CH 12: A Moment Thought Lost

Beast Boy couldn't believe his lively green eyes. There she was alive, sitting there as if nothing happened. His eyes welled with tears of joy and a smile came creeping onto hs face.

"…Terra…" Was all he could mutter in a soft tone. He lunged forward and hugged her best he could with out disconnecting anything of harming her shoulder. He began blubbering softly through his tears, are he held hugged her.

"I thought I lost you…Oh thank the Lord your still here." He whispered to her. Apparently someone or somebody had been looking out for him that faithful day. He sobbed still, but for joy, for his true lover was still there I his arms.

"It's okay, I'm here." She said soothingly. He ears rung at her soft words. He remembered when she had come back. He had told her the exact same thing. That he was there. He had taught her a lesson that day. That there was lala land and reality and that lala land was how to look on the bright side. But today, Terra had taught him a lesson. Reality could be cruel, but if you don't ever look at it, and only stay in lala land, then Reality can hit you really hard.

Beast Boy shot out into the hallway and began to yell with glee. "GET IN HERE QUICK!" He waited impatiently for the doctors to arrive. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours. But he didn't mind this time. He felt like he could wait for ever, now that Terra was safe.

The doctors came with the heart defibrillator at hand and other equipment, They looked some what distressed, but their expression changed as they looked at the blonde haired girl's lover. He was smiling. "Has he gone mad?" The doctor thought to himself. The nurses were about ready to and get a stretcher for Beast Boy, thinking he had gone insane, having hallucinations. But when the doctors and nurses got to the room, their eyes were full of astonishment. She was alive. All of the tests had indicated the she was going to die within an hour or less even. And yet she was sitting there looking at them wondering was happening.

The doctors rushed over to her and began testing her.

Beast Boy smiled, Terra had proved the doctors wrong. He suddenly remembered his friends and knew they would love to be alerted. He broke from Terra, with a smile, and ran down the halls to tell his friends to stop crying of sadness and turmoil; But of joy.

Waiting Room…

Every one still sat there, crying, or looking miserable. Every ones mind was blank, they knew what was to come, the just didn't bother to think about it. They knew hope was lost. They didn't bother to pray any more for life. But they prayed For the Lord to keep Terra safe. They could almost hear the funeral music, taunting, knocking at the hospital doors. The bitter taste of loss was filling their mouths, causing them to frown. Most of the Titans, refused to look up. Not wanted to see a reflection of their sorrow in their friends.

But they did look up to see some one that almost made then want to cry.

Beast Boy stood in front of the hallway entrance and stared at them with a smile.

"Dear God, he's gone mad!" Raven thought to herself, her eyes widening. Every one looked up at him with pity.

They had heard his scream in the hallway, Terra's heart must have gave way, and now that she was dead, they knew that he must have lost his mind.

"Guys, I have great news!" Beast Boy shouted with joy. His expression changed as he looked at his friends. They looked scared. "Um…What's wrong? Ya'll are looking at me like I'm insane or some thing." Beast Boy interrogated. His friends remained silent. "Guys, you won't believe it. Terra's alive!" Beast Boy said almost yelling.

"Beast Boy I think you need to lie down." Raven said. "Nah, But I think you need to go into Terra's room and see what I'm talking about." Beast Boy suggested. Raven shook her head. She knew what she was going to see, and she didn't want to, but she figured that she might as well, for Beast Boy's sake.

She stood up slowly and walked towards Beast Boy. As soon as she got to him, he took off into the halls. Raven slowly followed. It felt like a long walk for her. Knowing…Knowing what sight was to come into view. Her foot steps were so light, you could not hear them. Her eyes welled with tears. Even Raven cried, in this situation. She was about to witness a nightmare, a nightmare that only a man with a gun could have created; to make two lovers, slip so far; insanity and death. Her breath began to shake as they got closer and as her thoughts ripped her apart.

They reached her room, and to Raven's surprise she heard whispers and howls of excitement. "What?" Raven thought to herself.

Beast Boy looked back at Raven. He smiled, to see her confused at the situation was a lot better than to see her sad. He didn't even hesitate to stand back and watch her go into the room. He wanted to see her surprised.

Raven cautiously walked closer to the frame of the door. She peered around the door and slowly crept inside. She couldn't see that well, the doctors were in her way. When one managed to move; her heart stopped. There Terra was, Alive slightly getting ticked off by the doctors.

Raven's eyes watered even more. Her mouth covered by her hands. A small smile crept onto her face. And thankfully, the doctors began to exit the room.

Terra stared at Raven with a wondering face. "What's wrong?" Terra thought to herself. She remembered clearly blacking out and the pain ripping her shoulder to pieces. But she didn't think it would kill every body as it almost did her.

