Ok I'm so sorry it's like I completely dropped off of the face of the planet. I haven't updated in forever but I would like to thank everyone who messaged me and left reviews for me to update my story I give you permission to hate me. But anyway I put this one up just so ya know I'm still alive and so is this story.

"Hey Kim" Brett said running his fingers through his hair. He looked a mess. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked so tired like he hasn't been getting any sleep at all.

"Why are you here?" I demanded. He stepped forward closer to me but Jerry shoved him back and gave him a menacing glare.

"Leave" Jerry said through gritted teeth clenching his fist. Jack looked pissed too. I sighed and stepped in front of them. I want to know what Brett wanted to tell me.

"It's alright" I told them. I motioned for Brett to talk. He smiled.

"Can we just talk?" he asked. Should we? I mean with what we've been through I guess I can give him this much.

"Yeah" I said. Jack and Jerry stared at me in disbelief.

"What's going on here?" Grace asked. She saw Brett and a murderous glare flashed on her face.

"I'm just going to talk to Brett" I said calmly. Her eyes widened.

"Why would you do that? Don't waste your breath on him!" Grace said. I shook my head.

"I'll be fine" I said and walked out to the front porch. Brett followed me out.

"How are you?" he asked sitting beside me.

"Surprisingly better than I thought" I said. He nodded

"I'm sorry" he whispered. I turned to him and shook my head.

"That doesn't change anything" I said

"I know but I just wanted you to know" he said

"Is that all you came here to say? That you're sorry?" I asked. He shook his head and laughed without humor.

"That's not even half of it Kim. I know that sleeping with Donna was a mistake. It was a stupid mistake that I wished I could take back" he said.

"I can't believe you cheated on me. To tell you the truth we just weren't working out but it hurt that you cheated on me" I said a little angry. He nodded

"I'm an idiot okay. I took you for granted. I thought that maybe with whatever I did it'll be okay because I'll still have you around. But I know I lost you for good now" he said. I stared up at the sky.

"Kim I come here today to talk to you. I'm not going to ask or beg for you to take me back because I know it's impossible. I know that I lost my chance. Besides I know your heart belongs to another" he said. I froze

"What?" I asked

"I'm not stupid Kim. I know how you feel about Jack. I guess I cheated because I believed that you were going to leave me anyway and I had to move on. I know it's not an excuse but I did it anyways. Kim all I want is for us to be okay. We don't even have to be friends. I just want you to forgive me. Maybe not today or tomorrow but please don't hate me forever. I wouldn't be able to live with that" he said his face full of desperation. I smiled.

"I'll forgive you one day Brett I promise" I said. It was true. I would forgive him one day. It might take awhile but it would happen. He smiled

"That's all I ask for Kim. Will you do me one last favor?" he asked. I nodded

"Sure" I said

"Tell Jack how you feel. I wouldn't want him to miss out on someone as great as you. And make sure you let him know he's one hell of a lucky guy" he said. I smiled and hugged him.

"Bye Brett" I whispered. He stood up and went to his car and drove away. I went back into the house in tears. Happy tears.

"Did that ass hurt you?" Jerry asked. I wiped away my tears and shook my head.

"He hurt no one but himself" I said. Jerry gave me a confused look. I smiled and headed upstairs. On the way I say Jack. He gave me a short hug but that hug meant everything. It made me make the decision that I would tell Jack how I felt before this summer ended. I needed to. Brett may have ruined this summer but he also may have just made it better.

I was sitting on the couch. It was nice outside but I seriously couldn't be bothered in moving up from my very comfortable position. I was just too tired from all the event that has happened recently. My eyes drifted off and before I could completely fall asleep I felt someone grasp my arm and yank me into standing position. I groaned and opened my eyes.

"Jerry what do you want?" I asked. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Don't be such a lazy bum. Get up its like 2 in the afternoon" he said. I sighed and went up to my room and lay on the bed closing my eyes. A few seconds later I hear Jerry screaming at the top of his lungs. Is that boy mental?

"What now?" I demanded totally agitated. He smiled innocently at me.

"Get up Kim. Don't lay there all the time it'll become a habit" he said. I stuck my tongue at him and stood up. I grabbed a T- shirt and jeans to change into and went downstairs resting my head on the kitchen counter.

