Chapter 19

Author: Thanks you guys for reviewing! Yeah I thought they shouldn't have had sex just yet because it was too soon I think. But yeah I've always wanted to lay naked in someone's arms, so I thought I would let Kennedy and Jack do it. I would definitely do it with Jack, immediately. Haha! Ok so enough about that! I hope some of you guys will start liking Laiken. Enjoy!

This chapter might be a little longer than the rest but I have something planned for the next chapter that I wanted to do so I needed to get this one out of the way.

Disclaimer: I do not own the song by Teddy Geiger and his fine self "For You I Will"

Come Monday morning everything seemed to be back to normal with Kennedy and Jack. Kennedy knew she had to apologize to Laiken, but that's so hard to do. She knew she was wrong for acting the way she did, but didn't want to admit it to a girl she just met.

"You going to apologize Laiken?" Bobby asked Monday morning as Kennedy walked into the kitchen.

"What are you doing up at 6:30 in the morning?" Kennedy asked

"I am usually up this early."

"I highly doubt that."

"You didn't answer my question."

"You didn't answer mine."

"Kennedy, I think you need to apologize to her for acting the way you did."

"I honestly can't see you as a morning person."

Bobby began to laugh "I think you should at least give her a chance."

"I hate mornings." Kennedy smiled.

"Eat your breakfast and go get your boyfriend up. You're going to be late for school." Bobby replied before grabbing some toast. She sat down and began eating her breakfast and situating her work she had missed. As she finished she remembered that Jack was still asleep. She made her way upstairs to his room and found him in a ball on his bed. She smiled at him before running and jumping on. "Time for school!" she yelled

"Get off!" he yelled back

"Nope, not until you get up."

"It's too early for this."

"I agree, so you should get up. Go get in the shower and I will have your breakfast for you."

"No, lets just lay here." He replied pulling her onto him. She laughed and kissed him before moving off "What are you doing?"

"You need to get up. We are going to be late."

"Now we can't be late can we?" he mocked. Kennedy hit him before getting off the bed. "Baby!" he whined. She turned around to him "I loooveee you!" he replied. She laughed at him before blowing him a kiss. She left the room and went down stairs to fix his breakfast. She found Bobby passed out on the couch as she walked by. She laughed before going into the kitchen. Evelyn has made them breakfast before she left early for work. Kennedy fixed Jack a plate and placed it on the shower. Just as she was going back upstairs, she heard the shower cut on.


As Jack and Kennedy finally made their way to the car Kennedy spotted Laiken walking out of her house. Laiken looked over at them before quickly turning away. Kennedy looked up at Jack but then quickly got in the car. Jack watched as Laiken got on the bus, before getting in the car himself. He looked over at Kennedy was staring out the window avoiding him. She knew Bobby was right, she need to apologize. "Maybe it wouldn't hurt to say 'I'm sorry." She thought to herself. She looked over at Jack who was still staring at her "We're going to be late." She replied. He laughed at her before starting the car and driving to school. As soon as they got to school Jenna came running up to them. "We need to talk!" Jenna replied grabbing Kennedy's hand. They took off running towards the bathroom.

"What is wrong with you?" Kennedy asked pulling away.

"You remember Cooper?" Jenna asked

"Cooper?" Kennedy became confused

"Parks."

"Oh yeah I remember you telling me about him."

"Yeah well anyways…he talked to me!"

"Are you serious? He actually talked to you."

Jenna became excited but the excitement left when she saw that Kennedy was teasing her "Shut up!" Jenna replied laughing "He came up to me and was like 'your Jenna Thomason right?' and I was like 'yeah'. He was like 'Yeah I've heard about you and I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me one day.' Kennedy I about died."

"And you said?"

"Yes of course. We are going this Friday out to eat and then whatever else we want to do."

"I'm so happy for you Jen. That's awesome. Why didn't you tell Jack though?"

"Because he gets so overprotective when other guys come around. I just don't want him to ruin this right now."

"Yeah I understand."

"So tell me what happened this weekend?"

"We made up. We were yelling at each other when we got home and then he just said something that made me snap and I took off. I wanted to go to your house but I kept thinking that my dad lived across the street so I just sat on the curb and cried. Then Bobby came after me and I didn't want to talk to him so I ran."

"You did what?" Jenna yelled

"Yeah. Well needless to say that I ended up in the bad part of town and this guy grabbed me."

