Chapter 2: Robin's fallen For Storm
[Starfire's POV]
I wish I hadn't taken my sister on the date me with and Robin. This probably would had never happen if it weren't for me. I wish I could be happy for Robin and Storm, but I just wasn't. Here is what happened that night at dinner. Storm, Robin, and I were all sitting at the table and Robin was paying more attention to Storm then me. Storm was telling him about the times she had in space. I sighed and looked around. At first I thought Robin was just being polite to Storm, but after hours of talking to only Storm, I was thinking it was like he liked her better then he liked me!! Then I decided to break them up.
"Does anyone want anything else?" I questioned and Robin and Storm both shook their heads and went back to talking. I sighed and listened to them talk about space and my family. I finally decided that it was time to go.
"I think we should go home now" I said and they both nodded. We got up and walked out, but on the way home Storm and Robin kept on talking. It was like Robin was falling for Storm. Then it happened. The thing I most want to forget. Storm's emotions decided it should rain. So it started to rain and Robin gave Storm his coat. I was so surprised and hurt I flew all the way to the tower. I was dripping wet so I ran upstairs before anyone could talk to me. God how I hated Storm being here!! She was interfering with my life and my boyfriend!! I heard the door open and Storm and Robin talking. Then I heard foot steps. Storm was coming up to my room. She opened the door.
"Star, I'm really sorry.... I just want you to know that Robin still cares for you..." Storm said and I turned away from her.
"Like I care" I said and Storm sighed.
"Robin wants me to tell you this.... He's breaking up with you" Storm said and I was shocked again. I was full of sorrow. I had tears in my eyes.
"What?!" I yelled and Storm sat down next to me.
"Star, he's breaking up with you to be with me! I'm sorry! But I want you to know that he still cares about you as his 'best friend' just not his 'girlfriend.' Starfire I want you to approve of our dating" Storm said and I faced her and she saw how hurt I was.
"This is the so called 'love at first sight' is it not?" I questioned and Storm nodded.
"I do not approve of your dating because I want Robin to tell me he's breaking up with me.... Also I don't want him moving on so fast" I said and Storm sighed.
"Starfire, he doesn't have the heart to say it... Anyways the whole part of why he's breaking up with you is because he's already moved on" Storm said and wrapped her arm around me. I pushed her off.
"Fine...." I said and Strom smiled.
"Don't worry Starfire, everything will work out perfectly" Storm said and she left. The were not my real feelings. I wanted to hate Robin and Storm for being like this!! I would have to keep my feelings away from everyone... I have spent a couple months like this, watching Robin and Storm be close together like this.... It burns and it makes scars in my heart. Storm should be leaving soon, but since she's hooked up with Robin, it's like she's becoming a Teen Titan. Everywhere Robin goes, Storm will follow. There have been a lot of sun sets, because that's the weather change for Storm emotions, beautiful red and yellow sun sets. I guess those are the feelings between her and Robin. I've watched them over and over again and still can't stand it!! I went downstairs where Robin and Storm were... Robin looked at me and I gave him this look he probably would never forget. It was full of hurt, sorrow, and reject that Robin turned away. I sighed and walked away. I grabbed myself a soda and walked up to my room. What was wrong with me that Robin didn't like? Storm almost looked the same as me just different color skin, hair, outfit, and eyes. Storm wasn't like the others, Storm was 'special' as the other titans called her. She controlled the weather, big deal!! I looked at myself in the mirror. Then there was a knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I asked and the door opened. It was Raven.
"What is it friend Raven?" I asked and Raven sat down.
"Star, why do you let your sister always push you down like that?" Raven asked and I sat down next to her. Why was I letting Storm push me down like that?
"I don't know, anyways you guys think of her as special!!" I said and Raven shook her head.
"We think of her as special, but we don't want to watch you unhappy" Raven said and I sighed.
"Everything is wonderful, how could I not be happy?" I asked and Raven looked me in the eye. She could tell I was lying.
