chapter 22
It had been a few weeks since the incident and Korra hand't told anyone about what happened. She wasn't ready to admit to him raping her and beating her. Although she knew that everyone knew about the beating... But she would have to do it eventually and it would have to be to a whole court full of people, she dreaded the day when that would come.
"What're you thinking about?" Mako asked, he had come over to her house after school to work on their project.
"Hm?" She looked at him and then realized she had been zoned out. "Oh, nothing. Just..."
"Just what?" He asked, curiousness in his eyes.
"Nothing! Let's get back to work." She said, opening her binder.
Mako knew better than that, she was hiding something. Every time she hid something she did this, luckily she didn't hide things from him often. The only other time she did was after the whole hostage incidence with Tahno about a month ago. She was really an open book with him. They didn't have many secrets... Maybe this new thing with Tahno was on her mind.
"Korra, I know you better than that. Please tell me, is it something with Tahno and that phone call earlier? All it was, was a call so that you can go to the trial and claim him guilty. Because he is going to jail, he's in custody right now. You don't have to worry." He said, scooting his chair closer to her.
"It's not that I'm afraid he will get out of jail and do something again, it's that I don't want to have to go to court. I don't want to admit what he did to me. It's too personal." She said, a few tears welling up in her eyes.
Mako noticed the tears and pulled her closer, he felt anger well up inside him. All he thought Tahno did was beat her, which was bad enough, but he didn't know that he did more! What else did that bastard do?
"What else did he do?" Mako asked, rubbing Korra's arm in comfort.
She sniffed and buried her head in his chest, Mako sighed and held her close. If she didn't want to talk about it right now then that was fine, he would wait here until she was ready.
After a few more minutes, she pulled away just a little bit and looked up at Mako with a few tears on her face. He wiped them away with the pad of his thumb and smiled at her.
"Ready to tell me?" He asked in a soft voice.
She nodded and then looked at the floor. She hugged herself with her arms before he pulled her close, her gaze still at the ground.
"Wh-when he kid-kidnapped me, he chained m-me to t-the bed a-and..." She trailed off and a few more tears escaped her eyes.
Mako felt his blood begin to boil, he knew what she wasn't saying. He raped her. That bastard raped her!
"He didn't. Did he?" He asked through clenched teeth.
She nodded and started to cry again, Mako pulled her close again and she buried her head back into his chest. He rubbed her back to soothe her, but who would soothe him? He was beyond pissed, he was furious. When they went into that court room he didn't know if he could contain his anger.
When her crying died down she looked at the clock. 9:28. She yawned and Mako chuckled.
"Tired?" He asked.
"Nah, I'm just yawning for no reason." She said sarcastically.
He rolled his eyes and picked her up bridal style to take her to her bed. He laid her down and pulled the covers up. He was about to leave when he felt her grab his wrist.
"Stay, please?" She mumbled, her pout on her face.
He smiled and climbed in next to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. So that her back was to his chest.
She smiled and snuggled closer to him, basking in his warmth. Soon enough she fell asleep and so did he.
------------------------------------
The next morning they woke up to the sound of her alarm. The only good thing from that alarm was that it told them it was Thursday. And Thursday meant only one more day until Friday! And Friday meant the weekend, and the weekend meant no school for two days.
Korra yawned and stretched and froze when she felt a set of strong arms pull her to a body. She relaxed once she recognized the set of arms to be none other than her loving boyfriends, Mako
"Morning." He yawned.
She smiled and snuggled closer to him, "Morning hotshot."
He chuckled and then got out of the bed much to Korra's dislike.
"I am going to take a quick shower, down the hall and to the left, right?" He asked, taking out some clothes from his bag. He always had a few clothes in his bag because he has stayed over before. He is always prepared.
"Uh huh." She said, sitting up. "Make it quick, I still need to shower too."
He smiled and walked back over to her he leaned down . "Don't worry, I'll be quick."
He was right, he was back in the room with a towel around his waist in less than 5 minutes.
"Wow, that was fast."
"You told me to make it quick." He shrugged.
"Well mine will take at least 20 min, so go ahead downstairs and get something to eat if you want." She said, walking out the door.
"Okay!" He yelled after her.
She got in the shower and took as long as she had said, she got dressed and walked downstairs. Mako was waiting for her with a plate full of pancakes.
"You made these?" She asked, taking a plateful.
"Yeah, your parents had to leave early so I thought I'd make you something." He said, taking a few for himself. Leaving some for Jace, whenever he woke up. "You like it ?"
"I love it ! These are delicious! Much better than the steak tasting ones my dad makes."
"What?" Mako asked with a laugh.
"Long story, well not really. But I don't feel like explaining it." She laughed.
"Come on, don't want to be late." He said, putting his and her plates in the sink.
-------------------------------------
The day went by quickly and then it was time for her soccer game. She played great, as always. She scored the majority of the goals and the ending score ended up being 5-3. They were going to the championships!
"Yes! We rock!" Korra cheered, Ikola had come to watch a few of her games and they became really close. As a matter of fact, Ikola was one of her best friends.
"Good job Korra!" She cheered.
"Thanks! Wanna come over to my house with the rest of the team to celebrate?" Korra asked.
"I'd love to!" She said happily.
"Alright, I'll give you a ride." Korra said happily.
Trial and party up soon! After the trial should I show the championship football and soccer games?
