Chapter 27

Author: Ok, so there is only going to be a few more chapters, because school is getting crazy and it would take me forever like last time to update all the time! But I hope you guys enjoyed my story as much as I enjoyed writing it!  Enjoy!

Kennedy stood at her window staring off into space as she watched the snow fall. Every now and then she would get goose bumps all over her body for no apparent reason. She walked over to the couch and got a blanket and wrapped it around her. She knew it was Jack that was bothering her. She wondered if he went with his brothers that night. She prayed they were all safe and that nothing happened to them. She closed her eyes and laid her head on the window. It was cold on her head but she didn't care. She kept thinking about earlier that day, where Jack had kissed her. She smiled to herself. She waited 3 years to feel those lips on hers again. She moved from the window and over to the couch to watch some TV. She turned it on only to find the news was on. She watched as it showed a car flipped upside down and blood everywhere. She listened to the newscaster,

"Two bodies were found tonight on Lane Rd, brutally murdered. It looked like they were being chased, and their car was flipped. The people who were after them got away, but not after they shot the two men in the flipped car, killing them. Investigators are still looking for the ones who caused this accident."

"OMG!" Kennedy replied covering her mouth. She quickly got off the couch and ran to the phone. She dialed Jack's number, but no one picked up. "Come on Jack. Pick up the phone." She kept dialing. "PICK UP!" she yelled

"Do you always yell at people who answer the phone?" Jack asked

"Jack, are you ok?" she asked

"Yeah…."

"Jack, I really need to talk to you. Can I come over?"

"Ken, it's late."

"I know, but I just really need you right now."

"Is everything alright?"

"I don't know."

"Ok, come over."

"Ok." She hung up the phone and slide down the wall. She didn't know why she was crying, but some part of her felt like she could have lost Jack forever that night. She wiped her face and slowly got up from the floor. She hung up the phone and moved over to the door.

She quickly got into her car and tried making her way to the Mercer household with out killing herself. She tried her hardest not to cry, but she couldn't keep herself from it. She cried all the way there. She ran up to the door and began banging on it yet again. Bobby slung the door open and saw her standing there drenched from the snow and her face tearstained. "What happened?" he asked letting her inside

"Where's Jack?"

"He's up in his room. Ken, what's wrong?"

"Bobby where's your car?" she asked

Bobby just stared at her. "What are you talking about?" Bobby asked

"Where's your car? I didn't see it in the driveway."

"It's in the shop."

"Did you guys get into a wreck earlier tonight?"

"Ken, can you please tell me what's going on?"

"On the news there was this wreck, and these two guys got shot."

"So…"

"Jack told me that you guys found out who killed your mom and were going to find them. Did you guys do this?"

Bobby just stared at her. "Omg!" she covered her mouth "Are ya'll ok?"

"Yeah we are all fine. Jack maybe a little shaken up, but other than that no one was hurt."

"What were you thinking?" she asked

"We wanted it to end."

She went to say something else but saw Jack standing at the top of the stairs. "Jack." She replied

"You can come upstairs." Jack replied

She nodded her head and moved over to the stairs. She walked into his room and just sat down on his bed. He walked over to the window. "So I gather you went?" she asked

"Yeah."

"You ok?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Jack, talk to me."

"Why are you over here?"

"Because I saw on the news that these two guys were killed. I just had a feeling that something was wrong."

"Why do you care?"

"Jack, stop being a jackass and talk to me. I was so worried about you tonight. I honestly thought I lost you for good."

Jack turned around and faced her. "We did it so what."

"Are you ok? Bobby said you were a little shaken up about it."

"Well I guess when you watch two of your brothers kill these men in cold blood, I guess you would be a little shaken up too."

"I'm sorry."

"They deserved it."

"You didn't deserve to watch it." She replied softly. He looked at her and finally gave in.

"It was so horrible. I mean I didn't think that anyone could feel the way Bobby felt. He has so much anger and rage. He wouldn't listen to a word I said. He just kept driving and going faster. The car had no friction whatsoever on the road, we were sliding everywhere. When we finally came to a stop, I thought it was over but it wasn't. Not even close. Angel and Bobby got out and told me to stay where I was, as they took off running. I could see through the snow that they were beating the hell out of these guys. Then everything got blurry, until I hear two gunshots go off. I didn't know what to think. I guess I was in shock, because the next thing I know Bobby is grabbing me by my coat and pulling me back to the car."

"You didn't do anything Jack. You took no part in killing those men."

"I saw it."

Kennedy closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face. "What's wrong?" Jack asked walking over to her

"I thought I lost you tonight. I had some feeling that something was wrong, then I turned on the news."

"Baby, you would never lose me like that." Jack replied sitting next to her. She looked up at him and smiled. He brushed her hair out of her face and wiped the tears from her face. Kennedy continued to stare at him.

"I love you." She whispered. Jack looked a little taken back, but didn't say anything. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. She laid her head in his chest and cried.

"Do you remember when you found that dog that was hurt on the side of the street? You wanted so bad to help it. But Bobby pulled you away and told you not to touch it because it had rabies. Someone had hit and you just cried and cried because no one would help it."

"Yeah, you took me over to the house and began singing to me, then we heard gunshots."

"Angel had killed it so it wouldn't suffer."

"Yeah, I was so mad at them for days. Why are you bringing that up?"

"I think these past 3 years have been like that for me."

