I swear I made them paragrapghs my family computer is really old and the mouse has had it so it must have done something to it so don't worry I'll fix them now. So here's another chapter with a very Kick ending
Chapter 3
I sat outside on the grassy ground reading my book. I didn't want to eat with my friends so I came out here during lunch when everyone was in the cafeteria.
Suddenly I heard yelling from a little bit away from me. "You're what?" I heard a girl screech, "No one breaks up with my I'm the most popular girl in school." I looked closer and saw it was Donna and Jack arguing.
"I'm sorry Donna I can't be with you right now! I need to help a friend and I can't have you clinging on to me everywhere!"
"I am not clingy!" She spat back. Jack raised his eyebrows.
"Donna!" He yelled and started laughing while he said, "You followed me out here!" She huffed and stormed back inside. Jack started looking around. I turned away hoping not to get his attention.
When I looked up he was gone. I let out a breath I forgot I was holding in. I jumped when someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Can I sit with you?" He asked.
"Since when are you being nice too me again?" I huffed at him.
"Kim... We were best friends I can't stand not talking to you."
"Two weeks ago you couldn't stand me!" I snapped at him with tears in my eyes.
He let out a huff, "I know Kim. You kept being a bitch about my girlfriend of course I was going to get upset. I just didn't think you felt that way. I'm so sorry." I smiled at him. We sat in a comfortable silence as he put his arm around me and I rested on his shoulder.
"Tell me about your sister." I said breaking the silence. He looked at me shocked.
"How do you know about her?"
"I overheard you talking to my parents last night."
He hesitated but breathed a sharp breath, "Her name was Melanie. We called her Mel." He chuckled with tears in his eyes, "She was just like you. She hated being called Melanie or Milly just plain Mel. She was very beautiful and skinny. She was so strong. When we were younger my step dad had raped her. He also abused me. He did this for 6 years! She was 9 and I was 5!" He shed a couple of traitor tears, "When I was 10 I started cutting myself. My mother didn't notice but my sister did. She helped me and told me it'll get better and she loves me no matter what. My sister got bullied because she was sociopathic and didn't have any friends. She was stronger than me. When she was 16 she got her first boyfriend. One night I saw him hit her and I ran in to defend my sister. A thirteen year old against a 16 year old? Of course... I beat the crap out of him." He laughed and I smiled, "He broke up with her after that and she was crushed. She blamed me and zoned everyone out. A few months later I noticed her gettin thinner and thinner. Don't get me wrong I love my mum but she's always drunk most of the time so she didn't notice. Mel kept getting thinner and thinner until one day I came home and she was passed out on the floor. I called 911 and they told me she had to stay in the hospital for a while. She stayed there for 4 weeks and she came home. She still looked skinny maybe even worse than before. One day she was taken away by strange men who showed up to our house. She was kicking and screaming at them to let her go. I saw my mum crying and I asked her what was going on. She told me Mel was leaving to get better and she'll be back soon." He stopped there. "You wanna know how long she was gone?"
I was in tears. Jack had been through more than I thought and I felt selfish for putting my problems in front of his. "She was gone for 2 years until she came back. She was practically bald! She was so thin she couldn't walk. She had so many lung and kidney infections and she was always so cold. The doctors said they couldn't fix her. Even when they force fed her she would throw it all up. One night When she was 19 and I was 14 it was my 15 birthday the next day. I walked into her room she stroked my face and she could barely talk. She looked like she was 60 years old! She asked me if I was still cutting myself. I lied and told her I wasn't but I was... All because of her. I had to get stitches most of the time. But I would never tell her that." I suddenly started wondering if Jack was still cutting himself? "She died that next morning. I found her dead corpse on her bed as I ran in there about to gloat about my birthday. A couple of months later we moved here and I just wore long sleeves and pretended I didn't have a sister." He wiped the tears from his eyes and put his walls up.
"Jack. I didn't know that happened to you." I said, "I'm sorry." He nodded and hugged me tightly. "I promise I'll stop." I said.
He pulled away from me and wiped the tears I didn't know we're falling from my eyes, "You won't." He told me quietly.
"I will I promise!" I told him. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't going to start eating but after that story I don't want Jack too worry.
"You're lying too me Kim!" He half yelled at me. "Please... You need help." He pushed the hair away from my face.
"I don't need too see a shrink or go to rehab I'm not that bad! I haven't stopped eating for four years just a few weeks and I'm still eating..."
"Lettuce right?" He said. "My sister used too nibble on pieces of lettuce and the ends of bite sized crackers." I nodded my head, "That's practically eating water!" He yelled at me.
"Stop yelling at me." I said crying into my knees as I curled up into a ball. "I'm trying I really am."
"Bullcrap!" He didn't calm down. "Kim you need too get help! I'm not going to let another girl who I love more than anything let this stupid disease take over them! It's like it's brainwashed you. Have you not noticed you're being a total sociopath lately? Well Eddie, Milton, Grace, Julie and even Jerry have noticed!" I was crying so hard now. I tried hiding my tears from the angry boy. He grabbed my chin and raised it so we were inches away from eachother. "I love you Kim." I smiled at him.
"I love you too Jack."
I hope you all like it, again I'm so sorry about the paragraph things I'll try to fix it
