Kari's Pain
Chapter 1: Secrets and Tears
The glass hit the floor with a loud crash. "GOD DAMNIT!" the already angry redhead yelled as she bent down to pick up the larger shards before sweeping up the rest. She placed the shards of glass on the bench and quickly swept up the rest and put it in the trash can. As she went to pick up the shards to throw them away she accidentally cut her hand on one of the edges. But instead of feeling pain, she felt relief, and it disgusted her. Even though it was after hours and everyone else had gone home except maybe Tory and Grant, she knew someone would be around back to see what the hell she had been yelling about and what the loud crash was, so she quickly rolled up her deep red sweater sleeve "thank fuck it's red" she thought, and quickly placed a cut along her wrist. "Dumb bitch" she snarled as she watched the blood rise out of the open wound. Rolling her sleeve back down she continued to verbally abuse herself "so fucking pathetic you can't even pull yourself together! It's been two years god damnit!" "Kari? Everything ok back here" a familiar voice spoke. "Umm, yeah Tory everything is fine, fine and dandy." She stated turning to face the brunette man standing in the doorway. "What happened?" he asked walking over. "Oh I just dropped a cup that's all" Tory knew that there was not a snowball's chance in hell that Kari "dropped" that cup. The crash was way too loud. She had definitely thrown it to the ground herself with intent to smash it. He quickly noticed her bleeding hand. "Kari your hand; you're bleeding!" He stated concerned. He immediately started cleaning it up, and she let him, she didn't know what it was but something about Tory's touch just made her feel calm, she often caught herself daydreaming about him, about how he always jumped to play protector whenever it looked like she might be hurt or in danger. Suddenly she realised Tory was talking to her "Kari... You ok?" Tory asked her looking her directly in the eye. Those eyes, made her heart melt. "Ummm yeah... I'm fine" she stuttered. "You don't look fine, you look really pale, and not to mention your random bursts of anger lately and you've been pretty distant. Are you sure everything is ok?" Kari could feel the tears coming so quickly turned her attention back to the glass shards, throwing them away as she spoke, "Yeah I'm sure everything is fine" Tory could tell she was on the verge of tears and grabbed her gently by the arm, right over the cut, Kari winced in pain although Tory didn't see this. "You know you can talk to me if something is wrong right?" Tory asked obvious concern in his voice. "Yeah I know, thank you" Kari replied as calmly as possible, trying not to let the pain show in her face. Suddenly Tory noticed that there was a damp patch on Kari's sleeve. "Hang on... Why is your sleeve damp?" Tory asked worried. Kari panicked and quickly pulled her arm out of his grasp. "No reason" she quickly stated as she rushed out the room, grabbed her bag and headed out the door. Tory stood there in the tiny kitchen they had at M5 industries. He was worried, really worried. Kari hadn't been her usual bubbly self over the last couple of years. She had been incredibly distant, got angry very easily and he was pretty sure he heard her crying in her office a few times. Not only that but now he had felt a patch of what he was pretty sure was blood on Kari's sleeve, she was in pain and he was going to do everything he could to help.
