Chapter 6 – Pressure by Paramore
Dear Titans,
I've done a lot of thinking, more than you know. Something has come up and there is nothing you can do to help me. It's something I have to take care of myself. So I am running away. If I stay, I know I might end up hurting someone and I don't want that to happen. So please for your sake, as well as mine, don't come looking for me. I'm sure that this 'something' won't go away for quite sometime. When this era of 'quite sometime', is over with, I doubt I will return to the Titans. I might be taking this thing too far, but knowing me and my powers, everything could end in chaos. This may not make much sense now. But if and when the time is right, I will gladly explain everything to all of you.
From,
Raven
P.S. Not: In the Back of the Oldest aRticle."What, where did you find this Star?" exclaimed Beast Boy, staring at the note.
"I found it this morning, everyone else has already seen the note." said Starfire, with worried look upon her face.
"What does this P.S. mean? I don't understand why she would do she do something like this? he said, throwing the note into Starfire's hands. He walked into walked into Raven's room, placing the newly bought roses on her bed and began walking toward his own room.
"Our friend, Beast Boy was not very happy with Raven's departing." Starfire said walking back into the kitchen. She looked around the room and only saw Cyborg playing with the Game Station.
"Um...Cyborg, where did Robin go?"
"No idea, probably in his room, He said something about that it made sense and ran off. But you know when Robin figures something out; he won't leave his room until he's positively sure." Cyborg informed her.
"Yes, that is very true. I shall go and try to help Beast Boy out." said Starfire al little disappointed but happy to help her friend.
She walked to Beast Boy's room and before she knocked on the door, she thought of what she could say. Should she talk about Robin because mentioning Raven might make him feel worse than what he's feeling already? But speaking of Robin would make Beast Boy think she's only thinking of herself, she finally knocked on the door.
"Umm… Beast Boy…umm…hello?" said Starfire in a nervous way.
"What do you want Starfire?" he said more rudely than he had expected.
"Umm… I'm sorry! I will leave you along." He opened the door.
"Sorry, Star. I'm just in a bad mood."
"It is alright. Would you like to talk about it?"
"Ehh…I'm not really in the mood to talk about it. Was there something else you wanted to talk about?"
"Actually there was…"
"Which was?"
"Umm… eh… about…"
"Robin?" he finished her sentence.
"Yes…" she said, slightly blushing.
"Well, it's obvious you like him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he liked you back, but you can never be sure."
"But how do I know if he does or does not like me?"
"You can always mention it to him or do the unexpected."
"Huh? The Unexpected?"
"As in make him 'Expect the Unexpected'."
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean."
"Come on, Star! Just kiss him! You know how Robin is, he can be really smart but when it comes to your situation with him, he'll be too stupid and thick-headed to understand." He said with a cute grin on his face.
"But I can't just walk up to him and do that!"
"Yes, you can! I'm not sure if it's something you'd really do, but you still should!"
"How come you've never done that with Raven?" she questioned anxiously.
He blushed. "Well, you know Raven. She's not one you can kiss just like that and live to tell the tale or expected not to be ignored for weeks, maybe even months."
"Very good point. So will you go to look for her?"
"I would but I'm going to give her some time for herself. Then maybe I'll go look for her."
"It seems like you have it all planned out, Beast Boy. Now I will depart and leave you to think."
"Thank you, Starfire. I'm sorry I can't help you all that much." He said.
"Please, an apology is not necessary." She said while walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.
"This place is a mess!" Raven exclaimed as she walked around the house she had once lived in.
"I haven't been here in a while."
:Flashback:
Raven had been walking around Jump City and had saved two cars from crashing, when a boy around her age, with black hair, had asked her if she wanted to join a superhero team with a group of other teens.
"I'm not much of a team person; I can't interact well with people." Raven had finally spoken.
"That may be true but you should give it a try and see how everything works out." He said trying to convince her.
Raven gave it a try and went to the meeting. There were 3 other teenagers beside her and the black haired boy named Robin. One was a pretty girl with red hair and green eyes named Starfire. Another was boy which was half robot named Cyborg. The last boy had green skin and hair named Beast Boy. Raven thought that this superhero team wouldn't work out at all because they were too different. But soon, every meeting they had, seemed to be more fun every time.
They had decided to walk each other home to get to know each other a little more. They departed from Robin's place and passed Cyborg's house first, then Starfire's and only Raven and Beast Boy remained. Raven's house was before Beast Boy's. He dropped her off.
On the morning of the next meeting, there was a knocking on Raven's door.
