*Notes- In this fic, Trini is 17 and at the Peace Conference. There, she is in a car accident and is killed.
Kimberly Hart was sitting in her apartment in Flordia when the phone rang. She wondered who it could be since it was 7:00 in the morning.
"Hello?" She said picking up the phone.
"Kim?" A voice asked.
"Yeah. Who is this?"
"It's me, Billy."
"Billy?!" Kim asked sounding surprised. "Wow, it's good to hear from you!"
"It's good to hear from you, too. Only, I wish I could have called you under better circumstances."
"What do you mean? Have you been crying? Billy, what's going on?"
"Kim, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm just going to say it."
"I don't like the sound of this."
"Maybe you should sit down."
Kim went into her living room and sat down on her couch.
"Okay, I'm sitting down. What is it?"
"Kim, Trini's.." Billy trailed off; his voice breaking.
"Oh my God. Billy, what's wrong with her?"
"Trini's dead."
Kim let out a bloodcurlding scream, and dropped the phone. She was gasping for breath, because the news she just heard took the wind out of her.
"Kim, you there?" Billy's voice said through the phone on the floor.
Crying; she picked up the phone and said nothing.
"Kim? Are you there?"
"How?" Was the one, simple question she managed to get out through her sobs.
"From what Jason told me, she went for a late night drive, and she was driving back to her apartment, when another car hit her head on."
"Oh my God." Kim whispered.
"She had a major concussion, and a few broken ribs. One of those ribs was pushed into her lungs. She died on the way to the hospital."
"This isn't real!" She screamed to the top of her lungs. "It's a dream! It's not real!"
"Kim, you've gotta calm down."
"NO! I will NOT calm down."
"Kim..." Billy trailed off not knowing what to say.
Billy could hear Kim's loud, unearthly sobs. Just hearing Kim made Billy want to break down himself.
"Look, you really don't need to be alone. Please, come over to the Juice Bar. I'll be there waiting for you."
Kim didn't even bother to say "bye." She just hung up the phone, and threw it across the room.
She tried to stop crying, and she tried to stop crying, but it was no use. The tears seemed endless. The pain she felt inside was measureless. She had to get to Angel Grove as soon as possible. No doubt, that's where the funeral would be held. She threw some clothes into a briefcase, grabbed her keys, and ran out the door. It took her a few hours, but she finally got there. The first thing she did was find a hotel. After throwing her clothes in the dreser, she got a brush out of her suitcase and brushed her hair. She changed into a pair of shorts, and a pink tank-top. Before she walked out the door, she looked in the mirror.
'It's just not fair.' She thought. 'I wish it was me instead of her.'
Kim went out the door, and got in her car. For a moment she just sat there. As she looked out upon the road, she pictured Trini's accident. It was so clear. Kim started to cry again. She tried to pull herself together for her friends, but it was no use. She started the car, and started toward the Angel Grove Juice Bar. She cried the whole way there, and still couldn't stop even though she was there. It surprised her that she even made to the Juice Bar. She got out, and went inside. She saw Billy sitting alone at one of the tables in the corner. She immeadiately ran over to him, and hugged him as tight as she could. He hugged her back as she cried uncontrolably in his arms. When they parted, Billy sat down and Kim sat in the seat across from him. She could tell that he had definately been crying.
"Oh, Kim." Billy said tring to find the words to say to her that would comfort her.
She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Her mouth was moving like she was talking, but she wasn't. The tears kept coming, and she kept crying. Finally, she laid her head on the table, and continued to cry her heart out. At that moment, Tommy, Kat, Tanya, Jason, and Zack came in. They saw Billy and walked over to him. Kim thought she heard someone walking toward them, so she raised her head up. Nobody knew what to say. Nobody knew what to do. Kim stood up, and jumped into Jason's arms. Jason hugged her a tight as he could, and he rubbed her back. Then, she pulled back and hugged Zack. Zack was trying to get her to stop crying, but nothing could make her stop.
After they pulled away, Zack asked, "Kim, could Jason and I talk to you for a minute?"
Kim nodded her head, and they went off into a corner.
"Kim...We have something we need to tell you." Jason said motioning for Zack to go ahead.
"Trini's last words were 'Tell Kimmy that she'll always be my Best Friend no matter what, and not to worry because I'm going to a better place.'"
Kim closed her eyes, and slowly slid down the wall in which she was leaning on. She curled up into a ball, and sobbed loudly.
