Chapter 11: Wicked Games

by: Chris Issak

Few days later

Kimberly woke up to hear knocking on the door. She and Tommy went to bed early last night since her meet was tomorrow afternoon, both a bit tired. Kimberly groaned and nudged Tommy. He simple groaned and turned off her to his stomach away from her.

"Uh!" Kimberly got up and went to the door. "Yea."

"Its nearly 10! Are you planning to sleep the day away!" Kimberly yawned.

"I'm up."

"Well, hurry up!" Kimberly yawned again after nodding to her mother. She walked back into the room to get some towels. Kim's mother pushed the door and saw Tommy. He was on his back, scratching his stomach.

"Where did my warm bod go?" He mumbled. Kimberly crawled back into bed and on top of him. Tommy pulled at the covers. "Your meet is not til 4!"

"Tell me about it." Kimberly rested against his chest. Kim's mother cleared her throat. "We're coming! Golly!" Kimberly sat up. Kim's mother closed the door. "Shoulda Known Betta."

"Huh?"

"Exactly." She laid back to his chest.

"She loves you."

"Yes, I know."

"Come on, we better get up."

"No."
"Yes!"

After showering, Kimberly put on her white AG bodysuit with blue stripes and AGHS on chest. Tommy was at the computer checking her email, reading them back to her, as she got dressed.

"Here's one from Miles?"

"Miles? Miles! Oh, don't open that."

"What? Why?"

"That one is private."

"I just read to you a long email from Trini where she deserved a boy's penis from her art class in Europe!"

"So! I don't read all your emails,now respect that."

"No." Tommy clicked on it.

"TOMMY!" His eyes read quickly through the email, though Kimberly tried her best to stop him.

"When were you in Japan?"

"A while before Olympics."

"Why?"

"Training."

"He wants you to visit again, he needs to go over his family's accounts with you. Why?"

"His father died earlier this year. He left me some things in his will," Kimberly said clicking off the email.

"What things?"

"Just some family artifacts and heirlooms."

"Was he the one?" Tommy asked.

"The one what?"

"That you broke up with me for?"

"Miles?" Kim laughed. "Heavens no."

"Then why did he put, 'You will always be on my mind and in my heart. I love you, Kim'?"

"We were ...are friends, he was one of my friends in Florida. Nothing more, I promise."

"You know you can tell me anything."

"I know." Kimberly smiled and kissed him on the lips. "Come, help me with the ribbons." Tommy did, knowing she was changing the subject. Tommy picked up her bag and jacket, as Kimberly slid into her blue track pants and blue sneakers. He handed over her purple hoodie.

"Let's go!" Kim's mother yelled as Kimberly was coming downstairs.

"Sorry!"

Warm-ups were the worst for Kimberly. Coach Winters could tell why, as Kim's eyes stayed focus on her mother on the sidelines, than the apparatus she was on.

"Where is your head today?"

"Here."

"No, it's not. Kimberly, you never use to let things like that get to you, so don't start now. Get your ass in this game right now."

"I know, Coach. I'm sorry. I am here. Completely"

"Get on bars and show me something, champ." Kimberly smiled. She nodded and powdered her hands. Competitions went simpler after Kim's pep talk, and her mother finally up in the stands. Kimberly competed with anger, fire, passions unlocked deep from her core. After each program, her glare at the judges, made Coach Winter's smile and Coach Thorne cheer harder, much to Jasmine's dislike. Kimberly scored her 10s on floor and beam, but was most proud of her9.9 from bars and 9.8 on vault. Kimberly received her trophy for having the highest overall score in the competition in history. Pierre wanted to treat his stepdaughter to a nice dinner, since he and Kim's mother were leaving in the morning at 9. Though Kim's mother was a bit of a pain to Kimberly, the entire time she was there, Kimberly was still sadden that she was leaving once again.

Next morning

Kimberly stood with Tommy, at the airport as they were saying goodbye to Kim's mother and stepfather.

"I'm going to miss you, Mommy."

"Though I was a pain in the ass?"

"I never said..."

"I know." They hugged.

"I love you."

"I love you too, babygirl. You will be sending me tape for the meet on Friday, right Tommy?"

"Of course, Mrs. Dumas."

"You take care of my little girl."

"Mom, I'm not little anymore."

"I know that. I see that. But to me, you will always be my baby." Mrs. Dumas kissed Kimberly. "Now, I expect you in Paris school's end."

