Wow, it's been an amazing 5 months since I actually worked on this story. I came up with a WHOLE bunch of others that I'm too embarrassed to post up cuz yeah…I'm self-conscious…hehe but other than that I'm hopefully gonna finish this story by the end of this year…which is in ::checks watch:: 15 days…well, here it is, I don't know how many people actually read this except like…two so yeah! Sorry to keep u waiting!

Haha, omg, I didn't know that this chapter got cut off, I hope this one uploads fine.

Oh yeah, btw, it's still from Terra's point of view

I do not own Teen Titans and I don't own…uh…anything else except the plot line…

I turned slowly and looked at the young girl, about my age. She smiled, and somehow I smiled back.

"You having problems hon?" she asked gently as she sat down next to me.

"Uh…" was my answer. "Uh" "Uh?!" What was happening to me? Couldn't my brain come up with something better to say than "Uh?!"

She laughed and gently squeezed my hand. I got a closer look at her and I suddenly felt like I'd known this girl before. Impossible, I always remember what people from all my travels looked like, and there's A LOT. But none like her. So why does she feel like she's been my friend all my life?

"Don't sweat the love thing, hon," she said. "Believe me, it's not worth the worry."

"But I really hurt him," I replied. " I was selfish and mean and-"

She held up her hand. "No más"

"Eh?" came my surprised reply. Man, I was acting so weird around her.

"Look. Let me put it to you simply. I've been watching you for the past couple of hours and I want to tell you what was never told to me." She took a deep breath and began talking.

"You my dear need to forgive yourself. You could spend a lifetime trying to figure out how to fix all the mistakes you've made, but you aren't going to get far. Listen, really listen." She took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"True friends can forgive only if you want to be forgiven. You have to prove to them you want and need them back. Don't worry so much. What happens will happen. If it all turns out bad, well at least you tried your best. If it all turns out good, fine then, you tried your best."

I stared at her as her words slowly started to sink in. Some of it was hard to understand, because I don't think she really knew what bad things I had done. But maybe…maybe…Suddenly I felt…comforted. The kind of comfort I only felt at Titans tower. And with it came…dare I say it, hope?

I stood up and realized all the work I'd have to do in order to do my "best."

"Thanks," I said as we sat up and she wiped the sand off her. "Really, thanks."

The girl smoothed out her jet black hair and smiled. "Glad to be of service."

I suddenly felt the need to run. I had to do something. Now. I start to turn and run, but she calls out after me.

"Terra! Wait." She came up to me and suddenly her demeanor change. She seemed to crawl into a shell.

"Um, could you just tell…uh, Melissa, that…ummm…"

"Whoa? You know Melissa?" I cried out.

"Yeah, yeah," she said as she stared at the waves. She stared so long at them that I thought she wasn't going to reply again, but then she spoke. "Uh, just tell her that I'm fine and thanks for the thoughts and prayers."

"Uh, sure. What's your name?" I try to hide my puzzled expression with a mask. Doesn't work.

She looked me in the eye, as if debating whether or not her name could be trusted with me.

The wind started to pick up and I shivered slightly.

"Lily," she softly said. Then she turned and ran.

"Wait!" I called out. "How do you know her?"

But she was running too fast and never once looked back. I stared at her figure until it disappeared. I sighed and looked at the setting sun. I had work to do, and it wouldn't be easy. But the reward at the end was greater than anything in this world.

Yep, there you have it people. I kinda used this chapter as a way to release some heavy emotions I've been getting this past month. She's real, you know. Well, pray that the next chapter which is half in my notebook half in my head will actually reach your eyes! Hehe, please review, it really helps me keep going knowing that I'm not writing this stuff so that it can sit on an internet shelf and gather dust.
