Chapter One:
Starfire walked outside to get some fresh air. She was absolutely miserable. Robin had abandoned her. At least, she felt he had. She had fallen head over heals in love with him, and he said he had, too. But now, she knew it was all a lie. She had found him making-out with some random fan-girl. Her heart was broken into two. She felt as if somebody had taken her heart, ripped it to shreds, put it back together in all the wrong places and stuffed it back into her.
She sobbed on the roof, trying to get it all out. She wanted to die. Robin was the only thing that ever kept her a whole person. He was the only one who kept her happy. She didn't have him anymore. He was having a fling with some fan-girl. Obviously he didn't care for her. Starfire went back into the tower. She decided she was going to kill herself. But first write a note to Robin.
She wrote:
Dear Robin,
You obviously don't care for me anymore, so I no longer wish to live. I just have one question, Why? Why did you do it? Why do you wish to kill me emotionally? I feel terrible and wish to end my life. You may be thinking, 'What are you talking about?' but I saw you making-out with that fan-girl.
I am broken and a life without your love wouldn't be a life at all. I don't care if you don't want me to do it. I don't care what anybody wants me to do right now except myself. And right now I want to kill myself. This is good-bye. Well, not GOOD-bye but bad-bye. I do hope you know I was always in love with you and I will never love you any less.
Love,
StarfireShe meant everything she wrote. No amount of therapy would have saved her life. Except from one person who happened to be standing on the roof at that very moment. She put the note on his pillow then looked down at the locket he had given her. She took it off and put it on top of the note. She grabbed a kitchen knife and snuck it up to the roof.
She opened the door, and saw nothing but the dark night. She held the knife to her heart and was about to strike it through her chest when someone took the knife from her. She opened her eyes, not realizing she had shut them. "What are you doing?" a farmiliar voice asked. "Red X… I am killing myself. I no longer wish to live. Robin has already killed all of my emotion." She said, sadly. He took the knife and let it glisten in the moonlight and then put a hand to his chin, deciding what to do with it.
"If you are deciding if you should kill me, go ahead and do it. I do not care. I already told you I no longer wish to live." She told him. He took the knife as if he was going to strike her in the chest and then threw it over the edge of the tower.
Starfire's eyes glistened with tears. "You shouldn't kill yourself. You should pretend to do it and then everyone will think you're dead. Meanwhile you just ran away." He whispered. Starfire shook her head and said, "Any life without Robin would be a dead life. A life with no emo-" she was cut off by someone's lips connecting with hers. Red X slipped his tongue into her mouth, then after a few seconds of fun, pulled away. He quickly pulled his mask back down.
"You really think a life with me would be emotionless?" he asked. Starfire was shocked. Was he saying he loved her? Was he saying that he wanted her to live with him? But then she realized that it was both. "Yes… No… I don't know." She said. "Maybe you should try it… just for a day. How does it sound?" he offered.
Starfire thought it over. 'Well, I'll try anything once… Who knows, maybe he'll replace this broken heart with a love filled one.' She thought. "I guess." She said. He smiled. "Come on…" he said.
