Happy Halloween Everyone! And happy Thursday as well. Hope you all have a sweet day, enjoy the chapter.

The week went by well as Kim never missed a beat. She was still the same Kim and maybe even the Kim before everything happened and both Grace and Kim knew it was a good change and one that they missed.

The following weekend rolled around as Kim and Grace drove to the house to start packing everything up. Before they knocked on the door Kim whispered to Grace, "Be nice".

Grace was shocked and joked back, "I am always nice".

They both laughed as Kim rang the doorbell. Seconds later Brody opened the door and smiled at the two, giving them both hugs which Grace accepted as she noticed Brody wasn't the same. He was happier and honestly Grace was happy for him.

They had been working for a few hours as thing were moving along but Brody wanted a little more 'man power' so he joked with Grace, "Hey Grace, if your boyfriend isn't busy have him stop by".

Grace instantly stopped what she was doing and so did Kim as Grace looked between Brody and Kim and a smiled crept on her face as well as Brody's but Kim had no emotion. Grace knew Kim didn't want Jerry around for the sole reason of Jack as Grace remembered their conversation a few months ago when it all started.

Flashback: Kim had just come back from talking with Brody and was now telling Grace everything as Grace had become so supportive through it all and the last words Kim said so clearly were, "No matter what, do not tell Jerry anything".

At that point Grace agreed knowing she needed to do this for Kim, but a few days later when she met up with jerry, he seemed sad and distracted and with her being the good girlfriend she was asked what was wrong and what she heard kind of surprised her. Jerry said that 'Jack was sad about Kim and throwing himself into work so he would be busier and not think about her. That Jack has also been becoming distant and that this has never happened before and it's stressing him out too'.

Grace felt bad for Jerry and without thinking she said, "Kim is the same way but she is also separated at the moment" and as soon as the words came out her hands flew up to cover her mouth, now feeling bad. Jerry noticed and promised not to tell Jack but also said that 'this was good. That they could maybe get together and that they could also keep tabs on track and Kim and report back to each other with information'.

Grace nodded excitedly and from then on they have had weekly meetings about friends.

End flashback

Grace and Kim were having a conversation about Jerry with their eyes. Kim begging Grace not to call him but Grace told her that it's not that big of a problem and she hadn't seen Jerry in weeks. After minutes of going back-and-forth Kim finally gave in as Grace squealed with happiness

30 minutes later Jerry showed up and was ready to work. Jerry and Brody did the guy hug as there were no weird feeling since neither of them knew each other and Jerry was so happy to see Kim. "Hey Kim," Jerry said hugging Kim.

"Hey Jerry. How are you?" Kim asked back, actually happy to see him too.

"I've been good. Busy as usual but now that I got Grace, I have learned to manage time a little bit better. Oh and Kaylie says hi and that she misses you," Jerry said with a smile.

Kim laughed and said, "Well I'm glad to hear you are doing well and yeah Grace is always in teacher mode. We have learned it's a little hard to control it considering we are on it all the time. And Kaylie is the sweetest. Tell her hi back and that I miss her too,"

Jerry smiled and added, "Haha, that's exactly what Grace said about your teacher mode. You two really are best friends and I will definitely tell Kaylie. It will make her day. So what do you need me to do?"

Kim scanned the house and said, "There is probably some furniture that I'm taking with me so look for anything with purple post its and then you can take it apart".

"Sure thing," Jerry said walking off to start.

Hours later mostly everything was done and Kim and Grace's car were packed. Kim had a few last things to discuss with Brody as Jerry in Grace just hung out.

Once things were squared away everyone said their goodbyes as Kim and Brody said what should be one of their last goodbyes. They embrace each other with many emotions from sadness, to hope, to happiness, to forgiveness, to freedom. They knew after this they would have the life they always hoped for. Grace and Brody hugged as they both wished each other good luck and to take care. Jerry and Brody nodded to each other as everyone grabbed their things and started to leave. Once the girls were outside Brody grabbed Jerry's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Take care of them", signaling to Kim and Grace.

Jerry smiled and replied, "Of course. You take care too. And best of luck".

"Thanks man", Brody said as Jerry walked away.

With one final wave everyone left with a new feeling and outlook on life.

Once they returned home, Grace and Kim unpacked all the necessary things as Kim knew tomorrow was a new day and with a new day comes a new attitude. She was going to sort through everything and decided what she needed and wanted because after tonight Kim was chancing back form Carlson to Crawford, even if the papers say otherwise.

The following morning Kim kept her word and went through all of her belongings. She ended up keeping most things but it felt good to get rid of some other things because she was starting over. And sometimes that means letting go of the old and comfortable and welcoming the new and unknown.

So there you have it. I know it might seem like things are a little slow and I apologize for that but I just want you all to know that it's coming towards the end. I have maybe 9 or so more chapters so everything is kind of starting to fall into place but trust me, there will be a few little things happening soon. Please R&R and let me know what you think.

So please, let's try and get 150 reviews for the next chapter that will most likely be posted tomorrow.

Thanks and until next time,