"What are you adamant about me getting out of the house?" I asked. He grinned sheepishly.

"I have company" he said. I rolled my eyes. Man him and Mika were moving fast! I bet Grace is heartbroken. Speaking of Grace where is she?

"Where's Grace?" I asked. He laughed.

"You're a wonderful friend Kim. You neglected her so she and Jack went out to buy some stuff" Jerry answered. At the mere thought of Jack spending time with another girl sent waves of jealously through my body. Which was completely silly? I shouldn't care who he hangs out with. Besides it's just Grace. She knows I have a crush on Jack.

"Well I was just getting a day off that's all. I deserve that" I said frowning. He nodded.

"You okay?" he asked. I nodded

"I'm fine" I said

"You sure because the offer still stands. I'll beat the crap out of him" Jerry said looking deadly serious. I laughed

"Thanks big brother. But I think I'll be fine. I'm heading on my way to forgiving him and I don't want you to kill him" I said

"I can't believe you would even think of forgiving that cheat" Jerry said shaking his head. I laughed

"Yeah that's just the type of person I am" I said

"Hey you'll meet someone this summer" he said. I smiled. I already did. Want me to introduce him to you? His name is Jackson Brewer by the way. Oh wait that's your best friend. What a coincidence! Yeah I don't think so.

"Yeah like you and Mika?" I asked looking amused. He blushed slightly. Wow who knew my brother could ever blush. I still feel bad about Grace though.

"I like Mika she's great and totally doesn't act the way she looks" he said. I smiled She's really nice.

"I like her too but are you really serious?" I asked. He shrugged

"It's summer Kim. I'm having fun" he said

"Just don't hurt the girl. She looks pretty tough and I want to have nieces and nephews in the future" I said. He smiled

"I'm not going to let a girl beat me up" he said

"Sure Jerry" I said. He laughed

"Whatever little sis. Now get ready and get out of the house. Everyone's making sure they're scarce when she comes so I want to be sure you will do the same" he said looking at me sternly.

"Yes mother I promise I will be gone for your little date" I said

"It's not really a date" he said slowly

"Alright what would you call it? Educate me" I said pretending to look interested.

"More of a get together. I'm just trying to find out more about her" he said. I smiled

"It's a date" I said

"Yeah I guess" he admitted. I laughed and went back up to my room. I grabbed my bag and was getting ready to head out.

"I'm out peace!" I said heading towards the door

"Where are you going?" Jerry asked

"Wherever the wind takes me" I said and shut the door behind me.

"Kim!" I turned and saw Grace waving frantically waving at me from inside the car with Jack. I smiled and ran over.

"Hey" I said

"What are you doing?" she asked

"Oh you know just planning to rob a house" I said. She laughed

"Come on girly get in the car" she said. I nodded and slipped into the backseat

"You could sit up here" Grace offered. I shook my head

Jack parked the car. We were at a beach. It was kind of empty

"Um no way. I have nothing to swim in" I said frowning

"Come on we'll have clothes to change into" Grace said stripping off her clothes leaving her only in her underwear. No way!

"No!" I said my eyes widening. Jack looked amused as he took off his shirt and pants leaving him in his boxers. God his muscles were mouthwatering!

"Come on Kim" Grace said pulling me towards the water. I shook my head and held my ground. Suddenly I felt myself being lifted and thrown over someone's shoulder

"Jack put me down. NOW!" I screamed. Jack chuckled and threw me in the water. I landed with a big splash and resurfaced coughing up water. It was freezing!

"Jerks!" I chattered. They both laughed and got in the water. We swam for awhile before heading back home. By that time Jerry was done with his date with Mika.

"It was fun" he said when I asked him about it. Grace looked pained but she just looked away.

"Awesome" I said my teeth chattering. I'm so going to get a cold now! I went up to my room and took a nice warm shower and then changed into sweats.

"I'm going to go to sleep now" Grace said. I nodded and went downstairs. Jack was watching T.V. I went over to him and sat down. He automatically wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I savored the nice warmth it brought me.

I tried to keep my eyes open but they seriously refused and I leaned on Jack's shoulders drifting off to sleep. Before I did Jack kissed me softly on the forehead.

"Sweet dreams Kim" he murmured
