Carry Me Home

The soft sound of rain tapped the window by my bed. It was quite soothing, something that I hadn't felt for a while now. Rain was just what Jump City needed, too. This mid-summer drought that had captivated the city for too long. With a sigh, I rolled over in my bed to face the exposed window; the curtains had been previously pulled off to the side. I had somehow managed to wrap myself within my beige sheets, probably the result of tossing and turning in my bed all night. But my thoughts never seemed to go away, no matter the number of times I would resituate myself. But these days, all I could think about was Kori. Every feature of her was irresistible to me. Her soft smile, her blazing auburn hair, and those captivating jade eyes. And to top things off, she was sweet and funny, everything I was not.

I had always known of his feelings for Kori. That was really old news to me. But we could never become more than friends, although we are best friends. We went to each other for advice, someone to occasionally go out for some coffee with, or just to talk, we basically went to each other for everything. "Friends forever," she would always say, and I would continually agree. But we would never more than that, given that Kori already had a boyfriend, Xavier. Just at the thought of him, I began to cringe. She didn't even love him, but she was forced to. He was abusive, alcoholic, and unfaithful. Kori has even found him numerous times in their bed with other women.

I've told her plenty of times to just dump him, leave him, to do anything that'll get her away from him, but she can't. She's scared to and he knew it, too. He would hunt her down, beat her like never before, and do other deranged things to her. I don't know what his problem is and God only know why he wants Kori. Okay, that sounded bad, it's not like she's unattractive (because she is), but there are plenty of other girls out there. And he just had to choose Kori. My Kori. He constantly swears that he loves her and he doesn't mean to do the things he does to her. But afterward he'll go out the next night and cause some other kind of trouble. Does he even realize what this is doing to Kori? I mean he'll just--

KOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!!

Someone was knocking on the door to my apartment. The hammering caused me to jump out of my dream-like state. It was a good thing I was interrupted though; I was starting to get irritated. But, who would be knocking on my door at midnight? With a grunt, I got out of bed. I ran my fingers through my hair as I searched my room for a pair of pants. I quickly grabbed a pair of sweatpants and made my way toward the door. As I swung the door open, my jaw practically dropped.

"Kori," I breathed. Her fragile frame had been soaked from the pouring rain. Kori's usually bright face, was now clouded by a mixture of rain, tears, and blood. She was bleeding! I didn't know what to say.

"Oh, Richard, I am sorry if I interferred with your slumber!" I loved the way she talk, but why was she apologizing? She hadn't made any mistakes. Besides, I wasn't even sleeping.

"Kori, don't worry. Its fine, I barely ever sleep, you know that." I assured her. "What's the matter?" Although I knew what was wrong. This has Xavier written all over it.

As if it had been rehearsed, she fell into my arms. "I finally had enough."
