Jack POV

I was walking home from karate practice all alone. Normally I walked with Kim, but today she didn't come. Nor did she show up at school. I talked with her this morning so I know she isn't sick. Nothing sounded different either. I'm really worried about her. Hey! I'm her best-friend! I have the right to worry!

I hoped up the steps of my porch and walked into my room. Right as I was going to sit on my bed, my cell phone rang. Ugh! It's probably Jerry!

"What!" I screamed into the receiver.

I waited for an answer but all I could hear was wheezing. Then the person came closer to the phone. I heard muffled sobbing and sniffling.

I looked at my iPhone and saw Kim's beautiful face show up. Oh my gosh! Kim's crying! And I just yelled at her!

"I'm sorry - sniffle - I - breathe - bothered - hiccup - you." she cried out.

"No! I thought you were Jerry! I didn't mean it! What's wrong Kim?" I answered quickly.

"I-I-I just need you right now." she stuttered out.

"Kim. Stay where you are. I'm on my way to your house." I told her.

"Okay, Jack. Hurry." she said.

I hung up the phone and darted out my door with Nutella in my hand. Kim's favorite. I grabbed a couple of romantic/comedies that I knew would cheer her up. Then tucked Bob, my fuzzy blanket I have had since I was 3 that Kim adores, under my arm and headed out of my house.

After locking the front door, I ran straight to Kim's house in 10 seconds flat! I didn't want her to wait any longer. She needed me right now and I was going to be there.

I flung open her front door and heard multiple sobs throughout the house. Her mom was the loudest. What happened to the Crawford family?

I marched up the stairs and stood outside Kim's older sister Kassidy's room. Kassidy was in college now and was only home on holidays and important occasions, so I didn't expect to hear noise from the other side. Something bad has happened and I want to know what.

I got to Kim's door and knocked, "Kim? Can I come in?"

"Y-Yes." Kim took a shaky breath.

She was curled up in a ball with her head buried under her pillow. Their were used tissues all over the room that I had to step around. Once I made it safely to her bed, I sat next to her unseen body.

"Kim? Kim? Look at me." I tell her.

The bed starts shaking and she quietly says, "No."

"Why not?" I ask her.

"Because. I don't want you to see me like this." she whispers.

"I brought Nutella!"

She didn't budge, "I'm not in the mood, Jack."

What? Not in the mood? For Nutella? She loves Nutella and never turns it down! It always cheers her up!

"Alright, Kim. That's it. I wanna know whats up and I want to help."

This caused her to throw her covers off of her face and then she gripped my shirt, pulling me into a hug. She started sobbing right into my shirt, burrowing her face in my shoulder.

"Kim," I softly whispered in her ear while I stroked her hair, "Please tell me what's wrong."

I really wanted to know. I can't stand to see her this heartbroken. It makes me want to sit down and cry with her.

She leaned back and I wiped away her tears.

She sat there and stared at me for a while and then she breathed in deeply, "I-Its m-my d-dad." she quivered then she started crying again.

The only thing I don't know about Kim. I have never meet or even seen her dad! He was never home. Kim never talked about him so I didn't know anything about him! I just thought he left her mom and her and her sister all alone. I didn't know what to say. I was speechless.

"What about him, Kim?" I questioned.

"H-He's MIA."

MIA. Missing In Action. Kim's Dad is in the army! That's why I've never seen him! But he's MIA. Oh my gosh! Poor Kim!

"Come here." I pulled her close to me and hand her a tissue, "He'll be okay Kim. He will be found and will make his way back home to you." I wrapped Bob around us and Kim snuggles in close.

I wish I could stay in this moment forever.

"Thanks Jack. You're the best" She smiled up at me.

I chuckled and replied, "No problem. It's what I live for." Soon whispering a quick, "You."

"Do you really mean that? You live for me." she whispers as quiet as me.

She heard me! What do I do?

"Yeah. I do, Kim. I always will. But you weren't suppose to he-"

Before I could finish, she pulls me close and smashes her lips onto mine. As soon as it started, It was over.

"That's the sweetest thing anyone has said to me." She giggles, "Jack Brewer, You really know how to cheer a girl up."

"Glad I could be of assistance." I smile at her, "Now lets go watch some movies! I brought rom-coms!"

"How did you know!" she squealed.

"That's how I roll!" I cockily-grin.

"Let's go you dufus!" she yelled at me and exited the room.

I still have one thing to do!

I entered Kim's movie room and sat on the couch. Kim popped in Friends With Benefits and sat next to me.

Halfway through the movie Kim turned to me with Nutella all over her lips.

"Kim, You have a little something," I pointed to her lips.

"Where?"

"Here. I got it." I leaned in a kissed her.

She giggled, "Is it all gone now?"

"Let me check again." I replied.

I kissed her again and then leaned back.

"Kim, with all that's happened tonight, I know this is sudden but, Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course, Jack! I have waited for this moment, forever." She smiled at me and then snuggled into my chest, "My dad would have loved you you know."

"Kim. Don't talk like that. He is coming back. You've just got to have faith and believe it. He will come back. I can feel it."

"How do you know that, Jack?" she looked at me quizzically with tears in her eyes.

Oh no! Not with the waterworks again!

I wink and then respond, "Because, I will make sure he's there to walk you down the aisle."

Hope you liked it:) I wanted to make this a little lovey-dovey and have Jack be there for Kim:) Hope it was good enough for ya:) Love Y'all!:)
