Chapter 44: Still

I really felt down. I had lost my girlfriend. She was the first one who had earned my trust. Maybe she wasn't for me. Maybe she just wasn't my friend at all. Maybe I needed to trust someone else.

But she was still my everything-- I needed to work my butt off for her.

Then a dark thought occurred to me. What if I rid the world of Neal? That's what made me leave. I still had dark thoughts, and I needed to get myself together. I needed to stop myself from locking myself away from the world.I need some time away.

I stuffed everything I needed in my bag. I wrote a letter to Taylor:

Dear Tay,

I don't get why you dumped me. I thought you loved me. You were the first person other then my family to earn my trust. I loved you with all my heart, I guess I wasn't good enough.

It wasn't my fault. I had zero control.

This guy named Shift, he did it. And he will pay for his crime. I'm going to find him. Make him spill it to your face.

I'll prove I love you. Still. And if don't want me back then, I'll be gone. You'll get to feel how it is to be lonely. I have been without friends for so long. I thought my you would be my best friend.

For a long time. You may have thought I didn't fight for you, but I tried. You've never been under the effects of a Corruption Serum, have you? I hope not. This time they made sure there was no turning back. At least without knowing of what Passion had been working on for the past two months.

With the help of Beast Boy, of course. I did all I could. I was just a thought in the back of my own head. It felt.. horrible. I missed you, and from what I heard, I'm not sure you missed me.

Don't think of this as saying I'm not your friend anymore. I still will be. I still have feelings for you. And also I'm not going to take too kindly to Neal. It's as if Saturn came back to haunt me.

Weird thing about that, actually. Shift shape shifted into him. I thought it was him. Funny, right? And don't think I'll treat you any differently. I still love you.

With Love, Maroon

I slung my string bag over my shoulder. "I'm coming for you Shift, you git. And you'll pay for taking her away from me." I said as I vanished from my bedroom.

I appeared at Taylor's house, and bit my lip. I walked up the path to the front door, and placed the letter down. I looked around me, and knocked. I heard foot steps coming down the stairs, and I vanished.

It's time I fixed this mess. Without killing anyone.
