I wrote this a long time ago. Not all that proud of it and I know someone asked for a Jack's POV story. I'll get to it because I have no idea what to write about. Expect that in maybe three or four chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It
Years ago Jack Anderson moved to Seaford and met Kim Crawford. The pair of teens hit it off immediately and they quickly became best friends. They faced the Black Dragons, got their friends girlfriends, helped one be voted the best dancer in a competition, met Bobby Wasabi, threw parties, dealt with Ricky Weaver, defeated a robot, traveled to China, and went on many other adventures. Jack had convinced Kim to join the Bobby Wasabi dojo after hers had cheated in their first tournament against each other when Jack and first moved to Seaford. Jack, Kim, Jerry, Milton, and Eddie had all a blast together until the teenagers' leader and manys idol, Mr. Jack Anderson exited their lives as quickly as he had entered.
One October day Jack came to the dojo after school just like always with his duffel bag ready to pack his stuff. Jack didn't go into the locker room he just walked straight to his locker, pulled out his stuff and threw it in his bag. The guys and Kim had all walked in and Rudy came out of his office to see Jack shutting his locker, bag in hand. "Jack what's going on? Why are you packing?" Rudy questioned worriedly.
Jack looked up at all of them with sadness spread all over his face, "I'm leaving." he said so quietly it could qualify as a whisper.
"You mean you're just taking the day off right?" Milton asked pleading.
"No, leaving leaving. I'm moving." Jack said sadly. No one said a word they all just walked glumly over to the benches and sat down.
"When?" Eddie asked looking up at Jack.
"Late tonight." Jack replied.
"That fast huh?" Milton wondered aloud.
"Yo man, I'm gonna miss you." Jerry said getting up and giving Jack a hug. A real hug, not a bro-hug, because this time it didn't matter who cool or 'swag' they looked, all that mattered was the fact that Jack was leaving. Milton, Eddie and Rudy followed Jerry's action.
"We really are." Rudy said giving Jack another pat on the back. Jack's eyes landed on Kim who had been silent the whole time and was just staring at the ground. He began walking over to her and the guys all left the two best friends alone. Jack knelt down in front of Kim and took her hands in his.
"Kim." Jack said to her. She looked up at him with glassy eyes and frown. When she saw how sad his face looked she couldn't help it anymore. She broke down and cried and threw her arms around him. Jack hugged her tightly back and just leg her cry into his shirt. "I'm gonna miss you the most Kim."
Kim pulled back from their embrace and looked into his eyes, "I can't believe you're leaving." She sniffed. Jack whipped her tears away with his thumb. "I always knew it would happen but not this soon." She began crying again and he pulled her in closer to him.
"I'm sorry Kimmy. I wish I didn't have to but I don't have a choice." Jack explained while rubbing her back.
"I know I wish you could stay here with me though." She said shakily.
"I have to go now I'm so sorry. I'll come back and visit as soon as I can I promise." Jack whispered to her.
She let go of him and he grabbed his stuff and began to walk to the door before Kim stopped him, "Wait Jack!" He turned around and she ran up to him again and hugged him once more. She looked deep Ito his eyes and found the motivation so say what she had been holding herself back from admitting for months. "I love you." she whispered. She really did believe she loved him, not one of those playful 'I love you's that gets thrown around so often these days with no meaning behind it. No, Kim truly meant it.
Jack didn't say anything he just leaned in and kissed her and to his surprise, she kissed him back. The kiss was short, only lasting a minute before they both pulled away. "I love you too Kimmy. Never forget that." He whispered and let go of her before grabbing his stuff turning around and walking out the door, never looking back.
Kim spent the next week crying her eyes out, not going to school once. Her mother could barely get her out of her room, let alone eat something, but Kim didn't want to eat or leave her room, she wanted Jack. She wanted her best friend back next to her to dry her tears and make her forget her worries, but she knew that couldn't happen. Jack was hundreds of miles away from Seaford California in Washington D.C. She hasn't heard from him or heard anything about him since he had left her a week ago. She could barely stand her life and if the guys didn't constantly keep coming by to check on her she would have nothing left to live for.
One Saturday morning Kim finally decided to leave her room and do something other than cry. She needed to get her mind off of Jack. She went to her home away from home, the Bobby Wasabi dojo. The bell chimed when she slowly opened the door and everyone was there, everyone except for Jack of course. Milton, Eddie, Jerry, and Rudy all stood there as she walked in and sat on a bench before asking questions.
"Thank god you're alright Kim we were so worried." Rudy quickly said.
"Just remember Kim we will always be there for you." Milton said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah." The rest of the guys coursed. She stood up silently and hugged them all.
"Thank you." She whispered.
And of course leave it to Jerry to destroy the moment, "Kim, before Jack left what did he say to you?"
"JERRY?" Everyone yelled at him giving him a 'really?' look.
"No, no it's fine guys really." Kim answered quietly. "Before he left he told me he was going to miss me the most," Jerry mumbled something in Spanish when he heard that and Eddie elbowed him to shut up before gesturing for Kim to go on, "and he told me he was sorry he had to leave." She couldn't finish. She couldn't say what he had told her before he walked out that door.
