Chapter Thirteen: The Worst Part of it All


Precious Star (By we gots good grammar!)

You loved her.
It wasn't that hard to see,
The way you called her your shining Star,
And they way you looked into her eyes.
And yet, you caused her demise.

She loved you.
It wasn't that hard to see,
The way she always took your side,
Even if you were wrong, and she knew it.
But for you, she just wasn't fit.

You left her.
For some average, ordinary, everyday type of girl.
But she was different, special, unique.
And you threw it all away.
And it just took a day.

And yet, she still loved you.
How, I'm not quite sure.
You pushed her away, ignored her, caused her pain
And yet still, she couldn't stop loving you.
So she did the only thing that she could do.

And now she's dead.
All because of you.
She couldn't take the pain, the hate, the loss.
So she took her own life,
In a blink of an eye and a flash of a knife.

Now do you realize,
How much you loved her?
All that pain you caused her,
Was forced back to you in the harshest way,
And now, all you want is for her to have stayed.

It was all your fault,
Nobody else's, just yours.
And all you can do for her now,
Is move on, but don't forget, take the memories far.
And don't forget,

Your once precious Star

(Might use in future chapters… but don't you love it? So beautiful!)


"It's so simple," Starfire said to herself, licking her chapped lips. "So easy, so desirable," Her long, now wet, hair danced and whipped around her shoulders and face. A sick smile grew across her face and she stood tall. As though being crucified, she raised her arms higher, higher and closed her eyes.

"It's too easy, and yet so hard." she murmured, and leaned forward…

Starfire felt the freezing air rush past her, watching the rocks come nearer and nearer. She looked up for a split second and saw a green hawk soar across the sky. Somewhere she heard a shout, a scream…. Her body felt stiff and cold, and Starfire realized what was happening. The ground was so close…

"STARFIRE, NO!" a voice screamed, as a bird-a-rang (rope thing-y) wrapped around her waist and caught her in the air.

Tears slipped down Starfire's face. She felt hatred and frustration fill her body.

A large black energy surrounded her body, gently pulling her up.

She was only ten feet away from the water, away from the sharp jagged rocks. She was so close… this just wasn't fair. How did they know?

Two hands pulled her up, Cyborg's and Raven's. Robin had his arms tightly around her waist, helping them pull her up. As if she couldn't do it on her own. Starfire felt numb and stiff. She looked at her friends. Raven had tears in her eyes, and Beastboy looked pained and confused. Cyborg had a frown on his face, but relief shone in his eyes, relieved that Starfire was alive. Robin looked unbelievably shocked, hurt, and angry, the emotions on his face screaming at her, 'Why?'

Directly behind them, she saw was RedX. He had shrunken back, avoiding her gaze. Wrath boiled inside her. He told them.

Beastboy was talking to her, Starfire realized. Same with Raven… Cyborg… RedX… they were all shouting at her. Robin remained silent, staring at her. Starfire yearned for him to shout at her, scream at her, push her, or even hit her, anything!

"What do you think you were doing?" Beastboy yelled.

"I'm sorry, I had to tell them! I couldn't let you die, Star! Don't look at me like that!" RedX protested, saddened by her glares.

"Why didn't you talk to us, Star?" Cyborg demanded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Raven asked.

Starfire looked at her friends, Raven, Beastboy, Cyborg, RedX, and then looked at Robin. Was she really being selfish? Or were they? Would they be more unhappy if she left, than she would if she remained living?

Starfire glared at the ground, not looking at any of them, not making a single noise. She hated them for saving her, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE SAVED! She didn't care if this was the coward's way out, she didn't care if Raven, Beastboy, or Cyborg would miss her when she died, she didn't care about anything! Nothing seemed to matter anymore; it hadn't for a long time now.

After realizing that she wouldn't talk to them, Robin ordered them to take Starfire back into her room. Beastboy agreed to watch her, and Robin and Cyborg would guard her door, while RedX guarded her window.

Cyborg walked Starfire back to her room, "I promise, Star, things will get better. You scared the shit out of us, girl! Please don't ever do that again, please. You promise?" He pleaded, grabbing her gently, but forcing her to look at him.

"That is not fair at all, Cyborg." Was all Starfire said, walking into her room. Beastboy was in there, to make sure she didn't do anything. Cyborg and Robin guarded the door.

