CHAPTER 10: I'M FINE.

*1 WEEK LATER*

KIM'S POV

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I jumped up at the scream that echoed through the house. I slowly got out of bed & started to the door. "JACKKKK!" I opened the door the same time Jack opened his. I gave him a confused look & he shrugged. "KIMMMMMM!" We started running down the stairs & separated. When I got into the kitchen, Kate was standing on the counter.

"Seriously? It's 9:30!" I exclaimed.

" . !" She shrieked.

"Yeah, okay & I'm a - AHHHHH!" I started as I spotted the rat & jumped on the counter with her. Jack ran into the kitchen & jumped when he saw the rat.

"JACK KILL IT!" Kate screamed. He started chasing the rat around the island & soon snatched it. He grabbed a towel & held the rat in his hands. He looked at me & shrugged.

"What?" I asked.

"Now what?" he asked.

"Get rid of it you crazy fudge bag!" Kate yelled. He walked to the back door & threw the rat.

"It's gone!" He said. We got off the counter & he threw the towel in the sink. He went to kiss me but I stepped back.

"No no no! Go wash your hands!" He gave me a Really? look & I nodded. "You touched a rat!" He sighed & walked to the sink.

"Oh & Kate! Wake me up one more time by screaming your head off & I'm gonna kill you." Jack stated.

"THERE WAS A RAT! What did you want me to do? Let it rome the house & let Kim or Mom find it?" Jack rolled his eyes & turned around. "Besides when have I ever woken you up?"

"Let's see! There was the time with the spider, the time you screamed in Kim's face, when your blowdryer broke, when you were taking the shower then we lost power, when you made the pep squad, when you got kicked off the pep squad-" Jack explained.

"Okay! We get it!" Kate shouted.

I just sat back & enjoyed the show. They continued to bicker back & forth. It entertained me until I remembered what today was.

My dad's hearing.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Jack hitting Kate with the towel he used to hold the rat. I got off the counter & walked upstairs. I closed the door to the guest room & started going through my clothes. I threw a black skirt & a creme shirt on the bed.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Kim? You okay?" Jack's voice echoed in the room. I sighed & stood up, making my way to the door. I opened the door & he walked in.

"Today's the hearing..." I started.

"I know. What time?" He asked.

"Uhh 12." I answered.

"Okay, I'll be ready by then." Jack shrugged & sat down on the bed. I nodded & then realized something. He wants to come.

"Wait, what?" I asked. I sat down on the bed next to him.

"I'm coming with you." He said. I shook my head.

"No your not." I corrected him. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Why?"

"I'll be fine. You don't have to-"

"I want to. I wanna be there for you." He said, cupping my cheek. I grabbed his hands gently & moved them away from my face. I leaned forward & kissed his cheek.

"You've already done so much for me. I'm so grateful but...I don't know what's gonna happen when I walk into the courtroom & if it get's ugly, I..." I explained, trailing off.

"Kim, I'm coming." Jack stated. I opened my mouth to fight with him but I sighed knowing that he'd win.

"Fine. Go take a shower rat man." He chuckled & kissed my forehead. He stood up & walked out of the room.

I walked over to the desk & plugged in my curling rod. I put my hair in a bun so I could do my make up. I still had some of the bruises on my face. I caressed my cheek as the memories flooded back. My left cheek was still flat, my right cheek wasn't swollen anymore, but it formed a black & blue, my bruised nose was almost healed, My left eye isn't swollen anymore & the cut starting from my lip going across my lower left cheek looked pretty much like a scratch now, thanks to the cover up. I tried not to put on to much because it might make it look noticeable.

I stopped taking the pain killers because it only made me feel numb & like I was high. I snapped out of my thoughts when I smelt the curling rod. I took my hair out of a bun & started curling my hair.

::::

I unplugged the curling rod & got changed. It was 11:03. I finished up my make up as Kate entered the room. She was wearing a rose colored skirt with a creme lace shirt. She smiled & sat down on the bed.

"I'm not gonna fight with you about coming." I said, knowing how that conversation would end.

"Good, you'd loose!" Kate stated. "The guys are coming too." I sighed as I put the mascara down.

"Why!" I whined.

"Because we are all gonna support you. Eddie called Milton & he told him what happened. Eddie said he'd call you when he comes back from his cruise but he told us to tell you he's glad your okay." I smiled.

We all missed Eddie.

"I'll send him a text after the hearing." I said. She nodded. The door creaked opened, revealing Jack. He was in black jeans & a blue dress shirt. I smiled. "You look handsome." I said. He smiled.

