The Nightmare

There are better days Ch 2

Jordan's POV (Point Of View)

I'm walking to the store with my friend Korralil when I see a guy kicking something. I can't tell what it is so I ask korralil about it.

" Hey korra," I start,

"Yeah?" We stop.

" can you tell what that guy's kicking?" I ask and point at the guy but when I did I saw what it was.

"Oh My God," Korra says covering her mouth, as I start to walk to the guy.

"Hey," I shot in an angry tone, " what do you think you're doing?" My voice full of fire. The guy runs away, I'm not surprised, I don't exactly look like the kind of person you want to mess with. Korra runs past me to the frightened girl. She's curled into a ball and is shaking.

"Hi, are you ok?" Korra asks in her kind tone, but the girl doesn't answer so she reaches out her hand and says in a soft voice, "My name's Korralil, it's ok we're here to help." She smiles as she says the and looks at me for help.

"Yeah." I say and Korralil rolls her eyes at me letting me know i was no help, but the girl seemed to relax at our words. She moves her hands away from her face and the first thing I notice is her eyes, I know Korra is thinking the same thing because of the face she makes, their two different colors, one is red and the other is navy blue.

" Hi," the girl says quietly, "My name's Rose, thank you, but I'm fine now." She says in a less quiet voice and sits up. I can tell she's trying to act like nothing happened.

"So she can talk." I tease.

"Jordan, Its is no time for jokes!" korra says disapprovingly, but the girl giggles and tries to hide it. She stands up and brushes off her pants and covers her red eye with her hair.

" Hey, we were going to the store, do you want to come with?" Korra asks but Rose shakes her head.

"Sorry, but i have to go home." Rose says as she waves and walks away.

Korralils POV

The next day, the sun is shining through my bedroom window and I'm getting dressed into my long sleeve red dress that almost goes to the floor. I start to walk around my house cleaning up a bit, I always wear dresses on the weekend, After I'm done that it's about 12:00pm so I start to cook for me and my mom. I make hot dogs and eat two. Afterwords I call Jordan and we say that since it's such a good day outside we were go to go swimming. I grab my bag and head outside, as I'm walking I see someone that looks like Rose sitting on a log with their head down. "Rose?" I call out softly, but I'm not expecting an answer. She looks up and I confirm that it's Rose but somethings off, her eyes are less shinny then the last time I saw her.
"What're you doing on a log? Are you ok?" I ask in a worried tone.
"Yeah I'm fine, just wanted to sit for a bit." She answers in a tone that makes me feel like I can't doubt her.
"Ok, Hey I was just going to get jordan and we were going to so to the pool. You wanna join?" asks hopefully, I really want her to come so I make puppy eyes.
"Sure, I'll come." She says plainly as she start to stand up I tackle her with a hug and a thousand thank yous. She giggles a bit, I think that she's happy. I smile a grill  that goes from ear to ear and walk with her to Jordans house.
