A\N I really love these reviews you guys keep posting. I loveeee

y'all to much(: But anyway this chapter is kind of like the

turning point, but then again not really. But never the less, go

on and read. And the whole story is gonna be in Kim's P.O.V.

DISCLAIMER: I still don't own Kickin' It.

I woke up with the sun shining in my eyes. I had to move slowly to get up

because Jack was still asleep. He groaned a little, but other than that, I was

free. I had a nightmare so I walked down the aisle to shake it off a bit. I saw

Jack's grandfather trying to persuade Rudy to read his book. Knowing Rudy,

Jack's grandfather should give up while he's ahead but, like Jack, he was

persistent and wouldn't take no for an answer. Guess it runs in the family.

I walked to where Jerry, Milton, and Eddie were sitting to see if they knew

what Jack's problem was. "Hey you guys notice something going on with

Jack lately?" "Oh yeah," Milton nodded "but we thought you would know

what the problem was" "Oh. Well clearly I don't" I said annoyed and

frustrated. Eddie just shrugged. "Maybe its girl trouble" Jerry suggested. I

got a little angry at this idea.

How could Jack be like this over some girl? Then again it is Jerry's idea.

But it was a reasonable idea… I'll ignore it

"Well I'll be getting something to eat. When Jack gets up tell him to meet

me in the back" "Why so you can tell him that you like him?" Eddie said

while Jerry and Milton laughed. I leaned over and whispered "It's too early

in the morning to be bruised and bleeding, don't you think?" and with that

they all stopped laughing at once. I laughed to myself a little as I walked

away. "Hey Kim! Tell Jack that his dad had called for him" Jerry yelled. I

put a thumbs up to say that I received the message… LOUD and clear then

headed to the back of the plane.

Jack NEVER talks about his dad, so it was strange that he was calling now,

when we aren't even in the United States anymore.

I got to the back and decided I'd make myself a bagel with cream cheese

and jelly, just how I liked it. When I was spreading the jelly, Jack walked in

"Oh hey, look who's up" I said, greeting him with a smile. "Yeah," he

smiled back "you actually woke me up, I tried going back to sleep but I

couldn't" "Oh… sorry" Now I felt bad, Jack looked like he needed the sleep

I thought I slipped out pretty good. Oh well. "Naa, it's cool" "Good… I

kinda couldn't sleep either. I had a dream about you" Jack raised his

eyebrows. "Oh really?" he smirked. I was a little annoyed but mostly happy.

This was the annoying-teasing Jack I knew and I hadn't seen him in a while.

"It's wasn't like that. It was a nightmare" "Oh," he said, taking a piece of

my bagel "well it's about 3:00 and we got like 4 more hours to kill till we

land so you might as well tell me" he said and sat with one leg under him

showing me that he was ready to listen. I just smiled and sat next to him and

tried to remember my horrid dream. "Well, I remember that it was really

dark and I was walking home from the dojo and my ex-boyfriend, Chad.

You remember him right?" Jack nodded and toke a bite of the piece of my

bagel that he toke, then swallowed "Yeah, continue" "Yeah well, he said that

he didn't want me to be friends with you cause we're to close and then he

got so mad that pushed me down, I tried to fight back but he in the dream he

was like twice as strong so I started screaming for you to come and help me

but you never showed… and that's it" He was quiet for a while like he was

processing what I had just said, then said. "I'm sorry, but you have some

stupid dreams, Kim" "Yes, thank you kind best friend" I said loaded with

sarcasm. Then he laughed and said "I just mean that you and I both know

that will never happen. I would never let you get hurt like that and you know

it. I'll always protect you cause I care about you too much." Then he

casually toke another bit of the bagel, finishing his piece. "Really?" I said

still not believing a word I just heard. "No doubt about it" he said, smiling

his own smile. One that no other guy could ever do as much as they tried.

And his little dimple on the top left above his lips. And his – Whoa Kim,

calm down, he's just being thoughtful. Nothing new… But the way he said it

–it was nothing!

