Ok I am done.
Here Be Da Story.
"Hmm?" Raven mumbled from Gar's shoulder, which she was currently leaning on due to Gar plunging into a hug because of his recently mutilated car.
"You just turned nineteen yesterday. Your hair is purple, but it's naturally like that. Your last name is Roth. Your mom died when you were younger." Raven's eyes went wide in shock, "And your dad a . . . hurts you. How could I forget you?" Raven pulled out of the hug that they were in and she placed her hands on his shoulders.
"Gar, I thought you didn't remember me?" Raven asked in confusion. Though she was overjoyed that he really did remember her, she still wondered what was with the sudden change.
"Your hair. The lavender sent of your hair made me remember. Your sent, I could never forget your sent in a million years, Rae. Besides, love conquers all right?" It was cheesy, true, but that didn't matter to Raven. Gar smiled and brought Raven into a passionate kiss. Her hands were gracefully set around his neck and his were on her lower back and the center of her back. Both had their eyes closed and didn't notice that their three friends were standing at the door along with Mr. and Mrs. Logan. Outside they were all giggling, but in the small room, Raven and Gar were completely oblivious.
When they were FINALLY done making out, the breathed heavy breaths with smiles upon their faces. They couldn't be happier, ok they could be considering Gar was basically attached to the bed and there was still one thing Gar didn't know. "What about Malchior?" was the short sentence Gar managed to speak after just breathing for a while. (A.N.- I am an idiot ok! If I had ever kissed someone, it would be easier to know how to write it down! Lol)
Raven looked down at the white sheets of the hospital bed. Slowly she lifted her head up to look Gar in the eyes. "Don't worry about him. I was hoping you forgot about him too. But I guess not. Just try to forget about him." That wasn't exactly the answer Gar was looking for, but it worked.
"Sheesh, you guys just can't keep your hands off of each other can you? I mean it's like you cant not kiss for more than 10 minutes. Who knows, if you don't make out EVERY FIVE SECONDS, the world might die!" laughed Victor as Richard, Kori, and he reentered the room.
"Friend Raven, that was most romantic!" Kori leaned closer so only Raven could hear, "How do I get friend Richard to kiss me in that way?" Raven gave her a funny look as if to say, 'You're kidding right?'
"Uh, ask him out?" she half asked. Gar flung an arm around Raven's shoulder groaning slightly from the pain in his shoulder. Gar hadn't done any major damage to himself, but his shoulders, neck, and back hurt a lot and the doctor said it would be unwise to run. HAHAHA! Gar? Running if he didn't have to? Ya right.
Kori clapped her hands. Kori grabbed Rich (A.N.- I didn't want to say Dick right there cause, well ya. I think you guys get the picture.) by the arm and whispered something in his ear and he nodded and smiled.
Then Dick went forward to Gar's bed where Gar and Raven sat. Happily, Gar smiled up at Dick and spoke, "What did she say? I saw it all! What did she say?" Victor was instantly right by his side urging him to tell them what Kori had said as Gar was.
"Come on man, tell us the story. Give us the details! What did she say?" Victor begged.
"If there was something private going on with one of you guys and a girl, ok Gar you don't count, but would you want to tell the whole world?" Raven asked in an almost lectureish voice.
Thought Raven said that Gar didn't count the two answered in unison, "YA!"
Raven and Dick rolled their eyes. "That is only cause you could never get a date Victor and Raven is the only one who is sorry enough for you to date you." Dick said mockingly. Raven shot a glare at Dick.
"I am not sorry for Garfield! Besides, it's not like you can chose who you love." Raven smirked at Gar as she said this. Noticing Gar's hurt expression Raven spoke again, "And I guess I really do love him anyways. I don't feel sorry for him. " He smiled and then kissed her on the cheek. She smiled a small smile and kissed him back on the lips.
"You two are sick," Victor commented. Raven, who did not like what he had said an awful lot, did something very cruel. Lets just say Victor was in a terrible amount of pain and left the room. Gar laughed as he watched his friend hop out of the room.
