CHAPTER 8: Understanding Her Emotions

Beast Boy carried his beloved Terra up to her. She had silenced her tears for the moment. It almost seemed as if she was asleep, as still as she was. He looked down at her in his arms. It was as if she was a fallen angel with broken wings, and he was the only one who could mend them back together. He just continued to stare down at her, until they reached her room.

He opened the door and walked in. That's when her sobs began to come back. They started out as quiet whimpers of pain, and then became immense. He placed her on her bed and watched her for a moment. Her frail body shook violently. And she looked lonely, even though he was right next to her. She was still soaked from the rain and himself too.

"I'll be right back, just wait here." He ordered. With that he left the room.

Her world around her…seemed as if it never existed. It slowly disappeared in front of her and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She let the world that she once knew slip through her gloved fingers. She could no longer imagine a life of happiness. Her dreams were shattered into a million pieces and so was her heart.

The rooms silence engulfed her. And all hatred and depression taunted her. Her tears continued to race each other. Her eyes of ocean blue were now over flowing because the dam had broken, killing many people at heart. The dam could not be easily repaired, neither her spirit.

Beast Boy walked back into the room with fresh towels. He walked over to her bed and sat down at the head of her bed. He put the towels down and motioned Terra over to where he sat.

She noticed and crawled over and sat next to him. Every thing was silent for what seemed a millennium. He wanted to calm her rapid soul. But he was waiting for the right moment.

"…Beast Boy…" She said. She didn't say another word. His name was all she could say. She slowly began to lay down next to him. She huddled closer to him for comfort. His body was cold, but some how kept her warm.

He could feel her cold body trembling against him. He picked up a towel and wrapped it around her, to keep her warm. He hugged her so close, there was no such thing as personal space.

She sobbed and whimpered as reality treated her like the runt of the litter. She buried her face in Beast Boy's chest. She just wanted to cry until there was nothing left of her.

She wanted to cry forever and stay in his embrace. Life was her enemy. She lived in her mind, which reality polluted. Every thing she lived was a lie and stained.

Beast Boy loved this girl more than life itself. As her life drifted away it seemed as if he was drifting along with it, because she was apart of his heart. He was one of the 5 guardians of Jump City. He had to put that aside…he had a new responsibility. He had to take care of the girl that of his dreams, because he was the only guardian of her fragile heart.

He wasn't going to let her drift away from him again. He was going to hold on forever. Even if she were gone, he would still hold her close by heart.

"I'm…sorry." Terra choked in a whisper.

Beast Boy heard her. It was official. She was sorry. Those words would forever taint her lips with rejoice of renewal. Just two words can change some ones world. And that was step one for her.

She cried… and cried. She felt like laying down and dying. But if she died, then BB would be the one crying a storm of a lost loved one. If she died then that would be the end of his life.

"Shhh…it's okay, I'm here, Terra…" Beast Boy reassured. He just wanted to kiss her and absorb all of her pain and take it upon himself. He wanted her to be care free. He would rather live a life of pain then watch Terra suffer like this.

Terra lifted her head and stared at him. Her turmoil increased vastly. She couldn't believe her ears…he was here. Right in front of her, ready for her. He had been there from the beginning but she couldn't see that. He was here to comfort her. He was there…for her.

This made her cry even more. She had some thing she didn't deserve. She had Beast Boy. She felt like she wasn't good enough for him. She only deserved to sink down into the ground and never live to see day light again. She once again buried her face into his chest.

Life…was…everlasting to Terra, when she wanted it to end most. It kept going on and haunting her. She had no control of her power, or her life. She was lost in a sea of tidal waves filled with the darkest and most unwanted memories. She stumbled in the dark, with no light to help her get up. She couldn't get up. nothing could get her to move her cemented body. It was as if she was still combined in that stone prison. It kept her trapped in the darkest of thoughts and life. She was still inside that stone body, which blocked her view of the bright side of life. Her memories remained broken, her heart blinded by reality, her eyes over flowed with tears, and her soul still crying.

Garfield looked down at the throbbing girl resting next to him. She was hurt and wanted her life to end. Before another sad thought could escape, Terra began to speak.

"Beast Boy, I never wanted to hurt you, I broke your heart. I'm so sorry… I wanted control so badly; I guess I forgot about the people who actually cared…I'm sorry." She confessed.