"Starfire..." Raven said and trailed off.
"I am unhappy because Robin chose Storm over me, I mean Storm isn't that great is she Raven, is she?" I asked and Raven shrugged.
"She's okay. We only think of her as special because she controls the weather, you've got to admit Star that, that's pretty cool" Raven said and I didn't smiled. I didn't laugh. I didn't even answer. There was a moment of silence before I spoke.
"You don't understand Raven, Storm is always special. When I was young, Storm was always the best in the family because she controlled the weather!! You didn't know how bad it was for Blackfire and me!! Storm was suppose to become queen because she was always the best in everything.... Storm had refused to be queen, but the planet insisted that Storm should be queen... Storm took the crown and soon found that she didn't want to be queen anymore, so she left for earth.... That's when I ran away to here and Blackfire became wanted.... Storm wasn't planning on coming here, but that day she suddenly shows up, takes my boyfriend, and my life!!" I said and Raven shook her head.
"You let that all happen Starfire?" Raven questioned and I nodded.
"This is what happened the day Storm was born......"
Flashback....
Starfire and Blackfire stood by their mother's side. Starfire watched as her baby sister was being born. Blackfire was eleven and Starfire was nine.
"This is gross, can we leave sister?" Starfire asked and Blackfire shook her head.
"It's fine, don't you want to be here when you're sister is born?" Blackfire asked and Starfire shrugged.
"I don't really care..." Starfire said and Black hit her in the arm.
"Don't say that, I mean really everybody wants to see there baby sister or brother born!!" Blackfire said and turned back to her mother.
"I don't" Starfire muttered and turned to her mother too. Her mother was holding a baby girl. Starfire smiled and so did Blackfire.
"Mother, she is beautiful!!" Blackfire said and Starfire agreed.
"Agreed!!" Starfire said and their mother looked at them.
"You girls promise to be nice to your baby sister?" their mother asked and they both nodded.
"Of course, what could go wrong?" Blackfire said and Starfire nodded.
A couple years later....
Storm was always the special one. Blackfire was tried of having a younger sister who was better then her. One day Blackfire and Starfire were talking about Storm. Blackfire was now fourteen and Starfire was twelve. Storm was three years old and still was the favorite out of the other two girls. When Storm was two, they had found out her power.... And Storm was the favorite.
"You told me nothing bad was going to go wrong Blackfire, but Storm gets everything she wants! I mean she's three! It's like I can't even talk to my own mother!!" Starfire said
"I know, I hate her!" Blackfire said
"I feel like running away where I can be loved for who I am, not what I'm like and what powers I hold!!" Starfire said
"I wish I could too, how about we run away when I'm seventeen and you're fifteen!!" Blackfire said and Starfire agreed.
"I would like to run away forever and never come back! This will be wonderful!!" Starfire said and they both smiled at each other.....
End of Flashback
"Is that what happened Star? You ran away and they you can here?" Raven questioned and Starfire nodded.
"Yep, Blackfire went to a different part of the world and I went here" I said and sighed.
"It's just Storm is always special, she always gets everything she wants! I had finally got what I wanted and she came and took it all away from me!" I cried and I sank to my knees.
"Starfire I think you should talk to Storm about this" Raven said
"I think I will" Starfire said
"Good Star, now come down for dinner" Raven said and I walked downstairs with her. The words still taunting me, But I want you to know that he still cares about you as his 'best friend' just not his 'girlfriend. Yea like I cared! I had no feelings for Storm anymore. I didn't like her even though she was my sister. How I wished I could had turned back time. But I couldn't. As I entered the kitchen, I gave Robin one of those looks again. Full of hurt, sorrow, and reject. And I knew he would never forget that look. I popped a piece of chewing gum in my mouth and chewed it slowly. I wasn't hungry. I wasn't hungry at all, but I knew I wanted to talk to Storm.
"Star, why are you still giving me that look?" Robin asked
"Who said you could call me Star? It's Starfire from now on to all of you and even you Storm" I said and I was happy with myself. Knowing I did something that might help me in the future.
