AN- Hey guys I am so sorry for the wait but my home computer has been fixed (not my laptop) and I can update from here sometimes. Maybe. So welcome to the last chapter my lovely readers.
I woke up the next morning at 9 in the morning. I was tired and annoyed but it was morning and it was time to wake up. So I did.
After explaining to Alice the entire long story, I went over to the youth center. Tommy, Adam and Jason were sitting at one of the tables drinking hot cocoa. I went over and joined them.
"Hey guys!" I said.
"Kim!" Adam greeted me jovially and pulled out a chair for me. I sat and looked around.
There was Bulk and Skull, sitting with Carmen. John walking up to our table. Katherine and Aisha, sparring on the mats – wait a minute.
"JOHN!" I exclaimed. "What in the world are you doing here?"
"Me?" He said.
"How many Johns do you think I know?"
"Well… it is a pretty common name."
"Just answer the question."
"I'm just following my one true love." He smirked.
"Who would love you?" I asked rhetorically. "You're nothing but a jerk."
"Still oblivious huh Kimmy? I was referring to you. And haven't you learned your lesson by now? Don't sass me." He grabbed me from my seat and pulled me close to him.
"HEY! LET ME GO YOU BIG UGLY CREEP!"
"I think you better do as she says." Tommy stood up behind me.
"Or you'll have us to answer to." Jason stood up next to him.
Suddenly everyone, including Bulk, Skull, and Carmen were standing behind me, ready to defend me from the biggest creep there ever was.
"Who're you?"
"Oh I'm Tommy." My knight in shining spandex (or the intergalactic equivalent of it anyway) said. "You know her black belt boyfriend. And these are all of her other martial artist friends."
John dropped my arm then sneered. He leaned down close to my face and practically breathed his words. "Don't think you're rid of me. Your friends won't always be around to save you."
"Yeah that may be true. But that doesn't mean I can't protect myself." I punched him in the face hard enough to let a stream of blood flow from his nose. I then kicked him in a rather… sensitive spot, sending him down onto the floor.
As John crawled away, I rolled my eyes. "Pathetic. One hit and he's gone. Easier than a tenga."
Tommy wrapped his arms around me from behind. He placed a kiss on my head. "That's my kickbutt girlfriend." He said. "I love you. You know that?"
"You better love me. I'd have to kill you if you didn't."
After a few seconds, I had a thought. "I know what to name the bear you gave me."
"What's that?"
"Falcrane."
"Huh?"
"Falcon and Crane. Falcrane."
Tommy smiled. "Hey Kim?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad you're back."
"Me too."
And I was. Glad I was back that is. I was finally home. Where I belonged.
