Chapter 15 So close and Yet So Far

The titans were headed for the pizza parlor, when Robin said, "You know what, I think I'll just stay here."

"Why?" said Cuborg.

"I don't know. I just don't really feel like going out. Plus, I'm not really hungry."

"Whatever man." said BB.

"You sure you wanna stay?" said a concerned Cyborg.

"Yeah. Besides, it gives me some time to think."

"Alright." said a not so convinced Cyborg. "We'll be back soon."

"Have fun."

"I doubt it." said Raven in her monotone.

BB, Cyborg, Raven got inside the T-car and drove off. Once they were gone, Robin went to his room to think.

take it back, take it all back now
the things I gave, like the taste of my kiss on your lips
I miss that now
I can't try any harder than I do
all the reasons I gave, excuses I made for you
I'm broken in two
all the things left undiscovered
leave me empty and left to wonder
i need you


Meanwhile

Stafire flew as fast as she could back to the tower. She slowly decended(?) on the roof, so she wouldn't disturb her friends. She opened the door and walked down the steps quietly.

"Friends? Are you present?" she whispered. When no one answered, she sighed. She was glad her friends were not here. She did not want her friends to see her like this. Starfire walked to the couch and sat down. She put her face in her hands and began to cry. She let go of all the emotions she had bottled up inside her. From the time she found out that Robin had a girlfriend to her break up with Red X.


In Robin's Room

Robin was still in his room, thinking.

"Okay. So, first I apoligize to both, Star and Raven, for being a complete jerk. Then, I'll try to get Star back." he stated. He was going over what he was going to say to Rae and Star, when his stomach started growling. "I guess I was hungry after all." He opened his door and headed towardrs the kitchen.

all the things left undiscovered
leave me waiting and left to wander
I need you
yeah I need you
don't walk away
touch now how I want to feel something so real
please remind me my love
take me back


Kitchen/living room

Starfire was still crying, that she didn't hear Robin walk in.

Robin was humming to himself happily, when he heard a small sniffle. He turned towards the couch and saw Starfire crying.

"Star?"

Starfire gasped. She thought no one was here. She wiped her tears, put on a fake smile, and turned around. Friend Robin, I did not hear you come in. I thought I was alone."

"Star, are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"Of course friend Robin. I am fine. What makes you say that?"

"Well..because...I mean...you.."

At that moment Raven, BB, and Cyborg walked in.

'cause I'm so in love with that we were
I'm not breathing, I'm suffocating without you
do you feel it too?
all the things left undiscovered
leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
all the reasons left undiscovered
leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you

"we're back!" yelled BB.

"Shut up." said Raven.

"Hey Star! How was your date?" asked Cyborg.

"Had fun?" asked Raven.

"Hello friends! My date was..was..okay. I am quite tired. I think I will retire to my room now." So, she left the liviing room and went to her room. Th window was opened and her was room was cold.

"Ookayy. That was weird." stated BB.

"Shut up." said Raven, for the second time today.

"Okay, who wants pepperoni and sasuage?" asked Cyborg.

"No way! Were's the veggie pizza?"

"Here's your so-called pizza." said Cyborg as he threw the pizza at BB.

"Dude, at least I' not an animal killer!"

"Whatever man. Yo Robin! One or two slices!"

"None." replied Robin. He turned around and headed for Star's room.

"How 'bout you Raven? How many slices do you want?"

"No thanks. I'll just have my herbal tea."


Back to Star

Starfire opened her door and walked in. Sha sat on her bed and went over all the things that had happened that day. She was still thinking, but was interupted by a sound. She listened closely, on;y to find someone was knocking on her door.

"Starfire? Star? Are you there?" asked Robin.

"Come in, friend Robin."

He opened the door and walked in. He was surprised to find that her room was very dark.

"Star, are you okay?"

"Yes friend Robin, everything is wonderful."

Robin looked at her with a raised eyebrow. (a/n you know, like in sisters. when they were talking in the rooftop of the club.)

yeah I need you
don't walk away
when I'm in the dark and all alone
dreaming that you'll walk right through my door
I'ts there I now my heart is whole
there's a million reasons why I cry
hold my covers tight and close my eyes
'cause I don't want to be alone

"Everything is not wonderful. I have 'dumped', as you say, the Red X."

"What? Why? I thought that everything was going great with you guys." Robin stated woth shock, yet secretly he was happy.

'Now I am that much closer to getting Star back.' he thought.

"I thought so, too. That is until I saw him kissinf kori this morning when I went to see him." she said as the tears ran down her cheeks from remembering the events of that morning.

Robin hated seeing her like this. The glow in her was gone and she was shivering. Her once copmbed hiar was tangled up. Robin put his arms around and held her tight.

At first Starfire was surprised by his reaction, but she recovered. She put her arms around his waist, burried her face in his chest, and continued crying.

Robin could feel his shirt getting wet, but he didn't care. He had Starfire in his arms, and that's all that mattered. He could smell the scent of strawberries in her hair. He was so happy to have Star back..well, sort of.

Starfire had stopped crying awhile ago, yet, theystill remained hugging. Soon, they seperated, but remained silent. Starfire was the one to break the ice. "Thank you friend Robin."

"For what Star?"

"For helping me 'get through' this." she simply stated.

"No problem Star, that's what friends are for."

"Yes friends." she siad. "And nothing more." she added, berely above a whisper.

all the things left undiscovered
leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
all the things left undiscovered
leave me emoty and left to wonder
I need you
yeah I need you
don't walk away

Both were staring at the ground, when Robin said, "Star?"

"Yes."

"I...I...I want..."

"Yes." she said moving closer to him, never moving her eyes from his(mask).

"I want to say..."

By now they were a few inches apart.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For being a total jerk."

'cause I can't fake and I can't hate
but it's my heart that's 'bout to break
you're all I need
I'm on my knees
watch me bleed, would you listen please
I give in, I breath out, I want you
there's no doubt

Now they were a couple of centimeters apart from each other. Robin could feel her breath on his face. They were about to kiss, when the door opened, and in came Cyborg.

"Hey Star. I was just wondering if- Oh, is this a bad time? I can come back later."

"No Cyborg, it's fine." said a not so happy Robin. Then his stomach growled. He had forgotten that he had no gotten anything to eat.

"What was it you were going to tell me friend Cuborg?"

"If you wanted to eat something. Looks like Robin is hungry, but what about you?'

"Yes. I am quite hungry as well."

"Well, c'mon then. I left you guys some pizza."

Both titans were walking out the door, whan Star stopped and turned around. Cyborg kept walking and didn't notice that Star was not walking along him.

"Are you coming friend Robin?" said Star.

"Yeah." Both walked towards the living room to eat the left over pizza.

'I was so close and yet so far.' thought Robin.

I freak out, I'm left out, without you
I'm without
I cross out, I'm kicked out, I cry out, I reach out
don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away
