Disclaimer: Saban owns all PR material and characters. I am just borrowing them and writing a fanfic about them because I am bored and I need something to do. I own all characters I make up myself, however. Please, oh, please don't sue me.
Distribution: Anywhere as long as I am informed first.
Rating: R for language, adult situations, and other stuff I decide to throw your way.
Time Line: This story takes place four years after Kim left for Florida. Kim did break up with Tommy and they are dating other people in this fanfic. No one made her write "The Letter" or anything like that. She really did meet someone new. Most of the characters are 22, and some are 23. Okay, that's good enough I guess.
My Notes: Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed this fanfic. But I have to ask one question...Did the last chapter suck really bad or something? I hope you like this chapter. It should be a little longer than the last one. Please read and review this one. Thanks. ~Morgan~

Kat's Apartment
Monday, September 23, 2000 11:59 P.M.
Angel Grove, Ca
Tommy pushed open the large oak door and immediately heard the steady banging of something against a wall down the hallway. Cautiously, he made his way to stand in front of Kat's bedroom door. Anger flooded his entire body as the sounds of moaning and soft cries filled his ears. Although him and Kat had not made love yet, they had come close more than a few times. He would know her voice and bedroom noises anywhere and he was pissed to hear someone else's other than his mixed with her own.
Grabbing the cold, metal door knob, he tried to calm himself for the inevitable. He swung the door open and as it banged hard into the wall behind it, both Kat and Trevor whipped their heads around to look at the very angry man standing in the doorway.
"Oh shit," Trevor said as he recognized Tommy. He rolled off Kat's sweaty body and covered himself up with her floral comforter. Kat sat up also masking her own body under the cotton shield.
"Oh, God Tommy. I am so sorry. Really, I am. I'm so drunk right now and it just happened."
Tommy totally ignored her apologies and stared deep into Trevor's eyes, scaring the shit out of him with his own dark brown ones. The rage was evident therein. He could read Tommy's eyes like a book. If looks could kill, Trevor would be six feet under right about now.
"Get up, get dressed, and get the hell out of here," Tommy commanded, his voice steady and calm, but his body looking to kill with his clenching and unclenching fists and his jaw locked solidly.
Trevor looked to Kat amidst the scattered blankets. She was just sitting there, completely quiet, her head buried deep in her hands.
"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!...NOW," Tommy screamed as he yanked Trevor off the bed and pushed him into her dresser hard. The impact knocked all of the perfume bottles and various items sitting on it over, which he made no move to pick up. Tommy grabbed him solidly by the throat and slammed his back up against a near by wall. Getting in his face Tommy told him like it was.
"If you ever, EVER come back here again and I see you, you are dead. Nobody fucks my girlfriends behind my back...and most importantly, nobody fucks with KIM! You are a sorry excuse for a human being Trevor, and if you hurt Kim with all this bullshit like you have hurt me, I will personally track you down and wreak havoc on you. Do you understand me?!"
He nodded his head, confirming that he had understood and heard him loud and clear. "Yeah, ca..can I go now?" Trevor was scared. So scared that he was literally shaking.
Tommy released him and dropped him to the floor. Trevor gathered his belongings in a hurry and left the apartment.
"And you...I can't even look at you Katherine. After four years and all the shit we have been through together, you betray me by sleeping with that...that pompous asshole. I'm not even going to mention Kim. Did you ever once stop and think about how she would take this? They are engaged to be married by the end of the year Katherine. But I guess that doesn't matter to you. Some friend you are. You better hope she doesn't come over here and beat the shit out of you, because she is going to be so pissed. I bet she kicks your ass when she finds out."
"She doesn't have to know Tommy," Kat sputtered, knowing that Kim could take her out in one swing. "We can work this out..." Kat pleaded to him as she stood up, a sheet wrapped around her bare body.
He glared at her. "She doesn't have to know?! What the hell are you talking about Katherine? Of course she is going to find out, because I am going over there to talk to her about this so she knows what a dumb ass she is about to marry. Were you not going to tell me either? Was that your big plan? To sleep with some guy behind my back and hope that I didn't find out? Did you really believe I wouldn't learn of this little escapade? I mean, really, come on now. How long have you two been fucking? How many other guys have you slept with Kat? You were always the one who said you wanted to wait until your wedding night to have sex and I respected that. You were always the one to get pissed off at me because I had slept with Kim already, so now you are a freaking hypocrite. Good Lord, Katherine, you could have told me if you thought I wasn't good enough for you at the beginning and I wouldn't have wasted my time," Tommy yelled, not letting her get a word in edgewise.
