Kim POV

The next morning I woke up, and instantly remembered the day before. Jack and I had sex. And it was perfect. I wasn't a virgin. I lost my virginity to Carson. I know I was young but I thought I loved him. And he would always pressure me to do it. Physically pressure me. It was a mistake. I realised that straight after we had done it. But I don't feel that with Jack right now.

I got up and changed into a white loose crop top, black draped waistcoat, black skinny jeans, small black wedge boots, and a white lock and key necklace. I put my hair into a messy bun and did my usual make-up. I left my room and looked around. No Ashton. Good. I'm going to try and avoid Ashton because every time I speak to him he just says bad things about Jack. And I don't want to hear anything bad about Jack. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed a bowl, a spoon and some cereal. I was midday through pouring my milk in the bowl when I heard footsteps coming downstairs. In a panic I put the mil down and hid under the table. I saw feet enter the kitchen. Boy's feet.

"Kim? I know you're here, you've left the milk" the voice said. But it wasn't Ash it was only Arthur.

"Sorry. I'm just avoiding Ash at the moment" I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"Every time I talk to him he just says bad things about Jack. And I don't ever want to hear anything bad about Jack" I said. He nodded.

"Kim I know you and Jack love each other but Ashton is your brother. There must be a good reason why he would say anything like that" Arthur said.

"I guess you're right. I just wish he would talk to me normally instead of insulting Jack" I said whilst sighing.

"Maybe you should talk to him" Arthur suggested. I nodded.

"I think I will" I said. Arthur pointed behind me at the half-made cereal.

"I'll be back for that" I said and ran upstairs. I stood outside of Ash's room and prepared myself. I then knocked.

"Who is it?" Ash's voice called from inside the room.

"Kim" I called. I heard someone approach the door.

"Are you hear to yell at me?" he asked.

"Are you going to say something bad about Jack?" I retorted.

"No. Come in" he muttered. I walked in and sat on the bed.

"Ash are you mad at me?" I asked. He shook his head.

"I'm not mad at you. I'm just" he stopped.

"Just what?" I urged.

"I'm worried for you. The last time you liked a boy he ended up beating you. And you didn't tell me. How am I supposed to know that Jack isn't doing anything to you?" he said. I stared at him shocked. So he wasn't being an ass to me, just a protective big brother.

"I understand Ash. But Jack is nothing like Carson. Trust me" I said.

"I'm never going to be happy with you having a boyfriend. No one is good enough for you baby sister I keep thinking you will leave and forget about your big brother" he said affectionately. I hugged him.

"I will never leave you Ash. I may love Jack but you always come first" I said.

"I love you baby sis" he said.

"I love you two big bro" I said.

"So are we cool?" I asked. He nodded.

"I'm gonna go" I said. But Ash grabbed my wrist gently.

"Kim, why were you and Jack back so late last night?" he asked.

"It's nothing" I said controlling my blush.

"He's not hurting you?" Ash asked.

"It's nothing like that. Just trust me" I said and left.

I ran downstairs and quickly ate my cereal. Then I left the house. I ran to the main building and walked through the halls. I then realised that classes were on. I could see everyone looking at teacher's avidly learning. I wondered if Jack was in any of these classes. I walked past a few more until I came past one that made me stop. I saw Grace and Jerry sitting and learning. Jerry saw me and started waving. I gave a small wave back. The teacher turned and saw me.

"Can I help you?" he asked He looked around 50 and not a happy person.

"No. Sorry for interrupting" I said.

"Just leave Miss" he said indicating for me to say my last name.

"Crawford. Kim Crawford" I said. He looked taken aback at my name.

"Sorry Miss Crawford. I didn't mean to be so rude. If I had known it was you then-"

"It's fine, I shouldn't have interrupted" I said and hurried off.

"Why did his mood change so suddenly at my name?" I thought. I walked to the infirmary to see Jack. I headed to his room but it was empty.

"Excuse me?" I asked one of the nurses.

"Yes?" she replied.

"Where is the boy in this room? His name is Jack Brewer" I said. She looked through the papers on her clipboard.

"Jack Brewer left the infirmary yesterday. He has returned to his classes, except for physical of course" she said whilst smiling.

"Thank you" I muttered and left. I didn't realise Jack would be back to classes so soon. I figured that he would be staying in the infirmary for another week or so to fully heal his bullet wound. I walked out of the building and back to my bedroom to write in my diary.

Dear Diary,

I know I haven't written in days but I have been spending every moment I have had free with Jack. I just can't stand being away from him. I love him.

We had sex last night. It was perfect. Jack planned the perfect date by setting up a table with chairs, an a picnic basket on the beach. I couldn't have been happier. Jack has returned back to classes now so I will probably be spending more time with Ash and Arthur. Ash and I are fine now. He was just being protective.

I feel at home here now. Everything is perfect and this is my family now. We have decided to leave my Dad in his prison until he signs the contract, which Ash and I were fine with. He isn't my father anymore. He is a monster. Hopefully one day he might try to redeem himself. But for now he is safely locked away.

So for once in my life everything is good (I hope I didn't just jinx it)No one is ill, or dying. I have a happy family, good friends and a perfect boyfriend. And I hope everything stays that way.

Love From Kim

I put my diary back under my pillow and all of a sudden a wave of nausea washed over me. I ran to the bathroom and just in time threw up into the toilet.

It was disgusting. It's weird. I've only eaten cereal today so let's just hope I'm not getting ill.
