WAYNE MANOR
GOTHAM CITY
1 DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING
Raven was walking down the corridor of the huge mansion which held such pleasant memories when she heard some quiet sobs from Nagi's room. She went to the door and silently knocked. "Who is it?" Nagi called back in a weak, down voice.
"May I come in?" Raven asked her friend with concern.
"Sure, you can come in," Nagi said.
Raven entered the room to see her friend staring out the huge window at the large open field below her. The room was very large, with a king size bed and by the huge window were two old, leather chairs. Nagi was sitting in one of them, Raven pulled up the other chair and sat right next to her friend, "Want to tell me what's wrong?" Raven asked cautiously.
"How was your dinner with Beast Boy?" Nagi asked, not answering Raven's question.
"It was good, he was also very close to changing my mind, but he didn't," Raven told her friend, more like confessed to her friend, Raven also knew that Nagi knew about Beast Boy's plan.
Nagi's face dropped when she heard her say those words, "You are breaking his heart!" she accused
"Nagi, I don't know how I am breaking his heart?" Raven said taken back by Nagi's outburst.
"Do you have any idea how much he loves you!" Nagi continued screaming at Raven.
"Calm down Nagi, why are you getting so upset with me?" Raven asked, still feeling stunned by how Nagi was screaming at her.
"Do you know what we talked about for the past six days?" Nagi asked.
Rave was a little curious, she didn't know what they had done at lunch, she assumed they just sat there, "No, I don't, why don't you tell me."
"All he talked about was how much he loved you, he told me stories, he told me all about you, he was so poetic, and so romantic, how could you deny him?" Nagi said, "Why doesn't she realize what she has," "You should be thankful, I only wish I had a man like him," she said quietly.
"Nagi, I already have a love, Robin, he loves me just like Beast Boy, in some cases even more," Raven told her.
"Raven, then what will happen to him, what will happen to him if he can't get you, it's all he thinks about, it's all he wishes, he would give up everything for you, how can you deny it?" Nagi asked with a lot of emotions as tears came to her eyes.
Raven also got tears when she heard Nagi explain Beast Boy's feelings to her, "He loves me so much, am I making the right decision? No, Robin is my love, Beast Boy has his love, his future in front of me." "Nagi, I know love has been hard on you, I know you have given up on love, but now I see you have found your love, go get Beast Boy, he is your love," Raven told her friend.
"No, no, it's not true, he is made for you," Nagi said, caught off guard by Raven, "Damn her, she is right, I do love him."
"How can you say that? How can you lie to me so bluntly?" Raven said as the tears began streaming down her cheeks.
"Raven, stop lying to me, we are lying to each other, we both love him, but the fact is he loves you," Nagi told her.
"How can you say he only loves me?" Raven ask.
"If you look at him, he looks at me, he has me thinking about him constantly, but he doesn't know how I feel," Nagi said quietly as she exited the room, Raven just sat quietly looking out the window, contemplating her life up til that moment.

GOTHAM HOTEL
7th LUNCH
1 DAY BEFORE WEDDING
"I heard about the dinner," Nagi said quietly to Beast Boy who sat opposite to her lost in thought.
"Yeah, but it was still a success," Beast Boy told her.
"How?" Nagi asked.
"I got her to see she still loves me, the way I look at it, marriage is just an obstacle that can be overcome only if I keep up what I am doing," Beast Boy told her.
"So, you are thinking this is a war? You lost a battle but you haven't lost a war, you aren't going to retreat now?" Nagi asked, she was a little surprised at how Beast Boy viewed this whole issue.
"Yes, I am not going to retreat, I am going to keep up my attack, push Robin back and capture her heart," Beast Boy declared.
Nagi turned away to hide the look of sadness in her eyes, "He doesn't see my love for him, he wants her, and deep down she wants him too, what shall I do?" she told herself.
Beast Boy looked at her uncomfortably, "Did I upset her? What did I do wrong?" The rest of the lunch went by in silence.
WAYNE MANOR
GOTHAM CITY
1 DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING
"Beast Boy!" Robin called to his best man; Robin was very suspicious of Beast Boy after learning of his love to his fiancé.
"Yeah?" Beast Boy called back from the library, he was playing a game of cards with Cyborg and Speedy.
"The bride wishes to have a brief word with you," Robin told him.
"Doesn't that go against the damn tradition?" Beast Boy called back as he walked to the door.
"This is a special case," Robin said as he lead Beast Boy upstairs for the first time, he lead BB to Raven's room, told Beast Boy to go inside and left. "Must really trust her to leave her alone with me knowing perfectly well I still have feelings for her," Beast Boy thought with some admiration towards Robin.
Beast Boy entered the door to see Raven standing by the window looking out in the dark night. She turned and faced Beast Boy, her face was stern, cold, uninviting, she had grim determination in her eyes.
"Beast Boy, stop obsessing over me, I don't love you, I will never love you, so don't try to do anything else," Raven told Beast Boy right when he looked into her eyes.
"Raven, you know, that I know, that you are lying, you still have feelings for me, don't deny it," Beast Boy responded.
