THE STORY OF US

Kim never expected her first day of her senior year to start off the way it did, but knowing life there is always the 'unexpected'. She was walking down the halls of Seaford High when her eyes slowly met up with Jack Brewer or better known as her 'ex-boyfriend'. They shared a moment before they both quickly looked away and continued on like it was nothing. As Kim was walking to her locker she thought back to when they were together as she recalled telling anyone who asked the happy couple how they got together and them saying 'At the moment we met there was an instant connection and it felt like fireworks', or overhearing people in the halls saying 'how lucky they both were to have each other because they were so great together'. Kim sighed as she grabbed her books and took off to her first class. She walked in the room and instantly froze. Sitting off to the side in a fairly good spot was Jack. Now usually this wouldn't be a problem but in the situation now; that was probably not the best option because she really didn't know what he thought of her or where they were at being that they spent the summer as far away as possible from each other so she quickly scanned the room for another seat. Everyone looked at Kim and Jack and wondered what was happening because everyone knew that even if they were mad at each other they would be civil and work it out later. As Kim sat down she put her head down on the desk as she felt everyone's eyes on her as they all knew that it was her that caused the break up as the memory came flooding back like it was yesterday.

Flashback: Kim was stressing over finals, her cheer team, and the end of the school year newspaper deadline and just couldn't wait for it to all be over with but at this time the only thing that would make her happy was Jack, her boyfriend of almost a year. She was tapping her pen against the desk waiting for the class to finally end so she could see Jack. As soon as the bell rang she ran out of the room to her locker knowing that Jack would be there too but when she rounded the corner he wasn't there. She let it slide thinking that he must have gotten held up but after 10 minutes of waiting she was getting a little worried so she started to head over to where his class was. Just as she turned down the hall she saw something that made her confused, hurt and angry and something that she wished she didn't see. Right in front of her were Jack and her enemy Lori hugging. Now Kim knows that Jack is a sweet guy but the way he was rubbing her back soothingly made her want to burst at the seams. She didn't really know what to think as she ran away as fast as possible. A few minutes later Jack found her as he acted like how he always did as she gave him a hard cold glare. "Kim, what's wrong?" Jack asked concerned. Kim just kept glaring at him before saying, "Don't act like you don't know. How could you?" Jack had a blank stare not quite sure what was happening. "Why would you be 'friendly' with one of the people I can't stand", Kim shouted. Jack thought for a moment before putting some things together and then he finally realized that Kim must have seen him and Lori hug. Quickly he replied, "Kim, it's not what you think". "Oh please, I know what I saw. And by the way, why were you even together?" Jack let out a sigh and said, "If you were listening last week when I told you that Lori and I were paired together for our final project you wouldn't be so mad". Kim thought back and had a slight memory of the conversation but it still didn't cover why they were hugging. "Ok, to be honest I don't remember all the conversation but why were you hugging Lori?" Kim asked in a calmer voice. "Sorry, but I promised Lori I wouldn't say anything. It's a real personal matter", Jack said in a low voice. Kim glared at him, challenging him her eyes but Jack wasn't budging. "If you want to protect Lori more than me, fine. Don't ever talk to me again", Kim shouted; turning around to walk away. Jack quickly grabbed her wrist, bringing her back to him. "Kim you don't mean that", Jack said in a whisper. "Yes, I do. If I can't trust you anymore than there is nothing more between us", Kim said yanking her hand loose and walking away again and this time without Jack stopping her. After that she avoided him and they seem to slowly drift apart.

End flashback.

A tear escaped her eye as she finished remembering that incident. She wanted to tell Jack that she was sorry for everything. That she was jealous and stressed and how she shouldn't have taken it out on him and how she finally learned the real reason behind the hug which was that Lori's grandmother, who practically raised her had just passed away (I have no idea about Lori's life at all) and that Jack would have to finish the project by himself and she understood that he was only being a good person and friend. But she knew she couldn't because even though they weren't talking or even friends she could tell that he was guarded and he built walls to protect himself and at that moment she couldn't feel worse.

The last half of the day was spent with the seniors being able to catch up with each other and relax. They were all in crowded auditorium as Kim stood by herself not really in the mood to socialize. She saw Jack out of the corner of her eye not really in the mood either and it's in moments like these that it truly killed Kim to not be able to hang out with him. To laugh, be silly and just have a good time and it got her wondering if he was feeling the same way. When people looked at her to him she really didn't know what to say because honestly after everything came tumbling down, their once perfect love story now looks like a sad disaster of a show.

Next Chapter:

It was now December as Kim's best friend Grace talked her into going to one of the biggest holiday party ever. Once at the party Grace went to socialize as Kim just stood there trying to blend in and think about how her and Jack ended up being people they never thought they would become. Kim being self-conscience as she pulled at her dress trying to get more comfortable and Jack being quiet and cold, ignoring her at all costs. Kim was thinking that if they ever got back together she would have quite the collection of stories to tell people about how she drove herself crazy about what happened and that seeing him here at the party just made things worse, especially when both their best friends had a crush on each other. But Kim knowing Jack knew that his ego was too strong for him to admit anything about to the situation and Kim missed the way he was so passionate, strong-minded and the way he would always hold her to protect her.

