Here's the new chapter! Thank you all for reading!

A million thoughts ran through Tommy's mind at once. "Kimberly and Adam? When? Why? How?" He narrowed his eyes at them across the table. "Was he the guy? No, she just said she wasn't with him anymore. Why didn't they tell me?" He threw a sideways glance at his other friends in the living room. They were oblivious to what was going on in the kitchen, just sitting around laughing and eating pizza. "Why didn't any of them tell me? Jason? Wait...Jason lives...they even live together? I wonder...so they all knew and didn't tell me? That's why they've been pretty much avoiding me since I got here? I come here and I must look like a complete idiot. Zack...I wonder if he knows, too. I bet he does. They all seem to have remained close. Why didn't they call me ever? Maybe I wanted to hang out sometime, too. Maybe I didn't want to be forgotten or whatever."

"Tommy?" Kim's voice echoed in his mind, shaking Tommy from his thoughts. "Say something."

Tommy looked at Adam and Kim, who were still holding hands in front of him. He furrowed his brow and opened and closed his mouth a few times. "Uh..."

"Tommy, we're sorry we didn't tell you sooner," Adam said. "We...we didn't know how to tell you. We..." Adam trailed off, knowing that he wasn't helping things. He wasn't sure if Tommy was angry, hurt, or maybe both.

"Um..." Tommy looked between Adam and Kim. "Um...I just...I...have to get my thoughts together." He stood up and left the kitchen, lightly closing the front door as he left.

Jason looked up, hearing the front door open and close. He saw Tommy walk out with a very confused look on his face. Jason immediately stood up and ran over to the kitchen, with a questioning look on his face.

"We told him about us," Kim replied to Jason's unanswered question.

Jason nodded. "Right. Okay." He looked over at Zack and nodded for him to come with him. "I'll be back." The two of them headed out the door, bringing along their sweaters.

"Tommy!" Zack called, seeing him a little ahead of him and Jason. "Wait up!"

Tommy turned at the sound of his voice and saw Zack and Jason. "You guys knew, too, didn't you?"

Jason and Zack looked at each other and nodded. "Yeah, we knew," Jason answered.

"He was the first one to find out," Zack said, pointing to Jason.

Jason elbowed him and gave him a look. He turned back to Tommy. "So, you okay, man?"

Tommy shrugged, shaking his hands out. "I don't really know what to think. All of you guys knew and didn't tell me?"

"It wasn't our news to tell."

"A little heads up would've been nice, Jason. Or are you too buddy-buddy with Adam to remember that we're best friends?"

Jason glanced at Zack, who raised his eyebrows at him. Zack took a step back and gestured for Jason to talk to Tommy with a little bit of privacy. He didn't stray too far, though, trying to eavesdrop on what he could listen in on, even though he knew Jason would tell him what they talked about.

"Tommy, we are friends. Best friends, even. You're like a brother to me. But so is Adam. In a different way." He moved next to Tommy and put his hand on his shoulder. "A lot of things have happened. And maybe we should've kept you in the loop. Maybe we should've done a lot of things differently."

"You should've told me, Jase. Give me a little warning that my ex-girlfriend is dating one of my old friends."

"He's one of your best friends, too, right? Wasn't he second-in-command when you guys had the Turbo powers?"

"Exactly. I didn't realize that the guy who I trusted with my life was going to swoop in and steal my girl."

"She's not your 'girl', Tommy. She broke up with you a long time ago. And...I know the two of you haven't spoken since...that time when she and I went back and we were captured by Divatox, wasn't it? Right when you guys received the Turbo powers. And Adam...he didn't steal her from her. It wasn't like he was plotting from the time you guys all met in the park to the time you guys gave up your powers to 'steal' Kim from you. If anything, the two of them were fighting their feelings for each other as long as they could."

Tommy raised his hands in annoyance. "I don't want to hear about the two of them. Look, thanks for coming out, but I'll go and get my stuff and stay in a motel or something. At least until Kat and Tanya get here. You know, my other ex-girlfriend."

