Chapter 13
The next day everyone was rushing around getting last minute preparations ready for the grand opening. Rocky and Adam had been to see Tommy's parents to see if they wanted to be the ones to open the place officially seen as it was named after Tommy. They had been delighted and hadn't had to be asked twice.
"What time have I gotta go for Jean and Richie"? Kim shouted to Rocky regarding the lift for Tommy's parents.
"Er I said about 11". Rocky answered from up a ladder.
"Ok, I'll just finish helping Aisha and Ernie then I'll go for them". Kim repled making her way back to help Ernie and Aisha. 15 minutes later Kim reappeared at Rocky's side as she pushed her hand into his back pocket of his jeans to retrieve the keys. "Thanks sweetie". She said laughing as she kissed him on the cheek and rushed out to the car.
Kim was feeling a little nervous about seeing Tommy's parents as it was the first time since the funeral. She had seen them vaguely at the wedding but they didn't seem to stay long. She had the slight feeling that all the merryment had got to them, also she knew that Tommy's adopted sister Cheryl was flying in as she hadn't managed to get home in time for the funeral. Sooner than she expected she was pulling up outside there house. She looked longingly to see Tommy bounding down the front porch like old times. He did'nt appear so she sighed and got out and made her way up to the door. Before she'd even had chance to ring the bell the door flung open.
"Kimberly". Jean, Tommy's mom embraced her.
"Hi", Kimberly hugged back feeling the sudden sense of relaxation hit her.
"Richie, Cheryl, come look who's come to pick us up". Jean shouted to the remaining members of her family.
"Kim". Cheryl shouted as she pranced into the hallway to meet her old friend.
"Cheryl, You look brilliant, college life must suite you". Kim hugged her close friend. Although Kim had been closer to Tommy, at one point Cheryl was just as much part of the gang as anyone else.
"Yeah, I'm really enjoying it, So I'm guessing that your part of the dojo team then". Cheryl lead Kim into the living room.
"Yeah, it's my boyfriend and his best friend that are the main owners, but his best friend is soon to marry their best friend and my best friend". Kim talked in her old way that only her close friends could understand.
"Nice to hear you haven't changed". Cheryl laughed at the confused sentence.
Kim soon began to feel a little uneasy again, they all seemed a tad too cheerful to say that they had just lost their son and brother, but quickly remembering that it had been nearly 4 months since his death.
"Kim you with us"? Cheryl waved a hand in front of her eyes.
"Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about something". Kim replied.
"Yeah, what bout"?
"Nuthin, anyway guess who's back in town"? Kim quickly changed the subject.
"Who"?
"Jase and Zack, they came home for Trini and Billy's wedding, It's a shame you couldn't make it".
The two friends chatted easily about old memories of how Kim used to fancy Tommy and Cheryl used to fancy Jase when they first moved to town. Cheryl told Kim about college and her new boyfriend. Cheryl was just a year younger than Kim and had got a place at New York University. Cheryl seemed very interested in Kim's new boyfriend and what Zack and jason had been up to at the peace conference. The whole time Cheryl was talking Kim looked at her and realised how much like Tommy she was even though she had been adopted.
"Yall ready"? kim finally asked as she glanced at the time.
"Sure". Everyone replied.
As soon as they all piled into Rocky's jeep, Kim started the engine with a roar and began driving the way she had come. It didn't take here 10 minutes and as she parked the jeep up front Rocky was just fixing the tape to the front entrance that Tommy's parents would be cutting.
"Hey babe". Rocky said as he saw Kim climb out.
"Rocky, this is Tommy's sister Cheryl". Kim introduced him to the girl that followed Kim and her parents.
"Hi". Rocky said as he quickly pushed the last pin into the ribbon and turned and offered her his hand.
"So you're the famous Rocky that Kim's told me about this morning". Cheryl took his hand smiling.
"Jason and Zack are inside". Kim said pointing to the door. As Cheryl and her parents went inside. Once out of ear shot Rocky leant forward and kissed Kim.
"You been talking about me". He grinned.
"Don't get too big headed will you, we were just catching up with eachother". Kim nipped his cheek the kissed him laughing.
"I know Tommy told me he'd got a younger sister but I swear she could be mistaken for his twin". Rocky said grabbing her hand and leading her inside.
"Would you believe that she's adopted". Kim told him.
"She can't be she looks too much like Tommy and his parents". Rocky said as he walked into the main room to see Cheryl and her parents receiving big hugs off Zack, Jason and Ernie. Adam and Aisha walked over to Rocky and Aisha.
"That can't be Tommy's sister"! aisha said amazed at the likeness of her to Tommy.
"Yep, and she's adopted". Rocky whispered back.
"You kidding right". Adam turned to look at Rocky to see if there was a glimpse of laughter in his face.
"He isn't". Kim answered.
"Hey 10 minutes guys". Rocky shouted dropping the subject as Cheryl and her parents made their way over to them.
Okay, another chapter. I've got 2 weeks off at the moment so I'm hoping to get loads more chapters up. Please R&R!
