Kim's pov:
It was Tuesday. That means tomorrow is the day I have to sing. I'm so nervous. I still have to pick out my song. What of I mess up.
"Kim?"
I mean what if I get laughed at. I haven't sang in years. It reminds me to much of my mom. I'm freaking out.
"KIM!" Jack yelled
"What?!" I scream
"I've been calling your name but you haven't been answering" jack said sympathetically
"Oh. I'm sorry I was just thinking" I remark
"About what?" Jack asked
"Tomorrow...and singing" I say barely audible
"Kimmy don't be nervous. I will be right there." Jack says hugging me
"Jack I'm really not in the mood. You being there will not solve everything" I storm out
jacks pov:
Kim has never lashed out at me. She must be really freaked but how can I help? I walk outside and see Kim laying on the grass. I go next to her and just squeeze her hand. The next few moments are in silence.
"...jack?" Kim says
"Yes Kim?" I ask
"I'm sorry for freaking on you. I'm just very nervous for tomorrow" Kim says looking at the sky
"It's okay. I get it and I think you need to be by yourself for the rest of the day and practice" I smile
"I guess..but" Kim starts to speak again but I cut her off
I kiss her forehead and get up and leave her there thinking.
The rest of the day was boring. I haven't seen Kim since then and I miss her. I wonder what she's doing. Then I hear my door open.
"JACK!" Kim says jumping on me
"Kim!" I reply
"I found my song and I'm ready for tomorrow!" Kim says pulling my into a hug
"Great job" I say hugging back
Kim's pov
After jack and I talked. We went down for dinner. Ate. Then got ready for tomorrow. Then I dozed off to sleep.
I woke up with the alarm buzzing. Ugh. It's 6:30. I got dressed in a sundress with cowboy boots and woke jack up
"Jackie" I whispered in his ear
'No response' hmmm
"Oh Brett don't tell jack but I love you" I say trying not to laugh
Jack immediately woke up "Kim I had a crazy dream. You took Brett back and.."
Jack stopped when he realized I was on the floor laughing my head off. "Oh you said that to wake me up. " he said
I nod and tell him to get ready and soon we are off to the park. Once we get there we see everything getting set up and people running everywhere. I didn't notice someone coming so I was bumped unexpectedly and knocked on the floor.
"OW" I say dusting the dirt off
"Oh sorry I wasn't looking...oh wait it's just you crawfish" donna said
I got up and ignored her and saw her eying me. So I went to jack and passionately kissed him. I saw in the corner of my eye her stomping which broke her heel. HA!
"What was that for?" Jack flustered
"Just because"I saw sweetly and make my way towards the stage
"Kimberly Crawford" someone yelled
I turn my head to see mike the stage director "yes?"
"We need you to practice. You will sing at noon and its 8:30 already" he said checking his watch.
"Okay but don't turn my microphone on please" I say
He looks confused but just nods "and one two three"
The song starts playing and I sit on the side of the stage and start singing making sure no one hears. I close my eyes and think about my mom. Soon the song was over.
"Good job Kim. You have a couple of hours to mingle. People start arriving at nine" mike says and leaves
I walk around mingling and looking for jack. Then a pair of hands went over my eyes. I smiled and turned around to see my dad
"Kimmy are you ready" my dad asks
"Yup daddy. I sing at noon so please be there" I smile
"I wouldn't miss it for the world kimmy-bear" he kisses my forehead and then goes and mingles with the elders sitting at a picnic table.
I look at my clock and its 9:30 which means people are here and we need to start raising money fast. I see plenty of families come in and I start handing out raffle tickets. I walk around and smile and check out the board that shows our ranking. We've only raised 100$ so far and we need a lot more. I hope we make it. I finally find my boyfriend but he is surrounded by girls and the pretty kind. Jealousy fumes through me when I see one feeling his biceps. I put the raffles down on the table and go to jack.
"Hey jack." I spat
He looks uncomfortable and has pleading eyes "hey Kim"
The girls look at me and exchange words "aren't you Kim Crawford" one girl asks
"Yeah so?" I say
"We went to high school with you" another one says
Oh no. High school. I was the biggest nerd until senior year and that's when Donna left me.
The third girl looks at jack and holds his bicep saying "kimmy here was so known at our school. She was the girl with no friends and no mother"
Tears start to well up. "Looks like I've changed" I say crossing my arms
"No no no see if you did Jackie here wouldn't be all over me" the first girl winks at him
Jack pulls his arm out of her grasp and puts his arm around my shoulder. I was about to run. The embarrassment was too much but jack then spoke up
"But kimmy did change. She's smart, beautiful, and can kick butt. That's why she is my kimmy and I was not all over you. You were the one all over me" jack says while smiling at me
"Ugh jack get away from her while you can" the second girl says
"No and you need to stop harassing Kim" jack replies
"Or what bad boy" the third girl winks
With that jack cups my cheeks and starts kissing my full of force. I kiss back and soon forget those idiots were standing there until I feel there hair whip my face. Jack breaks out of the kiss and puts my fore head to his. "You are the only one for me kim" and kisses me one more time. Soon jack and I enjoy the fair and get some food and go on the Ferris wheel. I lost track of time until my phone beeped and the clock says 11:50.
"Oh no. Jack I need to get on stage" I start to run but am restrained
"Not until I get my kiss" he winks
I laugh and peck his lips and look in his eyes
"Good luck and remember I will be there the whole time" jack says
Then I ran to the other side of the fair to the stage and get hooked up. The last act before me finished and then mike introduced me
"Here is Kimberly Crawford" everyone clapped
I get to the microphone and all is silent "um hi I'm Kim and I will be singing fearless"
Everything was so silent I could here a pin drop until the music started and I started to sing
You used to make my heart pound
Just the thought of you
You used to be a cold wind
Always blowing through
But I won't take it anymore
That's not what I came here for
I'm stuck in your head
I'm back from the dead
Got you runnin' scared
I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out
I'm takin' you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless I'm fearless
I got the upper hand now
And you're losin' ground
You never had to fight back
Never lost a round
You see the gloves are coming off
Tell me when you've had enough, yeah
Ready for a showdown
And we're face to face
I think I'll rearrange it
Put you into place
You don't get the best of me
Check it, you're afraid of me
I'm stuck in your head
I'm back, back from the dead
Got you runnin' scared
I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out
I'm takin' you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless, I'm fearless
I'm fearless
You used to make my heart pound
Just the thought of you
But now you're in the background
What you gonna do?
Sound off if you hear this
We're feelin' fearless!
We're feelin' fearless!
I'm stuck in your head
I'm back, back from the dead
Got you runnin' scared
I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out
I'm takin' you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless
I'm stuck in your head
I'm back, back from the dead
I'm fearless
Got you runnin' scared
I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out
I'm takin' you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless, I'm fearless
The song ends and everyone is silent for a moment then they all start screaming and cheering. I'm so overjoyed I start to cry. I walk off the state and I go and check the board. We are almost to our goal. We need 500 more dollars. The fair goes on for one more hour and they made the cut! We saved the town. I run to jack and he sound me around
"We made it. We reached our goal!" I screech
"Kim you were amazing. Your voice was wow. I'm speechless. You are the main reason we got this money" he responds
I grab his neck and we share a short sweet kiss. When we broke I started to jump. I was so happy! Once we got everything cleared out we made our way home.
"I can't believe we are leaving. I forgot how much I missed this place" I say
"Of coarse you miss it. It's your home. But right now lets make California your home...with me" jack says shyly
I peck his lips "I can't wait to see what the future hold for us
