Chapter 11: Breakaway
Days turned into months, and I found myself looking out my window at a winter wonderland. The white hurt my eyes. I remembered a time when I didn't have to look away from the white. I used to love snow, bu that was a long time ago...
I walked to the main room where everyone was. When the door opened, all I could see was that somehow, all hell had broken loose. I'm not sure how it happened, but for some reason every titan was mad at the other four. All except Starfire, who was trying (and failing!) to be referee. No one notices me walk in. Cyborg stands up and changing from yelling at Beast Boy to yelling at Raven. He snatches the book she was reading from and throws it; and the direction he just happened to hurl it was.... my direction. It hits me square in the face. I yell out in pain. When I had yelled, I heard a massive bang. I fall on my back. Everyone freezes. Everyone except Beast Boy, that is.
"No. Way. You have GOT to be kidding me. What THE HECK. DID YOU DO. TO MY....GAME?!"
I sat up and rubbed my forehead. I looked up and saw a blank screen and a steaming play station.
A steady stream of apologies poured from my mouth. I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I ran downstairs and out the door in tears. My communicator fell to the floor with a clatter. Finally outside, I shivered, but made my decision. I ran as hard as I could waiting for the wind to thrust me to the sky.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But, I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away....
My tears fell like rain. I flew until I couldn't recognize where I was and the air was warm. I had flown so long, that i even saw the turquiose water below me that meant there was some kind of tropical island nearby. I turned my wings down, and settled on the sand.
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean....
A seagull woke me. I shooed him away. It flew away with a squak and left me a white feather. 'So similar.....'
Nobody could take me in for too long. Nobody wanted me. Not even the titans. But it did hurt to leave them behind.....
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Tears stung my eyes again. I ran towards the shore, taking off over the water. My toes hit a passing wave, so i pulled up. And up. And up.
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But, I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