"Thank you. You look gorgeous." He said. I smiled & bit my lip.

"Thank you." I said as I blushed.

"You guys are so cute! Ugh, I miss having a boyfriend." Kate whined.

"So take my advice & ask out you know who." I said, referring to Jerry. I didn't wanna say his name in front of Jack because he wouldn't like that.

"Who?" He asked.

"None of your business rat boy!" Kate said, standing up. "...& I can't, if he turns me down, I'll lose it!"

"He won't trust me!" I said.

"Who?" Jack asked again. I shushed him & he sighed.

"I'm gonna see if mom's ready." Kate said, exiting the room. Jack shot me a look & I chuckled.

"She'll tell you when she's ready." I said fixing the collar on his shirt.

"Am I gonna like it?" He asked.

"You probably won't in the beginning, but I think you'll warm up to it." I answered honestly.

"Then I don't wanna know yet." He said as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I giggled & his hands grabbed my waist.

"You okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I answered. "I'm just worried how it's gonna turn out."

"Well, he'll hopefully be found guilty & you won't have to see that dirtbag again." Jack said.

"Let's hope." I sighed.

He cupped my face & kissed me. The kiss was filled with passion & I felt sparks going off again.

"You don't have to be worried. I'm gonna be sitting right there with you the hole time." Jack said. I smiled.

"Thank's Jack."

"No problem."

"Guys, mom's ready & the guys are gonna meet us there." Kate said, walking into the room. We nodded & he grabbed my hand. We walked out of the room & into Mrs. Brewer's car.

::::

We entered the room & saw my dad sitting at a table pasted the gates. Rudy, Milton, Jerry, Kate & Jack took their seats behind Mrs. Brewer, her lawyer & I. Mrs. Brewer was going to testify & share the result of my test & the security footage from the dojo. Then, I might have to testify. The judge showed up & we all stood up. He told us to sit back down & the trial began.

::::

I walked out of the courthouse with a smile on my face, my hand in Jack's & everyone I cared about surrounding me. We watched the cops load my dad into a car & send him to prison for the rest of his life. Thank's to Mrs. Brewer & the security footage, I didn't even have to testify.

Mrs. Brewer went home while Rudy drove all of us to Phil's to celebrate. We squeezed into one booth. Jack & I on one side, Milton & Kate on the other & Jerry & Rudy pulled up a chair. We joked around & ate as much Falafel as we could. It felt like we were there for 5 minutes when It was actually 2 hours.

"Look at the time..." Rudy started staring at his watch. "I gotta get going." He said standing up. "I'll see you kids tomorrow."

"Bye Rudy!" We all shouted as he walked out of the restaurant.

"We should probably get going too." Milton said. We all nodded & stood up.

The hole way home, Milton & Jerry bickered about Falafel while Kate called them idiots. Jack & I were 2 feet behind them, walking in a comfortable silence. We stopped in front of Milton's house.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." He said. We all gave him a good bye hug & watched him walk into his house.

"Bye Milton!" We shouted as the door closed.

Then, we reached Jack & Kate's house. Jerry came inside because he didn't have the keys to his house. Jerry & Jack were joking around in the living room while Kate & I disappeared into the kitchen.

*This hole conversation is yell whispered.*

"Just do it!" I said.

"I can't!" Kate said.

"Yes you can!" I corrected.

"No! I'm scared!" Kate whined.

"STOP WHINING!" I yell-whispered. "Kate, he really likes you!"

"You think this'll work?" She asked. I nodded my head.

"I'll take Jack in here & you can make your move."

"I'm gonna do it!" Kate said.

"There's the Kate I know." I said in a normal voice now. She smiled & we walked into the living room.

KATE'S POV

We walked into the living room & saw Jack & Jerry lying on the couch. I walked in & sat on the coffee table & Kim stood in the archway. "Jack..." She started. She ushered him to follow her into the kitchen. He stood up & followed her. I turned to Jerry & sighed.

"I have to tell you something." I said. He sat forward & looked concern. Probably because I was freaking out & I sounded nervous.

"What's up?" He asked. I took a deep breathe & looked into his eyes.

"You know how the day Kim's father attacked her at the dojo, Mike broke up with me?" I asked. He nodded & I continued. "He broke up with me because he heard me talking to Kim about how I sorta had feelings for another guy."

"Really?" He asked. I nodded. "Who were you talking about?" I took a deep breathe.

