I know that you guys loved my Mean Girls version but it felt so wrong to copy someone else, so I decided to do something that comes from the heart… I will definitely finish this even if it means: stop drawing…

Earthly Tears

Sadly based on a true story

Shhck, Shhck went the charcoal pencil against a page on Kory Anders' sketchbook. The young red-head violently scribbled some brown on the page, her fingers wrapped tight with rage around the pencil. She threw her pencil to the other side of her room, decorated with murals and a variety of photographs. She hurriedly searched for her smudging brush and started to smudge the outlines of her sketch. Suddenly, three drops of tears fell on the page, giving the drawing a washed effect. She paused to take a look at her drawing, a handsome young man with the most charming smile. A small smile crept up on her face but quickly faded as a batch of new tears poured out from her eyes. Kory shouted with all her might forcing all the tears to just get out. Her little brother Ryan rushed into her room.

"Kory? What's wrong?" the 8-year-old asked with worry in his face. Kory wailed louder then after a few seconds, replied.

"Ryan, everything is wrong! Mom leaving us for some old fart was wrong! Dad marrying Elizabeth was wrong! Katie getting arrested for stealing was wrong!" she struggled to say the next sentence but managed to spit it out.

"Being lovingly held in Richard's arms was wrong! Falling for that liar was wrong! My life is just…wrong…"

Ryan didn't know what happened but he knew that it involved Richard breaking his older sister's heart and he couldn't believe that he would actually do something like that. Ryan dropped his toy truck and climbed up Kory's bed to hug her. Kory buried her face in her hands while Ryan comforted her.

After an hour of telling Ryan the tragic story of her love life, Kory tucked him into bed and slowly walked back to her room. It was one of the worst days of her life. Kory had a sad childhood. Her parents got a divorce when she was only 10 years old. After that, her dad remarried but sadly the blushing bride was her Aunt Elizabeth. A few years later, her sister Katie was arrested for stealing Diamonds at an exhibit (pretty stupid, huh?) Everything went bad for each of the Anders and Kory knew that she was next. But everything about Kory seemed so perfect. She was tall, beautiful and graceful, inherited all her mother's looks (green eyes and red-gold hair). Kory was multitalented. She was part of the drama club and played the leading ladies of all the plays. She was also the best when it came to kids. She just knew how to entertain them without giving them a taste of sugar. Lastly, Kory loved to draw. She also painted but felt freer in drawing figures, portraits and cartoons. She loved the feeling of pencils and pens against rough drawing paper. The only thing she didn't like was Math. She hated everything about it because she was so bad at remembering the solutions. Despite her problems, Kory had the best friends she could ever find in Jump City, Raven, Tara, Gar, Victor and Richard who was also known as Dick. She had a crush on Dick and eventually they became a couple on the day Kory turned 16. Everyone said they were the perfect match. Everyone didn't know that trouble was going their way.

FLASHBACK:

The tipsy red-head walked through the large halls of Wayne Manor.

"DICK! Where hiccup are you!" she cried out with tears forming in her eyes. She felt tired and dizzy but deep down inside; she wanted to confront her boyfriend. But she never thought of confronting them while walking around drunk. After a few more steps, she reached Dick's room. From outside, she heard a girl laughing. Her heart felt as if it was gonna pop. Again, the laughter came back. She couldn't take it anymore so she opened up the door and slammed it to the wall. The first thing she saw was Dick and Raven on his bed. The tears fell, one after the other.

"Kory, I can explain," he started but was interrupted by Kory. She smiled at him, but it wasn't a happy smile, it was just a façade that covered up the pain she felt inside. She placed her hands on his cheeks and gazed into his eyes… probably the last time she'd ever do that again.

"Dick… I know…" she said with more tears pouring. She wiped them and continued.

"I loved you to death! We promised each other that we'd be faithful to one another. What happened?" she let go of him but continued to stare at him. Before he could speak, she started to rant again.

"Did I do something wrong? Do I annoy you? Do I look that hideous to you?"

"Kory, you're not ugly! It has nothing to do with you it's me---"

"I KNOW!" she shouted at him and shot him a glare.

"Well, it's over now, Dick. I'm going to forget about it and probably move on because this just sucks! It sucks to find out that the one and only constant thing in your life is finally drifting away…" Kory paused and just allowed more tears to flow freely. After seconds of just gazing at Dick, she turned to Raven.

"And you! You deserve the humiliation I spared you from! Everything that Rorek said about you is true! I don't know why I even saved you from his rumours!" she shouted. Raven was her best friend and best friends don't keep secrets. Kory knew that she had lost her best friend; in fact, she felt as if she lost everything dear to her. Raven already had Gar, so why did she need Dick?

Kory walked towards the door and slammed it behind her. She opened up her bag and took out a piece of paper. She felt like drawing but she knew that a message like this would be better in words. After signing it and posting it on the bulletin board hanging on Dick's bedroom door, she fled, leaving the enthusiastic crowd behind her.

Meanwhile…

Back at Wayne Manor, Dick and Raven exited the room. Dick stayed behind because of the note Kory had left for him.

I forgive you

, Kory

To him, it felt like a punch to the stomach… But it felt worse for Kory.

To be continued… Read to find out what happened and what will happen next…
