Chapter Two

Disclaimer: You know how it goes. Oh, and Emotion is sung by Destiny's Child, and I don't own that, either.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews!

It's over and done

But the heartache lives on inside

And who is the one you're clinging to

Instead of me tonight?

Kim allowed a tear to roll down her cheek and fall onto her pillow. Almost six months had passed since she had sent the dreadful letter to Tommy. She had expected it to be easier to concentrate on gymnastics after she sent it, but it wasn't. She found it even harder to focus on her training, especially after she had heard from her former Ranger teammate Adam Park that Tommy was now dating Kat.

And where are you now, now that I need you?

Tears on my pillow wherever you go

I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You'll never see me fall apart

She had spent the past six months crying herself to sleep at night, thinking about Tommy. Her whole personality had changed. She was no longer perky and optimistic. Instead, she was upset and unhappy most of the time. She no longer held the same passion for gymnastics that she had when she first came to Miami, and it showed. She messed up her routines more often and even began skipping practices. Her heart just wasn't in it anymore. Tommy had been her inspiration, and now that she had broken up with him, she felt there was no good reason to keep training.

In the words of a broken heart it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song
But if you don't come back come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

It was a mistake. The letter had been a big mistake, and Kim knew that. She had been selfish. All she really cared about at the time was her gymnastics career. She didn't even stop to think about how Tommy would feel; she just wrote the letter, which was full of lies, and sent it. Why did I tell him I found someone else in the first place? she thought. I was so stupid. "Oh, Tommy," she wailed out loud. "I didn't mean to hurt you the way I did. You have no idea how much I still need you in my life."

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

Kim's heart split in two as she realized that she was no longer part of Tommy's life. He had moved on, found someone else for real, because he had believed that Kim was in love with another guy. But it wasn't that easy for Kim. She still loved Tommy, she still wanted to be with him. She sobbed as she thought, But he doesn't love you anymore. He doesn't want to be with you.

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

A part of Kim wanted to leave Florida that instant and go back to Angel Grove to explain the whole thing to Tommy, but she knew very well that she couldn't. He was happy with Kat, and, as hard as it sounded, Kim had to accept it. It was her own fault he was dating Kat, after all. Besides, he thought she had cheated on him. She was probably the last person he wanted to see. She considered calling him, but she knew he wouldn't want to talk to her, either.

Kim couldn't believe herself. She had let go of a perfect relationship with the perfect boyfriend. And now, he had found someone else while Kim didn't have anyone anymore. There was a hole in her heart that was once filled when she was still with Tommy. But he was no longer a part of her life.

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

Kim sighed as she picked up the picture of Tommy from her night stand. Tommy, I'm so sorry," she whispered to it as she stroked the frame. "I'm truly sorry." She settled it back down on the night stand and rolled over, crying herself to sleep once again.

A/N: Now that I wrote a second chapter, I'm thinking about writing a third chapter, maybe focusing on Kat's feelings when Tommy and Kim meet again? I don't know. Please tell me if you want me to continue or not, and if you have any ideas, feel free to either e-mail them to me (use the link on my profile page) or leave them on the review page.
