Setting: Between 1997-2060
F.Y.I: You are going to have to use your imagination a bit. In this story I have it so all the Rangers, new and old know each other for the most part. There are many flashbacks throughout this story also. ________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Cristina was at the store food shopping. I was able to sleep about 3 hours, but now it was time to get ready for the dinner I was going to be having with my kids and grandkids.
"Rocky? I'm home. Can you help me with the bags please?" Cristina calls to me.
"Sure dear." And I go outside, grabbing the bags from the back trunk. "What time are the Kids coming over?" I ask.
"6:00. Angie and Lana may be a bit late though because she has a competition in San Francisco." She replies. After a few minutes she says "Oh no, I forgot a few things at the store." She says.
"I'll go and get it, what..." she cuts me off.
"Its ok Rocky, I'll get it!" She heads back out
"Alright!" I reply. I finish unpacking the food and remember something that we went through as a group. This time it was with Kimberly. She made a horrible decision about her body and because of that we almost lost her.
F.B.
We are all sitting at the youth center, minus Kim and Tommy. They were on a date. I think it was there 2 year anniversary.
"Has anyone noticed Kimberly lately?" Aisha asks.
"Notice what?" Jason asks, taking a sip of his drink.
"How thin she has gotten."
"She has always been quite thin" Billy replies.
"I just think she's gotten thinner." Aisha says. "Maybe I'm wrong."
"She looks the same to me Aisha," I say. "I don't know..." She says, but drops the subject.
"Hey guys." Tommy calls.
"Hi how was your date?" Aisha asks.
"Pretty good." He says.
"Where's Kim?" I ask.
"Bathroom." he says.
"Where did you guys go?" Aisha inquires?
"Out to diner." He says and Aisha just gets up and goes into the bathroom.
"What's Ish's problem?"
"I don't know." I reply.
A few seconds later Aisha comes out of the bathroom.
"Welcome back!" I call to her, smiling.
"Whatever." Aisha grumbles.
"What's wrong Aisha?" Tommy asks her.
"Nothing Tommy." she sighs.
"Ok." He replies.
A few weeks later, I really started to notice that Kim was a lot thinner than she use to be. I decided that I best go and confront her about it.
"Hey girl." I shout to her.
"Hey Rocky, what's up?" She replies.
"Nothing much, just getting ready for practice."
"Me too."
"Hey, Kimberly if you don't mind me saying, you have gotten really thin. Have you been sick?
"Nope! Just on a diet."
"Well don't over do it Kimberly! You are thin enough as it is already!"
"I can always loose a few pounds here and there." She says. "I better get going. Coach is gonna flip" she calls as she runs down the steps to the beam. They exchange words and Kim gets to work, and so do I.
It wasn't till about a week later when I finally got very worried about Kimberly. She looked very thin and must have lost about 20 pounds. Tommy notices it too. She and him had a fight over it and haven't spoken in a day.
"Hey Tom. Seen Kim today?" I ask.
"Yeah." He says.
"You guys on better terms?" I ask him, with a hopeful look.
"Yeah, were ok." Tommy says.
We sit in silence for a few moments. Tommy finally speaks up in a low voice. "Do you think Kim has a problem?"
"What kind of problem?" I ask.
"Like an Eating Disorder?" He replies.
"Well, she has lost a lot of weight in the past few weeks." I say. "Has she eaten around you?"
"Yeah, quite frequently, like she always has." He replies.
"Maybe she's just exercising... but I'm not sure. I wish I knew the answer."
"Me too Rocky." He shakes his head. I have only seen Tommy this concerned once before about her, and that was when she was really sick.
We let her go for a week later because we had no way to actually know if she was anorexic until one day she was on the beam.
"Hey Aisha." I call to her over at the usual table.
"Hey." She replies glumly.
"What's up?"
"I'm still really worried about Kim." She says. "Look how thin she is Rocky!" She shouts.
"Tommy is going to talk to her tonight about it." I assure her, and glance over to the beam. She is very shaky which is something I have never seen her be. "She looks like she's gonna fall off that thing..." I tell Aisha, and no sooner than I said it, she messed up her dismount and came down hard on her back and head. Aisha and I jump up from our seats and run over to her. Tommy looks up from his class he was teaching and sees Kim laying on the ground. He immediately dismisses class and runs over to her.
"Kim?" I call to her. "Kimberly wake up."
"Someone call an Ambulance!" Aisha calls.