"Come on Star, I still think about you as my best friend" Robin said
"I'm not you're friend anymore Robin, and you are nothing to me. You will only think of me as a teammate and that's all" I said and pop my chewing gum. I walked back upstairs. I knew Raven was going to hate me for that, she wanted me to come down for dinner and I had not. I decided to walked back downstairs. I grabbed my coat.
"I'm going out" I said
"Do you want me to come Starfire?" Storm asked and I shook my head.
"I don't want to talk to anybody" I said and Raven gave me a look.
"You can come Storm" I said and sighed. Storm grabbed her coat and ran to catch up with me.
"What's up with you Starfire?" Storm asked
"You" I said simply.
"What do you mean?" Storm questioned
"Storm, you totally took my life away and in a few weeks I'm returning to Tamaranian" I said
"You can't just do that? I mean what about your friends?" Storm asked
"My friends? They won't notice me gone. Anyways they have you" I said and Storm shook her head.
"I can't have you be unhappy you're still my best friend Starfire" Storm said
"Well you're not my favorite person right now Storm" I said
"I respect that Starfire" Storm said
"Good because you should" I said and walked faster.
"Starfire, can't you forgive me?" Storm asked and I shook my head.
"No"
"Please Starfire, Robin just wants you to be happy and I know you just want him to be happy and he's happy with me" Storm said
"Like I care Storm" I said and Storm looked at me.
"You're he's best friend Starfire, and I could never replace that. I'm just his girlfriend" Storm said
"I don't care, he's not my best friend. My best friend is Raven now" I said
"I forgot to tell you Starfire, we're going to get well married" Storm said and fiddled with her hair. My eyes widened.
"You're only like seventeen and fifteen! How could you get married?" I yelled
"We're in love though, and that means everything anyways you're suppose to be married and you're seventeen!!" Storm said
"I can't believe you guys" I said
"You better believe it because you're going to be my maid of honor!!" Storm said and I shook my head.
"I don't want to be your stupid maid of honor" I said and I ran back to the T tower tears stinging my eyes. I opened the door and rushed in. I stopped and looked at all my friends.
"Starfire what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked
"Noting is wrong everything is wonderful these are tears of joy" I said and ran upstairs. Raven ran after me. She knocked on my door.
"I'm not really in the mood for talking right now" I said
"Starfire, let me in" Raven said and I let her in. She sat down on my bed.
"What happened Starfire?" Raven asked
"Storm and Robin are to be married and Storm wants me as her maid of honor!!" I said and Raven gasped.
"Oh and Raven you can call me Star if you want" I said and Raven nodded.
"Star, shouldn't you be happy for your sister?" Raven asked
"How can I be happy? She took away everything I once had" I said
"I know, but Robin's happy" Raven said
"You're suppose to be on my side Raven" I said and turned away from her. Raven didn't speak.
"I'm sorry Star, but Robin's in love, and I think you should be happy for him" Raven said
"I am happy for him, but then again I don't want to be happy for them. I want them to break up" I said
"But then Storm would just feel the same way as you and I don't think you would want that for her" Raven said
"I know I wouldn't, but that would teach her a lesson" I said and smiled. I seemed like I was joking.
"Come on, go and tell her" Raven said
"Fine, and thanks Raven. You really helped me" I said and Raven smiled slightly. That was the first time I saw her smile.
"It was nothing Star" Raven said and I left the room. I walked downstairs knowing I could do this. I saw Storm and Robin together and tears came down my face. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't. Somebody placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Raven. I saw everything flash in front of my eyes. Being with Robin, Storm coming. Raven helping me. Storm and mine's talk. Everything. Being happy, being sad, and being mad.
"Raven, I can't do it, Robin was my only love and I just can't go through seeing him getting married to my sister" I said and Raven nodded.
