KICKIN IT ONE-SHOT/SONG FIC
EVERY ROSE HAS IT'S TORN
*Song by Miley Cyrus*
We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
I toss over in my bed & my eyes met with the red glowing numbers on my alarm clock. 2:19 a.m. I mentally groan & glance out the window. The moon was only light reflecting in my room.
I slowly turn back to the side I was lying on a few moments ago & sigh. He was lying next to me, but facing the opposite way & farther away.
We use to lie in each other's embrace the entire night.
But for some reason, Jack & I are drifting apart.
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right?
Though I tried not to hurt you
Yeah, I tried
But I guess that's why they say
"I can't believe you!" I shouted as I walked into our apartment, Jack following close behind me. I started walking to our room.
"Kim-" He started, but I didn't want an explanation.
"No Jack! Just don't!" I exclaimed, spinning around. "I thought I meant more to you than that."
"You do Kim. You don't understand-"
"I don't understand? What's not to understand Jack? I obviously don't mean anything to you. After all these years of being together & us moving in together..I'm just another girl to you."
"Kim, your so much more than that! I didn't mean it like it sounded." Jack defended. I rolled my eyes & continued walking. "Where are you going?"
"To bed!" I yelled down as I continued down the hall.
That was just the first of you daily fights. Ever since that night, we always had something to fight about. Whether it was paying the bills or taking out the garbage, we fought.
And I didn't like it.
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Jack & I have been dating since we were 17. He got accepted into Seaford University & I went to Woodbury University, In Burbank. I use to dorm there, but I never got to see Jack. So we put our money together & bought an apartment in Medford, which is right in the middle between the two.
Jack worked at the dojo & I worked at a coffee shop near campus.
As you could see, college really split us apart.
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
That brings us to tonight. We had another fight. But today, by far, had to be the worst of them all.
Yeah it does
"What are you trying to say Jack?" I exclaimed as I threw my arms in the air. "That this is my fault?"
"Those words never came out of my mouth! Stop twisting what I'm saying around. I'm just not happy with..." He started. He gestured to the two of us. "this." I sighed. "We never ever fought this much, Kim. Don't try & deny it."
"I wasn't going to. But every couple fights, Jack. Every couple has problems. That's apart the package." I defended.
"Yeah, well it wasn't in the manual." He said. "I don't even know why we're fighting this much. But I hate it Kim. I hate it."
"You think I'm enjoying it? Jack, I hate what college had done to us." I said.
"College has nothing to do with it." Jack said.
"College has everything to do with it, Jack. We haven't been on a date in months. Your always busy with school, or work & when you free, I have schoolwork or the coffeehouse calls me in for shift. We see each other maybe an hour a day." I explained. "Not only that, but you were never this cold to me."
Jack's eyes widened. "I'm the one being cold? Kim, every time I try to talk to you, you push me away. I'm trying to make this work, but your too stubborn to even see that!" Jack exclaimed, getting a little loud.
I exploded. "Maybe because I don't like hearing from other people what you've been doing at school." Jack shot me a look of confusion, until realization hit him.
That was when my heart broke in half.
"So it's true?" I asked softly, hoping you couldn't hear my voice crack. "You cheated on me, with Chelsea?"
Jack didn't say a word. I bit my lip & nodded. "You're obviously trying really hard to make us work. Making out with another girl will do the trick." I spat sarcastically.
"Kim-"
"Don't 'Kim' me! I can't even look at you right now. After all we've been through, you were willing to throw it all away for Chelsea?" I yelled. "I HATE YOU!"
Jack stayed quiet. I wiped the lone tear that rolled down my cheek away .
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
My alarm clock woke me up the next morning, & I just stayed in bed. Jack already left for work & the coffeehouse was closed on Sunday's, so I wasn't planning on getting up anytime soon.
"Alright! Alright! How are all you love birds this morning? Here's a special request comin at ya!" The DJ announced as the song began.
I shot up & stared at the iHome. He was playing the song. Our song. The 'Jack & Kim' song as the gang referred to it.
'Be your everything' by Boys Love Girls.
The song went on & I felt my eyes tear up.
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could let you know somehow
I slammed my hand on the clock & it turned off. I brought my knees to my chest & buried my head in my hands.
