This is my very songfic, and there will probably be more to follow.

Behind These Green Eyes
Beast Boy had been sitting on the boulder for hours, just skipping stones. Terra had taught him how to skip them so they flew over the water for several paces. But thinking about the blonde, earth-controller just then made him want to cry.
Beast Boy turned into a wren and flew up to the Tower and through his open, bedroom window. He let the morph go a few feet above his bed. He just laid there, wallowing in his grief. Just stop thinking about her! His mind screamed at him. How?
After a couple moments of inner indecision, Beast Boy resolved to try and forget all about Terra. He felt around for his radio and pushed the power button. A song was just beginning.
Seems just like yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
You're arms around me tight
Everything felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
Oh no! Not now! Beast Boy squeezed his eyes shut to prevent the tears from coming.
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken u deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Sounds a lot like me, he realized as the song progresses.
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
It's what I pretend to be
Sown together but so broken up inside
Describes how I feel now perfectly.
'Cause I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I wouldn't say my eyes are hazel though. Tears leaked down his cheeks. Terra said they were emerald green. No! Don't think of her! Don't think of her! Don't think of her!
Swallow me than spit me out
For hating you I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
Though I don't cry
On the outside
Anymore, anymore
Terra-Somebody got him too I guess. Beast Boy angrily whipped his tears away. Why was I the one that had to fall for the traitor? After all I've had to go through, why me?
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
He brushed the tears away again, but they just wouldn't stop.
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
He shut off the radio then and buried his face in the pillow. He couldn't take it. The tears came quietly, but his loud thoughts made up for it. Why God? Why do you do these things to me? First you take away my parents, then you make me live on the street, and now you've turned my first love into a traitor! Why? Beast Boy's tears came faster and more abundantly. Why? He didn't hear the light tap on his door. He didn't hear the gentle patter of boots on his carpet, nor did he hear the small sound of a cape swishing. But he did feel the gentle touch on his shoulders, which eased his sobbing. And he did hear the feminine whisper.
"Life isn't always fair, but that's why you have friends: To pull you through the dark times."

Sad, that's the only word. I just heard the song, so forgive me if the lyrics aren't perfect.
