*Flashback
"Come away with me Kori ,we can see the world together" Richard says.
"Richard, I can't..we can't we are adults now we have responsibilities" I say.
Richard looks at me sadly "I love you Kori, I want to spend every day with you, I want us to see the world together" He says.
"I love you too Richard, but I can't just leave" I say.
Richard looks heartbroken, he brushes my hair back behind my ear and kisses me with so much passion it surges through my entire body.
"I love you Kori" he says and walks to the door.
"Forever and Always" he says and leaves.
That was 4 years ago.
My name is Kori Anders, I'm in my sophomore year at Gotham University. I am majoring in radiology and I work part-time at a coffee shop. I live in an apartment complex dorm with the rest of the upperclassman.
"Kori! Wake up! Get your lazy ass out here or We're late for class", My roommate Donna and one of my best friends yells
"I'm coming", I say getting out of my bed
I brush my teeth then step into the shower. As I shower, I think about the dream that just occurred. That day was the most painful memory in my life it was the day that Richard left me.
*Flashback
"I'm not ready to run a company Kori, I want to see the world first, I want you to come with me" , He said.
That memory still haunts me 'Why didn't I say yes' I think to myself, 'Because it was reckless' my mind answers itself.
Of course I wanted to go travel the world with Richard, but I just couldn't. We weren't in high school anymore, it was my first year in college I got a full scholarship I couldn't just drop everything and leave.
I thought Richard would stay, honestly I did, I had now idea he would leave for 4 years.
'4 years' I think to myself but it feels like a lifetime.
I remember calling him the day he left over and over, going to Wayne Manor to see if he was there of course he never was.
All my tears and heartbreak, my family and friends trying to comfort me.
I remember 2 weeks later getting a letter
Dear Kori,
I am sorry for leaving so suddenly ….
I wanted… still wish you would come with me but I understand
I just wanted to let you know that everyday I am away I think of you
I love you Kori I always have and have I always will
I will come back someday I promise
I love you Kori , forever and always
Richard
I hold the letter in my hand and put it in my desk drawer.
'That was four years ago' I think to myself.
I leave my dorm room and go to the kitchen where my roommate Donna is waiting for me.
"Finally, what were you doing in there?", Donna ask.
"I just overslept that's all", I say and grab a banana from the fruit bowl "C'mon let's go", I say.
We then leave our apartment style dorm and go to our psychology class.
"So did you review for the test today?", Donna ask.
"Of course", I say although I only studied for a bit until my boyfriend came over.
That's right boyfriend as if on cue he walks into the classroom.
"Hey there cutie", Xavier says kisses my cheek and sits next to me.
"Hi", I reply and smile.
I think about the first time I meet Xavier, he was a total asshole to me until we had dentition together. He actually apologized to me during the years we eventually became friends. At first Richard didn't like it but, after seeing how Xavier had changed he began to warm up to him a bit. Although they were never as close as they were before it was nice that they were at least friends.
When Richard left, Xavier was one of the first's ones to comfort me. As we began spending more and more time together my feelings for him began to grow. Xavier had always had feelings for me so naturally we began dating.
"You ok?", Xavier says and looks at me worried.
I snap back to reality, "Yea..just nervous about the test that's all", I say and smile.
"All right class let's begin , you have until the end of class to finish this test",The Professor says.
The professor passes the test back and students begin to take them.
"Good luck", Xavier says and winks.
"You too", I say and smile.
I look at the test and so far its pretty easy my mind begins to wonder about the dream I had.
Deep down in my heart I knew that I would never be over Richard, and the dream I had today proved it.
I knew I had to move on and although I do care and have feelings for Xavier, and he cares to me I know he could never replace Richard.
I finish my test the same time as Donna and as I leave I see Xavier waiting outside the classroom.
"See you two later", Donna says and walks away.
"So do you want to go to the mall since we have a two-hour break today?", Xavier asks.
"Sure!", I say since I absolutely love shopping.
Xavier and I leave the science building and go to the parking lot.
We get into Xavier car and we drive to the mall.
I get out the car excitedly ,"C'mon let's go!", I say and grab Xavier's arm and drag him toward the mall.
We go to Forever 21 and I immediately grab some clothes to try on. I then go to the dressing room and try some of the clothes on while Xavier waits outside.
"What do you think?", I ask spinning around in blue dress with lace sleeves.
"You look good Kori, you always do" ,Xavier says.
I decided to buy the dress and a couple of skirts and tops.
Xavier and I go to the food court and eat at the burger restaurant in the food court.
"Hi, how can I help you?", the waitress ask as she approaches our table.
"One chocolate shake, and one zoraberry shake" Xavier says.
The waitress nods and goes to get our drinks.
"Everything ok Kori?, you seem a bit distracted?" Xavier ask.
"No..i'm fine", I say 'Except that I keep having flashbacks about Richard again' I think to myself.
"Ok.. well you know you can talk to me about anything right", Xavier reaches over and grabs my hand.
"Of course", I say and smile.
The waitress brings us our shakes and takes our food orders.
As we get our burgers and fries I immediately reach for the mustard.
Xavier chuckles, "I'll never understand why you like mustard so much" ,Xavier says teasingly.
I smile ,'Richard understood' I think to myself.
After we eat, we leave the mall and go back to the university.
"See you later cutie", Xavier says and kisses me
I feel the kiss and his emotion behind it but, I only give him about half of my emotions into the kiss.
"Bye Xavier", I say.
I walk into my history class feeling content 'Why am I thinking about Richard so much, Xavier is a great guy' I think to myself though I already know the answer.
'Because you still love him' I think to myself.
I focus on my history class and take notes.
Before I know it the bell rings.
'Thank goodness' I think to myself.
After my last class I go back to the dorm and Donna is already there.
"Hey Kori! How was class?" Donna asks.
"The same", I say and go to the fridge and get something to drink.
"Oh, by the way you had a phone call earlier,what's the point of having a cell if you don't use it?", Donna says teasingly.
I laugh, "Whatever", I say and go to my room.
I walk to my room and pick up my phone I see that there is one missed call and one missed voicemail look at the caller id and it reads
Richard
My heart starts beating out of my chest an my stomach feels as though it will explode with anxiety. I stare and stare at the phone screen to make sure and it still says the same thing.
"Impossible", I say barely above a whisper.
