Ch.21: The End Pt. 2
Dear Diary,
It's me Garfield, I know I haven't used this old thing in a long time but I felt I needed to start again. It's been 3 weeks sense the battle in the factory and all seems to be folding into itself again. The followers of Slade were put into a juvenile hall and ordered to take physical mental therapy. Sadly, Terra died before anyone could save her. All they could do was wait until the cement dried and she became a human statue. Sad that she loved Slade so much and he didn't love her back. It's kind of sad. But all is not so dark, Raven and I are still madly in love and yes the school PTA ordered the principle to close down that janitor's closet to the hidden temple and make all 5 of us our own headquarters. Yes we were appointed as the new school police, we have Bumble Bee, Aqua lad, some kid named Speedy, and two exchange students Mas y Menos working for us. They are our little guards of the east wing of the school. We even call ourselves the Teen Titans now and they are our Titans East. We are holding tryouts for a Titans south and north while we keep the west but we don't see enough coming.
Victor was upgraded to defensive linebacker on our school football team, Richard is the team captain of our Basketball team, Kori is our Cheer leading captain, and me and Raven, well you can say were the Drama leaders and also we are starting a class of poetry just for Raven and whom ever else likes to write and read. We all are having a great time now that Slade and his goons are gone and for once Jump High is at piece.
Garfield, Mark Logan.

Diary,
I have some bad/good news; the bad news is Slade committed suicide 3 days before his sentence began. They said he had escaped and ran into the school. He went into his old hideout and hung himself by one of the support rafters. They said he had written a note in his own blood on the wall. They gave me a copy of it.
I will not let those who have betrayed me get the better of me
Before they can take my life, I take it for them
This is not suicide, this is destiny
I will return, with more power, and more determination than before
You have not seen the last of Slade Wilson Jr.
Jump High will fall to my fist and I will make sure of it
Next year I will return on the date of my failure and finish what I have started
May the gods have mercy on your souls because I will not
I leave you my truth in blood…
He's really a dramatic jackass if you ask me. Well that's the bad news here's some good, the city has awarded all of the Teen Titans awards for heroic efforts in protecting the city from Slade. And the school has done something more heartwarming. They tore down our building and built us a new one. It's in the shape of a T and as tall as 2 mansions. I don't know how or why but I think it means they want us to stay and protect them.
Garfield, Mark Logan
I put my diary in the bookshelf of my room and look to my side. Raven was asleep in the spare bed Jason had built for her. She's so cute when she's asleep. It was only noon but she told me she hadn't slept all night so I let it be. I could here Victor's snoring from down the hall and shook my head.
I kissed her softly on the cheek and felt it grow hot and red. I smiled and walked out of the room and grabbed three roses sitting in a vase in the main room. I rode my skateboard over to the cemetery. I kneeled down onto the graves of Caitlyn and Chandra and placed a rose on each grave. Then I walked over to an oak tree were a statue of a young girl arms extended and face empty with all emotions. The grave mark was small but it was clearly visible for at least 2 acres.
Terra Markov 1989- 2006
Died of a broken heart
To young to be lost in love
I placed the final rose on the stone and shook my head.
"What did you see in him to die for? Was he that good to you? I will never know." I whispered to myself.
"Something's are better not known." said a cheerful voice behind me.
I turned to see Raven holding my hand with a smile. She came next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder.
"You know I love you Raven."
"I love you to Garfield, always and forever."
With those words I placed my lips against hers and finally I figured out the meaning of life, to love and be loved.
-----------------------------------------
It's hard not to lose yourself in love, because you're always lost and love is the only thing that can find you. The words of myself
