Because of You

Because of You

Thank you for all the reviews. Although not much. Please people give me reviews!

Robin was pounding around his room. He was so angry. Why did Raven have to leave. Once he found her, he was going to give her such a beating. He was throwing things out of place making his room messier then Beast Boy's. Unbelievable right?

Cyborg was in the kitchen making waffles. Raven's favorite. He was so crushed about her leaving. He was making waffles for the twentieth time. He already had over 100 waffles. He was crying so much too. All his tears fell into the waffles making them taste terrible.

Starfire never made her tamarainian food. She never smiled. She hardly even spoke. Raven leaving was the hardest thing she ever had to deal with. She no longer flew around the tower. She walked. She cried in her room every night.

Beast Boy never made a joke. Or fought with Cyborg over the breakfast. Not like he made it anymore. Beast Boy always sat on the couch doing nothing. Just looking out into nothing. He missed Raven telling him to shut up. So he decided that until she returned, that's what he would do.

All the titans were taking Raven's leaving hard. But in different ways. And Robin wasn't all too sad about it. He was the only one who was angry. Well furious is more like it. He never spoke of it. None of them did. But a bind man could see that he was furious about it.

"Hey guys, why don't we go to the new club that opened on 24th St.?"Cyborg suggested."It will take our minds off of things. We can invite Titans East too."

"OK."Beast Boy said. Starfire nodded. When they told Robin he agreed.

...Across town...

Raven was at the newly constructed club in the city and was practicing for opening night. Ryan was the there too. He was the bar tender and he was surprised to see that Raven was the new singer there. Yes, there were other singers but Raven was the head liner.

After practice Ryan and Raven went home. They were hand in hand and Raven was actually smiling for the first time in awhile. She was happy. She wanted nothing but happy. But she knew that she would confront her past sooner or later. What she didn't know, that it would be sooner rather then later.

When Ryan and Raen reached the apartment Raven turned and looked at Ryan. She took his hands and kissed him lightly on the lips. When Raven's lips left his own he was absolute shock. He thought Raven wasn't ready for a relationship.

"I thought you too afraid for a relationship with me."

"It's time I moved on. I can't live in fear my whole life. Sometimes, I just gotta take a chance."Raven explained.

Ryan smiled at her and kissed her tenderly. Raven kissed back with passion. When they parted Ryan held Raven in his arms on the couch. They sat there until the time when they would have to leave. Ryan had so much anger in himself for what Robin did. When he had the chance he would get revenge for Raven.

...That Night...

Raven was in the dressing room preparing for her performance on stage. Ryan was behind the bar counter serving people their drinks. This club was a formal event and only high class residents of the city were allowed in with a reservation. Except on Teen week. It was every other week. And on the weeks that weren't Teen week, it for high class residents.

The titans finally arrived and were seated at the tables set out. Soon after everyone was seated and the show was about to start. The curtains opened to A woman singing "Listen to your heart."After she was done the audience clapped. Then more girls sang and soon cam time for Raven to sing.

Raven stepped out on the stage in a purple sequin dress. It reached her feet that donned matching heels. The dress fit her curves perfectly. It flowed around her legs as she walked on stage. And the two straps were drawn to one shoulder and was beautiful on her. Her hair was down and her bangs were curved outward and she froze for a few seconds when she saw the tians. And vice versa. Ryan watched Raven's eyes and saw the titans as well.

Raven:

I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself

Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did,

You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake

A smile, a laugh everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

Raven then looked to her left as Ryan appeared singing with her.

Ryan:

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

(I watched you die...)[Raven

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

(I was too young for you to lean on me...)[Raven

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

(You never saw me...)[Raven

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing

Raven:

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

Raven ended standing in front of Robin. All the titans and the rest of the room was looking at Raven. Robin was in shock. There was Raven. Standing in front of him. He was about to say something when she spoke first.

"Didn't expect to see me did you?Well I didn't expect to see you either. I left for a reason. I left cause you raped me."Raven said. And when she said her last sentence, the whole room gasped in shock.

"You terrified to me to a point where I couldn't feel love for another person. But now I'm not letting you hold me back. "Raven continued.

"Raven you're hysterical. I never raped you."Robin lied.

"Yes you did. Why would I lie? Especially about something this serious?"Raven questioned.

Robin was silent. And police officers began surrounding the tables.

"Robin your under arrest for the rape of Raven Roth. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."the officer said taking him into custody.

"Raven I'm so sorry."The titans said to her. She sighed and watched Robin leave. And Ryan finished the last part of the song. He thought it was nessiscary.

Because of you...
