Tracing the Outline
I'm back. I just feel like writing so much on this story. It's something I've wanted to write about for a long time. Well, here you go.
"Gaara?" Raven queered
"Something, in my chest," he mumbled.
"Are you having a heart attack?"
"No, a warm feeling, I've never felt it before."
"I don't know what it is, but I feel it too. In my heart. I suppose… I think-"
At this moment the hospital door swung open Robin waltzed in.
"What happened?" he demanded.
Raven raised an eyebrow. "I fell?"
Maniac popped her head in the room and smiled. Walking the rest the way in she scratched her spiky head and laughed nervously. "I tried to stop him you know?"
"Never mind. What I want is answers and I want them now," Robin snapped.
"I fell off the roof, what is there to talk about?" Raven said coldly. 'He can't just walk in here like that,' she thought.
"People don't just fall off the roof. You know what I think? I think he pushed you off," Robin said pointing to Gaara, "Then played hero and saved you."
"Wow, that is the most retarded thing I've ever heard," Maniac retorted.
"Maniac, I don't need your help right now."
"Sorry."
Raven shook her head. "Why would Gaara push me off? Answer me that?"
"See that look in his eye? It's like he wants to kill. I see it right now."
"Duck and cover!" Maniac screamed, diving under the hospital bed.
Raven glared at Maniac. "Look Robin-"
"Stop being an ass," Gaara finished. He had had enough of this. Robin had no right to judge him like that. And the only person he wanted to kill right now was him.
(Robin is an ass! LOL! I hate Robin, he's a bitch!)
"Gaara didn't have anything to do with me falling. And no it wasn't suicide," Raven said before Maniac could comment. Maniac closed her mouth and shrank back under the bed.
"I was meditating, and Gaara came up to check on me. I wasn't expecting anyone, and I was startled. I tripped, and fell off. Then Gaara caught me before I hit the ground," Raven said slowly. She hadn't really thought of a story to tell the others. She wasn't going to tell the truth, they would all hate Gaara then.
"And your arm?" Robin hissed.
"It's fine," Raven said quickly.
"It's broken."
"I'm fine."
Robin narrowed his eyes.
"You fell off the roof, how could you have broken your arm?"
Raven paused. She hadn't thought about this. "It must have… broken… when Gaara caught me. It could be whiplash?"
"And how did Gaara catch you without falling himself?"
"Oh… well…"
"I have a special power. I can control sand. I was able to soften the impact and save her life. She landed on her arm though. Explaining why it's crushed," Gaara answered.
Robin glared.
"Uh… yeah, that's right. I just passed out… and I don't remember it all that well."
"Yeah!" Maniac said, crawling out from under the bed. "So back off yo before I got to go crazy on yo ass." Maniac screwed her eyes up and gave Robin an insane look. "Back up. Back up watch me now. I go crazy."
Robin sighed. This wasn't going anywhere. It was obvious he wasn't going to get any answers. "Fine." With that, he turned and left the room.
Maniac smirked and looked to the 2 teens. "Raven and Gaara sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage," Maniac sang. "That's not all, that's not all-"
Raven growled and tossed her hospital pillow in Maniac's face.
"Owe. That's not all, that's not all, the babies playing basket ball-"
Raven hoped out of the bed and smacked Maniac with the pillow again.
"Owe, shit. That's no fair, I don't got a pillow."
Raven smacked her upside the head.
"Cheap shot Rae!"
Raven hit her even harder. "Get out!" Raven growled.
"That's not all, that's not all," Maniac ducked the next attack. "Ha! The babies drinking alco-" Maniac ran out of the room quickly. Poking her head back in she sang the last verse, "alcohol!" Raven threw the pillow at the door and Maniac disappeared.
Raven groaned. "She is so annoying."
"Love?" Gaara whispered.
"Huh?"
Gaara put his hand on his chest. "This feeling. Is it love?"
"Well, I wouldn't say love. That's sorta a strong word don't you think?" Raven questioned nervously. Was he serious though? Did he think he was in love with her?
"I don't feel the pain anymore. Yashimaru, he said, love was the only medicine for the pain in my chest."
Gaara stared at Raven with a dazed look in his eyes.
"You mean your uncle?"
Was this why he kept saving her? Why he kept hanging around all the time? Gaara loved her?
But he couldn't. They had just met.
"You're the only one that understands me," he said softly to himself. "I don't know what to do now."
'And he understands me. Maybe, I like him too,' she thought.
Raven looked at her feet in wonder. Was it love that she felt?
She lifted her head to have a glimpse of Gaara, only to see that he was gone, and a small pile of sand left where he was standing.
Whatch'a think? Please review. I love getting kudos!
