Finishing the beauty shoot felt like a blur.
Nothing, not even Jack's hand being intertwined with hers, could bring her from the daze she received from hearing Olivia's voice. Was she close? Where was she? Obviously she wasn't dead because Kim just heard her voice.
Now, she could find her!
"You were great Liv." Eleanor threw her arm around Kim's shoulder and pulled her close.
"Yeah, I guess you probably just had some jitters and everything just overwhelmed you. Wasn't that it, Livvie?" Mrs. Holt asked. Kim looked up at Jack who just winked.
How could she get out of here without anyone noticing?
She couldn't talk to the mayor until March 31st. But they never said anything about stopping at the high school and checking records. If not, she could always check college as well. Olivia was out there somewhere, trying to get her life back.
"What do you say, Liv?" said Jack who's face just happened to be a couple centimeters from hers.
She blinked and shook her head, "About what?"
"Spacing out, again? What're you gonna do when you have to go to your autograph signings and have to answer like a million questions?" Eleanor asked, a small smile on her lips.
Mrs. Holt must've seen the confusion on Kim's face because she decided to clarify everything, "We wanted to know where you wanted to eat. Are you hungry?"
"Not really. I just-I really want to just go to the high school. In Seaford." Kim said dumbly. Never in her life had she wanted to face palm more. Telling them things that didn't add up to Olivia's personality was a really stupid thing to do.
What did a famous celebrity want with a high school in a small town, like Seaford?
"In Seaford? But that's kind of far. What would you want there?" Mrs. Holt asked, taking the car keys out of her purse.
"I-I met a fan earlier this week and I borrowed her scarf. I was hoping to give it back to her. She goes to Seaford High."
"Well, that's nice of you but I have to go run some errands and it might take a lot of the day to finish them. Can't you go tomorrow?"
"Nope. She's uh, leaving to go to visit her family in a different country for spring break."
"I don't know, Liv-"
"I can take her, Mrs. Holt." Jack piped up from beside her. Kim looked at him, bemused. He didn't return her glance instead looked at Mrs. Holt with his head held high.
Going for the confident look, I guess.
"I don't know." Mrs. Holt said, unsure. Eleanor took one look at Jack and Kim and smirked.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Holt. Jack'll make sure to be safe." Eleanor said, biting her lip to keep from laughing. It took two seconds for Kim to get what she meant and she blushed.
Jack, however seemed to think the joke wasn't funny at all and scowled. Mrs. Holt looked at Eleanor in shock.
"I meant about driving! He's the boyfriend, she'll be fine. Plus they might want a little alone time." Eleanor said, muttering the last part under her breath, so only Kim could hear.
Her blush deepened but she kept her head down to conceal it.
Damn Eleanor and her stupid perverted jokes. Jack wasn't like that. Or at least I hoped this Jack wasn't.
"Fine. Bring her back by no later than ten. Love you, Livvie." Mrs. Holt said and got in the car, Eleanor winked at them before climbing into the passenger seat.
The duo then turned and walked to Jack's Yellow Corvette.
Kim's eyes widened as she stood in awe of the car.
"You like? Bought it a couple days ago but didn't really think of taking it out. I call it the Lightning Strike."
She rolled her eyes, Stupid celebrities. They act like collecting million dollar cars are like collecting toy Hot Wheels.
"I just hope you don't kill us in your stupid Lightning Strike."
Jack gasped, "Don't say that out loud! You'll hurt his feelings!"
Kim climbed into the passenger seat, refusing to continue with their ridiculous conversation. Jack pulled out of the parking space just as Mrs. Holt's car left the parking lot.
Once they were on the highway, Kim decided to bring up the much dreaded question.
"Why did you volunteer to take me to Seaford?"
He stayed silent as he switched lanes and drummed his fingers against the steering wheel.
"Are you gonna ignore my question or-"
"This has to do with the thing you couldn't tell me in your dressing room, right?" Jack cut her off and glanced at her quickly before turning his eyes back to the road.
Kim gulped.
He was pretty smart for someone who acts like a fool all the time.
"Sort of." Kim whispered.
"I figured if you couldn't tell me, I could at least try to put two and two together to find out what you were trying to tell me." He explained.
"It'll be kind of hard. It's not really important; I don't know why you're wasting your time trying to figure it out."
"It concerns you, it seems like it's driving you off your rocker. So much so, that yesterday it was like you were a whole different person. You didn't remember your own name. You didn't remember any of your songs. Eleanor said when she went in your room; you had absolutely no idea who she was. Something's happening to you and what kind of boyfriend would I be if I at least didn't try to help you figure everything out? I'm always going to be there for you, Kim Crawford."
Kim's eyes widened, D-Did he just call me…?
"What did you just call me?"
"Olivia Holt?" Jack asked, bewildered at her outburst. "You see my point?"
That was weird. It was almost as if I could remember the Jack that knew me, telling me the exact same thing.
Probably just imagining things…
Author's Notes: Sorry if this chapter was short. I have big news though! (At least for me)
On Thursday, I'm going to…LONDON!
YES!
I've always wanted to go there and now I can! I have never been to the other side of the world and it has aggravated me so much that everyone in my family has except me.
So, how does this concern you all?
Well, I'm supposed to be checking out colleges with my grandma and her friend which means next Sunday, I will probably not be posting a new chapter.
I'll post one as soon as I can though! Just don't expect one on Sunday :p
Oh! And who likes the new layout for this site? I think it looks so much better!
