Hey everyone! I am starting a new chapter story and will be a good one this time! I won't be able to update regularly, however, but I will try my best. I am going to delete Unexplainable Love and maybe Bitter Rose, I am not sure yet. For those of the authors whose stories I read and review, I am sorry I can't as I have lots to do now. I hope you all understand. Please review and tell me if you like the idea.
Chapter One
Have you ever wondered it is like to be the only one in the world without a soulmate? I had never thought of it until a few years ago. I thought I had found the right one once I stepped foot on Earth. There was only one person who I thought was the one. There was only one person who helped me to understand Earth and its strangely ways. One person who made my underside roll; butterflies occupy in all of my nine stomaches.
That person was Robin or now known as Richard Grayson. I don't know how he made fall for him, but he succeeded. He always made me feel as I was loved by someone and as if I was special. However, I didn't win this time. It was taken by someone else. A someone else who stole his heart and kept him under her spell. A someone else who made me feel isolated, rejected by everyone, even my dearest friends. To say her name, it makes me boil with hatred and anger. She was who I thought was the ideal best friend for myself. Instead, she turned into a backstabber. She was supposed to be the one who should have been helping me confess to him. She was supposed to be supporting me all the way. Instead, she took him away from me.
That person was Raven or Rachel Roth. Yes, Raven, the person who was my best friend. I told her about my feelings about Robin and she promised me to support me. She told me she would tell him about my love. Nevertheless, she went to him and confessed her own feelings to him. He accepted them with great affection. He accepted her feelings! Her feelings, not mine! In fact, he didn't even take the time to listen to me.
Now it has been four years since the Titans disbanded. Four years since I saw Raven and Robin as Starfire. The team fell apart once Raven and Robin started dating, and eventually everyone started dating. Most of them wanted to settle in and have an ordinary life, which Robin agreed whole-heartedly. I have become a private investigator, which was surprising to me as I had no previous Earth education. True, I did have to go through a few courses for Criminal Investigation, however I aced every single one. Tamaranian education is at a higher level than in Earth.
Ever since then, I have resided in an apartment. It was a reasonably priced suite which I shared with a friend. The entire apartment room was a sunny nook decorating a soft look of pastels. It was fully equipped with a kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms along with two bathrooms. My bedroom has a single bed with covers of elegant peach and creme designs. In the left hand corner of my room, there is a computer desk with a laptop for my cases. There are two off-white night tables on either side of my bed. I just love the color contrast of the floor, wall, and ceiling of the apartment. The ceiling is pale blue with patched white spots, exactly like the sky. The wall is painted with creme and champagne gold. The floor, on the other hand, is covered with peach, almost orange carpet. The minute I walked into the carpet, I knew immediately that this was where I needed to start all over again. Even if starting a new life may soothe some worries, not every hurt in my heart can be healed.
"Kori, will you stop zoning on me like that? This is the third time this hour," insisted a red and black haired and red eyed young woman as she tapped her pencil on the desk impatiently.
"I'm sorry Toni. It's just that it has been four years since the Titans disbanded. Four years since I saw him..." I trailed off as I glanced at the picture on my desk of myself and Robin at the fair, on the ferris wheel. Victor had somehow caught a picture of us together on his arm. No doubt a memory I will always cherish.
Toni Monetti, formerly known as Argent, sighed, "You have to forget him Kori. He has already married Raven and they have a daughter. Why haven't you accepted that fact yet?"
Toni was right; I had to forget him but what chances are there I will fall in love again? Slim to none. No one else could ever take Richard's place in my heart. I replied, "No matter how I want to, I can't. I feel as if no one could ever take his place in my heart. Don't tell me already that you have already gotten over him."
Toni's eyes narrowed into slits. I could sense the venom in her eyes, the hatred in her body. "Don't you ever mention him again. Never, get it?"
Sighing I took her hands into mine, "Toni, he doesn't know how you feel about him. You should..."
"NO!" Toni interrupted with such a quick speed, I even forgot what I was going to say. "I mean no," she said in a calmer tone, "he doesn't even know that I exist."
"Of course he does. He talked to you on the night where every Teen Titan was at the Titans tower after we defeated the Brotherhood of Evil."
"Only then! He just talked to me for comfort and he never talked to ever again," Toni's face was disrupted once she put a frown onto her face, as she replied to my statement. I knew exactly how she felt as I also had the same problem.
