Chapter 6

As I sat up on my bed, stretching slightly, I thought about my dream. It wasn't weird, it just wasn't the way I'd act under pressure. I looked outside. The moon was out, but clouds were over it slightly. It was kewl. I changed into a black tank-top, and a pair of baggy pants I got at Hot Topic. I decided to go up to the roof and meditate. I teleported to the roof, with my guitar and music. I sat on the roof for a while. I listened to the sounds around me. I hadn't done that in a long time. I looked my watch. It was already 10:00. 'Did he forget?' I asked myself. As I got lost in my thoughts, It began to down pour. I gathered my things and teleported to the basement.

When I got there, I saw Beast Boy sitting in a chair. "Where have you been?" we said at the same time. He spoke first, "Didn't you watch the news? 95 of heavy rain around 10:00? I've been waiting here." I scowled at him, really pissed by now. I was drenched. "Your telling my the one time in your entire life you watch the news, I don't! Well, that's just great!" I set my stuff down to dry, and walked away from him. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Beast Boy..."

I was so wet, he couldn't see the tear stream down my face. I felt his hand on my shoulder. "Its ok, Raven." I began to shiver. I felt him drape his jacket over my shoulders. "Here. You look cold. Have my jacket." He smiled and blushed a deep crimson, as did I (Now good "Awwww!" lol) I walked up to my papers and fanned them out. The ink was smudged and they were impossible to read. "Damn it! Just great!" I paced around, wondering what to do. I couldn't go on Cyborgs computer now. He was probably recharging by now. I sat on the floor, and leaned against a wall. I let out a short sigh. I closed my eyes, and relaxed.

I could hear him sit next to me. I opened one eye and looked at him. "Now what do we do? My papers a destroyed, and I already know everything you do." He leaned his head against the wall, "I don't know. We could talk." "About what? We have nothing in common." That was a lie, and I knew it. The thing we shared was a passion for one another, but I stayed quiet.

After a few minutes, he stood up. "I have an idea." "If it has anything to do with gerbils, hamsters, sharks, air planes, or mimes, no." "No. I have a GOOD idea." He took my hand, pulled me up off the floor, and put a blind fold on me. "What's the big idea?" "Just trust me, ok?" I sighed, but went along with it. "Fine." He led me outside. I could smell the 'after a rain shower' smell. After a minute or two, I felt him grab my hand again. He put my hand on his shoulder. "Hold on tight." I could fell him morph into a hawk. I held on as I felt us lift off the ground.

We flew for a few minutes. I was a little scared, but it was sort of fun. I could feel us land. He morph back to human form, and took off the blindfold. We were standing outside a small place with a neon sign that said, 'The Unseen'. I had never heard of it before, but I didn't really care. I saw my guitar strapped to his back. "Why did you bring my guitar?" He didn't answer me. He walked up to the door and opened it, "Come on!" I followed him. He had my guitar, I had no choice.

I looked around inside, and realized, 'I know this place,' I thought, 'but from where. I've never been here before.' In the far corner, I saw a sign that read, 'TALENT NIGHT. AGES 15 TO 17.' I looked at Beast Boy, and he nodded. He signed me up! "You didn't!" "I did." I reached my hands out and almost griped his neck, but I held myself back. I growled under my breath. "I can't so this. I'm leaving." I began to walk away, and he grabbed my wrist, pulling me back, "Oh no you don't!"

I began to feel nervous. "Beast Boy, I can't do this. I really can't." "Yes, you can. You have a great talent. And you have more courage than anyone I know. I know you can do this." I pulled him into a tight hug, "Thank you, Beast Boy." I pulled back and friendly hit him in the shoulder, "But I'm still going to kill you for signing me up!" "I know." He looked at the clock, "Your up next." I panicked. "Oh my god! What am I going to play? Where's my guitar? Is my hair staticy-" He put his finger on my lips and chuckled lightly, "Your going to be fine. Just go with the flow. Relax, and remember to breath."

I took a deep breath. I thought 'What am I going to play? The only thing I know is Mirror, and I still need the sheet music for it.' I stood next to the stage, with my guitar, waiting for the person before me to get done(I know I didn't word that right, but give me a break. I'm sick.). I looked out at the audience, and then I knew. This was the same place I saw in my dream! I guess it wasn't just a dream. It was a vision. Then it hit me, 'If that dream was a vision, was the other one?' I didn't let it bother me. I remembered the tune I heard in my dream, and played it softly, so I would know it when I went on stage. But what about the words?

I heard my name called. 'I guess I'm up,' I thought. I went up on stage, and sat on the little stool thing on the stage. I couldn't see much. There was a blinding light on the stage. I didn't say anything. I just pulled out my guitar, and sang what came to mind. (I think the song is called "Rain". It's from the movie "Pixel Perfect"(which I don't own either)Its a nice ballad. AKA a slow song.)

