Kory woke up to her alarm clock, memories of yesterday flooded in her mind and she had a terrible migrant.
She sat up and walked over to her bathroom, she fumbled with the medicine cabinet until she finally grabbed an Advil container.
She swallowed one and drank a cup of water, and walked back to the bed where she laid down.
"Kory!" an obnoxious voice rang for her ears.
She let out a moan and put her pillow on top of her head.
"Kory I hope your decent!" Gar said as he entered in with his hand over his eyes.
"Gar what are you doing here!" Kory screamed as she threw a pillow at him.
"I just came to remind you of the huge party tonight!!" He shouted happily.
Gar had dirty blonde hair with forest green eyes, he was the clown that would always brighten us up when we were angry or sad.
"I'm not going" Kory whispered as she played with a lock of hair.
He instantly frowned and saw the depressed look on her face.
"Did he hurt you?" He said… he knew her too well
"It's just a silly fight" she said forcing a smile.
"Kory what happened?"
"Nothing" she said, he wasn't buying it.
He let out sigh "Fine, but whenever you wanna talk I'll get Rachel on the phone" she began laughing.
"So are you coming?" He asked smiling, she let out a sigh
"Yes…" she nodded
"Good! Here's the invitation" He said as he handed her a card.
"I'll see you later!" He said before running out.
she let out another sigh and lay back down.
'Ding dong'
"Uhh!" She screamed before walking down the stairs.
'Gar probably forgot his keys again!'
She opened the door to see a bouquet of red roses on her door step.
She picked them up and shut the door. She pulled out a card
'Kory I'm sorry about last night, I'm leaving today to Gotham to talk to my boss about this, your right it's not fair…I'll be back by tomorrow evening
-Roy'
She didn't know what to feel…happiness…sadness
He wasn't going to be back until tomorrow, he was leaving again…
'Might as well enjoy myself as a single'

"Richard, where do you want these?" Vic said as he held the CD's that were going to be used for the party
"Anywhere" Richard said as he supported his head with one of his hands on the table.
"Wow, what's wrong with you?" Vic said as he took a seat.
"I don't know Vic… I met this girl-"Vic began laughing
"So, what's new?" Richard let out a sigh
"Vic…I'm serious, she was so beautiful, I've dated many girls but never as beautiful like this, and it's like we were meant to be together, I saw her twice today"
"Richard, once you meet another girl you'll say the same thing" Vic said as he looked through the invite list.
"I won't Vic, she was so…different"

((Evening 7:30))
Kory walked out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body and hair. She moved her hand through the mirror so she could clear the fog.
Kory looked to the stool in the corner and picked up her black dress, it was perfect on her. It went above her knee and had a halter top; in the back was a bow that wrapped around her perfect waist, and under where the bow wrapped was a small pocket where she decided to put her cell phone.
She let the towel slip off and put on her undergarments and than her dress. She un-wrapped the towel from her hair and began drying it.
"Almost ready…" she whispered, her red hair was straight along with her bangs, she had applied on faint pink lip gloss, blush, and light pink eye shadow.
She stepped back and starred at herself in the mirror, she used to dress like this for Roy but he never takes her anywhere special anymore.
Her smile turned to a frown when she remembered where Roy used to take her, carnivals, beaches, clubs, anywhere she wanted…until he noticed boys would stare at her, than he became so protective.
She sighed and slipped into black shoes, they were low heel since she was already tall.
Kory walked down stairs and had doubts of going, she wasn't in the mood.
She heard honking and went outside to see a black Mercedes parked in front of her house.
"Rachel?" Kory asked stunned
Karen, Gar, and Terra were in the back seats. Kory swiftly walked over to them.
"Thought you could use a ride" Terra said smiling; she had on a long yellow dress that had no straps and had small ruffles on the bottom.
Karen had on a light blue dress that went above her knees and only had one strap that went on her right shoulder. It had lace on the bottom.
Rachel had on an elegant light purple dress that was short, it had a halter top and a thin blue ribbon that was on the bottom.
Gar was in his Tux which was really odd since he always thought he looked like a penguin and swore he would never wear one.
"Come on girl, Vic's already there and waiting for us" Karen said as she motioned for Kory to hop in.
She opened the door and sat in the seat next to Rachel.
"So, Gar told me you got into a fight with Roy" Rachel said as she began driving.
"Gar!" Kory screamed as she looked over to him.
"I'm sorry!" Gar said smiling innocently.
"Well were not anymore" she said turning around.
"You know he's too stiff, he doesn't like to have fun!" Terra said as she played with her hair.
"That's not true" Kory replied as she looked at her through the mirror hanging to see Terra roll her eyes.
"What ever" she replied as she put her hair behind one ear
"When we get there I want you to meet someone Kory…somehow you guys look like you'll get along great" Karen said
"Karen I'm not looking for a guy…I have one"
"Do you mean-"Gar asked to Karen, but was interrupted by the loud music and blinding lights.
Rachel drove up the long driveway until she parked in front of a black car.
We all exited and made our way into the mansion. The place was packed and it was so hard to even move let alone breathe.
All her friends went running off to Vic and Kory could barley follow because of how crowded it was.
Kory was separated from her friends and was left to just keep looking around and watch other people dance.
"Let's Dance Garth!" (Aqualad) said a girl with red hair and blue eyes (Batgirl) Her boyfriend nodded and they both began dancing. (I know weird couple, but I didn't know who else to say)
Kory let out a sigh as she watched them, they both looked so happy and Kory envied that since she hadn't had fun like that with Roy since they got engaged and Roy was more protective.

