Chapter 5

Tommy's Point of View

Two weeks later.

Everyone seems to see Kim in a different light lately. They will ask if they can invite her to go places with us. I say fine, just keep her away from me, but she doesn't ever come. There's something wrong with her. I know that. I'm not that thick.

She is skinnier, like she isn't eating. She always was so thin, but now she looks almost anorexic. She always looks tired and sick. Her hand is better, but she won't practice her gymnastics.

It's pitiful. Whatever is wrong with her, she is overplaying to make everyone feel sorry for her. Oh boo hoo. Get over it already!

She's on the bus this afternoon. Her mom was leaving for France again this morning so she has to take the bus home. It's our stop. I live about a quarter of a mile down the road from her.

Everyone is coming over my house today. It's raining and the Ernie had to go out of town, so the Juice Bar is closed and the park is out of the question.

It just started to down pour. I have a sweat shirt, so I can use the hat. Some of the others have umbrellas. I look at Kim. She is a little farther ahead on the other side of the street. She has no coat, sweatshirt, or umbrella.

She is just walking home with her head down. Her arms are wrapped tightly around herself. Her jeans are soaked and so is her pink tank top. Her loose hair is quickly being plastered to the back of her neck.

She looks up. I follow her gaze. Her brother, Tyler, is sitting on the front porch. I can tell he is upset. Why is he here? His school day shouldn't even be over yet. Kim drops her shoulder bag and runs toward her brother. She slips on some grass in the front yard. She is all muddy now.

She reaches him. She takes him in her arms. She rubs his back and tries to sooth him. He says something to her. Her face goes blank.

She gets up and runs.

Something is wrong. I know where she is going. I drop my bag and run after her. It is instinct. I'm afraid that she's hurt herself.

I hear the others calling after me. They didn't see what happened to Kim. I did. I need to help her.

They are running after me. I can hear them, but I am faster. I need to lose them or they will be able to find me. I run through a bunch of trees. It is a big grove. I go through it all the time. I know the ways out. They don't. I lost them.

I go where I know she will be. I keep running. She will be there.

I find her. She is in our spot. I knew she would be. She is sitting on a rock. She is crying. She is shivering. I take off my sweat shirt and pull it over her head. She is startled.

She looks into my eyes. I can see it. I can see the pain. It's bad.

I take her into my arms and hold her. It is what she needs.

It is what I need.

Mwahahahahaha

Sorry.

SPOILER! Next chapter: It stops raining!