I locked the thought away and realizing how awkward it had gotten. I

cleared my throat "So... Umm. Oh! I almost forgot. Jerry told me to tell to

you that your dad had called for you" he suddenly got serious "What for?"

"Beats me, I'm just delivering the message" then he got up, apparently

feeling the need to walk around, and then I remembered. "What was the

matter with you yesterday?" "Why do you wanna know so badly" he asked

back coldly. "Because… I care about you too" I said, his face looked a bit

surprised for a split second then changed as he sighed and sat down next to

me again. It felt weird saying that to him in person, but it seemed to do the

trick. "You know how I didn't come to practice or school for like a whole

week?" "Yeah, you said you were on vacation" I said remembering how

alone I felt without Jack. I pushed the feeling aside and tried to focus. This

was more important. "Yeah well I wasn't. I was at the hospital for a few

days, then stayed home for the rest of the week with my mom" "The

hospital! Why what happened?" "Well my dad, he came home one night

wanting to talk to my mom but she was out with my grandfather that

evening so I was home alone. I told him she wasn't here. I could see that he

was drunk and smelled like cigarettes. He got angry when I refused to tell

him where she had gone and who she had gone with, so he got angry and

started smashing stuff and breaking glass, next thing I know, he's throwing

glass at me and a piece cut through my shirt and sliced me. After that I got

angry and tried to fight him, but he was too drunk and too strong. I think he

knocked me out because next thing I know I was at the hospital with a

bandage around my waist where the glass had sliced me and an ice pack on

my head. My grandfather was the one to come and carry me home. At home

I reached my mom crying her eyes out, which is why I stayed home for the

rest of the week. I couldn't just leave her like that. And seeing her like that

just made me angrier at my stupid father for hurting her like that. That's why

my grandfather thought it was a good reason for us to leave to go to Brazil,

for some closure" he put air-quotes around the word closure "so that's it,

now you see how I really am" he finished. His head had been down the

whole time. Not looking up at me once. I was over the top shocked. Jack

was like the happiest person in the world. Now look at him. It's like his

father toke what made Jack himself, right out of him. Now I was the one

who was angry "Jack you're not weak at all. I don't wanna admit this but,

your better in karate then I am." Only by a little though. "Jack, he's like a 40

yr old man, and you're like what? 13. Of course he was stronger but your

still the best." "But still, I should have been able to take him" Jack said

standing up. "Look what the bastard did to me!" he lifted up his shirt to

show me, I have to admit the slice was deep and pretty bad, but it was hard

concentrating on the problem with 6 packs of abs staring back at me. I had to

use all my will power to concentrate on what he was saying instead of how

his body moved while he talked. "I can barely move, and I can't do karate

for like 3 weeks, basically until this heals" I felt so bad for him, I didn't even

have words to say. "Jack…" I stood up and placed my hand on his shoulder

for comfort. But all he did was take my hand in his and hanged his head low.

"Trust me, everything's gonna turn out fine in the end. And if it doesn't, I'm

still here." He smiled a bit, but not enough to bring back the old Jack.

"Thanks… I guess" he said softly "For what?" "For always sticking with

me, even with what I just told you" "You know I'll always stick by you.

We're best friends"." "Always?" he asked, raising his head up. "Always."

And with that he just stared into my eyes forcing me to stare into his. If he

wasn't holding me with my own eyes. I would have drowned in his. I was

literally being pulled closer to his face by just his eyes and when there was

an un-measurable distance between my face and his, he suddenly let go of

my hand and backed up "Kim I-I should get to my seat, I gotta rest my side.

" he gestured to his wound. I backed up quickly "Yeah sure" I said as he

rushed out.

Ugh what did I just do? Did I actually try and kiss Jack? I didn't like him

it was just…in the moment.

Great.. now I probably ruined everything. I sat down and out my head in my

hands. "Passengers welcome to Brazil, please return to your seats and

prepare for landing" I heard over the speakers. I sighed and trudged

unwillingly to my now very awkward seating area.

A\N SO yeah that was a long chapter. But Jack finally told Kim what

happened. But why do YOU think jack rejected her?

Reviewww!
