Chapter 4: Boyfriend Troubles Part I

6:00 A.M (The next morning)

"Kori!" Garfield gasped as he ran up to her grabbing her hand. "Hello Garfield… do not worry I am fine" she replied after seeing the look of distress on his face. "Are you sure?" "Yes I am sure." "Umm…Garfield, where are Raven and Richard?" "Ummm…" Garfield said as he turned around. "I think they went outside to talk, they should be back in soon." "Well, alright."

  

Raven and Richard had gone out of the hospital and were standing in the parking lot. Richard needed to get out of the hospital for a little while and Raven needed a cigarette bad. She pulled the almost empty pack out of her coat pocket, lit it and tried to relax. "So, you needed to tell me something?" Richard said shakily rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I heard what you said to Kori." "Raven I-" "No, it's okay, I wanted you to know that." "Raven, I don't know what happened." "That's okay, me either."

  

"I can call Roy for you if you want Kori?" Garfield offered. "I already tried, he wasn't there." Kori said looking down in disappointment. "I'll try him again." Garfield said taking out his phone." "What's the number Kori?" "555-7639" "K thanks.' Garfield then left the room to make the call.

At that moment Raven and Garfield walked in. "Do you know if it might be possible for me to leave this facility any time soon." "I don't know Kori, I'll got ask.' Richard replied and then walked out of the room.

Raven sat down next to Kori. "Kori, Richard and I aren't seeing each other anymore." "What! Why?" Kori asked shocked. 'I thought she knew what Richard said, she didn't hear him?' "Things…just didn't work out between us, doesn't mean that they won't work out with him and someone else." Raven said trying to get her point across. Raven was very good at understanding people secret emotions, almost like a sixth sense. She knew from the moment that they locked eyes that Richard and Kori were destined to be together. "Yes I suppose there is someone for everyone." Kori said thinking. Raven sighed this was going to take some work to get Kori to realize that Richard was who she should be with not Roy.

Richard and Garfield came in simultaneously. "Kori, you can go home today." Richard said with a smile. "Great, and I called Roy, her should be here in a few minutes." "Alright I shall go change." "Kori, I brought you an outfit, so you wouldn't have to change back into your dress." "Thank you Raven."

  

Roy walked in to the hospital and went up to the receptionist's desk. "Hello, how may I help you sir?" The receptionist asked looking up from the computer she was typing away at. "Yes, I'm looking for what room Koriana Anders is in. (Koriana is her full name.) "Yes, alright let me see." The secretary typed in Anders, Koriana into the computer and look up again. "Room 27A, right down the hallway sir." "Thanks," Roy said before rushing off down the hall.

  

Kori came out of the hospital room bathroom wearing a light blue camisole and black flare bottom Capri pants with black ½ inch heel sandals. The spot on her left arm where I IV had been was still visible. As Kori came out of the room, still being weak from lack of food tripped and began to fall, but never hit the ground. Kori felt those familiar strong arms, the ones from the before, the ones she felt so comfortable in, the ones she wanted to stay in forever, Richard's arms. "Whoa, be careful. You're still weak." "Th-Thank You."

Richard helped her get backup on her feet just in time to see the door open. "Kori!" "Roy?"

  

Roy came in through the door and immediately rushed to Kori. "Kori, baby are you okay?" He had both of her small, frail arms in his. "Yes Roy I am fine do feel worry." Kori said sweetly as he captured her lips in his. "Are you sure?" he said looking her over making sure she was okay. "I got a call from Gar, and was so worried" Roy said capturing her lips once again in a, this time vicious kiss. Kori bushed him away and tried to catch her breath. "Roy, thank you for your concern, but I am fine as I said before." "Who's this?" Roy asked looking past Kori at Richard. "Roy Harper meet Richard Grayson." Raven said in monotone from the other side of the room.

  

"Richard Grayson, DA right?" "Yeah, nice to." Richard said holding out his hand, which Roy took. Richard looked down and saw Roy's arm around Kori's waist. Raven and Garfield saw his fists visibly clench. "Gar, get him out of here." Raven whispered into Garfield's ear, causing him to shiver from her breath. "Okay." "Yo, Richard lets go get Kori checked out." Richard looked over at Gar and Raven who had a similar face on, the one that says get-out-of –here-before-you-kill-someone. Richard walked out of the room with Garfield on his tale.

  

Richard was angry! Garfield ran down the hall chasing after Richard. "Richard, c'mon man chill out, he's her boyfriend." "I NO THAT!" Richard yelled down the hall. Gar finally caught up to him. "But she doesn't even like him." Richard said looking down. "I no" Gar said putting a hand on his shoulder. "What?" Richard said looking up. "I said I no, anybody could tell she felt wired with him." "Yeah" Richard didn't know how to feel.

  

"Kori, why don't you stay with me for a little while, just so I can keep an eye on you?" "That's alright I really do prefer to stay at my apartment." "Why? Come stay with me, I can have servants on you 24/7." "That is very kind of you but I am alright, really. Now I am going to find Richard and Gar and collect the rest of my belongings before I talk to the doctor and go home." Kori said before walking out of the room.

Roy turned to Raven with a look of anger on his face. "Okay, Raven who the hell was that son of a bitch?"
