Okay, this take place mostly during things change, I never say her name in the chapter but this is Annie's POV. Who is Annie? Read ad find out. BB POV will be next. I don't really like this chapter, but it is a very important one.
My life is perfect.
At least it was. Everyone knows who the teen titans are, everybody! They have saved our butts so many times it's not even funny, but I never thought I would be stalked by one of the members! Honestly, he brought up too many things in the past that I just want to forget. And I was this close to forgetting too! I still remember the day. It was beautiful, sun shining, birds singing, people smiling. I saw him across the street, but I paid no mind. My friends came up to me, they were freaking out!
"OH MY GOD! LOOK! Is that Beastboy?" Jessie shrieked.
"You know I was doing some research on him the other night, and I found out that his real name is Garfield!" My friend Stephanie added.
"Guys, calm down, he's probably-" I stopped right in the middle of my sentence, once I heard the boy speak.
"Hey Terra!"
Well that ruined a perfectly good day. I know I look a little like Terra, but we weren't twins or anything… right? Luckily my friends knew my relationship with her, so we played dumb. Just walking off shrugging our shoulders, and if there was any mercy in the world, he would not be talking to me… OR Terra. But of course, these things never turn out the way I want them too, nope. He ran after me and my friends… crap. He stopped right in front of us and stuck his hand up in the air in a wave. He seemed so… happy, happy to see me or Terra as he thought. I couldn't help but stare at him with confusion, that same giddy face. I just couldn't believe it, why would a teen titan of all people be HAPPY to see her? All I could say was
"Sorry, you've got the wrong girl," it crushed his heart. I could see it in his eyes. I felt so bad for him. He kept on persuading me that I remembered that I had to know. Honestly I had no idea what he was talking about. I knew he was talking about Terra, that's all. And I know I should have told him that I was her sister, but, I wanted to know. I never felt like I knew my sister, and up till now, I didn't think that was a particularly a bad thing. This is actually how the conversation went.
"You don't remember me?"
"Should I?"
"I'm Beastboy," He paused a little and I felt like rolling my eyes, honestly, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew who he was. "We used to hang out together. You thought I was funny!" He gave me a cute smile, and I laughed a little bit out off sympathy, but it did not take my mind off the one person he was talking about or in this case to.
"See I can still make you laugh." Still? He made her laugh? She actually had… a friend?
"Like I said, you've got the wrong girl," I began to walk off, I didn't want to though. I wanted to know more about… Terra. I hated her guts, but she is family.
"Maybe if we just talked, then you'll remember," Oh yea I remember plenty buddy. So many thoughts about her were going through my head, I felt like crying.
"I've got to go,"
"Just one pizza? I'm buying, what have you got to lose?" His hand was on my shoulder, and it just seemed like he was dragging my past back to me, I got distracted when my friends basically put up a fortress around me. It was like all his hope was gone in that one rejection. So what the heck? I asked myself silently, I do want to know more about her, and maybe I could really learn something.
"Maybe one slice," My friends seemed traumatized as the green teen pulled me by the arm, taking me toward the nearest pizza place that apparently is my favorite. It was nice at first. He took me out and began talking to me about his latest mission. It must be so exciting being a Teen Titan. It's times like this where I wish I was born like my sister… maybe not. Beastboy made me laugh… a lot. It was literally the perfect evening until…
"You haven't changed a bit Terra," He looked at me with giddy eyes. I am like Terra? That made me sink inside.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" The names going through my head are not allowed on these kinds of stories, actually, I forgot that I was pretending to be Terra for a little bit and got agitated with him calling me that.
"Because you are Terra,"
"What makes you so sure?" Honestly, if they were really this close, wouldn't he have figured out by now that I am not Terra!
"You look like her, you talk like her, you laugh like her!" My heart sank, I'm like Terra? I had been working hard for so many years to not be like her and now I find out that I am basically her clone? "Don't you remember anything from before?" This was it, I scared me a little but this was the time, I needed to find out more about her!
"I just remember high school," I'm in high school, why did I say that? He's probably suspicious now.
