Chapter Four
"Alright well…" Jason began, thinking of a good way to start. "I got a call from Billy a couple of days after the letter was sent. He asked me if I knew anything about and that's how I found out about it. He recited what the letter said, and I knew that something was off."
"What do you mean?" asked Adam.
"I knew that Kimberly was lying about something in the letter. So I called her up and questioned her about it."
"What did she say?" Rocky asked.
"She said that she just needed a break from Tommy and that she found someone new. But eventually she broke down and told me the truth. She was getting worried about her and Tommy's relationship. And after her accident-"
"What accident?" the three guys asked at the same time.
"Dang, Kimberly really left everyone out in the dark," Jason said shaking his head. "She was doing a routine on the beam and she fell off, injuring her knee and ankle and suffering a mild concussion. When she woke up in the hospital, she said she wanted Tommy there, but she knew that that was impossible."
"That's why she broke up with him?" Zack asked. "Because they couldn't be together?"
"Kim told me that she tried to get a hold of Tommy all that week…but he was always out. And that's when she decided to break it off."
"Who was the guy?"
"Josh. Like Kim said, they weren't romantically involved. He was just a good friend who was there for her when Tommy couldn't be."
The guys remained silent, taking in what they just heard. Jason only stared blankly into space as he began to find a way to fix things between his two best friends.

Kimberly walked up to the front door, not knowing what to say. She looked back at Tanya and Justin who were in Tanya's car, waiting for her. Finally, Kimberly rang the doorbell.
"Oh, hi Kim!" Kat said, smiling.
"Hey, Kat, I just wanted to see if you were okay," Kim said.
"I'm fine, I just wish I knew a way to get Zack to like me."
"Well, we're still planning on doing the movie night and I want you to come." Kat smiled at the petite brunette. Kimberly was a good friend and she was lucky to have met her. "And do you think you can get a hold of Tommy?"
"Oh, Tommy's here," Kat said. She immediately closed her mouth when she saw pain flash in Kimberly's eyes. "He went to drop me off and…"
"It's okay Kat," Kim said smiling. "I'm fine with you and Tommy being together."
Kat looked at Kim in surprise and could only nod.
"Well, we're heading over to Jason's house now, so just come by when you guys can."
Kimberly waved and limped to Tanya's car. The pink turbo ranger waved at her friends before closing the door.
"Who was that?" Tommy asked.
"It was…Kimberly."
Tommy almost choked on the cookie he was eating.
"Tommy," Kat said, taking a seat next to Tommy. "When are you going to ask Kimberly about the letter?"
"Never," he said, still trying to cough the cookie crumbs out of his throat. "You heard her at Jason's house…she admitted to finding someone new. So the letter wasn't a lie."
"Yes it was!" Kat replied. "I know Kimberly wouldn't do that to you."
"I don't want to talk about it Kat.'
"Well, she invited us back over to Jason's for the movie night. If you don't want to go then you don't have to, but I'd like to spend more time with Kimberly before she leaves for Florida again."
Tommy's heart sunk when he remembered that Kimberly would be leaving again soon. He looked up at Kat's bright blue eyes and sighed.
"Okay, I'll go."
Kat smiled a victorious smile.
"Let's go!"
