Let Me Dream: Part Thirteen - Help Needed
"Go Away." Robin called out from the confines of his room for perhaps the eighth time since he had come home.
"Robin?" his mother called out to him.
"I wanna be left alone!" He snapped.
"Robin, you have a guest please come down." He got up from him bed and stomped over to his door. He opened it sharply, stuck his head out and yelled, "NO!" before slamming the door so hard it shook on its hinges. There was a moment of silence from below before he heard his mother state in a sugary sweet tone,
"I'm sorry dear, but Robin wants to be left alone." Robin groaned and locked the door. He flopped back down onto his bed and buried his face in his hands. He muttered out a stream of curses about how dense his mother. He got up and walked over to his stereo. He was shuffling through his CDs when he heard a thud against the side of the house. He looked up in time to see Raven climbing into his window.
"Hey! How'd you get up here?" Raven smirked.
"I flew." Robin stared at her for a minute before a small chuckle escaped. He quickly stifled it. He didn't want to laugh. He was miserable. You weren't supposed to laugh when you were miserable. "Would you like to er, talk about it?" Raven stuck her thumb through a loop in her studded belt, waiting for an answer.
"No." Robin spat the word out with every ounce of frustration he had soaking it.
"Ok, well should I fly back home then? Or do you plan on acting like the friend you say you are?" Raven took a move to climb back out the window.
"No, wait." She stopped and turned back around. "Please stay. I want you to." Robin sat on the corner of his bed and motioned that she should join him. Raven turned the computer chair so it faced the bed and sat in that.
They sat there together for a few hours. Talking about random things. Robin never meant to tell Raven what had happened, yet he somehow found himself in the middle of retelling the mornings events. His eyes burned as a few tears managed to escape despite his resolve to withhold them. Raven nodded and while her facial expressions didn't betray much of what she was thinking, Robin could tell she was actually listening to him. It was then that Robin got the idea that maybe Raven could help him. She was a girl after all.
"Hey Raven?" One of her eyebrows lifted slightly as she regarded him.
"Yes?"
"Do you think you could help me? Please. I don't know what else to do. I love her." Raven looked at Robin for a long time before nodding.
"All right. I will help you." Though even as she said it, a shadow fell on her face. Robin smiled, feeling assured that Raven could make things a little better.
"What can we do? How can I be with her?" Raven tapped her left index finger to her kohl painted lips.
"Be patient, give me some time. Just let me think about it."