"Richard!" Gar shouted as he waved his hands franticly in the air from the other side of the room to get his attention.
"Oh boy…" Vic said as he sighed.
Gar finally got out of crowd and made his way to where Richard and Vic where sitting.
"Hey, why aren't you dancing?" Gar asked Richard.
"Richard's got a crush" Vic mocked
"Cut it out Vic!" Richard shouted
"So….?" Gar asked confused, Richard had a crush every other week.
"What's her name?" Gar asked
"Look, let's just forget it" Richard said as he had an annoyed look on his face which instantly made Vic and Gar back off.
"I'm going to get something to drink" Richard mumbled as he walked away from them.
'I can't believe those two! There so annoying, I need support all they can do is goof off!' Richard thought to himself before he hit into a girl.
A small shriek was heard from the girl as her cup spilled on her dress.
"Oh no, I'm extremely sorry!" Richard said as he grabbed some paper towels from the bar tender.
'Great going Richard! Your so clumsy!'
"Richard?" Kory asked as he kept trying to erase the stain.
"Kory? What are you doing here?" Richard asked smiling yet confused.
"Gar invited me…I hope its alright" Kory answered
"No-I mean yes!" Richard said going all tongue tied. Kory just gave a small smile and looked to Richard's hands that were still trying to erase the stain.
"Richard…you can stop now, I'm dry" Kory said giggling as Richard went a deep red.
"I'm sorry" Richard said rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment
"Don't be" Kory said smoothly.
"Let me get you another drink" Richard said as he told the bar tender what he needed.
"Thank you Richard" Kory said as he handed her the drink.
The couple that was dancing earlier in front of Kory, came to the bar, his hand was around her waist and he gave her a kiss, other boys were eyeing her but he didn't care or yell at them and ruin their time like Roy would. Kory felt as if any moment she would explode in tears.
"Um...Richard, I've got to go" Kory quickly said as she put down her drink and vanished in the crowd before Richard could say anything.
Richard walked through the crowd before he was pulled to the side by a blonde.
"Richie-Poo why don't we dance, real quick? For old times sake?" (I changed it to Richie since his name is Richard…yeah… just keep reading the story, lol)( by the way that's kitten)
Richard looked at the girl and wished he didn't, she had blonde hair but that wasn't the problem it was her eyes. They were full of greed and not warmth like Kory's.
"I told you not to call me that" he said as he starred around to see where Kory went.
"Just one dance?" She pleaded as she put a hand on Richard's check to get him to face her.
"No thanks" Richard said firmly, he tried to walk away but she just grabbed him by the arm and into her grasp.
She wrapped her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Come on Richard, please…for me?... What happened to us?" Richard sighed, he hated this topic.
Kitten and Richard used to go out but Kitten wasn't the one for him, she was too selfish.
"I'm in a hurry…and I'm sorry Kitten but I don't feel the same way...at least not anymore" he said as he pushed her off of him.
Richard walked quickly away ignoring her cries for him.
Richard walked to the backyard where he saw Kory with her back to him sitting on a bench.
"Kory…" Richard said, she quickly brought her hand up to her eyes and wiped away some tears before she faced him.
"Oh Richard its you" Kory said trying to put on a fake smile.
"Look, I'm sorry if I did anything-" he was quickly interrupted.
"Richard don't say that, you did nothing except for make me happy tonight" she said.
"Why were you crying?" Kory tried to think of a lie to say but she felt as if she couldn't lie to Richard.
"Its nothing really…I guess I just miss the old times I used to have with my fiancé" she said looking down to the ground.
"fiancé?" Richard felt as if his heart was just ripped out, he never noticed the ring on her finger . If her fiancé was making an angel like her cry…how could she put up with him?
"I'm sorry Richard to bore you with my stupid stories…it's your party you should be having fun not listening to stories that make you sad." Kory said and he could tell she was trying to hold in some tears.
"Kory don't say that, I'm having fun being with you"
"No your not Richard, don't lie" Kory said as she played with her fingers.
"Kory I'm not lying" Richard said as he put a hand on Kory's shoulder.
Kory looked up with a weak smile.
"Do you want to dance?" Richard asked.
"I'd like that" Kory stood up and they both held hands as Richard led her in.

