Chapter 7 – Confessions

"Okay, you guys, you're gonna kill me if I tell you why she wanted me!" we were back at the Tower, and the Titans wanted to know why Quartz was after me.

"It's not like you've committed a murder!" Beast Boy joked.

I looked away. I knew the guilt was showing.

"Oh my God." He whispered. "You have committed a murder!" my head snapped round to face him.

"It was an accident!"

"Dude, you're a murderer!" he cried out.

This really isn't helping! I ran out and to my room.

They are so gonna kill me. I mean, I killed someone, and now they're gonna kill me because of it! Oh damn.

"Robin?" I heard Starfire in the doorway. I turned my back on her and climbed onto my bed.

She totally ignored my body language, and walked into my room, shutting the door behind her. She sat on the bed and placed a hand on my back. I tensed up, wanted her just to go away. I mean, who can blame me? My girlfriend just found out I'm a murderer!

She began rotating her hand in circular motions, and it did calm me down…a little. Suddenly, I felt the warmth of her body against mine. She'd lied down next to me, and cuddled up. She was nuzzling my neck.

"I'm sorry…" I whispered.

"It was an accident. Now we will all fight the Quartz together as one." She told me.

There was another knock at the door. "Robin?" it was Beast Boy.

"I just wanted to say sorry for yelling at you back there. You said it was an accident and that should be enough for me. You're my friend and I should respect that."

"You know what Beast Boy," I called back. "For a moment there you actually sounded smart.

"Actually, I wanted to apologise, but the rest was off a piece of paper Raven wrote." I laughed. Beast Boy will never change.

"Oh yeah, is Starfire in there?"

"Yes."

"Cyborg says don't get up to anything as you was with her last night. We're not that stupid Robin! You may have got out before we came into her room, but we have technology!"

Holy crap.

Well, they know I murdered someone. I better tell them who. I walked into the living room with Starfire, and addressed the Titans. "I have a confession to make. Yes, I did kill someone. But actually, it was two people, and it was an accident. Me and Quartz used to be best friends, and I was at her house. I'd just got my bird-a-rangs, and was throwing them at the door when her mum and dad walked in. they hit them, and she's never forgiven me. Never. And now, well, now she wants to kill me, and when I said she's dead on the inside, what I meant was she's feeling no reason to live anymore."

"Join the club." Raven muttered under her breath.

"Whoa." Cyborg said. I almost smiled.

At least they know now!
