A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I'M CO-WRITING THIS STORY WITH TWILIGHTELENA SO SHE HELPED WRITE THIS CHAPTER. THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER IN THIS STORY :)
Later that night Jason and Kimberly were laying in their bed wide awake. Neither of them could sleep.
"Jason are you awake?" Kimberly asked.
"Yes, you can't sleep either?"
"No, do you think Perrie is telling the truth?"
"He's been honest about everything else, why would he lie about what he saw?"
"I don't know." Kimberly sighed.
She sat up. "Jason what are we going to do with this information?"
Jason sat up and patted the seat next to him. Kimberly climbed into bed with him.
"Look, we can't tell the others."
"We never kept secrets from each other before."
"We will tell them but we need to find more proof first."
"How, we can't just ask Kat she'll deny everything."
"We need to watch her reaction closely."
"Reaction to what?"
"We're going to tell the others that Perrie saw and can identify the person behind this, we won't tell them he already did. Depending on how Kat reacts will tell us everything we need to know."
"If she doesn't react?"
Jason sighed. "I don't know. We will think of something."
Kimberly sighed and cuddled into his side. "Do we have to tell them?"
"They're going to ask."
"They'll ask if he's the stalker, they won't ask….about what I did…."
"That's what you're really worried about isn't it?"
"You're the only one who knows."
"Look, we have to tell them the truth Kim. Otherwise they have no reason to trust he is telling the truth."
"It could cost me my friendship."
"Hey, when we were six years old we made a promise to each other that we'd always be friends no matter what. Everyone will understand."
"How do you keep a promise like that when one of the friends is stalking another?"
"I promise Kim we will figure something out. Just try and hang in there."
Kimberly nodded and let the sleep take over. Jason kissed her head and let the sleep take over him too.
The next day everything was fine during school hours no one asked any questions and Kimberly was able to keep quiet about what happen.
After school everyone went to the park to do homework still no one said anything. Until finally Kat asked something.
"Ok, since no one is going to ask I will. What happen yesterday with Perrie is he the stalker?"
Kimberly and Jason shared a look. Then they looked back to the others.
"He isn't the stalker. The voice didn't match up and he had no idea about my abusive past." Kimberly answered stiffly.
"Was he ok towards you, since Jason was there?" Tommy asked.
Kimberly looked down at her lap. "Yeah, he…he was fine."
"Kimberly just tell them the truth." Jason said.
She looked at him with wide eyes. Why did he have to say that?
"Tell us what Kim?" Tommy asked.
"I wasn't ready to let another man into my life so I…" Kimberly trialed off and muttered something before finishing off clearly. "…but now I don't mind so me and Perrie are getting along."
"Kimberly you muttered the most important part."
"I ied o ou lease on't ate me." She muttered again.
"Kimberly…Beautiful please look at me."
Kimberly looked up at Tommy.
"If Perrie hurt you please tell me."
"He didn't hurt me. Not yesterday or the first time."
"What?"
"I lied to you."
"I KNEW IT!" Kat yelled standing up.
"Hold on Kat, let Kimberly explain." Jason said.
"I wasn't ready to let another man into my life after my dad and I knew you'd speech me about it if I told you the truth so I lied and said he was a jerk. Please don't hate me." Kimberly whimpered.
No one said anything.
"You hate me don't you?"
"No!" Tommy said quickly. "We're shocked."
"I just wasn't ready but after Tommy and I sparred I felt ready. I'm sorry I lied to you all. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course Kim."
Everyone smiled and nodded.
"Perrie is a really great guy. He and Kim have more in common that she thought." Jason explained.
"Like what?" Adam asked.
"He and I both had abusive father who smoked and caught asthma because of it."
"Wow, that's pretty big."
"He really helped Kim with coming to terms with her illness and more confident about it." Jason told them.
Kimberly turned to Tommy and faced him. "I'm sorry I doubted your love for me just because of my illness. I understand now that you Love me for me despite my illness."
"Don't be sorry Beautiful. I'd just really like to meet this man. He seems to have had a big impact on you."
"He did, he wants to meet you too."
"Maybe next time we can all go meet him." Tommy suggested.
"Yeah, that'd be great. He could really help us if we go. He said if he ever saw the person he'd be able to identify the person he heard on the phone plotting to attack Kim." Jason said.
Kim looked at Kat. She looked normal. "Well it's rude to invite ourselves."
"Oh you're not. Perrie told me next time we go over there he'd like you all to come. He even invited your parents." Kimberly said.
"Well I don't think I'm going. He sounds like a con to me." Kat said.
"A con?"
"You know what a con is Kimberly."
"Of course I do but how can you think he's a con?"
"Ok…maybe not a con but I'm telling you he's only after one thing and that's your mom. Making nice with you gives him an instant win to her heart. Women love men who get along with their children."
"What does he want Kat? He told me all he wants is a friendship."
"Yeah with you. He wants more than that with your mom…well maybe a friend with benefits."
"Kat stop it. Perrie isn't like that. I've met him. He respects women way too much." Jason said.
