Disclaimer : General, I don't own a thing other than the story and the plot.

A/N : This will be from Trini's point of view…oh, and as to what happened to Kim, you'll all find out the same time that the rest of the Rangers do…unless you bug me enough then I might let you all know sooner.

THE POWER RANGERS IN :

THE HARDEST THING I EVER DID

Chapter 2

I can see the dread in her eyes, she's terrified of what I'm going to say, I thought as Jason and I led Kim toward the baggage claim. It's nothing bad, at least not bad the way she's probably thinking…if only she'd open up to us and tell us what happened down in Florida. Was there actually another guy? I wouldn't hold it against her, I mean she was so far from home and Tommy was so far away…I don't agree with it if she did…but still…

"Is this all of it?" Jason was just saying. I turned my attention back towards them, I'd have a lot more time to think this over. Kim would be staying at our place for an undeterminable amount of time…I'll have quite a while to try and get out of her what happened.

"Yeah, that's all." Kim had just answered. She's never kept secrets from me before…it must've been something major. Maybe there was another guy…would Kim really do that to Tommy? She was so in love with him…I just don't think it's possible.

She turned her chocolate eyes toward me, "Trini, there was something about Kat and Tommy you wanted to tell me…" her voice trailed off. She's petrified of what I'm going to say, I realized.

"Yeah," I started to answer. "He and Kat broke up a while ago. If you had made it to the wedding you would've known that." I said pointedly, I know she had her reasons for not showing, but it still stung. I always thought we'd make it to each other's wedding. I still can't get a straight answer as to why she couldn't make it…

She suddenly wore a look like someone had slapped her, I felt sorry then for my words. "I already told you Trini I couldn't make it because something very important came up…you know if it hadn't been so important I would've been there." her voice was quiet and low.

I felt really bad for bring it up and the disapproving look I was getting from Jase didn't help any. "I know Kim," I said softly. "I just really wanted my best friend at my wedding, that's all."

"Everyone else made it, didn't they?" she asked. I knew what the hidden question was there. 'Did Tommy take a date with him?' She's still too stubborn to actually ask what's on her mind.

"Yeah, everyone else was there. Kat brought a guy friend with her, he was really nice. Tommy came by himself…" I paused and waited to see what her reaction would be. She didn't disappoint me, her eyes lit up with hope. I had thought right, even after all these years she's still carrying a torch for him.

"The car's out this way, if you have everything you need." Jase was just starting to say as he picked up Kim's two suitcases.

"Yeah, I'm ready." she said and turned to follow him out toward our car. "So Tommy's not seeing anyone now then?" she had asked very quietly as we walked just behind Jase.

I turned toward her, "No he's not. I don't know what his reaction will be when he sees you…" I trailed off thinking. "Kim, you hurt him really bad with that letter…that wasn't like you. What made you really write it to him? I just can't believe you found someone else, you were to deeply in love with him for that to happen." Something passed across her face, guilt or fear-maybe both, I'm just not sure.

She smiled weakly. "Trini, I love you like a sister, but it's just not something I really feel like talking with you about, at least not right now. Maybe later, I just don't know." It was fear, that's what I saw in her eyes, and pain. I believe she regretted deeply what she did to Tommy.

"Alright Kim, I respect your wishes, but you know that if in the future you want to talk about I'm always willing to listen." I told her, she seemed to seriously think about it, what she said next seriously confused me.

"I'd have to remember it first in order to talk to you about it," she said so quietly I almost didn't hear what she said. What in the hell did she mean by that?

I looked at her confusedly, "Would you mind clarifying that a little bit?" I asked, completely baffled by what was said.

She looked at me and the pain and guilt was completely offset by the fear. "I can't," she simply said. "Please don't ask me anything further Trini, I just don't think I can deal with it yet." What in the world had happened for Kim to shut me out this way, she use to be able to tell me anything. Even when she originally had her crush on Tommy, it was me who she came too, now she can't even confide in me about the letter, what happened in Florida to do this to her?

"Here we are," Jase said as he came to a stop next to our red Grand Prix. Kim eyed it appreciatively. "What do you think?" Jase asked, The damn car is his pride and joy, he babys it more than he does me…I'll never understand about men and their cars.

"It's nice," Kim was saying. "What year is it anyway?"

"A 2003," Jase answered. Bright fire engine red, you could see the blasted car coming a mile away and hear it from three miles…men and their cars anyway. I'll stick with my little yellow beetle bug. Jason still laughs at me till this day about my choice of cars…hmmm, if memory serves me right Kim owned a white Grand Am when she lived in Florida.

"Hey Kim," I started, "What ever happened to that Grand Am you owned?" Her eyes turned dark brown with some strange emotion I'd never seen on her face before…what was it? It almost reminded me of an intense fear.

"Oh," her voice cracked, "I got rid of it a few years back." She was lying, I could see it in her eyes. Why would she lie to me?

"You got rid of it? I thought you adored that car?" I just couldn't believe that.

"The insurance rate got way to high for me to pay so I sold it." That was believable, I guess. There was still something about her eyes, something I couldn't believe about her answer.

Jason was just shutting the trunk from putting Kim's bag in there, when had he opened it in the first place? "If you two ladies are ready to go…" he said as he unlocked the car's doors. I looked over at Kim but she refused to meet my glance. "We're getting company tonight, remember Trini?" he pointedly looked at me as he got into the car. How could I forget? This was going to be a really interesting evening, wait until Tommy finds out Kim is back, and back to stay.

Maybe I should be dreading this encounter…Kim has changed considerably. I got into the car and turned around to look at Kim as she closed the door beside her. "All ready?" I asked, a change of subject might do her some good.

"Can I say I'm dreading facing everyone again?" she half-heartedly tried to laugh.

"Everyone's put it in the past," Well, almost everyone has…maybe one person hasn't yet. And that's the person that counts the most right now to her.

I could see the same thoughts in her eyes. I smiled, trying to make her feel better. If that was at all possible. "The most he can do is just pretend you're not even there." I said, anything to take her mind off of what she was feeling. It was the worst thing I could've said.

"Yeah, ignore me the whole time." she said and sniffled. "He probably thinks I'm some sort of monster," she said pitifully.

"Maybe if you explained to him what your reasons were…" I trailed off at the venomous glance she gave me. Ok, bad idea then.

"I already told him in the letter what my reasons were." she was going to stick with her original story, which we both knew was a bunch of garbage. I couldn't believe there had ever been another guy…but if that was going to be the story she was going to stick too, who was I to argue?

"I could never tell him the truth…" I heard her quietly say, I'm not even sure if I actually heard her say it or if it was just my imagination.

Do you like? Confusing yet? Let me know, I just might let you in on the little secret that Kim is keeping to herself. This was not my best writing job by far, I probably really didn't portray Trini right, but you have to remember she is 10 years older. Read and Review guys! Please!! I'll work on chapter 3 and get it posted if enough people review this for me…come on and review, I'm begging! Thanks.