"I will see, Mommy." Pierre gave Kim a hug and kiss before his wife took his arm and they walked toward their plane. Tommy and Kimberly waved to them and stayed until the plane finally went off. Kim wiped away a few tears.

"Come on, Beautiful. She'll be back, to annoy you again." Kim laughed.

"Thanks." They hugged. Tommy kissed the top of her head and put his arm around her, as he lead them out the airport.

4 days later

Jasmine wanted the throw a party was her parents were out of town for the night. Kimberly and Tommy arrived to the party. Jasmine made sure to put her second round of the plan into action. Katherine was able to slip something powerful into a cup.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Katherine asked.

"Of course, Kat."

"What if he..."

"Hey, you wanted to play remember. Wicked games. Now give it to him!" Jasmine said going to distract Kimberly. Katherine got herself another drink.

"Hey, Tommy. You look thirsty. Here."

"Oh, I already had 2 beers."

"Just a small cup won't hurt, besides, Adam isn't drinking, he can play DD."

"Thanks." Tommy took the cup and took a sip. He walked over to Kimberly. Tanya stood in the distance. She watched Katherine's smile as she sipped on her cup. Tanya shook her head and walked out.

Kimberly found Tommy a bit off as they danced. She put her arms around his neck.

"Hey, you look flushed."

"I'm not feeling well," Tommy said as Kimberly was dancing with him.

"We can go home."

"No, you're having fun."

"I can have fun with you at home."

"I'm gonna go get some water."

"Tommy, we can go."

"Go! It's not even 11! Tommy, if you need to use the bathroom, use mine," Jasmine said.

"Uh, thanks."

"I'll come." Jasmine caught Kim's arm.

"Oh no! I know what goes on in the bathroom when you two go together. He doesn't need you to hold his hand every moment, Kim."

"Fine. I'll wait here, go." Tommy nodded, kissing her before leaving, though holding his head as he went upstairs.

After 20 minutes, Kimberly went looking for Tommy.

"He's not in the bathroom," Jason said.

"Where is he?" Kim looked around. "Have you seen Tommy?" The girl shook her head.

"Lost your boyfriend?" Katherine asked with a smile as Kimberly walked passed her.

"Do you know where Tommy went?"

"Upstairs, the last time I check."

"We already looked there. Did he go outside?"

"I don't know, not his keeper, remember? You are."

"I am so damn tired of your attitude."

"Really? Gonna beat me up again?"

"Actually, you're not worth my time," Kimberly said walking away.

"You might want to check the pool house." Katherine said. "I think he and Jasmine stumbled there, kissing." Kim looked at her.

Jason found Kimberly standing by the pool house opening. She was frozen in her spot.

"Hey, did you find.." Kimberly held her sob back. Tommy was laying on the couch with Jasmine on top of him, sheet around her waist. Tommy's hands on her hips, as Jasmine moaned above him. Jason gasped. "No." Kimberly closed her eyes as the tears burned down her face. Jasmine looked up at them and smiled.

"HEY! You two find Tom...oh god," Adam said. Rocky came running over.

"Hey you-!" Rocky nearly fell backwards at what he saw.

Kimberly rushed away crying, holding her mouth. Rocky looked back to Adam as Jason ran after Kimberly. Adam and Rocky's stayed in shock for a second before running after Jason and Kimberly. Jason pulled Kimberly to him to hug her. She went mad in tears. Kimberly banged on his chest with her fists to make him let her go as she screamed.

"No! No! Let me go!" She cried against him. "Let me go!" She screamed, shoving Jason away hard. Katherine stood by the door with a smile.

"Yes, it is over," she whispered. Tanya stood beside her with a shocked face. Her best friend had showed her a side of her, she hated.

"Kim! Kim! STOP!" She pulled away from him again. "Kim.." Jason tried to pull her back to him.

"NO! Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" She ran again. Kimberly found the keys to the car. Jason stood before the car, as she got into it. He put his hands on the car hood, to make sure Kimberly didn't take off in her state of mind. She started her car. "Move Jason!" Kimberly screamed.

"No! Kim, I know you are hurting.."

"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" She screamed back. "MOVE!" She started the car again, having realized she already did, so put it into drive, holding on the brake. Jason stood firmly, as Kimberly look him in the eyes.

