CHAPTER 12

KIM'S POV

"KIM! I'M LEAVING!" Jamie yelled as the door slammed. I sighed. Finally!

Aunt Jamie was leaving for a 4 day business trip. I convinced her to go so that way I could have the house to myself. Debby wouldn't be checking up on me because she's out of town, visiting family. So I could finally get some alone time.

I jumped up from my bed & walked over to my hiding spot. I pulled out my diary & sat down with a pen on my window seat.

Dear Diary,

It's been a week since Jeremy died. This time, it's different.

When Mom & Dad died, I was depressed & alone. I wanted nothing to do with the world around me & I just wanted to drown myself in my grief. This time, it's completely different. I miss him like crazy & I wish he was here, but I'm not gonna get caught in that black hole again.

I'm happy. I realized if I do what I did last time, I'll be wasting my life. The life that Jeremy never got to live. So I'm doing him, my parents & my friends a favor by moving on.

I closed the book & put it back where it belongs. I looked out the window & saw Kate waving her hands like a crazy person. I laughed & gestured towards the side door. She nodded & I walked downstairs.

I opened the side door, in the kitchen & Kate walked in.

"How ya doing?" She asked, being really cheery.

"Good! You?" I asked.

"Great!" She said. "We need to have a chat!" She grabbed my hand & pulled my up to my room. She closed the door behind us as I sat down on my window seat. She took a seat on my bed, facing me & smiled.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Your feelings for Jack." Kate said. My eyes widened & I groaned.

"Why?" I said.

"You can't ignore it forever! Now spill!" Kate said.

"What do you wanna know?" I asked.

"The other day at the funeral, he came home like 2 hours later. He said he was with you. What happened?" She asked.

I sighed. "We went for a walk on the beach. I brought up the question 'What do you look for in a girl?' just to kinda take my mind off of the funeral."

"And..."

"He said 'She can't be oblivious but she doesn't have to be smart. She has to understand his sarcasm & not turn into a overly protective jealous girl'." I said, in my best Jack voice.

"Thats it?" Kate asked.

I continued to explain exactly what Jack said & Kate's eyes widened.

"KIM!" Kate yelled, scaring me.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"He described you!" Kate yelled. My eyes widened. 'He couldn't have. Could he?' I thought.

"I don't know what your talking about. Jack wasn't talking about me." I said as I stood up.

"Kim, trust me! I know my brother. He was talking about you." Kate said, crossing her arms. My eyes widened.

-FLASHBACK-

"You crazy, Brewer." I joked as we walked out of the Cemetery.

"I'm crazy? Your the one following a 'crazy' person, Crawford." He joked back.

"Does it make me crazy that I trust you?" I said. We stopped walking & he turned to face me.

"Not at all. Besides, I'd never lie to you." He said.

"I know that."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Kate, what if he was describing me?" I asked, getting nervous.

"Then I'm gonna go lecture him on how to ask you out!" Kate joked.

"Do you really think he likes me?" I asked.

"Kim, he'd be crazy not to. Your smart, your gorgeous, your funny & you make him happy." Kate said. "Trust me, he was describing you." I smiled.

KATE'S POV

I walked through my front door, & screamed to whoever was home that I was home. I walked to the kitchen & saw Nic & Ali coloring at the counter. I kissed the tops of their heads as Jack came into the kitchen.

"Hey. Where were you?" He asked as he walked to the fridge.

"Kim's. You never told me you took her to the beach!" I said. He grabbed a water bottle & gulped.

"Yeah. We went for a walk after the funeral. So?" He said as he took another sip from the bottle.

"What'd you talk about?" I asked.

"She asked me for what I looked for in a girl." He said.

I asked him to tell me what he said, even though I already knew. He explained what he said, & I nodded.

"Then what?" I asked.

"I asked her what she looks for in a guy." Jack said.

"What'd she say?" I asked excitedly.

"She said, 'He can't be stupid nor overly smart, can't be a wimp or a jerk, has to accept her for who she is, can't be shorter than her & His hair can't be past his shoulders..." Jack explained. My eyes widened.

"JACK!" I yelled.

"What?" He asked.

"SHE DESCRIBED YOU!" I yelled.

