Hello to all readers! This is my first fanfic ever, but I've read a lot of them.

Anyways, my friend and I both ship Kick, and I'd been wanting to make an account, but I never got around to it. Finally, I have. Like I said, first story. Can you guys please give me some feedback. I will accept constructive criticism. But flames are not welcomed.

I hope you guys like it!

Kim POV

This is really happening. Jack's really leaving. He's going to Japan. I won't see him again for four years. Jack's going to Japan, I think to myself as I walk home from the dojo. For the past four days, I've been willing myself not to cry over the fact that he was going. But it's tomorrow.

The guys and I are having a little party at the dojo tomorrow. I don't know if I'll go. Not sure if I can handle it. But I want to be there. Call me crazy, I kind of want to be the last person Jack sees from the dojo before his dad comes to take him to the airport.

Joan told me that I should tell him tell him how I feel (or sing actually, but that's completely out of the picture). Anyways, I know that she's right. I have to tell Jack sooner or later. I'd just hoped that I'd be able to put it off until I knew how he felt about me too.

There are a lot of things I wish Jack would know. Like how cool I'd thought he was when he caught my apple on his foot (because not many people I know can do that). Or how loyal he is. Or how much he'd changed yet stayed the same through the time I've known him. And the way my life's seem to grow as we were together. Or how he never knew what I really thought of him. And that I'd miss him more than anything in the world until the day he'd get back to America. Back to Seaford. Back home. Back to me.

I keep thinking about how different the dojo will be without him around. How I'll be the only black belt and I won't have someone to come with me to the nursing home. I won't have someone to spar with (unless it was Rudy) and really challenge myself.

I decided to tell Jack how I felt a long time ago. But I'm a wimp, and I could never figure out when to do it or how. What if he didn't feel the same way about me? Or what if he stayed because he felt like he had to after finding out?

I walked up the front step of my house and went inside. Immediately, I went up to my room and flopped on the bed. How am I going to tell him without having to face him? I just lie on the bed and stare at my ceiling, hoping some way I'd suddenly have the answer to my problem. My slowly close as I think and I turn onto my side. Opening my eyes again, I see one of my cork boards where I keep the pictures and random pieces of any good memories. One of them had the most recent addition to them in the bottom right corner. It was the two pictures that Jack had given me just a few hours ago. Even though they were silly pictures of the two of us, they made me smile. If I could only have him see how I felt without having to tell him.

That's it! I'll just write it out for him. I run to my desk in the corner of my bedroom and open the drawer with my paper in it. I grab a pen and start writing…

Dear Jack,

Well, you're off to Japan now. And if you did what I asked, you're already on the plane to the Otai Academy and a new life across the ocean.

You're probably wondering why I didn't tell you all this stuff. But I guess it was just easier to do it this way. It's not too much, so I'll try to keep this short.

Anyways, I wanted you to know a few things. First, I think you're amazing. You're funny and smart and caring and you're one of my best friends. I probably sound like such a girl, but it's true. You're one of the most caring people I've ever met.

Something else I wanted to tell you is that…well, maybe I do have a crush on you. Actually, it's not really a maybe. I mean I do have a crush on you. And I know you might smirk and call me weird or something or feel weird because I'm barely telling you, but I just needed you to know.

The last thing I need you to know is that I'll miss you when you leave. We all will. I hope you have a great time in Japan. I know you can't text or anything up there most likely, but if you can, you have my number and the address to the dojo if you wanna send any letters.

I'll see you soon.

Sincerely,

Kim

I look at the letter I've just written. It's what I wanted Jack to know. That's what I'd wanted to tell him. Tomorrow, I'll give it to him. I know I will. Tomorrow, Jack is leaving.

Tomorrow, he'll find out everything I could never say. I must be crazy to think he'll actually feel the same way. But a girl can dream right?

I find an envelope in my desk drawer and neatly fold the letter, putting it inside and sealing it with a sticker. I put little stickers around the envelope: in the corners and on the top and bottom middle. Jack's name goes on the front of it.

I almost throw the letter out twice thinking that it was a bad idea and just letting Jack go without having to have this letter on his mind. Suddenly Joan's voice echoes through my bed. Before Jack leaves, you have to let him know what's in your heart. Joan may be crazy, but I still know inside that she's right.

I place the envelope at the top corner of the mirror in my room so I don't chicken out about taking it tomorrow. This has gotta be the worst good idea I've ever had, I think to myself.

I know, I think back. But, it's not like it matters at this point. Now or never right?

You keep telling yourself that.

Tomorrow, Jack's leaving. Tomorrow is when the truth comes out. Tomorrow…

I plan on making this a two-shot. The next chapter will be from Jack's point of view during the episode.

What did you guys think? Did I do okay for my first time?
