She mouthed the words 'bye' and climbed out her window and drifted down to the ground. She looked up and the tower and then let out all her tears. She loved the rain, because no one can tell she is crying. She walked out into the city past everyone not knowing who the mysterious Goth girl is but she didn't care and she never did.
And with a sigh of pain, Raven walked out into the dark cold night where anyone can be forgotten… But Raven already was.
------
Later, the titans had not been aware that she was missing until everyone got called for dinner.
"DUDES! DINNER'S SERVED! COME GET IT WHILE IT'S STILL HOT!"
BB's call echoed through the tower and Starfire and Robin walked in together laughing about something… most likely funny. Cyborg came after them humming happily to himself about something… happy. (Ok sorry I'll move on) They sat down at the couch and Cyborg turned on the TV to watch Friends. (What the hell?) And Beast Boy handed out there dinner, Cyborg studies his.
It looked like vegetables, potatoes and bacon… but was it real meat? This is when Cyborg needs 'the tofu detector!' he scans it and It says 'REAL MEAT, EAT IT NOW!' … he does so in a very unpleasant manner.
"Where is friend Raven? Should I ask her to join us in eating the dinner?"
"Didn't she get some herbal tea a while ago?"
"-till I spilt it…"
Everyone stares at Robin menacingly.
"What? I said sorry! It's not like she'll want something to eat before she throws it back up"
Starfire couldn't take Robin insulting her all the time; she dropped her dinner on the floor and pounded her fist on the table nearly breaking it, except she could not feel 'boundless confidence'.
"Please stop talking about Raven that way!"
Starfire demanded and everyone went quiet. Starfire flew out to the corridor to Raven's room and knocked on it loudly.
"Raven you're dinner is ready! Please come join us!"
She waited hopefully and the others followed behind her but nothing happened from Raven's room. Starfire knocked louder.
"…Raven!..."
Starfire whacked her door down and gasped, there was no one there and it looked emptier than it ever did. Everyone searched it and Robin found the photo on her bed, he looked at Raven being ignored by everyone under the tree reading.
"… She ran away"
Everyone gasped and Robin realised he had been too hard on her, that's why she ran away and he thought she was probably already drowning in her own River of Blood. Starfire turned to him and grabbed him and shook him by the shoulders.
"We must find our friend! Who knows what kind of trouble she could be in! Perhaps the one from which we found her"
She let go as he turned away and was thinking.
"…and what trouble was that?"
Everyone went quiet trying to think what could have happened and then Robin figured it out. What are the things that drive woman crazy? Body image? Looks? Rape? … He wandered into her bathroom while the others are still pondering over it, and then in her bin he saw it… the pregnancy test.
Robin ran to her window and looked out of it, there was a still a thunder storm outside and thought Raven couldn't have gotten far, a weak little girl like her.
"Robin?"
He walked out of her room and turned to the worried faces whose troubled little minds wish they were as smart as the boy wonders to figure something like this out, except BB. Such a mind like his couldn't even do that, the '…what if' questions just hurt.
"I'll bring her back"
He walked out and the others thought back to when the world was ending but Robin still had hope and they knew that he still did even if it was the end of Raven… he would bring her back.
He walked to the garage and thought it best to take the T-car; he hoped Cyborg didn't mind but all Robin was thinking was 'you break it, you bought it' he started it up and left. They others watched from living room and they heard him drive off. Cyborg pressed himself against the window.
"YO! Man there goes my ride! And he's taking it!"
"I believe that was the on tone of the T-car"
Cyborg sighs wearily and continually bangs his head against the giant window.

Raven was soaking wet and getting worse, her hair was sticking to her face and her hands and arms were freezing. She walked down to the end of a street away from the busy city and so exhausted thought since she was already drenched she could just sit down on the ground. She couldn't see anyone around her, she thought if she stayed here then the rain would flood her but she was too cold to move.
She was wandering what the titans were doing right now…probably not even aware that she was gone or having a party that she was and they could be free and happy without having to listen to mindless chanting of meditation and insulting and sarcastic comments she makes at them. They would have been better off without her in the first place.
-------
Robin turned into a corner still far off from where Raven was but then realised that she would be in a place were she would never want to be found even if it was in a flooding sewage gutter, away from the world from which had been so cruel to her.
He kept driving and stopping and driving and stopping and driving and driving and driving and stopping, till on one stop he saw something at the corner of a street under a dripping tree. He got out of the car and walked towards it, he stopped about a metre away and realised it was a girl covered by a dark hood and black clothes with a bad beside her, it didn't move.
Raven didn't know someone was there and kept thinking about the things she had done wrong in her life and apparently there could have been a list, but that list was ripped to shreds when she heard the soft caring voice…
"… Raven?"
Raven froze wandering if it really was him, yes it was, it was Robin the boy wonder she had always admired so very much and he came all the way out into the cold dark pouring night just for Raven. She felt like she could cry but gently lifted her emotionless face to him to see the same hair, mask and face.
"Raven… come on… come home"
Raven stared at his hand and thought this must be some sort of trick but she felt that he could help her somehow; maybe she could trust him enough to tell him the truth.
"… for me, please Raven… for me…"
He knelt down to her and she wrapped her arms around him and put her head on his shoulder, she tried not to ruin the moment by thinking that she was making a mistake in coming home, but she thought she could hang on for just a little longer… for Robin.
He picked her up of the ground and carried her to the T-car and lowered her to the ground so she could get in the car. He got in and he smiled to himself thinking that he really could help her and he could convince her to live life to fullest instead of dwelling in her room waiting for a death wish. He got in the car and just thought it best to drive home first instead of bringing up the topic straight away.
"…you're pregnant"
Raven pauses and screams and runs out of the car and jumps off a cliff.
"…uh… so you don't want to talk about it? ... "
Robin laughs to himself at this thought but tries not to think up a sequel as it might be offensive to Raven… hm… gee ya think? They drive home together and on the way Raven falls asleep and for once not a nightmare or scary memory of her past, but a dream… a nice happy one where you are flying over the beautiful scenery of New Zealand. (Go there! It's an AWESOME country! And not just because I live there! …oh gosh where did everyone go? Probably put them off… oh well)
Robin smiled and stroked her cheek softly and he kissed her gently on the cheek.
"There is always hope"

Aww! Now wasn't that cute? Don't worry it will get better… better… than it's a tragic ending. So if you're not going to read the whole story then at least read the last 2 paragraphs on the last chapter! And REVIEW PLEASE! . I want 20! Jokes! Just please review! I make the updates very fast! No longer than 2 days! Unless computer crash or no computer then a certain someone doesn't have to kill me! stares menacingly at WriteR WhO WriteS and cracks both knuckles
Was this chapter a waste?... be honest now it was simple but quite moving? Pathetic? Boring? Exciting? Futuristic? Apparently it has pink bunnies in it? Please tell me and if I'm doing something wrong and as funny as it may be, don't leave me to look like an idiot and laugh at me… it isn't very nice… HA! THAT GUY IS WEARING PINK! HE'S GAY! HAHAHA!
