Chapter 8: I'll Always be there...

Kori's POV:

I woke up, smiling, remembering the events of last night. I was horror stricken of what he did. How could he do this, I was his girlfriend for so long, I gave him everything, I trusted him. I guess I was wrong about him. I was glad Richard was there for me. I looked up and saw his face. He looked so peaceful. I carefully reached up and caressed his face. Slowly he opened his eyes and smiled.

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" Richard asked me.

"I'm fine, how are you?" I asked back.

"Well I have to gather the guys and we have a couple plans to fulfill today, other than that I'm fantastic!" he smiled and I smiled back.

"Richard, I have to tell them what happened during breakfast, I'm sure they'll be worried. I mean, I just ran upstairs crying with now explanation." I said biting my lip.

"Look, don't worry about it; I'll be right there with you. Whatever you need, I'll be there." He stated gently.

"Richard, why did you treat me like you did all those years ago?" I asked him.

"I was a total idiot. I was too stressed with work and Brittney somehow made me think that hooking up with her was what I needed, I didn't mean any of the things I said, and I didn't mean to hurt you. That was my biggest regret." He replied with his head down, ashamed.

"That was in the past. What matters now is that you're here with me, when I need you." I whispered. And our faces started to get closer. We were 1 inch from each other when,

"Guys its time for breakfast!" Cy busted in. we both jumped apart, our faces red of embarrassment. Cy smirked at us,

"Did I interrupt something?"

"NO!" I screamed fully embarrassed with Robin.

"We'll meet you downstairs, I just have to get ready." I said, this time calmly. When Cy was out the door. Richard cleared his throat.

"Um I better go down, I'll meet you at breakfast." He said stuttering on his words. I giggled at his cute habit. I changed into skinny jeans, boots, a black leather jacket and a white t-shirt with a black and white scarf. I put my hair into a high pony tail and put some mascara and lip gloss. When I was downstairs everyone looked at me.

"Sorry about yesterday guys, it was a really bad night for me. I also have to tell you something important." I sat next to Richard and my Dad.

"Well last night, he proposed to me. I said no because I didn't feel ready. Well he grabbed my arm and pushed me into the bathroom. And then he-he, r-raped me." I said with tears streaming down my face. Robin grabbed my hand for support. Everyone at the table looked murderous.

"Well then, I think I speak for everyone when I say this. I think we need to play Blake a little visit, don't you guys think so?" Gar asked.

"Yea I'll get 'The Kit', and I'll me you all downstairs in an hour." Dad said with a purple face. Everyone soon left the table except Richard and I.

"Hey, you're going to be alright. He's not here anymore to hurt you. We will always be there to protect you… I'll always be there to protect you." Richard said wiping the tears away.

"Thank you, for being here." I sad while hugging him.

"No problem." He said smiling.

"Well I better get ready."

"Yea." I said and he headed up to his room.

I hope that Blake will get a taste of his own medicine.
