Chapter 1
Kim's POV
I walk into my house and hear the sounds of yelling and glass shattering. I immediately become scared. It was my mom and dad fighting again. Ever since my mom found out about my dad's affair they have been fighting. Everyday I come home to this. I just want it to stop. I run up to my room as fast I could and lock the door. I put my earphones in and turn my music up trying to block out the sounds. After 20 minutes I hear a knock at my door and I open it. It was my mom standing there. She was crying and had a cut on her arm. I asked her what was wrong and she just stood there. I shook her some and she finally replied with "your father left". I stood there, frozen. I didn't really know how to react. I finally came back to reality and hugged my mom as tight as I could. She asked how I was feeling. I told her that I was happy the screams and fights were over. She looked down at me and said sorry. It wasn't her fault my dad was not good and faithful to her. I then turned my attention to the cut on her arm and asked what happened. She said it was nothing and left to doctor it up. I lay on my bed and think about the situation. I hate that my parents cant work things out but what I hate even more is that my dad was such a loser that he had to run away instead of face his problems. It was late so I decided to go to sleep. I have a terrible nightmare. It was about my dad never coming back. He would never be there for my sweet 16, my graduation, my wedding. I woke up crying. I then realized that I would miss him. I wipe away the tears and get ready to head off to the dojo. When I open my door I meet my mom. She is crying and tells me what happened. I just froze not wanting to believe what I was told. My dad was in a car accident after he left and died. I couldn't hold back the tears. I had to get out of there. I ran to the dojo as fast as I could.
Jack's POV
I look at Kim. But I don't see her. Instead I see someone worried and sad. I ask her what is wrong but she runs away. I chase after her and finally catch up to her. She is crying. I try asking again what was wrong. She just shook her head. I hug her tightly trying my hardest to comfort her. She looks up at me with tear filled eyes. I immediately feel a rush of sadness run through me. I hated seeing her like this. When my best friend is hurt im hurt. She then lays her head into my chest and cries. I rub her back in my attempt to comfort her. I had never seen Kim cry before. I didn't know how to handle it. After about 10 minutes the crying dies down and she looks up. She says thank you.
Kim's POV
I tell him thank you and he asks what for. I reply with "for being there for me." I think I should tell him. He is my best friend after all. He looks at me and asks me what is wrong for the 3rd time. I finally tell him. I tell him about the affair, about all the fights, about my father leaving, about my nightmare, and about the car accident. He just looks at me while he tries to process it. I couldn't hold myself together any longer so I cried into Jack's shoulder.
