it out. The whole time Cyborg glanced over at Raven nervously, then slowly covered her hand with his. Raven looked down at his hand, somewhat shocked,then smiled up at him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"This movie is unbelievably lame," Raven whispered.
"Yeah, I know. Wanna go out to eat instead?" he asked.
"Sure, that works," Raven said. They left the movie quietly and walked out to the T-Car.
"Sorry that the movie sucked," Cyborg said as he got in the car.
"It's okay, movies aren't my favorite thing anyway," she said. They didn't know what to say the rest of the ride to the restaurant, so they sat in an awkward silence. They pulled up to a casual restaraunt on in the middle of the city. They walked in and took the first available table and waited for the waitress.
"So uh...you know how sometimes you lock yourself in your room and don't tell us what's going on? What do you really do up there?" Cyborg asked. He knew it was a stupid question-she probably meditated-but there was nothing else to say.
"Well, most of the time I meditate, but sometimes I think and write," she said.
"You write?" he asked.
"Yeah." She smiled.
"What do you write about?"
"Well, whatever I'm feeling, mostly it's before I meditate so I can capture the emotions on paper before I have to calm them," she said.
"Oh, that's really cool! Could I read one of your writings sometime?" he asked. Raven looked somewhat uncomfortable.
"I don't know, maybe. Most of the things I write are dark, depressing, or things about my past," she said.
"Well it's not like I'd like you any less," Cyborg said, smiling at her.
"You never know," Raven said.
"Yes, I do, and I also know that I want you to be my girlfriend," Cyborg said. Raven blinked and a table nearby blew up. People screamed and ducked but Raven ignored them.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I'd like that."

As for Jen? She watched these unfoldings in quiet solitude. Never commenting, never making her presence known...but soon, very soon, that would all change..
