Author's Note:

I got the inspiration of this title from the awesome anime show that gives at 1:00 a.m. from "CASE CLOSED".... It rocks... I have to say... but I haven't been able to write in AGES! IM SOOO SORRY! Two words... "SCHOOL SUCKS"! I've been loaded with work! But I promise... I will try to update as much as I can... I have been writing in this black composition notebook... and I'm so excited! I have like the next three chapters in there! Thanks to ALL Of the Reviewers! And Keep "REVIEWING" Without further ado... here is chapter 11.

The Truth Prevails

The tension that was steadily building up was practically unbearable. The skies did not at all compare to those prior. They stood covered in dark gray unwanted clouds, those which were definitely signaling a storm. It was treacherous, but the silence in the cavern was certainly worse.

Beast Boy whistled as he stared up at the for-longing skies that traveled miles on end.

"Looks like a storm is drawing in," he said to fill the silence they seemed to be caught in. He looked back towards Clay and Raven. She was mending the serious wound on his head. And for a mere minute, he felt his blood boil slightly. But the jealousy almost immediately faded away. Clay spoke in response to Beast Boy's declaration.

"We should get going. Trigon's grave is awaiting to be fully destroyed. We want to beat the storm of course."

Raven nodded slightly. She instantly looked away hiding the hurt she had to keep bottled up. Beast Boy caught the swift yet noticeable emotions and slowly neared towards her.

"Rae, you okay?" he questioned putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. She felt the affection and tenderness but thought better of it and removed his hand from touching her. That move only made their hands touch slightly causing the clamminess to become worse. His hand fell to his side.

She deliberately avoided his hurt face.

"Beast Boy," she started in that oh so familiar monotone voice." He doesn't understand." She thought inwardly, 'he doesn't understand how hard this is for me to avoid him that way.'

Before she had temporarily lost her powers, it was easy to avoid him. But now, it was difficult, she had experienced all kinds of emotions. She now actually knew what love was. And now... it hurts. It's much harder for her now. She gulped before continuing contemplating her thoughts.

"Beast Boy, you have to stop. I can't handle it-"

Beast Boy angrily stopped her in mid sentence knowing her coming words.

"Rae! I can't just stop. I can't just stop lov-"

She covered his mouth to stop him from saying those words.

"Don't say it." She demanded.

"-Loving you." he continued ignoring her command. A bow and arrow struck her heart. She fell to her knees. He said the words that were breaking her apart; the words that were literally eating her inside.

"Raven!" Bb yelped falling to her side. Clay stood in the background, completely silent.

"Beast Boy," she said while gazing up into his intoxicating eyes. "Beast Boy, I can't love. I don't want to love. I can't give you all that anymore. I wouldn't be able to give you all that you give me... you have to understand."

"Raven, it's beyond that. I can live without sex!" he said in disbelief of the words that were slipping gout.

"No you can't." she said truthfully. "Nor would I be able to. Our relationship would be stuck in one place forever. Aren't relationships suppose to move forward?"

Clay's eyes widened as he plugged his ears. It was useless however.

"Don't you want that in a relationship B-"she paused, "Bb?"

"We still could-"

"No! We just can't. Sex... it's – it's basically impossible. I told Clay once and now I'm telling you... why doesn't anybody get this-" Raven stopped at her words. That came out very very very very very wrong.

Clay was on the verge of slipping out of the cave. He felt that a world war III was coming.

"I wasn't even talking about sex... WAIT... You almost had sex with Clay?" Beast Boy asked bewildered.

"NO!" the both beckoned panting.

"I don't know he-he just asked."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE MY-"

"Uhh." Raven fell to the floor yet again.

"Raven, what's the matter?"

"Every time I deny an emotion, it uses a way to console itself. This particular one... is... is evidently hurting me. Don't you understand? I'm just hurting the both of us. Beast Boy, I can't properly love."

"Raven, I'm sorry..." he said reaching out to hold her.

"Don't touch me," she said trying to signal a definite end to the conversation. He frowned before noticing the marks around her neck. They looked like hickies.

"What's that around your neck?" Beast Boy inquired interested. She tried to tuck it away but Bb only lowered her leotard to see it better. They were certainly bruises. "How... why..."

She slightly grimaced as they stung and looked away.

"I have to stop loving you Beast Boy and you have to stop loving me. We both get hurt. It's not a win win situation."

"The only reason you get hurt is because you keep it insi-"

"You don't understand."

"What is it that I don't understand? Maybe if you told me-"

"You want to know? Fine! I almost killed the first guy I almost kissed! Because my powers are so uncontrollable and very unpredictable, I caused a tree to fall over. Bb... we were sitting in front of that tree. Now... imagine if we were doing more than kissing... imagine what I might of done to him then?"

"I actually don't want to imagine you doing anything more with another guy."

She rolled her eyes.

"Raven, you're too hard on yourself."

Well you know what Beast Boy.... I have to be... I have no other choice. Life isn't fair.... In fact... it's a bunch of shit."