"You..." His eyes widened & he started to stutter.

"R-r-r-r-r-e-e-e-all-y-y-y?" He asked nervously. I nodded my head. After a few seconds of silence, I stood up & started to leave the room. "Wait!" I felt his hands grab my wrist & spin me around. I crashed into his chest & we looked into each other's eyes. He leaned forward & eventually our lips met. It obviously wasn't my first kiss but it felt way more special than that did. I felt fireworks going off as his arms moved to my waist & I wrapped my arms around his neck. We soon pulled apart as we heard footsteps from the hallway. We caught our breathe & our foreheads touched.

"Does this mean you feel the same way?" I asked.

"Kate, I've had feelings for you for a while now." He admitted.

"Then why didn't you make a move on me?" I asked.

"Because...You're Jack's sister so I tried backing off, & you were with Mike. I never thought in a million years that you could feel the same way." I smiled.

"That's where you were wrong." I said. He smiled & we kissed again. He pulled away & started yelling in spanish. "I don't know what your saying!" I yelled. He sighed.

"But you're Jack's sister." He said. I rolled my eyes & peeked to see if they were still in the kitchen. They were gone. I turned back to Jerry.

"Doesn't mean anything! He doesn't control me!" I stated.

"But-"

"Jack can yell all he wants about it, I don't care. I wanna be with you." I said as I cupped his face.

"I wanna be with you too." He said. He grabbed my hands & we started kissing again. We were interrupted by a car honking outside. We pulled away & I peeked out the window.

"It's your brother." He sighed & kissed me.

"Goodnight Kate."

"Night Jerry." I said as I watched him walk out the door. Once he was in his car, driving away, I started doing my happy dance. I plopped down on the couch & just smiled at the ceiling.

MEANWHILE - KIM'S POV

"Jack..." I said. I gestured him to follow me. He smiled & stood up. When we reached the kitchen, he spun me around & kissed me. He grabbed a spoon & put it to his mouth.

"Kim Crawford, you did something that most 16 year old girls can't do. You sent your father to prison. How do you feel?" He asked, pretending to be a reporter. He put the spoon to my mouth & I giggled.

"I feel upset. I want my boyfriend to make me feel better." I said with a pouty face. He chuckled & put the spoon down.

"How do you suppose I do that?" He asked.

"Like this..." I started. I stood on my tip toes & kissed Jack's lips. He kissed me back with so much passion & he started backing me into the wall. His hands moved down to my waist & my hands tangled in his shaggy hair. We pulled apart for air & our foreheads touched as we started taking deep breathes. He chuckled which caused me to giggle.

"Better?" He asked. I smiled.

"Almost." I crashed our lips together & we continued where we left off. He grabbed my waist & pulled me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist & tangled my fingers in his hair. We pulled apart for more air & a smile tugged at our lips.

I jumped down & grabbed his hand. I led him up the stairs. We walked into his room & went outside on the balcony. We stared out at the stars. We admired them in the dark sky. Then, we both turned to each other at the same. He smirked at me & I bit my lip. We turned to completely face each other & I lifted my hand to stroke his cheek. His hands wrapped around my waist as we looked into each other's eyes. We stayed like that for what felt like forever. Then, he pulled me closer, closing the gap in between us. Our lips were centimeters apart & it felt like the first kiss all over again as they met.

This kiss was different. It was filled with the same passion, love & had the same sparks as always, but this kiss was needy. His hands gripped my waist & we started backing up. He backed me up & we fell backwards on his bed.

Wait - how far did we back up?

He was on top of me, his hands placed on the bed to keep from crushing me as mine tangled in his hair again. He rolled over & I was now on top of him. I sat up & pulled him up with me. I stayed on his lap as we took a breather. I ran my fingers through my hair as I realized what we were doing & looked at him. I giggled which caused him to laugh.

"I think we should stop..." I said. He smiled & nodded.

"Before we get too carried away." He finished.

"Yeah." I got off his lap & stood up. I grabbed his hands & pulled him up with me. "But I liked it." I said.

"Me too." Jack said. He cupped my face & kissed me quickly. "I'm gonna take a shower, but I'll come in to say goodnight." I smiled.

"Okay." I answered. He let go of me & I exited his room. I walked across the hall to the guest room & closed the door. I threw on my red hello kitty pajama pants & the matching white hello kitty shirt. I threw my hair into a bun & walked into Kate's bathroom to remove my make up. I took my hair out of the bun as I walked back into the room & collapsed on the bed. My fingers caressed my lips & I smiled.

