Chapter 16: The Purposal

Kori was in her car, tears were burning in her eyes. 'This can't be happening,' she thought. A five minutes ago she was talking to Richardand everything had been fine then Ryan called.

Five minutes earlier…

Richard arrived home to an empty house. 'hmm I must've beat them here," he thought. He heard the door opening he turned around in time to see Starfire run inside followed by Marie, then Kori. He smiled as he watched Marie take Starfire off her leash.

"Hey Mar," he said getting her attention.

"Dad," Marie practically yelled as she ran to her father and hugged him. "What are you doing home?" she asked.

"I missed you too much," Richard said. "I need to talk to Kori why don't you go to your room?" Marie nodded and ran down the hall to her room.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" Kori asked turning to look at Richard who seemed nervous.

"Well Kori it's just I've really appreciated your help over this last month," Richard began. He had no idea how to tell her that he had fallen in love with her. He was about to continue but Kori's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Kori said.

"Hey Kor it Ryan," came the voice of her older brother Ryan. His voice was filled with sadness. She held a finger up to Richard and walked from the room.

"Ry What's wrong?" she asked.

"Kor there was an accident," Ryan began, he sounded close to tears.

"What happened?" Kori asked. She had a feeling what ever it was had to be bad.

"Koma she got hurt," Ryan said. "They hit the drivers side, we were on our way to visit you," he began.

"How is she?" Kori asked worried.

"Pretty bad do you think you could be here soon?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah I can be there in twenty minutes," Kori said trying her hardest not to cry. Her and Koma were close, and she didn't know what she'd do if she lost her only sister. She hung up.

"Kori what's wrong?" Richard asked.

"My sister was in a car crash I need to go," She said. "I'm so sorry," she grabbed her coat, "tell Maire bye for me," she said as she ran down the hall.

"Yeah ok talk to you later," Richard said to no one.

Kori pulled into the hospital's parking lot. She got out of her car and locked it and hurried inside. She found her parents, Myan and Luan in the waiting room with her older brother Ryan.

"Kori," Luan and Myan hurried over to their youngest child.

"Is she ok?" Kori asked.

"We haven't heard anything," Ryan said from his chair. Kori sat down in a chair next to her brother. Her and Koma had been really close as kids, closer than she and Kori had been. They had done everything together. Where one went the other followed.

"I came as soon as I heard," the four Anders looked up. They saw Two People. One was Ryan's Girlfriend Toni Monetti. Toni had shoulder length black hair that had two red streaks in the front, and her eyes were red. The other was the one who spoke. It was a man. Kori recognized him as Richard's brother Xavier.

"Kor this is Xavier Grayson Koma's boyfriend," Ryan began.

"I met him already," Kori said looking at him.

"Your Marie's Teacher aren't you?" Xavier asked. They had talked at the party, but not much. Kori nodded.

"So how is she?" Toni asked cutting in.

"We haven't heard anything yet." Luan said. Kori and Toni moved over to Luan and gave her a comforting hug.

Marie was in her room playing with Starfire. "Who's a good girl?" she asked scratching her behind her ear. Marie loved Starfire. She was extremely glad Richard had let her keep her.

"Hey Mar Kori had to go I don't know why, but she wanted me to say good bye for her," Richard said from the door way.

"Oh, ok," Marie said standing up. "So what are we gonna do now that your home?" she asked. Richard shrugged as he walked over to her.

"What do you wanna do?" he asked.

"We could have our own little party," Marie suggested, "Until we go to the celebration," she added quickly.

"So what do you wanna do?" Richard repeated.

"Let's watch movies," Marie said. Richard nodded as Marie ran past him to the living room. Richard smiled slightly. Marie always had so much energy, where she got it he never could figure out.

'I gotta tell her how I feel,' he thought. Starfire rubbed against his leg. "You wanna join us?" he asked scratching behind her ears.

"Dad are you coming?" Marie called from the living room.

"Yeah," Richard said he left Marie's room, Starfire followed him. "So Mar Mar what are we watching?" he asked taking a seat on the couch.

"The Lion King," Marie said. The Lion King was her favorite movie and she watched it whenever she could. She would watch it twenty-four/seven if Rivhard would let her.

"Again?" Richard asked.

"Yes," was Marie's reply. She sat on the couch next to Richard. Starfire jumped up onto the couch and rested her head on Marie's lap.

Rachel and Gar were at Rachel's house. After walking around for about an hour they ended up at Rachel's house. There wasn't much to do right now. THey had planned on going to the celebration in the park later but they had time to spare at the moment. They were sitting together on Rachel's couch just relaxing.

"So Rae what do you wanna do now?" Gar asked as he looked down at her.

"I don't know Kori's babysitting, and your parents are at a party," Rachel said snuggling closer to Gar. There wasn't much to do at the moment. They actually had a lot of down time right now.

"We could stay here," Gar suggested resting his head on Rachel's. "Have a party of our own." he said.

"Sounds like fun," Rachel said smiling. They sat in silence for a long time before Gar spoke next.

"Rae," he said getting said her attention.

"Yes Gar," Rachel asked looking up at him.

"I love you," he whispered into her neck. Rachel smiled.

"I love you too," she said she felt Gar moving. She sat up as he pulled his hand out of his pocket, he was holding a small black box.

"My mom gave me this when my grandmother died," he said. In his hand was an engagement ring. It was a gold band on it was two ½ carrot diamonds. "It was her mothers," he said trying to remember what he was told. "My mom said to give it to the girl you love," he finished.

"Gar," Rachel said.

"Rachel Elizabeth Roth, will you marry me?" he asked.

NEXT TIME: what will Rachel's answer be? Will Richard get to talk to Kori? Will Koma be ok? and am I asking to many questions?
