A/N: I decided to update today since I had some free time from

all my school work and chizz. I agree with NaomiYY1232, my

last chapter was weird 3. But anyway, let's get on with it.

Chapter 21!

Jack's P.O.V.

I slowly walked over to Jezz but soon she yelled out.

"Wait! Jack wait!" I looked at her surprised.

"What? What happen?" I highly confused because I hadn't done anything

yet.

"I just remembered I have this private rehearsal with one of my coaches."

Kim looked at her disappointed.

"Oh, well that's okay I guess, we can do this some other time."

"No, no." Jezz said fanning Kim's idea away with her hand. "You guys

carry on." Then she turned to me. "Jack, I'll see you later at the studio

right?" she said looking directly into my eyes. Something clicked in the back

of my head.

She's lying. I shook my head to myself. She's a better actress than I

thought.

I looked back at her, then at Kim.

"Sure. I'll meet you there." Kim was sitting on the dock by this point,

swishing her feet in the water. She didn't see the connection Jezz and I just

had. Maybe for the best she hadn't.

I looked back at Jezz as she walked away in the opposite way of where Kim

was sitting. I walked over to Kim and plopped myself next to her. It was

quite, but not that comfortable silence we usually have, this one was pack

loaded with awkward. I purposely dunked my feet in the water and splashed

her just so she could get mad and yell, maybe even hit me. I didn't care; I

just needed to hear her voice.

"JACK! What the heck is the matter with you?" I laughed at her sudden

anger; the water I had splashed hit her right on her left cheek, right where I

aimed it. When she looked at me for an explanation I just shrugged.

"I was bored." She rolled her eyes and laughed.

"So, you were the one that planned this whole dare. Am I not right?" I

inquired, looking at Kim. She looked away from me, face red.

"Whaaaaaaat? Psshhh. Where did you get that crazy idea?" she said playing

with her hair, something she only does when she's nervous. I shrugged my

shoulders.

"Fine Kimberly, if you don't admit it you get no kiss." I said pointing to my

lips and sticking my tongue out at her. She scowled.

"Don't call me that." I nodded and smiled.

Messing with her was too much fun.

"Just answer the question Kim."

"What was the question again? I don't quite remember." She said cocking

here head to the side to really look confused. I looked at her and laughed

trying to keep a straight face.

"Come on Kim." I said nudging her shoulder. I kept doing this until she

couldn't take it anymore.

"Alright! Yes I did come up with the dare." I pumped my fist in the air for

victory.

"Well," I said after my triumph. "Since you made up the dare you need to

tell me what to do." Kim turned to look at me.

"You already know what to do, Jezz told you." I nodded.

"Yeah I know that, but I want you to say it to me." I said as I inched closer,

trying my best not to make it noticeable.

"You were, um, supposed to kiss us." She said quietly and slowly.

"Us?" I asked pushing her on.

"Me… I guess." She said with an asking tone.

"Are you asking or telling me?" I said raising an eyebrow. She took a deep

breath in and looked at water that lied before us. Then she back to me.

"Guess I'm telling you." She said with a hint of a smile.

"Cool," I said turning away. All of sudden, I became nervous. I'm stuck, I

had to kiss her, I want to kiss her, but what was stopping me. I wanted to

look her in the eye, but I turned around.

What's happening?

Without looking at her I asked, "Do you want me to?"

"Kiss me?" she asked clarifying. I nodded still not looking at her.

She took a while to answer; it was that awkward quite coming back to us.

She's obviously waiting for you to turn around… I forced my head to turn

back to her. Her eyebrows were buried together. I would have asked her

what was wrong if my arm didn't go around her waist first. It was as though

my body was totally disconnected from my brain. As I was contemplating, I

moved my face closer to hers. I looked at her lips then my eyes traced back

up to her own, she looked lost and nervous.

"Kim?" I had to whisper since I was so close to her face.

"Yeah?" I smiled.

"Just checking if your still there." She giggled.

I turned back to my own conflicts; my brain was disagreeing with me again

as my head pulled closer to Kim's.

What's wrong with me? I like her, I should be happy that I'm finally

kissing her.

While I was fighting inside myself, she smoothed the front of my hair back.

Our foreheads touched, and then our noses…my eyes closed…

There has to be a reason you don't want to kiss her… just one reason…

With this last thought, it all came rushing back to me.

My dad.

The plane ride.

Our first attempt at kissing.

Me pulling away from her.

My eyes fluttered open. I looked at Kim, her eyes were closed and I saw that

my hand was in her hair.

I hadn't even noticed I put it there. As she inched closer I panicked.

You can't kiss her. My brain warned my body.

But I can't just leave her like this. Again.

Kim was so close to my lips I could practically taste her.

But-

No.

I quickly got up, almost slipping in the process. Kim stumbled as she kissed

the air, where I was supposed to be. she turned around and looked at me

hurt, just like I knew she would. I couldn't stand seeing her hurt, and I didn't

want to be around her when I knew I was the one that put the pained look on

her face. So I did the only thing I could do.

I ran.

I knew I would pay for it later tonight, or tomorrow.

But I ran.

I wanted to look back, but I knew it would strike my heart with even more

pain.

So I didn't.
