Chapter 2 Getting That Chance
A few months later, Jason had invited Kim to go scuba diving with him. This was Kim's chance to talk to Tommy. Unfortunately, there was a small delay in that plan. After it was cleared up, she was given another chance to talk to Tommy after the tournament.
"You need her, Tommy," Kat said.
Tommy looked over at the blonde in confusion.
"What, Kat?" he asked.
"Oh come on, Tommy. It's clear as the rubber band you're wearing in your hair," she said.
Tommy put Justin down and took a long, hard look at Kim, who was not looking.
"What's up with him?" Justin asked Rocky.
"You've got a lot to learn, little man," he laughed.
"What am I going to tell him, Jason?" Kim asked.
Kim crossed her arms and let her head fall down. Jason looked passed Kim's shoulder to find Tommy putting a finger up to his mouth.
"Just tell him how you feel about him," Jason said.
"He's with Kat," Kim sighed.
Jason noticed Tommy waving his finger left to right, indicating 'no'.
"You know that for a fact, Kim?" Jason asked.
"Well, not really," she said.
"Well then?" he laughed.
"Jason, do you know how selfish I'd sound if I were to walk up to Tommy right now and say, 'Hey, listen. Josh and I broke up, want to start back from where we ended?' God, that'd sound so desperate," Kim cried.
"I'm sure if you gave him a reason, he'd take you back," Jason said.
"There is no reason. There was no lie, no cover-up, no nothing," Kim yelled.
"Then why did you break up with Josh?" Jason asked.
"We both decided it was for the best. We both loved two people. I loved Tommy, he loved Jen," Kim said.
It had turned out that Josh had been interested in someone as well.
"Then why were you two in that relationship?" Jason asked.
Deep inside, Jason was praying Kim would not turn around.
"It's was a stupid little crush that should've never happened," Kim said. "Thinking that it would end up like with what Tommy and I had was dim-witted of me."
"Crush," Jason laughed. "Kim, what you and Tommy have…had, wasn't just a crush like you and Josh. It's was love."
"Jason, please. I needed someone to hold me, to love me," she cried.
"Tommy did… and still does," Jason said.
"Don't make me feel worse than I already do. You're the one telling me to tell him," Kim sighed.
"Crushes are for little kids," Jason said.
Tommy was trying so hard not to laugh, so Jason did it for him.
"It's not funny, Jason. I hurt Tommy… bad. I don't think he'll ever forgive me," Kim cried.
Adam stepped beside Jason.
"Adam, can you please tell this girl what you told me?" Jason laughed.
Tommy smiled, knowing that Jason and Adam were telling Kim the things that he'd be telling her if he was standing in front of her.
"Kim, Tommy was a wreck the whole time we went looking for you and Jason. I had to literally pull him out of the water after he found out they had you," Adam said.
"Why would he do that after what I did to him?" she asked.
"Because I love you, Kim," Tommy yelled to himself, wanting to yell it out loud.
"He never understood why you did it, but he always had you at the back of his mind," Adam said.
"I've never stopped loving him, Adam. I liked Josh, but I never loved him like Tommy," Kim sighed.
Tommy bit his lip, wanting so bad to pull her in his arms. It took all his strength not to, and Adam and Jason could tell.
"I think we all knew that, Kim," Jason smiled.
"Yeah, if only I could tell that to his face now," she sighed.
"I think you already have," Adam said.
"Huh?" Kim asked.
Before Kim was able to turn around, a pair of hands came around her neck with a necklace. She had seen the necklace earlier and began to cry. She had just told Tommy what she had been so scared to tell him. Kim quickly turned and almost made Tommy fall as her arms reached over him.
"Oh, Tommy, how could I've let you go," she cried.
"It's going to be okay, Kim," he whispered as he stroked her hair.
Kim bit her lower lip as she got on her tip toes to touch her lips with his.
