Bosco had the day off today. He has been thinking a lot about the past few days. A lot has happened. The car crash that killed the four teens and he and Kim almost hooking up in his car. That's what he's been thinking about the most. He's always had a thing for Kim. She just seemed like the kind of person that wouldn't give him the time of day. He wanted to talk to her and tell her that he liked her, but he was afraid that she wouldn't feel the same way about him. He has never felt this way about anyone else before. He never really thought about having a relationship with anyone until after that night with Kim. He knew that she probably wasn't thinking about him. She was probably thinking about Jimmy and her son. He knew her history with Jimmy. Everyone talked about it. He felt so bad for her. Kim deserved better than how Jimmy treated her. She deserved someone who loved her and would take care of her. Not cheat on her and leave her crying.
Kim was waiting for Jimmy. He was going to give her a ride home. These past few days have really made her think about what she wanted. What she wanted was to be with Jimmy again. She knew everyone would disapprove, but she really didn't care. Her and Jimmy were going to go to her place to talk tonight and if things went well Jimmy wouldn't be leaving. She saw Jimmy walk out of the firehouse. She just stood there a minute. Was she sure that she wanted to get back together with Jimmy again? Every time they tried to get together again he always left her or she left him because he hurt her again. Of course this was what she wanted. Things would be different this time though. Her and Jimmy were meant to be together. And this wouldn't just be good for her, but also for Joey. Joey's been wanting Jimmy and Kim to get back together again since the divorce. She couldn't blame him. Every kid wanted to have a normal family. She looked at Jimmy again. He looked impatient. She looked back down at the ground again. What if Jimmy hurt her again? What if she wouldn't be able to move on and forget about it? She hoped she would be able to if that had happened again. Besides, she shouldn't think about all of the negative things that could happen. She should be thinking about all the good things that will happen and all the good it will do.
Bosco was walking around outside. It was really cold outside tonight. He didn't know how, but he round up in front of Kim's place. He knew he probably shouldn't be here. But he figured it wouldn't hurt anyone to wait for her to get home. Then he could talk to her. He wouldn't have a choice though. He'd have to explain to her why he was waiting for her outside her place late at night. He sat on the steps. A few minutes later he saw a car pull up. He saw Jimmy get out, then Kim. He knew this wasn't a good sign.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't know. I'll meet you inside," Kim said. Jimmy pulled Kim into his arms and kissed her softly. The he walked into her place to wait for her. He was watching them through the window. Jimmy knew Bosco's reputation. He had to make sure Bosco knew that Kim was off limits before he left them alone out there.
"What are you doing here Bosco?" Kim asked. She wondered what this could be about. She knew that Bosco wasn't the type of person to just stop by to talk. And she barely knew him. So they really didn't have anything to talk about. Sure she almost screwed hi in his car the night of the car crash, but she was upset and confused. She wasn't thinking straight.
"I wanted to talk to you. But it looked like you're already busy. Maybe I should come back another time," Bosco said. He could tell that Jimmy and Kim were getting back together. Jimmy sure made it clear. Kim seemed happy about it. He didn't want to mess this up. He wanted her to be happy.
"We can talk tomorrow if you want. Meet me in front of the cafe around twelve," Kim said. She couldn't believe that Bosco actually wanted to talk to her. She had no idea what it could be about.
"Sure that sounds nice. I'll see you tomorrow," Bosco said. He watched Kim walk into her place. He couldn't wait till tomorrow. Then he left. This was something. Maybe not though. It did look like Kim was hooking up with Jimmy again.
"So what did Bosco want?" Jimmy asked as soon as Kim walked in the door. They were out there talking for a long time. Of course he was a little worried. He did walk in on Kim and Bosco ion his car before they were about to screw each other. They could've gotten together after that night. How would he know?
"He wanted to talk so I told him we could talk tomorrow," Kim said. Jimmy looked a little jealous. At least she knew he still liked her.
"Well we should talk about us and not Bosco," Jimmy snapped. He felt bad for snapping at her. It's not like her and Bosco were dating.
"I want us to get back together. I've been thinking a lot about what I want these past few days. I want you back Jimmy," Kim said. She looked at Jimmy. She saw him smile. She knew that was a good sign. She could tell he was happy.
"I want us to be together again to. I'm so sorry for hurting you in the past. I promise I've changed," Jimmy replied. Now he knew he wouldn't have to worry about Bosco anymore. Kim still loved him. It's not like he was really surprised. Kim could never get over him. No matter what he did she kept going back to him. Even when he slept with her sister. She never learned. But he really did love her. He really would try to change for her. He just hoped that he could. Cause he really didn't want to hurt her again.
