Hey my fans and random people that just so happened to stumble upon this. So I've been really stressed with school and friends. I've got the huge test and it seems like all my teachers wanted to pile up all the work before summer. (last day of school is the last day of May!)Plus I've got one so called "friend" that won't stop with the drama. It's like she's looking for it! Anyhow, I don't want to bore you with the rest of my troubles. I've been obsessed with this song called Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood and I needed to relax so I wrote this story! Don't forget to check out my fourm. It's just to talk to you people. The link is on my profile so yeah! Read on!

*****(Jack's P.O.V.)*****
"Hey, have you guys seen Kim? She wasn't at Social Studies." I ask the guys.
"No. She wasn't at third or fifth period." Milton tells me.
"She wasn't at fourth period either." Jerry tells me.
"Something must have come up, don't let it get to you." Milton tells me, slapping my back.
He and Jerry already know about my crush on Kim; Eddie did too, before he moved. We still video chat with him every once in awhile. His mom finally let him get a phone so we'll text him as much as we do anyone else that lives in Seaford. His mom had a job transfer so he had to move to Alabama.
"Yeah, she'll probably be at the dojo. Let's get going." Jerry says before we start walking out of school and towards the mall.
Jerry knows no to get all crazy when I'm talking serious about Kim. He knows the consequences.
We soon reach the mall and find the dojo. We walk in and I drop my bag by the door. I look up to see a flash of blonde hair disappear behind the wall that leads to the changing rooms.
"Kim!" I yell. I run towards the wall where she disappeared behind. I see the girls' changing room door slam shut.
Gone.
"Jack!" I hear coming from the mats. I walk back over to the guys and see Rudy there.
"Rudy, what's up with Kim?" I ask.
"I don't know. I came in around ten to see two headless dummies and one she was beating up was starting to go headless. You know how Kim's like when she's angry. I ran to my office and stayed there. I looked through the window just about a half hour ago to see her brokendown on the bench. Just before you guys came she got up and gave the dummy a reverse side kick and looked out the window. She must have seen you coming 'cause she ran to the changing rooms. She was here all day. Never left." He says. Okay. Something's up.
"Come on." I say before walking towards the changing room Kim ran into.
I hesitate before knocking on the door. "Kim? Can we come in?" I ask.
No answer.
"Come on, Kim." Rudy says.
Still nothing.
"Kim, what's up? You haven't been at school all day and apparently you've been here since ten."
No an-
"Leave." She snapps. I can hear her trying to muffle some sobs.
"Kim, I need to know what's wrong." I say.
"No, you don't." She snaps again with the same tone.
"Kim, if you're not gonna tell us, then at least tell Jack. He's been worrying all day." I elbow Jerry in the stomach. "Hey! You have!" I roll my eyes.
Kim doesn't answer. I hear Rudy whisper something then head back towards his office with Milton and Jerry.
"Kim, they left. Will you please tell me what's going on." I say, leaning on the door.
She doesn't respond.
I sigh and make my way towards the rest of the guys.
"Come in." I hear her say.
I turn and head towards the door. I slowly turn the rusty knob and open the door just enough to peek my head through the door. I find Kim sitting on a bench, hugging her legs with her chin on her knees. Her eyes are swollen and slightly red. She looks right at me with those beautiful, swollen orbs and says, "Hey." before swallowing back what I assume are tears.
I walk in and close the door behind me. I take a seat next to Kim. She stares at the wooden door and swallows again.
"Kim?" She looks at me. "It's okay if you want to cry." She nods and breaks down then and there.
She buries her head in my chest and clutches my shirt. I rub small circles on her back, repeating "shh" over and over along with "it's okay" and "don't hold back". After a while she calms down and looks at me with wide eyes.
"M-my ba-b-baby niece die-died."
"Oh, Kim." Is all I say. She breaks down again. This time, I lay my chin on her back, still rubbing small circles on her back.
Kim loved her niece. She was the sweetest thing. She may have been merely a year old, but she still knew exactly how to cheer someone up. She always knew when someone was upset. Once, I was at Kim's house for Thanksgiving with her family and Kim and I were sitting on the couch. Bored out of our minds. Kim had her cheeks popped out. Her niece came up to her and started popping her cheeks. We laughed at her actions. I understand why Kim is so upset.
She soon manages to calm down and we just sit there for awhile, enjoying the comfortable silence. "Can you tell me how it happened?" I ask. I feel her nod and she sits up to face me.
"Last Friday,"
"Christmas Eve." I say. She nods.
"My cousin—my niece's mom—was driving to my aunt and uncle's house in Cincinnati. It was really dark and the roads were really icy and and the car drove onto a sheet of ice. She couldn't control the car and it ran into a tree. My cousin was fine but my niece..." She swallows. I notice she'll start crying again if she says another word.
I pull her into a hug. She hugs me back.
"I'm sorry you have to see me like this." I hear her say.
"Kim, it makes sense. You have a good reason." She pulls away.
"Thanks, Jack." She says as she fiddles with her fingers.
"For?" I ask.
"Being here." She looks up at me.
"No problem. You needed someone. I'm glad I'm that someone." She nods and looks back down at her fingers.
"I miss her." She says, leaning her head on my shoulder."
"I do too. But a we can do now is let Jesus take the wheel." I feel her nod.
I plant a small kiss on her lips.
"I love you, Kim."
"I love you too, Jack."
