The last time we met in this story was:

We're gonna kiss! We're gonna kiss!

But nooo...

CRASH!

Kim's POV

The hell?! We were so close! I can't believe how close Jack and me were to kissing. Everything was going perfectly until that big bowl of fruit punch fell over.

Eradon and Mina reappeared from the silent crowd and came over to sit right next to us.

"What's going on?" I asked Eradon.

"I have no idea," Eradon admitted.

"Eradon," came a girl's voice, "Is that really you?"

"Rachel," Eradon hissed the name and I automatically remembered the name of his gold digger girlfriend.

My eyes widen when I saw two exactly similar Asian guys, about seventeen each, stood with a suit unbutton with their arms crossed. Their black eyes stood looking at the four of us bloodshot. The only difference is one of them had a scar on his right jaw.

"Where's Rachel?" I asked Eradon. "And who are those two guys?"

"Hyun - Ki is the one without a scar, Hyun - Su is the one with the scar," explained my cousin. "These twins are 3rd degree blackbelts in taekwondo so be careful."

"Eradon? Is that really you?" from behind the Hyun twins came a beautiful girl about our age with long blond hair, green eyes, and light freckles. She was wearing a black dress that covered only half her thigh.

So Eradon's old girlfriend was a whore, I thought to myself.

"What do you want?" Eradon asked, obviously annoyed with her sudden appearance.

"I want you back," Rachel said as she walked up to Eradon and ran her hand down his arm, causing him to shiver a little.

"I don't think so," Jack cut in. "Eradon's moved on from you to a better girl."

"Yeah," I pushed Mina into Eradon who snapped out of his trance. He took her hand in his and raised it up for Rachel to see.

"Mina is ten times better than you ever had been," Eradon told her.

"Mina?" Rachel looked at Mina and bursted out laughing, "This low-life? Why would you be dating someone like her?"

To my dismay, Mina flinched and took the bait. Luckily, Eradon stood up, "But I'm dating her 'cause my feelings for her are stronger and real. The reason I dated you was because I was stupid. Dating a slut like you was the biggest mistake that I have ever made."

This got people around the crowd going, 'burn', but it was worth it. Jack held his laughter and Mina beamed widely. The twins uncrossed their arms and made their way towards us.

Rachel, now embrassed and furious but somehow kept her cool. I mean, if I was called a slut in front of all this people, I swear I would have ripped someone's head off. Something about Rachel really scares me.

She stopped the twins and whispered something to them in Korean, only allowing Eradon to understand what she was saying.

"Dangsin-eun na-ege eobs-eul Kim, Jack, geuligo teughi jeo geuleohge sidojocha haji anh-eulgeoya!" Eradon yelled before grabbing all of our hands and dragging us out of the building, with eye following us.

Once we were outside, he finally let my wrist go along with Jack's.

"Dude, your hand is huge!" Jack flexed his wrist, reminding me of my own.

"Sorry guys," he rubbed the back of his head. "I just didn't want you and Kim to get into a fight with the twins. They fight dirty."

"Who cares!" Jack cracked his knuckles. "We can take them."

"Sure, but not tonight," Eradon yawned. "I'm gonna stay at Jack's house for one more night, 'cause I'm too lazy to pack my stuff and go home. So I'm just gonna walk Mina to our house, alright Kim?"

"Okay, she can spend another night at my place," I nodded.

Eradon held Mina's hand and together they walked down the street. I swear, I'd do anything to be in the same situation with Jack.

"Hey! Here's the keys!" Jack reached into his pocket and threw it at Eradon who easily caught it.

"Wait, what's this for?" Eradon asked. "Aren't you coming home?"

"Yeah later," Jack said. "I want to talk to Kim for a little."

I was shocked. What did Jack want to talk to me about? The image of how close we were to kissing popped through my head. No way is Jack going to let me out of this one without an awkward situation. So before he could even say anything I yelled at him, "Let's pretend this night never happened!"

He looked at me as if I just grew another head, "Come again? Wait, you thought, no, no! That's not what I want to talk about right now." He looked away.

