I was drowning and it didn't take a genius to know I was mere minutes from dying. I tried to swim up but the tides tugged me down. All I could hear was faint screaming. And soon it would all be over for both of us…
I got up holding onto my throat as if trying to prevent water from entering my throat. I pushed over the large blanket and steeped into my walk in closet and picked out a pink halter top with dark faded jeans and black converse. I got out a bow and put it to the side of my hair.
My eyes were gloomy because of all these wild dreams. They were my past and I felt as if it was just a nightmare and didn't really happen. I had lost each one of my friends, once I finally found my way back to titan's tower it was empty and no one was there.
I grabbed my large purse and began walking out of my small apartment. I tried to avoid taking the bridge that was over a lake, I was terrified of swimming since that day. I went around taking a train to my work.
"First stop central Gotham square." Yelled a man over the intercom. I walked into a large building and saw a cruel sight.
It was Kaitlyn (kitten) she made fun of me all the time just because the fashion magazine chose me over her to model. "So if it isn't Mrs. Fancy Anders, you probably bribed the people here to make you a model" she began to laugh as she watched me walk to Toni (argent)
"Ignore her" Toni said as she smiled to me and took me to the back room
"Kori did you hear, the famous Gotham playboy is moving from Southside Gotham to here!" I saw her put on a dreamy face.
"Who cares he hurts so many girls hearts and he's shallow!" I pitied him, all the girls were famous he never dated a normal girl
"Oh come on Kori! I bet you like him too" I burst out laughing
"I don't love men like him" Toni gave me an annoyed look, every other girl was after him… but for some reason I was different
"I will never understand you Kori" she rubbed her temples as she gave a look of exhaustion of trying to change my mind but I can admit it I am stubborn some times.
Toni grabbed a magazine from a table near us and hugged it. I took it from her and put on a disgusted look.
"Toni get over him!" I said as I threw the magazine to the side.
We both walked to the elevator and went to the second floor. I sat at my station not only was I a model but I was also a writer.
"Kori I will need you to write about this picture" Toni said as she gave me a picture with a description on it.
She left and I felt my eyes tear up a little
Donna (super girl) loses baby in car accident
There was a picture with her crying and her husband wrapping his arms around her.
It was the end of the day and I passed by Toni's station and threw the picture to her desk
"Toni I can't write about this" she looked at me curious
"Why Kori?"
"I just can't" I mumbled before leaving I got into the elevator resting my head against the wall.
I got into the train and sat down falling asleep.
"Mrs.… Mrs.…" I heard faintly as I was shaken
"what.." I mumbled before finally waking up and being met by gorgeous blue eyes
"this is the last stop" He looked familiar
"Um...thanks" he walked me out of the train
"What's your name?" he asked casually as he walked to the bridge I stood there scared
"Uh.. Kori"
"What's wrong?" he asked raising an eyebrow
"I'm just going to go around" she said before turning around
"Okay well I'll walk with you"
"you look familiar" I asked
"You do too, but of course you're a famous model"
We were near my house "I never got your name"
"You really don't know who I am?" he asked looking puzzled
I shook my head and he looked surprised
"Well, I guess that explains why your not going crazy over me" he chuckled, all I could do was raise and eyebrow before I frowned and understood what he meant
"It's Richard Grayson" He saw the look on my face change
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes" I mumbled before I got in leaving him very confused
I sunk to the ground I had just had did everything I swore I wouldn't do, and I actually thought he was… was… good looking!
I mentally slapped myself NO! I hate him!
It was going to be a long time until I felt asleep because I felt weird now.
"Uhhh.." I said from my head ach I woke up to find myself on the coach and the TV on.
I looked to the clock and gasped "OH no! I slept in!" I got up and ran to the closet changing into faded jeans with a black stud belt with a black tank top and a large plaid head band on my head. I grabbed my boots and ran out the door running as fast as I could.
Sadly I wasn't looking in front of me to notice myself run into a man
I looked up apologizing and than saw him…
"It's okay" he offered his hand but I got up myself
"I still don't understand what's wrong?" He said as he tried to catch up to me
"I'm fine" I mumbled
"No your not I want to know, did I make you mad?"
"What do you care anyways I'm not famous" I snapped as I made him look a little frightened with my mood swing
"Wow you have worse mood swings than a pregnant lady" he said sarcastically
I cringed at that thought and he had notice
"first of all I do care your different than other girls once they see me"
"I need to go"
"Well I'll come with you were both going to the same place"
My eyes widened
"What do you mean?"
"They want to interview me"
I started walking away from him. But did that stop him no. he didn't get it that I wanted to be alone and cry after that remark of pregnancy
"I noticed you sort of get freaked out when I mentioned that pregnancy thing, you know I was joking right?"
"I know" I mumbled
"why'd you get freaked out"
"Listen I don't want to bore you with my sad stories, I think you get them enough from all your girlfriends" I said and I didn't say it sarcastically I meant it
"I don't mind listening" we had reached the bridge and again I refused to go on it
"Aren't you coming?" he asked me when he went half way and noticed I was walking a different way
"No" I mumbled before he ran off to my side
The rest of the way I had ignored him every question. I herd him say about that I look so familiar about 10 times, he kept saying my eyes looked like his old best friend. I tuned out the rest of the way.
Finally we were there the train had more stops since I was late
I looked to my watch and grew worried of how my boss would react. Toni once was late and lets just say one whole week she was waking up extra early to get muffins and coffee with her money for the whole staff and there's more. Kaitlyn just laughed at that.
"Central Gotham square… Central Gotham square" yelled the man over the intercom
I tried to walk faster than Richard but he ran to my side
"So this is Great Fashion Magazines" He said looking up to the tall building. I took this as an opportunity and began to walk off.
I sighed in relied after losing him.
"Do you always try to lose me?" I jumped when I saw him next to me… how was he so fast
"Uhh how did you do that?"
"Umm… I'm fast" he said rubbing the back of his neck. He had a secret.
"Okay..?" she said realizing him get all worked up
"KORI!" yelled an angry man
"Where have you been, you are late!" yelled a tall man
"Ummm…" is all I could say
"She was showing me around this great area" said Richard as he put a hand on my shoulder. I wanted to throw it off but I played along
"Yea" I played along trying to put on a fake smile
"Oh Mr. Grayson! It is wonderful to see you!" he said before grabbing Richard's hand and shaking it obnoxiously
"It's Richard!" yelled many girls before crowding around him. Kitten pulled me by the hand and pushed me out of the crowd making me trip
"Move you freak!" she said laughing as she saw me trip
"Oh Kori I will need to talk to you about that baby issue" I felt my eyes water up for the 2nd time
Richard had noticed and tried to break through but the screaming girls wouldn't let him
I quickly recovered and ran to the bathroom.
"Kori wait!" he screamed. I ignored and ran to my desk first grabbing a book from the drawer
I tried to make it to the bathroom but instead collapsed and fell to the ground next to the bathroom door.
I opened the book and looked to the first headline
Sandra Grayson soon to be daughter of Koriander, Starfire and Robin (they weren't married yet) under it was a sonogram (pictures of baby in stomach)
Robin wouldn't tell Starfire his real name until they were married so Starifre did the same.
But the accident happened before they could get married or have the baby.
Kori felt someone sink to her side she didn't open her eyes until she heard a gasp
"starifre?"
Next chapter…
"Your starfire?"
"I won't forgive you"
"You lost her didn't you, you lost Sandra"
