Regrem Erutaerc: Got it, more detail...keep that in mind. Thanks for the comment. I hope this chapter is better then the last.
Overactive Mind: I use the Alt + Enter thing to make it drop to the exact next line instead of just hitting enter and letting it skip a line. Hope that helps you.

Chapter Song: Crossfade – "So Far Away"
Chapter 2 – Far Away Yet Right Here
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
(I've been changin' but you'll never see me now)
Now I'm blaming you for everything
Raven sighed from her seat beside Beastboy's sleeping body. As promised she returned to his room, after meditating for a few minuets trying to clear her mind.
-Flash Back-
Raven shook her head as the door to her bedroom closed behind her, she paused looking around before walking to her dresser and picking up the familiar mirror that lead into 'nevermore'.
"Raven!" The yellow cloaked, Happy, yelled running over to her. "How's BB? Is he okay?" she asked then paused noticing her expression. "What's up Rea?"
Raven growled softly. "Where is sorrow?" she hissed.
Happiness blinked studding her. "Over there…" she muttered pointing to a dimly colored gray cloak that sat not far away.
Raven nodded walking over to her. "Who gave you permission to come out?" she hissed at the emotion angrily.
Sorrow blinked looking at Raven, her eyes holding back tears. "Ra…Raven..I..I didn't do it…this girl…emotion…told me…to.."she said sobbing softly.
Raven blinked. "Which emotion?" she questioned her.
"Her." She muttered wiping her eyes and pointing to an emotion wearing a very pale pink robe.
Raven raised a brow as she walked toward the emotion. 'Which one is she?' she wonder as she got closer. "Who are you to command Sorrow?" she yelled at her, her anger re-surfacing.
The emotion turned and had a frown upon her face. "My…my name is…Loneliness (a.k.a Lonely) ma'am…I've been here…a while…and…I though crying would make me feel better…so I told Sorrow to…"
"Make me act like a fool near Beastboy and possibly the others?" Raven barked.
"No..i would never…and…Beastboy, he's asleep and…I never sensed anyone else and…I'm sorry.." she whispered in a frail voice.
No more holding it in
How many years can I pretend
Nothing ever goes the way it should
Raven sighed. "Its…okay..just..do not do it again!"
Lonely nodded and walked off to her corner of Raven's mind.
-End Flashback-
She looked at Beastboy lying peacefully on the bed. "You look asleep…so why not just wake up?" she muttered softly.
'If only I could Raven, I would.' Beastboy sighed sadly then looked around the dark area one more before jumping at the sound of Raven getting to her feet.
'I can't stay here…' she thought 'If I do then Lonely will take over once more…' She sighed thinking back to how she'd reacted just moments after Beastboy had been put under machine surveillance. 'Stupid Beastboy…you had to get hurt…' she thought angrily as she walked up the stairs that lead to the roof of Titans Tower, praying no one else would be up there to bother her, when she really wanted to be alone.
No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
That what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away
She smiled inwardly as she opened the door and saw no one, but was greeted by the sounds of birds chirping quietly in the distance. "Thank goodness." She whispered.
'Raven?' a soft voice came out of nowhere, making Raven jumped and look around.
"Who's there?" she muttered.
'Its…well…Lonely…' it came again.
Raven sighed softly, feeling stupid for not recognizing her own emotion talking to her. "What do you want?" she asked.
Lonely was hesitant to respond. 'I….I want you to….go back to Beastboy…' she choked out.
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
Now I'm blaming you for everything
Raven blinked. "And why would I want to go back?"
'Because you love to be near him…' another voice called out.
Raven blinked noticing the change, it had gone from Lonely's soft timid voice, to another emotions stronger voice. "Who are you?" she questioned, unable to place a name on it.
The emotion laughed. 'My name doesn't matter right now Raven. But you should go back to Beastboy…you know you want to.' She said and her voice faded off.
I'm so far away
Raven sighed softly, thinking over what to do. She had, after all, come up here to be alone. Being around Beastboy just made her sad now. After thinking it over carefully she turned and headed back toward the sick bay.
Beastboy yawned rolling on the floor of the dark area. 'Dude! WHEN am I getting out of here! Its soooooo boring! There isn't even any video games!' he sighed then sat up as he heard the doors open again.
Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Hey hey I've been saved
With sun shining on my pain
Getting me through this day
Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Feels so good to say
"Friend Beastboy?" Starfire's voice came softly. (A/N: HAHA! You thought it was Raven didn't you…suckers x3)
Beastboy smiled inwardly, glad to hear a voice other then Raven's for a little. Raven was getting a bit to depressing to hear now. 'Hey Starfire…' He thought, though knew she couldn't hear him.
"I was wondering…Friend Raven, does she blame herself for what has happened to you? She seams to be spending much of her… 'hang out time' with you….I wonder if she is okay…" Starfire said softly.
I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything
'Heh, I wish I knew what she was thinking Star…' Beastboy sighed then smiled having an idea. 'That's it!'
Now I'm blaming you
He heard Starfire sigh softly before walking toward the door before stopping and turning back.
"Please Friend Beastboy….for the sake of you and the Raven….wake up soon…" she said and walked out.
Beastboy nodded inwardly. 'Don't worry star…I'll talk to one of you guys soon…'
I'm so far away
Kim: Well…that was a pretty long chapter there, but fun to write all the same. Due to my school starting now the updates won't be as often as I first hopped so…I'll go for at least once maybe twice a week to keep you guys and gals happy. Thanks for reading.
