Chapter 18
After chatting to Coach Schmidt and finalising details for both tomorrow and her scholarship, Kim showed him to the taxi which he had insisted in calling for instead of having Rocky or herself take him to his hotel. After watching him dissappear in ther taxi, Kim turned on her heels and went and sat down, knowing that her friends would be down in a few minutes. Eventually, Rocky popped his head around the corner and looked the room up and down.
"He's gone". Kim said blankly.
"And".. Rocky left the sentence open for her to finish hoping she wasn't mad.
"And, I should really be killing you at this very moment, but because I love you I'm not". Kim said as she ran into his arms and kissed him gently on ther lips.
"So your not mad that I asked him to come early"? Rocky questioned her raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, I'm still mad about that, But at this very moment in time I'm too happy to be mad". Kim said staying in his arms and laughing slightly. "All I'm gonna say is that your little scheme worked. He wants me to go to Florida on a full gymnastics scholarship". Kim almost screamed.
"Your kidding". Rocky said the shock hitting him. He was so happy for her yet felt sick to his stomach that she would have to live in Florida and leave him.
5 minutes later the rest of the guys came down and Kim shared her good news with them, then they had a little celebration before everyone got back to work except Aisha and Kim who went upstairs for a girlie chat.
"Oh Kim, you really did it girl. You always said that one day you'd get outta this town and show the world what you could do". Aisha remenisced.
"I know, but that was then, this is now. I'm so scared of leaving Sha, How can I want something so much but not want it when it finally comes my way". Kim welled up.
"What do you mean"? aisha asked nudging a little closer to put an arm around her best friend.
"I so wanted to become a top gymnast, but now I've actually been asked to try to become what I've always wanted to be, I don't want it. I am dying to turn down the offer but I can't not everyone get's an opportunity like this". Kim grabbed a tissue and wiped the small tears that had begun to stream down her face.
"Kim, you listen to me, if its because you don't want to leave all of us behind forget it, We'll all still be here when you come home and it's not as though Rocky' poor, he can pay for plane tickets home at weekends and stuff and if when you get there you are really and I mean REALLY unhappy, you can always come home". Aisha giggled a little to try and cheer her friend up. After that Kim cheered up but the thought of leaving was at the back of her mind.
A week later Kim was packing the four suitcases she was taking to Florida. Eventually Kim had stopped worrying about her leaving and had begun to discuss what clothes with Aisha and the new Mrs Kranston who had arrived home from her honeymoon a few days ago. As Kim packed a few of her photos of herself and Rocky, she picked up the picture that had been taken on their first ever date at the carnival and touched the glass delicatly.
"Hey". Came a voice from behind her making her jump slightly.
"Hey". She replied as she had turned to see who it was.
"Looks as though you were having fun". The person made small talk.
"Yeah we were, we have been ever since". Kim finally placed the photo in between her clothes.
"Kim, he doesn't want you to go, he's doing exactly what your doing, hiding your true feelings so as not to hurt the other".
"Its not as simple as it sounds you know". Kim turned to face the person.
"Yeah Kim it is, all you have to do is tell him, it'll make all the difference". The person informed her as they turned and began to walk away.
"JASE", Kim shouted as he turned at the sound of her voice. "Thanks"! Kim said as she walked quickly over to him and slung her arms around him.
"Anytime". Jason hugged back.
"Huh huh". Another person butted in.
"I'll leave you two alone". Jason said letting Kim go at the site of the other person obviously wanting to speak with Kim.
After Jason had gone, kim looked longingly at Rocky. "Rocky, I need to tell you something". Kim began.
"Kim, let me go first". Rocky butted in. "Ever since you got accepted to train with Coach Schmidt, I've been going around acting as though I'm happy your leaving, I'm not. But I know this is what you want". Rocky told her truthfully.
"Rocky, I don't want to leave either but that's because I don't want to leave you". Kim said. "But I need to do this, if I don't I'll never forgive myself for letting this opportunity just go". Kim told him as tears began to roll softly down her cheeks.
"I'm being selfish by not wanting you to go, I don't want you to go because I'll miss you, but I want you to go because I know how much you want this and how good you are". Rocky told her sitting next to the now seated Kim and wrapped both his arms around her. "Listen, lets just forget about it, we'll still see eachother all the time. Come on let's go downstairs, the guys are anting to take you out for a meal". Rocky then stood and offered her his hand and then they both walked down stairs.
Ok I'm gonna leave it here. Now you have a choice - you can either vote for a quiet goodbye meal, a big party or a night out clubbing to say goodbye to Kim! You decide. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