All throughout the night Kim kept thinking that maybe this really was the end of kick. That they really needed to stop pretending that the situation doesn't exist and just be done. But at the same time, Kim just wanted to tell Jack that she missed him, loved him and that she was so sorry but she didn't know how to even approach him and for some reason even through there was music blaring out the speakers, the room never seemed as quiet as it was now.

The party was on full blast but Kim was still standing alone not talking but watching everyone else have fun and she even caught Jack trying to have fun and she wondered if it was killing him not to be with someone like it was killing her. She didn't know what to say or how to act at parties like this since everything happened and again their perfect love story looked like a shattering movie.

Once school resigned after the holiday break Kim and Jack had a new mind set to things and it turned into a contest on who can pull off the awkward situation the best. Kim didn't like playing this game at all and honestly she liked it better when Jack was always there for her and by her side. She decided to change her attitude and it all started with letting her old feeling go and starting fresh. The following week when Kim saw Jack they were in another staring moment and deciding not to look away Kim gave him a light smile and wave. She was now giving him the opportunity to decide what he wanted to do. Kim would drop every barrier and wall she built if he said 'Everything will be aright' and that 'he still loved her or at least still had some feeling for her'. Kim wished she could tell him everything but if this didn't work out then their love story would be coming to an end.

The senior had free periods at the end of the day so they would all meet in the auditorium and have fun. And once again in the crowded building Kim was standing alone, her and Jack still not talking but she was trying to see if he was having any fun or if he was just as miserable as her. She was running out of excuses for her stupid decision on how the best thing she ever had turned to dust. Their love story was now fading into darkness.

Jack and Kim were still not speaking and it was totally eating them alive. They didn't know what to do as they were now holding on to their love story that was now a devastating theater classic by a thread. But knowing fate always plays a roll, things were about to change.

They had been broken up for about 8 months and everyone knew that that was enough time for them to need their space and everyone person who was in love with the Kim Crawford was going to make a move. It was in the beginning of February when everyone was trying to get their valentine and there was a certain boy who decided to make his move. He walked up to Kim Crawford with confidence and a bouquet of flowers. He lightly tapped her should and as she turned around she small smile faded even more and before the guy even had a chance to say anything Kim said, "I am sure you are a sweet guy but I am not interested, sorry". "Please Kim, give me a chance", the guy pleaded. "I am sorry but no", Kim said trying to stay calm. "Please, you", the guy started before he got cut off by another voice. "She said no", the voice said. Both Kim and the guy spun around to find Jack walking towards them. The guy was scared as Kim was speechless and soon enough the guy ran off in the other direction. "Thanks jack", Kim said in a soft voice not wanting to meet his eyes. There was silence as they both felt a little awkward. "So, how have you been?" Kim asked Jack looking up for the first time and realizing that he had a slight smile on his face. "Um, I've been okay. What about you?" he asked cautiously. Kim just shrugged her shoulders not knowing what to say. They were in another stare down as Kim took a deep breath and started her speech on what she needed and wanted to day for a long time now. "Jack, I am so sorry for everything that happened. I shouldn't have yelled or gotten angry with you and I should have come to you as soon as I learned the real reason behind the hug. I was stupid and stubborn. I know I hurt you and I hope that one day you could forgive me". Jack still had his small smile as he slowly reached for Kim's hand and once they touched, that electric feeling came rushing back. "Kim, it wasn't all you fault. I should have fought harder for you, for your trust and I shouldn't have let you walk away. I should have been more honest. We both made some stupid mistakes but I think now we have learned from them and of course I forgive you, but only if you forgive me too", Jack said squeezing her hand a little harder, letting her know he wasn't letting go anytime soon. After Kim heard that she jumped up swinging her arms around his neck. He quickly recovered as held her waist and her legs wrapped around torso. She started to cry into his neck for a few minutes but as soon as she calmed down Kim crocked out, "Of course I forgive you. I've missed you and I still love you, so much". Jack squeezed her tight against him and kissed her forehead replying, "I have missed you so much Kimmy and I never stopped loving you either". They stayed like that until the first bell rang, totally forgetting about the other students so when they finally released from each other's embrace they were surrounded by the entire student body who automatically erupted in cheer. The couple smiled as Jack whispered in Kim's ear, "Kimmy, will you be my girlfriend again?" Kim grinned as she grabbed his hand and went on to her tippy toes whispering, "I most definitely will". They both were over the moon as they took off to their first period hand in hand, leaving everyone to continue cheering at the reunited and very happy couple.

Whether it be to later that day, tomorrow, the next week, the next month, months later or even years down the road. This is will always be the story of Jack and Kim or in the words of the couple...THE STORY OF US.

The End

Please R&R, only constructive criticism welcomed and if you have any ideas or songs feel free to let me know.

So I don't mean to sound needy nor am I complaining and I will be honest and say that I have done this too, and by this I mean not reviewing on stories and I am not saying that everyone has too but I would like more reviews. I looked on my page today and I saw 255 views/221 visitors but I only got 3 reviews. I appreciate those who reviewed and I just want people to let me know if they like my story or not because if you don't then maybe I shouldn't write or I should do a different style of writing. Please realize that it takes a lot of work to write stories and if I don't know how people feel I may be wasting my time. So for the next one I am looking for anywhere between 10-15.

Thanks for understanding and until next time,
