An Alone Talk
Jack's pov
I woke up to the sunlight shining through the black curtains of my room. I sat up and noticed Kim was gone. I got out of bed and walked to my second room which was attached to my room by a single hall. On the other side of the room, two doors lead to a broad balcony. I pushed back the red curtains and saw Kim sitting on the outer railing. I opened the door and made my way to the other side of the balcony. I stood there by her for a few minutes before we said anything.
'Why did she have to leave?' Kim mumbled with a fresh tear falling over dried ones. 'Why did she have to pretend to leave? Because all's I know, is that the next time we see her, I'm grounding here for a month.' I couldn't help but laugh at Kim's words.
'Kim, before we do anything that normal parents would do, we need to tell her that we will be her real parents.' I looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back. I looked out to the neighborhood. It's a very dispersed one. Our back yard stretched far and I saw the trees where me and Kim always ran around in then, exited the other side into the lake. That was and probably still is our secret place.
'Jack, do you even have a feeling Lacey's out there still?' Kim asked. I thought for a minute.
'I don't know. I want to believe she is but it's just so hard.' I replied.
'I know. We need to find out who J & X really are.'
'I know Kim, but I do have a feeling that those two are the figures we saw right after Lacey died.' I said.
'Yah I know and I think J's real name is Jack too since the other one called them that.' Kim replied.
'Yah that's weird.' I said chuckling. We stood and sat there a few more minutes.
'In all seriousness Jack,' Kim started I looked at her as she still gazed over the city. 'Would you have adopted Lacey with me as a choice, not command?' I was silent a few seconds.
'Kim, I've always wanted to raise a kid and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone but you. You're just the perfect mother figure. But, I wouldn't do it if you never wanted to because it would change our lives forever.' I saw her smile out of the corner of my eye.
'Well, the chance came and so you were waiting for me to take that chance so that you would be positive on your decision?' she asked.
'Yah, I just never wanted to tell you directly making you think you had to.' I replied.
'I was thinking the same thing about you.' She replied.
'See? Told you communication was important!'
'HEY!' she yelled and hit my arm 'You told Jerry that!'
'You know, I actually told that to all of you guys.' I replied sounding like Rudy confessing something he's done wrong.
'Ugh! Well, you're still right.' she shrugged.
'Aren't I always?' I replied. I couldn't decided if I wanted to be sarcastic or not.
'Yah I know and I love it.' she replied apparently not being sarcastic. I smiled at her even though she wasn't looking.
After a few seconds, I looked at my phone seeing it was 11:30am.
'Wanna go look for Lacey?' I asked.
'Of course.' she replied smiling. She turned and hopped off the railing. She stood next to me and looked up at me. I grabbed her hand, smiled and we laughed as we walked inside.
Kim's pov
- You know you're the greatest friends when you just look at each other and burst out laughing - flew through my mind as Jack grabbed my hand and lead us off the balcony and back to his room.
'Hey Jack?' I asked after he came out of the restroom. He looked up at me from the ground.
'So are we going to ask the guys to help? Are we going to tell the guys about umm...'
'No let's not. I just, ugh I don't know what to do.' he said laying back on the bed mad.
'It's ok Jack. I bet we'll get her back then, we won't tell our friends for them to start worrying.' I replied laying next to him. Just then, his door opened and Jerry, Milton, and Eddie came into view. Jack bolts upright.
'Oops should have we knocked?' Jerry asked. Jack glared at him.
'Why are you guys here?' I asked getting off the bed.
'We heard about Lacey.' Milton answered. Me and Jack groan.
'It's ok guys we'll get her back.' Eddie said walking over.
'Eddie,' I started. 'We don't even know if she's still alive.' I ended.
'I don't even think she wanted to be.' I think.
'Kim!' Jack yells aloud. He slaps his hands over his mouth.
'Why would you think that?!' he thinks.
'Because! She hated the world ever since-' Jack interrupted my thought.
'No! She finally found love so I guess she just wanted to throw it out the window!' i yelled in my thoughts.
'JACK! Would you please just STOP!' I screamed aloud. We look at the guys. Tears welled in my eyes. I pushed past the guys and run downstairs.
Jack's pov
'Great job Jack!' Jerry yelled and the three rushed downstairs.
'Awesome. I can't believe I just yelled at my best friend.' I think and rushed out the room. I found Kim sitting at the bar area with the guys around her.
'Jack, I'm not the happiest person in the world right now, but we can't find your mom anywhere even when he car's still here.' Kim exclaimed running up to me.
'Ok, we'll find we just-' I was interrupted when the lights flickered. I looked into Kim's scared eyes. Then, the lights flashed completely off. Not even the light from outside lit up the house it was completely pitch black.
'JACK!' I heard Kim. I reached my hand out for her and felt her shoulder. I grabbed her hand leading her somewhere to hid knowing this wasn't a power outage. I felt her sit on the kitchen floor against the bar area counter. I was about to sit by her when I felt a sharp pain in my side. I let out a yelp causing the guys to scream. I felt my seeing and yanked out a drugged dart.
'Great.' I mumbled.
'Jack! Are you ok?' Kim thought.
'Yah just a dart that someone drugged me with I won't die -_-' I replied back in my thoughts. Then, the room was echoed and I placed my hand on the bar area. I heard the same shrieks as earlier. But, what stuck out the most was a familiar scream... Lacey. I fell to my knees moaning.
'Jack! No! Listen to me!' I heard Kim yell. I fell down and noticed my head was in her lap. 'Stay awake!' she finished. Then, sleep fell over my whole body.