"He was acting nice because you were there. He only wants one thing from your mom Kim, I mean it's just like those horror movies. The child doesn't like the new step-parent but then decides to give them a chance and they end up being some crazy killer and murders the other parents leaving the child alone with them, then they end up being abused."
Kimberly stood up and walked away her breathing increasing a bit. Jason got up and went after her. He pulled her into his arms from behind.
"Don't listen to her. This is what I was hoping for. She is trying to avoid going over there because we said he could identify her and she doesn't want to be found out. She is just trying to scare you. Don't listen to her and don't have an attack you're fine. I'd be able to tell if Perrie was bad or not. He's not ok. You trust me more than Kat right?"
Kimberly nodded.
"So trust me when I say, you can trust Perrie ok?"
Kimberly nodded again. Tommy walked over.
"Everything ok over here?"
"Yeah Kim just got a little spooked by Kat's story."
"Don't listen to her Kim. You know how she gets." Tommy said.
"I know I'm ok."
"No you're not, what's wrong?" Tommy asked.
He could read her like an open book. He knew her better than anyone. He knew there was more bothering her that she wasn't saying.
Kimberly and Jason shared a look.
"Ok, now I know something is going on. What is it?"
"Look, we can't tell you with everyone here. Walk home with us later and Kim and I will explain everything." Jason said.
"Ok."
They all went back to the table.
"Well I want to meet Perrie, and I'm sure my parents do too. The rest of you can do what you want." Tommy said as he sat back down.
"We will talk to our parents about it and get back to you." Trini said to Kim.
She just nodded.
Later on in the evening Kimberly, Tommy, and Jason were walking home.
"So, what's going on?" Tommy asked.
"Perrie didn't just say he could identify the person behind this, he did identify the person and who he said it was will shock you." Jason answered.
"Who is it?" Tommy asked.
"Kat." Jason said.
Tommy sighed. "Is he sure?"
"He said he was."
"It would make sense. All those letter have been saying to break up with me, only her close friends know about the abuse. She wants me and I wouldn't be surprised she tried to kill Kim in order to have me."
"We have no other proof yet, but I know Kim would have gone insane keeping this from you."
"Thank you for telling me. I'll keep it quiet until we have more proof." Tommy said.
"Thank Bro."
"Thanks Tommy." Kimberly said quietly
They three of them continued to walk. Suddenly Kim stopped in front of a house.
"What's wrong?" Jason asked.
"Home…" was all Kimberly had to say.
Jason and Tommy stopped to look and saw they were standing in front of Kim's house. Only it was different…it looked abandoned.
"As soon as all this mess is covered Kim you and your mom will be able to come home."
"No, I want to go inside."
"Kim…."
"No, just for a minute."
"Ok fine but we are coming with you."
They all walked inside. There was dust everywhere and spider webs were in every corner.
"Come on Kim, let's go home." Jason said gently.
"This is home. I want to stay here."
"Kimberly you aren't safe here."
"If the stalker is Kat she knows I'm staying with Jason. I'm no safer there than I am here."
"If Kat is not the stalker…."
"I just want to be home. Please."
"Ok, look I don't live far from here. Tommy and I will go back to my house and grab the car. Then we will come back and get you. Do you have your inhaler?"
"In my pocket."
"Cell phone?"
"Other pocket."
"Ok, we will be right back. Do NOT leave this house and do NOT open the door to anyone but us."
Kimberly nodded.
They both walked out of the house. Kimberly sighed and turned on the light and walked into the kitchen. She turned on that light and looked around. She sighed. She missed home so much.
"Feeling a little home sick are we?" a voice asked.
Kimberly turned startled by the voice. "Kat? What are you doing here?"
"I knew you'd come back here one day. Although you've been so clingy to the guys I was starting to think you'd never leave them alone."
(A/N my partner TwilightElena wrote this part)
"I have every right to be clingy Kat. I am being stalked and someone has attacked me. You know that. I have to protect my mother."
"I know but the boys don't like you clinging to them. They told me themselves. What were their exact words… let me think. Oh yea Jason said he couldn't believe that you wouldn't let go of Tommy. It was so childish."
"Jason wouldn't say that…"
"You think so highly of the boys but they are just as annoyed with you as I am…."
"I- I didn't know I was annoying anyone…"
"Yes Kimmy you are truly getting on everyone's nerve."
"I'm sor- wait… you have never called me Kimmy before… the only other person who called me Kimmy was my…"
Kat eyed her angrily and said "your what Kimberly?"
"My stalker…. In the letters the person has always called me Kimmy…"
"What are you saying?"
"You…"
"Me what?"
"You are my stalker…Perrie was right… "
Kat just laughed, "Too bad you figured it out…it was a lot of fun torturing you."
"Why would you do that to me?"
"I wanted you to leave Tommy, I thought that was obvious. I want him and I don't want you to have him."
"Tommy is mine Kat! Stay away from him."
"Or what Kimmy? I already had you beat up once… what makes you think I won't do it again?"
