youtube.com/watch?v=5zw_XP7yBBc&feature=related
i'm so in love with this song, so you must love it also
;D
sorry bout posting 2 stories in a row wen i just started here... but the old forum i joined really is dead
sooo here's another one i'm working on. its simple, predictable.
inspired by that song
--------------------------------------
there's something different between her and i now. there's something in our relationship that makes it different from everybody else's.... its inexplainable. we no longer hate each other--that phase has long since gone. long has it been since we let our childish ways get the better of us and we were all up in each others faces arguing so the world could hear. there's no more fights, no more shouts, no more put downs or insults or unaccepting of our differences.
it's all different now...
here, let me back track a bit....
the first time i felt our friendship begin to change was a few years after she stopped the end of the world, and after we had finally come to the age where we had to sit up and become more mature than the little 15 year-old teens we once were.... it was probably around mid may. ...you know, when the trees are blossomed and the breeze smells of lavender and sea salt. when the sun always strikes that perfect angle during the right time of the day so the light in the sky has a peaceful orange glow. it was around that time when i realized things had to be better.
the morning was normal: cyborg and robin playing videogames, starfire doing something inhuman, me stuffing my face with my vegetarien food and raven drinking her nasty herbal tea. she rolled her eyes at the behavior of our two friends in front of the tv and went on drinking her tea, her violet hair slightly hanging over her face.
i looked up from my breakfast and examined the girl, head to toe and back up again-- the way she leaned against the counter, the way she gingerly held her hot cup of tea, the way her emotionless eyes stil seemed to have a hint of thought. her skin was pale and smooth, her body frame thin and frail being able to break like a twig. i realy didn't know why i was checking her out then when i had lived with her for years......... i guess since we'd all grown older i was more aware of things that i hadn't noticed before, and one fact that i had ignored for a long time.
raven was beautiful.
"beastboy, what are you looking at?" i heard her say in a sharp tone. i shook my head and just smiled at her.
"n-nothing."
she looked at me and sighed.......there was something showing in her eyes at that moment, i couldn't exactly explain what it was, but it was there..... a sparkle of emotion, possibly a mixture of worry or love, i wasn't sure.... then she walked away.
once she left, a thought occured to me.
i slowly got up from the table, crossed the room and walked through the door, heading down the hall towards her room.
"Raven?" i called from outside her room door.
fortunately, she opened it.
"what." she answered in her regular monotone voice.
"um... i wanted to talk to you."
"yes, why else would you be here."
she rolled her eyes in annoyance, waiting for me to say what i wanted to say and get it over with.
"well, i wanted to talk to you...... about our friendship."
she threw me a sharp look. "w-..what?"
"You know, our.......relationship."
"Beastboy, what are you talking about. we hardly like each other, what would you--"
"please just let me talk right now," i cut her off short, "i'm saying............i've been thinking about the way we treat each other."
"what, you think something's wrong with the way we act?"
"well, yes!" i replied. "raven, please, be honest, aren't you tired of always arguing? always getting on each other's nerves? never being able to talk to each other and always hating each other just because of our differences?"
she was silent.
"it sounds corny, but............just for once, don't you wanna try to be.......friends?"
"..... and, why are you telling me this now?"
i sighed. "..because..... i'm worried that.... if we don't start changing now, then we might not be able to in the future. not to be a pessimist or anything, but.....we may not all be together forever.."
i left her hanging to get through her thoughts. 'i hope she's taking me seriously, i thought, then began again.
"...... haven't you ever wanted to .... get along with me for once?"
there was a long, awkward pause between us. finally, she sighed, and looked me straight in the eye. the same different expression was in her face and in her violet blue eyes that day......and i was still never able to explain it.
"honestly," she breathed, ".....yes, i do."
i smiled at her.
"that's great, rae. now how 'bout we--"
she cut me off. "i do, really, but.......... i don't think i can."
i looked at her confusedly. "wha-what? whatchu mean you can't?"
"i mean, i can't... be friends with you.."
she gave me one more look and closed her door.
was no surprise that i didn't see raven for the entire day or for the rest of the week. the team was used to it; she had these phases where she would just lock herself in her room for a while and finally come out her normal, emotionless self acting like nothing happened...... even though we all knew something did. but my curiosity got the better of me.
what's wrong with her?
she really wants to be friends with me?
if she does, then how come she says that she can't?
and why can't she? is it that hard?
i ended up knocking on her door the fourth day of her absence, yearning for the answers to my many questions.
"raven?"
no answer.
"raven, will you please open the door?"
she cracked it open slightly so only one side of her face was showing. "what do you want this time?"
"well, what's been going on?"
she stayed quiet.
"raven," i said, "are you locking yourself in your room just because of what we talked about the other day?"
"No," she said softly, almost sadly.."..i--it's not that, ..you wouldn't understand."
she slid the door closed, but i put out my hand and held it open.
"i want to understand."
-----------------------------------
