OMG did you get a chance to hear Can't Touch This by Olivia. If you didn't it's too late. :( Anyway I know it's been a while but I've been really really busy with basketball and homework, there's not much time for me to do anything right now but I'll figure out a schedule so that you guys don't have to wait forever foe another chapter.


KIM'S P.O.V

I threw myself to ground crying into my hands. Everyone around me was staring at me as if I was crazy and to be honest I kinda felt crazy. I kept telling myself that it was because of Kyle but I couldn't help but feel that there was more to it than just that. I've been ridiculously emotional these last few days and I don't know why.

"Mommy I'm okay." Kyle whispered in my ear, grabbing at my hand.

"I know buddy. You're the strongest kid ever." I pulled him into my chest and continued crying until I felt Jack's hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him as the tears began to subside. "I'm sorry." I apologized.

"For what?" He asked, helping me stand up. "For caring about our son?" My heart swelled, hearing him say our son made the knot in my chest tighten. "You don't have to apologize for that." He whispered.

"I'm really sorry about all of this but the doctor would like to organize some appointments and talk to you about possible solutions." The nurse announced, making her presence known.

"Okay." I took a deep breath, trying to composing myself.

"Take your time Kim." Jack whispered in my ear. "We're not in a rush so if you need a minute or two, you got it." He wrapped his arms around me and I pretty much fell into his hold. A few seconds with his arms around me can change my whole attitude. I pulled away after a minute or two and grabbed Kyle.

"How do you feel about this, Kyle?" I asked him. He gave me a huge smile.

"I'm fine mommy. I know the doctors will help me. They helped me last time." He replied.

"That's a good way to look at it buddy." We spoke to Kyle's doctor and she told us that we should probably just put Kyle through surgery again and then if they came back after that we would do radiation. After speaking to the doctor I felt a lot better. She sounded really confident about the procedure.

"What should we do today Kyle?" I asked him as we turned onto our street.

"I don't know." Kyle replied with a shrug

"Hey Kim, have you talked to your dad about moving in lately?" Jack asked as we pulled into the driveway.

"Not recently. Last time I talked to him about it he said something about waiting until we're married." I replied.

"Why? Does it really make a difference?" I shrugged and hopped out the car.

"I don't think it makes a difference but apparently he does. I help Kyle get out of his car seat while Jack opens the front door.

"Well let me know if they say something about moving in." We walk into the house.

"So anyway, what should we do today Kyle?" I ask.

"Umm... we should go to the dojo." Kyle replied.

"Okay, are you going to the group with us Jack?" I turn around so I'm facing him.

"No, I'm gonna try to get some sleep. I haven't been able to sleep at night." He replied. I found that kinda strange because he's been sleeping just fine according to what I've seen and he loves karate more then anyone but I don't say anything about his decision

"Okay." I take Kyle upstairs and help him pack his karate bag. I go to grab mine out of Jack and my room but I spot Jack laying on the bed, tossing and turning. "Babe are you okay?" I ask, walking over to him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to get comfortable." He replied.

"Okay, call me if you need anything." I give him a quick, and grab my bag. I'm about to walk out of the room when I hear Jack's voice.

"Kim wait." I stop and turn to face him. "I love you." He sais, holding out his arms.

"I love you to." I give him a tight hug and he kisses my head.

"Have fun." I slowly walk out of the room. Ever since he got back everything he does feels strange. During the drive to the dojo I call Mariah and Grace, asking if I should be concerned by this but they both tell me that everything's fine and that I'm probably just reading too far into it but I don't agree with them. After about two hours of practice at the dojo I take Kyle out for ice cream and then we head home. The house is empty when we get back but there's a note from Jack on the kitchen counter. I pick up the note.

Went to Jerry's, be back soon- Love You

The note read. I pulled out my phone and sent him a quick text.

Why did you leave a note? You know we have these things called cell phones? You could've called me.

I don't get a reply at all which concerns me even more because Jack always responds to my texts. When Jack still hasn't replied to my text at nine pm I decide to call him. He picks up on the first ring.

"Hey Babe, how's it going?" His voice sounds slightly slurred.

"Jack, where are you and why didn't you respond to my text?" I asked.

"I was busy. I'm gonna be home in a few minutes." His slurred speech has me questioning whether I want him to come home or not.

"Jack, have you been drinking?" I ask.

"No."

"If I find out that your lying I'm leaving. I'm going to stay at my dad's house. It's not fair for me to leave Kyle in this type of environment."With that being said I hang up. A few minutes later I hear Jack's truck pull into the driveway and the front door opens a minute later.

"Hey little man I hear Jack's voice.

"Hi daddy." I walk into the living room and see Kyle hugging Jack. I love that Kyle loves Jack just as much as I do. I slowly walk closer to them.

"Het Kimmy." Jack gives me a large smile and it becomes quiet obvious that he's high. He's eyes are droopy but his smile is large. His neck looks like it can't hold up his head and his eyes are bloodshot.

"Come on Kyle, get your shoes on, we're gonna visit pops." I tell him. Jack starts walking toward me and tries to grab my arm but I quickly step to the left, evading him.

"Come on Kim. I wasn't drinking." He whispers it so Kyle can't hear. Kyle run as up the stairs to grab his shoes.

"No but you were clearly smoking and that is worse than drinking." I push him out of my way and walk to the door when I see Kyle coming down the stairs.

"Come on daddy." Kyle pulls on his hand.

"Daddy's not coming Kyle, he needs some time to think." The last part was more for Jack. "Call me when you've got it all figured out." Kyle runs out the door first and I'm ready to follow him but Jack stops me.

"Kim please don't leave me." Jack begs. "You know I can't do this without you."

"Well then you better think fast." I walk out the door and get in my car. Kyle's already in his car seat, buckled up and ready to go.

The drive to my dad's house feels like forever and Kyle's asleep before we pulled into the driveway but as soon as I see my dad I know I made the right choice. I tell him about what happened. Everything. He tells me that it was very mature and smart of me to leave which is very relieving considering last time I confided in him he told me I was wrong. He also tells me that I can stay as long as I need to and Morgan makes us dinner.

Jack calls a few times but I don't answer. It hasn't been long enough. I know he's still high and I know he really hasn't thought about anything. As bad is it may sound, I want him to know what it feels like when I'm gone. I want him to suffer for a while so that he understands what it will be like if he does it again. I want him to know that if he does it again, I won't come back. No matter how much I love him and don't want to let go. I won't go back next time.


So I know some of you are probably angry right now. Let me know what you think. I will not take as long to post the next chapter I swear.

kicklover1221- Glad I could motivate you. You should definitely start posting your stories. Don't be afraid. I was scared to share my work before and now I have people like you telling me that I've motivated them and helped them through tough times so you never know. You could be someone else's greatest inspiration. Give it a shot you can always delete them if it becomes uncomfortable. I'd definitely read them :)
