~Before jack and Kim were dating~

2 years ago

"Dude, that was sick!" Jack laughed as Jerry hopped off his skateboard.

"Jack, man, it's your turn bro." Jerry laughed, handing him the skateboard.

"Sure, just one sec." Jack answers while checking his phone. He leaves Jerry and I by the ramp to answer it.

Jack, Jerry and I had decided to spend the day at the skate park since Rudy had taken Milton and Eddie to see a karate tournament. We were having a blast, and Donna Tobin even hung out with us for a little while. Believe it or not, she was really cool; and I thought Jack was actually pretty lucky to have her as a girlfriend.

That's right. They were dating. And at this point in time, it didn't bother me one bit. Atfirst I though she was a good for nothing plastic, but once I got to know her she was really nice.

Or so I had thought.

"Jack's taking forever!" Jerry whined.

"I'll go check on him," I told jerry before running off in the direction of Jack.

"Donna, would you quit it already? Jesus freakin' Christ! Listen, okay? I have to go." Jack says before hanging up on her violently. I oddly feel like I'm totally intruding on his privacy. I mean, I didn't mean to overhear his conversation.

"Hey, Jack." I say when he turns around and sees me. "I just came to see if everything was alright."

"Peachy," he says with a stony expression while walking back with me to the ramp. Jerry spots us approaching and smiles, but quickly furrows his brows when he sees jack.

'What's with him?' he mouths. I just shrug in response.

"Jack, are you sure you're okay?" I ask him again.

"Fine, Kim." He replies dryly.

"Hey Jack, ready to show me what you got?" Jerry teases once we get back to the top of the ramp.

"Actually, I think I'm going to head home. Sorry, I just don't feel too good." Jack says as he gathers his things and I quietly turns to leave. I catch him by the shoulder.

"Jack, why are you acting so weird? Are you really ok?"

"I said I'm FINE!" Jack explodes, swiping his arm in the air and striking my body, making me tether off the side of the ramp, but not long enough for jerry to catch me before I fall into the concrete U.

"Kim!" Jerry calls out as he watches helplessly while I fall. Jack and he are both running towards me in an instant. I pick my head up from the concrete to discover it was bleeding, and I feel a shooting pain blossoming from my ankle.

I couldn't believe Jack had done this to me. My jack had seriously hurt me. Jack got to me first, but when he tried to approach me, I scooted away. I didn't want him to touch me. There were tears in my eyes, but not from my injuries; it was from disbelief. The hurt I felt in my heart, the betrayal.

"Kim, please, I'm so-so sorry." His voice cracks as he tries to reach out to me again, but I just dodge his hand.

"Don't touch me!" I cry loudly as more tears begin to roll down my cheeks. I'm grateful when Jerry comes to my aid and scoops me up in his arms. He doesn't say anything to Jack, but when he's carrying me to lay down on a bench, I see him look over his shoulder and send Jack a cut eye glance.

"Kim, I'm calling 911, okay?" Jerry says while pulling out his cell phone. "Yes mam, we have an emergency at the skate park. One of my friends... Uhh... fell from the ramp and hit her head….yes…..uh, Kim Crawford. Thank you."

"They'll be here soon, Kim. But I need you to focus on me, okay? Stay awake Kim, Stay awake." He pats me reassuringly. "Hey, give her some room will ya?" he shouts to the crowd that is starting to form around me. I don't know much, but my head's getting foggy and I do know I'm losing a lot of blood. It's getting harder and harder to focus. Somewhere in the haze, Jack shows up.

"Please, Jerry." He says in a strained, fragile voice. "This is all my fault, just let me help her. Please." I want to scream 'no! Don't let him near me, jerry!' but I can't seem to formulate the words. Thankfully, Jerry knows better.

"You've done enough, Jack. I'm taking care of it. I told them that she fell, don't worry you won't get in trouble. Just go home." Jerry says maturely. If I didn't already know, I could tell Jerry was a fantastic friend just from this situation. Even though Jack deserved it, he didn't sell him out. Jack could have been charged for this- maybe even put in juvie if there was severe injury, but because of jerry he doesn't have to worry about any of that.

I keep getting this drifting feeling, like I'm falling into a trance. I try to stay awake- but my mind keeps getting foggier and foggier until I'm forced to close my eyes, and I can't seem to open them again.

How did you like my little blast from the past? Lol. :P the second part of PUSH and SHOVE will probably surface a couple chapters down the road. The next chapter will be the second part to DESPERATE MEASURES. REVIEW PLEASE