"Nice Raven." Dick spoke sarcastically.
"You wanna be next?" Dick's eyes went wide and he took Kori's wrist and the two left in quite a hurry. Gar smiled even wider, if possible, put his hands behind his head and lied back down on the bed. Raven looked down at his face. There were a few cuts from shards of glass hitting him, but for the most part his face was like a little kitten right after he was given some warm milk. Raven moved so she was sitting closer to his head so she could talk to him. "What are you thinking about?" She asked monotonously.
He reached a hand up and placed it on her cheek and smiled. His hand was colder than she was and it sent the shivers up and down her spine. She closed her eyes and put her hand over his. "You. I love you Rae. But I have a question." With her eyes still closed she raised her eyebrows. "What would you have done if I had died?" She opened her eyes and took her hand off of his. He let his hand fall down to her knee and slide to the bed.
"I don't know. I would probably become really depressed and isolate myself from everyone, of course Kori would never let that happen so, I would be in constant mourning on the inside while making a show for everyone around." She spoke looking him in the eye. "But you didn't die. You're here and that is where you are going to stay for a very long time." She ran a hand through his messy multicolored locks. His hair was soft, but kind of greasy, yet she didn't seem to mind.
While they were busy staring into each other's eyes, a doctor came in. "Hem." The doctor cleared his throat. They looked up toward him. "Mr. Logan you are going to have to stay here over night and Ms. Roth, visiting time is over. Please go home, you can visit your friend tomorrow." Gar slipped an arm around her neck. Bringing her down to him, quickly he kissed her then let go smiling with his eyes.
"Bye, Gar. I love you." Gar smiled a smile that said, 'I love you too.' Then Raven left the room. When she got home she was going to be so dead.
Richard's driver stopped about a block away from Raven's house. Since they had all waited for Raven, Richard offered that his driver take them all home. So he could spend time with Kori of course. "Thank you, Sir. Bye. Have a good night guys." Raven waved to her friends. She walked quickly down the sidewalk although she was not to eager to get home.
When she reached her house she slipped her key into the lock and soundlessly opened the door. Peering in and seeing nothing, Raven walked silently into the house. She shut the door and locked it behind her. When she turned around, her worst nightmare was there, her father. "Hi, daddy."
"You haven't been home for TWO DAYS!" he yelled in her face. "Where were you, weak pathetic daughter?"
"I was out." was all she said in reply. Raven didn't want to say much because then her father might lash out on her.
He drew his hand back and slapped her, and then he staggered backwards, as did Raven. When she saw him lose his balance she zipped past him and up the stairs to her room. She ran into her closet and shut the door. 'I should be safe in here, hopefully.'
Raven's father was wobbling around and he fell. He had drunk a little too much, fortunately for Raven. After a while, Raven emerged from her closet. She knew there was one place to stay that was safe. But the only person she knew could keep her safe was not there. She threw herself on the bed and rubbed the cheek that her father had slapped. It was the same cheek that Garfield had held in his hand earlier that day.
Raven heard tapping at her window. She had high hopes that it might be Gar, but she knew he was in the hospital. She was a little bit afraid now. Although, it could always be Victor, Dick, or Kori. She crawled across her bed to the window that was just close beside it. Looking out, she saw her second worst nightmare- Malchior. 'Why don't they leave me alone?' She opened the window and whisper yelled down to him, "What do you want you selfish jerk?"
"Oh sweet Raven you're so beautiful, but your words are as cold as ice. Why don't you love me? I can give you anything, the most that childish boy can give you is a hug, kiss and a smile. I can give you all the things you've ever dreamed of."
"But you can't give me true love. You can't give me anything Gar can give me. His love means so much more than anything you could ever do or give me. Besides, I don't even love you. Good night, Malchior." Raven shut the window and lied back down. Tomorrow was going to be long Raven could just cense it.