She was crying by now. "I'm sorry Tommy. I didn't plan on this happening. We were just drinking a little and having a good time. I really do love you Tommy. You really are too good for me. You deserve to be happy and I couldn't make that happen for you. But, I know there was a time when you were happy with me, so why can't we go back to the way things were back then?" He gave her a 'yeah right Kat' look at that one. "I still love you Tommy. Please, please forgive me." She tried to grab his hand but Tommy pulled away from her. He wanted to get away from her, not liking her too much right about now.
"You know what Kat?" He was calm now, a sense of peace coming over him for a second. " I AM too good for you and that's the truth. I would have NEVER cheated on you or betrayed one of my best friends. That is why I am going to tell Kim how I feel about her when she is ready to hear me. I hope you and Trevor have a nice life together. Good-bye, Katherine."
Tommy stormed out of her small apartment and walked down the road, his body fading in the darkness. Kat just sat by her living room window, crying and alone.

West Inn Resort Room 453
Tuesday, September 24, 2000 12:18 A.M.
Angel Grove, Ca
Trevor slipped the little plastic card into the key slot and waited for the small light to flash green for go. He grasped the door handle and let himself in, so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice Kim sitting in the dark by the window at a small table waiting up on him to get home. From where she did not know. She had called the bar he was supposed to have been at, and they had closed at ten.
'There is no reason to turn into a jealous girlfriend yet. I mean fiancee. I can't believe we are actually engaged and that I will be married at the end of the year. I have waited my whole life to meet the man of my dreams and now I finally have... The three of them probably just lost track of time when they went out for a late night snack after the bar shut down or something...'
'What do I say to her? Do I just act like nothing even happened and try to salvage our relationship, or do I come out and tell her the truth right when I see her? I bet she is probably still asleep so maybe I will tell her in the morning...No, I won't tell her. What she doesn't know won't hurt her and we will be able to be together without me hurting her. I know that her father cheated on her mother and that's why they got divorced so I don't think she will handle this very well. I think it is best that she didn't even know what went on between Kat and me...Then again, Tommy will probably tell her about it. I know he still loves her, but she is mine and I'm not letting her go without a fight. He would do anything to get her back, and why wouldn't he? She is a beautiful, smart, vibrant young woman and I have been a fool doing what I did. But, I did like it. I can't deny that. Sure, I may have made one little mistake, but she will forgive me won't she? I am all she has left...'
"Where have you been? I have been waiting up for you."
Her voice startled him and he turned to the black corner where she sat. He reached over to the night stand and flipped on the lamp that sat on it. She was sitting in one of the chairs, her legs curled up underneath her, in silk pajamas. The same ones she had been wearing all day since that morning.
"Oh, I'm sorry Baby. We went out for coffee and I lost track of time. I didn't think it would keep you up because I thought you would be sleeping." He shrugged of his jacket and took his shirt off, revealing his muscular chest. What he didn't know was that Kat had left a little something behind on the back of his neck.
"Yeah, I was, but some motorcycles passed by here and woke me up and I got worried when you weren't back since it was so late." She got up and walked over to him. He shifted from foot to foot, an old nervous habit she knew all too well. "What's wrong Trevor?"
"Oh, nothing. Everything is great. I just want to take a shower and go to bed...I'm so tired." She caught his hand in her own and pulled him close to her. She reached up and gave him a kiss on the lips. Her eyes opened as she smelt the sweet perfume abide over his figure.
"Why do you smell like flowers Trevor?"
"Oh, this middle-aged woman squirted her perfume at the club and I guess the scent it still lingering on me. You know how some people are... They don't care if they get everyone around them or squirt fifty gallons into the air. It was bad Baby, we had to switch tables it was so bad."
"I bet." She released him and he turned to walk to the bathroom, as calmly and coolly as he could.
That's when she saw it. The big, red mark on the back of his neck. She KNEW she had not done that. They hadn't slept together in five days, not including this morning, and she did not do that to him. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes as she realized it had to have come from someone else.
