It's only fair ta warn ya: This chapter made me cry. Well, my eyes watered and my nose got stuffy, but that's crying, basically. If I was there, then I probably woulda been bawling. Maybe I'm just a 'sissy'. Oh well. Terra hurts in this so, (sniff) so do I.
XX-Goth-Gal: Aw…it's okay. Just be sure to live up to your word, or more glaring!
teentitantruefriend: Terra is my life too! (and so is Beast Boy…he is soooo cute…) (looks around) Uh…that was supposed to stay in my inner thoughts.
Raven of the Night 676: Yea! My intelligence level has risen to the point where I can create my own little sentences…thingies…whatever. Thanks, but I need to finish this story, because
I can't type it unless no one's looking over my shoulder, because my parents already worry about me, and this swearing, with mentions of achohol and other stuff story would totally be the death of me if they saw it.
I'M SICK OF IT! I CANNOT BE DEPRESSED ALL THE TIME(hardly any of the time) AND YOU CAN'T WRITE THIS STORY WHEN YOU'RE HYPER! (which I always am)
And I have other stories dying to be written.
Dude, if my friend knew you didn't like Starfire much, she'd be soo mad. But then again, if anyone hates Terra, they're in for it. Even though I can enjoy a good Terra bashing fic if it's done properly. Man, I make no sense at all. XD
Do not own Teen Titans, (gasp) I have nothing witty to say! I'm dry!
The Talking Cat: Then soak your head.
Thank you, o Talking Cat of wonderment.
The Talking Cat (of wonderment!): (tilt head)
I forgot what I was doing! (sob) Help me, o great feline!
The Talking Cat: (preppy 'ugh') Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.
(a/n: I love those two sayings! The "cry me a river" one and the "so go soak your head" one, which I got from Triforce90. Read his stories!
Chapter Seven
The three hopefuls sat in the same chairs they sat in when Gav had first slipped into the coma. Gavin's eyes were open, and he kept glancing from Tara to Dr. Lutherol, who was explaining the situation. He was propped up by pillows and the electric bed.
"He can still talk a little, but its slurry," Dr. Lutherol listed. "His fine motor skills will need fine tuning also. His powers…well, they may be a little harder to control. But overall, Gavin, you lucked out major. I'll leave you all to talk." He left.
"Mom, dad, ish it okay if I talk to Tara?" He asked. His voice sounded small compared to what it used to be. They nodded and left. Tara sighed.
"Gav…"
"Tara, somethinks wrong. Tell me." She pursed her lips.
"Kylie died the day you got shot." His eyes grew huge.
"Omigod. I'm soo sorry." She waved a hand.
"Not your fault." She sighed again. She didn't look forward to telling him this. "Gavin…"
"What?"
"I'm leaving."
"What!" he barked. "You can't!"
"I have to!" She said, crying. "Do you know how hard it is! My dad and I just finished a very informative conversation about what he thinks about me, shit, and Kylie's gone, and you're sick…"
"But I'm not dead!" he protested. "Don't I count for somethink!"
"Of course you do Gavin!" She cried. "You mean so much!" She bit her lip. "But, even though I could have a decent life with you, I know that I could find a better place somewhere." She glanced at the floor, wet with tears. She was ashamed of dreaming. "I've got to reach for it Gavin. I've got to dream."
"I dream too Tara! I dreamed tat we'd deal wit things together! I thought we'd always be friends, maybe more," Tara bit her lip harder. Her too.
"Gavin, stop it. You're not my friend if you try to guilt me out of doing what's right for me!" she spat. He recoiled.
"You're right," he said, quieter. "You're totawee right. But Tara," he lowered his voice to a desperate whisper. "It hurts."
"I know," she said, also a whisper. Gavin bit his lip.
"Are you sure…?"
"Yeah. But I love you Gavin," She lowered her head. "Don't ever forget."
"Never. I love you too much." He heaved a great sigh. "Bye Terra." She paused at the doorway.
"Bye Geoforce." A single tear trickled down her cheek before she spun around and left.
Fun Facts!
Gavin's nickname was just going to be "Geo".
I chose "Geoforce" because that's Tara's half-brother's name in the comic books.
By the way, Gavin Ligina and Garfield Logan (Beast Boy's real name in the comics). Not sure if I pointed that out before.
Gavin's power is green, whereas Tara's is yellow. That's another little sign of Beast Boy.
See ya for the finale!
