A/N~ Hey guys sorry for the late update. I think form now on I will update every Monday. It will give me the chance to write better longer chapters. Sadly this one will come to its end in the next few. After this one is I will write a new one. So I will stop rambling and give you chapter 4….

Kim P.O.V.

I had called home. First they yelled at me for not calling sooner. After they calmed down and stopped yelling they said I could go.

I think it was weird that Jack acted like that. I mean he is such a strong person. Now that I think about it I was the first person he told about his situation. I wonder why?

The drive to his house was silent except for Jack telling me what direction to go in. (I had drove my car to school that day.) When we got onto his street I realized something… this was MY street we had been driving basically to my house the WHOLE time. Then when I got closer I found out he lives right next door. How did I not know that this incredibly awesome handsome guy lived next door? Wait. Did I just call Jack awesome and handsome?

By force of habit I pulled into my driveway; although now that I think about it made sense cause why would I drive to the house next door still I was distracted. "This is the wrong house." Jack said calmly but confused.

"I know this isn't your house. But it is mine." I say while getting out of the car

"So you live right next door to me?" Jack asked once again confused

"Uh huh" I said but then we went into an awkward silence

Then the front door opened. My mom came running. "Kim, I thought you were doing a project at some boy's house this afternoon." She looked up and down at Jack then whispered in my ear so quiet no one else can hear "He's cute." I just rolled my eyes. "Mom I just parked here in the driveway because he lives next door. So see ya."

I then took Jack by his wrist and ran to his house basically dragging him there.

Jack P.O.V.

Her mom was really sweet. Then her mom whispered something in Kim's ear. I swore I saw Kim blush for a second. Then she took me by the wrist and dragged me to my house.

"Kim I have to warn you my dad is a little unpredictable." I saw Kim shake and in her eyes I saw that she wanted to cower away but this went away a second later. "It's okay. Let's go." I open the door right as my dad was walking to it.

"Why did you bring some girl home? You know you have chores to do." My step dad said in one of his angriest voices. After the first sentence Kim hid behind my back. I felt her grab my shirt too.

I just stood up straight looked him straight in the eye and said "We have to finish a project for school. I'll do my chores after she leaves." I moved Kim in front of me since the stairs were right there and walked behind her up the stairs. Then I heard my dad call after me "If you get her knocked up don't come crying to me."

"Oh my room is right over there." It was the farthest to right in the house. The first thing she did when she walked into my room was run over to the window.

"Oh my God; Jack come over here." So I walk over to the window "That's my room." Kim said pointing at the window that was next door.

"Really? That's cool. But Kim we really need to finish our project." I smiled at her then led her over to my bed. That's when I tripped over something and landed up on the bed. On top of Kim. After that I just got lost in her doe brown eyes. My heart just got quicker the longer we stayed like that.

Then my step brothers walked in and ruined the moment. "So we heard you have a girl over?" They both gasped ran over to the bed and pulled me off of Kim.

"What were you doing to the KIM CRAWFORD!? How could you violate such a beautiful human being?" That's when 'Thing One' (A/N~ Nickname you will hear though out the story) slapped me square across the face.

"STOP! Jack didn't do anything to me. He tripped and fell. So buzz off." For the first time my step brothers silently walked away. They met their match and her name was Kim Crawford.

After fifteen minutes of work we finished our project. Kim jumped up, said yay, and did a little happy dance. Then she said something totally unexpected. "So what chores do we have to do?" My jaw hit the floor.

"You don't have to do that." I said while shaking my head

"It's the least I can do." She smiled her famous smile that I couldn't say no to.

"Well okay then. First we have to wash the dishes. Do the laundry. Lastly we have to cook dinner." I said wracking my brain for the chores I had to do today.

While we were washing dishes Kim accidently splashed me with bubbles. Then I put some bubbles on her nose.

That was the beginning of our full on bubble battle. Lucky the bubbles dissolved on the floor so we didn't have to clean them up.

After that we went down to the basement to do the laundry. Washing the clothes went by – uneventful.

Then we went back up to the kitchen too cook. "So what do you wanna cook?" Kim asked wide eyed with excitement.

"Um… it's soup night. So I'm just gonna make some chicken noodle soup." I said while walking over to the cabinet to get out the noodles.

"Okay. So do you want me to cut up the chicken and carrots?" Kim asked while getting the knife out of the drawer.

"Yeah." I went over to the fridge and freezer to get out the chicken and carrots.

So we made the soup. Together. Surprisingly it got done really quickly with two people cooking. We all ate dinner in an awkward silence. After we ate dinner me and Kim went back up to my room by the time we got up there it was 7:30 at night.

"Oh sorry Jack I gotta go." Kim said but she looked scared. I'm assuming it was because she didn't want to run into my step father again.

"Just go out the window. There is a tree right there so just use it as a bridge to get to your window." I said. At the mention of this Kim brightened and smiled at me, swung her backpack over her shoulder and left; out the window.

I was about to walk away from the window when she yelled back at me "Wait! I need your number." So I rolled my eyes, smiled at her, and gave her my number.

The next day I woke up to a text message.

(Kim italics; Jack bold)

Hey better get ur butt over her. Remember I have to follow u around all day

Yes sooo don't wear something too pretty

Still get over here soon. We have to walk. Long story

K. I'll come through the window when I'm ready

Kk.

So I took a shower, put on a dark purple shirt, dark wash jeans, and my purple Vans high tops then grabbed my backpack. After that I climbed through the window to her house.

When I got over there I saw something unexpected. Kim is in something preppy (but not too preppy) it looked… normal. She looked… hot. Then a word slipped out of my mouth "Wow." (A/N~ The outfit is on my profile)

A/N~ Sorry this was supposed to be up yesterday but there was a… issue. So did you like? Review. Or don't.
