Take A Chance On Us
Chapter 2
Jimmy couldn't believe what Kim just said to him. She didn't just say that she wanted me back did she?
Kim looked up at Jimmy and she knew what his answer was. How could I ever think he would want me back? Kim started to walk away from Jimmy,
"Kim, don't walk away from me?" said Jimmy loudly.
"Jimmy, you didn't have to say anything, I just know your answer by the look on your face," said Kim as she started to walk out of Jimmy's apartment.
"Kim, I didn't say anything because I was just surprised by what you said." said Jimmy. "Please just stay here, and we can talk."
"Fine," said Kim as she stormed back into the apartment.
"Daddy… is everything okay?" asked Joey who had just come out of his room.
"Everything is fine, why don't you go back to sleep.
"Okay," said the little boy as he went back into his room. Kim went and sat down on the couch as Jimmy tucked Joey into bed.
Jimmy then came back into the living room, and sat on the couch next to Kim.
"Kim, it has been a bad year for you, I don't think you really meant what you said, I think that you just needed something good in your life, but I'm not that," said Jimmy softly.
"You are right. I don't know what I was thinking." said Kim tenderly.
"Why don't I make you a cup of coffee?"
"Sure, that would be great," said Kim softly. Kim couldn't believe that she told Jimmy that she was in love with him again. Am I really in love with him again or do I just need something good in my life to make me forgot everything that happened this year.
"Here's your coffee," said Jimmy as he handed her the cup of coffee and sat down next to her.
"Thanks," she said.

Half an hour later,
"Well I have to go home now." said Kim softly as she got up from the couch.
"Kim, you can stay here for tonight" said Jimmy.
"Are you sure?" asked Kim softly.
"Yes I am." said Jimmy as he went and got Kim some blankets and pillows.
"Night," Jimmy said as he went into his room.
During the night,
"No….. Pauline don't hurt me…No." screamed Kim.
"Kim, wake up, it's only a nightmare, he can't hurt you anymore." said Jimmy softly as he sat down to Kim.
"Jimmy, I'm so scared, I don't know if I can ever get over this," she said as she sat up.
"Kim….you are going to be fine… just relaxed and go back to bed…
"Jimmy… thanks" said Kim delicately as she started to drift off to sleep.

The next morning,
Jimmy woke up, and looked to his side, and saw Kim cuddled up to him. He tried to sleep in his own room, but she didn't want him to go, as she was afraid to go to sleep. Is she ever going to be able to get through this, or is this going to haunt her forever.
"Kim… I do still love you, but I just don't want to hurt you again, you have been through so much already." said Jimmy softly as he touched her face.
"Jimmy… you won't hurt me, and if you do, I can handle it." said Kim quietly. Jimmy looked at Kim.
"I didn't know you were awake." said Jimmy gently.
"I just woke up" said Kim as she sat up.
Kim took Jimmy's hand. "Jimmy, just give us a chance that is all I ask.
"I can't promise that I won't hurt you."
"I know," said Kim softly. "We will take it really slow."
"Okay," said Jimmy as he leaned over and kissed her.
"Mom…" said Joey softly.
"Hi, "said Kim.
"Why don't I make you some breakfast," said Jimmy as he got up from the couch. Kim watched as Jimmy and Joey went into the kitchen. Just maybe everything will be okay, thought Kim to herself as she went into the kitchen to join them.
