Wow. It has been a realllly long time since I have updated. I read some of my stories that I wrote a long time ago and I can't believe how badly written they are. But anywho, summer is on its way and I thought starting to write again would be a great thing to do.

Raven's face was stunned. She thought perhaps he really was in the past and that her and Beastboy would be able to move on. The look on Alex's face gave away that he planned this meeting perfectly, and the girl that claimed to know Beastboy was a fake. She walked back into the dressing room and hurried up and changed. Raven took the clothes she had taken off and dripped them over her arm. She walked out with a brute force.
"I like these. Let's go check out." She said, grabbing Beastboy's arm. They made it to the counter and Beastboy was taking out his wallet and handing the cashier a 50. She could almost jump out of her skin she was so angry. They tried to make it out the door when Alex caught up with them.
"Raven, I really loved that outfit. It didn't even look like you at first." He rambled on about how good she looked, not noticing the fact that she was ignoring him. She kept walking, hoping he would just turn around and leave her alone. A couple more seconds passed when he grabbed her arm and swung her around.
"Raven, come on. Just talk to me. We can work all of this out…" He pleaded. Raven pulled away and started walking again. He grabbed her arm again, this time it was rough and the force of being spun around caused her to yelp in pain.
Before she was even turned fully around, Beastboy was between her and Alex. Their noses were almost touching and neither looked very happy.
"This will be the last time I will tell you to leave her alone. Do not touch her, and don't speak to her." He growled. Alex stared at him, the anger apparent in his eyes.
"I wouldn't be so touchy green boy. She was my girl, not yours. You just can't stand it that I was given a chance and your were always rejected. She will be mine again and you will be the one to keep your paws off." Alex spat. Beastboy grabbed him by his collar and yanked him upwards. He was almost breathing fire. He was ready to get rid of him and it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Beastboy stop." Raven said. She waited a second when she realized he wasn't letting go.
"Beastboy stop." She said again, but still no movement was made.
"Garfield, please stop...come on…stop." Still no reply. She walked up to him. She put her small arms around him and hugged him.
"Gar. Stop. He isn't worth it…come on…let's go." She said as she looked up to see his face. He finally looked down at her eyes. He seemed to be searching for something…and once he found what he was looking for, he let go. Alex finally put his feet to the floor and smoothed his shirt out. Beastboy looked at him, and the look they exchanged both seem to read the same thing, as if they both figured something out at the same time. Beastboy turned around and sped off leaving Raven and Alex both behind.
"Thanks." Alex said.
"Don't be. I only did it so he wouldn't murder you. Alex, you really underestimate him…he won't listen to me next time." Raven said as she walked away. She almost had to jog to get to Beastboy. She finally reached his side. His face was rigid and she knew he was angry. She didn't speak a word, but waited until they were to the car so that she could sit and talk to him.
Once they were on the road and able to finally talk about what had just happened, she spoke to him.
"Beastboy…" She began but he interrupted harshly.
"After what has happened, you still have feelings for him!" He accused. Her eyes felt as if they were as big as saucers.
"What?! Why would you think that?" She asked.
"When you stopped me, I saw it in your eyes. We both saw it, Raven. He knew it as much as I did. Damn it. I can't be with you if you're going to keep loving him." He said calmly. She just stared at him. She didn't know what to say to him… she thought about what would be suitable to say.
"Beastboy…I don't love him. It's going to be hard to just stop caring about him in all. I don't love him though, I only wanted him to be ok… If I loved him, I-I wouldn't be with you. I just-just- I love you so much…I am frustrated with caring for him when I shouldn't and loving you so much that it hurts." She blurted out. She started to cry. She felt so helpless. It was hard trying to forget about someone and try to move on with someone that she knew she loved…it seemed clear to her now, that Beastboy was always lurking within her heart, the love she had for him felt like it was a love that was always there.
He kept silent. Perhaps he was also confused and frustrated be the situation. They were both on the "Alex" hating side and now it was him, and she was sitting on the "Let's care about Alex" side. He was selfish to want ALL of her…but he also felt as if it was his right as her boyfriend. Love was strong but it's fragile as well. He needed to know that once they were together, Alex would be nothing but a shadow moving in the background slowly fading away.
Once the house came into view, they both were relieved. He pulled in and before the car was even in park she opened the door and jumped out heading for the door. Beastboy sat there…his mind trying to comprehend how quickly things changed.
Raven ran to her room and slammed the door. Everything began to blow up and fly across the room. Her powers were going crazy and she just couldn't give a care. Her room was as hectic as her thoughts were. This was a turnaround for her, something that could ruin her.

Starfire came back from taking a walk to find a piece of paper under her door. She read it quickly and placed it on her dresser. She walked out to the kitchen and sat down on the counter. She was surprised when Beastboy came shooting in walking with a fierce stride. He didn't seem to want to talk so she just watched as he walked passed. She sighed and went to find a piece of paper of her own and a pen. She sat at the table and began to write her letter to Robin.
Robin,
I read your letter. I knew of this event. It is no surprise to me what we had done. I know what happened between us and it has not phased me. I do not wish to cause problems, what happened is the past. There is no need to explain to any further. But there is one thing that I must tell you, Robin. I am leaving the Teen Titans for 9 months time. I do not wish to be a hassle to you. I will be moving out of the tower in a couple days. I have an apartment by the mall of shopping and will be very content there. If you would be pleased to have me explain further, I would be delighted to. Bye now.
Starfire.
She slipped it under his door. She remembered the night they had slept together…I was exactly one month ago. She knew this.
