Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It.
Time quickly passed. Days felt like hours, weeks felt like days, and years felt like months. Before any of us knew it, it was our senior year of high school.
I walked out of my bathroom and across the hall into my bedroom. "Whatcha think?" I asked as I went in front of my mirror and twirled in my cap and gown.
"You're beautiful," Jack said, looking up from his phone. He got up from the beanbag chair he was settled in and hugged me from behind. "As always." He smiled and rested his head on my shoulder.
"You're such a dork," I giggled. "A cheesy, but sweet dork."
"And you love that about me, don't cha, Kimmy?" Jack teased. Over time, I had gotten accustomed to that nickname. As much as I hated it at first, I thought it would be nice if he had a name for me that he, and only he, could call me. "That and my sexy six pack."
"Woooow! Bringing that up again, Jackie?" I laughed as I backhanded said "sexy six pack."
"Aha! You didn't protest! So you admit it!" He jumped away from me to point and gloat.
"Ok, ok! Fine! You are pretty sexy!" I gave in. "Happy?" And with that, I tiptoed and kissed him gently on the lips. After only two years, he had grown so much taller than me.
I had meant for the kiss to be a simple peck, but Jack quickly entwined his fingers with my hair so that I couldn't pull away and deepened the kiss. After a few minutes, he finally let me go and sighed. "I'm gonna miss this."
"Me too," I whispered so softly, it was barely audible. I had tried so hard to get this off of my mind. Jack was going to California for college and I was going to study in New York. All of a sudden, my eyes started to sting.
"Kim?" Jack noticed right away. "Kimmy, what's wrong?"
"Jack, maybe we should just break up," I said as steadily as I could, despite the breaks in my voice.
"WHAT?!" Jack looked at me, dumbfounded. I could practically hear his heart break.
"Look, I've never been good at keeping contact with people. Heck, I can't even keep in touch with people who move to other schools! Imagine me trying to keep a long-distance relationship with someone on the other side of the country!" I screamed, tears now streaming down my face. I sat on my bed and put my head in my hands.
"Hey," Jack gently cooed. He lifted my head up with his index finger and stared me straight in the eye, which was at the same level as his since he had kneeled down in front of me. "Don't think like that. How long have we been together?"
"Two years, five months, and..." I paused to think about it, "...twelve days."
"And you love me, don't you?"
"Of course." How could he still need to ask me that?
"Good, coz I love you too. And since I love you, I know that we can make it work. We'll call and webcam each other everyday and do whatever else it takes. And on holidays, we could always visit each other." He held my face in his strong hands and started wiping away my tears with his thumbs.
"Okay" was all I could croak out. I hated feeling this vulnerable, but whenever I felt like this Jack was there, ready to comfort me. As stupid and cliche as it sounds I can't imagine my life without him.
"Oh come on Kim, stop crying," he begged.
I laughed. "No, these are tears of joy now! I love you so much Jack." At that moment, I leaped into his arms.
"I love you too Kimmy," he sighed, the smile audible in his voice. He buried his face in my hair and rubbed comforting circles on my back.
I let go of him and got up. "As much as I'd love to stay like that, I gotta changed."
Jack got up and smirked. "Need help?"
I smiled a slack-jawed smile and started laughing. "YOU PERVERT!" I grabbed a pillow off of my bed and smacked him with it.
"Hey!" Jack chuckled along, holding his hands up in an attempt the block my hits. "It was worth a try! No need to get violent!"
"Sorry Babe," I kissed his cheek and smiled at his shock at the pet name. I turned and headed to the bathroom, smiling like crazy. Two years and we still have this effect on each other. I smiled even wider, if that was even possible, knowing that that wasn't going to change for a long, LONG time.
