Hey everyone, Niol here! Sorry I didn't upload this story for a long time, I was kinda...busy, let's just say. For instance, today, I'm sick, so I'm using my time to type this for you hungry Middle School Luv readers of mine. OK, enough of my babbling, on with the story!

The next day, Terra decided to stay home. Litte did she know that BB had decided the same thing. When the boys came over to escort the girls to school, she couldn't help but to notice that the usual head of bushy green hair wasn't there. She burried her face into her knees which she held tightly in her arms. Raven placed a hand on her shoulder softly. "Terra, don't cry. It'll turn out ok, you'll see..." Starfire came over and hugged the blonde. "Yes, what friend Raven says is true. Everything will work out. You will see." Terra nodded and smiled at the kindness her friends were showing towards her. "We'll miss the guitarest and the keyboardest at school, but that doesn't really matter-all that matters is you get some rest and think things over. BB's not going to school; you can visit him when you want." Starfire's reassuring voice was the only thing that kept Terra from bursting at BB's name. Raven patted the girl's shoulder, and then they were gone. Terra listened as the girls and boys walked along, chatting nervously.
Terra sighed, burrying her head into her knees. She began to think. Why had she snapped at BB? Why had she sneered at him? Why hadn't she tried to explain more? Was this whole thing her fault? Terra's red, swollen eyes wandered to the phone. Just one phone call, and BB and her could get together again...
BB, meanwhile, was on his bed, face down, still in his PJ's. The first thing he thought of was his little fight with Terra. BB groaned and burried his head deeper into his pillows, trying to literally squeeze the horroble memories guiltily. The boys had obviously gone to get the girls. BB sat up, knowing he was alone. He allowed the tears to run freely and silently down his cheeks, a sob bursting through once in a while. His normally bright-green eyes, focused and cheerful, were now dull, dim and dazed, almost grey. He thought of the day before, waves of guilt washing through him. Why hadn't he allowed Terra to explain? Why had he shoved her? Could he have been more gentle with the kiss? Was Terra telling the truth? Had he forced her to think about breaking up with him and calling him her "ex-boyfriend"?
Was all of this his fault?
No, He thought, angry and stubborn. She chose to hug Garth in front of me-it's HER fault. Still, the rare common sense in him told him he was wrong. If he could be a little less over-reactive, Terra would still hae the nerve to even hear his name. BB burried his head into his knees. The floodgates in him burst open, and his tears-and sobs- burst out of him freely. He didn't try to stop himself. Why bother? What would be the difference?
Suddenly, the phone rang.
BB stopped instantly. Was it Terra? was she calling to fix everything? Did she want to be together with him again, even after what he had done and said? Fearfully, BB reached for the phone. He brought it to his ear.
"H-hello?"
"Hello, this is verizon. We are calling to inform you that-"
BB hung up, all hope left in him torn out of him and stomped on by regret. That wasn't Terra, just some womancalling him to annoy him with a verizon commercial. BB allowed the sobs to come back. No tears-just sobs.
Was there ever such thing as hope?
Maybe, maybe not, but as of right now, hope was nothing but a mere idea of the past to BB.
Meanwhile, with the others, everything was ok, but awkward. Finally, the person to break the silence was the ever-optimistic Starfire. "Friends, this is ridiculous. We have no talked to each other this whole day and we did not do anything! We must find a way to bring friend Terra and friend BB back together." Raven nodded, relieved that she wasn't the one to begin this conversation. "Star's right. This IS ridiculous. There has to be a way to bring Terra and BB together. I mean, Terra practically said nothing this morning!" Robin nodded. "Still, I think this whole thing was Terra's fault. If she hadn't hugged Garth, we wouldn't be in this." "ExCUSE me?" Star interjected. "Friend Terra was only showing she cared for Garth! I say that BB was too over-reactive! He made the whole problem more complicated than it has to be!" Star, Robin and Cy broke into a heated argument. Raven's eyebrow twitched. Then, her eye began to quiver. Closing her eyes, she inhaled."STOP!" Everyone stopped and looked at Raven. Ignoring the looks of her friends, Raven continued. "Don't you bird-brains know that arguing will only split us up? If we are going to HELP our friends, I suggest we stop arguing and START PLANNING." The others nodded numbly. Raven sighed, sensing she had just scared her friends. Even though she was kinda dark and snappy at times, she was careful not to let anyone but Robin see that side of her. This was why her friends looked at her numbly, their faces blank, and even scared, if you were talking about Cy. Starfire, however, agreed. "Friend Raven is correct. If we are to get mad at eachother for no reason, our whole group will bebroken apart." Robin and Cy nodded, Cy still shook by Raven's sudden change of attitude. Raven sighed, closed her eyes and opened them. This may be harder than I thought, she thought.