"Yeah. Okay. Kim doesn't like me." Jack said as he walked away. I followed him.

"Can't be stupid but doesn't have to be smart, Can't be a wimp or jerk. Has to accept her, can't have really long hair & can't be shorter than her." I listed. "Jack. That's you!" He bit his lip & then his eyes widened.

"You think?" he asked.

"I KNOW!" I exclaimed. "Jack, you have to make your move!"

"Kate-"

"Before it's to late, Jackson." I said. He cringed at his full name.

"Fine, Katherine." He said. I gasped & smacked him over the head. I hate my full name. It sounded too formal & I was DEFINITELY NOT A FORMAL GIRL!

Jack chuckled. "You really think Kim has a crush on me?" He asked.

"First of all, it's way past crush. Second, she'd be crazy not too. Your pretty smart, handsome, strong & you always make her laugh." I explained. Jack smiled.

"I'll think about it." He said.

"Well think fast!" I said. I turned & saw Alison smiling in the doorway.

"Is Kim the blonde one?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"She's pretty!" Alison said. "I like her!"

"Yeah, me too." Jack muttered, thinking no one heard him. But I did. I smiled to myself.

A/N: So sorry for not updating sooner. Things got hectic.

Also sorry this was short & kinda boring. This was literally just a filler chapter!

Here's a look at Chapter 13.

Kim grabbed the orange juice out of the fridge & then heard a noise outside. She put the carton on the counter & walked to the front door. She opened it wide & saw no one there. Her head turned to the mailbox & saw a pile of white envelopes & magazines. Kim grabbed them & brought them inside.

She threw the pile of bills on the counter & poured herself orange juice. She drank it as she sorted it out.

'Bill. Bill. Bill. Magazine. Bill. Magazine. Letter. Letter. Letter...' She thought.

Once it was all sorted, she put the bills on Jamie's desk. She grabbed the magazines & brought them to her room. Kim threw them down on her bed & one of them fell out of the pile & onto the ground. She knelt down & picked it up.

Kim's good mood immediately faded as she read the cover page.

Halloween Costume Shop.

Halloween was in a week. The magazine was subscribed to his name. She scanned the pages & felt a tear roll down her cheek.

-FLASHBACK- *2 WEEKS BEFORE HIS DEATH*

"Kimmie, I wanna show you something!" Jeremy called. Kim got off the couch & walked to the computer desk.

"What's up?" She asked as she stood behind the little boy scrolling through the internet.

"I'm picking out my halloween costume. Should I be a pirate, Captain America, or a cave man?" He asked. Kim laughed at his odd choices.

"A pirate, a superhero or a caveman? How about that one?" Kim asked pointing to the little lady bug costume.

"NO! That's for girls, Kim!" Jeremy said. Kim gasped.

"IT IS?" She asked. Kim started laughing as her brother smacked her arm."I'm kidding, buddy. You can be whatever you wanna be. That's the fun of halloween." Kim said.

"JEREMY! COME ON! WE GOTTA GO!" Jamie called from the front door. Jeremy sighed & got up from the desk.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Kim wiped the tear away & threw the magazine down on the bed. She walked over to her dresser & went to grab a tissue when she saw it.

The letter. The letter Jamie found addressed to her.

Kim hesitated before picking up the white envelope & opening it. She sat down on the ground, her head leaning on her bed.

She put the envelope on the floor & slowly opened the letter, with shaky hands.

A/N: That's it!

I will be trying to update a lot more because I want this story finished before I start school in September.

There are 7 more chapters remaining & I'll be complete.

But once school starts, I'm going to focus on that while continuing to write stories - but I won't be posting them until their finished.

I'm in the middle of writing two stories at the moment. One that I just started & one that i've been writing for a while now but I keep putting it off because I keep getting writers block.

The other I just started & I've already written 6 chapters. This one is my main priority. I got the idea after watching the Lab Rat's Bionic Showdown special with my little sister - & no, I'm not copying it. I started brain storming & before I knew it. I had a prologue written that I'm very proud of. I'm going to be putting everything i have into this story.

Well, that's it! I'm going to try & update this weekend, but If i don't, I'll post monday!

Love ya! :* 3