Starfire sighed. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, she had to be watched like some item! She sat on her bed, burying her face into her pillow. All she got was a deep cotton-y scent, and nothing more. She turned her attention to a book lying next to her. It was titled 'Learn to Love Yourself!' A self-help book. Starfire grimaced, and threw the book across the room. Beastboy jumped, startled, looking at her in slight fear. She ignored him and snatched one of her favorite books out of the shelf, called 'Little Woman'. She smiled briefly, remembering the last time she had read that book. It was the night she had gotten a head ache, the night Sandra came back home with them. She put the book back, suddenly saddened, realizing the book would forevermore scar her.

She took To Kill a Mocking Bird instead. But outside, she could hear every word her other friends were saying.

"Raven, talk to her! She only listens to you!" Robin begged. She needed to meditate. Things were breaking, snapping, ripping, melting, and bursting into flames by the second. At this rate, they would need new windows, light bulbs, and lamps, or even a new tower in less than five minutes.

"I will in, but give me fifteen minutes, okay? I need to calm down." She snapped, trying to control her emotions. Robin nodded, letting her walk to her room.

Inside her room, Raven floated in the air. She needed her peace and quiet. She needed to relax, to calm down… "Azerath Metrion Zinthos… Azerath Metrion Zinthos… Azerath Metrion Zinthos…"

After ten minutes, she stopped. 'I need to talk to Starfire, before Robin has a nervy spaz on me…' She could feel his presence, walking towards her room, about to yell at her to hurry up. She stopped him before he could, and decided against communicating with her physically. 'Talking with her telepathically might be easier,' she decided.

'Starfire!' She called inside her head, sending a clairvoyant (A/N: Oh! Big word! Oh! It's a synonym for 'telepathic') Call to her alien friend. After a few seconds, Starfire answered.

'Yes?' Her voice sounded full of fatigue and weariness. Raven felt depressed just listening to it.

'Star…come on, why didn't you talk to me? You're my best friend; I don't understand why you, of all people, would consider killing yourself. I thought you were stronger than that, Starfire, I thought you could move on! Robin isn't worth this!'

Starfire was silent a moment, obviously miffed. 'Raven, I thought you of all people would understand... Do you think I'm being selfish, Raven? You believe I am being selfish'

Raven felt anger boil inside Starfire; she felt Starfire's body tremble and shake, as though it was her shaking. 'LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S BEING SELFISH! YOU WANT ME ONLY TO STAY ALIVE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. WHAT ABOUT ME? THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU!' Starfire exploded. 'WHY SHOULD I WASTE AWAY, WHILE YOU LIVE A PERFECT LIFE? IT'S NOT FAIR, RAVEN! YOU ARE NOT BEING FAIR! I HATE THIS, RAVEN! I HATE THIS!'

There was a knock on Raven's door. "I'm busy," she snapped, hoping it wasn't Beastboy and trying to decide what to say to comfort Starfire.

"Raven… it is I, Starfire," Starfire said from the other side of the door. Directly behind her were Cyborg and Robin, practically breathing down her neck. This greatly annoyed her. "I know you're busy, you've been extremely busy lately… but can I please talk with you?"

Raven got the hint. "Star…" she groaned, opening her door. "I know I've been busy, but it doesn't mean you can't talk with me. Beastboy and I are always there for you, you saved our lives. Same with Cyborg, Bee, and RedX, we all really care about you Starfire. We'll always be there for you," Robin felt deeply offended that he wasn't mentioned, and was about to say something nasty to Raven when Starfire walked in, slamming the door in his and Cyborg's face.

"I probably deserved that…" Robin murmured, in shock that Starfire would slam a door in his face. Usually, it was the other way around.

Cyborg snorted, "That's the understatement of the year. I'm surprised she hasn't killed you yet!" Robin followed Cyborg, too tired to retort angrily.


Inside Raven's room, Starfire moved towards Raven's bed, running her fingers through her still-wet hair. "Raven, why do I feel so… strange? Tired, extremely unhappy… Why can't I stop? I used to love getting up in the morning… now I dread it. I feel so cold all the time; I don't feel like smiling anymore." Raven felt the girls sorrow. She sat next to her, and leaned against her.

"I'm here Star," Raven reassured. "I'm listening."

