Okay so this story is taking a different approach, and when I say that I mean I haven't seen this done before in any of the fanfics that I've read; so it's good and bad because A.) it's something new. But then B.) Idk if you guys are gonna like it. However Kick or (Kack, whichever you prefer shall prevail in the end. I give you my word.) Hope you enjoy…kinda?
*A Few Days Later*
Kim's POV:
I've been out of the hospital for about a few days, and Jack has been taking care of me. But things are distant between us. It's definitely weird, and I think I know why. Jack has been asking me about what happened with my family and why my parents aren't around, I've been hesitant to tell him; but I think I should. I think he feels weird about spending the night here when we're all alone; even though his mom is literally next door…
"Jack?..." I said as I looked up and found him standing at my window.
He turned around, and walked towards my bed, then kneeled down on the floor and put his hands in mine.
"Yes Kim?" He said his eyes intently looking into mine.
"I think I'm ready to tell you now…." I said as I returned the stare.
"Go ah-" Bzzzz Bzzz Bzzzzz
JACK'S POV:
I was interrupted by the buzz of my phone charging on Kim's nightstand. It was from a blocked number but I knew who it was from. I excused myself from Kim, and walked outside stating that I had to take the call.
She nodded compliantly.
"What do you want Erica?!" I yelled/whispered so that Kim didn't hear me, but at the same time I was frustrated. When I told her she could call me she knew I meant it was for emergency purposes and emergency purposes only!
"Hello?!" I asked after I didn't get an answer, but I could hear a lot of commotion in the background.
"RICKY…PLEASE DON'T DO THIS PLEASE….PLEASE. AHHH JAAAAAAACK!"
I heard Erica scream through the phone, I instantly know Weaver is behind this.
Ricky Weaver is my ultimate enemy, I mean I thought Brody was bad back home in Seaford, but when I was in North Carolina and met Ricky for the first time, I realized I over-estimated Brody. At least Brody had the decency to apologize for his indecencies, but Ricky? No he was a cold soul. Erica's ex. I mean he wasn't much of a boyfriend to begin with, he just used her as a play mate, and I suppose when I put a stop to that, that's when her obsession with me began. Now I was worried and I knew I had to track Erica down to save her before Ricky did anything horrible, but I can't just leave Kim with no explanation.
I decided to tell Kim that I had to run some quick errands for my mom and that Jerry (since I called him) would be there soon to take care of her and keep a watchful eye on her. I didn't fill him in on the details, because knowing Jerry he would go on blabbing his mouth without thinking twice about it.
Kim's Pov:
I was ready to tell Jack about how my dad left when my mom got sick. I knew I had to tell him sooner or later, but I just wanted it to be much much later. I'm talking let's grow old together watch our kids grow up together confessions over here. I just couldn't. I couldn't tell him how day by day my mom was forgetting all about me, and about her life, and the home she built with the man who she thought loved her. But I suppose any man who leaves you in a home, and runs off to marry your nurse doesn't love you at all does he? No love and no respect. I lay down drowning in my thoughts and sorrows not even second guessing myself about what Jack would be doing, or where he was going. All I could think about in that moment was how right after Jack moved; my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers, and how things progressed quickly with the process of her memory deteriorating. As much as I tried to keep her memory alive the more it faded away day by day. Soon she had to be relocated to a home a few towns away, I would take a bus and try to make it up there frequently, but the visits just became harder and harder because every time she was a different person, or at least I was a new person to her. Soon I just completely stopped going, it was too hard. Especially after I caught my dad with the nurse, I swore I would never ever talk to him again. I just wanted to give up. I was officially left alone except for a once a month visit from my new legal guardian my aunt. She was cool and definitely my favorite, but I couldn't ask her to give up her successful and glamorous life as a worldwide photographer just to take care of me. She didn't deserve that, just like my mother didn't deserve the circumstance that was handed to her. I lay still staring at the ceiling, and suddenly dozed off.