"And Kim, we were wondering if you would sing a song at her funeral. After all, you were her Best Friend." Jason said.
Kim slowly raised her head, and said, "I don't know."
"Please Kim. You know how she loved to hear you sing."
"Okay. I'll try."
They went back over to the table where Billy and the rest of the gang were.
"Although I never knew her, I'm sure she was a great person." Said Kat.
"You don't know the half of it." Kim said. "She was amazing. Always caring for others. Always smiling." Kim's voice was breaking; and it sounded as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
"Yeah. I never met her either, but, from what I've heard, she sounds like she was one of the best people a person could meet." Said Tanya.
"She truly was." Said Tommy.
"When's the funeral going to be?" Kim asked suddenly changing the subject.
"The funeral service is going to be tomorrow night at 6:30."
Kim nodded, and went to her car. She drove back to her apartment, and got out the CD's that were in her briefcase. She knew the perfect song to sing. Back at the Juice Bar, Tommy asked Jason and Zack what they were talking to Kim about when they took her aside.
"We asked her to sing, and we told her what Trini's last words were."
"What were they?" Billy asked.
"They were 'Tell Kimmy that she'll always be my Best Friend no matter what, and not to worry because I'm going to a better place.'"
"Oh..." Kat said bowing her head and closing her eyes.
"I still can't believe that this happened." Tommy said disbelivingly.
"Me either." Billy said below his breath.
Back at her hotel room, Kim dug through her CD's. She finally picked out the one with the song she wanted to sing on it. After placing it aside, she laid down on her bed. Thoughts of Trini raced rapidly through her head. She looked at her clock. It was only 8:30. She jumped up, grabbed her keys, got in her car, and headed for Jason's house. Once she got there, she knocked on the door.
Jason opened it, saw that it was Kim, and said, "Hey Kim. Come on in."
She gratefully nodded her head, and came inside.
"So, what are you doing here?"
"I just didn't feel like being alone right now."
"I know what you mean."
"Will you tell me about it?" Kim asked.
Jason just stood there for a moment, then gestured for her to sit down on the couch. She did, and he sat down in his chair, and sighed.
"It all happened so fast." He started. "I got the phone call at about 3:15 this morning. It was from Zack. He said he was coming home late from work. He said that as he got closer to the apartments where we all stayed, he heard sirens. Suddenly, he rounded a corner, and there were ambulances and policemen. He pulled his car over to the side of the road, and asked one of the policemen what was going on. The policeman told him that there was a car wreck. As he got closer, he saw Trini's car turned over off the side of the road. He yelled her name, and ran over to the ambulance where the paramedics were taking her. She was still alive, but barely. That's when Zack called me on his cell phone. I rushed out of bed, and drove as fast as I could to the location Zack gave me. I got there, and Zack and I got in the ambulance with Trini. The paramedics said that it was a miracle that she was still alive."
"Oh my God..."
Jason continued, "Zack and I started to talk to her. She was disorented, but she could still talk properly. She said she had major pains in her stomach, and head. She said she felt like she was going to die." Jason's voice started to break, and he cleard his throat and went on. "We told her to hang on, that she was almost to the hospital. She told us to tell you that you were her Best Friend and not to worry because she was going to a better place. We told her that she wasn't going to die, that she was to young and that it wasn't her time. But our words didn't help her. She could tell by the look on the paramedics faces that she was not going to make it. So she took my hand and Zack's hand, and told us that she would always be here with us. That we would have to be strong, no matter what. She said she knew that she was going to die, and that she could already see the angels welcoming her home."
Jason stopped for a moment, and closed his eyes. He took several deep breaths and started again.
"Then, we heard a flatline. The paramedics pushed us back, and tried to shock her heart. It was too late. She was...gone."
Jason put his head in his hands, and started to cry. Kim went over to him and hugged him. They both cried in each other's arms.
"She can't be gone, Kim. She just can't."
Kim looked up at the ceiling as the tears streamed down her face. After taking a deep breath, she hugged Jason again.
"I know, Jase. I know."
"There must have been somethiung that I could have done. Something that I could have done to save her."
"You couldn't have saved her. None of us could have."
Kim and Jason pulled apart, and Kim got up.
"I have to go." Kim said.
"Yeah. I'll see ya tomorrow."
As Kim was driving to her hotel, she thought, 'Tomorrow's gonna be really hard...for all of us.'