"Kimberly." Tommy calls to her. "Come on Kim open your eyes." He bends down to see if she's breathing. She is thankfully. I see Adam flash before my eyes, and I see it with Kim.
I can't lose another friend. There is no way in hell! We try and wake her up but failing. The Ambulance comes and takes her away, just like Adam. Tommy goes with her and we follow in Aisha's car.
"She's so stupid. She is so god damn stupid." Aisha says.
"Aisha just drive." I say.
"She wasn't fat!" She screams.
"Aisha! Stop for a minute and drive. We don't know for sure if she's even anorexic." I tell her. I know otherwise.
"Ok." She drives.
At the hospital I we see Tommy sitting in the waiting room. He looks worried, and I can't blame him.
"Any news?" I ask him. He looks up at me and shakes his head.
"The doctors have her in trauma. They have to make sure her neck isn't broken or anything."
"Oh..." I say.
"Is she anorexic?" Aisha asks.
"They haven't said." He sighs.
"Oh, ok." Aisha says. We sit there in silence for about an hour, when the doctors come out. Kim's parents are there too.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hart?" The doctor starts.
"Yes?" Mr. Hart answers.
"My name is Dr. Miller, and I was the one working on Kimberly."
"How is she?" Mrs. Hart asked.
"Thankfully, she has sustained no permanent injury, however, she has lost a lot of enamel on the back of her teeth, and she is extremely fatigued in her bones and mussels."
"What does that mean?" Her mom asked.
"Have you noticed she had different eating patterns? Have there been any signs of starvation or frequent visitation to restrooms prior to meals?"
"Yes." Aisha says. "She told us that she was fine. She had frequent mood swings too."
"I think Kimberly is bulimic."
"She can't be. She is smarter than that." Her father shouts.
"She is below 20% of her normal body weight too. I will set her up for a rehab program after she admits it." The doctor explains. "She has to want this though, otherwise it won't work."
"Can I see my Daughter yet?"
"In a few minutes." The doctor says and disappears into the back.
I glance around the room, to each person. Aisha is sitting next to Kim's mom, her chin is resting in her cradled hands. Her parents are both looking extremely stressed. Tommy is sitting next to Jason. They are both slouched over in their chairs. Tommy has his forehead on his hands and Jason is staring out the window. Billy is sitting next to me. He looks ok on the outside, but his eyes show how scared he actually is. Zack is sitting next to Aisha, and Trini who is looking almost as bad as Tommy is next to Billy.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hart? You can go in and see her now." The nurse says.
"Um," Mr. Hart starts, "We'll come back out soon and you can go in and see her." And they walk down the hallway to her room.
About an hour later, well maybe I'm exaggerating by about 20 minutes, Kim's parents come out. Her mother looks really upset. "You guys can go in and see her, but not too many at once." Mr. Hart says and they walk out.
"Why don't you guys go?" I say, pointing at Jason, Tommy, Billy, Trini and Zack.
"I don't think I'm ready yet..."Trini says.
"I'll wait with you till you are then." Billy says.
"How about, Rocky Tommy, Jason, and Aisha go?" Zack says.
"Ok." Aisha says.
"We'll be in later." Billy says.
We nod and slowly walk back to room 224.
Tommy goes in first. "Hey, you awake?" He calls.
"Yeah." she replies weakly.
"How are ya feeling Kiddo?" Jason says as he walks in the room.
"Like a truck hit me." She replies.
"Do you remember what happened Kimberly?" Aisha asked.
"I only know what the doctors told me." She said.
"Oh, well do you hurt?" Jason asks.
"No Jason, I feel absolutely perfect. I have NO pain what so ever. I mean I only fell off the beam doing my most COMPLEX dismount and landed on my neck. Why in the world would that hurt?" She says very sarcastically.
"Don't you dare get on my case Kimberly. I am concerned about you dammit! "Jason says getting angry.
"Jase," Tommy says. Jason looks annoyed.
"You're awfully quiet Rocky." Kim tells me.
"Yeah, I know." I say to her.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
"I'm trying to figure out something." I say... knowing exactly what her next question is going to be.
"Figure out what?" She says.
"Why you are bulimic." I reply flat out.
"I'm not." She says.
"Quit the act Kim." Tommy says.
"I'm not!" She is getting upset.
"Don't you dare lie to me Kimberly." Tommy shouts.
"I am NOT lying!" She says.
"Then eat." Tommy says. "Put that food in you."
"I'm not hungry now!" She says.