Starfire nodded, feeling relieved. She continued, "Why am I constantly reminded of things… horrific things of my past, things that I only remember in my nightmares? Why am I sad that Sandra is gone? I don't understand anything anymore. The last time I smiled was when I asked RedX to kill me!" She still wasn't crying.

Raven patted her back, "It's okay Starfire, we're here to help you. We're your friends," She started singing softly a soft Azerathian song, which always helped her feel better when she was upset or afraid. Her voice was very pretty, and calm, and Starfire enjoyedhearing her sing, something she had never heard or seen Raven do. (I do not own this song. Belongs to Louis Sachar! DO NOT SUE, PLEASE!)

"If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply;

Reflecting the sun and all that's gone by.

Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly.

Fly high my baby bird,

My angel, my only."

Raven repeated it until Starfire began humming along to it, closing her eyes. "That was most lovely, friend Raven…" Raven smiled suddenly, a burst of emotion flowing through her body. 'Starfire sounded just like her old self just then,' Neither of them moved when Raven's window cracked. They had grown used to such inconveniences.

"Starfire, we are going to help you get through this. I can help you, and so can RedX, and Beastboy, and Cyborg. But to do this, you need to stop loving Robin! He does nothing but hurt you! I mean… you don't still love him, right?"

Starfire frowned, "I still care for him, that's why I wanted to leave. I wanted him to be happy with Sandra, but then she left and… well; I guess it was not really about Robin anymore,"

Raven nodded, "You've cared for him for a long time now, and all he has done is cause you pain. In fact, tell me everything he has done to you, from the moment Sandra came, that made you cry, or made you sad."

Starfire sighed, "I know he is not perfect… but I do remember when he and I were best friends, when I thought there was a chance for him to love me. He taught me so many things; he shared with me, held me when I was frightened or unhappy. He has had an awful past, and could relate to mine. He taught me that my happiness couldn't hide my sorrow, and for the first time in a long time, I mourned the death of my parents and brother. I remember he held me when I did… He also defended me many times before Sandra came; he was kind and patient with me most of the time. He was, and still is so serious, smart, and handsome. I have so many fond memories of him; they just somehow beat out all the bad things. I've always wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and when I heard him tell Sandra he didn't care about me… everything I once knew grew strange and hateful. Everything changed, Raven. It grew so frigid, and gray. I felt alone and sad, and I cried all the time. I hate crying, Raven, I cannot stand it! I killed Terra, one of my old best friends… and Robin was correct, I killed her even though I knew I had stopped the rocks from hitting you guys, before I stabbed her. I knew this, and could have kept both you guys and her alive, but I killed her out of anger anyway. I keep remembering Sandra crying over her dead best friend… I know I would have cried like that if Terra had killed you. Robin was always saying awful things to me, and was always staring angrily at me. I think he once tried to make me cry, at the party… he was watching me, as he was leaning in to kiss Sandra. He looked so cruel, as though he enjoyed seeing me cry. I think I hated him for a moment when he did that. But that isn't the worst part…" Starfire paused, gasping for breath.

Raven felt tears in her eyes. 'How could I have not known this? Why didn't she tell me?'

"I want to help you Star," She murmured, tears sliding down her face.

Starfire looked at her sadly, "The worst part of it all is that after all that, I know I still love him,"

SEVERE WRITERS BLOCK MAGICALLY OVER…


Starfire walked out of Raven's room, looking somewhat better. Her hair was no longer wet, but a little wavy from being air dried. She looked chilly and her nose was a little pink.

"I wish to retire to my room for sleep now, please," She said softly, not directly to Robin, even though he was the only one there.

He smiled a little, determined to make her smile, "I shall be your escort, milady!" To his delight, her lips curved upward slightly, into a smile.

He took her arm to walk her down, and the smile vanished. She flinched from his touch, and it killed him to see her so… meek in front of him. She walked ahead, leaving him behind.

"Star… I-" He called, surprised at how pleading his voice sounded. He followed her without another word. RedX and Beastboy were both leaning up against Starfire's door when they reached it.

RedX nodded at her, "Hey Star… listen, I'm sorry, but I have to go home. I've got a family to take care of and well… they need me right now," Robin and Beastboy exchanged confused looks. Starfire didn't seem shocked whatsoever.

He left and Beastboy said something about checking in with Raven. Cyborg had left a while ago, to take care of his car, to try and get the stress off his mind. That left Robin.

