Thanks for all the reviews, glad you all like my story! Now…
Chapter 8
I slumped against the door, falling onto the ground. I sobbed my heart out, crying and cursing and feeling totally horrible. Never, never in my life have I experienced pain like this, not even when my parents died…not from my older sister who hated me…just him.
"I hate him…I love him…I hate him" I was confused and as I muttered to myself between my tears I felt Rachel wrap me in her aura and levitate me up stairs, another of her abilities.
She placed me in a spare bedroom, and I curled up into a ball on the bed, still crying.
"Take care Kori, call me if you need me" she murmured then left.
This would never have happened if I had stayed on Tamaran, with Galfore, my loving nanny, and if only Ryand'r hadn't disappeared so many years ago, if I stayed away from Richard, if I had never gone to the premier, never started dancing, if I had stopped and thought about what could happen, would I still be feeling heart broken? But it was one kiss, but it meant so much, did I really love him, did he really love me, he said he liked the look of me, but he also said he loved me for me…I am so confused.
I turned to lie on my back and stared at the white painted ceiling.
Rachel was Raven, my best friend and from another planet, I was an alien to these earth people, I was…different.
I screamed inside and after a long time, a long time of thinking and crying, I fell asleep.
I woke up, feeling like crap, but… like Bee always said; the best way to brighten up a crap day is to go shopping.
Getting up I trotted down stairs, plastered a smile on my face and saw Rachel, her lounge miraculously clean save for no TV and no couch.
"I'm good at cleaning" Rachel muttered.
"Rachel, come on, we're going shopping!" I exclaimed, grabbing her arm and dragging her towards her bedroom.
"Fine, but I wouldn't do this normally" she muttered. And it was true, Rachel wasn't a shopping person.
I grabbed my bags from yesterday on the way and Rachel started talking but I cut her off,
"No way am I talking about yesterday, today lets just go shopping!"
"But Kori he-"
"I don't care about Richard or Nightwing, whatever he prefers, come on lets get ready"
"No, seriously Kori he-"
"Nuh uh, not gonna here it"
Rachel gave up and we got ready for our shopping day.
In the end Rachel wore a three quarter length sleeved V neck in black silk, and a pair of dark denim jeans and some really nice black pointed ankle boots.
I ended up wearing my black short shorts and the ice blue tank top I brought yesterday, along with my boots. I borrowed Rachel's brush and a hair ties and did my hair up in a large top knot, leaving wisps hanging around my face.
Rachel was never one for make up, but she had some, so I applied some black eyeliner and mascara and lightly brushed some light blue make up over my eyes.
"Ok Rach lets go" I exclaimed, feeling slightly happier.
Rachel sighed and followed me down the stairs towards the front door.
"Kori, so you want me to call Gar or someone, just in case?" she asked, eyeing the door nervously.
"Rachel, why would you call Gar, it's not like he can do anything to stop those Shadonians, or Richard for that matter" I muttered the last part to myself.
"Well, I was just suggesting" Rachel seemed slightly huffy at me.
"You like Garfield!" I cried, catching on. I wiggled my eyebrows at her and made kissy faces.
"I do not" she snorted, sticking her nose in the air.
"Yes you do, admit it, you like Gar!"
"Kori, for a millionaire model you sure do act like a child sometimes" she muttered, waving of my erratic behaviour.
"Oh whatever Rachel, you know you're in denial!" I exclaimed happily, grinning widely.
"Whatever you say Kori, now are you sure you don't wanna call Gar, or Vic or Bee for that matter?" she asked, looking back at the door.
I followed her gaze and then twigged on.
"Why are you stalling?" I asked her, raising a brow.
"I'm not stalling" she protested, narrowing her eyes at me.
"Fine"
I moved towards the door, and Rachel jumped in front of me.
"You positive?" she asked, almost breathlessly.
"Rachel, come on move away from the door!" I snapped, irritated.
"No, not untill you're sure that you don't want to call the others!" she protested, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Rachel, I am absolutely positive that I don't want to call the others, all though Bee would make an extra shopping friend" I mused, looking at Rachel thoughtfully.
"Yes! Let's call Bee!" exclaimed Rachel, rushing to her phone.
I took my chance and raced for the door, wanting to know why sh ad been stalling. I flung the door open, looked out, and slammed it…hard.
"RACHEL!" I screamed, stalking furiously back towards her.
"Why is he here?" I demanded, pointing at the front door where Richard was sitting outside.
"I don't know Kori! He's been here all of yesterday afternoon since you told him to, get out" she murmured, leaning against the stair well.
"Can't you teleport him out of here, or us out of here!" I exclaimed, waving my hands franticly.
"Kori keep your voice down!" Rachel hissed, casting a meaning glance at the door.
"Sorry, but can you get us out of here?" I asked, near pleading.
"Well…" she trailed off, biting her lower lip.
"Rach please, I don't want to face him!" My eyes were getting teary and I willed myself to stop them from over flowing.
"Kori, he's not just going to disappear like that" she said, staring at me hard.
"Well, what do you want me to do? Go outside and sing for him?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes.
"You could, but I don't think that would do anything to help the situation anyway"
"Rachel this is no time for jokes!" I hissed, getting flustered.
"I don't joke" she said monotonously.
"Come on then, we'll call a limo!" I exclaimed rushing for the phone.
I pulled back as it was encased in black and white aura and ripped from the wall.
"Rachel, you just ruined you phone" I muttered, staring at her with wide eyes.
"I don't care, now you stop being a coward and get out there, aren't you supposed to be apart of a warrior race, famed for its bravery and skill?" she asked, staring at me like I had been a child painting on her walls.
I don't know why but I started crying, silent tears, and then I knew why. I knew I was being a coward, and I knew what a disgrace it was. Me a Tamaranian warrior scared of a lone person, un-armed and defenseless. Well maybe not so much defenseless but…
"Kori I'm sorry, It's just I thought that would…" Rachel looked guiltily at the floor then me, then back at the floor.
"Rachel, come on, we're going out that door" I muttered, checking my make up quick and then grabbed her arm and opened the door.
Richard was on his feet in an instant, looking worn out and tired.
"Kori please, let me explain!" he pleaded, standing in front of me.
"Come on Rachel, we're walking" I said, ignoring him, and my aching heart.
We started off, and Richard followed.
"Kori stop ignoring me, Kori please!" he stepped in front of us, blocking our path and Rachel cast me a worried look.
"Rachel lets hail a taxi" I muttered, blinking back tears.
"Kori stop ignoring me, I know you, you aren't like this!" he near shouted, and people around us stopped and stared, and I saw reporters rushing forward, camera's at the ready.
I rounded on him, enraged and pissed off.
"You know nothing about me; you don't know me at all!" I hissed, poking him in the chest with my finger.
"I do know you Kori, I know you more than you could possibly know!" he shouted, his fists balled.
"Oh yeah, and whats that, that I kissed Nightwing?" I shouted, loud enough for the press to hear.
Gasps came from the crowd that had surrounded us.
Richard glared at me and said,
"I know that and…" he bent low to me ear, his breath tickling my neck.
"I know you Koriand'r" he whispered.
