Chapter 1
Kim sighed as she strode over to her partially opened window, her toes digging into the carpet as she steadied herself over the legde, her gaze up towards the moon as a gentle breeze rustled her hair.
It was a breezy night but Kim didnt feel the chill on her skin, her mind was to lost in her thoughts to think of anything else. One single thought occupying her mind actually.
Jack.
She hadnt seen the now young man in over five months and her heart simply ached, she missed him dearly. Jack had left for training right after they'd graduated high school leaving Kim and her feelings at Seaford while he left to train under one of the greatest martial artists ever known.
His distance might not have been so bad if they'd at least talked, but it seemed as though Jack had no intention of staying in contact with her; she'd constantly catch Milton and even Jerry texting with the boy, yet her phone never once buzzed with a message from him.
A buzzing on her bedside table caught her attention and she frowned, who on earth could be calling her at such a late hour? She hustled over to the phone, her eyes going wide at the name on the screen.
There was no way.
She answered with shaky fingers, her breath almost gone at the rush of emotions his call enduced in her. Why was he calling her now? After months of not even a word?
"Kim you there?" Jacks voice reached her and the pent up anger she'd held at his lack of consideration towards her disappeared.
"Yes i'm here." she replied, sitting crossed leg on her bed, her eyes staring at her reflection in the mirror, noticing her slighty tinged cheeks in the moonlight.
"How have you been?" he asked and she smiled.
"I've been good, moved out of my parents house to my own little apartment."
"Yeah Milton told me about that congrats Kim thats a big step." She could hear his smile through the phone but she couldnt stop the frown that crossed her lips.
"I could've been the one to tell you if you'd talked to me." she caught herself saying, she couldnt believe he'd known about something as important as her moving on her own and he hadnt even tried to contact her.
"I didnt want to talk to you Kim." he whispered and the girls breath caught in her throat.
"W-what?' she stuttered, a knocking on her door completely ignored, her neighbor had been harrassing her earlier and she didnt want to deal with him this late.
"Why didnt you want to talk to me?" she whispered, her eyes watering, what had she done to make him not want to speak to her for nearly half a year? The knocking on her door came louder as Jack sighed.
"You might want to answer that, it doesnt sound like they're going to leave anytime soon." he said, so calmly a tear actually fell from Kim's eyes. How had he changed so much in such a short time? He sounded so cold, dismissed her so easily. What on earth had happened to Jack? She heard the knocking come again, louder and harder and she almost marched over to the door, wrenching it open angrily, her tears forgotten.
A tall figure stood before her, his face illuminated only slightly by the cell phone he had held slightly away from his ear. Kim couldnt help but gasp, her own phone falling on her carpeted floor with a light thud as her hand came up to cover her mouth, one word slipping through her fingers.
"Jack."
