chapter two
Later that day, back at the tower, I was sitting in my room meditating, when I heard a knock on my door. It never fails. The always bother me when I'm meditating. I figured it was Starfire wanting to do my hair again. Note: never let Star do my hair agian. But to my surprise, it was Robin. "Hey," I said, "Whats going on?" "Its Beast Boy. He isn't home, and he isn't answering his comuntcator. I'm worried about him. Me, Cyborg, and Starfire are going to search town. You think you could stay here and call us if he gets here?" Inside, I knew something was wrong, but I didn't show it. "Sure, I can do that."
After Robin and the others took off, I went down to Beast Boy's room to see if I could find a clue to why he was missing. As I walked in, I was disgusted by the site of the mounds of dirty cloths. I looked in the draws of his desk, and in the top draw, I found a black velvet box. I know I shouldn't have, but I opened it. Inside I found a bracelet, with a charm on it. The charm was the letter "R". Underneath it, I found a note. It read, "Dear Raven, Happy valentines day! I've wanted to tell you something, but haven't worked up the courage to. So, I'm just gonna come out and say it." By this point in the note, it looked like his hand was shaking as he wrote it. "I like you. I've liked you since the day I met you. Every time I see you, my muscles tense, I start to sweat, and I can't breath. I didn't show it, from the fear of rejection. I hope you feel the same about me. If you don't, then I'll leave you alone. So, I give you this bracelet to show my affection for you. Love always, Beast Boy." I couldn't believe what I was reading. Beast Boy really felt that way about me? Then I thought, 'You need to tell him. He deserves to know.'
As I put back the note, closed the box, put it back, and shut the draw, I heard the door open downstairs. Maybe it was Beast Boy? I rushed down stairs to see it was the other 3. "Did you find him?" Robin let out a large sigh, "No, but we found this." he held out beast boys communicator. It was covered in ash. I knew where he went. "Where did you find it?" "About a half mile outside the city, near an old amusement park." I was positive I knew. Beast Boy told me what happened with him and terra after she was turned to stone. He didn't tell the others. "I'm going to search the city. You guys stay here and call me if he shows up."
I teleported out as fast as I could. I knew where he went. I went to the old amusement park they found the communicator. I looked around. It hadn't been touched in years. I walked around, looking for the hall of mirrors. I found it. As I walked in, I could here a small whimper. As I followed the whimper, it grew louder. Finally, I could see Beast Boy. He was sitting in the middle of the floor, surrounded by broken mirrors. His knees were up to his chest, his arms resting on top of them, with his head buried into his arms. "Beast Boy," I said in a soft yet powerful voice. He looked at me as tears streamed from his eyes.
I walked up to him, kneeled down next to him, and put my hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. He looked at the ground in front of him. "It's not fair," he said at a whisper. "Why must the ones I love leave me? Why does everything have to go wrong at the best points in life?" He looked at me, and threw his arms around me. A mirror cracked. For some reason, I wrapped my arms around him, and started to rub his back. "It's going to be ok," I whispered into his ear. "Everything's going to be just fine." At that moment I knew, He needed to know. He needed to know that I burned for him with the hot intensity of one thousand suns. That I couldn't bear to see him hurt. That I couldn't live without him, and that I loved him. But I couldn't tell him. Something inside me was telling me that if I did, something wrong would happen, and that he would be hurt. So, I didn't, I acted like nothing was going on between us, and it was just a friendly hug. And with that final though. I whispered in his ear, "Let's go home."