"Weird to have visitors…" Raven wondered.
She opened the door and saw that it was none other than her fellow, green teammate, Beast Boy.
"Um… hello?" She questioned.
"Hi! Just thought we could go to the meeting together." He said with a grin on his face. Raven knew she couldn't say no so she ended up going to the meeting with Beast Boy, and that day they tested out their strengths and powers. From then on, they decided they should be an official team and they now lived in a T on an island in the middle of the city.
:Flashback End:
"That was when everything was so normal, we thought everything would be alright with all of us, until the last time I came here…
:Another Flashback:
Everything had been her fault.
Terra.
She caused everyone so much pain, even Raven. She was so great, everyone thought. She thought Beast Boy had given her precious secret away and she ran. Raven knew she couldn't be trusted after being away so long. But the more she stayed with the titans, the more they fell for her act of innocence and she betrayed them. She worked for Slade. They all were hurt but the one who was hurt the most was Beast Boy. Raven couldn't help but feel so sorry for him because he had truly liked her a lot, or possibly even have loved her. But before she was turned into a stone by the volcano, it seemed that she had kind of redeemed herself. In the end, Raven felt sorry for her. Beast Boy was feeling really down. Raven knew that he would want to spend sometime alone, and am idea came to her head. He spent his time either his room during the day or in Terra's room after dinner and at night. He was already in Terra's room around 4:00 in the afternoon, which meant he didn't want any dinner.
Raven knocked upon the door and waited for a response.
Silence.
She knocked once again and still no answer.
Raven opened the door and saw Beast Boy lying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. (A/N: I'm sorry if I just caused someone a nosebleed for have picturing this…XD) She walked toward him and laid down next to him, normally she wouldn't go this sort of thing but she had grown quite fond of him.
"So?" she said.
He didn't say anything.
"Look… I know this must be really hard for you and you want to spend time alone."
He finally spoke and said nonchalantly, "Yea…"
She grabbed him arm and pulled him toward the door and said, "Come with me. I'll take you somewhere."
As they walked, Beast Boy said, "This seems familiar. Have I've been here before?"
"Actually, we have a while back." Raven replied.
"Isn't this your old house?" Beast boy questioned. "Doesn't anybody live here by now?"
"This is my old house; no one lives here because I still come here sometimes when I need to be more alone than at the tower."
"So when was the last time you came here?" He asked with a look of interest on his face.
"Around the time Terra came."
"Affirmative." He said, trying to lighten the mood. (A/N: I felt like writing affirmative so bad... XD… Sousuke from FMP... Anyone?)
"Nice try…" she said.
"So, why did you bring me here?" he said, breaking the silence.
"Well, last night I went to buy some groceries for this house."
"What for?"
"So that you could stay here if you wanted, spend the night, have dinner, or what ever else without anyone bothering you."
"Really? Well, thank you."
"How about you stay here tonight?"
"Alright, well I need to get some stuff from the tower, so let's so back together."
They went back to the tower and before Beast Boy left again, he knocked on Raven's door. "Hey Raven, I'm going to go now."
She opened the door and said, "Alright, if the titans ask, I'll cover for you, you should tell me every time you are going to be there so I have time to think of a good excuse for you."
"That sounds good. Bye!"
:Another Flashback End:
Raven hadn't even noticed but thinking of some memories had cleaned up the house a little bit.
She never expected that after all the Terra incident, that the next time she has visited her old house, she would have fallen so badly for Beast Boy.
She sat down to think of what she could do in her spare time. She looked around and saw a phonebook and she opened to a random letter, which happened to be G. She came upon Garfield High School. (A/N: wow… I'm so creative. Erika will think I'm so corny for not thinking of a better school name. But the rest of you will think of this as a pun but it's not supposed to be. Garfield My HS name and/or Beast Boy's real name.)
Raven thought, "Hmm… a high school, I doubt they would look for me there and I'll find a part-time job after school. " I'll call the school tomorrow and say my parents speak an unearthly language and I'm 16, so I'll most likely be a junior in High School. I'll have to call tomorrow and it's December so I haven't missed too much school work. "
It was 6 o'clock and dinner was fast approaching and Raven was watching TV when she heard a knocking on the door. Who could it be?
Hey! Seems I'm getting better at cliffys… this is fun! Omg.. My last chapter was horrible… I apologize... it was 2 pages long in word… and this one is 7! I'm soo happy! I'm in such a writing fanfiction mood! Yay! I'll update sooner now… except like in June and July…I won't be able to updated.
