Chapter 11: A night with Colt
Then it was raining cats and dogs. Tears rolled down on her cheeks as she walked through the rain.
Yellowcard's 'Only One' plays in the background just to make the mood lighter.
Once she entered the house, she was soaking wet and still crying.
"Kim! What happened?" asked Mrs. Blake and everyone stood up and looked at her.
"Just got caught in the rain." Sobbed Kimiko and ran up the room avoiding everyone's eyes.
"It's definitely Jake." Said Rika quietly. "I'll go talk to her."
"It's okay. I'll go." Replied Colt and climbed the stairs.
He knocked on her door. But there was no response.
"Kim? Kim? Are you in there? Can I come in?" asked Colt but there were no response.
"Kim?" called out Colt.
In curiosity, he opened the door.
"Go away." Said Kimiko.
She was under the blanket on her bed.
"What happened?" asked Colt sitting on her bed.
"Go away. I don't want to talk about it." Said Kimiko.
"C'mon. Maybe I can help…" replied Colt.
"Well, maybe you'll make it even worse." Said Kimiko.
"Who knows? But you can't just stay in there you know. Talk it out, Kim. You'll feel better… Trust me…" replied Colt.
"He's right. I bet he's happy I broke up with Jake. Did I just thought of that?" Thought Kimiko.
She got out from her blanket and sat beside Colt.
"It's… It's… It's…" said Kimiko but Colt knew what she was going to say.
"Jake. I know. What did he do?" asked Colt.
"He… he… he…" said Kimiko but she cried.
"It's okay Kim… Just talk it out…" replied Colt.
"He cheated on me!" replied Kimiko.
"Ch… Cheated? (Pause) Well, now you know he's not worth it… He's just a jerk… a wimp… an ass… a jackass…" said Colt and Kimiko laughed a small one.
Colt was relieved to hear her laughed.
"What did… he… exactly do…? (Pause) He didn't hurt you, did he?" asked Colt.
Kimiko shook her head, "I went to his house and saw his 'another' girlfriend. He was two-timing me and I overheard their conversation… that… that… after the dance… he would dump me… so I barged in the house… and dumped him first before he could dump me… and kicked both of their asses…" said Kimiko, sobbing.
"Way to go! I mean, yeah… Hope that made you feel really better…" replied Colt, and Kimiko laughed.
Then there was silence.
Kimiko was staring into thin air.
"Do… you… need a hug?" asked Colt.
"Holy crap! Why did that came out of my mouth?" thought Colt.
Kimiko smiled and nodded her head.
Then Colt hugged her.
"Well… You can let me go now…" said Colt after a few seconds.
Kimiko laughed, "What if I say I don't want to let go?"
"Then I'll just have to stay here." Said Colt.
Then Kimiko fell asleep in Colt's arms.
Soon, the rest entered the room.
"Wow Colt. I'm impressed." Said Rika.
"Colt's blushing!" said Tum-Tum.
Colt rolled his eyes.
"Looks like you guys have to stay here for the night…" said Ayumi.
