Lies to Hide the Truth
"Well? Kori? Hun, what were the results?" Kori's mom asked through the door. Kori hurried up and disposed the pregnancy test, put herself together, and opened the door. A fake smile plastered on her face, "It was negative. Happy now?" "That is wonderful!," Her mother said happily, "I'm not ready for grandkids yet Kori, and I highly doubt that you're ready for a child. Especially not with that twit you call a boyfriend." "Well mom, you might just get your way, we're probably not dating anymore. I'm so glad that your days just get better and better mom, really," Kori said bitterly before walking off to her bedroom and slamming the door.
"What am I going to do?" Kori asked herself, "I'm not ready for a kid. Ugh, this is so fucking frustrating. Maybe the test was wrong? Exactly. I'll take another one tomorrow."
"KORI!" "What?!" "We're leaving, alright? No more boys over here!" her mom yelled with amusement. "Don't worry mom. Don't worry," Kori said, not really talking to her mom but to herself. "Bye."
Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" Kori asked into the phone, "Hey baby. Come to Victors party tonight, okay?" "Um, okay. What time?" Kori asked with a smile appearing on her lips, happy to hear her boyfriends voice. "I'd leave by seven, I would pick you up but I have to be there earlier and what not. So just come anytime after seven. Okay?" "Okay, well it's 6 now so I'm going to get off of here to finish up some things. See you in a little bit, Love you." "Love you, too baby. Bye" "Bye" Ugh, what to wear, what to wear, Kori thought to herself. Kori finished up her homework and got into the shower, singing "Angels" by Within Temptation. She got dressed, and started putting on her make-up. "Mommy? Mommy? Mommy, where are you going? Why are you leaving me?" Kori dropped her eyeliner and looked around her bathroom, "What the fuck," Kori looked around again, "Ugh, I'm going insane." Kori turned around to look in her mirror, and there was a child. "Mommy you look so pretty tonight." "Uh..why are you calling me mommy.." "Do you not remember me mommy? Why don't you remember me!" "I'm not your fucking mommy!" The child smirked up at Kori, and stood up turning into a man. A familiar man, the man was Richard. "You must pay for your mistakes, Kori." 'Richard' pulled out a knife and slowley brought it down Kori, who stood frozen in shock.."This is for the best, Kori...."
"AHHH!" Kori sat up straight in her bed, clutching her stomach, "oh my god." Kori glanced at the clock, 3:00 A.M. "God, maybe it is the fucking demon hour." Kori rolled her eyes, and left her bedroom to get a glass of milk. She knew it was just a dream, but it still scared her. Richard wouldn't hurt her over her pregnancy, would he? To save his reputation? To remain a playboy, instead of a father? "Ugh, Why am I asking these stupid questions! I might not even be pregnant for gods sake! Ugh I need sleep." Kori marched back up to her room, and her pillows and blankets greeted her as she fell back into her bed. Praying for a nice dreamless nightmareless sleep...a prayer that she recieved.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ.
Kori slapped her annoying alarm clock off the desk, "Fuck alarm clocks. Fuck Richard Grayson. Fuck my parents. And fuck school." 'I really don't want to face Richard today,' Kori thought as she got into the shower. 'But I really have no choice, all my classes are with him. Maybe he won't talk to me. Maybe he will be absent.'
An hour later, Kori walked through the school doors. Girls were looking at her and whispering, "I guess everyone thinks we broke up. Joy." Kori muttered to herself, pushing her way through the crowds to get to her locker. Kori was struggling with getting her locker open, Kori finally started to get it open when a "Miss Anders" popped out of no where, causing her to jump and let go of the locker door. The locker down slapped her in the face. "My apologies, I didn't mean to scare you," the teacher said helping her up examining her face. "Uh yeah, apology accepted or whatever. Can I help you?" "Well, not really. I was just wondering why you are tardy for your class?" "I have a shi- crappy locker, and I've been fighting with it since I've arrived at school. Sorry, but I need my books." "Yes yes, well I'm sure I can find you another locker. I'll excuse you for now, I'll call you down when I find a less-aggravating locker." "Thank you Mr. Brooks." "No problem, now go to class." "Yes sir."
Kori grabbed her books, and dashed off to class. Unhappy. This class was with Richard.
Kori walked in slowley, the teacher, Mr. Stats, was writing on the board. "I'm so glad you could join us this morning Kori." "Um, sorry for being late. Mr. Brooks excused my tardy, my locker was jammed." "Well Mr. Brooks doesn't have you as a student. Mr. Brooks is not me. I am not excusing your tardy. See me after class. Now sit down." Kori rolled her eyes, "Whatever," and sat down. When she passed Richard, Richard looked in the opposite direction of her. 'What the fuck.' Kori thought, extremely pissed now, 'What a dick.'
After 18 minutes of pure boredom, the bell finally rang. Kori was happy at first, thinking she was finally free of this class, when the "see me after class" played in her head. A huge frown appeared on her face. "See you at lunch Kori," Rachel yelled to her, "Have fun haha" "Yeah thanks Rachel, really," Kori said, causing Rachel to giggle before she left the room. "Miss Anders. I will not tolerate you being late to my class anymore. But, since Mr. Brooks excused you and is finding you a new locker, I guess I will allow you to not get in trouble for it. But after he finds you a new locker, you better not be late to my class again. Do you understand?" "Yes Mr. Stats, thank you" "Now go, I don't want to see you." "yes sir" Kori said rushing out of class. "Fucking prick" "Me or him?" The voice from behind Kori made her jump. " Uh Richard. Hi." Kori said, not looking at him. "Kori, look at me please," Richards voice sounded pleading and she could tell he was upset. She turned and looked at him, "what?" "I'm sorry for yesterday. I shouldn't have made you walk home, it was so stupid of me. You mean the world to me baby, and I don't want to lose you because of me being an asshole. Forgive me?" Kori looked at him, his blue eyes, and his gorgeous face. His eyes had dark circles under them, from lack of sleep she guessed. He looked so..depressed. It broke her heart. "Yeah, I forgive you. I love you." Richard smiled and pulled her forward by her hips. "I love you too baby. So much more than you know" Richard kissed her, it wasn't a heated kiss, but this kissed was so much better. She could feel the emotion, the love, in it. It made her shitty morning, so much better. She was happy, but then she remembered about the dream, the pregnancy test, the possibility of being pregnant. Would he leave her because of it? Or would he stay? He said he'd love her forever, but did he mean it?
She had no idea on what to do. For the first time in years, she was scared. Absolutley terrified.