"I know. I know. But I am not moving, Kimberly. You're going to have to run me over. And I know you don't want to do that. Please, turn off the car." Kimberly was gasping for air, as tears streamed down her eyes. "I know. I know you're hurting..."

"Shut up!" Kimberly screamed. "Move!" She banged on the steering wheel.

"I can't do that, Kimberly. But I can take you home."

"That is not my home!"

"Fine, Fine. We will go anywhere you want. And I'll be with you the whole time."

"Why?"

"You know why."

"I just…I can't seem be...lieve. It' not true, it's just a sick lie, right..." Kimberly pulled the car into park and turned the car off. Jason slowly moved around the car to the driver's side."It's not true. It's not true, right...It'snot true." Jason opened the car door on the driver's side. Kimberly hugged him immediately. "It's not true. It's not true. It's not true!" Adam came over, but Jason shook his head. Adam nodded. They had been friends longer. Jason helped her out the car. "I don't know what to do now," she said staring ahead. Kimberly wentinto a dark strance. "Jase..I don't feel..." He quickly caught her as she passed out.

Adam rushed to help Jason. Rocky held the car door opened as the 2 placed Kimberly in the backseat.

"Will she be alright?"

"I don't know, but I do know this. He did this." Jason looked back at the poolhouse. "And he will pay." Jason stormed to the poolhouse, but Adam and Rocky stopped him.

"You should take Kimberly home."

"After I tell lil Shithead a piece of my mind."

"Tomorrow, we all will," Rocky said. "He will not get away with hurting her. Tommy will pay, but not tonight. Go. Kimberly needs you." Jason nodded.

"Come on. Take her home," Adam said patting Jason's back. "We'll be right behind you."

"Make sure Em gets home first. Tell her, tell her, I'll call her later."

"We will."

"Take care of our princess, she's gonna need you." Jason nodded and got into the car.

Tommy woke up in the pool house alone. The sun had just rose. His clothes around the room. Tommy touched his head, having a major headache. His hand touched the couch where he found an opened condom wrapper.

"What the hell happened? Where am I?"

Kimberly woke up to find Mrs. Oliver sitting in the chair beside the bed. It was the following morning.

"It's only 7."

"Why can't I move? Why do I not want to?"

"Because when it hurts like this, you just don't. You rest, you can stay home from school today."

"I can't stay here."

"If you want to leave..."

"I don't see how I can stay. Not after... not after last night and seeing what..." Kimberly started crying again. Mrs. Oliver hugged her.

School was a drag, with everyone knowing what happened at the party last night. Kimberly couldn't sleep anymore, so decided to go on to school, though Mrs. Oliver and Jason protested. Some peoplemaking fun because of what Jasmine was saying, but would hush as Kimberly came around, making her feel even more uneasy and unnerved. Jason was always besides Kimberly. Emily feeling left out already. They were standing at their lockers.

"I can kick his butt," Rocky said.

"More like the other way," Adam said. "So, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

"Have you seen him.."

"No."

"He never came home last night," Jason said having not left Kim's side since the unfortunates of finding Tommy making love to Jasmine.

"Do you want to.."

"No," Kimberly said quickly. "I don't want to ever see him."

"You can't leave us, Kim," Adam said. "We just got you back." Adam hugged her. Kimberly shook her head as she started to cry again. Katherine stood in the background.

At the meet, Kimberly stood stretching with some of the other girls when Jasmine came over.

"God, how amazing was last night. The party was spectacular! Wouldn't you say so Kimberly?" Kimberly turned her back to Jasmine, as she continued to stretch. "I may have hadtoo much to drink though."

"Leave her alone," Kelly said standing up between Kimberly and Jasmine.

"Woo…Kelly's got a backbone finally."

"Haven't you done enough, Jaz, just go," Becky said. "She doesn't deserve this."

"Yeah!" A few other girls on the team said.

"I could, but not me...just remembering my great party. I mean, the music, my food of course, and then...oh, Tommy. I can see why you stole him from Katherine. What a hunk and that chest, his kisses were like candy." Kimberly turned to Jasmine with tears in her eyes. "Oh, have I upset you?" Kimberly saw both the coaches and assistances were distracted with the other coaches and judges. Kimberly smiled and punched Jasmine hard. Jasmine fell to her knees in pain, holding her face. Kimberly pushed her over with her foot. Jasmine looked up at Kimberly as her foot was pressed against her throat. "Oh, are you mad?" Tears rolled down Kim's face.

