If I Die Young By The Band Perry.
This was a request, but I was already planning on using it. I will be doing some more requests soon I promise. And this was my Aunty's favorite song. Love her and miss her. Also her funeral was today and I couldn't go, but I saw it over skype. It was a hard to watch but I know she's safe in gods hands now.

Something Important/POV
New Place
Raven POV In The Hospital Titans are 16 years old.
I'm in the hospital. The battle with the HIVE today didn't go well for us. The doctor said that I was in intensive care. Even though I was awake. I was bleeding internally apparently. It would be very hard to heal, even with my powers. It was a 90% chance I was going to die. And I wasn't afraid, I knew it would happen eventually. I'm just glad I defeated Trigon before this happened. I would be dying without any regrets hopefully. No, I wouldn't.
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down
On a bed of roses
"Hey guys" I said as they came in. I read their emotions to see if they knew and they, sadly, did. I saw Starfire try to smile for me, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Beastboy looked crestfallen like he lost a sister or something. Cyborg looked like he failed himself, he had already lost his real sister now he was going to loose me. I finally looked at Robin, my leader, best friend, and lover. We had been dating for seven months. He looked heart broken and self-hated. I scowled to myself of course he would be mad at himself. In other words they all look devastated.
"Friend Raven please tell us, what the doctor of health said isn't true." Starfire said crying slightly.
I smiled slightly at her innocence before comfirming their fears. "Yeah its true. I can't heal internal injuries like this. But its ok." I said trying to raise their spirits.
"Ok ok ok? DUDE HOW CAN IT BE OK IF YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!" Beastboy shouted at me. I sighed knowing a fight would come.
"Beastboy everyone dies eventually, and I guess its my time." I said soothingly.
Sink me in the river
At dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh Oh uh oh
"Look guys when I die, I just want to be buried in black roses, some satin, in a black coffin, and then I want to be sent down the river at dawn. Playing my favorite music as I drift away." I said smiling lightly. (1)
"Friend Raven that is so sweet. But I do not wish for you to die. Who could I do the talking of boys with? Or have the slumber of parties?" Starfire asked me crying.
"Starfire you'll be fine you can do all those things with Bumblebee. I know you don't want me dead, but everyone eventually dies and my time is now. Can you guys leave for a little while, so I can talk to Robin?" I asked.
"Sure Raven keep fighting though" Beastboy said before leaving.
"As you wish friend Raven" Starfire said before following Beastboy.
"Sure little sis." Cyborg said but before leaving with the others. Now all thats left was me and Robin.
Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
When she stands under my colors
"Don't worry Rae, you'll be fine." Robin said to me while sitting beside me. I smiled sadly at him. Of course he would be trying to think positive, especially now.
"Robin you and I both know that my time is up." I told him knowingly. "Besides you'll see me in the stars every night or after it rains when theres a rainbow. Just stand under the colors and it'll be like I'm right there with you. And I'll be safe when I'm dead too." I said trying to make it seem easier.
"Raven it won't be the same. I swear you won't die or I don't know what I'd do."
Oh and
Life ain't what you think it ought be no
Ain't even gray yet she buries her baby
"Robin you can't save me. The doctors can't either. Its my time to die and I don't mind." I said soothingly. (2)
"Raven your looking like life like it was nothing."
"I am not." I refused pouting. "I'm just accepting the fact that me dying is going to happen. It waould have happen later anyway."
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
"Exactly Raven later. It should have been later. You're to young to die. God none of us are even eighteen yet." He yelled. I rubbed his back since he was sitting on my bed. "I wanted to marry you Raven and now this happens." He confessed to me.
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down
On a bed of roses
"I wanted that too Robin, but we can't control death. No one can. Besides think of it like this. I won't be in any pain. I'll be leaving without any regrets either."
"Yes you will and you know it Raven. You have to hold on please for me." Robin said pleading to me.
Sink me in the river
At dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
"Robin let me ask you this, if you were the one dying you would want me to move on right?" I asked him, he nodded sadly. "That's what I want you to do."
"But Raven-" he started but I cut him off.
"Robin you'll be fine, I'll just be a distant memory to you in a few weeks. I'll just be one of you girlfriends." I told him firmly.