"It doesn't matter! Just eat a piece!" Tommy says.
"You can't make me eat Tommy!" She shouts.
"That's what I thought." Tommy walks out of the room, and out of the hospital leaving Kim without a final word. The look on Kim's face was one that I have never seen before.
"Kimberly? You ok?" I ask her
"He hates me." She says.
"He doesn't hate you Kimberly, he's scared for you." Jason says. "We all are worried about you."
"Yeah Kim. We don't want you getting sick. You are a perfect weight, and I don't understand why you feel that you have to loose weight." Aisha says. "I can't lose another Friend."
"I'm fine."
"No you're not Kim." Trini walks in. "Look at how thin you are! Look at your collarbone." She says. "I love you Kimberly, but you have to start eating. Please, do it for us." Trini pleads with her.
"You have to Kim. We don't want to lose you." Billy tells her.
"Yeah Kimmy, please, don't fuck up." Zack says bluntly.
After a few more minutes of staying in there it is very obvious that Kim is getting really tired so we all decide to leave.
"We'll see you tomorrow." Aisha tells her.
"Aisha." She says.
"Yeah?"
"Will you go talk to Tommy for me? Please?" Kim begs her.
"Yeah, I'll talk to him for you." She gives Kim a hug, and I thought I saw a flash of jealousy in Trini, but I dismissed it. "Feel better." And with that we all walk out.
"Oh shit," I say.
"What's wrong?" Aisha asks.
"I forgot my keys. Wait here. I'll be right back." I tell her and walk back in the room. Before entering, I peer in, just to make sure its ok for me to enter. She is asleep and I walk in quietly. The door must have woken her up because the second I enter the room she wakes up and asks, "What did you forget?"
I look over at her and smile. "My keys."
"Can I ask you something?" She asks.
"You know you always can." I say as she motions for me too sit down. I pull up a chair next to her and look at her. She looks like a skeleton. Kimberly always confided in me almost as much as Tommy and Jason.
"Are you mad at me?"
"I'm disappointed in you. I thought you were smarter than that." I say flat out.
"I thought I was too...but..." She stops.
"But what Kim?" I ask.
"My coach kept on telling me that I had to loose more weight. He said that I had to drop it if I ever wanted to be in the Olympics or Pan Globals. I tried, but every time I worked out I always gained muscle, so I figured I would eat, but just throw it up. It worked, but I can't stop now. When I put it in my mouth I throw up even with out forcing myself." She says borderline tears.
"We'll help you get through this Kimberly. That's what friends are for."
"Tommy wont."
"Just give him a chance to understand everything and deal with it all and he'll be fine." I reassure her.
"He's pissed at me Rocky." She says.
"No Kim, he isn't. Listen, just get some rest and I'll see you later ok?"
I start to get up and she asks, "Will you stay with me? Just for a bit?" "Yeah." I tell her and I sit back down. She takes my hand in hers and closes her eyes. I sigh and stare out the window for a few seconds. Aisha comes to the door and walks in the room. "Hey." She says quietly. "You ready to go?"
"In a few minutes. I told her I would stay with her." I say just as quietly.
"Alright. I'll wait outside." She tells me.
I nod and turn my attention towards Kim again. After a few minutes I quietly stand up and walk out.
"Ready Aisha?"
"Yeah." We both walk out of the hospital.
"Where's Jason? I thought he was coming home with us?"
"He went to look for Tommy."
"Ah. Alright. Well do you want me to drive you home or..."
She cuts me off. "Can I go home with you for a while?" I smile and nod and with that we go to my house in silence.
Kimberly over the next few months got help and beat this bulimia. She had all of our support and love to help her through this. She knew she had a long difficult road ahead of her, but also knew it wouldn't be so bad with all of us backing her up. It was a long few months till she got back up to her normal self. But because of how close we were, when one person went through a tough time, we all did.

"Rocky? Can you go put on the steak please?" Cristina asks me.
"Sure. Do you have chicken for the kids?
"Yes. That's what I forgot prior to this. I wish Lana, Daniel and Samantha would eat steak."
"They're fine dear. They eat other protein and are healthy." I reply to her. "I don't mind cooking something they like rather than forcing them to eat something they don't." Dinner that night went very well. I enjoyed seeing all the kids. My grandkids are growing up so fast. My oldest grandchild is 24 now and getting married. My youngest is driving. Where did the time go.
That night I just sat down after the kids all left and relaxed with my T.V, but my mind was still wandering.