"Watch your back, bitch. Cross me again and I kill you." Kimberly stepped over her.

Though Angel Grove won, Jasmine and Kimberly got into another fight in the locker room, which spilt out to the floor. Kimberly got up, leaving an unconscious Jasmine. Blood on her hand. Kimberly ran home in shame, shoving Jason away when he tried to stop her. Mrs. Oliver found her washing her hand of the blood. Kimberly was immediately grounded by Mrs. Oliver for her actions.

"I know you are mad at her, but to do that on school grounds. You are lucky, Mr. Caplain didn't expel you." Kimberly disgusted walked out, slamming the door behind her. She couldn't take anymore. If one more thing upset her,Kimberly didn't know what she might do.

Kimberly returned going to the pool in the back first. She sat by the pool a while, before heading inside. Tommy found her getting some water. He had been banned from speaking ot her by his mother, ever since he got back late this morning. She even stopped him from going to school today, making him stay in his room as punishment.

"I know my Mom said.."

"Don't!"

"Kimberly, we need to talk."

"We...there is no we! You made sure of that!"

"I didn't sleep with her! I couldn't have!" Tommy shouted back.

"I am not stupid, Tommy! I know what I saw!"

"I love you, I would never hurt you like that."

"I hate you!" Kimberly screamed.

"No, no you don't."

"I don't?" She slapped him hard. "I hate you! I fucking hate you with every inch of my body!"

"Feel better?"

"No!" She started slapping and hitting him again. Tommy was able to block and stop her finally. He pushed her against the wall and started hitting himself like she did.

"Does that make you feel better!" Tommy slapped himself one last time. Kimberly looked at him crying. "I swear, I don't remember anything after I went to the bathroom. I don't know what you saw, but it was a lie." Kim screamed as he held her shoulders. Mrs. Oliver came running downstairs. Tommy was holding Kim's face as he kissed, though she fought him.

"Let her go!" Mrs. Oliver pulled at her son. Tommy let go of Kimberly, she stumbled upstairs, crying. "I told you to leave her alone! She doesn't need this!"

"I love her Mom!"

"You don't know love, son!"

"You believe her over me! I didn't sleep with Jasmine! Why can't you just believe me!"

"I was with her last night when Jason carried her in! Sobbing hysterically! She was so crazed with sadness caused by you! I called you! We all called you! You never answered! And then you come in here, this morning, clothes a mess, girl lipstick all over your body. What else am I to believe?"

"I didn't sleep with her. I wouldn't…"

"Leave Kimberly alone. If I catch you near her again, you are out of here."

"You would kick me out?"

"And send your butt to your uncle's place." Mrs. Oliver went upstairs.

"GO AWAY!" Kimberly screamed as there was knock on the door.

"Kimberly..."

"GO!"

"Okay." Kimberly fell to her bed crying. She sat up with a headache. Kimberly went to the bathroom for some medicine. She sneaked into Tommy's parent's bathroom for some medicine. She found a bottle of pain killers. Kimberly saw a bottle of vodka hidden. She took it as well.

Mrs. Oliver knocked on the door again about an hour later.

"Kimberly, dinner." She knocked again. "Kim?" She opened the door. Kimberly was laying on the floor as she opened the door. "Kimberly?" Mrs. Oliver saw the bottle of medication and vodka. Mrs. Oliver pressed her fingers to Kim's neck. "Oh god! HELP!" She screamed. Tommy and his father came running into the room.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Call 911 now!"

"Kimberly?" Tommy quickly went to her. "Kim!"

"Step back, son!" Mrs. Oliver cleared him, as her husband was on the phone. "Come on, Kim, wake up! Kim!" Mrs. Oliver shook her. She checked her pulse. "Come on, girl! Don't do this!" Mrs. Oliver cried shaking her again. "Don't do this now!"

Kim's eyes were blurry when they slowly opened and found a light shinning down at her.

"Kimberly, Kimberly Hart. Can you hear me? My name is Brian, I'm a paramedic. We are on our way to the hospital just hold on a bit."

"Kimberly," Mrs. Oliver said coming into view. "I'm here sweetheart. Just stay with us."

"Her vitals are crashing, Brian, she won't make it to the hospital."

"Speed it up, Joe! We're losing her!" Kim's eyes rolled back.

"Kim! Kim!" Mrs. Oliver screamed.
