I know you're Alone
Author's note: loosely from "I Know You're Lonely" by Gannent but a Beast Boy Terra fic. I own nothing. I'm lucky to own the plot.
It's been a week since I left for New York City. I was sitting in my dorm room and I thought back to the plane ride. I had been watching the movie on the plane and it was a cheesy chick flick. This is the type I normally hated but the plot was a lot like how Beast boy, I mean Gar, and I are. The girl ran away from true love for her own reasons and then later committed suicide because she couldn't stand to be away from him since he had committed suicide as well. They were star- crossed lovers who wanted nothing more than to be together. Gar and I were star- crossed lovers but I don't think that suicide is in the plans for us.
In this week, I haven't been eating much. I know that I've lost weight, but I don't really care that much, if anything it was a just a pound or two.
My roommate was nice enough. She moved in about an hour before I did. Luckily she let my have the top bunk. Her name was Elizabeth and she was beautiful. Her blue green eyes were big and beautiful. She had dark hair that framed her pale face. She was beautiful, there was no denying it.
My classes were okay. None of them were too hard for me. I was just depressed all the time. I'm sure that people around me questioned if I had always been like this but no one has tried to talk to me, well Elizabeth did after classes on a Friday night before she left to go home for the weekend.
"Terra is everything okay or are you always this quiet and sad looking?" She has curiously.
"Well, about a week before I left to come to NYU I lost virginity. I wasn't dating him but I had loved him for years and he loved me also. It was his first time too. I just miss him and I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by being here. I'm going to stick it out for a little while longer though. I can't just run back. I need to get over him." I answered.
"What was his name?"
"Garfield Logan."
"That's a very interesting name. You don't hear it everyday."
"Yeah I know. Look, I'm fine. Have a good time at your sister's birthday party." I told her since I could see that she was contemplating staying to make sure I was okay.
She nodded in her response and grabbed her bags and left. I only ate an apple all that weekend and I cried myself to sleep every night. She came back late Sunday night to find me already asleep. When I woke up she hugged me and asked how I was doing. I told her I was fine but deep inside, I was so utterly alone.
****Beast Boy in Jump City****
It's been a week since Terra left. She didn't know it but I borrowed Cyborg's holographic rings so I could watch her get on her plane. I followed her to the airport and I bought a ticket so I could make sure she was safe. Once I saw her make it to NYU I left and I hated leaving. This week has been hard; luckily no one was bothering to attack the city. Sure we had a Dr. Light thing but well he wasn't a real threat considering Raven scare the fuck out of him.
I haven't been sleeping well now that Terra's gone. I haven't visited her. It was better if I didn't because that would just make everything more painful. I had Bumblebee check up on her every so often just so I could no she was safe.
And she was safe. But she was losing weight and she was crying a lot. Days passed and Bumble bee told me that she was throwing up and she was now seeing a psychologist. I'm not sure if she told anyone about what we did a week before she left. It doesn't matter if she did or not but maybe she should talk to someone about it and how she feels. I only talked to Cyborg about it. He told me that it was normal for both of us to be in pain after spending time being that intimate with each other and then one of us just leaving. It's nice to know something about me is normal.
My communicator buzzed and I saw Bumble bee's face show up, "Hey Bee, what's up?"
"It's your girl. Her belly is looking kind of swollen. And she's puking more. She's started to eat more now though." Bee looked like there was something else to say.
"Nice to know, is she okay?"
"Yeah, it's just… Beast boy… I saw her take a pregnancy test… and well there's no easy way to say this. It was positive. Did you two do anything before she left?"
"We lost our virginity to each other but I was safe."
"Well, did the condom break?"
"I think… crap it did."
"Then why the fuck are you still in Jump? Get your green butt to NYU and talk to her. Don't let her know I told you though, she'll tell you on her own." With that she signed off. I sighed and went to go see Cyborg.
"Dude, I have a problem." I started tapping my fingers together and looking nervous.
"What is it?" he wonders.
"Well, I've been having Bumble bee look after Terra while she's in New York and she said that Terra took a pregnancy test and it was positive.
After staring at me for a good few minutes he punched me in the face. "You didn't use a condom?"
"It broke." I was really scared. Terra was a little sister to him, so her being hurt meant I got hurt.
"Get your ass to NYU now! You will talk to her and you will bring her back here. How long has it been now since you two gave it up to each other?"
"About a month. I'm leaving though, right now. Can I borrow those hollo rings again?"
He just throws them to me and I instantly turn into a bird and fly off. I flew hours until I got to her dorm. Behind it I quickly changed back to me and put the rings on. I was turned from green to blonde in a matter of seconds. I looked like a normal 18 year old boy. I walked into her dorm and went to her room and knocked at the door.
*Terra's POV*
I heard knocking on my door and wondered who it would be since Elizabeth was in a class right now. I had just taken the pregnancy test and it was positive. I was sitting alone crying.
"Who is it?" I call out.
"Garfield Logan." The answer was a shock to me. What was he doing here? I got up and opened the door. He hugged me as soon as he walked in.
"What are you doing here and why do you look so different?"
"I came to see you and I borrowed Cyborg's holographic rings so I looked normal when I came to see you." He looked nervous. "How's everything going Terra?"
"I'm alright but I'm glad you came. I was about to call you to tell you something but I think it's better to do it in person. Gar, honey, I'm pregnant."
"Wow. Okay. What can I do?"
"Not hate me."
"Terra, I love you. I could never hate you. You are beautiful and smart and funny and the strongest girl I've ever met and that includes Starfire." He looked down at my ring finger. "It makes me really happy you're wearing that ring I gave you."
"It's beautiful and I love it."
"Terra, I want to turn that promise ring into an engagement ring. Will you marry me?"
"Yes, of course I will."
"Will you come home with me?"
"I'll pack my stuff."
For the rest of the day we packed my things into boxes and bags and shipped everything back to Titan's tower. Gar and I bought plane tickets and went back to Jump City. Everything was how it was supposed to be and neither of us were lonely.
