Jimmy walked outside of the fire station. He was going over to Kim's house like he promised. "Hey Jimmy. A few of us are going out to get some drinks. Want to come?" Joe asked .
"I don't know I promised Kim I'd spend time with her," Jimmy said.
"You and Kim have spent every night together. I don't think she'd mind you hanging out with your friends for one night," Joe said.
Jimmy thought for a second. "Yeah I'll come," Jimmy said.
Kim looked at her watch. It was ten thirty. Jimmy was supposed to be here two and a half hours ago. Kim picked up the phone and dialed Jimmy's cell. "Hello," Jimmy said into the phone.
"Hey. Where are you?" Kim asked. She was worried about him when he didn't show up.
"I'm with a few friends," Jimmy answered. He could hear the disappointment in her voice.
"I thought you were going to come over tonight," Kim said softly.
"I'll come over tomorrow," Jimmy said. He hoped Kim wouldn't be mad at him over something this stupid.
"Well can't you come over now?" Kim asked upset.
"Kim don't do this. I said I'd come over tomorrow okay. Just let it go," Jimmy said.
"Jimmy you promised you'd come over tonight. I had plans for us," Kim said.
"Well we'll do something tomorrow," Jimmy replied getting annoyed. He didn't know why Kim was making a big deal about this.
"You know what Jimmy fine. Just have fun with your friends and don't even bother to come over tomorrow," Kim yelled. She spent all this time getting things ready and he wouldn't even come over. She wanted tonight to be so special and so perfect and now it wasn't because they were fighting.
"Fine Kim I won't," Jimmy yelled back and hung up the phone.
"Kim mad?" Joe asked.
"Yeah. I don't know why. All I did was go out with some friends and she can't even handle that. I'm starting to think this was a mistake. I think she doesn't trust me. I mean why else would she make a big deal about me not being there with her tonight?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask her that tomorrow?" Joe said.
"Yeah I will," Jimmy said and got another beer.
Kim sat on the couch crying. She knew she had made to big of a deal about this. She knew that Jimmy was mad at her and would probably never talk to her again. Kim got up and grabbed her keys. She decided to go over and talk to Alex. She knew Alex would be able to help her and give her some good advice. And she also didn't want to be alone tonight.
Kim walked up to Alex's door and knocked softly. Alex answered the door and saw Kim there with red and puffy eyes. She could tell that Kim had been crying. Kim what's wrong?" Alex asked.
"Jimmy and I had a fight," Kim said. Trying not to cry again.
"Why don't you come and we'll talk?" Alex said softly.
Kim walked in and sat down on the couch with Alex. "So what happened?" Alex asked.
"Well Jimmy said that he wanted to spend some time alone. And since I had the day off I dropped Joey off at my mom's made dinner and all that stuff, and Jimmy doesn't come over. So after two hours of worrying about him I call his cell and he said he was out with friends. And then that's when the fight started. Jimmy's mad at me and it's all my fault Alex," Kim said crying again.
"No, Kim it's not your fault. You were just upset and Jimmy probably didn't figure out that you had plans for tonight. He probably also just wanted to take a break from spending time with you. You guys have spent time together this whole week and last week," Alex pointed out.
"Yeah probably," Kim said. What Alex said made a lot of sense. She felt much better after talking to her.
"Why don't you stay here tonight?" Alex asked. She didn't think it'd be a good idea for Kim to drive in this condition.
"Yeah okay," Kim said. She would talk to Jimmy tomorrow.