"You used to live in the desert before joining the teen titans," she was a part of the teen titans? I knew she was his friend, but Terra, my sister Terra… was actually, a good guy? He continued. "You couldn't control your powers at first, Slade helped you." This I knew, she went with Slade for no reason at all and attacked the city, she was always ruining things. Wait, did he say she couldn't control her powers? "…And you wanted to take over the city, but in the end you couldn't go through with it, and you saved us all." She, she saved them? I thought that once Slade was killed Terra ran away from the law, but she actually, sacrificed herself… to save them? I had to ask,
"Why would you want to be friends with someone who was so much trouble?"
"Because I know who she really is!" Do I? This was horrible, I shouldn't be playing with his heart like this, I just need to get out. Oh crap it was five o'clock; I had to get home to do my homework. But of course,
"You can use the computer at the tower be done in half the time." How I supposed to say no to that? I went back to titans' tower, which has always been a secret dream of mine. IT WAS AMAZING! The only good thing that happened in this whole situation was the fact that I got to go into titans' tower!! I am soooooooo bragging to my friends about this tomorrow. I also hoped that the other titans would be there but they were not. I guess that could be considered a good thing because they might catch on to who I really was.
"Come on, I'll show you your room!" Beastboy grabbed my hand and ran upstairs. She had… a room? When we got there I looked around to see it completely portrayed her personality. The earth, the outside the stars. Of course I did not like it, I hate the outside, there are so many bugs. I don't know how she even survived out in the desert on her own. Something caught my eye. It was a beautiful heart-shaped box; I picked it up and opened it up. There was a mirror inside, I really did look like Terra, but there was no way on this earth I was like her, which made me wonder…
"I made that for you," Beastboy said. Now it made sense. I didn't need to act like Terra. He loved her, after I heard the way he talked about her, what he had done for her, what he had made for her. He wanted her back so badly, that he was completely oblivious to the fact I was remotely different to the girl he once knew.
"It's cute,"
It took me and hour to finish my homework and throughout the entire time Beastboy would remind me of little things about me, or her. I never knew these things. They first met after she defeated a giant scorpion. She had been with the titans for six months. I mean, she had friends, a home, and a great life. Why didn't she try and find me? But more importantly, why would she thrown it all away? I guess I never really knew her.
After a little while I finished up and headed out the door, I was waiting for Beastboy to take me over the island.
"I'm sure your friend is out there somewhere, I hope you find her." I really hope you do.
"I already have." His made me feel guilty, I shouldn't be pretending like this. I should just tell him so he can really pursue the real Terra.
"Beastboy-"
He cut me off. "Come on, you've got to remember, something! Anything!" I shook my head. I felt paralyzed. I tried opening my mouth, but what trouble would that get me in? I was already in too deep. I hate myself.
"You can move the earth!" His words cut my thoughts sharply. I looked up at him; he had some mud in his hand and threw it directly at my face. I think I deserved that, but I was still furious.
"Why did you do that?!" I ran around to the other side of the building realizing I had no where else to go, I couldn't swim across, and I obviously had no powers with me. HE came around and apologized and I just rolled my eyes so he took above the water and set me down and tried to apologize again but I just ran off.
The next day was horrible. Sure all my friends were super jealous that I had gone into titans' tower with out them, but being stalked by Beastboy is a price I would have preferred not to pay. I had so many chances to tell him!
"Terra wait!" the halls were empty, we were the only ones there.
"WHAT?!?!" I snapped back.
"You keep thinking you can avoid me! But I know who you really are! Please Terra!"
"Beastboy…" My voice softened.
"Terra."
"Listen… I'm not who you think I am."
"Yes I do! You are Terra! A teen titan, a true friend." He chocked a little on those words. "You don't understand, when I saw you, I thought my head was going to explode with happiness. I loved… love you Terra! And the things you are saying to me right now hurt more then you could ever imagine."
"Beastboy! I AM NOT TERRA!"
"Why can't things go back to the way they were?"
"Listen, I'm not a superhero, I'm not out to save the world, that's who you are!"
"But…"
"I'm just a girl with a geometry test next period and I haven't studied." I disappeared into the crowd, tears forming in my eyes. Please say he got the message. I couldn't go on like this. For the rest of the day I was completely distracted. I kept looking out of the window, just thinking. He stopped following me for the next few days but I still didn't feel better. Mostly when I watched the news, there was one titan missing from the group. I sighed and clicked off the TV. On the bright side, I would get to meet the rest of the titans.
PLEASE REVIEW!