Jack never fails to make me happy. He makes me feel this indescribable pit in my stomach, but I love it. My mom told me that if I ever felt like that, it was true love. I know that Jack is the only guy for me. I could never picture myself dating anyone, but Jack. Now that I'm with him, I can't imagine being with anyone else.

Just the question is...does he feel the same way?

My smile faded as that thought kept running through my head. I sat up, running my fingers through my hair & took a deep breathe.

What if Jack & me aren't together forever? What if he leaves me for someone smarter, prettier, more talented & less screwed up?

I felt tears building up in my eyes as I collapsed back on the bed. The door creaked open & I immediately wiped them away. Jack stood in the door way & I knew he could tell something was wrong, but I decided to play dumb.

"Hey." I said. He smiled & sat down beside me.

"What's wrong?" He asked. I gave him a confused look.

"What do you mean?" I asked, hoping that sounded more convincing than it really was.

"Kim, don't play dumb. Why were you crying?" He asked, moving closer. He placed a hand on my back & started rubbing it.

"I don't know what your talking about." I said standing up & walking to the desk. I pretended to move things around when I heard Jack sigh.

"Kim, your eyes are red & puffy. Plus, your a horrible liar!" I turned around as he stood up & walked up to me. He lifted my chin up & looked into my eyes. "Tell me why you got upset." He said softly.

"It's stupid. I just got emotional." I said.

"About what?" He asked.

"About us..." He gave me a confused look. "Jack, relationships never last in my family. Everyone ends up divorced or widowed or something along those lines. And I'm just so screwed up & no one understands me like you do but...what if we don't last? Jack, I can't picture myself with any one else. Your the only guy I ever wanna be with & I want it to stay that way."

"Kim, just because the relationships you've witnessed didn't work out doesn't mean all of them are domed...& your not screwed up, even if you were, so what? Everyone's got issues. And don't think 'what if'. Kim, I can't live without you. Every time I tried to picture me with a girl, I only saw myself with you. Now, that came true & I couldn't be happier. If we both want it to work, it will." I smiled at him & threw my arms around his neck. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, bringing me closer to him. "I love you so much Kim." he said into my ear.

"I love you too." I said. We pulled apart & he wiped away a tear I didn't know escaped my eyes. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." He said. He gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Get some sleep." I nodded as he walked towards the door. I sat on the bed & turned to see him opening the door. I bit my lip & felt my heart race.

"Jack!" I said. He turned around & faced me. "Could you stay with me?" I asked. A smiled tugged at his lips & he closed the door. He collapsed down on the bed next to me. I moved closer & he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to his chest. I turned so I was facing him & I smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Same here." He said. He kissed my forehead & I turned back around. "Night Kim." I heard him whisper in my ear.

"Goodnight Jack." I whispered as I closed my eyes.

A/N: Not much excitement in this chapter. The story is coming to an end.

;( I KNOW!

I'm going to post the LAST CHAPTER on Sunday, just to get the story finished & I cam start posting the next two stories I just finished working on.

Now, instead of a preview to the last chapter, I'm going to give you a preview to the first chapter of my new story.

There's still no title so, here it is.

JACK'S POV: "So, there's no karate for a hole month...what are we suppose to do?" I asked. Kim opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She closed it & started thinking.

"I got nothing." Kim admitted.

"We could go to the beach, go shopping, we could always drive out of town for the day." Kate said.

"We could go to museums, the library-" Milton started.

"Milton, no one wants to do any of that." Jerry said.

"Julie does!" Milton said. We all rolled our eyes & exchanged looks.

"So you & Julie will have fun doing...that while we have a fun summer." Kate said.

"But seriously, what are we gonna do? This time Last summer we were at Anthem beach with half our grade, living it up. Then when we got home, we went on competitions & had a blast. Now, we're sitting in a pool with no plans." Kim said. We sat there in silence, listening to the music from the radio. Then, Milton's head shot up & he smiled.

"What is it Milton?" I asked. He looked around & gazed at every one of us.

"My parent's have a beach house in Manhattan Beach. We use to go every summer. It's right on the beach. We have two jet ski's, a bonfire set up. It's so much fun."

"What are you saying, bro?" Jerry asked.

"I'm saying...let's go on our own vacation. Just the 5 of us, it'll be fun."

"I like the sound of that!" Kate cheered.

A/N: Please tell me what you think of this.

And, I've decided to answer one of the reviews.
