The Warriors

by BananaWombat221

Kim and her friends Jerry, Eddie and Milton have been trying to get their band, The Warriors, to take off for years now, but can't find a lead guitarist. When they all meet the new kid, Jack Brewer, they discover his talents... *partly crossed over with Lemonade Mouth. I do not own Kickin It. All the characters look like they do in Season 3, but Eddie is still there*

10. Chapter 10

HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN ENJOYING YOURSELVES

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH

Don't own Kickin It, blah blah blah.

Kim's P.O.V

Jack has been healing in the hospital for about about three weeks now, and he's just about due to come out.

His hearing still isn't back. The doctor said he might never get it back.

The next time I walk into his room in visiting hours, he's doing something weird. He's blasting 'Savin Me' by Nickelback at full volume from a speaker right next to his bed, and is frowning, running his hand over the surface of the speaker.

What the heck?

He spots me and smiles, shutting the music off.

"All those hours you made me watch chick flicks paid off," he says, abnormally loud. Side effect of hearing loss.

"Huh?" I say, pronouncing my lips so he can read them.

"You remember the Bratz Movie?" he says.

"Uh, yeah?"

"Remember the deaf boy?"

"Yes?"

"Remember how the brunette met him?"

"OHH."

I remember now. Jack is trying to feel the music.

"It's kinda working," he says. He switches the song back on and puts his hand on the speaker, focusing. He's so cute. SHUT UP, BRAIN.

"Hey Kim," he says when he's finished, "could you get me a guitar?"

I don't even question him.

I come back the next day with one of Eddie's spares, a purple-painted acoustic with sturdy strings. Jack strums it gently, playing a slightly distorted E chord. He furrows his brows, realizing from the way the string vibrates that it's not right, and spends the next few days learning how to play the guitar accurately again. I can't help him, I don't play guitar, but I give him a thumbs up when he gets it right.

Another day I walk in to him with a book on his lap, making weird motions with his hands, completely concentrated on what he's doing. I walk over and peer at the book. Beginner's Guide to Sign Language. Ah.

We bond over the sign language book, teaching each other letters and words until we can just about carry out a full conversation and translate the motions. Jack is better at it then me, because he needs it, rather than wants it.

Eventually, I ask the doctors again if they can help.

(ALRIGHT, PEOPLE. DON'T WORRY, THIS ISN'T THE END OF THE CHAPTER. I'm just completely dumb when it comes to medical facts and all that. Sorry. Ugh, I'm stoooopid. Just wanna say, don't believe I say anything on here, because I'm probably not right, but I'm way too lazy to look stuff up. xD)

"We can give him hearing aids," they say, and my heart lifts.

Jack still likes to use sign language, but he wears hearing aids now. He looks a little weird, with the beige plastic in his ears. But somehow it makes him look even cuter.

I have a radio interview - the first since the accident.

"And am I right to believe that Jack, the guitarist, is now deaf as a result of the crash?" she asks seriously.

"Unfortunately, yes," I sigh. "But he wears hearing aids now."

There's a huge flow of support from fans on Twitter.

JackBrewer12, love you forever.

Get yourself back in the game, JackBrewer12. Your guitar riffs are going to be as awesome as they always were.

Get well soon, JackBrewer12.

You're so brave, JackBrewer12.

I smile as I read them.

We decide to take a brave step.

I'm in a radio interview with Jerry, Eddie and Milton. And Jack, who is sitting in a wheelchair with a giant bootcast on his foot as well as his hearing aids, looking as handsome as ever in a red plaid shirt and jeans.

"In support of Jack," I say, "we've decided to release a special song written by me. Jack is playing the guitar live for this. He really has managed to get his music back again."

Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift ft. Civil Wars (don't own, as much as I love this song. Imagine Kim sounding like Taylor, blah blah. Jerry does the hint of the male voice, not in the chorus)

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [repeat 'til fade].

The entire radio station is crying when we finish. Jack smiles at me, doing sign language for did I do okay?

I sign language back. It comforts him. Absolutely perfect.

He positively beams.

Jerry checks Twitter again when we've gotten out of the booth.

Oh my god, TheWarriors new song made me cryyyyy.

So sweet, TheWarriors new song.

Have you guys heard TheWarriors new song yet? #Heartbreaking

Listened to the interview. JackBrewer12 you've still got it.