"This is freaking crazy."

"But Bobby stopped him after he hit me. When we got home Jack was sitting on the stairs waiting on me. He looked so worried and I just felt so bad for everything that had happened."

"And Laiken?"

"I know I need to say that I am sorry but I just cant bring myself to it. We saw her today and I know that Jack told her that we could all ride together but she got on the bus. I felt like someone kicked me in the stomach."

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know yet."

"Well if it helps, I think it would make you a better person if you would just apologize for what happened. She's new here and she didn't know what was going on."

"Have you talked to Jack?"

"Yeah, he called me."

"I knew it."

"Well you know. He called looking for you."

"Its ok. I know what I need to do its just not going to be easy."

"Well at least you'll feel better."

Kennedy laughed. "Come on. Jack's probably wondering where we are." Kennedy replied grabbing Jenna's arm. As they made their way back to where they left Jack, they noticed him talking to a girl. Kennedy stopped in her tracks when she noticed it was Laiken. "Um…" Jenna began. Kennedy began moving again towards Jack and Laiken. Jack saw her coming "We were…." Jack began

"Hey Laiken. How are you?" Kennedy replied with a smile. Laiken just stared at her

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm good. Just wanting this day to end."

"Yeah me too."

"Ken, are you alright?" Jack asked

"Yeah I'm fine. Hey listen, you want to sit with us at lunch?" Kennedy asked

"Would it be ok?" Laiken asked

"Of course. Didn't Jack promise to show you around?"

"Yeah he did actually."

"Well good its settled." The final bell sounded and everyone went their ways to their classes. Jack grabbed Kennedy's hand before she walked into the classroom. "What the hell was that?" he asked

"What was what?"

"That shit you just pulled."

"I didn't pull anything Jack. I was just being nice."

"You don't forgive people that fast Kennedy."

"She didn't do anything to me ok. I felt bad for what I did. Can I not be nice to her?"

"This better not be a joke."

"What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing I am just saying. Don't hurt her feelings Kennedy." He walked past her into the classroom leaving her there in disbelief.

"Are you serious?" she yelled.

"Ms. Wilson care to grace us with your presents?" Mr. McGregor replied

"Sure." Kennedy replied moving inside the classroom

"Speaking of…did you do all the homework I sent to you?"

"Yes I did."

"Can I have it?"

"Sure thing." Kennedy knew if she didn't shut her mouth that she would soon be in trouble

"Can you give it to me without any attitude please?"

"No problem." She replied with a smirk. She got the work out of her book bag and slapped in on the desk. "Here you go!" she replied looking into his eyes

"So I guess you can bring that attitude with you today in detention. You can spend it with that boyfriend of yours."

"Sounds great." She replied

"Take your seat Ms. Wilson."

Kennedy turned around and glared at Jack before sitting down. "What is wrong with you?" Jack whispered

"Please be quiet, I am trying to learn." Kennedy replied back before turning back to Mr. McGregor who was staring at her. They went through class without even looking at each other until the bell rang. She got up from her seat and without hesitating walked straight past Jack and out the door. He took off after her but was too late. She was already in their next class sitting down. "Just to let you know we have most of our classes together so you cant run from me." He replied in her ear

"No, but avoiding you seems like a good idea." She replied without looking at him. She got out her notebook and began doodling until class started. Lunch time rolled around and Kennedy was not in the mood to deal with Jack, so she decided to go to the library and study some.

"So this was some kind of joke wasn't it?" Jack asked Jenna as he sat down at lunch

"What are you talking about?" Jenna asked

"She invited Laiken to come eat with us but then she's not going to show up."

"You were being a complete douche to her this morning in second period. To be quite honest I don't blame her."

"She invited Laiken to come eat with us, that's something she doesn't do."

"She knows what she did this past weekend was wrong so she thought she would be nice and apologize at lunch. That's why she invited her to sit with us. Jack, you need to learn to grow up." Jenna replied before grabbing her tray and storming off. Laiken remained silent next to him. "I thought she was going to be mean to you."

"Its ok. I'm sorry that I caused all this."

"Its my fault. Don't worry about it. Let's just eat."

Jack smiled at her before looking at the door expecting Jenna to come back or Kennedy to come eat with them, but they never did. "I guess I'll see you at home then?" Laiken replied getting up from the table as the bell rang.

