Chapter 1, Breaking the Habit-
Memories consume, like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
As Raven lay in her bathtub, memories filled her head, some good some bad. She remembered the day she joined the team and how happy she was deep inside, even if she didn't show it. She remembered how much she loved Robin, the Boy Wonder, and how heartbroken she was when he started going out with Starfire. Robin, the reason Raven lay in her bathtub covered in blood. Blood was everywhere, it covered the beautiful bathtub, it covered Raven's slender body, it matted her beautiful hair.
You all assume, I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
She hated Robin with all her heart. She thought Robin truly loved her, but dumped her for a red headed tramp. As Raved thought about this, everything started spinning. The last thing she heard before passing out was beast boy shouting,
"Raven, are you alright, you've been in there for three hours!"
I don't want to be the one, the battles always choose
Cause inside I realize, that I'm the one confused
-'Should I check on her?'
-'She'll kill you!'
- She's been in there for such a long time, though.'
-like I said before, she'll kill you!'
Beast Boy was having a battle with his mind when he heard a clunk coming from the bathroom. 'That's it,' Beast Boy thought 'I have to go in.' Beast Boy cautiously opened the door to find a blood soaked Raven lying in the bathtub. "Raven!" screamed Beast Boy at the top of his lungs. The rest of the team heard his scream and rushed over to find Beast Boy holding a naked, cut up, bloody Raven.
I don't know what's worth fighting for ,Or why I have to scream. I don't know why I instigate, And say what I don't mean. I don't know how I got this way or why it feels alright, so I'm breaking the habit tonight.
As Raven was rushed to the medical room, no one was worried more than Beast Boy. Beast Boy always loved Raven, even though he knew Raven had a thing for Robin. Beast Boy was so lost in thought that he didn't even hear Cyborg say that Raven has a very high chance of dying within the next few minutes.
Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
It wasn't until Starfire screamed his name that Beast Boy even knew where he was. The scene hit him like a ton of bricks. Beast Boy started too sob, more than ever before. He cried about his horrible childhood, about his past experiences, about the love of his life that was dying right in front of his eyes.
I hurt much more, than anytime before
I had no options left again
Cyborg, Robin and Starfire tried to comfort the weeping titan, but to no avail. After about and hour or so, they left the poor, lonely Titan alone with Raven and his sorrows. 'I have to stop and tell Raven right now, or else…' Beast Boy didn't want to finish his thought.
I'll paint it on the walls, Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again, And this is how it ends
As Beast Boy walked over to his dark angles bed, he took a glance at the heart monitor above her. 'Slow but it's still moving' thought Beast Boy, trying to be as optimistic as possible.
I don't know what's worth fighting for, Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity, To show you what I mean
Beast Boy walked closer to Raven's resting spot. 'She looks so beautiful' thought Beast Boy, looking at Raven's milky white (now paler than usual) skin, and her beautiful hair.
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So I'm Breaking the habit, I'm Breaking the habit
"Raven I have to tell you something very important," Beast Boy quietly said."I…I love you." As Beast Boy finished his confession, the line for her heart slowly began to slow. "Raven, please don't go." Beast Boy choked out in between sobs. Right after his plea, the line went completely straight.
I'm Breaking the habit
As Beast Boy held Ravens head, he cried into her hair. Beast Boy was lost in memories and didn't hear Raven say on her last breath, "I love you too."