Raven woke up immediately Sunday morning and knew where she wanted to go. Apparently her friends had had the same idea. After Raven had showered and gotten dressed she left before her father woke up from his sleeping hangover. She walked out the front door and Dick's driver's car was in her driveway. She paused and raised a brow. 'Do they read minds or something?' Raven climbed in the car and sat next to Kori who was next to Dick who was next to Victor. Did I mention that this car is the closest thing to a limo that isn't a limo but is the next closest thing?
"Does anyone know what became of friend Garfield's car?" Kori asked after greeting her friend.
Raven sighed remembering his disappointment when she had told him that his car had been totaled. But hopefully Victor could fix it. "Ya, it's at Gar's house. The police delivered it there because the Logan's asked them to. Vic, do you think that you could fix it? I mean, only a window is out, and the windshield is a little bit damaged. And of course the drivers side of the car is gone, but could you fix it? Gar was so sad when he heard his car was totaled."
"I don't know Rae, I can try my best, but the paint job might get ruined, and I think that is why he is so sad about it." Victor replied.
"Master Grayson, we have arrived at the Jump City Hospital." The driver spoke so they could all hear.
"Thank you," they all said together. They all departed from the fancy car and into the hospital.
"We are here to visit with Garfield Logan." Dick said. "Do you know if he is awake yet?"
The nurse at the front counter rolled her eyes, "Yes! Do you know how to shut that boy up? H keeps going on about how his friends should be here and that the most beautiful girl in the world is his and OH MY GOODNESS HE WON'T SHUT UP! You can live with in there with him just make it shut up!" She practically yelled.
" . . . Ok thank you, I think." They all went to the room Gar was in and opened the door.
"HI! What took you guys so long? The TV here only has soap operas and news! BORING! I can't watch Teen Titans! How am I supposed to live!" Gar practically flew out of his bed when the walked in, except he was attached to the bed so he couldn't really get that far.
Raven placed and a gentle hand on his shoulder so it wouldn't hurt him, "Gar, I hate to break it to you," Gar's eyes went wide and he looked scared for his life, "You are nineteen, you should be able to live without Teen Titans for at least two days." She kissed his cheek as if to say hello after she finished her little talk. The rest laughed at what she had said and Gar just smiled cause he got a kiss.
"When are you released from the land of white cottony beds and ill people?" Kori asked. In return, she earned a few funny looks from the nurses in the room.
"I get to leave at twelve today, but I can't do anything because I hurt myself." Gar complained in a baby voice. "Did you all miss me?" He questioned sticking his nose in the air.
'He has no idea,' Raven thought remembering the night before. Gar sat up and crossed his legs Indian style and smiled at his friends.
"Indeed, friend Garfield, we all missed you very much. We are overjoyed that you are returning home and so is your family." Kori spoke happily.
"Ya man, how was your night? Are those beds even comfortable?" Vic wondered.
"It was great, I had a good dream, and no these beds aren't that comfortable." Gar stated.
The five heard talking outside the door and then someone opened the door. Gar put his white sheet over his head and lied back down as if he were dead and going to the morgue. The person who was at the door just so happened to be a tall blonde haired blue-eyed girl. It had always been funny to Gar how much taller Terra was than Raven. But for now Gar was dead and Terra didn't know it yet. "Gar, love, where are you?"
Raven realized what Gar was doing quicker than anyone else so she dug her nails into her hand and made herself cry. "He died. He died last night. A heart attack killed him. I miss him already." Raven cried. Under the sheet, Gar was having trouble not laughing.
"YOU'RE KIDDING! He was fine last night! I thought only old people got heart attacks? Oh Gar, . . . wait, he isn't dead, the sheet is moving up and down." Terra was actually smart for once in her life. Pulling the sheet off of Gar revealing his living body, Terra threw her arms around him. Raven had stopped her fake crying and now crossed her arms across her chest with a smirk on her face.