She leaned up and looked at him "Ken, I never meant to leave you that day. I was so mad at you and Bobby and I guess I was just mad because I could lose you to someone like him. I was just afraid of losing you period to anyone. I thought about you everyday. Every time I would talk to Ma she would tell me how you were doing and everything. I missed you more than anything."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I miss you. I miss moments like this, where I would just hold you in my arms for hours. I miss the moments where I would wake up and you would be next to me, sound asleep, but be the most gorgeous girl in the world at that point. Every now and then when I was in LA I would look beside and expect to see you there, but you weren't. My girlfriend now loves to go out. She hates staying inside. All I want to do is stay inside and just be with her, but that's never what she wants to do. It made me think of you, because you always wanted to be with me no matter what we did."

"Jack…"

"I love you." He replied

"You have to tell me this now? I mean it's been 3 years, why couldn't you have just come back and tell me that. It takes you 3 years to tell me that."

"Yeah, I was scared."

"You don't know what has been going on for 3 years Jack. You think you know me, but you have no idea what I have been through."

"I would if you would just let me in."

She shook her head and got off the bed. "You will never understand how much I wanted to be with you. How much I want to be with you right now."

"I do understand, because I feel the same way Kennedy. I want you so bad, but you keep shutting me out. I don't know what happened in the past, but I am here now ready to understand what you have to tell me."

"My father came back Jack. Did you know that? You weren't here to help me or protect me through that." She was yelling by this time. "He walked up to me and just wrapped his arms around me like we have been best friends for years. I didn't know what to do. He sat me down and told me that he was dying and that he wanted to get things straightened out. I agreed with him. I didn't want him to die on bad terms because I would feel so guilty about it. We had lunch one day, I had went to the bathroom, when I came back he was dead. The doctors said that he just laid back and closed his eyes and went to sleep. I had no one Jack to be there for me when I saw my father's dead body. I have lost everyone in my life now. My mom is gone, my dad died, you left me, and now Evelyn. My life seems like it is falling apart and you want to be in again after everything that you said to me."

Jack just stared at her "I am so sorry about your dad."

"That's not the point Jack. You weren't there when it happened."

"I made mistakes Kennedy. All of us have. You have to forgive."

"I don't know what to do anymore."

Jack walked over to her. "Stay here with me."

Kennedy looked up at him. "And do what Jack?"

"Be with me."

She felt the tears streaming down her face. "Be with you?"

"Yeah, just be with me. We don't have to talk or anything."

She smiled at him. "Its late Ken, just stay the night with me."

"Ok." She replied.

"It'll be like old times." He replied. She started laughing.

"Yeah old times."

Later that night Kennedy woke up to see Jack laying on the floor sound asleep. She kept watching him, remembering every part of him. He hadn't changed much, and she loved that. She smiled at him. She turned over on her back and stared up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and finally drifted off to sleep.

"I need you to go back into the house." Bobby replied

"Bobby what's going on?" Kennedy asked shaking from the cold.

"Go into the house Ken and call 911."

"Bobby, I'm so scared."

"I know you are. Just do that for me ok."

Kennedy nodded her head. She took off running into the house and found the phone. She ran over to the window. She hadn't seen what happened, but she knew something was wrong.

Kennedy turned over on her side.

She went running out and saw a blood trail in the snow. She followed it slowly not really wanting to see what it was. She looked and saw Bobby holding something in his arms. "Don't come over here." He yelled

"Bobby what's going on?"

"Kennedy, don't come over here ok."

"Bobby, where's Jack and Angel?"

"Kennedy, go inside and wait for the ambulance."

"Who's in your arms?"

"Kennedy!" he turned around and yelled. As he turned around, Jack's face appeared in his arms. Kennedy stepped backwards and tripped over a pile of snow and hit the ground. "Jack." She whispered. She covered her mouth and shook her head, as tears streamed down her face.

"Is he ok?"

Bobby just stared at her. "Is he ok?" she asked again. "What happened?"

"He was hit by a car. I need you to go inside ok."

"No, I want to be with him. He needs me."

"He does need you, but you can't see him like this."

"Is he awake?"

Bobby shook his head, as tears came to his eyes. "Is he….alive." she replied not wanting to hear the answer.

"Answer me!" she yelled when she saw that he turned away from her. She moved over to Jack and saw his eyes opened and that he wasn't breathing. "OMG!" she screamed

"OMG!" Kennedy yelled shooting up from the bed. Jack quickly got up off the floor and moved over to her side. She began to cry when she saw him. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into her.

"Is ok. I'm here." He whispered embracing her. He listened as she sobbed into his shoulder. "It was just a dream. You're ok now."

"Don't leave me." She whispered through his shirt.

"I'm not going to."

"I love you Jack. I love you so much." She sobbed. He looked at her.

"I love you too. I'm not going anywhere this time. I promise." He kissed the top of her head. "Come on lets lay down." He laid her back on the bed and just held her in his arms. She laid her head on his chest, as he began to play with her hair. She wiped her face, but couldn't close her eyes because of the fear of seeing his dead body again. Jack began to hum the tune of the song he wrote her. She closed her eyes as the tears flowed down her cheek. Soon her eyes couldn't stay open and she drifted off to sleep in Jack's arm. Jack smiled down at her as he watched her sleep in his arms. He longed for this moment for 3 years and it finally came back to him. He wanted this moment to last forever, but he knew in the morning, something was going to happen and cause them to be apart yet again.
