Remember Me
Previously on Choices of the Heart
"Ladies and Gentlemen I have the pleasure of introducing a very talented…very beautiful…The Lovely Kari singing her new single… 'If you asked me to'…" There she was wearing White Strap Rhinestone Party Mini Dress that hit every curve on her body…she hair was long and thick with loose curls, she also wore her favorite white high heels. With a Gorgeous diamond pendant around her neck to set the outfit off. Tommy was speechless as he looked at the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on…the one he had hurt was on stage radiant as ever.
Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to
Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling darling since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me darling
I said I needed, needed to be free
(But if you asked me to...)
Asked me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby, for you baby
If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to...
As she finished the song she gave a bow and said thank you to her crowd…as she looked up she saw him…their eyes met…she did not notice the other because she could not help but look into his beautiful brown eyes as a tear slides softly down her cheek. She walks off stage trying to get away from those piercing brown eyes that she once loved. Tommy noticed but stayed completely paralyzed as did the others.

As everyone stood and gave her a standing ovation, Kimberly stood shocked and overwhelmed by his beautiful brown eyes staring directly at her. At that instant she knew she had to get away from his powerful eyes that had always made her weak in the knees. As she began to walk off stage she then noticed eight other very familiar faces in the crowd including the same woman that destroyed her relationship six years ago. Kimberly rushed to the backstage wiping away countless tears in the process. Everyone from her manager to her groupies knew there was something wrong with her as she ran into her dressing room slamming the door without a word and ignoring everyone.
"What's going on Kari are you okay" asked Wes as he knocked on Kimberly's dressing room door repeatedly. "Come on Kari open the door…let your big brother in….Kimberly…"Just when he said her real name the door opened abruptly…he could tell she had been crying due to her mascara running and the constant snuffles she kept trying to hide. "Finally…" she stood aside as he walked in the room.

Meanwhile, the group just stared in complete and utter shock.
"Oh my Gosh" Trini was the first to speak "Kim…" she says looking over at Tommy who was stunned and then she noticed Kat holding tight to Tommy for dear life and smiled at the scene before her. "Kat sure is holding tight to Tommy" she whispered to Aisha whom also noticed the tight grip Kat had on Tommy's arm. "I see…" Aisha whispered back as they both got an evil gleam in their eyes which the men had noticed. Rocky whom was sitting next to Aisha picked up on what they were saying and laughed to himself. Billy, Adam, and Jason also noticed Kat's firm grip she had on Tommy's arm. It seemed like everyone noticed but Tommy whom was speechless and bewildered. As the next performer was announced the others noticed Tommy had stood up, gently pulling away from Kat and walked away. It took them all but a minute to follow after him leaving Katherine sitting down heartbroken.
"Tommy…Where are you going" Jason spoke first as he followed him into the lobby. The others including Kat showed up and stopped when Jason asked the question that was on all of their minds.
"I have to find her Jase…" He sighs as he turns around to face them rubbing his hands through his short spikey hair. "I need to talk to her"
"Do you really think she is going to talk to us…she didn't look that happy to see us" Jason responded. The others sadly nodded as Katherine gave an annoyed exhalation and shook her head.
"When I looked in her eyes I saw that she still…" He cut himself off when the others just waited for him to come up with a good reason. He also didn't want to let his true intentions come out. "Look I know what you guys are thinking but if we don't try to talk to her now…we will never get her back." Tommy finished softly as Jason just exhaled
"He's right Jason" Trini said miserably "I want my best friend back and now we have a chance to try again with her and I want to…no I need to talk to her again" she sobbed as Aisha walked over and hugged her.
"I think we all agree with Trini" Aisha said as Billy, Adam and Rocky nodded. Kat on the other hand had had enough so she decided to remind Tommy that he is still with her by walking over to him locking her arm with his and leaning on his shoulder. Tommy looked over and gave her a gentle smile. Jason saw through what Kat was doing and immediately agreed to talk to Kim.
"Alright, then what are we waiting for lets go get Kim back" Jason smiled as well as the others. He also noticed that once her said that Tommy smile for the first time tonight. "I really hope it works out for you buddy" Jason says to himself. Unknown to them Kat also noticed.
"Well lets go then" Rocky said happily as they began to walk away they were stopped by Kat.
"Wait..Tommy…have you ever thought that maybe she really doesn't want to see us…I meanif she did she had six years to contact us and did not contact any of us for any kind of reconciliation…I mean you can not just…
"Excuse me!" Trini interrupted…now she was pissed "Since when have you been one of US…In case you have forgotten you are the reason she hates us in the first place…" she said walking up to the blonde as Rocky and Jason Try to hold her back. Tommy quickly comes to Kat's aid. The rest watched as Trini and Tommy argued.
"We have been over that Trini…WE believed that letter…yes, Kat made a mistake six years ago and she is sorry for it but don't you forget WE are the ones that chose to believe it instead of talking to her! So stop taking what we did out on Kat…The fought lie with us all." Tommy said furiously
"You really think she is sorry Tommy…Do you really think she cares about Kim…"
"Move on Trini…We all have to take responsibility and I'm tired of youblaming Kat for everything that went wrong."
"That's because she is to blame for everything…she's the reason why you and Kim are no longer together…Kim should be on your arm not that skank."
"That's enough Trini…I will not have you disrespecting Kat again! Tommy yelled capturing the attention of strangers. As Tommy walked away dragging a smirking Kat and left Trini speechless with tears in her eyes. Before they could get very far a familiar voice spoke.
"I see Kat is still keeping your bed warm at night Tommy" he laughed
Tommy turned to around and noticed it was Wes, Kimberly's brother.
"Wes.." Tommy said surprised as the others looked on stunned at the rude comment.
"Hello Tommy…I see you still have no respect for my sister, that's right I heard everything you guys said and ill be damned if I'm letting you ever near my sister again…" he said viciously

"What is wrong Kim…You know you can tell me" she stops crying and looks up at her brother.
"He's here Wes…They are here…He's here with HER and he looks so good…God what am I going to do…"
"Leave it to me I'll make sure they leave you alone" he said enraged
"No…I'm a big girl…I have to face them one day" she fix her make-up and began to make herself presentable and ready to set her plan in motion.
"Are you sure you are okay lil sis" he asked concerned
"Yes…Wes…I will be fine…" she smiled
"Okay…call if you need anything" he hugged her and left. As soon as she saw him shut the door she turned back to the mirror.
"Okay Kim…Its time to set your plan in motion…lets make Tommy regret ever hurting you" she said softly to herself.
Since she left Angel Grove she has worked extremely hard for everything she has gotten. She had learned fast that there was no one that could fill the void Tommy left so cruelly in her heart six years ago and she didn't go looking. She gave up. Of course men wanted her but she just couldn't trust anyone because of one man. Friendship wise Kimberly had found it hard to forgive her former friends…she missed them terribly but it still doesn't ease her broken heart. They have tried to contact her but she never allow any of them to talk to her. She is now ready to fix the situation, she needs to move on so badly she can taste it but the past is weighting solidly on her heart and she wants to let it go.
