Chapter 8: I love you

Deadstar woke up with an evil smile on her face. She didn't remember anything from last night but she didn't care. Dead had the sudden urge to go out and piss off the Titans. She quickly got out of bed and got dressed in her outfit. After that she headed for Slade's office. When she arrived she saw him there at his desk looking at the monitor.

"What's wrong Deadstar?" he asked her

"I was wondering if there would be another mission for me. I have this sudden urge to piss off Boy Blunder" she said with a smirk

"Ahh. I see" he said as he put his hands together. "I was going to tell you soon but I guess I could tell you now. The Titans have something that I want. It is a sword which has the power to take over Earth. I want it. It is your mission to go there tomorrow night and steal it. Make sure that you dispose those who step in your way" he told her with his smirk. She slowly nodded her head a yes and got out of there. She was about to enter her room when someone grabbed her by the arm and yanked her in a room. When she looked up she saw Red X there looking down at her.

"Hey Dead. Listen get dressed and meet me outside in ten minutes" he told her

"Why?" she asked him

"Well I have entered you in a contest" he told her

"What type of contest?" she asked him not sure she wanted to know the answer

"It's a singing contest" he told her

"What? Why in the hell did you enter me?" she shrieked

"Well I knew you would say no but I wanted you to sing. Please, please, please it would make me really happy" he told her

"Fine I'll do it but why did you want to do this?" she asked him

"Well there is this guy and he said that his girl is better then mine so I told him let's compete on it" he told her

"You're girl?" she asked him

"Well you see here I kinda said that you where my girlfriend" he told her as he avoided her gaze. He waited for a yell, a punch a kick something but not what she did next.

"Kk. I'll go and get ready boyfriend. See ya in a few" she said with an evil smirk on her face as she kissed him on the cheek and left leaving him open mouthed. She quickly headed to her room and got a shower, got dressed and headed outside. When he saw her his jaw dropped. She had tight black fitting jeans that showed off her curves, a red shirt that showed her pierced belly button and white flip flops. "Come on boyfriend. I have the sudden urge to sing" she told him as she walked over to his car and climbed in. Once he was over the shook he got into the car and drove to where they had to go.

After half an hour they arrived at the beach. They saw a huge park on the middle and people talking all around. They slowly got out of the car and made their way over to the people.

"Okay that guy over there is the one I told you about. Pretend that your… your…" he said but was cut off by Dead

"Girlfriend. Ok if you want it to seem like I'm your girl get your hand around my waist" she told him as she grabbed his arm and put it around her waist. When he saw where it was his cheeks gave off a light pink colour.

"Hey look who's here" said the guy "I see this is your girl. She ain't that bad" he said. When Red heard what he said he tightened his grip on Dead.

"Can't say the same for you though" Dead said with a smirk.

"Kory this is Jason. Jason this is my girlfriend Kory Anders" Red told them

"Nice meeting you. This here is my girlfriend" he said as he showed them a blond girl from behind him. The first thought that came over Dead when she saw her was Bitch. She was wearing a very short miniskirt with a red Tank top that was too small for her.

"Hi. So this is the girl I'm competing with? She doesn't look like she can sing" she asked as she glared at Kory

"Well let me show you what I'm made off bitch. See ya" Kory said as she made her way over to the sea followed by a smirking Xavier. They spend hours talking and dancing until it was nine o'clock and Kory had to perform.

"Hey guys. Today there will be three teens competing. The first one up is Richard Grayson" yelled a buff guy. When Kory looked up her jaw dropped. She saw Robin making his way over to the stage.

"Hi. My name is Richard and this is my first time singing. This song is called Just wanna be with you and is dedicated to a very special person to me." he said as he looked over at Kory while singing

Monday night, and I feel so low,
I count the hours, but they go so slow.
I know the sound of your voice, can save my soul.
City lights, the streets are gold.
Looked down my window to the world below.
Move so fast, but it feels so cold
And I am all alone,
Don't let me die, I'm losing my mind,
Baby, just give me a sign.

And now that you're gone,
I just wanna be with you.
(Be with you)
And I can't go on, I wanna be with you.
Wanna be with you...

I can't sleep, I'm up all night.
Through these tears, I try to smile.
I know, the touch of your hand, can save my life.
But don't let me down, come to me now,
I got to be with you some how.

And now that you're gone,
I just wanna be with you.
(Be with you)
And I can't go on, I wanna be with you.
(Be with you)
Wanna be with you.

Don't let me down,
Come to me now.
I got to be with you some how.
And now that you're gone,
Who am I without you now?

I can't go on, I just wanna be with you.
And now that you're gone,
I just wanna be with you.
(Be with you)
And I can't go on,
I wanna be with you...
(Be with you)
Wanna be with you...