"If that's what you want" Raven said
"Thanks for understanding Raven" I said and walked away from her. I knew I couldn't do it, but why was I so certain that I could? I walked into my room where me and Robin had shared a night together. Knowing I had to leave. I just interfered with my sisters life. I hated Storm, but I still smiled for her. I hated Robin, but I still smiled for him too. I would be there for the wedding, but right after I would say my good-byes to everybody. I didn't want them to think they weren't my friends. They were my best friends, well maybe not Robin or Storm. I had mixed feelings. It was all inside me though, nobody knew what I thought did they? I wouldn't say good-bye to Robin or Storm, they would jut have to figure out themselves that I was gone. Robin will always be in my heart, but he just won't be a part of my life..... I had wished so many times I could go back in time and make sure I didn't bring Storm to dinner with us. I longed to be happy. But I knew I wasn't happy. If I got another guy I knew in the inside I wasn't happy. I threw myself on my bed crying. I got up and wiped my tears away from my eyes. I got my suitcase and threw everything that I had brought to earth into my bag. Pictures, clothing, everything. I opened my diary. I read my first entry since Robin and I had been a couple.
Dear Diary, April 15, 2004
I must be the luckiest girl on earth. Because me and Robin just hooked up. I am so happy!! Noting can bring me down. Last night me and Robin went to the movies. Today Storm arrived and I am happy! She is the only sister that I have that likes me. Because Blackfire doesn't like my anymore. Storm is wonderful to me! Tonight I am brining her to dinner with me and Robin. I have to go to get ready! I will write soon!!
Love,
Starfire
I looked at the entry again. I picked up my favorite pen and started to write.
Dear Diary,
I am sorry to say that Storm has broken my life apart in little pieces. She has my boyfriend and my friends. I am leaving right after Storm and Robin's wedding. Oh did I tell you their getting married? I am not going to say good-bye to them. I am not the luckiest girl on earth. Storm. This will be my last entry on earth. I will be flying home soon. Mother and Father will probably have somebody for me to marry anyways. I am not worried. I am just deeply hurt. Robin is not my best friend, Raven is. She has helped me through everything. I will thank her in a note. I don't know should I tell my friends I'm leaving? I shouldn't. I must go buy a dress for the wedding. Good-bye earth, good-bye life......
Love,
Starfire
I closed my diary and pushed it into my suitcase. I walked downstairs with my purse in my hands. I grabbed my coat and walked out the door. The others looked at me, but didn't say anything. I walked into a store and looked at all the dresses. Storm came walking in after me.
"Storm what are you doing here?" I asked
"Oh Starfire, are you going to be my maid of honor or not?" Storm asked and I shook my head.
"I am not going to be your maid of honor Storm, I could never be and I don't want to be" I said simply and Storm looked mad. I didn't care though. Then it started to lighting before the sun came out.
"Control your emotions Storm" I said and picked out a beautiful white dress. It was sleeveless, with white gloves, and a blue satin lace around the waist.
"I'll be there though Storm" I said and Storm smiled.
"Thanks Starfire" Storm said
"You're lucky I'm even coming" I said and Storm nodded. I bought the dress and walked out the store without Storm. I went back to the T tower wondering if I should really go. Could I bear to watch the guy I loved getting married to another? Well I think I should go because I said I already would. Raven was waiting in my room. I was glad I hid the suitcase.
"Hey Raven, what's up?" I asked and placed the dress on my bed.
"Oh nothing, are you coming to the wedding Star?" Raven asked
"Yea I'm coming, just I'm not going to be the maid of honor" I said and smiled slightly.
"I'm glad you're coming, oh and Beast Boy and Cyborg came to talk to you" Raven said and Cyborg and Beast Boy pooped out of nowhere.
'What's up guys?" I asked
"Are you sure you want to go through this Starfire?" Beast Boy asked and I nodded.
"I'm happy for them in my own way" I lied
"We just want you to be happy Starfire" Cyborg said and I smiled a fake smile. I had gotten the hang of fake smiles. Since I was doing them a lot.
"You guys can call me Star and I am happy" I lied again.