Jason rolled his eyes. "Don't leave, Tommy. And don't throw around you and Kat or whatever. You started dating her after Kim broke up with you, so you obviously got over Kim. Look, what's done is done. Don't be petty about it."

"Well, you! You let them live together? Isn't Kim supposed to be your 'little sister'? How can you let her live with her boyfriend?"

"Uh, Tommy. I live with them. Besides, again, so much has happened that-"

"You keep talking about how 'so much has happened'? What the hell has happened that you're all tiptoeing around it?"

"It's not up to me to tell you, Tommy."

"It's not up to you to tell me. Is that just your answer for everything?" Tommy scoffed. "Is he who she broke up with me for? Did she lie about the whole 'brother' thing and he knew about it? Is that why he was the one who had the letter? They were in on it from the beginning."

"Look, you're obviously driven by your emotions right now. I don't want you to leave and I know none of them want you to leave, either. Including Adam and Kim. But if you're really uncomfortable about this, then okay. You can go. I won't stop you. But I won't have you blame either of them for...whatever. They're not doing anything wrong. Sure, it is pretty messed up that your best friend is dating your ex-girlfriend. But not if you've seen them the past couple of years. They really...he's really helped her out. And she's really brought out a change in him. I know you don't want to hear it, but...they really do bring out the best in each other. I'm sorry you're hurting right now. I'm sorry that it was just thrown at you with no warning. But they are still your friends. At least, they want to be. We all want to be. It's been a long time since we've all been together. And we can't keep bringing up things that don't really matter in the long run. We all just lost someone that we love. Someone who's been a teacher, mentor, father, even. Can't you just put your anger away for a bit?"

"Why didn't anybody say anything?"

"It wasn't our place to tell!"

"Whatever, man. Look, I need to go for a drive."

"All right. You want me to come with?"

Tommy shook his head. "No. I just need some time right now."

"Okay."

Tommy turned from Jason and unlocked his car. He opened the door and jumped it, scrambling to put his keys in the ignition. He turned the car on and started to back out of his spot, not bothering to put his seat belt on. He nodded to Jason and Zack and sped out of the parking lot.

As he sped down the streets, he couldn't get the picture of Adam and Kim holding hands out of his mind. He thought back to high school, trying to remember if there were any hints of the two of them back then. "Adam and Kimberly. Kimberly and Adam." He remembered a picture that he recently found when he was cleaning out his room. It was of Adam and Kim, ironically. When he found the picture, he missed them terribly. He wished that he had stayed in contact and even had a little thought of him and Kimberly getting back together. He thought that Adam would have moved down to LA and continue on with his stunts down there and figured that Kim was probably taking over the international gymnastics world. He never imagined that they would be living together, dating each other.

Tommy shook his head as he stepped on the gas more. He looked down at the speedometer, watching the little needle move from 70, up to 75, to 80. "And all those times I talked to Jason...he never thought to tell me?" At this point, Tommy wasn't even sure who he was angry at anymore. Okay, he didn't stay in contact with Adam and Kim and if whatever happened was as bad as Jason makes it seem, then whatever. But why didn't Jason say a word to him? Why didn't he even tell him that he was living with them?

He was hurt. Tommy was hurt that Adam and Kim had found each other and that none of them said anything. He was hurt that Jason seemed to be closer to Adam. He was hurt that all of them stayed in touch with each other and never thought to contact him. Maybe things would've been different. Maybe he and Jason would be the best of friends living together. Maybe he and Kim would have gotten back together. "And Adam could have run off with Tanya, for all I care."

Tommy rolled his eyes and he stepped on the gas even more. It went from 80, to 85, up to 90. He pressed the gas harder, enjoying the sight of the needle hovering between 115 and 120. Tommy laughed out and closed his eyes for a quick second.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a sudden curve and stepped on the brakes, turning the wheel as fast as he could. Everything that he had learned from racing flew out of his head and his mind went completely blank. He felt as if he were flying, but somehow stopped to a screeching halt and the smell of burnt rubber filled his nostrils even though his windows were all closed. Lights flashed all around him. Tommy's head had begun to throb and he groaned, bringing his hand to his head.

Tommy closed his eyes.
