The Summer of Time


"I hate you Jack Brewer! I Hate you!" I cried. I hated it when we would fight. I hated it when any of us fight, but when me and Jack fought, it would get seriously bad, seriously quick. We have been fighting almost since we've been here. But our fights haven't been as bad as this one was getting, I could feel it in my body.


So. I'll bring you up to speed. It's summer and me and they guys, along with Grace, Julie, Maria and Jerry's cousin, Ambrey are all staying at Jerry's family's summer home in California. We had been here for a few weeks. Now I'll get you all caught up in the relationship area. So.. here's the list of the couples :)

Maria and Eddie
Julie and Milton (Duh)
Grace and Jerry
Me(Kim) and Jack
Ambrey and some guy in Seaford(who couldn't come for some weird reason)

So there ya have it:) no lemme get back to the story..


"Kim! What is your problem! Are you on your period or something!" Jack yelled.
"Shut the hell up Jack!"
"What the fuck did I do!?" Jack yelled at me, again. I felt tears form in my eyes.
"Just! Nevermind! Fuck you!" I said going off to the bedroom me and Grace shared, but before I could take 3 steps forward Jack grabbed my arm and turned me around. It hurt. "Jack! Stop it! Your hurting me!" I cried.
"Kim I-"
"Fuck you! I hate you Jack!" I cried/yelled.
"Kim! Don't you fucking walk away! We need to talk!" Jack yelled, not seeming to happy to talk.
"No! I never want to talk to you! You said enough already."
"Whatever! Fuck you skank!" Jack said, hurting me. I wasn't going to start crying, because the guys just sat around watching us yell back and forth. When Jack called me a skank their mouths dropped. I went to go and lunge at him when Jerry grabbed my waist and pulled me back.
"Kim, Just go to bed." He said.
"Fine! Fuck you Jack Brewer, Fuck you!" I said. When I spotted a glass on the counter, witch was on the way to my room, I picked it up and threw it, right at Jack, but he totally ducked making it miss him by a bunch.
"Are you fucking crazy!" Jack yelled at me. I just turned around and walked back to my room and slammed the door, almost making it come off the wall frame.
"Uhh Kim, try not to break my house!" Jerry yelled at me.
"Fuck you Jerry!" I yelled with cracks in my voice. I heard Julie and Grace say 'We'll go talk to her' I could hear them getting closer to the door. When they opened it we just looked at eachother, then I broke. I bawled and bawled. I had ever cried this much. I could barley breath. I could feel the guys trying to sneak a peak. I could feel everyones eyes but Jack's. He was probably looking out a stupid window or something. The girls where patting my back. I got up, still bawling my eyes out and went to the door, as soon as I did, they all pretended like they had been just sitting down doing jack-all.
"What!? Huh? You guys wanna see Kim Crawford cry!? huh? well, here I am! Take a good fuckin' look!" I bawled. Jack quickly turned his head towards me, he looked sad, had he really done this to me. "Yeah Jack! You did this to me! I hope it makes you feel better!" I yelled before slamming the door.I flew myself back at the bed and cried. I had finally cried myself to sleep. When I woke up, Julie and Grace were gone, and the room was dark. I laid back down and sighed. There was a knock on my door, I curled up with my pillow.
"Go away!" I yelled.
"Kim, it's Jack."
"Oh, GO AWAY!" I yelled again, knowing he would come in anyway. When he walked in I hid myself under my blanket. I felt him sit at my feet.
"Kim?" He said softly. I played with the necklace he had given me for my 15th birthday, even when we had fights I'd never take it off, but this time, I unhooked it from my neck and played with it in my hands for a little bit. "Kim, I'm sorry." He said patting my legs. I came out from the covers and passed him the necklace.
"Here, take it. I don't want it anymore." I said letting a tears fall down my face.
"No, keep it. I don't want it."
"Jack, I'm done trying to make this work, Just please take the damn necklace." I cried, grabbing his and and putting it in his palm.
"Kim, please. You know I love you."
"Jack! I keep getting hurt, I'm tired of forgiving you." I said getting up and taking my suitcase and setting it on the bed.
"Where are you going..?"
"Home." I said packing my things in it. When I was done I zipped it up and stood it up on the ground.
"Kim. You can't go home..."
"Too bad I am.. I can't look at anyone right now.. It's for the best." I said leaving the room and out the front door. I called a taxi and headed to the air port.
"Hi, could I transfer this ticket to departure for today."
"Yup! Just one second please." The women said typing somethings up and passing me the new ticket. I went to the plane and sat down in my window seat. I put in my headphones.