Beast Boy barely smiled. She was free, free of all her memories of despair, but she could never be free until she cried out every tear of the past. Every past event put tears to her eyes and she had fought those tears for so many years, but she finally broke down. She fought the war and lost to injury.

"Why do people hate me so much…why can't they see I'm sorry?" She gasped softly.

"Because…You broke everybody's heart, every body in the city knows that you betrayed us and broke hearts, and you broke my heart too. But I forgive you and in time a lot of people will forgive you. You hurt a lot of people Terra, but you'll have the opportunity to heal them again. Just stay with the titans and every thing will be alright!" Beast Boy lectured.

"How am I supposed to stay with the titans, if one of them is trying to kill me?" Terra asked trying to hold in more sobs.

"…She's not going to kill you, because I'm going to protect you, no matter what it takes, I'll never let you go…I'll never let you go Terra…" BB claimed.

Terra sobbed more. He could never let her go…Truth is… it was her who could never let him go. She loved him and there was nothing in the world that could separate them at that moment. She loved being in his embrace and listen to him. She was beginning to see something…like a ray of hope…the ray was so warm and caring. It made her feel free of her problems. It made her feel loved and understood. And that ray was Beast Boy. He was saving her from a land of hurt and a life of depression. He was her love and a true one to add.

Tears continued to roll down her face, but the sobbing was discontinued. She laid her head on his chest. She thought about being a titan again. Fighting crime, training, being with friends, being with Garfield…It was a dream that was still a monument to her. She wasn't sure if she was going to be a titan again, but she could try. She just had to regain their trust, a very difficult task to complete, but she could wasn't going to give up. The thought brought out the true smile of the true Terra and the true blue ocean eyes. The storm of tears was over and it turned into a small drizzle.

Beast Boy smiled. She was back. The Terra that he loved and cherished was back…and he was overjoyed about it. He did some thing he wasn't going to do for a while but it seemed now was the right moment.

He kissed Terra on the cheek causing Terra to flinch a little. They weren't ready for lip to lip contact. He decided to wait on that moment for a couple of months or so.

Terra had settled down in his arms and tears came only a few at a time. Then she spoke, her voice was almost in its original tone which was a good sigh.

"Hey Beast Boy?" Terra started.

"Yah…" He answered.

"If you really care about me, then I could tell you anything, right?" She asked.

"Yah, of course!" He assured.

"Well, when I was little my parents kicked me out…well, actually they watched me run away and they were happy about it." Terra told.

It turns out she was telling him her life story, which he could relate to, he too had runaway and traveled for awhile, not to mention being teased for being green. She traveled around every where, and every where she went her power got out of control causing avalanches, earthquakes, mudslides…killing many people in the process. For that she ran and ran. Then she met the titans and told Beast Boy her secret of traveling. Then she had a conversation with Slade about her secret and bribed her and then Robin guessed about her power being out of control, causing her to feel betrayed and run away. She came back and hurt people during betrayal then sacrificed herself to save the city.

She had a truly sad story and telling it caused her to cry again, but the sobs were soft and not as bad. She still remained in his embrace for comfort and BB just refused to let her out of it.

"Hey T, all of us have sad stories to tell about our pasts. You can talk to any of us about it." Beast Boy reassured.

"Yah, well, I feel more comfortable talking to you about it; because…you actually care about me and I can trust you." Terra replied.

"That's because…You're my best friend and I'm here for you. And I'm not going to let Raven kill you, because if she did…I would lost without you." Beast Boy confessed.

This brought tears to the back of her eyes; she had someone who cared and someone who would risk his life for her…because he loved her.

"Hey Beast Boy…" Terra started.

"What?" He asked

"…Thanks…" She trailed off.

"You're welcome Terra." He answered back.

They said nothing after that because Terra was drifting off to sleep. It was 12:00am and they were exhausted, Terra especially. Beast Boy didn't leave her side. He decided to stay with her that night, because he wasn't sure what Raven might try to do. And he didn't want to leave her alone, since she still needed someone for comfort. He also didn't want to wake her, she looked so peaceful sleeping. He didn't go to sleep that night, but he was still dreaming…dreaming of a future with her.
