Me: Hey…I wrote another chapter!

B.B.: NOO!

Me: Well then…

Cyborg: Get over it. You have no life.

Me: Why do you have to insult me?!

Raven: Maybe it's because we don't like you at all.

Me: :'(

Starfire: She has a sad face!

Robin: Yes she does. Here's the chapter. Kinda sad, though…

Chapter 9

Endeavor's P.O.V.

I woke up in a cold sweat. Yesterday…had I really done that? No wonder I was so exhausted. I was on the couch with blankets on top of me. The windows showed that it was early morning.

Rubbing my eyes, I stood up and went to the fridge for a snack. I was about to pick a pudding cup when I heard moaning.

"Not…letting…you go."

It was quiet, but I was still sure I had heard it. I went to the hall and realized it came from a room. The door originally had a plaque, but I could still see who's room it had been: TERRA.

I quietly slipped inside the room. It was dark and dusty. Someone was snoring on the bed. I recognized the green skin. Beast Boy.

I approached him. He was sleeping on Terra's bed with a heart shaped jewelry box held tightly against his chest.

"They wanted to…give your room…to that stupid alien." he murmured.

It took all my willpower not to sock him in the face. I had to remind myself multiple times that B.B. was in pain. So I didn't.

Instead, I said, "It's okay. I'll-I mean-she'll get a different room. Don't worry."

"Terra…I miss you."

This reminded me so much as my life pretending to be a human. A few unintentional mean words, and my best friend was no longer talking to me. My heart ached thinking about her. "I know it's hard when someone's not with you, B.B. But you need to move on."

"Not forgetting."

"I'm not asking you to. Just…let her go. If she doesn't come back, it was never meant to be."

Beast Boy slept more soundly after that.

I went back to the couch and slept until Raven woke me up.

"Seriously?" I yelled at her, drenched in cold water.

She scowled. "Get out. You should leave."

"Too bad, Sunshine. I'm not going anywhere!" "What's going on?"

We both turned and saw Robin. His hands were folded across his chest and he looked mad.

"She threw cold water on me while I was sleeping!"

"I thought she had a fever!"

"Idiot, you don't throw cold water at me! I was freezing before you threw the water at me!"

"I don't want you here-"

"ENOUGH!" Robin shouted. "Endeavor, I'm sorry about that. I'll get Cyborg to make you a warm breakfast. Raven, we need to talk. Now."

She stormed into the hall, not before shooting me a glance that read, I'll get you for that.

I stuck out my tongue at her, which was probably not the smartest thing I've ever done. She used her powers to lift a pillow and smacked me on the head, then she put it down. Robin was walking ahead of her, so he didn't see.

Fine. Just…fine. I'll get used to it.

A flash of memories came at that moment.

Me getting bullied, me finally fighting back, only to realize my best friend was behind at the taunting and teasing and hurting. I became bitter, then like her until I stopped but it was too late because everyone hated me and then I was alone and no one would help and then I was gone…

I shook my head, banishing the memories to the back of my mind. I didn't want to be hurt anymore. Raven was going to be like her.

I didn't want that.

Cyborg waved his robot hand in front of my face. "Earth to alien!"

"Huh? Oh, hey Cyborg."

"Hey 'Deavor. So why is Robin mad at Rae?"

"We had a little…spat."

He nodded in understanding. "I get it."

No you don't. I wanted to tell him. You don't know how it is to look at their hateful faces and sit alone at lunch everyday and have no one to love you…

"So you up for waffles?" Cy asked me.

I nodded and sat down.

Starfire came a few minutes later, her usual bubbly self. "Hello friends! This is a wondrous morning, is it not?"

It's not. Look at me, I'm soaked to the skin. Parts of me are wet that I didn't know could get wet.

She gasped. "Friend, you are wet!"

"Courtesy of Sunshine." I murmured and looked at the floor, trying to control my emotions. It was hard, so hard, but I managed not to destroy Titans Tower. I was using so much effort, I was sweating. But since I was wet it didn't show. She brought me a towel. I thanked her.

"Waffles are ready. Hey, B.B.! Just in time for breakfast." Cyborg said cheerfully.

He served everyone the waffles.

Robin and Raven came back. They didn't look at each other. Raven never glanced my way.

Beast Boy looked better now than when I last saw him. He looked normal. At least, normal for him.

Everyone talked and laughed, except for me and Sunshine.

I put strawberries and whipped cream on my waffles, pretending it was like my mom used to do when I was seven, when I used to smile sincerely. She'd smile and my dimples would show and she'd be happy that I loved it…

I gulped, afraid I was going to break down any second.

I wasn't hungry.

"I'm not feeling hungry." I muttered and left the table.

Silence.

No talking, no laughing. They stared at me as I left.

I went to the highest floor and locked myself in a closet. I took deep, shuddering breaths. I lowered my energy level so Sunshine wouldn't find me.

"Endeavor?" someone said softly.

It was Beast Boy. I ducked my head so he wouldn't see the tears.

Too late. He already did. He closed the door and put his arm around my shoulders. He didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. I just silently wept my pain out, because it hurt and it hurt a lot and I didn't know what to do anymore…

Silence.

Depressing. Endeavor's life was hard, before she went to Raylon. An outcast, she learned to fend for herself. She doesn't know it, but her family tried to help her by giving her some space, hoping in vain she'd get over it. Her friends didn't know how to help. Her best friend is constantly referred to as her.

Review. For the lost warrior…
