I’ll Be

Chapter 10

Robin’s POV

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbb

I stare after Starfire until she’s out of sight. I had only just returned from chasing down Slade when she came and yelled at me. Slade had disappeared, and I was too tired to keep looking for him. My heart is pounding. Starfire’s words keep ringing in my head. I can’t help but wonder what made me say that Beast Boy was not a friend. He’s always been my friend. He’s a Titan. He’s family.

I only wanted to protect the team. I wasn’t sure if the antidote was going to work. What the others don’t realize is, I was trying to protect Beast Boy too. The last thing I ever want to do is throw my friend, my fellow teammate in jail. I didn’t want him to unwillingly hurt anyone.

I find myself in front of Beast Boy’s room. I push open the door and step inside. I am amazed how clean it is. My eyes fall on the bullets in the middle of the floor. I am about to examine it when I see a note on the ground labeled “Robin” I open it up and read what it says.

Dear Robin,

First I want to thank you for taking me in and making me a Titan. I’ve finally felt like I’m part of a family again, and I thank you for it. I’m sorry I’m such a screw-up. I’m sorry I mess up everything and don’t take things seriously. I’m sorry for attacking you, Star, Cy, and Raven. Believe me, if I had control, I would never have. I’d rather die than hurt any of you. I’m sorry that I’m going to commit suicide. Think about it this way: At least you’ll have a burden off your shoulders. You can concentrate on the missions without interruptions. The rejection and cold shoulders the others are giving me is cutting me up on the inside. I can’t handle living another day with the emotional pain and guilt. Before I close this letter, I would like to wish you the best of luck in wherever life leads you. Tell Starfire you love her.

Your friend,

Beast Boy

I can feel tears running down from my mask. Starfire is right. It is my fault he almost killed himself. I was trying to protect the team, trying to protect him. I never realized how much pain I’ve inflicted on him. Star’s right. I should be supporting my friend. I should be there, protecting him. I decide to go to the hospital, hoping everything’s okay.
Five minutes later, I park the R-cycle in the hospital parking garage. I hurry to the waiting room. My face drains of color at the sight before me. Cyborg is comforting a crying Starfire. Raven is sitting in a chair, her head in her hands. I can hear windows break as her sobs echo the room. I hurry towards them, not caring if they yell at me. After all, I do deserve it. “What happened?” I ask urgently.

Starfire glares at me, and continues sobbing into Cyborg’s shoulder. Cyborg, however, looks at me, taking a deep breath, and tells me something that makes my world turn upside down.

“BB’s heart stopped. The doctors are trying to save him. They don’t think he’s going to make it.”

I suddenly feel dizzy. I fall back into a chair, my head in my hands. I’ve always refused to show fear; to show sadness, but I don’t care. I look up when I hear the door of the waiting room open. I stand back up, hoping with all my heart that it’s good news. I know that the team will fall apart if he doesn’t make it. Come on Beast Boy. Please live.