"Terra, no he isn't dead, but he wont be alive for very long if you crush him." Raven remarked intelligently. "You are so stupid." Gar mouthed a thank you at Raven and Terra released him.
"Baby, I am so glad you're ok!" Terra exclaimed. Kori, Dick, and Victor were all holding in their fits of laughter. Gar looked toward Raven with a look of panic on his face. Smiling, she just nodded and also held in her laughter.
"Right, don't call me baby. I have a girlfriend who, thank the Lord, doesn't happen to be you." Gar looked at the clock on the wall. Eleven fifty-five. 'Yes! I am out of here in five minutes!' Gar thought excitedly. "Terra could you leave, I need to um . . . uh . . ."
"Gar gets to leave in five minutes, Terra, he needs to get dressed," Raven said in a very factual tone. Saying this, Raven and everyone else left the room.
"I get to leave. I get to leave!" they could hear Gar's singing from outside. They all finally burst after Terra left. They couldn't hold their laughter anymore.
Gar slipped on the jeans that his mom and brought and a Green Day t-shirt. He burst out the door and ran to Raven. He lifted her under the shoulders and swung her around in a circle. He slowly came to a stop and let her back down to the floor. "I really wanted to do that. But it kind of hurt, but who cares!" Gar put his arms around Raven drawing her into a gentle hug.
"Hi. You realize tomorrow night is the play right?" Raven spoke softly into his ear.
"You're kidding? Have we really been practicing this for three months? Wow, ok that works though. I am so ready . . . well now that I think about it, it kind of stinks. Oh well." He whispered back. He kissed her lightly on the cheek and smiled.
Their three friends were once again holding back their laughter. "Hello friend Garfield. You are healed, yes?"
"Ya I am great, Kori. What happened to Terra? Did Raven scare her away?" Gar laughed as he put his arm around Raven's waist. Gracefully she laid her arm around his shoulders, making sure not to put her full arm weight on him. She knew he would be able to handle it, but she didn't want him to be in any more pain than he was.
"Well, I guess you could say that. When we all got out here Raven told her to stay away from you and that you were hers, which coming from Raven's mouth was kind of weird, and then she left. Ya." Dick was talking in an unusual voice that wasn't really like him. Kori must have said something he really liked or something.
"Ok . . . I'm yours. Cool," Gar smiled down at Raven. Raven poked him hard in the back. "Ah! That hurt, Rae," Gar winced in pain and grabbed his back, removing his arm from Raven's waist.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to poke you that hard, I kind of forgot about your back," apologized Raven quickly. Sorrow was in her eyes and he could see it. For the millionth time that day, he smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
"It's all good," Gar said. The two could never ever get in a fight, and if they did, it didn't last long.
Kori, Raven, Richard, Victor and Garfield all went to the Logan's house to hang out. And of course Gar's parents wanted to see him.
"Gar, Baby! My baby boy is home!" Mrs. Logan ran to him and threw her arms around him. "I love you Garfield. I am very happy to see you, honey." Gar hugged his mom back.
"I love you too mom," Gar was turning pink in the cheeks. He wasn't really embarrassed, just a little.
Gar greeted his dad as well, who happened to be watching football. "Hey dad, I'm home. Yay." (A.N.- sorry I just had to make him say "Yay")
"Hey son. Since when do you say 'Yay'? Are you feeling better?" Mr. Logan replied.
"Since just now, and I'm doing great, that is why I'm home!" Gar laughed at his dad's questioning of the unknown 'Yay'.
The five went to the kitchen to find some food. Gar didn't particularly like the non-vegetarian food at the hospital, so he just didn't eat while he was there.
"Real vegetarian food! Yes! Wee! I am so happy!" Gar jumped up and down excitedly. He was so happy to finally eat real fake food.
"Vegetarian food ain't even real, man," Victor corrected. "Hey, you guys got any waffles?" He asked searching through the fridge.