"We know you're lying Star, we can see it in your eyes" Raven said and I turned away from all of them.
"So I'm not happy, but that doesn't mean any of you should be happy!!" I said and the others turned me around.
"Starfire, we want you to be happy" Beast Boy said
"Do not worry friends, I will be happy. Now when's the wedding?" I questioned and the others looked at me.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Cyborg asked and I nodded.
"Tomorrow" Raven simply said
"Tomorrow? I can't be ready by tomorrow! They decided to tell me a day before the wedding? I can't believe them!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was totally stressed out.
"Star, they just didn't want to hurt you" Beast Boy said
"Oh they have no clue how bad they've hurt me!!" I said and I threw myself against the wall.
"STAR!!" the other three yelled as I saw everything fading. I didn't know why I wanted to hurt myself, but it just made me feel happier for some reason. Everything was fading. My three true friends, my room, and the wall. I blacked out before I could say anything to them. When I woke up, I was on my bed in my room. Raven was sitting by my bed waiting for me to wake up. I sat up slowly and thought what happened? What was I doing here and why was I asleep for so long. I poked at Raven until she woke up.
"Star, you're awake" Raven said and stood up.
"What happened friend Raven?" I questioned and Raven helped me get up.
"You threw yourself at the wall pretty hard, we thought you went into a coma, but you've only been asleep a couple hours" Raven said
"I am still a little tried, where are the others?" I asked and Raven shrugged.
"They left an hour after you passed out" Raven said
"Oh"
"So, do you want me to leave or do you want to go out with everybody?" Raven asked and I stood there blankly for a moment.
"I think I will go out with everybody, did you tell Robin or Storm about this?" I asked and Raven shook her head.
"No way they would had totally freaked out" Raven said and I agreed.
"Storm is very over protected" I said and decided that it wasn't too bad that my sister was getting married, or was it? "Everything is not what is seems" I had read that quote a couple of days ago. Was my sister all that she seemed? Was Robin all that he seemed? I was starting to doubt that I had even loved Robin when he was a traitor. Raven looked at me and probably was wondering what I was thinking about, but I simply smiled and said nothing.
"I'm sorry, just sort of thinking about stuff, you know how it is" I said and Raven nodded. She walked slowly out of the room without a word to me. I didn't know what was up with her. I walked out after her, but she had disappeared. I turned to walk back into my room. I wondered where Raven had gone. Before I walked into my room, I thought if I should go out and make sure everybody knows I was okay. I turned around and walked down the stairs where Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing their game. I walked over and sat down and they stopped playing.
"Glad you're a awake Star" Beast Boy said and I smiled slightly at him.
"Do you know where friend Raven is?" I asked and they both shook their heads.
"Last time I saw her she was at the side of your bed" Cyborg said and I nodded.
"I will be going out" I said and the two boys stopped me.
"Then we'll have to go with you, so you don't pass out again" Cyborg said and I sighed and agreed. We walked out of the door where the moon was coming out. I had no idea what time it was, but I was guessing it was around five o'clock.
"So where are we going?" Beast Boy asked
"To the mall, I got to get stuff for the wedding" I said and the two boys looked at each other.
"Star, shouldn't you be mad about it?" Beast Boy asked and I nodded.
"I am mad, but that doesn't mean I should destroy Storm's wedding should I?" I asked and they both shrugged.
"I do not wish to ruin Storm's dreams" I lied
"Well.... Maybe I do want to" I whispered to myself so the others could not hear.
"You guys go, I have to do girl stuff alone" I said and they nodded. They walked away from me. I was mad and I did want to ruin the wedding right? Right? I thought I did, but something was stopping me. My heart...... I really did want to hate Storm and Robin. Then why wasn't I? Why was I going to their wedding if I hate them? I sank to my knees and after all the stress that was put on me, I passed out.........
Okay, I hope you liked it, so can you please please review? Sorry for the long wait, but it took me a long time to write this chapter!! Enjoy!!
