A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

At school the next day all was going well until it was time for Kim and Jason to go to different classes. Kimberly assumed she would just go with Jason to his class so she followed him to his locker. As he got his books the others came over. Kim got nervous as to why they were there. Jason got his last book and sighed. He knew what happened next and he hated it. He closed his locker and looked at Tommy. Tommy nodded his head telling him he could trust him. Jason leaned in and kissed Kim on the head.

"You'll be ok."

Kimberly's heart stopped. Was he really going to leave her? She couldn't take a chance.

"NO!"

She grabbed onto Jason for dear life. Her fingers gripped Jason's shirt.

"No!" she cried. "Don't leave me Jason please don't leave me!"

Jason rubbed her back. "You'll be safe with Tommy. Kim I promise."

"No, no, no!"

Jason sighed he knew Tommy would have to pry her off him and he really didn't want her to go through that. He kissed her head and said

"Kimberly I promise you, you will be ok."

"No Jason no!"

She clung tighter when Tommy started rubbing her back

"Do you remember when we met Beautiful?"

She nodded her head.

"I protected you before I even knew you but now that we are as close as we are I would die before I let anyone hurt you I promise."

She loosened her grip just a bit.

"Let Jason go ok. I'll take care of you."

Kimberly sighed and let go of Jason. She leaned into Tommy and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her.

"I got you I promise."

Jason went to his class and Tommy and Kim and the others went to theirs. After class was over Tommy and Kim waiting by Jason's locker till he got back.

"Thanks for being so great to me."

"Hey I love you Kim there is nothing I wouldn't do for you."

"You love me?"

"Yes Kim I do. I love you very much."

"I love you too."

She leaned in and kissed him.

"Get a room!" a voice called out

They pulled away and saw Jason. Kimberly ran into his arms and hugged him.

"Hey Kimbo how was class?"

"Fine."

"See I told you, you would be fine didn't I?"

He tickled her stomach.

"No!" she squealed as she wiggled trying to get away as she burst into giggles

"No? I could have sworn I did." he teased.

"You did. No as is no don't tickle me." she squealed in giggles.

"Don't tickle you why not?" he asked

Her giggles turned in breathless laughter.

"Say I was right and I'll stop." Jason told her

"Yohohohou wererererere rihihihihihihght." she laughed breathlessly.

He stopped and she caught her breath back.

"Plus Tommy and I just confessed our love to each other."

Jason smiled and said "It's about time."

They all laughed and Bulk and Skull came over.

"Hey look its Kimberly Hart." Skull said

"Please don't call me that." Kimberly said

"It's who you are. You are all over news. We know everything about you now Kimberly Hart." Bulk said

Kimberly buried her face in Jason's chest.

"Don't call me that." she whimpered again

"Leave her alone." Jason said holding her tight

"You're not even her big brother why do you care?" Skull asked

"Bulk isn't your brother but you care about him." Tommy said

"Whatever the whole school knows now Kimberly Hart." Skull said

He and Bulk walked away.

"Don't call me that. Don't call me that. Don't call me that." Kimberly muttered.

"Shhhhh baby sister. You are Kimberly Scott not Hart." Jason said rubbing her back

"Everyone knows. They can't know. Jason they can't." she whispered

"Hey shhhhh its ok I got you." Jason said

"Please don't leave me Jase I really just want to stay with you." she whimpered

"Ok sweetie you can just stay with me come on lets go to lunch." he said rubbing her back

They all went to lunch and finished school.

Kimberly stayed close to Jason for a while. She hardly ever left his side. Tommy invited her out on a date but she wasn't so sure.

"Kim go out with Tommy nothing will happen. I promise you he will protect you." Jason said

"Ok fine I will but promise you'll be here when I come home?"

"I promise."

Kimberly went to call Tommy as Jason smiled. Kimberly and Tommy planned for the next day to go see a movie and got out to eat dinner.

Later that night at dinner Jason and his parents were caught up in a conversation that Kim had no idea what about. She felt so left out. She always felt left out. She still felt like she was a friend instead of a part of the family.

"Kimberly and Tommy are going out tomorrow." Jason said

"That's wonderful honey." Sally said

"Yeah great wonderful so Jase how are doing in school getting good grades?" Jim asked

Kimberly looked down.

"Yes dad." Jason sighed

Kimberly grabbed her dish and put it in the sink and went to her room. Jason got up and went after her. He knew there wasn't much he could say but he always made her feel better just by holding her in his arms and that's just what he did.

