In A Moment
Chapter 15
Two Sides Of The Story
No words could express how Terra felt at that moment, at a single word. It played out like this: two people that were desperately in love looked straight at each other. Both of their eyes filled with tears as they realized the reality of what was happening. The girl had been raped and was now pregnant, and the boy was not the dad.
The two were both uncomfortable, but for different reasons. Beast Boy could not dare to image that man hurting his love, doing….. that to her. But Terra was ashamed, she felt like she had betrayed him, and she felt dirty for letting Slade touch her…she felt responsible for this.
Terra sat up in her hospital bed, she turned away from Beast Boy and began to cry. He tried to comfort her, but she pulled away. She wasn't worthy. She got out of the bed and tied her scrubs closed, then, just left.
He sat in shock, he had had a few hours to process this, but it still hurt. He was mostly glad Slade hadn't taken her virginity, because he wasn't sure that she would ever get over that. But knowing that he did that to her period, and got her pregnant, that was going to raise hell. He sat quietly for a while before leaving for the tower, he had news for his best friends.
Terra paced the fourth floor of the hospital, she saw the flash of Beast Boy walking down the stairs, but she didn't want to say goodbye. This couldn't be happening, for quite some time she had dreamed of having children with Beast Boy, but she was stupid. She had gotten involved with Slade, she made a mistake. But that was it, she thought she was done paying for it, she figured she was being punished for something else.
She stopped by a large window; she looked out and saw something she definitely didn't want to see.
The volcano.
"Terra's pregnant with Slade's baby!"
Robin looked at his friend in disbelief, but Beast Boy was too ashamed to see it. He delivered his news then sulked off to his room. When he got there he fell into his bed and flashes of his first night with Terra ran through his head. The thought of another man touching her made his skin crawl. He wouldn't stand for this, he couldn't.
Terra had escaped the hospital easily enough, she wasn't questioned, she thought that maybe people recognized her. She walked quietly down the streets of the city for hours on end, she wasn't wearing any shoes, and her feet stung, but she didn't care.
She reached her destination at sunset, she look up at it with a lone tear rolling down her face. She knew what she was here to do.
Beast Boy awoke to the a beautiful sunset outside his window, it was beautiful, and the the pale yellow that went around the trim reminded him of Terra's golden locks. God he loved her, what did it matter what had happened in the past?
He sat up with a smile on his face and quickly headed for the hospital, he needed his girlfriend back.
Terra felt her powers return to her as she climbed, the sent of the crusty rock danced inside her nostrils, and she felt whole again. She hadn't felt that since her first night with Beast Boy, but not even that could bring a smile to her face.
At this point people from all around the volcano were watching as this insane girl climbed with all her might.
She reached the top.
Beast Boy was almost at the hospital when he saw the crowd of people, he naturally went to investigate, but what he saw was not pleasing at all. Terra was standing on the top of the volcano, and she didn't look safe.
Beast Boy quickly transformed into a bird and speedily flew up to the top of the rock. He turned human just in time to see Terra's surprised face.
"Terra! What the hell are you doing?"
Terra looked at him expressionless and turned around to face the edge of the volcano. He walked towards her, "Wha- what are you doing?"
She turned around and hugged him, "I love you Beast Boy, and I'm sorry…"
His skin lost about as much color as it possibly could, she couldn't be doing this. She backed up to the edge, still facing him. "I'm sorry for hurting you."
A saddened smile crossed her face, she let her arms go free, and she fell.
