This chapter was a little rushed. But I'm way more organised now. Next chapter will be better and include more characters.

Chapter 2
"Terra?"
"Yeah. I can't believe it's you. You look so different." She said looking him up and down.
"You do too. Prettier." She blushed.
Terra had changed a little over the years. She had a little bit more boob, just to the point where it is questionable as to whether or not she was flat chested. She cut her hair so that it reached her shoulders and pulled it back into a short braid letting a few strands of hair fall in her face. Her hips were still pretty narrow. She wore pink flats and a yellow noodle strap sun dress. She had on pink lip gloss that seemed to sparkle.
She saw him checking her out and sat down next to him smiling.
"So, I heard the Titans split up."
"Yeah. We thought it was time. We weren't teens anymore and Robin wanted to go out on his own, so we split."
"You're talking differently."
"Yeah, matured a little." He said smiling with a light pink tint to his cheeks.
She giggled and asked the question that made him want to break down and start crying.
"Is there anyone special in your life?" she said, secretly hoping that the answer was no.
"I don't know anymore." He said looking down, a tear falling from the corner of his eye.
She put her hand up and caressed the side of his face, lifting his head up.
"Whoever she is she's lucky to have you. You're amazing." She said smiling sadly at him. Though he couldn't see that because he was looking down, tears falling from his thin pale eyelashes.
He laughed bitterly. "Try telling her that."
She looked confused. Who wouldn't want him? He's sweet and loving, she looked down, and maybe if I had accepted his offer at the school I would have him, and not whoever this ungrateful trash is.
"She should be happy to have you." She said frowning. I would be now, Beast Boy.
"I love her and I know she loves me. We're just having problems right now." He said looking into her sparkling eyes.
"Maybe you guys should just take a break. I mean she's just your girlfriend, right?" she asked smiling playfully.
"No." his eyes started to water again. All the alcohol was hitting him hard.
She was so confused. Were they, like, friends with benefits or something?
"So, what is she to you?" she said, afraid of the answer she knew would ruin her mood for a long time.
"I'm married."
"To who?" she choked out, dreading the answer.
"Rachel." He said using Raven's "human name" just to be safe. He might be mad but he still loves her just the same and will always protect her.
She didn't dig. She knew that he needed time. Problem was she didn't have enough time. She had to get back home to her apartment before her roommate did. Her roommate Laila was a seriously sloppy and messy person.
"Well, I have to go soon. I'm sorry Beas-" she was interrupted by him.
"Garfield."
"I'm sorry Garfield. Hopefully whoever this Rachel is will come to her senses and remember that you are an amazing man. And anyone would be lucky to have you. I wish I was." The last part came out without her permission. It just slipped out.
Garfield looked at her surprised. And in a desperate need for love and comfort he leaned in and kissed her.
She sure was surprised. She forgot that he was married, she forgot that he was hurting. She didn't care that he was already with someone. She wanted him. And she thought that at that moment she wanted him. She kissed him back with force. The drunk changeling didn't know what he was doing, he wasn't thinking.
"Let's go to your place."
Rachel searched all over the city, asking people if they had seen a blonde man wearing a green shirt, khaki shorts, and black sneakers. She kept hearing no and she was getting frustrated and impatient.
"Where are you Gar? I need you." She said quietly.
Gar reached for the keys in his back pocket and unlocked his and Rachel's apartment. When the door was opened he grabbed Terra's hand and pulled her in the apartment closing the door behind them. He pulled her onto the couch with him.
They sat and kissed passionately on the couch.
Rachel asked Titans East, Victor, Kory, and Nightwing. None of them had seen him. Of course they asked why she was looking for him so she told them. And it turned out Kory, Nightwing, Karen and Victor already knew. At that point she was furious. She was the last to know!
She was walking up the stairs to the apartment. She hoped that he had come back home so that they could talk. Or yell.
She unlocked the door and opened it. The lights were off and it was dark but she could make out something on the couch.
"Garfield. I'm so sorry. I should've heard you out." She stopped talking. She really just wanted to hit him. But she wanted to make things right between them even more.
"Gar?"
That's when she heard a girly sigh and she turned on the tall lamp next to the door.
She gasped. Rage came to the surface and her power surged through her. She heard many things explode, including the lamp.
She saw Terra laying on top of Garfield (clothed) covered by a soft wool blanket.
The room darkened again. She stepped up to the couch.
There were now two pairs of glowing red and angry eyes staring down at them. Anger apparent on her face. Rachel all of a sudden turned into Raven, gray skin, leotard, cloak and all.
She tapped Terra's shoulder roughly. Her nails digging into her shoulder.