The next day Kimberly and Tommy sat at Applebee's they had just seem a movie and were finishing off the night with some dinner. They talked and laughed so much. As Tommy was signing the check Kimberly sighed.

"What wrong?" Tommy asked

"Our date is over and I have to get home.

"Jason will be there so you won't be alone."

"It's not that. Can I tell you something private?"

"Sure Beautiful."

"Promise you won't tell Jason?"

"I promise Beautiful."

"Whenever I am home it doesn't feel like home. I don't feel like I belong there. I still feel like just a friend instead of part of the family. Jason tried to include me but Jim just ignores him and talks about something I don't understand. I feel like I'm not wanted there. Jim has made it clear he doesn't like me anymore since I killed my mom."

"Kimberly you didn't kill your mom. Jim is hurting and upset just like you only he takes his anger out on you. I know it's not fair but life isn't always fair."

"I know but I just thought by now I would at least feel like a part of the family. Jim doesn't include me in any family activities. Jason always has to remind him I'm there now and then Jim throws a fit because it's supposed to be family time. Though he doesn't say it I know he is thinking that I'm not part of them family."

Kimberly was almost in tears.

Tommy reached across the table and took her hand. Kim sniffed holding back tears. Tommy rubbed his thumb over her knuckles.

"Kim I really think you should tell someone about this. It doesn't have to be Jim but at least tell Jason."

"What is he going to do? He has already told my dad over and over that he needs to include me more and make me feel like a member of this family he just ignores Jason. That's why you can't tell Jason I'm telling you this. He will go right to his dad and they will just get into a fight."

She looked down as a fear tears fell down her cheeks, "I just want to be part of a family again."

Tommy heard her and got up from him booth and went to sit next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.

"Kim if you feel this strongly about it then maybe you should talk to Jim. Just sit him down just you and him and tell him how you feel."

"What if he laughs in my face?"

"Then I'll talk to my parents about making you a part of our family."

She looked at him and smiled.

"Ok."

They shared a kiss before heading home.

The next morning as everyone sat down for breakfast Kimberly said "Can I talk to everyone for a minute?"

"Sure Kim." Jason answered

"Of course sweetie." Sally said

"Make it fast." Jim said

Kimberly took a deep breath.

"I really don't know have to say it so I'm just going to say it. I don't feel a member of this family. I still feel like just a friend to you guys. I thought by now I would feel more at home and like I belonged here but I don't. I'm never included in any family stuff you guys do and you always have conversations I can't be a part of and it is just really starting to bother me. It makes me seem like you guys don't care about me anymore. I felt more like I was part of this family before I lost my other one. Now that I am I don't feel it anymore and I was just wondering if maybe I was asking too much to just been accepted here or maybe that's what you guys want. Maybe you don't want me to be part of this family."

It was quiet for a second then Jim said "Alright kid I think it's time you hear the truth."

"Dad no!"

"Jim don't!"

"I never wanted you here. I don't think of you as my daughter or even a close family friend. I see you as a reason I lost my best friend. It was Sally's idea for you to stay here. I don't want you here or to be a part of this family. I can't accept you because I can't get over what your father did and as long as you have the same blood as him I never will. You don't belong here Kimberly" Jim said.

"DAD!"

"JIM!"

"What she wanted the truth I gave it to her."

"Thanks that's all I wanted to know."

She got up from the table and ran out the front door.

"DAD I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!"

He got up and ran after Kim.

Kim was running and crying. The first thought in her head was to go to Tommy's but he would just call Jason. Then she saw figure. It was some she thought and hoped she would never have to see again. As the figure came closer she was sure it was her father. The way she felt right now all she wanted was someone to love and care about her and regardless of what he did she knew her father would always love and care for her. She ran into his arms and cried into his chest. He rubbed her back and kissed her head.

"Shhhhh Kimmie cub shhhhh daddy's here now." he said "What's wrong my angel?"

"The Scott's they don't care about me. They don't want me anymore. I don't feel loved anymore daddy."

"Shhhhh angel it's all right now. Daddy is here and I love you so much."

"Why don't you come live with me? I will always care about you and love you."

She was going to respond when she heard someone scream her name.

"KIMBERLY NO!"

She looked and saw Jason running over.

"I'd love to daddy."

They both got into the car and drove off.

"NO!" Jason screamed
