Kimberly slowly sank into the chair. Thoughts were running so fast through her head that she couldn't concentrate on any one of them at a time.
"Ok look Beautiful, I'm probably not going to be the easiest person to deal with tonight. I'm very hurt by what you did. Not the actual fact that you found someone else, I can almost over look that. You were young and so was I. But it's the fact that you couldn't tell me to my face. And that you LIED! AND THAT YOU INTENTIONALLY HURT ME."
Kimberly shivered as his voice rose. "I-I know I did Tommy. And all I can do is say that I'm sorry. Didn't I already explain this in that letter?"
"Look at me Kimberly, what did I just say?" he said while running his hand through his hair. She just wasn't getting it.
She glanced up at him and quickly lowered her head. She said nothing.
"I SAID I was pissed about the fact that you couldn't tell me to my face. Here's your chance to rectify yourself."
"I didn't know what else to tell you!" she sobbed. "I was severely depressed that I couldn't see you and the others every day like I used to. I had no one to talk to and he just sort of was there for me when you couldn't be."
"Ever heard of the telephone?" he asked "Do you think you were the only one hurting?"
She rolled her eyes beginning to feel herself get angry. "Look don't treat me like I'm stupid. I wasn't the only one that found comfort in someone else you know" She said pointedly. She walked over and turned on her CD player.
"What are you doing?" he demanded.
"I'm putting on some music do you mind? Or now that your suddenly back into my life do I have to ask your permission? I'm not 16 anymore Tommy, I know what I did was wrong, but you didn't help matters."
"Oh so I MADE you cheat on me? How convenient." He muttered.
The music started to play and it couldn't have been more fitting she thought. He was definitely insecure about something. Sure she cheated on him, but sheesh let's get real here, how many 16 year olds know what they want? There was something else that was bothering him. He even said in his letters that he would have understood everything.
"If we can't find a way out of these problems, then maybe we don't need this.
Standing face to face, enemies at war, we build defenses, and secret hiding places."
She turned to face him hands on her hips. He returned her stare with his arms crossed. If a stranger had seen this he would have never guessed they were so much in love.
"Why don't you tell me what's REALLY bothering you Tommy. I cheated on you, yeah, but that couldn't have killed you. Kat was more than willing to replace me."
"Don't bring Kat into this." He spat.
"I'll do whatever I want to do Tommy, especially until you tell me what your malfunction is!"
"YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG KIM?"
"I might need you to hold me tonight.
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to take the first stand.
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man"
"Yes Tommy, I'd give anything to know what your problem is!" she yelled.
Tommy sighed and sunk down into the couch. He wanted so badly to tell her but he just couldn't bring himself to say the words. They sounded so petty now, but it was really bothering him.
"More than anything I hate this silence, It's getting so loud.
Well I want to scream, but bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe.
So tell me isn't happiness, worth more than a gold diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything, To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind, but lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle, just a reason to believe."
Kimberly sighed and joined him on the couch. She took his hand in hers. He finally looked up her. They just sat in each other's company for a few minutes just staring at each other.
"I might need you to hold me tonight.
I might need you to say it's all right.
I might need you to take the first stand.
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man."
"Look Tommy, I know there is something more on your mind besides the obvious. Don't you think your being a slight hypocrite by not telling me? Wasn't that you earlier telling me that I could trust you with anything and should have told you first?"
"Yeah, I guess. It's just hard. You have no idea how bad you hurt me. I thought we were going to be together forever. Kat, well, she was just a rebound. She could never replace you Kimberly. She didn't even come close. I- I guess what I want to know is." he stood up beginning to get frustrated again. "How could you sleep with him and not sleep with me?"
Kimberly couldn't believe her ears. "What did you just say? Did Rocky tell you that?"
"Hey don't blame Rocky for cleaning up your mistake. He told me what you should have told me a long time ago Princess, so don't you dare drag Rocky into this."
At first Kimberly just sat there in shock. Then a slow smile spread across her face. The more she thought about it, the more she found this funny. She let out a little giggle first, then convulsed into laughter.
Tommy didn't know what to say. Then he snapped. "Well who needs you Kimberly? I'm out of here."
He almost took the door off of its hinges when he exited the apartment.
"Tommy wait!" Kimberly laughed trying to calm her laughter.
It was too late. He was already gone. Kimberly's laughter came to a sudden halt. Wow this bothered him more than she thought. She did the only thing she could think of doing.
She picked up the phone and started dialing.
