Chapter 10
Raven's P.O.V.
Did I really just hurt her?
I felt some negative and extremely sad emotions coming from Endeavor.
Beast Boy went to go find her. He seemed worried.
And the whole time, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire were staring at me as if I had done the most horrible thing ever.
I didn't do anything to her during breakfast. I was just gonna ignore her. I knew that she was feeling mellow, then depressed. I don't think I did that. Maybe she was remembering something. From her past?
I stared at her waffles. They were untouched.
I still felt them staring. I got up and slammed the table with my fist. "Fine! I'll go after her!" I yelled. The toaster broke.
I teleported to where they were. Her head was on Beast Boy's shoulder, tears falling down her chin to his shirt. She brushed them away and just looked at me, pain evident in her eyes.
"What do you want?" she croaked.
Beast Boy looked uncertainly at me.
I grabbed her arm and teleported us to my room. She sat on the floor when I offered her to sit on my bed. That slightly annoyed me, but I brushed it off.
"What's wrong?" I asked, harsher than I meant it.
"Did they make you ask? It's okay, I'll lie and say we made up-"
"No! Why are you so sad?!"
Endeavor was silent. Then she started to sing in a sweet, melodic voice.
And all at one the crowd begins to sing,
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain,
Sometimes the hardest ting and the right thing are the same,
She breathed in and out, then started singing something else.
'Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
Now a different song.
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am She was crying but her voice was still steady.
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end Cause I could use some friends for a change And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights, I always win, I always win... But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know... (come on) So this is it? I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this?
She stopped, then sang softly,
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn But that's alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry But that's alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
Endeavor finished singing and looked at me.
"That's how I feel, sometimes. Lost. Life wasn't easy for me. In elementary, I was pushed around. Bullied. In middle school, I didn't let anyone do that to me. Instead, I did it for a while, then I realized it was wrong. They hated me, they did. I saw it in their eyes. They left me, and I was on my own in high school. Until I went to Raylon.
"I felt accepted. I felt like nothing could ruin this. I almost didn't want to come back to Earth. The painful memories were unbearable. Then it was just Jimmu and me. I liked that."
I didn't ask who Jimmu was.
"Then you were mean to me. More pain. I wanted to run away again. Then Beast Boy and I became friends. We both knew pain."
"I'm sorry." I said. "That doesn't make up for anything, but I really am sorry."
She shrugged and laughed emptily, drying her eyes. "'S okay. Now I just want my waffles."
I rolled my eyes. "You really are something, you know that?"
Endeavor gave me one of her trademark grins, her cobalt eyes dry and warm. She extended her hand. "Friends?"
"Friends." I said and hugged her. She was surprised, but she hugged me back.
