Chapter 5: Meanest to You

Closing the door to his room, Beast Boy walked over to his bed and sat down. Angrily, he threw the case to one of his games across the room. He had gotten into an argument with Terra, she said that he didn't spend enough time with her, and he didn't respond with what she wanted to hear. It was her fault, right? After all, he didn't start the fight; he was playing a game with Cyborg. Then, Terra said that Raven spent more time with her than he did, he thought maybe Raven was talking to Terra about him... that could be true, and he got angrier thinking about it. Maybe if he slept, he'd be able figure out what he would do about the fight when he woke up.

Tossing his belt off, he jumped into bed, put his music on at a low volume, and within minutes he was asleep. But he didn't feel like he was asleep, in a dream, he was lying in bed just as he had been, and was fully aware of himself. He stood up and looked around. Then, his own voice echoed throughout the room and his head.

"What if Raven is getting Terra to break up with you?"

"She wouldn't do that, she doesn't hate me that much... does she?" he said back to his own voice.

"Why not? You call her names and stuff, maybe she wants to get back at you."

"Raven isn't that mean..."

"Remember when she humiliated you in front of the others so badly that the others were making fun of you for a month after it? She knows how to get ya."

"I hated her for that... I'm going to make sure she knows that if she messes with me anymore, there will be hell to pay. I'll talk-."

"No, dude. You have talked to her enough, does she change, or even listen?"

"No... but, I won't hurt her."

"She has hurt you enough, dude."

"I don't know... If the others heard about it-"

"They won't know, and neither will she. Surprise her, leave her not knowing what just happened, you can change into something that could do that."

"Hey, yeah - I'll show her!"

There was a knock on his door. "Beast Boy? Um...Who are you talking to?" Terra asked from the other side. Beast Boy awoke, standing in the middle of his room, Terra still knocking on his door. "Nobody," he said, "what do you want?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Well, I don't want to talk to you."

"It's important...please open the door."

"I can hear you fine, just say what you what you came to say."

"Okay... I think we should take a break from dating for a while; we have been having a lot of fights lately and... maybe if we were apart for awhile we could try and work out our own problems."

"Who put you up to this?"

"It doesn't matter who or what, I just feel like we need some time to ourselves."

It sounded like something Raven would say, and Beast Boy jumped right on the thread.

"So, what will you do instead?"

"I might hang out more with the others, I need to learn more about the attack patterns from Robin, Cyborg and Starfire need my help with some summer planning for us, Raven and I should be talking more-."

"I knew it."

"Knew what?"

"Don't try and hide it from me."

"...I'm going to bed now, you should do the same. We'll talk again...I don't know, maybe a month from now, and see if we are any better together after the time apart."

Beast Boy heard Terra walk away from the door, and immediately he began thinking of how he would get Raven back for what he was sure she told Terra to do. He would do it right away, before Raven could get to her room, he would get her. No matter what, he would make her pay for hurting him like this.
