Chapter 12:

Hey everybody, here's Chapter 12 hope you enjoy! And yes I know this song did not come out 4 years ago, but just pretend okay?:) Thanks! Review please.

~Kim's Pov~

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go."

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone."

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

I gasped as tears threatened to fall. This was our song. Safe and Sound by Taylow Swift. It became our song 4 years ago. I had gone with Jack to Florida to visit some family he had there. It was right after a few of his cousins began to make fun of me. They made fun of the fact that I was a girl (Because they were all boys.) They called me little orphan Annie. I had run out of that house crying. I had ran and ended up getting lost. I came upon a beautiful lake. Across the lake a party was going on and the music was so loud, that you could hear every word crystal clear. This song was playing when Jack found me. He apologized profusely for his cousins behavior. Then he took my hand, and pulled me tight, as this song continued to play.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Jack told me that this song fit us perfectly. He told me he would always be there, to protect me, to hold me, and to do stupid stuff with me. Jack promised me he would never leave, and so it became the start or a life long friendship. Or so I thought.

Don't you dare look out your window, darling

Everthing's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

Gone

Every school dance when they would play this song, all the other kids would clear the floor and it would be our time. Jack would hold out his hand, and I would take it, and we would dance in our own little world.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

I looked over at Jack wondering if he would honor our tradition, but of course it was silly of me to think he would. My eyes filled up with tears as Jerry approached me, worry written all over his face. He had seen what I had seen, and he knew how much it hurt me. Jack had taken Donna by the hand, and together they danced to the song that was meant to be ours. That was the breaking point for me.

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

La La (La La)

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

The tears began to fall of their own accord, as suddenly it became hard to breathe. Jerry was trying to say something to me, but I couldn't hear him. Jack looked up at me, and watched as I drowned in a sea full of hurt. I took the necklace off that he gave me and handed it to Jerry.

"I can't do this anymore." I whirled around and ran out of there. I heard someone call my name, it sounded a lot like Jack. I shook my head and headed home. I should've never come.

~Jerry's Pov~

I somehow knew this would happen. I knew he would end up hurtung her again. She handed me the necklace that Jack gave her and left. I walked over to Jack, who was standing there looking a bit lost. Donna was trying to get his attention, but he was staring after Kim with a pained look on his face.

I was mad. I was mad at him for being such a dick. I knew he had watched as Kim took off the necklace, so I dropped it in his hand. "I hope your happy." I stalked away with Grace in tow.

~Jack's Pov~

I looked down at the necklace in my hand. It was hers, and she had took it off. I didn't know what to say, what to do. What could I do? I had single handedly ruined our friendship. How was I supposed to fix this? The tears rolling down her face kept replaying in my mind. I hadn't meant to make her cry, but I'm dating Donna. I have to stick with Donna. Don't I?

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

~Kim's Pov~

When I got home, my mother tried to bombard me with questions. But once she noticed the tears running down my face, she let it go. I think she understood. This was crazy! I was crying too much lately. What happened to the fierce blond with the hot bestfriend? Oh yeah that's right, that ended weeks ago. I hid away in my room. I took off the dress and the makeup, and climbed in the shower. I wanted to wash the remains of today off of me. After I was done, I grabbed my ipod. I scrolled down till I hit our song. I put it on repeat, climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.

~1 hour later~

I awoke. Fear flashed through me like a tornado on steroids. It was only a nightmare. Just a nightmare. I put my hand to my mouth as a sob escaped. I almost lost him. I almost lost him.

I stayed up the rest of the night, afraid to sleep again. I didn't want to.

~3 days later (Monday morning)~

~Jack's Pov~

Donna had rushed off this morning in quite a hurry. She said she had to discuss some homework with the teacher. It sounded suspicious, but I let it go, considering I had a lot on my mind. I had 10 minutes before class started. I walked around aimlessly as I thought about Kim. Beautiful Kim, our song, the necklace. I don't even know why I'm feeling this way, considering what she did to me. My eyes began to focus as I came back to reality, and what I saw made me furious. My girlfriend, and Brady Stockholm, dry humping and sucking each others faces off in the abandoned hallway.

"Seeing a teacher about homework huh?" I spit out. They jumped apart, embarrased at being caught, and then Donna realized it was me.

"Omg, this isn't what it looks like."

A bitter laugh escaped. "Donna are you really going to attempt to lie to me right now?"

"Jack, baby, I love you. I'm soo sorry."

I turned to leave, tired of listening to her voice.

"Jack please don't go." She pleaded with me.

I sighed and shook my head. "It's over between us. We're done."

Suddenly Donna's voice grew cold, "You gonna go run back to that little bitch now? You think she's better than me?"

Now my mom had brought me up to never hit a women, but right then, it took everything in me not to sock her in the face. "You're right, ever since I've been with you, I've treated her like shit. It's time I apologize like I should've done a long time ago. I hope she will forgive me, if she doesn't, I won't stop trying. Kim has always been better than you, will continue to be better than you. I don't know what I was thinking, making a mistake like you."

"Jack!" I watched as Donna stomped her foot in frustration. Smiling triumphantly, I turned and made my way to class.

In all honesty I felt relieved. Relieved that I wouldn't have to put up with her anymore. At that moment, I also realized that Kim must have been right. She really had seen Donna and Brady together. "Oh God." How was I gonna fix this? How am I going to fix what I did to her? I should have believed her. I should have listened.

~Kim's Pov~

I hadn't slept, I haven't eaten, but I was back in school. I put on makeup to cover the bags under my eyes. I couldn't let anyone know how I felt. I just have to continue to be that girl that everyone knows, that happy upbeat, not a care in the world girl. I walk to class with Jerry and Grace. They are now officially a couple. I'm happy for them, I mean Jerry finally got that girl he's been waiting for, and it's about time he got a girlfriend.

We walk into class and find our seats. Grace sits on one side of me as Jerry flanks the other, they're trying to shield me from Jack. He hasn't shot me a mean look yet.

Halfway through the class, the teacher asked us to stand up and move around the room to get our energy flowing after sitting for soo long. I stood up and began to walk around the room. At first I was feeling fine. Then I felt dizzy. The room started to spin and everything was a blur. The only thing I heard was Jack shouting my name, worry laced in his voice.

~Jack's Pov~

We were halfway through class when it happened. We were walking around the room when I noticed Kim stopped. I could immediately tell something was wrong. I called her name as I made my way over there just as she collapsed, I caught her just in time.

I picked her up, and she was much to light. I wondered when the last time she ate was. The teacher gave me the okay to carry her down to t-he nurse's office.

On the way down Kim awoke. She immediately went stiff when she realized I was carrying her.

"Put me down, I can walk."

"No." I replied, and gripped her tighter.

"Jack put me down!"

"Kimmy, your not well."

She froze when I said that.

In an icy cold voice she said, "Don't call me that." She twisted out of my arms, and landed on her butt. I reached out a hand to help her up, but she refused. "Kim I—" She didn't give me a chance to finish. She turned and started walking to the nurse's office, so I followed.

Sorry for switching Pov's so much! I hope you guys didn't mind. I was conflicted with myself. Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter:)