"Wakey wakey." Her voice was demonic.
"Huh?" Terra's eyes slowly opened, and then they were bugging out when she saw four glowing red eyes staring down at her like she was prey.
"Garfield's amazing, isn't he?" she said, her smile seeming crooked and evil.
Terra screamed trying to wake up Garfield. She shook him and eventually he woke with a start.
"What's wrong? Are you okay beautiful?" he asked caressing her face.
Raven felt even more anger go through her. And also depression. She really wanted to tell him her secret. She's known for a while now, about three weeks.
She was planning on telling him when he got home. But that was out of the question now. She wanted to watch him squirm.
"L-look!" she stuttered out pointing at Raven, her hand shaking.
Raven smiled wickedly.
"Have fun Garfield?"
Garfield had a major hangover and his mind was groggy but he definitely knew his Rachel was gone, his Raven was gone. Right now the demon Rage within her was coming to the surface and she was going to take her wrath on both of them.
"Rae. Oh god." He knew he had gone way too far. He went too far when he kissed Terra, now he was definitely never getting his Raven back.
He sat up, Terra going to the other side of the couch with the blanket.
He stood up. He walked up to Raven, ignoring her growling.
"Rae." He said caressing her face. She seemed to calm down for a second but then something else broke and she roughly pushed him away.
"You CHEATED ON ME!" she yelled.
He landed on the couch, almost bumping into Terra.
"Rae!" he held his hands out, trying to protect both Terra and himself. "I'm sorry! I was drunk!"
"You were drunk?" she asked, seeming very uncaring about his answer.
He wasn't sure where she was going with this. But he knew answering truthfully might make the situation worse or less dramatic.
"Yeah. I wasn't fully aware of what I was doing and-" he was interrupted by a malicious laugh.
"You weren't fully aware?!" she laughed harder, holding her stomach, eyes closed tight.
He was confused. He's never really seen her act like this. He didn't like what he saw. She was so… scary. There were times when they were on the team where he had been terrified of her… but now? It was just a completely different side of her, worse than when it was her birthday and she had to deal with Dr. Light.
Terra leaned closer to Garfield and asked in a small, scared voice, "I-is that Raven?"
He looked at her and saw how scared she looked. He felt a spot inside his heart tighten. He felt anger. Anger at himself. Terra. Raven.
But he knew this was mostly his fault. He kissed her first. He cheated on the love of his life.
But Raven didn't let him explain. She got him mad. It was partially her fault too. At least that's what he kept telling himself.
"Yes. Or at least that was." He said looking into her eyes, caringly.
Raven saw this and quickly addressed it. A new emotion emerged. Jealousy. Jealousy is a dangerous thing. In her case, it's murderous.
"So… look whose back." She smiled at Terra, eyes showing nothing but hate. "Hello Terra."
"Um…" Terra wasn't certain what she would say. She was still scared. But she had a good hold of her powers now. She felt that she might be able to hold off the half-demon long enough to get away. The only thing holding her back was Garfield. She couldn't leave him. Especially not with her.
"Nothing to say?" Raven asked, voice dark.
"Raven, keep her out of this. You're mad at me not her." Garfield defended.
"Oooh, so you defend her. You make out with her in our apartment on our couch. Then you expect me not to come after her when she took the man I love away from me. Did you tell her you were married? Huh?!"
He looked down. Not being able to look into her eyes. Her four, red, hatred filled eyes. Hatred directed at him.
"Yes." He said quietly.
"And she still came to the place where you and your wife live together."
"Raven." He felt guilty. He felt sad. So depressed. "I don't think I can do this anymore."
Raven's eyes suddenly formed back to two violet orbs. Her eyes tearing up, eyebrows furrowed. "What?" she said softly, too scared to think of what that meant.
"I think we should take a longer break." He looked into her eyes. His heart broke when he saw the sullen look in her eyes.
"You don't love me anymore? Gar?" she said voice breaking.
"Garfield?" Terra asked softly, turning his head so he looked at her.
She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. She pulled back and looked into his eyes.
Raven started sobbing into her hands. Everything remotely fragile exploded. Plates, cups, lightbulbs, picture frames, pretty much everything.
The place looked like a wreck.
"If you want her then you can have her." She started making her way to the door. "I hope you have a nice life with her Garfield."
Before she left she grabbed the picture of him and her on the table that was cracked and set it on fire, black flames burning Garfield's face, black charred pieces falling.
She crumpled it up and threw it at Garfield's face. He was too stunned to catch it and it hit his nose.
She looked into his eyes. She hadn't stopped crying. She gave him one last disapproving look before walking out the door. He saw her for the last time
