They just have pen names so it's easier to address them and all. AND, A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO 2 CERTAIN REVIEWERS:
Akaynin- You were my very first reviewer. At first, I didn't get any response. Then I see that I have one review, and it was yours. Thank you for not only being the first reviewer, but one of my top two most loyal reviewers. You have no idea how much I love reviews. Thanks for sticking by the story.
FreakierThanFreaks- You have written a review for EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER. I counted a total of 8 reviews from you. There are 8 chapters, including the AN's. I would just like to say thanks for sticking by my story and showing the interest that you did. It really means a lot.
Oh gosh, I'm turning into an over-emotional writer with endless AN's. But seriously, my readers are my inspiration. Enjoy:)
"What are you doing here Weaver?" Jack asked, disdain dripping from each syllable. He stepped in front of me, putting an arm out on instinct to be protective. Ricky just laughed. He had a smug smirk on his face.
"I just came by to talk to Kim. But apparently there's something going on between you two." He said, gesturing at me and Jack. I felt Jack tense up in front of me and I felt the blush spreading across my cheeks.
"N-n-n-no. There's nothing going on between us." I managed to stutter out. Ricky didn't seem to convinced.
"It sure didn't look like nothing when I walked i-" Ricky was cut off by a cry from the bench. The babies. I ran over and tried to find out which baby was crying. It was Colton. I lifted him out of the carrier and started feeding him. "Wait, when did Kim have a baby?" He asked confused. I shook my head.
"Why does everyone always assume it's my baby? It's fake Ricky. Me and Jack have to take care of it for a project." I explained, sitting on the bench. Ricky nodded, flipping his hair annoyingly.
"Whatever. I'll come by later to talk to you." Ricky said as he turned and walked toward the doors.
"Don't even try Ricky! You're not gonna find Kim alone." Jack yelled after him.
"Watch me!" Ricky shouted over his shoulder. Jack turned around and came over towards me, leaning against the pole. He looked extremely mad. 'He's so cute when he's mad... WAIT, CONCENTRATE KIM!' I shook my head to clear out the thoughts. I looked back at Jack. He looked like he wanted to punch the wall. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides and his jaw was clenched as well.
"Before you punch the wall, how about you take out your anger on the training dummies." I suggested, standing up. He looked at me. I could see the fire of fury in his eyes dwindle down slightly as he nodded.
"Yeah, I should do that." He said. He walked onto the mat and stared working on the trainging dummy. I could see his anger get smaller and smaller each time he did something, slowly letting everything out. Colton finally cooed after about ten minutes. I placed him back in the carrier and walked over to Jack.
"Better?" I asked placing a hand on his shoulder. He nodded.
"Why aren't you guys changed and ready to spar?" Rudy asked, stepping out of his office.
"We had an unexpected visitor." Jack said bitterly, walking over to his locker. He grabbed his duffel bag out of it and stormed into the boys' locker room.
"Well, who was it?" Rudy asked impatiently.
"Ricky Weaver." Jerry said. Rudy nodded in understanding, like he knew something the rest of us didn't. I just shrugged it off.
"Okay. The rest of you hurry up and change. We want to improve our skills for that tournament." He said, walking back to his office.
"Why is Jack so mad anyway. I thought Kim would be more mad than Jack." Eddie said as the guys walked over to the lockers.
"Jack's mad because he hates Ricky." Milton explained as if he were talking to a five year old.
"What did Ricky ever do to Jack?" Jerry asked cluelessly. Milton sighed in exasperation and shook his head.
"Because Ricky tried to hurt Kim." Milton explained as they all headed towards the locker room.
"You guys know I just heard your entire conversation, right?" I said. They all turned around and faced me.
"Yeah, but it's not like we just blabbed about how Jack told us how he-" Jerry tried to say but Milton covered his mouth.
"Just ignore him Kim. You know how... simple-minded Jerry can be." Milton said before they all turned around and hurried into the locker room. I was left standing there to sort through everything.
'I already knew that Jack hated Ricky. But I never knew why. But, apparently it's because Ricky tried to hurt me. But why would Jack care? As he's said so many times we're only "best friends". But Jerry started to say something else, something about something Jack had told them. What could Jack have told them.' I tried to fit the pieces together but I just couldn't figure everything out. I needed to know what Jack told them.
"Hello, earth to Kim." Someone said, waving a hand in front of my face. I blinked a few times and turned sideways to see Jack in his sparring gear. "Why aren't you getting changed? I came out and you looked frozen." He asked.
"I guess I just spaced out. I'll go get changed right now." I said. I grabbed my stuff and started heading towards the girls' locker room when Jack called my name.
"Hey Kim?"
"Yeah?" I asked, turning around to face him.
"I meant what I said. That jerk's not gonna be able to do anything to you, I'll make sure of it. I've always got your back Kim." He said. I smiled. Jack was such a great friend. He was always there for me.
"I know Jack. Thanks." I said before going and getting changed. I quickly changed and ran back out. Everyone but Jack and Eddie were sparring. Eddie was rocking his baby and Jack didn't have a partner. We sparred the whole pactice, right up until 5.
"Okay guys, good job. We'll learn some new skills tomorrow. Bye." He said as we all left.
"Ready to go home?" I asked Jack. He nodded.
"Yeah. I just hope tonight we can get some sleep." He said. We walked the rest of the way in a comfortable silence. My thoughts went back to what Jack had said in the dojo.
'Jack's a good friend, a great friend, my best friend. But are we ever gonna be more?' I asked myself.
AN- YEAH, Bad place to leave off. Sorry it's so short. BUT, The next chapter is the night IN JACK'S P.O.V. I'll try and have it up soon.I just wanted to explain why Ricky's here, well, sort of, and add the suspense of "WHAT DID JACK TELL THE GUYS?" But I have 3 current multi-chaps. This story, Interrupted (Super 8) and of course because I just HAD to go and get inspired, I'm working on one for the movie 2012. Anyways, reviews make me happy and make me more motivated to update. I update my stories based on the reviews they get. More reviews = Faster updates. Bye. Sorry for errors, as always.
