Yeah, this is really late. Sorry.
Don't Look Back
Chapter 3: Fast Forward
A week later…
"No one has seen him anywhere!" Robin announced sadly, returning from the police station, "Let's face it guys, he's gone. He obviously wanted to leave."
"I shall miss you so," cried Starfire, "Do you suppose he will ever return?"
"I can't say, Star."
"Someone oughta break the news to Raven. She's been in her room for 3 days. Hasn't said a word to anyone," said Cyborg.
"I'll go," replied Robin. He knocked on her door. "Raven, can I come in?" Without saying a word, the door slid open. Raven sat on her bed, face expressionless. Robin entered and sat next to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"He's not coming back, is he?" said Raven quietly.
"It's not your fault, you know. He wanted to leave us."
"I should've listened to him. I should've paid more attention-"
"I know you feel like you've lost your best friend, but blaming yourself isn't gonna-"
"Why would he leave us?! Doesn't he care about us?!" Raven yelled, standing up. "Doesn't he care about me?" Raven said the last part in a whisper.
"Of course he cares. He cared about you maybe more than he cared about any of the Titans. I'm sure he had a good reason for leaving," said Robin, standing up and attempting to comfort her.
"I'm scared," whispered Raven, facing him, "I'm scared that I'll never see him again…….. I love him." Tears began to form at the corners of her eyes. Dick wrapped his arms around her, holding her close, trying his best to comfort her. He didn't say a word. He didn't need to say a word. They shared a telepathic bond. She was like his little sister, and he would do anything to protect her. "He loves you too. I wish you could see that," Dick thought to himself.