"Raven you'll never be just a girlfriend to me. I swear that your my soulmate. And if you die I'll follow soon after." He declared. That's what I loved about him. He could be a cheesy romantic at the perfect times.
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white
When I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring
On my little cold finger, I
"Robin I think the same thing too, but you have to keep living for me. Who will lead the team, who had a family outside of these walls? You do, and you need to lead the team. So no commiting suicide allowed. A sharp knife may end a short life, but those who take the fast way out. Will never experience what they could've had. And that applies to you here. Your not a coward so don't you dare even think about it."
He sighed. "Fine but if you die I want you wearing white and this promise ring I was going to give you."He said giving me the box to open. I opened it to find a little ring that had a blood red, midnight black, and amethyst gems on it. The desing was plain and simple but on the bottom had the engraving of "My Dark Angel" on it. I smiled and put it on my finger.
Never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice
When he was holding my hand
"Never knew you were that romantic Robin. But I'll accept your request." He smiled at me and gave me a peck on the lips.
"You'd know more if you didn't just give up." He whispered in my ear, while holding my hand. I grimanced.
"Robin-" he cut me off though.
"Rae giving up isn't the answer trust me. Right now isn't your time to die. And if you stayed here with me I'd be able to love you for a lot longer." He continued.
Theres a boy here in town
Says he'll love me forever
Who would've thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
"Robin either way our lives are in danger by what we do. I'm accepting this fact and you can't change it." I huffed stubbornly.
ROBINS POV
So put on your best boys and
I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
I groaned at her attitude. I know that she could heal herself on the inside, only if she could believe she could. But it was appartently a sign from god that she was supposed to die. Like I'm going to let that happen. She's going to have a full and happy life. Even if its the last thing I do. (3)
A penny for my thoughts
Oh no
I'll sell them for a dollar
"A penny for your thoughts?" I asked her.
"No there worth a dollar Richard." I felt my heart melt when I heard my real name. We barely ever said each others names so this was special. I smiled at her, then laughed. I grabbed my wallet from my pocket, and pulled out a dollar for her. She laughed her eyes sparkling. It was like the HIVE never happened but it did, and she would die if she didn't heal herself.
There worth so much more
After I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear
"Robin I think my thoughts are more expensive than a dollar too." I smirked at her.
"Is a kiss per thought expensive too?" I asked her.
"Nope" I kissed her hoping this would help her to realize I need her.
The words I've been singing
Funny when your dead
How people start listening
"You know Robin its kinda funny. People never listen to what a person until they're gone." I sighed. (4)
"Raven please heal yourself that way, you don't have to leave your family. Us. The titans we're your family! Do you really want to leave us?"
"No"
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down
On a bed of roses
"Then heal yourself I know you can. I love you and I need you! Please!" I pleaded with her crying slightly.
"I'll try, but if it doesn't work bury me in satin, and lay me in roses."
Sink me in the river
At dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh
"Sink you in a river at dawn, and send you away with the words of your favorite songs. I know Rachel I know." I told her and saw her smile at her real name. She looked at me and kissed me once more before focusing on healing herself.
The ballad of a dove
Uh oh
Go with peace and love
RAVENS POV
I focused my powers and praying Azar to heal me. I felt myself being lifted in to the air. I felt my insides come together again and everything bothering me before stop. I opened my eyes to see stormy blue looking back at me. He had taken off his mask. And I loved it whenever he did. I heard the door open and saw Robin put the mask on. I saw the doctor come in and check me once again. By the time he was done, he was smiling.
"Good news Ms. Roth you have no injuries anymore and you may leave anytime you wish." He said before leaving. The titnas came in seconds later.
"Friend Raven what did the doctor say?" Starfire asked me.
I smiled and said. "To go with peace and love and follow the doves."
"Raven give us a straight answer please." Cyborg said.
Gather all your tears
Keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time your really gonna need them oh
"Lets just say to keep your tears in your pockets and save them for another time." I told them. They had huge smiles on their faces. Then they all tackled me in a hug.
"Come on Rae lets go home." Robin said and we all left. On the way to the tower I thought about everything.
The sharp knife
Of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and
I'll wear my pearls
Like how a sharp knife could end my life right now. But that would be the weak way out of it, if it was suicide. So why should I believe in it? My life is now happy again, and I'm safe in Robins arms. I wouldn't have to worry about death for a long time.
