Chapter 10

Broken Robin

I didn't see Dick until the next night. Butterflies were in my stomach, god after what happened with Dinah and Helena I really didn't want to see him but he came up to me.

"Robin we need to talk..."

Oh boy, he knows... I'm sorry Dick I'm so so sorry. I tried to stop them honest. Deep inside I was nervous wreck. On the outside calm, cool Robin. Yeah, the 'bat training' makes us all that way.

"What's up?"

Sounded casual enough.

"About the kiss…?"

"Yeah"

My heartbeat grew louder; I thought it was going to come out of my chest. Why?

"You do realize we can't have a relationship at least not a romantic one."

Just like that my heart sank. I felt like it was going break into a million pieces.

"Dick if it's because of what happened with Helena and Dinah I'm sorry. I...I told them not to. Please believe me."

Nightwing lifted an eyebrow as he looked at me.

"I don't know what happened with Helena and Dinah and maybe I need to have a talk with them about it. But that has nothing to do with this. We simply can't be a couple Tim."

My lips were shaking hell my whole body was shaking. I tried to stop the tears from coming down my eyes but I couldn't. They wouldn't stop.

"Why Dick?"

"It wouldn't work out"

"But…but…I love you"

"Well, I don't love you."

Those words…those cold words. At hearing them I could feel my heartbreak. I couldn't even stand anymore. I just couldn't.

"Fine Dick...fine... I just want you to be happy."

"I want the same for you Tim. But we can't be a couple."

I was still on my knees I slowly nodded. Nightwing then went off, on his nightly patrol no doubt. God, I hope no one was watching. I don't want anyone to see me like this. I really was a wreck, having a complete breakdown. Being raped by two women, and then later on having the person I love tell me that he didn't love me. Too much... it was just too much. I mean I'm only human. I feel dirty like I wish I could just burn off my skin. I feel like a toy that you buy some kid and they only use it once and then throw it the trash. I'm worthless. I'm pathetic. I don't feel like being Robin. At least not right now. So instead I go home and take a shower a boiling hot one, the water burns but it feels good. Pain right now feels good. Dick where ever you are right now I hope you're happy because I feel like I'm dying inside.
