Roy opened the door quietly to face Kory who was sleeping. He let out a sigh as his eyes rested on the clock next to her that read '4:35'

He undid the buttons on his white shirt and threw it to the stool in the corner. He stumbled into Kory's closet and picked up the last thing he wore when he slept over.

Walking over to were Kory was sleeping, he tucked himself in and starred at her.

"I'm sorry" He whispered as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Richard.." Kory whispered as her hand met Roy's.

"Richard?" Roy repeated his eyes looking at her suspiciously. He removed her hand from his and faced the other side decided to go to sleep.

Richard swept all the cups and trash that lay on the floor to a trash bag. His guests had finally left and he was exhausted.

He looked over to where Terra was spread on the couch because she had drank too much.

Richard rolled his eyes as he laid on the couch next to her, just as tired. He thought of what Terra told him earlier.

"Richard you love her! Just talk to her about this marriage, tell her to reconsider!" Terra shouted as she followed an annoyed Richard upstairs.

Richard swiftly turned around with his eyes narrowing.

"Terra I can't do anything about it! Stop asking me, I won't help you, find some other man for the job! Just Leave Me Alone!!" Richard shouted as he stormed into a room. Terra looked hurt at the last part and took it out on drinks.

Richard crossed his arms as he looked to Terra, he sighed knowing she was right, he did love her more than any girl he'd ever met but he knew Kory didn't feel the same about him.

He stood up and grabbed a blanket from the cabinet and laid it on top of her, he was to hard on her tonight, she was only trying to help…

"Goodnight Terra" Richard whispered as he shut the lights off and walked up stairs to his room.

( just so some people don't ask me in my reviews, Terra and Richard have nothing but friendship going on between them)

The light hit Kory's eyes and they instantly fluttered open, she sat up to see Roy getting dressed in a hurry.

"Roy?" Kory mumbled, still tired.

"What?" he asked sounding mad.

"Where are you going?"

"Work" he said simply.

"Roy, what's wrong?" Kory asked timidly.

"Richard, that's my problem!" Roy shouted

"What?" Kory asked not understanding what was going on…how did he know R\chard

"You've been whispering his name all night!" Roy screamed his face going deep red.

"Roy…Richard's a friend" This made Roy cool down a little.

But he still didn't answer

"Roy…he's just a friend, nothing else, and how could you think anything else was going on!" Kory said crossing her arms and facing the other side.

Roy walked over to her and sat on the edge of her bed. His hand reached over to hers and grabbed it, getting Kory's attention.

"Kory, I'm sorry, I just love you so much" Roy said as he leant to her and pressed his lips on hers.

Kory smiled as his lips left hers, Roy looked down to the clock and jumped up.

"I got to go, I'll see you tonight" Roy said as he ran out.

"Wait Roy…" He slammed the door before Kory finished and she could hear him running down the stairs.

"…how did the trip go?" Kory finished her sentence a little down.

Kory was hoping Roy could start working less, and with this new promotion he would have to go every other week on a trip.

She fell back to the pillow and looked to the window that had a view of the sun rising, this somehow cheered her up.

Richard walked down the stairs, his hair uncombed and he was in sweats and a worn out shirt that he wore to bed.

He looked to were Terra was sleeping who wasn't on the couch anymore. He heard odd noises coming from the bathroom.

Terra opened the door and her eyes were all watery and her checks were red, she looked worn out.

"Terra are you okay?" Richard asked knowing she was suffering from a hang over.

"No! my heads killing me" she said as she walked over to grab her jacket.

"Where are you going?" Richard asked as she put on her shoes.

"I'm leaving you alone, isn't that what you wanted, anyways thanks for letting me stay here" She said as she got up, walking to the door.

Terra opened the door before Richard quickly walked to Terra and closed the door before she could get out.

"Richard please move" Terra said looking in no mood for childish games as Richard stood in front of the door.

"Terra I'm sorry about yesterday…your right …I do love her" Richard said looking to the floor.

"It's fine Richa-" Terra quickly put her hand over her mouth and raced back to the bathroom.

The door slammed and Richard could hear that familiar noises again.

Richard waited until he finally saw Terra walk back out looking exhausted.

Richard walked over to her side and made her lay down on the couch.

"I didn't know hangovers lasted this long or felt this bad" Terra said looking annoyed

"Well you shouldn't have been drinking so much" Richard said as he passed her an Advil and some water.

Terra quickly swallowed the Advil along with most of the water. "You can stay here as long as you need, I'm not going to work today" Richard said

"What about Bruce" Richard rolled his eyes obviously annoyed at the mention of his name.

"He left out of town for a business trip, do you really think I'm going to work when he's gone"

Terra let out a chuckle knowing it must be heaven for Richard not having Bruce on his case all day.

"Richard I have to go home though, Jenny and Wally (Jinx, Kid Flash) are coming from Steel City to see me today, I can't miss it" Terra said

"Are you sure your okay going out?" Richard said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah" she said as she searched through her purse for her cell phone.

Richard left to the kitchen feeling she'd need her privacy. After awhile he heard Terra shut her phone.

(I'm just going to skip to were Terra's picked up)

The door bell rang getting Richard's attention, he got up and walked to the door.

"Hey Rachel-" Richard stopped seeing that Rachel wasn't the one who was picking up Terra.

"Oh Richard, its nice to see you" Kory said not knowing what to say.

"Hi Kory, come in" Richard said opening the door wide enough.

"Terra are you alright?" Kory said rushing over.

"Just fine" Terra said sarcastically.

Kory rolled her eyes as she helped Terra stand up.

"Richard thank you for taking care of Terra" Kory said smiling.

"Of course" Richard said smiling.

"Well we better go, maybe I'll see you again Richard" Kory said as she helped Terra to her car.

"Bye" Terra said waving to Richard.

Richard closed the door and let out a sigh

'You should have invited her to lunch!' Richard's mind scolded him

The door bell rang again and Richard leapt up thinking maybe he would get the courage to ask her now.

Richard opened the door expecting Kory instead of a girl that embraced him into a huge hug, he could hear her sobbing and he was forced to move back a few steps.

"Richard, please, I'm sorry, take me back please!" The girl pleaded.

"Kitten?" Richard exclaimed as she kept on sobbing.

"Kitten get off of me!" Richard said forcing her off.

"Richard what do you see in Kory!? She's not pretty, She's not kind, and…and I'm better than her!" Kitten pathetically stated .

"Kitten I love her now! Please leave!" Richard screamed

"She's engaged, She's happy without you Richard, she doesn't need you! She has Roy!" Kitten said and Richard felt that his heart had been pierced with a knife.

She turned around and whispered "Just think about it, your wasting your time chasing after a girl that won't love you like I will, she's not willing to wait like I am" Kitten said, smirking when Richard wasn't looking.

"What will it be Richard… the girl that you can never have….or the girl that's waiting for you and willing to love you." Kitten said turning around to face Richard who's eyes were full of sadness.

"Leave" He mumbled.

"Richard…"

"Just leave" Richard said his voice raising.

"Think about it Richard" Kitten said as he heard her high heels begin clinging as she made her way out.

"she has Roy"
