Bethany Ford - A Young Justice Novel (Robin/Dick Grayson Romance) [Completed]

Chapter 29: The Boy with the Dark Hair

Hi guys! Sorry it took a week, you can't really blame me. Training at the Batcave alongside Batman while attending Gotham Academy and attempting (emphasis on the attempting) to have a social life is pretty hard to balance and manage to write a whole novel. It also doesn't help that Batman never lets me on breaks, so that's also pretty tough.

^Wow that was a lot and I FREAKING LOVED IT > By they way, if I don't respond to your comments, it's probably because I read them, but I would just be commenting back like one word like "thanks" and I would be writing that like 27 times. So... Yup I'm a lazy author (as you can tell with the amount of time it takes me to update) but yeah.

I would savor this one... The next one may not come in a while...

Bethany's POV

        My legs burned as I skipped two steps at a time. The long staircase seemed to go by me in a blur. I couldn't focus on anything except for the one image. The picture of a boy with dark hair that hung around his face. Tears brimmed at my eyes and I missed a step, and before I could face-plant onto the rough concrete stairs, my hands reached out and caught myself. My palms and knees were scratched up, and I could see the dots of red that form before a wound starts to drip with blood. But I didn't care. I couldn't think. I needed air.

        I burst through the door and was met with intense sunlight and light wind. It was clearer up here. I decided against going to the cave because I knew he would find me. He would know that I would go there. After all, it was my only home. I didn't have anywhere else to go. So I came to the roof of the school.

        I had changed into my uniform, although I had to redo the buttons on my blouse three times before I finally got it right. I didn't even tighten my tie all the way. It just hung limply around my neck. I couldn't even french braid my hair again. My hands were shaking so badly.

        I moved to the railing at the edge of the building. I looked down. The only thing keeping me form falling down the five story building was the sturdy metal railing. Deep down, I kind of wished that it wasn't there to keep me from going over.

        It was quiet here. I could think.

        About him.

        Dick was Robin.

        No matter how many times I thought about it, it seemed so foreign. And yet, it was so obvious. Dick was extremely intelligent and loved computers. So did Robin. Dick loved to troll. So did Robin. Dick and Robin both had the same personalities in and out of school. He treated me the same, whether I had my mask on, or I was at school. How could I have not seen it sooner? It was so obvious!