"Uh, check the freezer," Gar responded pulling a raw tofu-burger out of the large black fridge. Reaching up to the cabinet where the pans were, he grabbed a decent sized one and put it on the stovetop. He turned on the burner, he set his pan on the burner, and he stared at the flame under the burner. Oh, pretty colors they were.
Gar had this freakish urge to do something somewhat awkward. While Victor, Kori and Richard dug through the fridge searching for something non-vegetarian, Gar got Ravens attention. He pointed to his eye and she gave him a funny look. Then he made a heart with his fingers. (A.N.- you know the one that Sonny Moore made in that one picture, ok you probably don't even know who Sonny Moore is. Well he is the very hot lead singer of From First To Last. He Rocks! Anyways, onward) Then he pointed to Raven. Knowing exactly what he was doing, Raven then pointed to herself, made a heart with her fingers, pointed to Gar and held up two fingers. (A.N.- Gar: I ((heart)) you. Raven: I ((Heart)) you too) He smiled back at her.
When their three companions turned around, they were surprised to find that Gar and Raven weren't there, and neither was Gar's tofu-burger. 'Strange,' Dick thought.
'Ha ha! I know what's going on here." Vic Thought.
'My friends must never know how much I secretly love mustard.' Kori thought strange things, but hey, she thought. (A.N.- sorry I have been making many author notes, I will try to make this the last, I am not trying to make Kori look stupid! She rocks!)
"Smoothly, we escaped! Yes! Not that I don't love my friends, I just might happen too love someone else a little more!" Gar laughed as he spoke to Raven. The two had silently made their way up to Gar's room so they could be alone for a while. Gar slipped one hand behind Raven's head and played with her soft purple hair, the other hand went under her arm and around her back. Then he brought her close to him and he kissed her. He kissed her meaningfully and passionately. (A.N.- I apologize if I do too much kissing, last note ok?) Raven kissed back, closing her eyes and savoring the moment of nice alone time.
'It's so nice to get alone with Gar once and a while. He can be so serious, almost. But not quite.' She laughed in her mind at her own thoughts. Though, she knew every word of it were true. She left her hands in her own lap because she was afraid she might hurt his neck or back or something.
They slowly broke apart for the much needed air. But they didn't break very far apart. Gar just leaned his forehead back down onto hers breathing heavily. 'Oh, he must have eaten a breath mint before we came up here.' "So, what happened to my car exactly?" Gar asked in a more just wondering tone than the sad one he had portrayed earlier.
"The window on the drivers side is gone," she explained as calmly as a bunny as she pulled away, turned, and leaned on his chest, "The driver's side door is mangled, and there are cracks in the windshield. I'm really sorry about it, I know you worked really hard on that car."
"It's fine, it's not like you did the damage yourself. Where is my car? In the car graveyard? Here lies the car of Garfield Logan, He worked hours on it, and it just one day got run into and now it is dead. May it rest in peace," he spoke with a hint of sadness in his voice, but clearly was trying to make a joke out of it. Besides, material objects didn't hold a high place in Gar's heart.
"Lovely," she laughed, "but no, it's in the garage."
"Oh, Victor has it. Lets see, he will completely redo it so it is all black and yellow and paint a giant bubble bee on it wont he?" Gar joked running a smooth hand through Raven's purple locks.
"Nope. Wrong again. I meant in your parents' garage." Gar perked up at this.
"Really? Do you think it could be fixed?" He asked with a hopeful tone in his voice.
"You would have to ask Victor, I know nothing about cars," she responded almost sadly, but she was glad that Gar had hope.
"Sweet. Do you think we should go see if they emptied out the whole entire fridge? Actually, I have done that before. I ate everything in the fridge, and I burned all of the meat. Hehe!" Garfield was crazy sometimes, but that was ok to Raven. She loved everything about him.
There, personal record. I gave you a 4,168-word chapter, not counting my monologue or end dialogue! So HA! I hope you all liked it! I worked for three days on this. It was the long chapter for you all cause I haven't updated in a while! Rock On! DreamerGirl02
