Chapter 7- Home!

Alex's POV

I groaned as I walked down the hall. Craig wanted to see me for some unknown business. I really wouldn't have cared if it wasn't FIVE IN THE MORNING. Let me explain. Today is Sunday, the holy day of rest, my day off. I wanted to sleep in, but of course why would something go my way? Ah, don't mind me I'm just pissed cause Craig couldn't have waited until morning. I looked up and saw my mind brought me to the hall his room was on.

I finally got to the door and rose my hand to knock, but before I could the door opened slightly and pulled me in and closed the door.

"What the hell?" I demanded. First he makes me get out of bed and then drags me full force into the room.

"Shushhhh" said Craig right after he slapped his hand on my mouth. I could barely see him in the dim light. Only the two lamps by his bed were on. He looked me seriously in the eyes than released his hand from my mouth.

"What do you want? I told Kori I would be back in 10 minutes and it took me 7 to waddle myself down here. Geese I had a busy day yesterday." I hissed back quietly.

"Sorry but the girls can't know about this Alex, okay?" replied Craig. Crap he used my full name. This must be serious.

"Oh-Kay," I replied slowly trying to see his facial reactions."Wait why can't I tell the girls? If Kori knows something's up than she will dig it out of me."

"Because it's about Kor and if you tell Collins, she'll tell Kor because of their 'Girl-Code' thing."

"Okay fine know what's up?"I asked.

"The Titians are getting warmer on their scavenger hunt and Beast (AU-BeastBoy) caught one of her old sent in downtown and are tracing it close to here." Craig spoke. I put my hand on my head and walked over to the bed and sat down. So Kor would have to face them for the first time in a long time. I only had one question to ask.

"What time will they be arriving?" I asked.

"Well yesterday they found one of her sent at the mall, so if they find their way to us it wouldn't be until around next week by the time they kick up their curage." said Craig. I nodded and left the room. I headed to the training room. I practically ran down the hallways until I finally found it.

I turned on the lights and closed the door behind me. I took off my shirt which left me in my baggy sweats. I wrapped some tape around my knuckles and walked over to the punching bag.

I raised my arms and got in a ready position. Then I attacked letting all my anger run free. I stared to think…..

How am I supposed to keep that from Kor?

When she finds out she's gonna kill me.

What if she gets mad at me and wants to go back with them?

What if she doesn't go but still gets totally upset with me and wants to leave me?

And the worst question of all…..

What if she loves him? Seeing him again might change her heart. I mean let's face it he is the 'Boy Wonder' and I'm just Alex with a made-up name.

What am I thinking! She married me right? She committed herself to me. She wouldn't just leave. She loves me. And I love her. But what if I'm wrong and, and she doesn't love me.

'Stop downing on yourself man! Our relationship is fine!' I told myself. But I still couldn't hide the hint of doubt in my voice.

"What did he do?" said a soft voice from behind me. I stopped punching and turned around only to see Kori's concerned and upset expression. I looked her over. She wore one of my old tee shirts with cotton shorts. I noticed her hair in a bun instead of down, which was unusual. Then I came back to reality.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Whenever you're upset or sad you come down here and beat that poor bad up. So I'm going to ask again. What did he do?"She put her hands on her hips and stared me down. Crap.

"Nothing, babe, let's just go get some rest okay?" I said walking over to her and slipping my arm over her shoulder.

"Please don't treat me like I'm stupid. I know something is wrong and I will find out, but I'll let it go since today is a special day." She looked up at me and gave me a quick smile. What was today? Let me think….Oh, It's when I proposed to her a few months ago. Ah.

"Well that does sound like a celebration is needed tonight." I looked down and smirked.

"Oh no, NO DRINKING. I can't have you on a hangover while meeting my family." She stated.

Oh crud I almost forgot! We're leaving to Tamaran tomorrow and will be gone for a week at the most. So then the Titians might be here when we come back.

Kori POV-(Next morning)

Oh my gosh I think I just might pee myself! I'm so excited to go back home and reunite with my family. And I'm also excited for them to meet Alex. I know they'll like him, I mean my Father might not like Alex's humor, but I love Alex so he should too.

At the moment I'm packing all of my necessities for the trip. I was actually supposed to be on the space shuttle 10 minutes ago, but hey, a girl needs her time. Anyways Alex is currently waiting in the shuttle at this moment for me because he was smart and packed last night. Well unfortunately I couldn't pack last night because 'Vampire Diaries' was on and I needed to make sure Damon didn't get hurt or die yet. Like really what's with all of this love triangle crap? Elena should just pick one boy and go! She's turning into Catherine! Wow I guess I drank a bit too much coffee this morning. Opps.

