Beastboy was flying through the air at an incredible speed. He didn't know where he was going nor did he care in that moment. All he knew was that he needed to get away from all the hurt he was feeling.

The events that occurred prior were still fresh in his mind. Every word exchanged was still ringing in his head. And the wave of emotions he felt during that was still there. Still fresh.

Beastboy honestly didn't know what to do. He lost the one person he has truly cared for in a long while in one night and on top of that hurt her emotionally. He betrayed her trust and that was something nobody could simply overlook.

The jade-eyed teenager flew faster to get away from the thoughts overtaking his head. Right now all Beastboy needed was someone to talk to. And he knew just where to go.

Fifteen minutes later found Beastboy -now in human form- standing in front of his best friend Jake's house.

Beastboy had known Jake for about 4 years now. He met Jake when he was robbing a bank back in Gotham City and surprisingly Jake had helped Beastboy escape and brought him back to his house. Ever since then the two had been close seeing as they had a lot in common especially dealing with their pasts.

Beastboy sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He was suddenly nervous. He hadn't seen his best friend in over a year and he didn't know what to expect. But as quickly as that thought came, it passed. Beastboy soon found that he was being paranoid for nothing. 'Alright I really need to get a grip. Jake is still the same Jake nothing has changed' With that thought the thief raised his arm and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later he heard some footsteps come and soon the door opened to reveal his best friend Jake.

Jake unsurprisingly hadn't changed one bit. He had jet-black shaggy hair that covered his eyes but not by too much. He was 5'11 and had a lean, muscular body from playing various sports. He had grey eyes and had various tattoos of gang symbols all over his left and right arms, and scars from previous fights. All in all Jake still looked like the same Jake he knew.

When Jake opened the door, it was obvious that he wasn't expecting Beastboy to be on the other side.

"Beastboy! Man it's good to see you" Jake exclaimed as he opened the door wider for Beastboy to come through.

"It's good to see you too Jake. It's been a while." Beastboy said smiling at his friend.

Jake chuckled "Damn right it's been a while. How have you been?" Jake asked as he closed the door and led his friend to his kitchen.

"Same old same old stealing some stuff getting into trouble the usual. What about you?" Beastboy asked as he sat down at the table.

"Aw nothing much really. I've actually been low on the radar over the past year."

"Really? That's hard to believe with all the trouble you attract." Beastboy said amusingly

Jake laughed. "I know man but I had to lay low since the cops have been looking for me ever since I stole that diamond ring from the Gotham City Museum."

What the police didn't know was the renowned thief known as Beastboy actually had a partner and that was Jake. Jake was also thief, though he was not certainly a renowned one, and he had helped Beastboy on the occasions when Beastboy needed his help. And in turn Beastboy would return the favor.

"Right I forgot about that. Speaking of where is it?"

"Oh I sold to this guy my friend knew. I got a pretty decent amount for it."

Beastboy raised his eyebrows. "And how much is 'decent'?"

"Oh I would say just about 5k."

Beastboy's eyes widened "What? Is this dude like a collector or something cause I know that your average person wouldn't or couldn't pay that much."

Jake smiled at his friends' current shock.

"Yup you hit the nail right on the head. He was a major ring collector and he told me that the diamond ring I had was one of the rarest in the world and that he had to have it. So of course when he said that he would give me 5 grand for it I just had to agree." Jake finished smugly.

Beastboy just nodded his head. Then realizing that he was still in shock, he shook his head and regained his cool.

"Well then I need to go back into my thievery. It's been a good while."

"Yeah I'll say. You know we should go steal together. Like the good days."

Beastboy smiled at this. "Yeah I've really missed the adrenaline rush I get from stealing and running from the cops."

Jake smirked "Hell yeah those cops could never catch up to us. Remember that one fat cop back in Gotham City who ran after us for like 10 seconds and passed out dead on the ground?"

Beastboy laughed at the memory. "Dude of course I remember, how could I forget? Damn that cop was so fat!"

Jake laughed along with Beastboy. "Hell yeah he was! That was too funny."

"Yeah good times." Beastboy said reminiscing.

A comfortable silence passed between the two, as they were each lost in their thoughts. Jake was thinking about how nice it was to finally see his best friend again while Beastboy was thinking about the major reason for coming over here in the first place. The renowned thief sighed as these thoughts ran around Beastboy's head.

Hearing Beastboy's sigh knocked Jake out of his thoughts and he looked at his friend in slight concern.

"Hey you alright man?" Jake asked

Beastboy sighed once again. "No not really."

Hearing this, Jake turned his full attention onto Beastboy. "Alright then. What's up?"