"How do you know that he's happy with her? How do you know that he's only with her because she forced him to? How do you know he won't be happy with you?"
"I know he's happy with her! Haven't you seen them at parties? They are always in a hot and heavy makeout session."
"Why are you always so pessimistic? Why can't you ever have any hope?"
"How can I be optimistic when he said so emotionally he wanted her back? That he cared for her too much that it hurt." As if on cue, tears fell onto the table from her eyes. I really felt sympathetic for my best friend as I thought of her condition. I was the person who forced her to talk to him.
-Flashback-
My emerald eyes darted across the room where two young men by the glass window overlooking the bay were talking. I looked back at the average heighted girl beside me whose eyes were in the same location. "Want to go and talk to him?" I asked as I smirked as she kept her eyes on one boy. She whipped her head around and scowled at me.
"Who do you think you are, my mother?" she asked, her red eyes glaring at me with a menancing look.
"Argent, I am only asking you because you have been looking at him for a long time," I said, my naivity kicking in.
She sighed, "I'm sorry Starfire. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."
"Snapped? What have you snapped at me?"
Argent put a hand over her face, "I didn't mean it like that."
"Well, do you like him?"
"I don't know. I sense a spark between us, or is that my hormones talking?"
I giggled softly, "Go and talk to him. Maybe he will sense 'the spark' as well." I pushed her towards the two boys by the window and pulled one of them, Robin, away to let the two talk. I stayed on the couch to hear the two talk and pushed Robin to talk with Jinx and Kid Flash.
I picked up a magazine off the coffee table entitled, "Blonde Central", with a picture of Kitten on it. "Where do people even think of these names? Worst of all, the people they ask to model for these magazines?" I asked aloud.
From behind me I heard the two start talking. Argent started, "Uh-hi?"
The young man didn't seem very sure of what to do. He just replied, "Hi?"
"Um nice day?" Damn Argent, don't you know how to start a conversation?
"Yeah, I guess so," he said with a miserable tone to his voice.
"What's wrong? You seem a bit down and in the blue. You want to talk?" I shifted my seat on the couch so I had a full view of the two talking. The man was facing the window, just as Argent put a hand on his shoulder.
He turned to face Argent and talked to her face, "Well you could say I am heartbroken from the departion from a friend."
My eyebrow raised as he said this. A friend? Who is he talking about? "Who?" Argent asked, doubt evident in her voice.
"This woman, whom we fought in the battle against the Brotherhood of Evil, was my love."
My heart stopped one I heard this. Did he say 'love'? And she was in the Brotherhood of Evil? Seeing Argent's face made me so guilty, she was miserable, her eyes were round in shock. "Your l-l-love?"
"Yes. I was just talking to Robin to ask him if he was able to defreeze her. You know, she never was evil. She just had a rough past and was misguided...just like me."
"Rough past and misguided? Then why did you become a superhero?" Argent looked into my direction. Quickly I averted my eyes and looked into the magazine to avoid her glance.
"Just because I had a rough past, it doesn't mean I can't be a hero. Don't you have a rough past?"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY I DON'T HAVE A ROUGH PAST!!" I was shocked by her outburst.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you."
"It's okay. Anyways, go for it. Once Robin defreezes her, go and have the time of your life with her. Don't be afraid to tell her your feelings. She would be nuts to not accept them." I could sense how sad she was just by her tone of voice.
"Thanks a lot, I think. Hey, I didn't catch your name."
"Argent. Argent of New Zealand or Toni Monetti."
"Nice name. Beautiful just like you," Argent blushed once he said this, "I'm Speedy. Speedy of America or Roy Harper."
"What's her name?"
"Cheshire or Jade Nguyen."
"Nice name, must be as beautiful as she is. Go get her." Speedy smiled before he ran to where Robin was. Once he left, I looked at Argent who just glanced in his direction. She had never been so sad before, in all of the times I have been with her. What have I done?
-End of Flashback-
"Roy just doesn't know who to date," I said as I tried to cheer Toni up.
"No, he does. I mean what doesn't Jade have? She's beautiful, smart, witty and sly."
"Toni, she has nothing that you do. You are..." I was stopped by a wailing cry of what seemed like a baby from my bedroom, down the hall.
Sorry if it was short but I got to jet. Please review and so you till next time!
