Kim and Bosco decided to go to a bar after work. Actually it was Bosco's idea. Kim knew that something was bothering him. She just couldn't figure out what. It was driving her crazy not knowing. Bosco had already had five beers. She looked up at him and he was ordering another beer.
"Bosco, please tell me what's wrong. You can tell me anything you know? I hate seeing you like this," Kim said. She took his hand in hers and smiled at him softly. Bosco just looked down at his empty beer bottle. Kim wouldn't understand. She wouldn't know what it was like to lose her best friend. She had Bobby. Sometimes he wondered about them two. He looked up at her. She looked concerned about him. Well he didn't need it. He threw some money down and stormed out of the bar. Kim got up and ran after him.
"Bosco please don't do this. We don't have to talk about what's bothering you if you don't want to. Just please don't be mad at me," Kim said. She stood there and watched as Bosco got in his car and left her standing there alone. She stood there for five minutes thinking about what had happened. She took out her cell phone and dialed Bobby's number.
"Hello," Bobby said into his phone.
"Hey, it's Kim. Would you mind picking me up from Hagerty's?" Kim asked. She knew she'd have to explain this one to Bobby and he'd say that he warned her. She just didn't feel like being alone right now.
"Sure. I'll be there in a few," Bobby said. Kim sat down on the curb waiting for Bobby. Why wouldn't Bosco open up to her? She thought that he trusted her. Maybe it had to do with Faith. Maybe he wanted to be with Faith and was using her. She had to stop thinking like this. She was just confused. She saw bobby's car pull up and got up off the ground. Bobby opened the door from the inside and she got in.
"So, what happened? You couldn't ask Bosco to give you a ride? I mean how many nights have you tow gone out?" Bobby asked. He stopped smiling when he noticed Kim wasn't and looked even more miserable than she had when he picked her up.
"He left me here. I asked him what was bothering him. He was silent for a few minutes. Than he stormed out and left me," Kim replied. She started to cry. Bobby stopped the car and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry Kim. I didn't know. I wouldn't have said anything about that if I did," Bobby said gently rubbing her shoulder. He didn't know if he should be doing that but it seemed to calm her a bit.
"It's okay. I know you didn't. I just don't know why he wont talk to me. Do you think he might be seeing someone else? Do you think he's seeing Faith?" Kim asked. She looked at Bobby with sad, heavy eyes. His heart broke to see her like this. She really liked Bosco. Bosco was going to pay for hurting Kim like this. Kim deserved better.
"Forget about Bosco. You deserve better. Do you want to go home or do you want to come to my place?" Bobby asked.
"Can I come over your place?" Kim asked. She didn't want to be alone tonight. And Bobby was her best friend. She could talk to him about anything.
"Of course," Bobby said. Kim took out her cell phone and asked if Joey could stay there for the night. She wasn't going to spend the night at Bobby's, but it'd be late when she left. It was five minutes to twelve already.
Bosco sat in front of his apartment thinking. He shouldn't have acted that way in front of Kim. She didn't deserve his attitude. All she wanted was to know what was wrong. She deserved better than a guy like him. He felt so bad. Kim was the best thing in his life. He wasn't going to let his anger of what Faith was doing screw that up. He drove his car over to Kim's and found out she wasn't there. He knew she wouldn't still be in front of the bar. He was such an idiot for leaving her there alone. What if something had happened to her? He'd never forgive himself. He finally thought to go to Kim's mothers. He got kind of jealous when he found out that Kim was at Bobby's. He drove over there in a hurry. He had to fix things.
Bobby leaned over and kissed Kim softly on the lips. He was surprised when she pulled away quickly. Then he remembered why she was here. She was upset about Bosco.
"Bobby, I don't like you that way. I'm sorry. Maybe I should just leave," Kim said. She was about to get off of the couch and leave but someone was knocking on Bobby's door. Bobby answered it and was surprised to see Bosco there.
"Is Kim here?" Bosco asked. He saw the disappointed look on Bobby's face. Everyone knew that Bobby loved Kim.
"Yeah, let me get her for you," Bobby said and told Kim that Bosco was at the door. Kim slowly walked over to the door. She wiped away the tears that had fallen down her face so Bosco wouldn't see them.
"Kim, I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier. I shouldn't have left you alone. I'm not mad at you Kim. I love you," Bosco said. He just realized what he had said, but it was the truth. He was happy he got that out. He saw the shocked look on Kim's face.
"I love you to," Kim said. She let Bosco pull her into his arms and kiss her cheek. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. She was so happy that he wasn't mad at her. She thought that she had done something wrong.
"I want to talk to you about what's bothering me. Can we go somewhere?" Bosco asked. He didn't know if her and Bobby were talking about something important or not.
"Sure," Kim said. They decided to go to the park. Where there relationship first started. They sat down on a bench and Kim leaned into his arms.
"So what happened today?" Kim asked. She looked at Bosco. He looked upset about something.
"Faith just told me she was quitting. She knew for a month and just told me today. She didn't give me any warning," Bosco said.
"I'm sorry. I know how close you and Faith are. Have you tried seeing why she's quitting?" Kim asked.
"Yeah. She said her and Fred talked about it and they both agreed it was the right thing," Bosco replied. He kissed Kim's forehead. He was so glad he didn't mess things up with her tonight. He just hoped that this wouldn't end. He cared about Kim so much. He didn't want to ever lose her.
