Finally, the first songfic of the story! This one has Avril Lavigne's song "Nobody's Home". R&R!
So, anyway, let's recap, shall we? Long story short: Raven fell into the sewers. Beast Boy just kicked the HIVE's butts and is going crazy because he wants to go search for Raven but the others won't let him. So here's the next chapter. R&R!
Also, in the previous chappies, I made some obvious mistakes that export won't let me fix for some retarded reason. When I said that Jinx used her Starbolts to break that chain, it's supposed to be she used her powers. And I accidentally ended the first chapter with a "/" not a period.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four remaining Titans walked into the Tower, coming home from an absolutely fruitless search for Raven. Everything was too quiet. Starfire stood there cheerlessly, looking down at her feet. She was sad because her best friend was gone forever.
As a matter of fact, all of the Titans felt just like Star did; they just had different ways of showing it. Cyborg never played videogames anymore and Robin was working on his self defense way more often than usual- almost 24/7. Starfire was practically never happy anymore, and to sum it all up, none of them really talked to each other anymore. It was always too quiet.
But Beast Boy had it worst of all. He was always in his room except for when he had to eat and go to the bathroom; he even found time to clean it. But even still, he never ate much anymore either. After the first couple of weeks he lost almost ten pounds, and he was already pretty small for his age before Raven died. He was basically a mental wreck until Robin decided to say something.
I couldn't tell you
Why he felt that way
He felt it every day.
(A/N: I know I changed the words around a bit, but hey, otherwise it wouldn't make sense!)
Robin's POV
And I couldn't help him
I just watched him make the same mistakes again
Robin was about to go talk to Beast Boy. Like I said before, he wasn't eating, so if he kept this up he would probably die of starvation soon.
What's wrong what's wrong now?
Too many too many problems
Don't know where he belongs,
Where he belongs
He wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where he lies
Broken inside.
Beast Boy had hardly left his room for literally a month now; if you would believe it the other three were actually desperate for one of Beast Boy's bad jokes.
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry his eyes, broken inside.
They were all sad that she was gone, but it was a full four weeks now. All of the rest of them had gotten over it one way or another. Not that they didn't care about Raven, but Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg all knew Beast Boy would have to sooner or later.
Open you eyes
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You've been rejected
And now you can't find what you've left behind.
Be strong be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where he belongs where he belongs
"Beast Boy, you okay?" Robin asked once he got to Beast Boy's door
"Go away!" was his obvious response.
"You have to come out of there!"
"No I don't"
He wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where he lies
Broken inside
with no place to go, no place to go
To dry his eyes
Broken inside
"Listen, Bb, we're sad that Raven's, well…" Robin decided not to complete his sentence, "But we all got over it. You've gotta too."
Beast Boy never answered.
"Bb, can I come in?" Robin asked hesitantly.
"Fine, whatever."
Robin walked in and sat down on a chair placed in the middle of the room. Beast Boy was lying down on his bed, not turning to face him. "Beast Boy, you've been a complete wreck ever since it happened, you know."
"Do I look like I give a damn?!?" Beast Boy said sarcastically.
"We've all been worried about you."
Beast Boy finally turned around; Robin at last got a look at what his friend looked like now. He might as well have been a skeleton with green skin, but he wasn't that green anymore- more of a pale green now, not so much of a vibrant shade anymore-like he was about to puke. Plus, his cheekbones stood out greatly, and his clothes were very baggy on him because he lost so much weight.
Robin's immediate response to seeing his friend in this condition for the first time in a month was, "Beast Boy, you need to eat something!"
"What's the point?" Beast Boy screamed.
"You physically need to eat something," Robin yelled right back.
"So, I guess the only reason you came wasn't to tell me about my eating habits?" Beast Boy suddenly seemed calm.
"Well, I guess I noticed something," Robin said, "when Terra turned to stone, you did exactly the same thing then, but now you're acting like there's nothing left for you."
"That's because there isn't!" Beast Boy started yelling again.
Robin hesitated for a moment. There was no other adjective for the way he felt right now- guilty. He wanted to leave Bb alone right now, but, as leader of the team, he felt obligated to help him in some way. There was no way he could just leave. "Wh-What was Raven to you?"
Beast Boy lay back down on his bed again, not facing Robin. "Everything! When Terra- and now Raven- and now they're both gone forever, and I have nothing left."
Practically cued, the alarm went off and a red light circled around every room in the Tower. Starfire flew down the hallway outside the room and Cyborg shortly followed. "C'mon, guys, it's Slade!" Cyborg screamed.
Normal POV
"I'm fine, let's go," Beast Boy finally walked out of his room.
Starfire and Cyborg just gaped at Beast Boy like he just swore about tofu. "Friend, you are NOT fine! You have not eaten in weeks!" Starfire was quiet for a few seconds, then, "Slade will kill you if you persist!"
"I said I was fine. Without me, there's no doubt that Slade'll win," Beast Boy repeated.
"Beast Boy, just stay behind for this one," Robin ordered, "We can handle this."
And Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg left Beast Boy alone in the tower, pending their fruitless return.

I know this chapter seemed kinda plot-less, but hey, some chappies have to be. The next one's song will be "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence.
