~Kim's Pov~

The week had gone by fast and Friday was here. The only reason I realized it was Friday was because the dance is tonight. And I was nervous. It was the first time I would be doing this without Jack by my side, and maybe it's a good thing. He doesn't seem to be interested in talking to me anymore...it's destroying me. Throughout the week Jack has said very little to me. He was always around Donna. I knew that Donna knew what she was doing and I knew that she didn't really love him like she so often claimed she did.

Yesterday as I was leaving the school to go meet the guys in the football field, I caught her and some random kid, named Brady, making out in one of the hallways. They were pretty far too considering his hand was down her pants. I rushed off to go find Jack. I couldn't let him continue to stay with that slut. He deserved better.

When I got done telling him later he just looked at me for a split second. I could tell he was contemplating saying what was on his mind but he ended up thinking better of it. Something flickered across his face and in a flash it was gone again. Jack opened his mouth and said, "You're sure?" I nodded. There was no way I would lie to him about this.

So now Jerry and his group of friends were all walking with me down the school hallway when we came across Jack and Donna. I hadn't heard anything on whether he confronted her or not, but when we came within ear shot, I heard Donna talking about it.

"...yeah and she lied about it. She tried to convince Jack that I had cheated on him to break us apart. Of course the little bitch wanted to get between us but I wouldn't let her. I love Jack too much to ever let him go."

Upon hearing this, my hands clenched into fists. I wanted to punch something. Actually I wanted to punch her and knock that ugly makeup caked face right off her head. Jack had been looking at her, something like admiration shone through his face. It hurt to see him look at her like that, especially when he had always looked at me like that.

Jack looked up and noticed us standing there. His eyes narrowed and his face turned into a sneer and he glared at me with such an intense dislike that I whimpered. Never before had I seen him so angry, and never had his anger been directed at me. Jack stepped forward pulling Donna with him until he was right in my face.

His brown eyes darkened as he began to speak. "You. I can't believe you would do something that low."

"Jack, what are you talking about?" I asked. I started to tremble as I felt the tears come on.

"Why would you make up that lie about Donna?"

"I wasn't lying! I really did see her! Please believe me, I wouldn't lie about this." Jerry grabbed my hand and all the other guys came to stand behind me, silently supporting me. "She wouldn't lie." Jerry spoke up, "and that sounds like something Donna would do."

Jack lunged at Jerry, fury vibrated through him. "Stop!" I cried putting myself between them. "Jack don't do this please!"

Jack stopped trying to attack Jerry when Donna came up and took his hand. "Just forget about them," Donna said. "You're with me now, they aren't important and sooo not worth the attention."

I looked at Jerry who was silently fuming. "Are you okay?" I asked softly. Jerry shook his head. "How could he do this? In a matter of a few days, I don't even know who he is anymore."

I looked back at Jack, silently pleading with him. I don't know why he was acting like this, all I know is that I hated this new Jack.

He regarded me coldly. "Get out of my sight and stay out of my life." I gasped. "No, Jack Please!. The tears began to fall down my face. "Jack! Please don't do this." My voice had dropped down to a broken whisper, we had always been together. What would I do without him? Without realizing what I was doing I subconsciously reached out a hand wanting to touch him. I feverently hoped that this was all just a bad dream and I would wake up and everything could go back to the way it used to be.

Yet I realized it wasn't when he took a step away from me. My hand dropped. I felt like I had just been slapped in the face, and judging by the flash of regret that crossed his face, I'm guessing he knew it too but he brushed it off. "We're no longer friends, after you tried to turn me against my own girlfriend, you don't deserve to be called a friend, much less mine."

It shocked me to say the least. Suddenly the guys around me where all trying to attack Jack. They were calling him names and screaming at him. Numbly I registered Jerry by my side. I could feel the anger coming off of him in waves. "How can you say that to her?! You guys have been best friends since you were little, and this is how you treat her! You're to damn blind to see that you had a good thing." Jack just looked at him coolly and didn't say a word. "You sicken me, how can you say those things to her? You don't deserve her."

I was numb all the way to the core. My face was now a carefully blank mask. I was careful not to let any of my emotions show. In the midst of the fighting. I turned around and walked away.

~2 Hours before the dance~

~Jerry's Pov~

We were currently sitting at her kitchen table eating dinner. I offered to take her out to dinner, I wanted to take her out to dinner, but she refused me. She liked home cooked meals better, and her mom was an amazing cook. Numerous times I tried to cheer Kim up, I tried to make her smile, but I could to no avail. I watched as she pushed her food across her plate but didn't eat. Poor Kim. She hadn't said much since this morning, since Jack. I couldn't imagine how she must be feeling, they've always been bestfriends, and now...well I don't even want to think about it.

~Kim's Pov~

I wasn't hungry. I didn't want to talk but I knew that I should probably say something to Jerry. I felt bad for Jerry, he was trying so hard to cheer me up but nothing he could say could take away the sting of Jack's words.

I inwardly sighed. "Jerry I'm sorry." He looked up surprised, "For what?" I studied the table for a second before answering. "For being like this. I'm sorry." Jerry gave me a sad smile. "You have every right to be like that. I understand and I don't mind." That made me smile.

I hopelessly abandoned my food and Jerry was finished. I took his hand and we walked outside. "Thanks for being there for me, and thank you for doing all of this." I said gesturing to my surrounding. His eyes softened and his hand tightened in mine. "I would do anything for you." He murmered, "and I would certainly never treat you like he did."

"Thank You." I said as we stopped walking so I could look at him. I could hear the truth in his words and I wasn't worried that he would hurt me. I was worried that I would end up hurting him. His hand came up to gently cup my face and he leaned in. I softly shook my head as I let a small side smile show itself. 'I'm sorry Jerry I really am.

You've been a great friend, but that's just what you are, a friend." He nodded his head in understanding and took a step back, but not before I saw the pain of rejection dance across his face. "You have feelings for him don't you?" He asked softly. He wasn't mean even mean about it. I looked away, sadness seeping into my face. I did have feelings for him, but right now I didn't want to acknowledge them, not after earlier.

"You should probably go, I have to get ready for the dance." I said changing the subject. I knew he knew that I'd changed the subject but he went along with it. "Ok." He said as I walked him to his car. "I'll see you in an hour and a half." I nodded my head. Before he got in his car he turned to me, "Just promise me one thing Kim." I tilted my head. "What's that?"

"Promise me you won't shut me out."

"I promise."

He got in his car and I walked over by his window. "You'll find that special girl someday Jerry, I know you will, but it's not me." I said softly. I kissed him on the cheek and then stepped back so he could go. He sent me a genuine smile before driving off.

I sighed and walked into the house where my mom was waiting for me. She sent me a knowing smile, before we both headed up the stairs. It was time to get ready for the dance, and lucky for me, I had my moms help. She had magic hands when it came to this sort of thing.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you guys are happy that Jerry and Kim will not be together. I just hope you enjoyed this chapter all together:) Please Review! Thanks!
