I shut the door behind me, hoping that Starfire will go back to bed. I decide to wait for a little bit before leaving the tower for good. I walk over to my desk. On it is a picture of the team. I remember when that photo was taken. It was the first time the team went to the park together. We were all sitting on a blanket, picnic food surrounding us. Robin h ad his arm around Starfire as he was giving her bunny ears. Cyborg was giving me a noogie, while Raven was sitting there with a book in her hands. I keep that photo on my desk, because it is the only picture I have where Raven was actually smiling. Those were the good old days. We didn’t have to worry about anything except crime. I was normal, well as normal as I could get. The only thing that was different was that Raven and I weren’t together. As I gaze at the photo, I realize that deep down inside my heart I have forgiven them. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire. I have forgiven them for all the pain they’ve caused me. Tears fall down my cheeks as I realize what I’d be leaving behind. All those great memories. But I know I have to leave, for it’s what is best for the team. This is how I can show them that I forgive them.
Now is the time to go. I pick up my suitcase. I decide to grab me some food for the road. I want to get out of here before the others see me. Otherwise it would just make leaving even harder. I walk to the kitchen and stop in front of the refrigerator. As quietly as I can, I pull out some tofu. I place it in a small bag. I pick up my suitcase. I am about to walk away when a voice stops me in my tracks.
“Hey, BB. Haven’t seen you in a while.”
I turn around, the color drained from my face. The kitchen light flips on. I find myself face to face with Cyborg. He’s standing by the light switch. I notice the grin is gone from his face. Quite the contrary, his face is as pale as mine. “C-Cy.” I sputter out. “What are you doing up?”
“Couldn’t sleep.”
“Oh.”
“Where do you think you’re going?” Cyborg asks. I feel my body start to shake. Don’t make this harder for me I think to myself in desperation.
“Away,” I say simply. I refuse to look at Cyborg. My heart is pounding.
I start to walk away, but stop when Cyborg suddenly bursts out. “Are you crazy?!” Cyborg asks increduously. “I still have to beat your butt on the game station. Come on, let’s play!”
I feel a part of me wanting to sit down and play video games with my best friend, just like the good old days. But I know I’d be endangering his life if I did that. I shake my head firmly. “I have to get out of here.”
“Aw, c’mon man! Just one game before you go?” Cyborg pleads.
I walk past Cyborg, a tear falling down my cheek. “I’m sorry Cy. I don’t want to endanger your life again. Take care. I’ll miss you, buddy.”
I continue walking towards the elevator. I stop when Robin’s voice stops me. I turn to see he’s standing beside the couch, Starfire beside him, a remote in his hand.
“Hey, Beast Boy you’re just in time to watch Wicked Scary 2 with Starfire and I.”
There’s a Wicked Scary 2? I think to myself in excitement. I loved the first one. But then I remember what I’m doing. I shake my head. “No thanks, Rob. I really must get going.”
“Please, friend. You must join us in watching of the Wicked Scary.” Starfire says.
Why would Cyborg want to play game station with me at 3 in the morning? Why would Robin an Starfire want to watch a horror movie with me this early in the day? Why isn’t Robin looking for Slade? All these questions keep ringing through my head. I suddenly realize what they’re doing. They’re trying to distract me to keep me from leaving. They are trying to remind me of all the things I love to convince me to stay. But I can’t stay. I must protect my friends. “Please, don’t try distracting me. I’ve made up my mind. I have to leave, and you all know it’s for the best.”
“How can it be the best if you are not here with us, friend?” Starfire asks, tears running down her face. I figure she told Robin and Cyborg. I silently pray that she didn’t tell Raven.
So much for leaving quietly I think to myself.
“Yeah, I mean who else am I going to beat in game station? Who am I going to argue with every morning? Who’s going to be my best friend?” Cyborg adds.
“You are a Titan. You belong with us.” Robin adds. “We understand if it’s because of the way we treated you, but don’t do this to Raven. You’ll break her heart.”
My heart pounds in pain. Not the kind of pain that I used to get from the others. But the pain of having trouble leaving. I’m struggling with a conflict. I am having have a hard time leaving the people and things I love behind. I don’t want to break Raven’s heart, but I don’t want to end up physically hurting anyone either. More tears fall down my cheeks. I decide it’s best to just leave. “I’ve already forgiven you guys for how you treated me. That’s not why I’m leaving,” I whisper. “I just don’t want to endanger any of your lives. I don’t want the Beast to take over me again. I’m so afraid it will. I don’t want to hurt any of you. Your lives are more important than mine. That’s why I’m leaving.”
I walk up to Robin. I hand him my communicator. “Give this to Raven as something that she could remember me by.”
I turn back around. I finally feel like it’s time for me to leave. I’ve lingered here too long. As I head towards the elevator, I feel the suitcase in my hand getting heavier and heavier with each step I take. By the time I reach the elevator, it’s so heavy, I can’t lift it anymore. I end up dropping it beside me. I look down at it and realize it’s being surrounded by black aura. I turn around and see Raven standing a few feet away from me, her powers still ready for use. I see a tear fall down her cheek.
“Gar, why are you leaving me?”