"Yeah sure…" Jack replied "Um...Laiken. I know that everything is going on right now but I just wanted to let you know that I am truly sorry that you got into this especially since you just moved here. I would love to give you a ride home so you don't have to ride the bus."

"The bus is fine."

"No its not. It would be so convient since we do live beside each other."

"Ok, if its ok with Kennedy."

"I don't think you have to worry about her. She's really mad at me right now and I honestly don't blame her."

Laiken gave a little smile before walking away. Jack made his way to his next class, he knew he would see Kennedy in his fourth period class so maybe he could talk to her then.


The bell finally rang and Kennedy hurried to get her book for her last class of the day. Just as she got to her locker some girl ran straight into her knocking her books out of her hand. "Walk much?" Kennedy yelled. The girl turned around and glared at her before waking away, "Bitch." Kennedy mumbled to herself as she bent down. As she was gathering her things she saw a hand helping her. She expected it to be Jack, but was wrong when she saw a different face in hers. "That girl can be a bitch sometimes." He replied handing her her things.

"You think?" Kennedy replied. "Thanks."

"No problem. My name is Taylor. And you are?"

"Kennedy."

"Are you new here?"

"Newish. I just moved here about a month ago from California."

"Why the hell did you move here? I would have definitely stayed there with all the beaches."

Kennedy laughed "My dad got a job here and made us move. Trust me I wanted to stay. I heard it gets really cold here."

"Yeah we should be expecting some cold weather soon."

"Great." She replied sarcastically.

"How do you like it so far?"

"Its ok. Haven't really seen a lot, just the movies."

"Well I should show you around sometime."

"I don't think that would be a good idea."

"Boyfriend huh?"

"Yeah." She replied "Sorry."

"Hey its ok. I should have expected that."

"Why's that?"

"Because you're beautiful."

Kennedy couldn't help but blush. "Thanks."

"So who's the lucky guy?"

Kennedy began laughing "Jack Mercer."

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah….."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah, he's probably one of the sweetest guys that I have ever met. He's helped me a lot since I moved here."

"Well…ok."

Kennedy laughed.


Jack walked out of his classroom which was right next to the lockers. As he looked up he saw a boy talking to Kennedy. He handed her her things back but kept talking to her. Jack could feel his body tense up and his fist clench together. He just stood there and watched as Kennedy laughed at something he said. He kept his fist in a ball. "Jack, can you move?" Jenna asked trying to get out of the door. "What is wrong with you?" She looked in the direction Jack was glaring in and saw Kennedy talking to another guy. Jenna couldn't help but smile but knew Jack was pissed "I guess you know how she feels now."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jack finally spoke

"That's how she felt when you are with Laiken."

"I wasn't doing what she is doing right now."

"What? Talking?"

Jack's head shot towards Jenna. "You both need to grow up and learn to trust each other. Your relationship is going to end real soon if you cant trust each other." Jack just looked at her before looking back at Kennedy, who was alone at her locker. Kennedy looked over at Jack and Jenna before turning away and walking in the opposite direction. Jack looked at Jenna before running in the direction Kennedy went. "Ken!" he yelled. She stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "What?" she spat

"Who were you talking to?"

"Some guy name Taylor. What's it to you?"

"I was just wondering, I saw him helping you with your things."

"Yeah some girl ran into me and knocked my things on the ground and he helped me get them."

"Is he nice?"

"Yeah very nice. He offered to show me around town…."

"Did he?"

"Yeah, but I told him that position was covered."

Jack smiled "You told him about me?"

"Of course Jack. I actually acknowledge to other people that I have a boyfriend even when you don't."

"Ok, I deserve that."

"You deserve much more, but I'm not in the mood right now."

"So you were going to apologize to Laiken today?"

"Yeah, but that all changed when you turned into an asshole."

Jack just looked at her. "I'm pissed right now Jack, deal with it." She replied noticing his look

"I know it. I deserve it."

"So how does it feel to get jealous?"

"Not good."

"Good, because that's how I felt."

Jack looked at her with sympathy in his eyes "It doesn't feel too good." Kennedy replied. Jack wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. Kennedy pulled away.

"I have to get to class." She replied "So do you."

"Will you walk with me?"

"Sure." Jack held out his hand as she grabbed it. Just as they got to the door the bell rang. Kennedy laughed before hurrying to her seat.