Wait, did Jack just blush? Could it be? Jackson Anderson Brewer just blushed because of me?

Pull yourself together, Kimberly! There is no way a bad boy like Jack could be blushing at you!

Yeah, he could!

No he couldn't!

Great, now I'm arguing with myself. Dammit, Jack could do anything to make me go crazy.

"Then what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, playing innocent.

"Just if you wanted to go get some fro yo with me," he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "That is if you want to even go with me."

My heart started pounding so hard I swear, it'd burst any moment now.

Did Jack just ask me out?!

To make sure I asked, "Are you asking me on a date?"

Jack's eyes widen twice their size. And I mentally kicked myself for being so stupid! What if Jack never wanted to be more than just friends? What if he just wants a normal friendship with a girl like me? Dammit, now I'm hurt.

That's probably all Jack wants, to just be friends. Not even probably, I'm certain.

"Do you want it to be a date?" his voice interruppted my thoughts.

"Wait, you're not even sure that your offer was to take me on a date?" I raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"So I take it as a no?" he said, his voice seemed a little hurt.

"I didn't even say anything!" I argued.

"But you implied that you don't want to spend time with me!"

"Jack, you're being stupid and unreasonable. I'm your best friend! I techniqually spend a lot of time with you!"

That shut him up so I smirked.

"Whatever, I'm going home," he turned his back to me and walked off.

When he turned his back, is when I felt my beating heart slowly stop overall. Jack just literally took out my heart, ripped it in half like it was paper, and stomped all over it. I felt tears threaten to fall so I turn my back to him and started my direction home.

I wasn't even halfway when I heard somebody running up behind me and calling my name, however, he was too far for me to recognize his voice. I shivered at the thought that maybe on of the twins are looking for me. But what would they want with a Southern bell like me? Just to be safe, I quickly jumped into a nearby bush and hid while the figure stopped right in front of the bush and panted.

"Kim!" he called again and I immediatly figured out who it was.

Jack, I immediatly started to move but I sat back down. He left me to walk home alone and now he's back? No, he won't find me here. He won't find my forgiveness.

It took Jack a few seconds before he ran off back the way he came, still calling my name.

When I assured it was safe, I jumped out of the bush and brushed off the leaves.

I continued to walk until another running figure turned the corner of my street.

Fuck that! Jack ran in a full circle. And oh great, he saw me.

I turned around and ran back the way I came.

"Kim, wait!" he yelled.

Screw these flats! I can't even speed walk in them without getting blisters!

He finally caught up to me and grabbed my wrist, "Kim, I need to talk to you!"

"But I don't need to talk to you, so let go or I'll yell!" I said.

"Kim, I live in this neighborhood, too," Jack pointed out. "Everybody here knows that I would never do anything to hurt you."

"Well, you are right, now!" I said.

"But if I let go, you'll run!" he said.

"Alright! I promise I won't run away from you!" I said, 'cause his grip is really killing me.

He trusted me enough and released my wrist. I crossed my arms and pouted, "What do you want?"

"I want to apologize," he sighed. "I didn't mean to leave you alone to walk home like that. I was being stupid."

"You could say that again," I felt my anger slowly let up.

"And I was being unreasonable," he added. "And I'm sorry."

I sighed. For some reason, I can't stay mad at Brewer, no matter what's he done.

"You're lucky this time," I said. "But next time you do something stupid like that, I won't be talking to you forever."

"Forever is a long time," Jack said, "I promise I won't be stupid anymore."

"No, stay stupid," I giggled. "You're funny and cute when you do stupid things."

Before I realized what had escaped my mouth, it was too late. Jack had a smile wider than a clowns and his aura started glowing. His beautiful eyes danced with joy.

"Look, I'm tired," I covered up, thankful for the broken street light because I'm reder than a tomato.

"Then come on!" Jack gently wrapped his hand around my right hand and led me home.

"I swear, Jackson Brewer, you'll be the death of me," I whispered, unfortunatly, only loud enough for me to hear.