Starfire didn't seem to notice, but walked into her room. She was about to close the door when Robin caught it before it slammed shut. That would have been the second door slammed in his face by her, that day. "Whoa Star, I can't leave you alone!"

She turned around, "Then call for Raven, but don't stay with me." She snapped, in a very un-like Starfire manner.

Robin was taken back, hurt. The he recovered, "Why not me? Come on Star, aren't I your best friend?"

Starfire rolled her eyes, a bad habit she picked up from Raven. "If you must know, no, you are not!"

"What is with you? Why are you so upset? I doubt it's because Sandra leaving, and if this is about your garden dying, I'm sorry, but it happens yearly, sorry I never informed you!" Robin snapped.

"THIS ISN'T ABOUT MY PLANTS, ROBIN! IT'S ABOUT YOU!" Starfire shouted, her eyes glowing in rage. "Don't you dare mistake me for some stupid girl! I may be naïve, but I am well educated enough to understand that when your cold season comes, Earth plants die!"

Robin stared at her. It was about him? "Star… I'm sorry; I didn't mean to offend you-"

"I would prefer it if you left," Starfire said stiffly, turning her back on him and facing the window. Rain still felt in sheets.

"Starfire, I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You might jump out the window or… I dunno, hang yourself, or something!" He exclaimed, exasperatedly.

She raised her eye brows, "Hmm… hang myself, never thought of that, thank you Robin." She joked, cruelly. She was slightly enjoyed his distress.

Robin narrowed his eyes. "Starfire, that is NOT funny… do you think this is a joke, Star? We all care about you! You don't care about us at all! You are just being a selfish bitch, who doesn't think of anyone but herself!"

Starfire turned around. "I CARE ABOUT YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE! IT IS YOU WHO IS BEING SELFISH, ROBIN! I WAS GOING TO KILL MYSELFYOU'RE OWN SAKE, NOT THAT YOU CAN SEE IT!" She was seeing red. Nothing had ever made her this angry before.

Robin glared back at her, "WANNA STOP TALKING IN RIDDLES AND TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO MEAN? OR DO I HAVE TO GUESS? I DON'T THINK YOU MEAN A WORD OF THAT!"

A starbolt formed in Starfire's hand, and at the same time, Robin yanked out his bow-staff. They were boring holes into each other's eyes, and if glaring could kill, both would be six feet under. Starfire looked into Robin's eyes, feeling all the anger towards anyone in the past months, gather in her hands.

"I hate you," She declared, causing him to loose his focus for a moment. She had won. He dropped his bow staff to the ground, in shock.

"Star?" he murmured, looking devastated. 'She hates me… she hates me… she hates me, I've blown it forever. She hates me, what have I done?'

Starfire felt her heart being ripped to pieces. The anger in her hands instantly went out, and her eyes softened.

He looked at her questioningly, "You hate me? Why?"

She lost control. She felt her heart swell; she knew it must be a disease. 'I must be dying of heart break. I must be drowning in sorrow. I've got to be!'

"I don't hate you," she whispered, sinking to the floor. Darkness filled her eyes, and Robin caught her as she collapsed to the floor, shaking.

"I don't either Star, I could never hate you," Robin whispered, holding the trembling girl.

"It hurts Robin; it hurts so much, please make it stop. Please make the pain go away." She sobbed, no tears falling down her face. He looked at her, stroking her hair.

"It's okay, shh… shh… shh…" He murmured, loving this closeness with Starfire. It suddenly hit him.

'I'm in love with this girl,' He realized. He had always doubted it, but right then, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He glanced down at her, and she was already fast asleep.

"I love you," He whispered, as Starfire continued to dream.


Oh Yay! Long overdue Starfire and Robin fluff! I know I have OOC characters, but this is my story thank you very much! I would appreciate it if you didn't bash me on 'killing Starfire' I saved her so you guys wouldn't jump down my throat. I don't believe in happy endings… but I don't like it when I make you guys cry so, there's a possibility for a happy ending. Not a big one… but a possibility!

By the way! My last poll, I asked what people would like to see, if we have a Starfire Season. Many of you said her past, rob/star fluff… BUT WHAT ABOUT REDX? I so want a romance between them, I think that's what her season might be based on… not necessarily a romance between them, but a lot about him. –Cheers- YAY! I'm so happy! I really hope they decide to do that!


