Ch 39~
Kim looked up the minute she heard the anger in Jimmy's voice. She saw Bobby at the door and sighed. "Hi Bobby." She said quietly. "Jimmy, can you let him in?"
"Kim-"
"We'll talk in a little while." She promised.
"Fine." Jimmy let Bobby in.
Bobby looked at Jimmy and then at Kim. "Did I interrupt something?"
"Yeah kinda." Kim said quietly at the same time Jimmy said,
"Yes," in an adamant tone.
"Oh. Maybe I should go."
"Maybe you should."
"Jimmy."
"Kim, he wants to go."
"Bobby, you can stay if you want."
"No, I'll go. I obviously interrupted something important." Bobby went back out the door.
Kim looked at Jimmy. "You have got to stop that."
"What?"
"Bobby is my friend. There's nothing but that between us."
"Not always Kim."
"Oh God. Do you know how long ago that was?"
"He asked you to marry him."
"Even if he is in love with me which after all this time, I really doubt, I'm not in love with him. He's my best friend and he's my family. Period. You are going to have to learn to co-exist with him. Jimmy, I am asking you. Please, don't make more to this situation then there is."
"Kim-" The ringing of the phone cut him off.
Kim picked up the phone. "Hello?..Mom?. Mom, slow down..What?...Oh God. Is she okay?..Yeah, yeah. We'll be there soon." She hung up. "Son of a bitch." She swore.
"Kim?"
"Melanie's in the hospital."
"What happened?"
"Tony went ballistic and went after her."
"What about Abby?"
"She's fine. She was at Mom's. Doc and Carlos are the ones who picked Mel up after a neighbor called. Doc recognized her and called my mom." Kim looked mad and scared. "I have to be there."
"Of course."
"I wanna take Joey and Charlie with me. I want you to come too." She hesitated at the last part. "Mel adores Bobby and he adores her. I want him to come along too."
"Okay." Jimmy said after a moment.
"Really?"
"Yeah. C'mon let's go."