I wonder how Alex is doing with going to Tamaran for the first time in, well, forever. I could tell he was nervous last night. He didn't really say much at all last night. Poor boy. And then when we get there my dad will just add on the pressure.

I sighed and pick up my purse and dragged my suitcase with the wheels down the hall.

Alex POV-

Oh my god I think I'm gonna puke! Why did I agree to this! Wait I didn't even have a say! It was just "Well, hun, by the way we're going to Tamaran this week so pack your bags later. I love you!" I can't believe that chick can make me do almost anything. And I repeat ALMOST.

But still what if they don't like me? Or what if they don't agree to me because I haven't lived on Tamaran before? Well I guess we're just going to have to find out. I looked at my watch to fing it was 10:33. Oh crap we're gonna be late! Where is she? I looked out the shuttle window to see Kor trying to run with heels on not to mention carrying like seven bags. Oh this is going to be fun. Well I would get out and help her but it looks like Emilee and Cameron, some flight attendants, are helping her out. I wouldn't want to get in their way.

A few minutes later she came sprinting down the tiny hall with her heels in her hands. Soon enough she plotted down next to me like she ran a marathon.

"I told you that you should've packed before." I said.

She looked over at me with a glare."Ha,ha,ha. Alex, shut up."

Oh no she's feisty today haha that's okay I'll get her out of that mood.

"Sorry, Cat, just stating the facts. Anyway so teach me the fam." I say just before the pilot came on air.

"Okay guys now that we got Kori we'll take off so please buckle up until you see the green light. Thank you." said John.

I looked back to Kori.

"Wow, you haven't called me Cat in a long time. But anyway so my family, well let's start with the immediate." She said.

"There is my Dad, Joe'shsian, but we call him Joe. Then there are my sisters Kalliand'r and Komiand'r and my brothers Ryanand'r and Timand'r. We call them Kalli, Komi, Ryan, and Timi. I'm the middle child as Komi and Timi are older than me, and Ryan and Kalli are younger." She told him.

"Okay, how can I tell between you're siblings?" I asked.

"Well Kalli is supper sweet and bubbly so you couldn't miss her. Komi has black hair and is ignorant. Timi is the up-tight older brother who is very strict around most people except Kalli and me." She was interrupted by me.

"And why is that?"I asked.

"I'm not exactly sure but he diffidently has a soft spot for Kalli and me. And then there is Ryan whom I will treat like a child so don't freak if I start babby talk because I'm used to him as a little kid. I think now he will be 19. Um Timi is 25, Komi is 23, and little Kalli is 17." She stopped with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Any previous boyfriends I should know about?" I asked in a playful tone.

She looked up and replied."No, but I did has this best-friend named Carsonhua'f , um well Carson. He was like my bbf as well as Samirei'd and Coles'onn. We were like four banshees." She ended.

"Okay so is that all?" I asked yet another question.

"Yupe, I guess so. Could you put the middle armrest up? I want to lay down and get some rest for the next-" she paused looking for a word" interesting hours." She as I finished putting up the armrest.

"Okay ,babe, sweet dreams." I said before her eyes fluttered closed.

'Maybe this won't be so bad after all.", was my last thought as I fell into a dream state as well.

(4 HOURS AND 14 MINUETS LATER)

STILL ALEX POV-

"Alright kids! We'll be landing in about seven minutes!" said John through the speakers.

Oh that's wonderful waking up to surround sound yelling of John.

I stretched my arms and opened my eyes only to find Kori still asleep. I nudged her a bit until she finally opened her eyes.

"What?"she asked as she got up.

"Well darling we will be boarding on Tamaran in," I checked my watch. "five minutes."

She stared at me wide-eyed before replying." Oh my god! I have to check my hair and makeup! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" She didn't yell but asked loudly.

Before I could reply she ran to the back of the ship.

By the time she got back we were just about to get off. I grabbed some of the bags as did some flight attendants. As the steps dropped Kori ran down them before they even stopped.

I looked before me to see about 200 yards away there was a low fence with what I think all of Tamaran on the other side of it. Then I saw a couple of people on this side of the fence that I think is her family.

I was on my way over to Kori engulfed in some guys deep grip.

"Carson!" Kori smiled as they pulled away.

Guys I am so sorry for the weight! I just graduated and was about to finish this chapter when my computer fell so I lost everything! I'm so sorry I hope this won't happen again. Thankyou for being patient! ~Kbaby