The final bell rang of the day and Jack grabbed Kennedy's hand and walked to their lockers together. Jenna was waiting for them along with Laiken. "Ok, you're right. We were acting childish." Jack replied

"Thank you." Jenna replied

"Laiken, listen I am so sorry for Friday night. I know you didn't have any intentions of making me so mad and I'm sorry that I gave you the cold shoulder the whole time. Jen's right, we need to learn to trust each other."

"Its ok. I'm just sorry that I didn't know what I was doing, because trust me I would have stopped immediately. My boyfriend is just the same though."

"Yeah, well I hope that we can be friends."

"Definitely."

"Good, because we are giving you a ride home." Kennedy replied

"We are?" Jack asked knowing he already asked

"Yes, that bus is doing nothing for you."

Laiken laughed "But right now, we have detention we have to get to." Kennedy replied grabbing Jack's hand

"What? You? Detention?" Jenna asked

"Yeah, well…I kind of got an attitude with Mr. McGregor this morning. So he gave me detention."

Jenna laughed "Wow."

"Yeah, so we cant be late for that." Kennedy replied "I'll see you guys in an hour."

"Joy." Jack replied moving along with her.


Two weeks past and finally was Kennedy's birthday. Everyone was getting along great. Kennedy and Laiken had become the best of friends. Everyone hung out all the time after school. Jack had snuck away with Laiken and Jenna one day and went shopping for Kennedy's birthday. He wanted this day to be special, knowing everything that she had gone through, and everything he had put her through. That morning Kennedy woke up with rose petals all around her in the bed. She smiled as she saw 2 roses on both side of the pillow. She leaned up and got out of bed and made her way downstairs. "Jack." She replied. "Is anyone here?" She made her way into the living room.

"Happy Birthday!" Jack yelled, wrapping his arms around her waist and twirling her around.

"Thank you for my flowers. They were gorgeous."

"Gorgeous flowers for a gorgeous girl." Jack replied kissing her hand.

"And you say he's not a fairy." Bobby replied. Kennedy couldn't help but laugh as she saw Jack glare at his brother. "Happy birthday." Bobby embraced her in a hug.

"Thanks Bobby."

"Happy birthday baby girl." Angel replied smiling knowing she hated the nickname.

"Thank you honey bunch" Kennedy replied laughing. Jack and Bobby couldn't help but laugh

"What the hell is honey bunch?" Bobby asked

"That's Angel's nickname for Sofi." Kennedy replied

Bobby died out laughing "I think I am calling the wrong boy a fairy."

"Shut up." Angel replied "At least…"

"Boys, stop arguing. This is Kennedy's day." Evelyn's voice sounded in the kitchen. She was followed by Laiken and Jenna holding the cake "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kennedy, happy birthday to you." Everyone sang except Bobby who just mouthed the words. Kennedy couldn't help but smile at everyone around her.

"Aww you guys, thanks!" she replied smiling. "This means so much to me." She could feel tears rising in her eyes. Jack laughed as he wrapped his arms around her. As they were all getting ready to eat cake the phone rang. "I'll get it" Bobby replied. Kennedy looked after him before turning back to the group around the table.

"So what are you going to do for your birthday today?" Evelyn asked

"I don't know."

"I have something planned, but it's a surprise." Jack replied smiling.

"Come on, you gotta tell me." Kennedy begged "Its going to kill me."

"Well at least I get to watch your squirm."

"That's not fair." She whined. Bobby came back into the room and got Evelyn to come out with him. Jack looked towards them and noticed the look on Bobby's face. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. I guess we'll find out sooner or later." Jack replied rubbing her arm. They all sat silently eating their cake.

"So you guys want to do something tomorrow?" Jenna asked "We can go see a movie or something."

"Yeah that sounds good." Kennedy replied "Its up to you guys. It doesn't matter to me what we do."

"I want to go see 'Monster House', I heard it was hilarious." Laiken replied

"Yeah, that movie looks good. I like the part where the girl tells the boy 'no more mountain dew for you buddy.' That cracked me up." Kennedy replied

"That's like a kid's movie." Jack replied. All the girls looked over at him "But I guess we could go see it seeing that I am outnumbered."

