FINAL CHAPTER!!!
Chapter 7
Rocky stood stunned at what Kim had just told him. Kim had disappeared upstairs and he heard the door shut. He knew he should leave her until the others came home, but they wouldn't be home for a good few hours. He suddenly came to the conclusion that he had to sort it out with her now. He climbed the stairs two at a time and walked briskly along the landing and reached Kim's door. He knocked tentatively, scared really of what was going to happen.
"Kim, please we have to talk". He spoke through the door. Kim didn't reply. He pushed the door open and went inside to find Kim sat on the floor with the album the girls gave her before she left. "Kim, you didn't kill Tamara. It WAS an accident, it would have happened if you'd been there or not". Rocky sat next to her and squeezed her shoulder with his hand.
"No, No, Rocky it was my fault, she was laughing at me and that's why she wasn't concentrating". Kim began crying harshly.
"It wasn't you guys that were on the wrong side of the road". Rocky pulled her closer.
"If I hadn't been messing about, she wouldn't have taken her eyes off the road and she'd have seen the other car coming sooner".
"Kim, even if she'd seen the car coming she wouldn't have been able to do anything, we had to collect your things from the accident and the police told us if she'd have moved sooner the car would have hit you head on, killing you both instantly". Rocky pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her forehead letting Kim cry openly. Eventually she cried herself to sleep in his arms. Before heading back downstairs Rocky picked her up and laid her on the bed and covered her up, leaving her to get some much needed rest.
After about half an hour of sitting watching TV, the others arrived home and went to sit in the living room with him.
"So how did it go"? Kat asked.
"The service was ok, Kim didn't talk to any of her friends. Even one asked me what was wrong with her". Rocky told them.
"Who's gonna call her mom"? Aisha asked.
"There's no need. You see Counselor DeSantos has sorted it". Rocky said without cracking a smile.
"How do you mean"? Kat asked.
"I know what's wrong with her and have started the wheels turning". Rocky carried on.
"Well, what's wrong with her smart arse"? Aisha asked.
"She's been blaming herself all along for everything, she thinks the accident was her fault because Tamara was laughing at her and didn't see the car coming towards them". Rocky told them.
"Well, what's she doing now"? Adam asked.
"She cried herself to sleep".
"Hold up, How do you know all this"? Aisha asked confused.
Rocky began telling them the whole story of how Kim shouted at him and he went after her. He also told them that she wasn't completely 'healed', she still needed to get a lot off her mind.
The next morning, Kim actually appeared out of her bedroom and came down for breakfast. She didn't talk much but it was a start. Kat and Aisha asked her if she wanted to come with them shopping or to the Youth centre but she declined, which they could understand, she wasn't ready to converse with others.
That night Kat and Aisha told the guys not to come over so they could have a girlie night in with Kim. That night Kim told them everything.
"I know I didn't cause the accident but until Rocky told me what the Police said, I felt as though everything was my fault, it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't been bringing me home or if I hadn't been singing to her". Kim continued.
"Kim it wasn't your fault, none of it was, we didn't know Tamara but 'I'm sure she'd be telling you the same thing". Kat said as she huddled up with Kim and Aisha.
"I know, I just have to keep telling myself that". Kim said.
A few days later, Kim went to Tamara's grave and took 12 red roses and laid them on the grave. Rocky had taken her with it being his day off. After about 5 minutes he followed Kim up to the grave and put his arm around her.
"Thank you". She turned and hugged him.
"What for"? He asked.
"For being you and stubborn enough to make me see sense". Kim said whilst hugging him.
"Anytime". He kissed her forehead as she pulled away.
That's it. THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS.
