Chapter 2: Goodbye Angel Grove, Hello Reefside
Kimberly and Kylie had their little two room apartment packed up and into the moving van. Kimberly had sent out a notice to the parents that Kimberly picked out for the team telling them that the training would be at Reefside. They found a nice gym that would be perfect for the training. Since Kimberly had to quit her dream because she was pregnant, she wanted other girls to try and achieve the dream she once had.
Kimberly had her and Kylie's suitcases in the back of their car before getting in. "Is your seatbelt buckled?" She asked.
"Check," Kylie replied.
"All right, let's get this party started," Kimberly laughed.
Then they were off to Reefside with the moving van behind them.
When they got to Reefside, they drove to the apartment that Kimberly picked out. Kylie grabbed two of her suitcases and ran inside once Kimberly unlocked the door. She smiled at her little girl and saw a lot of her father in her. The thought of Tommy just made her heart beat faster. She still loved that man more than anything in the world. She then remembered the last night she spent with Tommy. During their last Christmas together. The night that Kylie was conceived.
(Flashback)
Tommy and Kimberly were lying in his bed with the radio softly playing, but they weren't paying any attention to it. They were staring at each other still feeling the tingle they had from making love for the first time since they have been together. "Tommy," she murmured.
"Hmm," he replied.
He stroked her hair with a smile. "Can you promise me one thing?" She asked. Tommy looked at her to see the seriousness in her eyes.
"Of course, what is it?" He answered with another question.
"Promise me you'll love me no matter what happens," she replied.
Tommy placed a kiss on her lips before answering. "I promise," he whispered. Kimberly smiled and placed her head on his chest and held onto his hand.
A few days later, Tommy was dropping Kimberly off at the airport. Everyone was there to say goodbye. Kimberly embraced her friends one by one, but when she came to Tommy, she hugged him tight and closed her eyes. Tommy hugged her back and sighed. "Remember your promise," she whispered.
"I'll keep my promise," he assured.
They shared one final kiss before Kimberly had to get onto her plane. She handed the woman her ticket and before going into the terminal, she looked back to see her friends waving. She looked over at Tommy to see that he was going to keep his promise. She gave him a gentle smile before going onto the plane. That was the last time Kimberly Ann Hart was ever seen with Tommy James Oliver as his girlfriend.
(End Flashback)
Kimberly smiled at the memory. "He probably has forgotten that promise. Adam might be wrong about what he said about Tommy. He has the right to stop loving me. I was the one that hurt him," she said to herself.
"Hey, lady. Where do you want me to put these boxes?" The mover asked.
"Hmm? Oh, put the ones that say kitchen in the kitchen area along with the box that says dining room. Put the coach and the chair in the living room along with the lamp, television, and DVD player," she instructed.
The movers put the stuff where she said to put them before getting paid and leaving.
Kimberly looked around her new home and watched as Kylie unpacked her things in her bedroom. She watched as Kylie picked up the photo that was taken when Tommy took her to homecoming. She knew that Kylie wanted to meet her dad and she vowed to have her meet him no matter what it took.
That night, Kimberly was lying in bed looking out her window to see the ocean. She turned on her radio and closed her eyes with tears threatening to fall down her face as she listened to the song they had playing.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
If you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating mind
Now I'm bond by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wiped away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself
That you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wiped away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
All of me
All of me
"And that was Evanescence with My Immortal," the radio announcer announced. Kimberly wasn't listening, since she had cried herself to sleep again.
