I finally got chap. 7 done!
Ok, I know: "What took you so long Amy?" Well, my family suffered a tragic loss on April 30, so I was really in no mood to write and then I have two research papers. One in computer class (TEC) and the other in English class.
But I've finally got it done and it isn't very short either!
Thanks to:
awardwinningwriter828: I see your point, but in an abusive relationship the person slowly takes control of the other person (in this case Kim). They eventually control every aspect of their lives and the victim doesn't even notice it. They won't fight back. Now it happens MUCH slower than this, but this is a fanfic, so I can't make it too long! lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Mr. Elliot: I like the idea of them working together too! Thanks for your review and patience!
WolfBane2: Please don't do something bad to my insides! lol. It's not a quick update, but it's an update none the less right?
Balthezor: Thanks for your review! I tried to update sooner, but as I said before, it didn't work out too well.
sailingking and roaming gnome: Yes, he is evil! Mwhahaha!
KPKrazy 400: Don't call me a creep! Daughter of you-know-who with you-might-not-remember who else! Liz chases Amy Ahhh! runs away
Comes back Ok, pant here is the next chapter. Now, I gotta run before Liz kills me! Ahhh! Runs off
Chapter 7: Confrontation
"Well, this is it." Shego informed Ron as she stopped on the sidewalk just outside a house.
The house itself wasn't very big, but it was well kept.
"You sure this is the place?" Ron asked. He had been expecting something run-down, maybe like an old trailer that should have been condemned years ago.
However, this place was, well, very nice.
"Yes I'm sure!" Shego snapped, her black hair being blow into her face by a sudden wind.
"Ok, ok!" Ron exclaimed.
Shego rolled her eyes and curtly brushed her hair back out of her face.
"So, what's our first move?" Ron asked.
Shego blinked her eyes a couple of times and tried to let his question sink in. Nobody had let her just take command like that. She was used to receiving orders, then doing whatever. She was never asked to come up with the plan.
Of course, neither was the buffoon.
"Shego? Hello?" Ron asked.
"I'm thinking!" Shego snapped. "Ok. Well, if we can just get-"
Shego was interrupted by a shout coming from inside the house.
"Do you think I'm a brutal monster?!"
"Morris!" Ron exclaimed.
"He sounds just like his brother." Shego commented under her breath.
They both ran toward the house and leaned up just underneath the window.
Ron peeked inside the window just in time to see Morris glaring at Kim. Kim was on the floor, cowering away from him. A huge, black bruise covered the left side of her face.
"He hit her!" Ron yelled, furious. Shego was startled. She had never seen the buffoon this angry. "And now he's trying to patch things up with her! That . . . that . . . monster!!" Ron's face started turning red with anger.
But he was furious. Kim was his best friend and he never wanted to see her get hurt - especially from something like this.
Ron stood up.
"What are you doing?!" Shego demanded.
Ron didn't answer and headed toward the door.
Shego grabbed him and pulled him back. "Where do you think you're going?!"
"I'm going to help Kim." Ron shot back.
Shego yanked him off his feet. "No." she hissed. "You can't just barge in there!"
"And why not?" Ron demanded, sitting up.
Shego gave an angry sigh and glared at him. "Well, for starters, didn't you tell me that every time you tried to confront Kimmie about Morris, she got mad at you?"
"Yeah . . ." Ron replied, not sure where she was going with this.
"How do you think she's going to react when you barge in there after they made up?" Shego asked.
Ron considered that. "All right, all right. Point taken." he said reluctantly. "So how are we going to get inside?"
A small smile spread across Shego's lips. "Leave that to me."
Kim was listening to Morris talk about his old school and how he played on the football team.
Even though she tried to focus on what he was saying, she found herself trying harder to ignore this back feeling that kept creeping into the pit of her stomach. She found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying to her.
Kim kept finding her mind wandering back to when Morris hit her. It had just been an honest mistake, hadn't it?
Her heart told her yes and to forget about it, but her mind was screaming no - that it was a bad relationship she was in, just like Ron was saying.
Kim wasn't sure which to believe. She had a lot of common sense, but everyone said to "follow your heart" and "let your heart be your guide".
Kim's thoughts drifted over to Ron. She realized how little of him she had been seeing him lately - she missed him.
Then again, she was making her boyfriend out to be some sort of monster.
"Kim?! Are you even listening to me?!" Morris demanded, breaking her train of thought.
"Huh? Oh sorry." Kim replied. "I guess I just got lost in my thoughts."
"But I was talking to you." Morris said.
Kim felt guilty. "I'm sorry."
Morris sighed angrily. "Well maybe you-"
He was interrupted by a familiar figure banging through the door.
"Shego?!" Kim and Morris exclaimed simultaneously. They looked at each other. "You know her?!"
"She's somebody I defeat frequently when she helps Dr. Drakken try to take over the world." Kim said. "How do you know her?"
"Many years ago she dated my older bro." Morris said. "She broke his heart when she refused his marriage proposal." He shot a glare at Shego.
Shego returned it and said: "There was no way I was going to marry a guy that slapped me around. Besides, I was 19, I had my whole life ahead of me." Shego said curtly, never taking her eyes off Morris.
Kim looked from Morris to Shego and back again, momentarily confused. Then she asked: "What are you doing here Shego?"
Shego tore her glare from Morris and looked at Kim. "Why do you need to know?"
