This little baby was created after listening to Katy Perry's "Pearl". I absolutely love the song. I hope you enjoy the story. It's kind of depressing and there is some abuse in it. I do not condone violence in any way, shape, or form. Please read and review.

Disclaimer: I do not own "Pearl". The great Katy Perry does. I hope you like it. I almost cried while writing this because I was listening to Pearl as I wrote. Enjoy.

Pearl

Robin's P.O.V.:

Ever since Raven started dating Beast Boy she hasn't been herself. It seems like she's being controlled. Raven was one of the strongest people I knew. Raven was a force to be reckoned with. I should know. I'm the only person who knows the real Raven. I love Raven with all my heart and I hate seeing her like this. It breaks my heart.

I walked into the family room of Titans Tower and saw Raven sitting on the couch reading a book. I walked over to her and sat down on the couch next to her. Raven looks up at me with puffy red-rimmed eyes. I had to hold back the urge to get up, find Beast Boy, and kick his fucking ass. I shut Raven's book and set it on the table in front of the couch. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my chest. How could do this to my beautiful Raven? This girl in my arms isn't Raven. It's just a shell of Raven. I want my Raven. I want the dark enchantress that I fell in love with back.

Raven was beautiful, like a pearl. Raven wriggled out of my grip and I looked down at her. Her azure eyes were dull and lifeless. She had tears streaming down her face. I used the pad of my thumb and wiped

them away. I pressed a kiss to her forehead and smiled at her. She gave me a small smile in return. I handed her back her book and got up. I leaned over to press one more kiss to her forehead and then walked out of the family room. Beast Boy is going to pay.

Raven's P.O.V.:

I was standing in front of my full length mirror looking at my reflection. My hair was dull, my eyes were lack-luster, and I looked like I hadn't slept in days. I walked over to my bed and sat down on the edge. My iPod was hooked up to my radio and I decided that I needed some music. I scrolled through my music until I found my favorite song. I let Katy Perry's voice fill my room and began to sing along.

She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be laid in

She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...Ohh
Yeah, she used to rule the world...Ohh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a pearl

She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in some man
Wishing that they'd never ever met

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...Ohh
Yeah, she used to rule the world...Ohh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a –

Do you know that there's a way out,
there's a way out
there's a way out
there's a way out

You don't have to be held down,
be held down
be held down
be held down

'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let him rule my world
my world, ohh, yeah

But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl

You don't have to be shell, No
You're the one that rules your world, ohh
You are strong and you'll learn
that you can still go on

And you'll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable

The song ended and I turned off my iPod. I got up and walked into the training room. I walked over to Beast Boy and tapped him on the shoulder. "Beast Boy we need to talk." I said to him and he put down the barbell he was holding. "What's up?" he asked nonchalantly. "I'm breaking up with you. I've changed and I don't like it. I'm not who I used to be." I said rubbing my arms. "You talked to Robin didn't you?" Beast Boy asked angrily. I looked at him and nodded. "Why? Why did you talk to him?" Beast Boy asked seething with anger. "He could tell that I had changed and he didn't like it. I looked at my reflection and I didn't like what I saw. He was right. Ever since we started dating I've become more reclusive. I'm a shell of myself. I'm sorry but we're over. Goodbye Beast Boy." I said and made for the training room door. Just as I got to the door I felt someone grab my shoulder roughly and turn me around. I came face to face with an enraged Beast Boy. Beast Boy raised his hand and slapped me across the face. I fell in a crumpled heap on the floor. I clutched my face, tears spilling down my cheeks. Beast Boy kicked me in the gut and left the training room. I grabbed my stomach and curled into a ball. I could feel myself losing consciousness. I heard someone come into the training room and then a hand on my shoulder. A few seconds later, everything went black.

A few hours later I woke up to the sound of a machine beeping and someone snoring softly. I tried to sit up but a searing pain shot through my abdomen. I winced in pain and fell back against the pillow. I looked around the room and noticed that I was in the medical wing of Titan's Tower. I heard soft snores and saw Robin asleep in the chair next to my bed. His hand was resting on the bed and I grabbed it. He shifted in his sleep but didn't wake up. I squeezed his hand and he opened his eyes. I gave him a small smile and he squeezed my hand. "How are you feeling?" he asked me resting his elbows on my bed. "I'm feeling okay. My stomach still hurts." I said resting my arm across my abdomen. "I'll go get Cyborg so he can discharge you." he said and kissed my forehead. I stared up at the ceiling and waited for Robin and Cyborg to come back. A few minutes later I heard the door open and Cyborg and Robin walked in. "Well Rae, you're good to go. Just don't do any training for awhile." Cyborg said and removed my I.V. Robin helped me out of bed and into his room. "You're staying with me for awhile." Robin said slipping under the covers and pulling me into his chest. "I love you Raven. You don't have to change to please me." Robin said as I looked up at him. "I love you too. I'm so glad I broke up with Beast Boy. You were right. I had changed and I didn't like it. I wasn't myself. And I know that with you, I can be myself." I said and kissed him. I broke the kiss and snuggled into his chest. Robin's arms tightened around my waist. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep. The last thought on my mind was "I'm unstoppable."