I don't understand
This should be so easy
To just reach my hand
And know the world is free
But nothing's, as it seems
I can tell you freely
Touching's not the only way to feel

When the rain falls
It's like heaven's crying
When the name's all
The difference that there is
Cause tears are
The same when they are trying to grow something good
Out of all the pain
There's no difference between the teardrops and the rain.

I said thank you, and left the stage. Just like in my vision, I was talking to someone, and I couldn't heard, nor see them, but now, I knew it was Beast Boy. We ended up walking outside, so we could hear each other. I leaned agents a wall, and he showed off, as usual. "Beast Boy, that was so fun, and yet," I got an evil grin on my face, "YOUR DEAD!" I pounced on him. I pinned him to the ground, and he tried to get out of the pin, and he did. He ended up rolling over on top of me, and pinning my to the ground. I just sat there and laughed. He laughed too.

He finally let me out of the pin, and helped me up. "I haven't had this much fun in who knows how long," I said, still laughing a bit. "Yea, me neither." Just then, some dude, tripping all over himself, walked up next to me. I could smell the alcohol on him breath. "Hey you," he said in a slurred manner, "Your like, really hot, man. Why you hangin' out with this little dude, when you can be with me?." I plugged my nose, "Its called a breath mint. Heard of it?" "Ooh, a funny girl, huh? I like girls with a since of humor." He got really close to my face, "What you say, pretty lady? Want to come with me? It'll be fun." "No way. I'd rather have my leg bitten off by a dog, and you know, a tic-tac wouldn't hurt either."

He grabbed my arm and squeezed, "Hey! Your hurting me!" "Come on, come with me or I'll make you." Beast Boy walked up behind him, "Let her go." He let me go, and I stepped back. "I see your boyfriend's sticking up for you. What are you going to do little man?" I could see Beast Boy's hand getting tense, and turning into a fist. The guy pushed him, and he fell to the ground, and I guess I finally snapped. I levitated and lifted a large bolder with me. I flew toward the drunk bastard as fast as I could. "Leave him alone!" "Stay out of this, bitch." Right before the bolder hit him, he hit me so hard that I flew back and hit a wall. I hit so hard, that I passed out.

I'm not sure how long I was out, but I woke up back at the tower. I was in my room, and it was 5 in the morning. I sat up quickly, remembering what happened the night before. Just then, I got a sharp pain in my back. It hurt so bad, I started to cry softly. "Lay back down. You need your rest." I looked to my right, to see Beast Boy. His shirt was torn in a couple places and he was bleeding. "What happened to you?" I asked. The pain in my back was growing. "Don't worry about me. Lay back down."

I did as he asked. As I laid back down, my back hurt so bad that I couldn't help but cry. He held my hand to give me comfort. "It's going to be alright, Rae," he said with a smile. "You just need to stay off your feet for a few days." "Since when did you become a doctor? I'm fine." "Really? Then sit up." I just laid there and stared at the ceiling. I looked at the cuts he had. "You really need to take care of those or their going to get infected." I put my hand on one of them, and my hand started to glow.

As I healed his cuts, he just sat there and smiled. The more I healed him, the more of his pain I got. Not just physical pain, but emotional pain. I felt his heartbreak, his pain, his loss. I felt everything he felt. After he was healed, I didn't dare look a him. I didn't want him to know I knew the way he felt. The heartbreak of loosing Terra. The pain of seeing me hurt. The way that everyday he felt like he was a drone of the government waiting for the day he died with a passion. He didn't want to live anymore. He had lost to much, and just wanted to die.

After a few minutes of silence, it was finally broken. "So," He said quietly, "Did you have fun tonight?" he smiled at me as i glared at him. "You know your a dumb ass, right?" I said. "You could have gotten yourself killed. That guy was 3 times your weight, height, and intoxication. He could have kicked your ass so hard that you wouldn't be able to sit for a year." He looked at the floor with a blank look on his face. The last thing he needed was another lecture.

I sighed and grabbed his hand. "Look, I did have a good time. I just don't want you doing something stupid like that again." Then i started to think out loud, "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you-" I realized what I said and blushed a dark crimson. He blushed as well and gave my hand a light squeeze. He smiled at me and said, "You should get some sleep." I nodded and acted like I drifted right off to sleep, but I didn't. I laid there, away for a while. After I laid there a couple of hours, I felt his lips on my cheek and heard him whisper, "Good night my dark beauty. I love you, and I wish I could tell you that." I felt him let go of my hand, and heard my door close behind him as he left. Shortly after that, I feel asleep.
