This is it. The moment you've all been waiting for. The final chapter.
As Kori dashed out into the rain.
"If he truely loves me, he'll come after me." The tears that fell from her emerald eyes went unnoticed as she quickly became soaked by the rain.
She ran.
She didn't know where she was running to. "He'll come." she said to herself
Her clothes stuck to her body.But she just kept running.
Richard just stirred at the spot where Kori ran out. He took a step forward. He thought
"Maybe I should..."
Rachel stepped out of her hiding spot and cleared her thoat.Richard startled spun around.
"Ah, Rachel! How long have you been there.?"
"From ' Are you sure you should be getting married'." she said
"Oh." Richard said turning back around. Rachel walked up next to him and after a minute she said
"You really do love her. Don't you?" Richard just look at her.
"Let's not kid ourselves.I see how you look at her and the way you two smile out of nothing, and I really don't want to be in a marrage based on a lie or pity." Rachel said
"Rachel, I'm-"
"No, you don't have tobe sorry." Then she smiled at him. "Besides I got my dream job, but it's in Tokyo.I thought I'd have to pass it up because I was getting married but now I see I can take it."
"Do you even speak Japanese?" Richard asked
" Watashi gakushiki sawagi nihonjin roku toshi mea ni." ( I learned to speak japanese six years ago.)
"Oh." Richard said " Rachel do you think we could ever jsut be friends?"
Rachel paused. she said. She then pressed her left hand on his left cheek and gave him a kiss on his right cheek.
"No, we can't.Thank you for everything." She said "Now go before you lose her.
"Thanks Rae." Richard said before running out the door.
Rachel called after him... "My name's not Rae!"
Richard ran into the rain pushing past the crowd.
"Kori! Kori!."
We don't have to try to think the same thoughts
"He'll come find me." Kori said stepping out of the rain and into the Green house.
"She'll wait for me." Richard thought running endlessly to nowhere.
We just have a way of knowin' everything gonna' be O.K
Kori sat down on the side of the fountain.She rocked herself to warm herself from the rain.Then a bright,white,light appered before her.The angel stepped out before her and said..
"Kori Anders you have completed your mission.Good work.Now do you want to live out the rest of your life before the accident? Or do you want to go heaven?"
"I want to stay here with Richard." she said " I want to love him. she fell to her knees crying. "I want to laugh with him and be with him, and see him smile at me again."
We'll laugh to we cry read each others minds
Live with a smile make it all worth while,make it all worth while.
Just then Richard burst in. "Kori!"
"Richard!"
"Kori I'm sorry.I do love you alot.I was scared.I was scared of hurting Rachel again,I was scared because I've never felt this way about another women ever.I want to be with you forever.I want to spend the rest of my life with you.Kori, there's always that one that will always have your heart and you never see it coming cause you blinded fron the start.That person takes you to places you can only dream of going, and there's always going to be something I want to do like go on a safari or bungee jump or whatever butI won't accomplish anything if I don't do it with you.I love you." Richard said
"Richard, i thought I didn't know what love was but, then I realized...love isn't something you know it's something you feel.i was scared too.I was scared because every time i thought I found the right guy and turnedoutto be a lie.Then I started to feel something different, something special ,and I realized it was the real thing.Then I was scared that you didn't feel the same way and I was jealous ofRachel and wanted to split you up butI couldn't.Then something inside me said tell him and I did.Then when I told you and you said you didn't feel the same way I was hurt and started thinking maybe I was fooled again but i couldn't shake the feeling that it was real and now I know I was right.You do love and I love you."
Then Richard grabbed Kori arms and pulled her into a romantic kiss.
"Now we can ne together." Richard said
"Wait what about the mission?" Kori said. They both looked toward the angel. She said...
"Are you happy?" to Richard
"Yes?" he said
"And is Rachel happy?"
"I quess so, yeah."
"Close enough."the angel said
"You Kori now are free.You have the life before you died and the life after you died.I wish you luck." Then she stepped back into the light and disappered.
Life has moments and it's starting to scream...
Feelin' great and feelin' alive...
Never comin' down form here not when we're on...
Always know when we're gonna' be fine...
Feelin' great and feelin' alive...
Never comin' down from herenot when we're on...
The view is so clear and it's crazy out here...
Kori smiled and jumped into Richard's arms.
"Is this what you've always dreamed?" she asked him
"Damn straight." he said. They both laughed before pulling each other into another kiss.
"I love you." he said
"I love you too." Kori said back "Everything bad that happened to us is only a SHADOW of our happy ending. It's only a SHADOW."
Life is amazing with on the ride.
