The Winds of Change
Own Nothing/Thanks to all who have entered the contest so far...
It was the Wednesday. Next week would be the break of Spring. I was combing my hair when I heard a knock upon my door.
"Kori, Tim's flight has been delayed so she might not be here for awhile." Ryan told me.
"Is everything alright with her?" I asked, very worried for my small friend.
"Yeah it's just the plane, now hurry up." He said to me. I did the rolling of my eyes and left my home. I was walking down the sidewalk when a car horn did the beeping at me. It did the stopping right next to me. The dark window rolled down slowly revealing Rose, Joey, and Megan.
"Where are you going Miss Andah?" Megan asked me in the country accent.
"I am heading toward the school now." I told them.
"Well get in then. We don't want you to walk." Rose said. I nodded and got into the back with Megan. They did the dropping of me off and Dona met me by the front door.
"I thought Richard gave you a ride?" Dona did the asking.
"He has been very busy lately." I told her. She looked the puzzled.
"But he's been here for 10 minutes." she told me. That did the confusing of me. After Gym I caught up with Richard.
"Why have you been lying to me?" I asked him.
"I haven't been lying to you." he said trying to focus on anything but me.
"Dona told me you would have had plenty of time to pick me up this morning. We have not seen each other much. You seem the busy." I told him. He finally started to focus on me.
"Why don't we get dinner tonight? Just you and me." he did the asking.
"That sounds most wondrous. Where shall we do the meeting?" I asked him.
"How about at Ramonoes?" he asked me. I nodded. I had felt so distant from him lately. I was talking to Sarah later on at school.
"I love my new job. And I have a higher chance of getting into college." She said to me.
"That is glorious. My friend is coming from Japan to do the visiting of me." I told her.
"Hey, why don't we hang out this Spring Break? I'm dying to meet your pen pal." she told me. I nodded. I had missed Sarah a lot. She and Garfield were my first friends when I arrived in America. I walked home slowly. A breeze blew past me and I felt an uneasiness around me. Like something big was going to happen that I was not ready for. I walked in the door and Sam was there.
"Hello, friend Sam." I said to her.
"Hey Kor, I heard about your friend coming. Do you mind if I meet her?" She asked pushing a piece of her brown hair back.
"I would be most delighted if you did. I am wishing to introduce her to all of my friends." I told her.
"That sounds great! Thanks Kor, for everything." she said the sincerely. No one had ever given me the name of nick besides my father. It felt most nice. I went to my room and got ready to meet Richard at the restaurant. I skipped the merrily all the way there. I ran into a man with a coat of trench. I could feel him doing the staring at me. I ignored it because tonight would be the night I would tell Richard that I loved him. I went into the restaurant and talked to the host.
"Hello, do you have a reservation Miss." He did the asking. I noticed Richard.
"Yes it is for...." My heart did the crumbling. I saw Richard kissing Barbra. I had the tears in my eyes that did the blurring of everything.
"Miss are you alright?" The tall, bald, host asked. I shook my head in the horror. I ran out of there. I ran into many people and did the shoving of them out of the way. I did not know where I was going until I saw the beach. I crossed the street of busy traffic. If I were to be hit again it would not hurt as much as my heart. It started to storm when I got to the beach. I ran under a pier.
"WHY?" I yelled when the thunder hit. I sank down and did the hugging of my knees to my chest. I rested my face on my knees. Then I felt a small tap on my shoulder.
"Can I sit with you?" Timoko asked. I put my legs down so that she may sit in my lap. I could not help but do the crying again. After an hour there were no more tears.
"Why is it that the people you love the most hurt you the most?" I asked her.
"He was a fool to give you up. No one should ever let you go." she said to me. I looked down at her sweet, small face. It seemed so innocent.
"We should get you home my bumgorf." I told her. She nodded and I did the helping of her with the luggage. We got into the cab and went home.
"You could have gotten hit again when you ran across traffic." she told me.
"I know. How did you find me?" I asked her.
"I saw you running, and the beach is kind of close to the airport." she said. Her head was resting on my side. I did the rubbing of her side. When we reached the apartment I payed the man and we went up an elevator. Galfore did the greeting of us.
"Timoko, I'm so glad you made it home safely. Ryan why don't you help Timoko?" he told Ryan instead of asking.
"I take it your date did not go so well." Galfore said to me.
"My heart is the broken. He was kissing Barbra. And I still love him." I said. Galfore held me close to him and let me cry once more.
"HE DID WHAT?" we heard Ryan shout. Timoko must have told him what happen. He came storming into the room of living.
"Ryan calm down. Kori needs our support now." Galfore told him. It calmed him until my phone of cell started to do the ringing.
"It is Richard." I said very quietly. Timoko sat in my lap and Ryan answered my phone.
"Don't ever call again. You should regret what you did to my sister. Leave her alone." he said in a voice so menacing that Silkie ran to my lap as well.
"Kori why don't you take some time away from school. I'll tell the school an important visitor is here. I'll stay home with you tomorrow and Friday." Galfore said to me. I nodded and picked up Timoko and we headed to my room. She had fallen asleep in my arms. I laid her down in my bed next to me. Silkie curled up next to her and I fell asleep. (This scene was like a mother/daughter moment. And yes Kori is very protective of Timmy.)
"Kori wake up. Galfore made us blueberry pancakes." Timoko said waking me up. I sat up and did the stretching. I walked to the kitchen while holding Timmy's hand. I sat down at the table and started to do the digging in.
"Thank you very much Galfore. This means a lot." I said to him. After the breakfast, and after we got ready Timoko and I decided to do the staying home and watch the movies all day. My phone of cell went off when my school usually ended. It was Rose.
Where were u? She asked
I am at home. I answered.
Y? She asked.
Richard did the breaking of my heart. I typed. It still hurts so much.
GRRRRRR how? It said. I could tell she was very angry. Her and Richard did not get along well.
He was kissing his girlfriend of ex. I typed and then turned off my phone. Then Ryan came home. Sam was with him and ran to my side.
"Kori I am so sorry. Some boys can be idiots." she said.
"Yeah... Hey!" Ryan said. Timmy and I laughed at him.
"Who's this?" Sam asked noticing Timoko.
"This is my pen pal from Japan. She is staying with us for awhile." I said very proudly.
"I'm an artist and an advise giverer." she said. Sam and I giggled at my small friend. Silkie hopped up into my lap.
"My little bumgorf, why do you feel so heavy?" I asked him. He was a little rounder then normal.
"He keeps eating like crazy. He'll practically eat anything." Ryan said. I looked at Ryan very angry. He laughed nervously. I did sighing. Timoko cuddled up next to me when we resumed our movie. She adored Silkie. She held him close to her and he constantly purred. Galfore made us the dinner and I put Timoko to bed and went to talk to Galfore.
"Galfore may I talk to you?" I asked him.
"Of course my little bumgorf." he said to me.
"Even though Richard did the breaking of my heart why do I still love him?" I asked. He studied me for a moment.
"I'm not sure. There are just things in life we sometimes can't explain. But it will all make sense in the end." I nodded and headed to my room to go to sleep as well.