"Trevor...? How could you?" She burst into tears and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her, before he could even turn around and look at her.
"Kim? Baby, what's wrong? Are you okay Honey? Talk to me," Trevor said as he banged on the bathroom door, not knowing that she knew he had been fooling around on her.
"NO! GO AWAY TREVOR! I don't want to talk to you. I can't believe you did this to me. After four years..."
"Kim? What are you talking about?" Trevor played dumb, hoping that he could calm her down and lie his way out of this one.
She didn't answer, but he could hear her sniffling from inside the door. He heard her dialing the phone that was by the toilet in there, not knowing who she was calling. Then, he heard the phone slam back onto it's base.
'Oh, shit. How did she find out? I bet Tommy called and told her or something, that Bastard. I can't lose her...what will the guys back in Florida think?'
"Kim...come on, let me in. What's your problem?"
The door was yanked open and her head popped out. She already had tears spilling from her eyes, but she did not look happy at all. "YOU! You are my problem! I trusted you. Where did you get that hickey? I know I did not give it to you. How could you cheat on me Trevor? You said that you would never hurt me. We were supposed to be married this year for crying out loud..."
"What?! Kimberly, what are you talking about? I didn't cheat on you and you know I didn't. I love you Baby and I would never do anything to hurt you..." He tried to touch her face, but she slammed the door into his knee and as he was bent over rubbing it she kicked him in the face. She made her way over to the king sized bed at sat down there, staring at him.
"DAMN IT KIMBERLY! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?! I THINK YOU JUST BROKE MY NOSE!" It was bleeding and he went into the bathroom to grab a towel to out pressure on it.
"Well, mission accomplished I guess. Who was it? Don't stare at me like I am a damn moron Trevor, you're busted. I want to know who it was."
"...You don't know her Beautiful," he lied, looking her right in the eyes, not caring about her hurt expression.
"Don't call me that. Only one person is allowed to call me that and he isn't you. At least he treated me with respect. He would have never cheated on me with some girl he met in a bar."
"I'm sorry Kim. I want us to be together. We can get through this, I promise. We'll get you some counseling and we will get over this and move on."
Kim laughed right in his face, thinking his statement was hilarious. "Trevor, do you honestly think I am going to stay with you after what you did? You lied to me, you betrayed me, and you hurt me. Please Trevor, wake up and get a fucking clue. We are OVER. Don't call me, don't speak to me, and don't try to get me back, because it will not happen."
"Okay, Kim. Do you think we would ever have chance after you get your shit together?" He honestly thought she was the problem here. What a jerk.
"Get out of here Trevor, and take all your crap with you. I don't ever want to see your sorry ass again."
"Fine, I'll go. But we are going to talk about this Kim, I'm not losing you without a fight..."
"You come back here and I'll kick your ass even more then I just did and then call the cops and get a restraining order against you."
He didn't say anything, he just got his stuff and left, going to the front office to get his own hotel room for the rest of the night.
'I'll just come back and try to get her to listen tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'll just settle for Kat because it doesn't look like her and Tommy have a chance.'
When the hotel room slammed shut, Kimberly just totally fell apart. She flopped back onto the bed and cried, her heart broken again. Here she was, twenty-two years old, she had just broken off her engagement to the man she was supposed to have been able to trust, with no job and hardly no money.
'Shit, how am I ever going to afford to get a place out here by myself? I can't even afford this hotel room and I don't even have a job lined up here yet. I'm so screwed.'
*****
In the next chapter:
Kim finds out who Trevor cheated on her with. (Yes, there will be some hair pulling because that is always fun to read about.)
Tommy comes clean with Kim about his feelings for her.
Some other stuff that I have not thought up yet...
Okay, that's another chapter finished. I hope you guys liked it and I hope I get more reviews for this chapter than I did the last one. I would have had this one posted sooner but it seems that my computer sucks and was not willing to let me log on for a couple days. ::Sigh:: Anyway, I hope you aren't mad that I am ragging on Kat so much, but I may decide to be nice to her character at the end...Who knows right? PLEASE read and review. I am seriously thinking about not continuing this one because I am having major writers block, though I kind of know where I want to take it. They never turn out the way you want them to, am I right? ~Morgan~
