I want to make note of it right now: This story has worked out so much better than I ever expected! I want to thank everyone who has favorited me I would not be here if it weren't for you. I would probably have given up on my story, but on the first day, I received 141 views. My mind was blown! I never expected that many views, maybe 20 but 141! Ok, I'm probably overreacting, but this was just… Thank you all so so so so much!

A month had passed. Kim was still with Jerry, pretending to have feelings she really didn't. Jack was off back at home. Dating Emma Dawson. Kim hadn't seen Jack, and he hadn't come looking for her. Jerry was loving Kim more by the minute, and Kim was hating Jerry more by the minute. Kim knew that she had to fix this mess she had made. This was much worse than any physical torture. She had to talk to Jack, but Jerry wouldn't let her leave his side. Until one certain Thursday afternoon.

"Kim. I am tired of your outfits. Here is $500. Go buy what ever you want."

"Really?"

"There is a black car parked out back. You can take it when you go shopping. There is a driver ready for you."

"Your not coming?"

"No."

"Wait, who is going to help me pick out skirts?"

"Oh. You want someone?"

"Umm… Actually on second thought, Nah… I can pick out skirts myself."

Jerry smiled and said, "Ok… Kim" he sighed looking mesmerized in Kim's beauty.

Kim pecked him on the check while inwardly shuddering. "I'll miss you baby!"

She smiled and walked to the car with her purse and $500. She knew that she couldn't leave the mall, but Emma Dawson loved shopping for smorking labbits (see ) and her collection was the biggest in Seaford. All she had to do is hope Emma was at a snorkin labbits cart with Jack. When Kim got to the mall, she immediately went to the cart. She wasn't there, but she bought an adorable light blue labbit with a stache. She went to the stores near by but never saw Emma, but when she was walking to a jewelry kiosk, she saw some black hair. And not just any hair. Jack's hair. She ran up to him and said, "Jack!"

Jack turned around but wasn't too happy. "What do you want Kim?"

Kim was taken aback. "But… Jack?"

"You left me for a skunk bag."

"Jack can we talk some where private."

"Let me pay for this."

After Jack had paid for the necklace, he followed Kim to a quiet corner of the mall.

"Jack, listen. I did what I had to. To save my sorry butt. I just came to apologize. Jerry is trying to get some rare mineral like Mintez or something…"

Jack cut her off, "Your necklace!"

"Here." She handed the stone. "I'm sorry. What I did was… well… I deserve anything you do to me."

Kim was about to turn and leave when Jack pulled her closer. "Kim. Its ok. You panicked. You otherwise would have been tortured. Kim. If I had to make a decision, I would have you do that."

"But what would you have done?"

"I would have them torture me. I would never let you get hurt."

"Exactly. Jack just let me…"

She was cut off as Jack kissed her. She was startled, and Jack was going to let go of her, but she brought her head forward, kissing him back. Jack leaned in. When they pulled away, Jack said, "I've been waiting for this for a month."

"But Jack, what do I do about Jerry? He'll torture you! We'll have to meet in secret."

"I'll think of something."

Kim smiled at Jack, just as he pulled out his phone and she heard him say, "Emma… I think we are drifting apart."