Usually if I was upset, Jack would wrap his arms around me & comfort me. He'd tell me everything would be okay & send a kiss to my temple.
But that wasn't gonna happen this time.
Because Jack's the one who broke me.
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but that scar, that scar remains
I finally got out of bed & decided to get dressed. I threw on black leggings & an oversized white T-shirt.
I walked into the hallway & froze.
There were two suitcases in the living room.
I walked forward & saw they were Jack's.
He was leaving?
But I thought he wanted to fix this? Fix us! Why would he leave me without us talking this over like civilized adults?
I walked forward & opened them. They were already packed with clothes.
I heard the sink in the bathroom turn off & shot my head up to see Jack.
I know I could've saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
"Your leaving?" I asked, shocked.
"Kim, I hate this. We aren't how we use to be. Last year, none of this would've ever happened. We need some time apart. It's for the best." Jack explained.
I shook my head. "If this is about what I said last night, I didn't mean it!" I said, as tears started building up. "I could never hate you, Jack. Just please don't leave me." I cried.
Jack pulled me into a hug & I threw my arms around his neck, burying my head into his shoulder.
"Kim, it's for the best. We need to give each other some space & hopefully..." He started as we pulled away. ",we can work this out after we have some time to think."
I nodded as he wiped my tears with his thump. "This isn't forever, I promise."
"Don't go making promises you can't guarantee." I said. We moved apart & he grabbed his bags. I hugged myself, hoping I wouldn't fall apart.
Jack looked up at me & leaned forward. He cupped my cheek & kissed my forehead. When he pulled away, he grabbed his other bag. "Bye Kim."
He started for the door & I let out a shaky breathe. "I love you." I said. He turned around & gave me a small smile.
"I love you too." he said. Then, he closed the door & he was gone.
That's when I broke down. I fell to my knees & took deep breathes.
After a few seconds, I was able to walk to the window, & saw Jack getting in his car.
"Goodbye Jack." I whispered.
and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
*3 MONTHS LATER*
I sat down with Grace at our table outside the cafe. We were grabbing lunch, off campus before we headed off to class again.
She pulled out her phone & started checking Instagram. I took a sip of my water bottle & watched Grace scroll throw the pictures.
Then, Her face went pale & her smile faded.
"What is it? Someone tag you in an embarrassing photo?" I asked sarcastically. She looked up at me, with sympathy in her eyes.
That's when I knew it was serious.
"What is it?" I asked, growing worried. She bit her lip & handed me her phone.
I looked the the picture & felt my heart rip in half.
It was a picture of Chelsea_Luv97, the Chelsea that kissed Jack. She was sitting outside on a bench. Sitting very close to another guy. My guy.
The comment was a bunch of red hearts & kissy faces. It read 'I Love you baby!'
"I'm so sorry Kim." Grace said, snapping me back to reality. I gave her back her phone & stood up.
"I'm not feeling to good. I'm gonna head home & rest." I lied as I grabbed my bag.
"Kim-" Grace started.
"I'll see you later. Bye." I said as I walked to my car.
I quickly got in & drove as fast as I could to my apartment.
Once I pulled into the parking lot of the building, I ran to my apartment.
And to hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I slammed the door behind me & threw my bag down on the counter. I stomped to my lonely bedroom & sat on the edge of the bed.
I took deep breathes, trying my hardest not to cry.
The next thing I did surprised me.
I pulled out my phone & called Jack.
It rang for a few moments, before it went to his voicemail.
"It's Jack. Sorry I missed your call. Leave a message after the beep."
It felt good to hear his voice, even through a voicemail.
The beep went off & I took a deep breathe.
"Hey Jack. It's me. I know it's been a while & I told myself to call so many times but I...I couldn't figure out what I would say. I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I know about you & Chelsea & I just want you to know that...If your happy, I'm happy for you." I took a deep breathe & fought back the tears.
"Don't worry about making it up to me or working things out. I'm over it & I'm just happy your happy...That's what I keep telling myself. You do your thing & I'll do mine & who knows, maybe one day in the future we'll meet again accidentally on the street & if faith brings us together again, It'll be beautiful."
I wiped away a single tear that escaped my eye. "So this is me, letting you go. Goodbye Jack."
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
