Shattered Tears

Kim walked out into the rain. She had a hard day and didn't really want to be bothered. She was about to call a cab when she saw Jimmy walking up to her. "Hey Kimmy. You okay?" Jimmy asked. Doc told him about the day she had and he was pretty worried.

"I'm fine," Kim replied.

"Want me to give you a ride?" Jimmy asked. He didn't think Kim should be alone.

"Okay. Joey's at my moms. I was going to let him stay there, unless you want to spend time with him," Kim said.

"No that's fine," Jimmy replied.

Jimmy pulled up in front of Kim's place. "Do you want to come up with me?" Kim asked. She didn't want to be alone.

"Sure," Jimmy replied and went in with her. They sat down on her couch. "Are you sure you are feeling okay?" Jimmy asked.

"Yes Jimmy I'm fine. I'm just glad that you are here," Kim said smiling.

Jimmy pulled Kim into his arms. "I love you," Jimmy said truthfully.

"I love you too," Kim replied. She was surprised that she believed him.

"I want us to be together," Jimmy said.

"I want that to," Kim admitted.

Jimmy kissed Kim lightly on the lips. Kim moaned softly. It took Jimmy all of his strength to pull away from the kiss. "We shouldn't do this right now," Jimmy said. He didn't want to just sleep with her. He wanted to hold her and make sure this was real.

"Maybe we should just go to bed," Kim said.

"Yeah I'm pretty tired," Jimmy said.

Jimmy and Kim went to her bedroom and fell asleep.

Kim woke up in Jimmy's arms. She smiled softly. She was so happy they were together again. She saw Jimmy stir. "Morning," Jimmy said happily.

"Morning," Kim said back and kissed Jimmy.

"I should leave. I have to get ready for work," Jimmy said.

"I'll see you later then," Kim said with a smile.

"Yeah. Should we tell everyone that we're back together?" Jimmy asked.

"Not yet, if that's okay," Kim said.

"That's fine," Jimmy said. He wanted to tell people today, but he could wait.

Jimmy left. So Kim decided to get ready for work. After she was done she picked up the phone to call her mother.

"Hello," Catherine said into the phone.

"Hey mom. Is it okay if Joey's stays with you again?" Kim asked.

"Yeah that's fine," Catherine replied

"Thanks mom. Bye," Kim said and hung up the phone. She grabbed her purse and headed to work.

"It wasn't that bad," Jimmy said walking in Kim's bedroom with her.

"Yes it was Jimmy. Why do you always have to take these risks?" Kim asked. She hated when Jimmy took risks. She hated wondering whether or not he will survive or not.

"I"ll be more careful I promise," Jimmy said gently. He just wished that Kim would understand why he takes risks. He doesn't mean to worry her.

"You'd better. You really scared me today," Kim said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were there," Jimmy said. He pulled Kim into his arms and held her close. He then slowly kissed her on the lips.

"Kim, I need to ask you something," Jimmy said.

"What is it," Kim asked.

Jimmy pulled a small box out of his pocket. "Kim will you marry me?" Jimmy asked.

Kim smiled softly. "Yes Jimmy, I'll marry you," Kim said happily. Jimmy kissed Kim and put the ring on her finger. Today was the happiest day of his life.

"When should we tell Joey?" Jimmy asked.

"We can tell him tomorrow," Kim said.

"He'll be happy to hear this," Jimmy said.

"Yeah he will," Kim replied.

Kim laid there in Jimmy's arms and they both fell asleep.

Jimmy and Kim walked into work together. Alex walked up to her friend. "Hey Kim. Why are you coming in so late?" Alex asked. She then noticed the ring on Kim's finger.

"So who are you engaged to?" Alex asked already knowing the answer.

"Do you think we should tell them?" Jimmy whispered into Kim's ear.

"Do you want to?" Kim whispered back.

"Yes I do," Jimmy replied.

"Okay then. Tell them," Kim said.

Jimmy took a deep breath. "Kim and I are engaged," Jimmy announced.

Everyone applauded. "About time," Carlos said. "I mean you two were always all over each other," He added.

Kim smiled. Shouldn't we be working," Kim said.

"Yeah, Yeah," Alex said.

Joey sat in the living room playing video games. "Hey Joey. You're dad and I need to tell you something," Kim said.

"What's that?" Joey asked eagerly.

"Joey, mommy and I are getting married," Jimmy said.

Joey smiled. "When?" He asked.

"A few months from now," Kim replied.

"Now get ready for bed you have school tomorrow," Jimmy said.

Joey left and Jimmy and Kim were talking. "So how about having a May wedding," Jimmy asked.

"May sounds perfect," Kim replied.

"I'm going to go home. I didn't bring an extra pair of clothes tonight," Jimmy said.

"Okay, bye," Kim said.

Jimmy kissed her good-bye and left. Kim decided to go to sleep early tonight.

"Mom did you get my poster board yet?" Joey asked.

"No I'm sorry I forgot," Kim said.

"But mom my project is due tomorrow," Joey complained.

"I'll go get now," Jimmy said coming back into the room.

"Are you sure?" Kim asked.

"Yes I'm sure," Jimmy said. Jimmy kissed Kim long and hard before he left. "I love you," Jimmy said.

"I love you too," Kim said, and with that Jimmy left.

Jimmy walked into Ekerd. It was the closest store he knew that had poster board.

He was in line when a guy came in with a gun. The guy went over to the counter. "I want all of the money in the register," The guy said.

Jimmy pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911. Before he knew it he was on the ground gushing blood.

The guy with the gun took the money and ran.

Kim was sitting on the couch when she heard the phone ring. "Hello," Kim said into the phone.

"Kim it's Alex. You should get to the hospital," Alex said trying hard not to cry.

"Alex what's wrong?" Kim asked.

"It's Jimmy. He was shot Kim," Alex said.

Kim hung up the phone she couldn't believe this was happening. She grabbed Joey and dropped him off at her mother's. She then rushed to the hospital.

Alex, Kim, Doc, Faith, and Bosco were all waiting for news about Jimmy. They all looked up to see the doctor. Kim and Alex walked up to the doctor. "Is he okay," Kim asked in shaky breaths.

"I'm sorry. Jimmy didn't make it through surgery," The doctor said.

Kim fell to the floor and started crying hysterically. She couldn't believe he was dead.

Everyone went home a little while after they heard Jimmy had died. Kim went to her mothers to pick up Joey. She didn't know how she was going to tell him.

Kim walked up to her moms door and knocked. "Where's Joey?" Kim asked.

"Upstairs sleeping. What's wrong?" Catherine asked concerned. She could tell her daughter had been crying.

"Jimmy's dead mom," Kim said and broke down and cried again.

Catherine held her daughter as she cried. "Everything is going to be okay," Catherine said.

"I have to tell Joey," Kim said.

"I'll go get him," Catherine said.

A few minutes later Joey came down alone. Catherine figured she'd let them be alone. "Joey, I need to talk to you about something," Kim said.

"Okay mommy," Joey said tiredly.

"Joey, your dad is dead. He was shot when he went out earlier," Kim said.

Joey started crying. Kim pulled her son into her arms. She knew that it would take a while for the both of them to move on.

The End
