OMG I haven't updated this in FOREVER! I'm sooooo sorry! I just kinda lost the plot… heh… but I'm back, and this is the last chapter!!

Terra smiled at her best friend in front of her.

Kori was in a beautiful white dress, smiling like there was no tomorrow.

And yet there was that nagging in her mind…

Leave him…

He proposed!

But he hit you.

And apologised!

Are you going to accept that little thing?

'Koz, I'm gonna go, gotta get everyone seated and X to stop jumping and you know, see you out there girl, you look gorgeous.'

Kori smiled and watched her leave.

'Psst… Kori?'

Kori turned her head and saw Shaun sneaking in the room. She nearly fainted.

'What're you doing?'

'Getting married!' she argued.

'To Xavier? He hit you Kori, deal with it. Leave him!'

Kori opened her mouth to speak, but found no words. She looked away. Shaun tilted her head up to see her.

'I can't,' she whispered.

'Kori, you can, he's evil.'

'No he's not! I love him!'

'But you don't! He's an evil sod and you know it!'

'Lola needs her daddy!' she cried in desperation.

'Mummy… are you okay?' called a timid voice.

'I'm fine sweetheart, come here,' Kori answered.

Shaun leant down and whispered in Kori's ear.

'Come way with me, bring Lola, if you must, just come with me… I'll keep you both safe.'

Kori smiled down at Lola and took her hand. She placed her other hand in Shaun's.

'Lead the way.'

Terra checked her watch.

'Where is she?' asked X.

'I'm going to check on her,' Terra answered, going into the dressing room…

…only to find it empty. She found a piece of paper and read it.

I can't marry X. He hit me before, who is to say he won't again. Phone me if you wish, but I cannot guarantee I'll answer. I've taken Lola with me. And now I'm going to be repeat our action's Terra, and run. Run from the world.

Arms encircled her waist. She turned and cried into Richard's chest.

'How're we gonna tell X?'

'I don't know, babe, but I can tell you now that whatever happens, I'll be here for you. Kori will come back when she's ready, but for now, we need to relax, and sort out our messed up lives.'