(Now that you're gone)
Just wanna be with you...
And I can't go on,
I wanna be with you.
Oh...
Just wanna be with you, just wanna be with you. (Fade)

When he finished singing everyone was cheering for him. Kory was left open mouthed because he had a wonderful voice. "Kk. That was Richard and next up is Kory Anderson" he said as Kory made her way over to the stage.

"Hey guys. This song is called I hate myself for loosing you" she said as she started to sing

Iwoke up today
Woke up wide awake
In an empty bed
Staring at an empty room
I have myself to blame
For the state I'm in today
And now dying
Doesn't seem so cruel
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway
Anymore

I hate myself for losing you
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

You got what you deserved
Hope you're happy now
'Cause every time I think of her with you
It's killing me
Inside, and
Now I dread each day
Knowing that I can't be saved
From the loneliness
Of living without you
And, oh
I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew

I hate myself for losing you
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

I hate myself for losing you
And oh, I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway
Anymore
No, no

I hate myself for losing you
(I'm seeing it all so clear)
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?
What do you say when everything's said?
Is the reason why he left you in the end?
How do you cry when every tear you shed
Won't ever bring him back again?
I hate myself for loving you

When she finished singing the crowd where also cheering. She quickly got off the stage and walked over to Xavier. The next singer was the blond bitch. After she finished singing which wasn't that good they had to decide who won.

"Okay everyone. Who thinks Richard should win?" he yelled. Everyone started yelling madly

"Okay who wants Stacy to win?" he asked. A few cheers where heard

"Okay who wants Kory to win" he yelled as the crown yelled madly. "Guess there is a tie. Kory and Richard now have to sing a song together. If they don't then the winning price goes to Stacy" he said

"I am not going to sing with him" she said to Xavier

"Please Kory." He begged

"Fine" she said with a sigh as she got back onto the stage the same time Richard did.

"You guys will sing a song Richard wrote" the man said.

"I wrote this a few days ago. It's called Hate that I love you" he said into the mic. Kory looked at the screen and saw the lyrics.

"Okay better keep up Dick" she said with a smirk

"Was gonna say the same thing hun" he told her as the music started playing

Richard
Yeaah,
Heyy, heyy.

[Kory
That's how much I love you (yeah),
That's how much I need you (yeah, yeah, yeah),
And I can't stand you,
Must everything you do make me wanna smile,
And then I like you for a while.

[Both
No!

[Richard
But you won't let me,
You upset me girl and then you kiss my lips,
All of a sudden I forget that I was upset,
Can't remember what you did.

[Both
But I hate it!

[Kory
You know exactly what to do,
So that I can't stay mad at you for too long,
That's wrong.

[Both
But I hate it!

[Richard
You know exactly how to touch,
So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more,
Said I despise that I adore you.

[Kory
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah),
I can't stand how much I need you (I need you),
And I hate how much (yeah) I love you boy (ohh),
But I just can't let you go,
And I hate that I love you so.

[Richard
Ooh,
And you completely know the power that you have (the power that you have),
The only one that makes me laugh.

[Kory
Sad and it's not fair,
How you take advantage of the fact that I (I),
Love you beyond a reason why (whyyy),
And it just ain't right.

[Richard
And I hate how much I love you girl,
I can't stand how much I need you (heyy yeah),
And I hate how much I love you girl,
But I just can't let you go,
And I hate that I love you so.

[Both
One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me,
And your kiss will make me weak,
But no one in this world,
Knows me the way you know me,
So you'll probably always have a spell on me-eee.

[Richard
Yeahhhhh,
Ohhhh ohhh,
Oh, yeah.

[Kory
It's how much I love you (much I need you),
It's how much I need you (oooh),
It's how much I love you (ohh),
It's how much I need you.

[Both
And I hate that I love you,
Sooooo!

[Kory
And I hate how much I love you boy,
I can't (heeey!) stand how much I (can't stand how much I need you) need you,
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeeah ohh),
But I just can't let you go (but I just can't let you, no),
And I hate that I love you so.

[Both
And I hate that I love you so, so-ooo.

When they finished singing they looked at each other and smiled. "Nice voice" he told her

"I know. You too" she told him as she walked off the stage.

"Star wait" he yelled as he ran over to her. He grabbed her arm so that she wouldn't leave and made her face him. "Please come back" he pleaded

"Robin I… I can't. I won't. I belong with Slade and Red X" she told him as she looked away. When he heard he made her look at him. Once she looked at him he crashed his lips onto hers. At first she stiffened but then she relaxed into the kiss. She felt his lips grace gently onto her lower lip begging for entrance. Star slowly opened her mouth and let his tongue enter. They kissed passionately until the need of air came over them. When she opened her face she came face to face with a happy Robin.

"I love you" she said but when she realized what she said she put her hands on her mouth. "I…I have to go" she said as she ran away from him. I can't love him. I have to destroy him. She thought mentally as a tear fell down her cheek. She saw Red X following her so she quickly took off into the air and flew to the one place she could always clear her mind. The Roof.