"Looks like I didn't even have to introduce them" Karen said smirking as she watched them both hold hands and walk through the crowds.
"Karen! Don't meddle into this! It's Kory's decision" Vic said
"Vic do you honestly think Kory's happy with Roy?" Terra said crossing her arms.
"No, but you guys gave her a warning, let her decide" Vic said, he loved Kory as a sister and he didn't want her to get hurt but he wasn't going to be the one to make her decisions.
Rachel arrived with a drink in her hand and took a seat next to Gar and Karen.
"You guys are still talking about this?" Rachel said as she rolled her eyes.
"Rachel come on, your on our side aren't you?" Terra said
"yeah I am, but I told her what I think about him, she'll figure it out on her own she just …needs some time" Rachel said
"Rachel's right" Gar said and almost everyone rolled there eyes, except for Rachel and Gar. Gar's had a huge crush on Rachel ever since they were teens and he always agreed with her.
"What?" Gar said looking clueless as Rachel began blushing.

"What does she have that I don't?" Kitten said as starred at the couple dance, she sat at the bar.
"Who knows?" Toni (Argent) said as she looked in her compact mirror.
She fixed her black with red streaks hair and closed the mirror handing it to Kitten.
Kitten quickly opened it to stare at her reflection and than back at Kory.
"I mean look at my dress" Kitten bragged about her pink strapless dress that was extremely short.
Toni's dress was a stripped black and red that was super short like Kittens.
"I'm prettier than her…aren't I?" Kitten said facing Toni who took a sip from her martini.
"Of course your are Kitty" Toni said smiling , Kitty was Kitten's nick name.
"I don't know Toni, I..I miss him so much, I can't believe he broke up with me, he was a great boyfriend…" Kitten said as she starred at the couple.

"Richard, I just wanted to say thanks, I'm having a great time" Kory said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Kory you don't have to thank me, I had a wonderful time being with you and getting to know you"
He said as he held her tight, he never wanted to let her go and was prying that she wouldn't have to leave soon.
"Kory I was wondering if we-" he was interrupted by Kory's cell phone ringing.
"I'm sorry Richard" Kory said as she pulled out her cell phone that was hidden in her pocket.
She looked down to the caller ID to see 'Roy'
Kory panicked if he knew she was at a party…with boys…with Richard, he would have freaked.
"Richard I'll be back in 5 minutes" Kory said as she quickly left to the front of the house.
"Roy?" Kory said as she walked a little farther from the house so the noise wouldn't be heard.
"Hey Kory, I'm sorry I left without telling you this morning, did you get the roses?"
"Yes, that was really sweet" Kory said as she looked back to the house that had flashing lights.
"Well I'm coming back tonight"
"You are, did they agree?" Kory asked happily, maybe this was the end of her bad relationship and everything was about to be great, just like old times.
"Kory can we talk about this when I come home?" Roy said
"Fine Roy" Kory said a little disappointed but she hid it
"Bye Kory, I'll see you soon" Kory hung up and walked back up the driveway to the front of the house where she was greeted by Richard.
"Is everything okay?" Richard asked
"Everything's fine" Richard smiled
"Do you want to go back inside we can get something to eat"
"I'm sorry Richard but I have to go, my fiancé is coming in a little while"
"Oh well maybe we can hang out another time?"
"Yeah, I had a lot of fun tonight" Kory said smiling
"Well I'll see you soon" Richard said before he turned around ready to leave.
Kory put a hand on his shoulder and he instantly turned around.
He was met by warm arms as she wrapped them around his neck, embracing him in a hug.
"Thank you Richard, I needed a good time like this" Kory whispered as she steeped back from his grasp.
"Bye Richard" Kory said to a speechless Richard
"Bye-" Richard said his cheeks blushing as he watched her disappear.
"Well you too make a great couple" Terra said walking to Richard.
"Terra…she's engaged"
"Richard, do you know that she's not happy?" Terra said
"I know she's not Terra but I can't stop her from being married" Richard said looking to the sky as if hoping for a miracle.
"You love her…" Terra mumbled.
"I…I can't Terra, she's engaged it would never work" Richard said quickly feeling annoyed as he walked back in.
Terra crossed her arms and looked to the ground feeling as if she couldn't help either one of them.

'11:30'
Kory quickly opened the door and rushed up the stairs and quickly threw off her dress. She grabbed her night gown and slipped into it.
She didn't intend to tell Roy where she had been tonight. She rushed to the bathroom and grabbed her make up remover. Once she was done she let out a pant and walked to the bed where she landed.
'this will be over soon, maybe the old Roy is coming back the one that spends time with me' Kory thought to herself.
'2:40'
'Roy where are you!' Kory picked up her phone once again to find his voice message pop up instantly, Kory hung up and lay in bed.
'where is he?' Kory thought to herself as she tried to stay up
After many times of trying to keep her eyes awake, her eyes finally shut and she fell asleep from exhaustion.