The girls laughed until Evelyn came back into the kitchen. "Kennedy, can you come here please." Kennedy saw the look in her eyes and knew something was wrong. She nodded her head and got up from the table with all eyes looking at her. She could feel the cake she just ate rising in her stomach. "Yes ma'am." She stuttered.

"I need you to come in the hall with me."

"Is something wrong?"

"Your dad is on the phone."

Kennedy looked up at Evelyn. "You don't have to talk to him but he said it was urgent and he really needed to talk to you."

Kennedy didn't know what to say "I don't want too. Its my birthday and I would rather spend time with you guys and have a great day. I know he would just ruin it if I talked to him."

"Ok, I'll tell him that. This also came in the mail for you today." Evelyn handed her a card with the Mercer address on it.

"Who's it from?"

"I don't know. Open it up and see." Evelyn smiled as Kennedy began opening up the card. She opened it up and a hundred dollar bill dropped out. She bent down and picked it up before reading the card.

Kennedy,

Happy Birthday. I cant believe today is your 8th birthday. I am so proud of you and so sorry for everything that has happened. I hope one day that you could forgive me and come back to live with me. I hope all is going well. Hope your day is wonderful. I love you sweetheart.

Your daddy.

Kennedy looked up from the card. "Its from my father."

"Oh…"

"Here Ms. Evelyn you take the money and do whatever you want with it. I don't want it."

"Sweetheart, I cant take that."

"Please, I don't want it. Buy groceries with it or something. Let's just say that I am paying you back for letting me live here."

Evelyn laughed "Now you know that I would have taken you in no matter what. You don't owe me anything."

Kennedy smiled "Thank you Ms. Evelyn." She gave the old woman and hug before going back to her party.


Later on that night Jack had laid her out a dress to wear that night. Laiken and Jenna did her hair and make-up "I know you guys know what is going on so why don't you at least give me a hint or something." Kennedy replied

"Nope, not saying a word." Jenna replied smiling

"You will find out in a matter of minutes."

"Come on you guys. This is so not like Jack. Am I going to like this?"

"Of course. We helped put this together so yes you are going to like it," Jenna replied

"You guys helped?"

"What do think we were all doing that night when Jack said he had a project, and Laiken said she was babysitting her baby sister, and I was said I was going to see my brother?"

"I thought you were doing what you said you were doing." Kennedy replied

"Well we weren't." Laiken replied

"That's bullshit." Kennedy replied "I was bored out of my mind that day. I had to watch hockey with Bobby all freaking night."

The girls laughed. "Well you look gorgeous so I guess you don't need us anymore." Jenna replied turning Kennedy around to the mirror.

"Wow!" Kennedy replied as she looked in the mirror

"You look hott!" Jenna yelled "Smokin!"

Laiken and Kennedy began laughing. There was a knock on the door. "Go get your man." Jenna replied. Kennedy smiled before going over to the door. She opened it up and saw Jack standing there with flowers in his hand. His hair was pushed back out of his face and he had on, looked like one of Angel's dress shirts and blue jeans. She smiled at him before kissing him. "What are we doing?" she asked as they walked to the car.

"You'll see." He replied taking her hand as he climbed into the driver's seat.

"Jack, where are we going?" Kennedy asked after being the car for more than 30 minutes.

"It's a place called Greek Town. I heard its one of the most romantic places In Detroit. Shopping, entertainment, and this restaurant. I want today to be special for you."

"But baby, you already made it special. I am so happy that I got to spend my birthday with the people I love the most."

Jack smiled at her "I want this to be from me. I wanted to do this."

"Ok, then I know I'll love it."

"There's this chocolate shop right next to the restaurant that makes any kind of chocolate you can think of. I heard the entertainment was awesome tonight too. This guy is singing some of his stuff that he wrote."

"I cant wait," she replied excitedly. They rode in silence until they got to their destination.

"Well here we are my lady." Jack replied helping her out of the car. She got out and smoothed her black dress down before taking Jack's hand. They made their way into the restaurant "Jack Mercer please." Jack replied to the hostess.

"Right this way." Jack smiled down at Kennedy who's eyes were huge.

"This place is gorgeous Jack."

"Yeah it is. I heard it was the best so I found some things out about it and booked a reservation immediately."

Kennedy smiled. Jack helped her into her chair before sitting down himself. They order their food and talked about everything. After dinner, Jack grabbed her hand and lead her out to the bridge. "Where are we going?" Kennedy asked

"You'll see." Jack lead her to the end where there were people waiting.

