Chapter 3:
Tara stood up and started walking away from the house. She didn't care if she was wearing night clouths, no one was up. Her arms hugged her thin sides, her head hung with a sea of blonde hair covering it.
She walked on, thinking, no arguing with herself. She was torn, she had two people inside her yelling back and forth. Their was no compermise between the two, she had to choose one over the other. They where too diffirent to settle on somthing together.
Her shoes sunk into the sand, allowing her shoes to fill with the tiny pieces of earth. Tara looked up, over in the middle of the lake stood a ten story tower, hard to miss. In there lived five super teens and good friends.
Small mock waves pushed themselves up higher on the shore leaving a trail of wet brown sand as they left. Her chest puffed up as she took in a deep breath of the sweet air. Tara held her breath, staring at the large tower, it held more then just great friends, and it held someone she still held close.
What did I tell you? you still, no wait I better spell this out for you. L-O-V-E a certain G-R-E-E-N T-E-E-N The voice would have gone on if Tara hadn't stopped it.
I get it okay! Fine I admit it! I lik-
Love
Fine! LOVE him! Happy! That doesn't mean I can go back, that means I want something I can't have. All I would dois hurt him-
Afraid you might hurt him again? Girl! What do you think you did to him again already?
That's the point; all I do is hurt him. I don't want to put him through that pain again.
Too late, all you are doing is hurting him, you can change that, why do you choose to keep hurting someone like him?
Tara didn't answer; she hung her head once more and let the breath out in a sigh. Terra was right, why did she keep hurting him? She looked back up at the tower once more, her hair parting from her face. She had to make her choice.
Tara turned around to go home, and never-ever turn back to the tower, never look at the Titans again. She wanted nothing more to do with any of them. She would only find a way to hurt Beast Boy once more. No, that was all over. He would move on, away from her grip. Into someone else's maybe Raven? Well as funny as that would be to see she wouldn't. She would forget everything about the. Once and for all.
Beast Boy's head leaned on his open hand, his fingers spread out over the left side of his face. He watched the mock waves roll over the lake in the moon light. The others no doubt in bed by now, left him alone. They knew he needed to think all this over.
Maybe it is time to move on... grow up and let go of the past. He told himself, or the 'grown' up part of himself.
No! Why can't things just be like they where? Why can't she love me like she did? why can't we be like we where... why is life so unfair? He wailed.
Life's cruel, but it's our teacher. You need to learn how to let some things go, even if you don't want too. You want things to be like they where, but you need to understand past is past.
But haven't I loss enough in my life? What about mom and dad! What about everyone else who I have lost! Did life ever think about that!
You lived, you where strong. Now you have to be strong again, let her go, it wasn't meant to be. You know that, you know that you can't hold on to someone forever.
Beast Boy sighed and closed his eyes for a brief moment, trying to fight back the tears. Holding on to something for so long like love... it was hard to loosen the grip and let it slip away from you. But hadn't she already slipped away from him? Didn't she already run away?
Beast Boy stood up, it was time to go inside. Maybe, maybe he did have to let go. Maybe he would live on... Maybe. He turned around and looked up at the tower, his home. His life was a super hero's. He had lived through so much fighting, been exposed to so much more then a teen should. Been brought to his knees more then once, he had learned about the cruel life he lived. But no other but Terra had hurt him so badly.
He had never felt so bad then when he saw tears in Terra's eyes. He had never felt so good when in her presence. He had never shivered so much then when they neared their first kiss. Never had he felt more fear then when he thought she was truly evil. And never, never in his life had he wept over someone the same. He had never cried for someone like he had for her, he had never prayed harder to get Terra back.
But despite his pain and sorrow, despite his love and prayers, she never truly came back.
And for that, he should move on.
"Beast Boy..." came a low voice that sounded sweeter then anything else.
Beast Boy's ear twitched, he knew that voice, "Terra?" he looked around, then rested his eyes on a slim figure.
Terra, no longer Tara, She had one last battle, and Terra won. Her head was slightly hung, allowing the hair to spill into her face. Her hand rubbed up and down on her arm. She was shaking, afraid of the worst.
Beast Boy was shaking as well, she was back... oh please god say he wasn't seeing things! "Terra... is it-"
"Y-yeah, it's me... Beast Boy... I am so sorry... if you want me to leave, I'll go. I just had to say, I'm sorry." She looked down at the ground, afraid.
"Terra!" Beast Boy almost screamed but didn't, he ran over and grabbed her arm. Pulling her right up into his face and giving a beyond flirting smile, way beyond.
Terra's looked at him with wide eyes of surprise, but soon grinned and half closed them before wrapping her spare hand behind his head and pulling him into her, into a deep kiss.
Beast Boy was more then happy to take it, and return it. His hand let go of her arm and made its way behind her head, half way anyways. It rested on the side of her head, his thumb on her cheek where her scar was located. His other hand slipped around her waist.
Terra brought her other hand up and wrapped it around his neck, pushing her body closer. Trembling under his touch, she felt she was about to faint, her legs where weak, He was the one. She pulled back, taking a gulp of air before entering his mouth once more in a deeper kiss.
Beast Boy held her close, no gap was found between them. Like it should be. He knew that maybe some things weren't letting go. Some things no, some people where worth hanging on too until death you part. But no, not even that would keep him from Terra. Life was cruel, it tore people away from you, but then, sometimes it gave them back to you. Was this his reward for learning about life? Learning about the fighting and about growing up?
Beast Boy broke the kiss, and stared into her face, smiling. They where still close, their noses touched.
It took Terra a minute to open her eyes, and when she did they met his while she smiled as well. "Beast Boy... I am so-" she was cut off by him kissing her tenderly for a moment.
"Don't be." He whispered. His eyes scanned her face, noticing the scar "Wanna talk?" he whispered once more.
Terra nodded.
Beast Boy's arm dropped, though the other wrapped around her waist as they started walking over to 'their' spot at the rocks.
Terra leaned her head on his shoulder once they sat down, his arm still around her. She sighed, then started to spill out her side of the whole story, From beginning, to end.
But was this the end? No, this was another beginning, what she wanted, a fresh one. The past was still past, it still lingered over her. But it didn't have to ruin her life, she looked at Beast Boy, or his life.
Done!
