Author Note: I would have updated this last week but fanfiction wasn't letting me upload chapters...weird.Well here's yet another chapter.
Enjoy!
Even though Raven knew Garfeild was going to hate her for the rest of her life, she needed to make this easier. Yes she was going to butt in his relationship/affair. Yes she was going to confront Terra herself. Yes she was going to make her never show her face again. She walked the halls and looked in the girls bathrooms to find Terra knowing she skips classes sometimes. She found her upstairs in the senior hall bathroom. She was brushing her hair slowly and Raven walked in standing right beside her.
Silence.
"Hi Raven," Terra said cheerfully. She stopped brushing her hair and looked over at Raven as if they were about to hug. "What's up?" Raven did not smile. She folded her arms across her chest.
"I told him." Raven said. Terra looked at her weirdly, not understanding what she said.
"What are you talking about? Who's 'him'?" Terra asked bluntly. Raven was on the verge of breaking the mirror and taking a piece of glass and scratching Terra's face up. (A/N:Ooh that's violent)
"Don't play stupid with me or anyone. I saw you at the mall. I saw you with Malchior. I told Garfeild." Raven said angrily. Terra's smile fell to a frown. She looked away from Raven but then back at her.
"I guess you love this don't you. Making me the bad guy." Terra said.
"You were already the bad guy Terra. Don't make this about me or anyone else. And I'm not doing this to make you look bad, you did that on yourself. I'm doing this to not make you hurt Garfeild." Raven said. Terra looked down. What was she thinking? She honestly did like Garfield a lot. Did she think about him at the mall? No…She's absolutely right…Terra forced she to think in her mind. There was silence. She knew she hurt Raven too. Why was there such tension between the two? Was it because Terra didn't want Raven to be Juliet anymore? Was it because she knew, Garfeild deep down, liked Raven? Terra sighed, she was defeated.
"That thing with Malchior—" she started. Raven shook her head.
"Don't." she spoke. Terra nodded.
"I guess everyone knows?" Terra asked. Raven didn't answer her. Terra got the hint. She reached into her tote back and pulled out the script and handed it to Raven. Something Raven didn't expect. "I don't need it." Terra said. She wasn't coming back.
She's not coming back. Raven was right. How she put everything in one letter, one letter of truth. She wrote how she was leaving so she wouldn't make things harder on him or anyone else, how right Raven was and even some wrong things. She wrote that she's going to miss him. And that she was sorry. But sorry doesn't bring the fact that she can't change the past. She, Terra was gone.
It was 7:45pm and Garfeild was still at school, sitting on the steps. It was too cold to be outside but he didn't care. He read the letter, once, twice, a total of 3 times and then he told himself he wasn't going to read it anymore. He didn't need to. What he needed was to talk to Raven. And apologize, once again to her. But was she going to even listen to him anymore?
"Its kinda cold out to be sitting here." said a voice. Garfeild already knew it was Raven. She walked over to him and sat down the steps were freezing. They didn't say anything for a while.
"I know you're probably mad I'm going to apologize right now. I just thought it would have been hard for you if you talked to her in person—" Raven started quietly. Garfeild but a hand over her mouth, she most likely would have thrown his arm away and yell at him to not touch her face but she just stopped talking and he removed his hand. Raven looked at him. He looked pale and very cold. "You should go home Garfeild before you get sick." Raven suggested.
"Practice tomorrow, you're going right?" Garfeild asked ignoring her advice to go home and warm up. Raven wasn't sure she was still playing the part.
"I…guess…?" Raven said slowly and vague.
"You were always better for the part." Garfeild then said. Raven was lucky it was dark so he didn't know she was blushing.
"You still want to act the part?" Raven asked. Garfeild nodded.
"I'm no quitter." He said.
"Except for schoolwork." Raven mentioned.
"Yea I suppose that." Raven then smiled genuinely even though they were both hurt angry, and sad, they somehow made it work out. For some reason she wished she could kiss him. She didn't know why she didn't five minutes ago. Something was holding her back. There was a boundary she remembered. They were friends. But wouldn't they kiss in the play? A couple of times.Wait...was she even doing the play anymore? But that would be professional. Ouch that sort of hurt...Raven thought. But just becausehe wasn't with Terra anymore didn't mean she wasin love with him he was a close friend. Pretty close Raven thought again. She had a weird feeling in her stomach.Raven was confused.
Sorry that was short...again...I think I'm losing this story...hopefully not. Well review! Thanks!