"What is this?"

"Stay right here. I'll be right back." Jack let go of her hand and left her standing there wondering what was going on. Soon he came back with two guys behind him carrying a violin and guitar. Jack had his guitar as well. "Ms. Kennedy Wilson, I would like to introduce you to the entertainment tonight. This song is called 'For You I Will.'" Jack replied before he began strumming on the guitar. Kennedy stood there with the biggest smile on her face as Jack began to sing. She saw a side of him tonight she thought she would never see. He truly opened up to her with that innocent little boy look in his eye. She didn't have to look through the touch guy, rocker type guy, but she looked at the true Jack Mercer, who she fell in love with all over again.

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you

Jack laid down his guitar as the guys continued to play and Jack continued to sing. He walked over to Kennedy who had tears in her eyes and smile on her face. He grabbed her hand and lead her over to the music and began dancing with her. He sang to her as she laid her head on his shoulder.

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would

That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

As he finished singing, with everyone clapping around them Kennedy smiled at Jack before kissing him. "Happy Birthday," he whispered

"Thank you." She whispered back through her tears. Jack let her go for a moment "I would like you to meet Zach and Kevin. Zach's in my band, and Kevin is his brother."

"Nice to meet you. That was very beautiful what you did. Thank you." Kennedy replied

"It was nothing. We heard a lot about you. Its great to finally meet the girl who turned Jack soft. Thanks." Zach replied sort of sarcastically. Kennedy couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, that's the one song that I have ever written that will stay between us." Jack replied with a smile

"Your secret is safe with me." Kennedy replied inches from his face.

"Right, well we'll see you later Jack. Kennedy." Zach replied smiling at her before going back to the crowd.

"What next?" Jack asked

"I don't care. That was more than enough and it was so beautiful. Did you write that for me?" knowing he did, but didn't want to ruin anything.

"Yes I did."

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much that meant to me."

"Your welcome. I hope your birthday was what you wanted."

"It was more than what I wanted. I am so happy that I got to spend it with you."

"Well I still haven't given you your presents?"

"Presents? Jack that was more than enough."

"What's a birthday without presents?"

Kennedy couldn't help but smile. "Well the song was one of them, but Jenna and Laiken helped me pick out the other one."

"Yeah I heard about ya'll sneaking around on me. Causing me to watch hockey with Bobby all night."

Jack laughed "Well we had too."

"Yeah I'm sure." Kennedy couldn't help but smile as she tried to act mad. "For real though you didn't have to get me anything else."

"Well its something small, but I wanted to get it for you. I really don't do shopping so I knew I would get lost in the mall if I went alone." Kennedy laughed "But Jenna and Laiken came to the rescue. So here you go." He handed her a blue velvet box. She looked at him and smiled before opening it. A heart shaped necklace with a diamond in the middle.

"Jack!" she accidentally yelled

"You like it?"

"I love it! Its beautiful. But I cant take this from you."

"Yes you will."

"How did you pay for this?"

"Ma, Bobby, Jerry, and Angel chipped in. So lets just say it was from all of us."

Kennedy laughed "Thank you sooo much. I love you!"

"I love you too." He leaned over and kissed her.

"This day….night is the best day of my life. I am so happy right now. Nothing can ruin this happiness."

"I hope not. I love seeing you like this." She smiled at him

"You ready to go home?" Jack asked

She nodded her head before Jack grabbed her hand and lead her to the car. That night Kennedy would never forget. She has the greatest boyfriend and the greatest friends in the world. She knew her happiness would end, but she was glad her birthday was the best. She just prayed that her father would leave her alone and let her live her life for a change. If only all things were possible.

Skye Mercer: Yeah I wanted to kick Jack and Kennedy's asses and I wanted to kill Scott because well you know….haha! But thanks for the review! Yeah I wanted to kiss Bobby too! He's soooo sweet and I wish he was mine alone with everyone other boy in that family! Hahaha! Thanks!

Cheetah girl 15: aww thanks for the review! I'm sure my friend will be ok. He has to stay off his leg for 3 months so yeah…. But yeah thanks for the ideas. I thought I would go with the one that made Jack jealous. Thanks for that! Hope you liked this chapter!

I love you guys! Ya'll are awesome! Thanks again!