hours later


When I got off the plane, I got another taxi and went home. My mom answered the door.
"Kim? I wasn't expecting you for another month!" She said hugging me.
"Me and Jack broke up.." I cried. She hugged me tighter and made me safe.
"Oh, Honey. I'm sorry. shh. it's going to be ok. Go upstairs, you can go to sleep." My mom patted my back and took you upstairs and crawled in the bed I had been missing for weeks.


a week later


I was still feeling down about the break up, Jack was my bestfriend, and the love of my life. I mean I guess we didn't have the best relationship, I mean, our fights were just so bad, when we did, we let all the bad feelings towards everybody in our lives out on eachother during our fights. When I woke up from my deep sleep I slumped downstairs and curled up on the couch and wrapped up my body in my blanket. I layed down, with my head resting on the sofa pillow, I turned on the TV and went to netflix through the playstation and put on the notebook. I felt if I was sad, I should watch something that matched my mood. When my mom got home around noon she noticed I had finally left my bedroom.
"I'm glad to see you are separating yourself from your bed." My mom smiled.
"Just because I'm up doesn't mean I'm happy about it." I huffed.
"Kimmy.." My mom sighed. "So, whatcha watching." My mom said trying to change the mood in the room, not doing a very good job with it.
"The notebook." I said with tears rising to the lids of my eyes.
"Kim, honey. I know you're hurting but, you should really move on." My mom said sitting down on the couch with me.
"But, I don't want to mom! I can't!"I cried.
"Sweety. If Jack loves you, he'll call. Has he called you baby?" She asked me.
"About a million times.." I sobbed.
"Have you answered any of them?"
"Not exactly mom.."
"Kim! Honey, listen. If you want to stay here complaining about your love life, you can at least answer his phone calls" My mom said getting off the couch and walking away from the room. I sighed and returned to my movie. I watched it for another 2 minutes and went back up to my room. I turned off the lights and went to my bed. I woke up to the blinding light of my hallway.
"Kim. Get up."
"mmm.. who is it."
"us"
"Who the hell is 'us'?" I asked digging my head into the pillow I was hugging and pulled the blanket more over my head.
"Kimberley Matilda Sydney Crawford!" I could tell by the voice, it was Grace, and I could tell by the laughing Jerry,Eddie and Jack were with her.
"HAHAHA, Yo' your middle names are Matilda n' Sydney." Jerry laughed. I sprung out of my bed, pointing a finger at them.
"Yeah, and if you tell anyone I'll kick you where the sun don't shine, then cut off all your toes! Understand!" I yelled. They all shook their heads in agreement.
"Good." I said turning back around and getting back in my bed, the whole time I had avoided contact with Jack. "Now, if you wouldn't mind, I'm going into post-breakup hibernation."
"Kim! Get out of that bed, now!" Grace yelled.
"But I don't want too!"
"Kim, you're being as stubborn as a mule." Jack said. Just hearing his voice made my mind rush. My stomach went through tons of butterfly's. I decided not to say anything. "Oh, c'mon Kim. You answered everyone else." I stayed silent again, going deeper into my blankets. As I waited for someone else to say something I heard whispering, then people walk out and the door shut. I finally came out from under my blankets, breathing heavy and taking in all the new oxygen I could, until I realised that not everybody left.
"Kim. You can't hide from me forever you know."
"Yes I can." I said hiding my face from him.
"You're not doing a good job of it right now." He laughed.
"So.."
"Kim, Please. Talk to me."
"I just did, oh! and there I am talking to you again! what do ya know?" I said using my sassy tone.
"Kim... you know what I mean.." He sighed.
"Jack, you hurt me. physically and emotionally."
"and I'm sorry for that, very,very sorry."
"Jack. I love you, So much. Almost like its insane to be.. or, unreal. But, I don't know what I should do anymore. We fight all the time ever since we got to California." I started to cry. "and sometimes I just think that, its not worth all the fighting.." I cried.
"Come here Kim." He said pulling me in to a tight hug. "Kim. I love you, more than anything in the world."
"Anything?"
"Ok, maybe not my mom.." he joked.
"Hey!" I laughed, lightly pushing him.
"Seriously though Kim. I love you."
"I love you too." I said kissing his soft lips. I pulled away.
"So, does this mean we're ok?" Jack asked me, smiling.
"It definitly does." I smiled Kissing him again.
