Chapter 3

1 am

Tommy had to fight Kimberly from getting into her car. He actually pulled her from the car, taking her keys. She punched him and stormed away. Tommy took a deep breath and held his jaw. A little blood came from his mouth. Tommy gave her a little head start before chasing after her. Kimberly stopped at a park. She collapsed to a swing. Tommy sat the far end of the set.

"Why are you following me?" Kim said after a long silence.

"I think someone spiked your drinks."

"Whatever, just fucking go. I don't need you."

"Okay." Tommy sat there lightly swinging. 10 minutes later, Kimberly looked over at him. She sighed. Tommy looked over to see her closing her eyes. "Oh, no!" He rushed to her. "You can't fall asleep. " She pushed his hands away.

"Fucking leave!" Tommy moved into the swing beside her. Opposite her direction

"After you." She grabbed the chain and went to stand. She fell back down, Tommy caught her by the back and held her up in the swing.

"Ow." She touched her head. "Fucking bitches." Tommy held her by her back to sit up straight. Kimberly moved from his hand. "Fucking don't touch me, not ever again."

"Fine." Tommy held on to the chains.

Another 20 minutes later, Tommy was holding Kim's hair back as she puked. She had puked at the swing, then went to walk it off, only to run to a trash can. Tommy was lucky, he had moved just before she started puking at the swings. He jumped back and held her up in the swing as she puked. Tommy slowly walked her over a fountain. After a handful of tasting the water, he allowed her. Kimberly would spit loads of water out to get the nasty taste out.

"Here," Tommy said handing her a piece of gum. She took it.

"Thanks."

"YW." She smiled and they went over to a bench with on back. Tommy sat there staring ahead as Kimberly had her back to him. They hadn't spoke for nearly 5 minutes.

"Why are you here?"

"I made the biggest mistake of my life letting you walk out that door last Sunday." She turned to him. "I shouldn't have doubted us, I should have took you in my arms, held you close and told you how right you are. I love you and this past week, withoutyou, the worst of my life. I know now, this is all my fault, Beautiful. From the first moment we were together, I should have ran to Katherine and told her the truth. I was afraid. She has been like my security blanket and I didn't want to lose it. But you are more important and it's time I made it clear to everyone." She touched his face. "Please forgive me for my foolishness." She took his hand and kissed his hand.

"Only if you promise this is forever."

"Oh, Beautiful, much longer." He held her face and kissed her deeply. They slowly laid down on the bench, still kissing. They ended up falling asleep on that bench after making love.

3:25 am

Tommy woke up feeling a warm breath against his chest. He rubbed Kim's bare back, as she slept on her side against his body. He looked at his watch. Though he didn't want to move, he knew it wouldn't be great to get caught in this position by a cop or another student.

"Baby, wake up." She moaned, her arm moved from his stomach to his chest. "Beautiful, we can't stay here." He sat up and reached for his clothes. Kimberly groaned and turned away from him. Tommy kissed her shoulder. "I wish we could stay too." She sat up, still sleepily. She stretched causing Tommy to kiss her. She started laughing. "Let's go."

"Okay." They got dressed. "God, my feet and calves are burning!" She stopped, grabbing Tommy's arm. He waited as her boots came off. He bent down and allowed her to get on his back. They were closer to the boys' loft than going back to get their cars. It was still a 20 minute walk. "Think everyone is waiting on us?"

"I don't see Jason's car. Or Rocky's jeep." They took the elevator up to the top apartment. The boys' loft had 4 bedrooms. Jason had the loft bedroom, which was the only open one. Adam and Rocky had their own with a bathroom in between down on the left. Tommy's bedroom was down from the kitchen to the right with his own bathroom. Tommy quietly opened the door. There was no one around. They went to his room.

"Think they are worried?"
"Probably." Tommy pulled off his shirt. "Want a shirt?"

"Nah. You ripped my skirt."

"Where?" She showed the slight slit on the side. "Looks nice."

"You owe me a new skirt."

"Gladly." He pulled her to him as she stood naked with him. "Come, let's sleep."

"Sleep, us, yea right." Tommy laughed. They kissed and fell to his bed. Tommy hated how she was always so right.

Teaser: "Hey, wait. We have been up all night worrying about you!" Rocky said.
"I never asked you to."
"Okay, dickhead," Jason said coming over.
"Like he said, what's going on here. Katherine was really scared and worried, you should go apologize." Rocky looked into Tommy's slightly open door. The half naked woman with the sheets bunched around her waist, caused Rocky to stare. "No way, dude." Jason stopped before Tommy could quickly close his door. Kimberly moaned and turned to her back. Jason gasped, only to be shoved away as Tommy closed his door.
"That had better not be Kimberly."