Beastboy turned to look at Jake. "I just lost someone really important to me man." Beastboy said sadly.

Jake looked at Beastboy in alarm. "What? Who was killed? I swear Beastboy just tell me who it is and I'll-"

"What? No you got it wrong. Nobody died, I'm talking about this girl I met." Beastboy said.

At this revelation Jake calmed down. "Ok what's her name?"

"Raven." Beastboy said flinching slightly. Even saying her name wracked him with pain and heartbreak.

The slight flinch did not go unnoticed by Jake and he sighed. 'Man she must be pretty special for him to react like this.' "Alright tell me what happened."

Beastboy explained the whole thing to Jake. From the very first time he met her, to him finding out he fell for her and that she returned those feelings. And finally to the events that happened just two hours prior.

Jake listened intently throughout Beastboy's whole explanation. When he was done, Jake was silent for a few moments.

Beastboy broke the silence. "So what should I do?"

Jake sighed and ran his hands down his face. "What I think you should is talk to her. And I mean really talk to her. I think it's time for her to know you a bit better and to figure out why you became a thief. Right now, I think that she just thinks you are just another criminal and that there was no reason for you to become a thief. But maybe if you let her in, she could come to understand the real you."

Beastboy ran his hands through his hair and looked down at his feet. "But she said that I betrayed her trust. I hurt her badly and even if I did tell her about me she wouldn't care. Hell if I tried to talk to her now she probably wouldn't even look at me. She would just ignore me or worse, turn me in." Beastboy finished off sadly.

Jake looked at his friend. Beastboy looked defeated and worn down. He hated seeing his best friend in a state like this. He had always known Beastboy to be a happy-go-lucky person and he would do anything right now to see him return to that state.

"Beastboy from the way that you've described her to me, it sounds like she really liked you. And unless all of her feelings for you have just magically vanished into thin air, then I doubt that she would turn you in."

"But she's a hero Jake! It's her job to turn in people like me! What makes me any different?" Beastboy shouted

If Jake was affected by his shouting, then he didn't show it. Instead he looked at Beastboy coolly. "Beastboy, I know that you're hurting from what has just happened, but you if you want to win her back then you need to talk to her. She may not want to listen to anything that you have to say and she might just flat out ignore your presence. But don't you think that it's worth it in the end if you end up getting her back?" Jake asked Beastboy.

Beastboy thought about this. He would do anything to get Raven back. He loved her that much and couldn't stand that he made her cry and hurt her.

Beastboy smiled softly at the thought of getting her back. "Yeah I would do anything to get her back."

Jake smiled at this. "Then you can't give up Beastboy. I know that you're devastated and that you're angry with yourself for hurting her. But giving up will not do anything to help you. In fact it might just make things worse for the both of you. Because whether you know this or not she probably wants you back just as much as you want her back."

Beastboy couldn't believe that these helpful, wise words were coming out of his friends' mouth. His friend who was always a jokester and a prankster, who acted like a big kid most of the time. 'He has changed. Maybe not in appearance but definitely in character.'

"You're right. I won't give up on Raven and I will win her back. But the thing is how do I do that since now I'm pretty sure her whole team knows about my secret and would probably watching over her even more since she might not be in a good emotional state?"

Jake smiled. "My best guess is to try and sneak in to the tower and to see if you can catch Raven alone. But be careful they more likely have cameras all over their tower and their security is probably beefed up to the max."

It was Beastboy's turn to smile. "Dude I'm a renowned thief, breaking in is my forte."

Jake laughed "Look at you using big words."

Beastboy rolled his eyes "Yeah yeah whatever. But anyway I seriously miss my thievery. And you know tonight might be a perfect night to go 'shopping' if you know what I mean."

Jake smirked "Are you suggesting that we go on a midnight steal?"

"Yup that's exactly what I'm suggesting Jakey. Plus it would be a perfect distraction from Raven until I figure out what more to do. It's just going to be me, you, and my adrenaline rush."

Jake's smirked widened. "Alright than Beastboy it's set. So where would we be going?"

Beastboy smiled "How 'bout we hit Jump City Bank? I could really use some cash."

Jake chuckled "Alright you're on. Meet me here at 11:45 and then we can go for or midnight steal."

Beastboy chuckled albeit darkly. "I'll be there."

And that's that folks. I will say that there will only be a few more chapters left. With the way that I have this planned out I might say roughly around 5 or 6 more chapters. But anyway next chapter we finally get to see Beastboy live up to his name! And did you guys like Jake? Yes? No? Please let me know with a review!