"Everyone will know it is you. Perrie already knows and he told Jason and Jason told Tommy. If I get hurt again they will know."
"And you think that will work? I can play innocent so easily." She batted her eyelashes and said "Me? I would never hurt Kimberly… she is my friend... you believe me right Tommy? Why would I hurt her?"
Her face changed back and she grinned "you won't win Kimmy…. Just leave him and I won't hurt you."
"I won't give up Kat. I love him."
"Love… what a funny word. Too bad he doesn't love you back."
"He loves me."
"Yea… he loves you so much he started ticking me when I was upset and he ended up on top of me. He kissed me Kimmy…"
"That isn't true!"
"Yea it is and he is such a good kisser."
"Stop it Kat!"
"His lips felt so good on mine and he was on top of me, in the park. In your special place… "
"Shut up!"
"No! Leave him and I won't bother you anymore."
"I will never leave Tommy!"
"Then I will pretend to be upset again and he will make me feel better… he will kiss me again and hug me… and…"
Kimberly was upset and her chest was heaving. "Stop it Kat!" she was beginning to have a asthma attack.
"He even calls me beautiful. He says I am the only girl for him"
"Stop-p it-tt" her breathing was uneven as she sunk to the floor. The attack getting the better of her.
Kat grinned as she reached into her pocket to grab her inhaler. Kat walked over and yanked the inhaler from her hands with such force it knocked her onto her stomach. Kat smirked and walked away "Bye Kimmy…." She kept the inhaler and ran off.
Kimberly grew panicked. She couldn't scream and she couldn't breathe. She reached into her pocket and opened a text message sending it to Tommy. She typed "Cde pnk." Her hands were shaking so bad and she was so weak she could barely press the buttons. She hit send and dropped the phone to the floor as she rolled onto her back gasping for air. Suddenly she heard the door burst open.
"KIMBERLY!" Jason called.
"HERE!" Kimberly screamed as loud as she could.
Tommy and Jason rushed into the kitchen and gasped at the sight of Kim on the floor gasping for air. Her face had turned a light shade of purple from the lack of oxygen. They both rushed over to her and got down by her.
"Kimberly where is your inhaler?" Jason asked.
Kimberly couldn't speak. She just reached out to cling to him
"All right, all right. Just hang in there." He soothed.
"We need to get her to the hospital."
"No time, Stay here with her I'm going to see if I can find her inhaler somewhere." Jason said.
He got up and ran.
"Son!" Kimberly choked out.
"Shhh Beautiful, shhh it's ok." Tommy soothed. He took Kim into his arms and rocked her side to side gently.
"Ok, Kim I want you to do something for me. Close your eyes. Just close your eyes."
Kimberly did as he said.
"Now picture yourself at a beach. No one else is around just you and me. The sun is setting, we're sitting on the beach I'm holding you just like this. The sound of the waves are crashing ashore, the seagulls are crying out in the distance. It's peaceful and it's quiet. You're relaxed, you're safe." Tommy said.
Kimberly's breathing seemed to slow so he continued.
"We are watching the sun set. It's beautiful mix of orange and yellow. There is a gentle breeze blowing against us. My arms are wrapped tightly and protectively around you. Your head is resting gently against my chest. You're slowly starting to get sleepy."
As Tommy spoke Kimberly was starting to get sleepy. Jason came running out.
"There is no inhaler in her house, we need to get her to the hospital."
"Ok, go start the car I'll get Kim."
Jason rushed out. Tommy lifted Kim bridal style but kept speaking so she didn't get worse.
"I'm gently stroking your hair and rocking you side to side as you slowly start to fall asleep."
He walked into the car and sat down in back. Jason took off.
"How is she?" Jason asked.
"Calming down. I think me talking to her is helping." Tommy said.
"Keep talking then. "
Tommy looked back to Kim. Her face had gone pale but it was no longer purple.
"You're safe Beautiful, you're safe. Shhhh try and relax. I'm right here. Nothing is going to hurt you. Try and just take deep breaths."
"Can't…breathe….Tommy help!"
"Shhhh, try and just relax, sweetie. I'm right here. Nothing is going to hurt you."
Finally they arrived at the hospital. Tommy grabbed Kim and they ran inside.
"Help please My girlfriend she can't breathe. She has asthma and she had an attack and couldn't find her inhaler." Tommy said. A nurse ran over with a gurney.
"Lay her down."
Tommy did and she screamed. Her breathing increasing again.
"Can I come back?" Tommy asked.
"Only family is allowed."
"I'm her brother." Jason called as he ran inside.
The nurse nodded and Jason came over grabbing Kim's hand.
"I'm here baby sister. I'm here shhhh." He soothed.
Kimberly calmed down slightly. They all ran into the back and Tommy was left standing there alone just hoping and praying Kimberly was ok.
A/N next chapter the guys wonder what happen but Kim is too scared to speak. Will Kat ever be caught? For updates and sneak peeks at my future work fan me on facebook here: .com/pages/Hopelessromanticgurl/122036234528562