Kim glared back at her. "Well, it seems like an odd coincidence that you just happened to know I was here with Morris. What are you trying to do, get rid of me?"
"Psh!" Shego rolled her eyes. "Like I would waste my time with that!"
"KP!"
Kim looked behind Shego to see Ron running into the room.
"Ron?" Kim asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Out!" Morris shouted at Ron and Shego. "Both of you get out of here!"
Shego shot him a challenging glare. "Make us."
"I will!" Morris yelled as he grabbed the phone. "I'll call the police."
"Morris -" Kim was about to reason with him but Shego interrupted.
"No, Kimmie, let him." Shego said, looking at Morris. "And while your at it, you can explain to them why Kimmie's face is bruised."
Morris slammed the phone back into it's cradle.
Kim looked at Shego suspiciously. What was she doing here and why was Ron working with her?
While Shego and Morris were having a stare-down, Ron crept over to Kim.
"Kim, please, leave this guy and come back with me." Ron said. "Any guy that hits you doesn't deserve you. Please Kim, please! You deserve so much better!" he pleaded.
When Kim looked into Ron's face, she knew that he was speaking from his heart. His face showed evidence of sleepless nights, his eyes reflected his worry.
No, Ron wasn't jealous of Morris, he was worried about her - Kim, his best friend.
It was almost like a curtain lifted from in front of Kim's eyes. She was able to see through Morris and his lies and saw what was underneath her nose all along.
Kim flung her arms around Ron's neck. "I'm so sorry Ron. Sorry for the way I've been acting, for the way I treated you and for not realizing this before."
Ron was caught surprise when Kim hugged him, but soon somewhat regained his composure but not before he blushed. "Aw, KP, it's not your fault. You ain't got anything to be sorry for."
Kim let go of Ron. "Thanks Ron."
"No big." Ron commented.
Kim smiled at him, then looked at Morris and glared. She flipped and landed beside Shego.
Morris looked at her. "Kim . . ."
"Save it Morris!" Kim cut him off. "I'm not taking it any longer!"
"What on earth is going on out here?!" came another male voice.
"Frank." Shego hissed like it was a curse.
Frank walked into the room and stopped when he saw Shego. "Shego." he hissed back. The two glared at each other, anger surging in their eyes.
Kim thought that the anger in Shego's green eyes was greater than Frank's.
"What are you doing here?" Frank asked in a hiss.
"That's none of your business now, is it?" Shego snapped.
"You're messing with my brother - I think it is my business." Frank snapped back.
"That's the trouble with you Frank, you think that things are true when their nothing more than a fat pack of lies." Shego spat.
"And you know what your problem is? You think you're the 'big, bad girl' around, and your nothing more than a wuss." Frank snarled.
Kim knew Shego's reaction to that statement was going to be far from pretty - very far. Shego ignited her glowing hands.
"That didn't work before Shego, and it's not going to now." Frank commented.
"Do you wanna stake your life on that?" Shego asked coldly.
The statement not only surprised Frank and Morris, but Kim and Ron as well. Shego struck out with her foot, making it sink into Frank's stomach. His breath left him as he fell onto the floor.
Morris came to help his brother, but Shego just slapped him on the side of the face.
"How do you like it Morris?!" Shego spat in a terrible rage.
Kim made a mental note to never get Shego that mad at her as she flipped beside the now very angry Shego. Shego looked at Kim, and Kim looked back at her. Without saying a word to each other, they flipped closer to the two brothers that had struggled back to their feet. Kim and Shego stood in their fighting positions and waited for the Richards brothers to make their move.
Morris and Frank lashed out with their fists, but Kim and Shego dodged their clumsy blows.
"That's the best you can do?" Shego said in her taunting manner.
"Even Ron can hit better than that!" Kim commented.
"Hey! Was that a shot?" Ron exclaimed from behind them.
"No!" Kim replied. "Sorry Ron, I didn't mean it like that!"
"Apology accepted KP." Ron replied.
Kim blocked another blow from Morris. Kim looked over to Shego attacking more than she was defending. Kim knew that this could be a bad mistake unless you have someone to back you up, so Kim took up the defense - blocking blows that would have probably knocked out Shego if she had been fighting alone.
When Shego realized what Kim was doing for her, she mentally scolded herself for being so careless and not protecting herself.
Shego turned her attacking down a notch and started to defend herself a little more.
This freed Kim up to do some more attacking.
However, as Kim turned to face Morris, she saw that he was nowhere to be seen.
"Kim, look out!" Ron called behind her. Kim spun around just in time to see Morris standing behind her holding a baseball bat over her head. Kim knew that she would never be able to move out of the way before Morris clubbed her in the head.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the bat came toward her head.
Out of the corner of her eye, Kim saw Ron run toward Morris. Time seemed to speed back up as Ron tackled Morris and the two fell to the ground. Morris' head struck the floor and he was knocked out.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time." Ron remarked as he stood up.
Kim smiled at Ron, then turned to Shego ready to offer her assistance. But Kim knew that she wasn't going to be needed when a carefully aimed kick from Shego sent Frank flying into a wall - knocking him out as well.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time." Shego said.
Both Shego and Kim were drenched in sweat and were breathing hard, but Shego looked satisfied and Kim looked like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Kim hugged Ron again. When she pulled away from him, she kissed him on the cheek. Ron turned beat-red, blushing. Kim laughed as she realized that she had the best friend in the world.
