Hold On For Dear Love- Bridgit Mendler
They haven't spoken to each other since last night. Kim disappeared the morning after with Emma. She went to Milton and Julie's house with Emma to take her mind off things. They had wanted to spend more time with Emma and Kim needed to talk to Jack. She hung out there for a while before heading back home.
When she opened the door there was a suitcase. Jack's suitcase. She put Emma down and rushed to their room an saw Jack packing up his things. He looked up from his things to her with an innocent and sad look on his face. Which Kim found was so cute.
"Jack, what're you doing?" she asked. "I'm packing." Kim just wanted to hit him for that obvious answer, but now wasn't the time to.
"For what?" He looked her in the eyes.
"I'm leaving. I obviously can't be a good father for Emma right now and need help." He sat down on the bed. "So what exactly are you saying?" she sat down next to him.
"I'm gonna go into rehab. I figure it's the best option for me right now," he shrugged.
If we're not stupid
We'll both hold on for dear love
Find our way through this
It's not worth just giving up
"Jack, you can't leave us. Please, you can't leave me to take care of Emma by myself!" she pleaded. He shook his head and stood up.
"Kim, don't do this. This is something I need to do to get better."
"But you can't just leave me alone with Emma!"
"You can take care of her, Kim. That's what you've been doing these past few months!"
"You don't need to go to rehab. I could help you get better I promise," Kim said softly. Jack looked down in sadness. He took her hands in his.
"I know that we haven't been... really us lately. I'm willing to fix that, but I could only do that if I get help," he explained. "I'll be back home right before you know it. I'll be there for you and Emma."
"Okay. Get done packing then," she agreed. "Actually, if you just give me that picture over there that'd be great," Jack said in a funny way that made Kim laugh. She walked over to their dresser that had a picture of their kiss on their wedding day. She stared at it for a while. She handed it to him.
"Oh and that picture," he pointed. It was a picture of when Kim gave birth to Emma. She had Emma in her arms smiling with Jack looking at their baby.
'Cause I've got some fire left in me
And I don't see us ending this way
If we're not stupid
We'll both hold on for dear love, love
"Thank you," he replied after putting those pictures neatly in his bag. Kim started walking out of the bedroom sadly, but Jack pulled her wrist and her body ended up against his and his lips were on hers. It took her a second to realize what was happening and she kissed back. Her hands wrapped around his neck while his hands were on her waist. They pulled apart for air and Jack was the first to speak up.
"I love you. Don't forget that I always have loved you," he said sincerely. "I love you, too," she replied with a smile.
I been terribly human
Using you like a punching bag
And you been terribly angry
Taking out all your worst words on me
And I see what we were
And I know that we've hurt
"It's time for me to go, Kim. The sooner the better, because I'll be back here sooner," he explained. He grabbed his bag and they left their bedroom. Emma was in her room playing with her dolls.
"Emma come here," Kim said as she held her hand out for her. "What is it, Mommy?" she asked. "Come on," Kim said nicely. Jack finished putting his suitcase and his bag in the car. He looked at the front door there was standing Kim and Emma. He wasn't happy he had to go, but it was to get better.
He started walking towards them, but Emma just ran to him and hugged his knees. He chuckled and went down to her height and hugged her.
"Daddy?"
"Yes, Pumpkin?" he let go of her a bit to look at her. "Where are you going?"
"Somewhere that they have people who can... help me," he was having some trouble explaining. "When will you be back home?"
But I know that it's worth it to fight
For all our love tonight
"Soon. Don't worry I won't be gone forever," he said with a chuckle. Emma wrapped her arms around him again surprising him. "I love you, Daddy."
He hugged her back, "I love you too, Emma," he smiled. Emma ran back to Kim. Jack continued his walk to the front door and hugged Kim one last time.
"Take care of Mommy, Emma," he said walking off. She nodded and Kim smiled even though there were tears in her eyes wanting to fall out, but she kept them in. They watched as Jack drove off he waved at them before driving out of their sight.

Jack dialed Jerry's and Milton's number. "Hey yo, Jack! What's up?" Jerry greeted.
"Hey Jack!" Milton answered.
"Hey guys! So I'm actually going into rehab so, could you guys do me a favor?"
They both agreed. "Take care of, Kim and Emma for me. You know like maybe once a week you guys could check up on her? Only until I get back home which would be like a few months."
"Yeah sure no problem man," Jerry said. "Julie and I would be delighted to," Milton replied. "Great. Thanks guys. See ya," Jack said to them before they hung up.
If we're not stupid
We'll both hold on for dear love, love
Love, love, love
And with that, yes Kim was sad about Jack not being there for months, but they are going to be ok in the end when he comes back better.
It's longer than what I expected, but oh well. I had to make an alternate ending because sometimes I want the one-shot to end this way or that way so I figured both of these way were good so I made this one.
Here's the big thank you (not too big):
Thank you guys SO MUCH! I can never thank you enough! Everytime I read your guys' sweet reviews I smile everytime! But to be honest whenever I check my email and see that you guys have posted reviews, I kinda flinch at first because I'm afraid that I'll get mean reviews because I have on my other story before, but I know now that I shouldn't be scared of your guys' opinions! Hopefully I'm not jinxing that. Haha.
Honestly, I just really want you guys to know that it makes me happy that you guys are happy! :D
So this was not as sad as my usual ones kinda but if you're looking for sadder ones than there is more to come! :)