She looked down and Milton, knowing Kim the best besides Jack, understood she didn't or couldn't finish so he saved her, "So, uh, how bout we all get something to eat, I'm hungry." Milton said and Kim looked at him with a thoughtful 'thank you' look.
The guys nodded and starting walking to the door, "You guys comin'?" Eddie asked pushing the door open.
"We'll catch up with you guys in a minute." Milton said as the rest of the guys turned and exited the dojo, leaving Milton and Kim alone. "That wasn't all he said was it?" Milton asked Kim walking over to the bench she was currently sitting on. Kim shook her said no and Milton sat down next to her. "What else did he say?" Milton asked even though he already had an idea.
Kim looked up at him with tears cascading down her cheeks. "He told me that he loved me back." The whispered so quietly that Milton could barely understand it. He didn't say anything he just rubbed her back in a friendly way as she sniffled and sat on the bench staring at the floor. "Can I have some time to myself please?" She asked quietly but politely and Milton nodded, getting up and going off to find the guys. Kim got up from her sitting position and lay down on the mats before crying herself to sleep.
Kim woke up not knowing where she was or what was going on. Memories of her chat with Milton and crying herself to sleep folded her mind. She sat up and looked around to find a messy, cluttered office. She was currently sitting on a couch that Rudy let them sleep on when they were tired. The couch brought back memories of Jack, when he decided to stay up for two days playing a video game. Feeling her eyes beginning to water again, she sighed and lay back down. She was desperately wishing all that was happening was a dream, that she would open her eyes and it would all go away somehow and she would walk to the dojo to find Jack, murdering a dummy like always. She closed her eyes knowing that would never happen and but she still wished it would.
Kim returned to school on Monday to find everyone apologizing to her for Jack having to leave. She hated it. To her they were all acting as if he had died and they were apologizing for her loss, which in a way they were. Kim's grades began to drop from all A's to B's with the occasional C. She dropped cheerleading and every other extracurricular activity she took part in, except the school news, for she aspired to be a journalist, and karate, which was the only way she still felt connected to Jack. She didn't email, text or call Jack for the fear of the memories of him leaving her to come flooding back.
Before she knew it, a year had passed and it was now Christmas. Kim's mood had increased along with her grades as her depression left her. She never forgot about Jack, in fact he was her drive, the reason her life had begun to improve again. She always reminded herself 'what would Jack want me to do?' and that helped her through it. She walked into the dojo on Christmas day, everyone's parents allowed them to meet up since they were all one big family. The dojo was decorated with red, silver, and gold and there was a pile of presents in the corner, their gifts to one another. When they all entered the dojo they were met by am extremely excited Rudy who was almost bursting at the seams with joy. Everyone, including Jerry waved it off as Christmas spirit, because Rudy loved getting presents, as they had all discovered when he threw himself a birthday party two years ago. Before any Christmassy stuff had taken place they spent two hours training and practicing like always. When everyone was changed and showered they all sat on the mats and brought the presents to the center. Everyone had for gifts, one from everyone in front of them. They all took turns opening presents, receiving gift cards, headphones, textbooks, shoes, candy and more stuff before they had all opened all their gifts and were thanking each other.
They were all about to start talking about something else other than their gifts when Rudy stopped them, "Before we do anything else, Kim you have one more gift." Rudy said handing her an envelope.
"Who's it from?" She asked puzzled as she took it and began opening it.
"You'll see." Rudy said deviously and Kim took out another envelope, opening it to find yet another. While Kim was in the process of opening and opening more and more envelopes Jack snuck out of the boys' locker room and behind her. The guys all looked up at him ecstatic but Jack put his finger to his lips telling them to be quiet. When Kim finally reached the last envelope she took out a note that said, 'turn around' and that is what she did.
When Kim turned around she saw Jack standing behind her. "Jack!" She yelled delighted and threw her arms around his neck squeezing him in a hug.
Jack hugged her back and laughed, "You have no idea how much I missed you Kim."
"I can't believe you're here! Why are you?" She asked still over joyed that her best friend and true love that she hasn't seen in over a year, is back on Christmas day to surprise her.
"To surprise you of course." He laughed.
"How long are you staying?" She asked him worriedly.
"Forever." He whispered in her ear spending chills down her spine.
"Really?" She asked in shock.
"Yes really." He replied.
The stared into each other's eyes for a while, eyes that neither of them has seen in person for ages, before someone, Jerry, once again ruined the moment, "Hey if you two lovebirds are done I believe you have some kissing to do." Everyone, including Milton, Eddie and Rudy looked at Jerry confused and annoyed knowing that is what the long lost couple was about to do. Jerry gestured toward to mistletoe hanging above Jack and Kim's heads.
Jack and Kim both looked at each other before he whispered, "Remember what I told you before I left?" He asked.
"You told me never to forget it so yeah I remember." She whispered back.
"Well I still and always will love you Kim." Jack said leaning his forehead against hers.
"I know. I love you too Jack." she whispered before she closed the space and kissed him. The guys all cheered for the sight in front of them and once the pulled apart, Jack and Kim laughed before they were crushed in a group hug. This truly was a happily ever after.
Again, not happy with it. Heads up for the next one, it's about disease mainly, no real KICK stuff. I did it for a science project and thought it would be a good thing to inform people about.