Raven walked over to her. Her lavender eyes welling. Tears drowning her pupils like Houdini in a trick tank. Raven removed one of her hands from her mouth, trying to make sure that she was real or if it was an illusion. She reached for Terra's good shoulder. She could feel the matter beneath her fingers. She was real.

Raven was about to hug her, but then saw her hurt shoulder. She wanted to hug her so badly. Her best friend was still there.

"Your still here…" Raven whispered. "I am if you want me to be," Terra began. "…Every thing may feel unreal, but it's not."

Raven smiled. She turned to Beast Boy, who was also smiling. She walked over to him. "I'm going to go tell the others." She said then walked out of the room.

Beast smile widened and his eyes closed. He turned around and opened his eyes and when his eyes met Terra's, his smile went upside down and his eyes softened at her stare. He now had her, here, alone, and alive. But now he had a relic of a problem that he had buried in a box when they said she would die. And that problem was: How was he going to tell her how he felt?

He swallowed hard. He slightly began to shake. He took one step forward and then swallowed again. If he was lucky, maybe he could tell her and not have to be carried away in a stretcher. He took a few more steps closer and then stopped. He was right next to her bed. He avoided her gaze the best he could. Fore he knew if he didn't he could never escape it.

"Beast Boy?" She called. Her voice was as sweet as an angel's and her eyes had a pleading tint to them.

He tried to avoid her voice, he tried to avoid her eyes, but he had to answer her. He turned his head around to meet the one thing he was reluctant to meet; her eyes. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean under the sun. He was dumb struck; they were just as beautiful as before. His mouth, slightly dropped, but he thought she wouldn't notice.

"Are you okay?" She asked, her voice changed as it sounded like she had changed her original question.

'Crap!' Beast Boy thought to himself, he thought he had covered up his mystified face, but apparently she had seen right through it. If she could see through his facial expressions…Then could she see through him?

"Umm…yeah, I'm fine…Now that you're here." He said slightly blushing. He could see a blush creep onto her face and a smile appear, she turned away to avoid his gaze. He wished she wouldn't.

"So…you're alive…that's great!" He said an embarrassed smile fighting his mind. 'That was the dumbest remark in history Beast Boy!' He thought regretfully.

"Yeah…It's nice, to see you here too, where I would have gone, there wouldn't have been a Beast Boy to make me laugh." She replied trying to flatter him.

"Umm, yeah, you know the others weren't so sure about that, they thought I was going insane when I said that you were alive." Beast Boy said with a light chuckled and a grin.

"Beast Boy…You've been insane, ever since the day I met you." Terra said with giggle. She watched his facial expression, a light grin galloped onto his face.

"Just crazy, about you." He quietly stated, he figured she could hear him, and she did, but she didn't know how to reply.

"Beast Boy," She called again, remembering what she was going to ask before.

"Hmm." He answered, making eye contact.

"…Before all of this happened…What were you going to ask me?" She asked, eying him suspiciously.

Beast Boy almost choking on his own breath as he had taken in a gulp of air when she asked him that. He stayed silent for a moment trying to recall the conversation

"Look, you're a really great person and I just thought that maybe some time we could-"

He shivered as he looked at her and tried to think of how to tell her. He felt his life piecing together and trembling as he felt like the leaning tower of piazza.

"Well…You see…I… was going to…"

Terra felt her hopes rising as she kept her eyes on him. Which she thought might be making him nervous. 'This is it!' she thought excitedly to herself.

Beast Boy sighed in defeat, he couldn't think fast enough to come up with a planned answer, so he went with he instincts and his emotions.

"Look…Terra, I love you a lot…Not just as a friend, not just as a team mate…But as some thing more…" Beast said softly. His gut relaxed a little, fore now the emotion that had been driving his mind had now gotten out.

Terra smiled. She had been waiting for so long for him to say that. She was fidgeting as he said it and now it made her a little nervous. It was her turn t reply, and she didn't know how, just like he didn't.

"I love you too, Beast Boy." He said softly, choking on the tears riding on the edge of her eyes.

The green Boy's eyes grew large as the words jammed into his ears, he felt faint as it was said.

Their eyes met and every thing seemed to place together as they read the stories in each other's eyes. The Green forest green emerald, met the cerulean ocean blue. Their breath seemed none existent. And movement was stolen. Beast Boy sat on the stool, while looking at her.

They're faces reached closer, until their lips met and shock rushed through their bodies. The world seemed to hold still for a few moments, until the kiss was broken, which only lasted two seconds. Smiles both crested their faces.

But what they didn't know was that four people were outside of their room listening and a little cyborgenetic hand was crawling around on the floor taping it all.