"Yes, I have feelings for you, but not as deep as I do with Robin, why can't you go on without me? You have everything in life ready for you, you have money, and education, friends, a house, and a girl who will do anything for you," Raven told Beast Boy.
"Nagi?" Beast Boy said quietly as it began to make sense to him, "Always listening to me, supporting me, makes sense," he thought.
"Yes, she loves you more than anything else in the world, she would do anything to hold you in her arms, I mean she will do anything," Raven repeated.
"But that doesn't matter, I love you, I love only you, I would give up everything that I have just to be with you!" Beast Boy said with much passion.
"I can never be yours, I don't love you, and I never will, now leave my room," Raven said coldly.
Beast Boy, held the tears inside as he rushed out the door, he ran down the stairs ignoring anyone in his way, rushed to his room and shut the door. Then he clutched his heart. "Its being destroyed, she is doing it again, she is breaking me down, I promised Cy I wouldn't do anything like I did last time, I wont lose it, I will keep it up, she didn't really mean it, she couldn't have meant it, I saw her eyes, I saw the sadness and love, I saw it myself! Who will put me back together?" Beast Boy asked himself as he laid there in shock.
Upstairs, Raven collapsed to a leather chair and began sobbing herself, "It was for the best, it can't work out between the two of us, I had to do this. I had to do it again," she told herself.
So, this is getting really intense and down to the wire, which way shall I go?
The biggest chapter, longest chapter, the most important chapter in this story is coming up next so please, please, please,
PLEASE KEEP ON REVIEWING!
(Terrible news, I wont be able to update until next week because I will be going out of town, hopefully I can get the next chapter up before I leave on Saturday, reviews could help motivate me (hint, hint)

darkravenfire- thank you for the compliment and support, I really liked your review and hope you continue to review, I will update as soon as I can next week so keep checking up on THEJAYMAN or put this story on a story alert list to tell you the update.
ttinuhpfanforever- yeah, I didnt want to put some big speech or anything like that, Robin's character was very straightforward in the flashbacks so he would continue when he proposed, thanks for the review and hope you continue.
Rose- funny review, hope you continue, I actually laughed a little
Greenmartian777-Thank you for those kind words and compliments, really made my day. Thank you again and hope you continue to review. It also made me feel good that I managed to at least sway a big Rae/BB fan with these flashback chapters, thanks again!
XPhoenixX- Well I have to say your review was one of the most well written, well thought out, and most informative review I have read in a while. I would suggest people reading this story to read your review, I really loved it and enjoyed it. Please continue to review and I like how you saw the difference between this story and the series. The FOR series is a lot more darker and tragic that this story, and I just thought to make a story like this because it just hit my mind. Thank you again for such a wonderful review!
BBRaelover4eva- Don't worry, I promise to keep writing and I will assume you keep reviewing, thanks for the wonderful, support and reviews, please continue
StickLad- Thank you for the reviews and support and kind words and all that good stuff, I actually look forward to your reviews and hope you continue to do so, thanks again.
lovex3spell-thanks for taking the time to review my story and I as I say to everyone, hope you continue to review. Glad you think the flashbacks helped but, you wont find out what happens at the wedding until next week sadly, I feel bad, I tried my best to get it ready by the time I go but I just missed it, please stick around and wait for the next update
Savi- I am glad you wrote that observation, now the way I see it is that Raven didn't dump Beast Boy only because of her mother's disaproval, but that played a factor, however, Beast Boy, believes that was the reason, maybe because he is love struck. To be honest I havent figured out exactly how influential Raven's mother will be, but that will be resolved in upcoming chapters. Please keep on reviewing, I enjoy your reviews a lot
AnimationWickedRaven- Yeah, a lot of flashbacks but that was the last one, no more flashbacks, its time to get to the wedding. Love getting reviews from you and hope you continue and hope you can wait till next week
Angst equinox- Don't worry, next chapter will be a little more shocking and dirty, I know you like that stuff, so the "lovey dovey stuff" will be ending, as I know you have been waiting patiently for so long. Please just hang in there for one week and I will hopefully post something that will get your attention, thanks for the reviews and support, dont worry, I wont buckle under the pressure, this story will go my way. Thanks again and hope you continue to review!
BB&RAEROX- Those chants sound like some protest or demand, really good, hope to get more from you, keep on reviewing
BlackGothFaerie- thank you for the wonderful review, and thank you for the compliment, I like how I am changing the minds of a few BBxRae fans out there. To answer your question, I don't have a preference, if you notice in my Fall of Robin seires I have BBxRae in that one and RobxStar, so I change it up a little, I don't prefer anyone couple. Thank you again and hope you continue to review!
EVERYBODY WHO HAS REVIEWED PREVIOUS CHAPTERS THANK YOU AND CONTINUE TO REVIEW
I am so SORRY that you guys will have to wait an entire week before I update next, I am sorry but I can only hope you will stay with me until then. While your waiting you can check my Fall of Robin series and see how I my characters change with different events and age and environment.