Reviews!

we gots good grammar: Hello! You didn't title your poem… so I just called it Precious Star! And I indicated that it was written by you. You saw Batman? AWESOME! I want to see that so bad, and all my friends make fun of me for it, lol. You've seen the Spiderman movies, right? Which do you think are better? I think they should have put Keanu Reeves to play Batman, he would have been great. Anyways, glad you like my story! Loved your story!

XxJeterxX: I'm overjoyed you like it! YAY! Prophecy was cool! I like it too. Stranded… could have been better, but I thought the way Robin acted in the episode was simply adorable. He acted so… normal! Different, he doesn't usually act that way. Beastboy was being so funny, and Raven… well, I envied her. I love the quote:

Cyborg: 'Look, this isn't rocket science!'

Beastboy: -Glare-

Cyborg: 'Okay so it is… but it's not that hard!'

Moo-hoo-hahahaha! Very funny! Glad you like my story!

Ldy-Florry: Cruel and evil? Me? …yeah, I guess. Lol, I'm glad you like it!

Cute-Funky-guRL: I didn't really update fast… -Flees from shower of rocks- I'M SORRY! X… sort of came to the rescue, they all kind of did. Speedy/Terra is one of you favorite pairings? Hmm… different, I don't know if I like it or not. Thanks for reviewing!

PinkFlamingo44: Hello my ever faithful reviewer! –Sends gummy bears and chocolates for reviewing for me so much- Yay! Kill Star? Me? Um… er… arr… well… HAVE SOME MORE CANDY! –Dumps garbage truck full of candy at your home- Enjoy! But seriously, I don't know if I'll kill Star or not… we'll just have to wait and find out! Oh, and I totally agree. There should have been a make out scene between Starfire and Robin in the cave, I mean… if they do it in Justice League, WHY NOT TT? Arg. They should have, you are so right. Thanks for reviewing!

Gladdecease: Yeah, big depression. But if any of the titans are to get out of depression, it's most likely Starfire, don't you think? I agree with you on The Prophecy, very cool… and I really don't mind the Rob/Rae friendship, I would rather it be Beastboy, but I guess Robin makes the most sense. Your Starfire season is very well thought out, but I think it should be about her and RedX or RedX should be involved somehow. I hope they do that! You're sad about Sandra leaving? Yeah, I am too a little. The way she left, very emotional and dramatic, because that's what my story is practically made up of: Emotion, drama, and someone's always crying. My friend thinks I'm doing the same thing over and over each chapter, do you think so? Ahh, well, I guess nothings perfect! Thanks for the review!

PaintingYourEmotions: Sorry, I'm such a hypocrite, I hate cliffies too. Anyways, a fellow Rob/Star lover? That's great! I love your penname too, very creative. Thanks for reading my story!

SecretNight: Starfire didn't do suicide! …yet… Well, I really don't know. It's a possibility! Glad you like my story!

Orlifan4561: I know, I did a really evil cliffy, sorry. Nice penname, but I'm not really that big of an Orlando fan. My friend is though… and is grinding her teeth currently, RUN WHILE YOU CAN! Lol, thanks for the review!

cRiTic123: Sorry for the cliffy! Wow… you really like the CAPS lock, don't you? Lol, it makes it seem as though you're screaming at me. But don't change it! I think it's funny! Glad you reviewed!

Molly: YES! RedX/Starfire! That she totally be based on her season, and don't tell me you wouldn't watch it. You so would! Although they'd probably end the season in a rob/star, and then we would have to throw heavy items at the TV. Lol, thank you for that! (review)

Rae: Yeah, she really is, isn't she? I'm glad you like it, thanks for answering my poll!

avovisto: I feel so special! You're reading just mine? Or others also? Anyways, it doesn't matter, thank you!

LitoKyomi: My story? Captivating? …Really? Thank you! I know, evil cliffy, sorry. I do those a lot… But thanks for your review! YOU HAVE HOMEWORK? NOW? –Sends candy- Poor you, here's candy to help you get through the pain! Thanks for reading my story! Hope you liked this chapter!

