A/N: Sorry It's taken me so long to update, between school, and writer's block. And we just started Standardized Testing today and I'm tired, but I'm still updating because I love you! So be grateful!
Raven looked at him tears still in her eyes, she pulled her shirt back on. She looked away. Robin walked up behind her and placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered in her ear
"Please tell me. You can tell me anything," his voice was pleading.
"Could I really?"
"Yes." Raven took a deep breath and sat down.
"My father raped me at least twice a day since the age of 12 and now I'm 16. I came here when I was 14. You knew that. Before I came here and became a titan my father expected me to marry someone like him. Evil and abusive. After what he had done to me. So I left and came here. All I can remember is being the loner. I've tried suicide about six times here and when I was in Azarath. Each time someone saved me. I never wanted them to, but they still did it," she paused looking at Robin, he was nonchalant listening to her. She was grateful for that. "That's why I've always kept a dagger near my bed, and was in my room so much. I wasn't meditating like I told you guys I was. I was planning how the best way to end my life would be. Then, when I was about to, the alarm went off or I chickened out. I never could. Every time I tried something came up. I have so many scars, mental and physical. All my father ever said to me was 'you useless bitch, you have nothing to offer you're a damn half-breed. No one will ever accept you for who you are. You are destined to kill anyone or anything you ever cared about.' I started to only believe that and I was withdrawn even when people tried to reach out to me. The only person I ever thought understood me was Malchior but he was just using me, just like everyone else ever did. My life was just a dark hell-hole that no one could ever shine any light of accepting. I wouldn't let them. I put up a front of distance and sarcasm to hide the scared little girl on the inside." Robin looked at her then wrapped his arms around her waist
"I'm sorry, I had no idea. I wouldn't of done what I did if I knew. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me."
"You're the only person who actually understands me," she whispered in reply. Robin kissed her neck softly. Raven just let him her body shook with silent sobs. Robin just held her letting her cry. She never gets to cry, she never gets to show any emotion. She can never be honest with herself or others. She's too scared that if they knew the true Raven they would push her away. She's scared of rejection, just like me Robin thought to himself.
"Robin?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Listening to me, caring for me, watching over me, guarding me as if I was your own flesh and blood."
"Raven, you basically are my flesh and blood, I would do anything for you. I would die if it lessened your pain and made you feel better. I love you Raven and nothing, absolutely nothing is going to change that." Raven nodded listening to him she closed her eyes and sighed. She was safe with him, he loved her and would protect her. Always. No matter what.
Ending Note: That is the end of "Why do I feel this way?" I'll write more stories I promise. I'm thinking about writing a one-shot sooner or later. Hope you liked. Read and review. E-mail me if you have any ideas. Ja Ne! Rose