Illegally Blond: You love my stories? YAY! I have a fan! –Is glomped by cat and falls off desk- Ow… damn Steve… anyways! Did you read the other chapters? Ahh, well, doesn't really matter, but I'm glad you like my story, nonetheless! –Sends gummy bears-

OMG… I have another page of reviews? A A A A A R R R R R G G G G G G G G G! SO MUCH TYPING… YET I'M SO OVERJOYED!

xotaybabyox: I updated again! Yay! I so glad you like my story! Thank you so much for your review, and I agree: During Stranded, when Robin was holding her when Starfire fell, I jumped out of my seat and shrieked. …Then I snarled, because of my split personality, Rae/Rob side… but all the same, I loved it!

lil-c-girl2218: I did it for the piece of paper! Thank you for the motivation! Lol.

Sassy-actress: You really want me to commit suicide, don't you? –Looks scared- Lol, jk. I made you cry? OH! SORRY! –Feels sad- I didn't mean to! Sorry! –Sends candy- Please don't cry!

PurpleFlyingMonkey: I don't mind if they steal my ketchup, go ahead… BUT WHAT IF ONE OF THEM TRIES TO TAKE MY MUSTARD? N O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O OO ! Lol, thank you! You act like BB? FUN! I love Beastboy, he made me laugh so much during Stranded, and I hope you get to see it soon!

Dramaelfie: Thank you! Hope you liked this chapter and I love BB/Rae too!

StarfireLover: I know, I'm sorry about the cliffy! Glad you reviewed! Hope you like this chapter!

GiRl Of DaRkNeSs: YOU DIDN'T SEE THE PROPHECY? Oh, that really sucks! Same with Stranded! Hope you see them soon! Rob/Star get back together? …um… possibility, but I don't know if I'll do it or not. I UPDATED!

PhoenixOnFire: I highly doubt this is the best story you have ever read, and if so, may I point you in the direction of a story called The White Rose? Such a better story than mine! I'm serious, it's awesome! Also How Can I Trust You by D-I-WaRrIa, and also her other story How Can I Trust You? Favorite stories! OH! And, sorry about the cliffy!

D-I-WaRrIa: Someone's trying to steal your story? BASTARD! Ugh, that's so annoying. Did you yell at them? That would be a really interesting Starfire season! I know, RedX/Star is my favorite pairing too, right next to Raven/Beastboy. Rob/Starfire is OK, but Robin is such a loser most of the time. Aw, you have a story dedicated to me? –Big, teary smile- That's so cool! And nice! Thank you! I never knew you lived in England, oh! Then do you have the super fun accent? I love English accents, they're so fun. I'm just a regular yank, no accent and whatnot, stuck in this miserable heat wave. Wish I had air conditioning… Thanks for your review!

Soycaliente: I'm sorry, but Starfire MIGHT die! OR NOT! I can't promise you anything though! Don't hate me if I do! Thanks for reviewing!

Dragonlover131313: Yeah, I know, Sandra and Robin are being such total asses. But I'm happy you read my story! Thanks for your reviews!

MoonBeam: Really? This is your favorite? …I don't believe you, and if it's true, may I recommend one of my favorite stories? Baby Can I Hold You Tonight by D-I-WaRrIa, also How Can I Trust You, written by her as well. Also, The White Rose, such an amazing story! Anyways, thanks for reviewing! Please don't cry!

Staremerald: Thank you!

BlazeFire: OOC characters? Yeah, I agree. Sandra and Starfire cat fight would have been very nice… especially to Robin, but I do not like Robin in this story, as no cat fights for him to watch! I had a cat fight in one of the beginning chapters, didn't I? With Terra and Raven too? Yeah! I did! Ahh, well, no such thing as too many cat fights. Sorry to disappoint you! I MADE YOU CRY? I am so sorry! –Sends candy- I cannot believe I made you cry! –Feels awful- I'm real sorry. Oh, Starfire dying… um, I can't promise anything, but don't worry too much about it! I doubt I'm the best author ever, but thank you. I know some other really great authors, who I think are much better than me! Have you ever read the following stories? How Can I Trust You? (D-I-WaRrIa), The White Rose (Jessemudflap), and Baby Can I Hold You Tonight? (D-I-WaRrIa) Thanks for reading and reviewing! Hope you read those other stories, they are SO GOOD!


Y Y Y Y Y Y Y E E E E E E E E E E E S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S ! DONE! Sorry, I love you guys SO MUCH but it took a long time to type. My computer kept getting these damn random pop-ups, and got frozen twice.

I love you all so much, you know that? I think I've said that every chapter!
