Author: Ok, so this sucks! I only got 2 reviews on that last chapter! That makes me sad! Oh well, there is only 2 chapters left, so I hope you guys enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Kennedy sat in Jack's room alone, reminiscing on what happened earlier. She couldn't believe it to tell you the truth. How could her life just fall apart in a matter of weeks? She just wanted to go back to the way things were when they were 17 and nothing could stop them. She laid back against the headboard and closed her eyes.

Flashback:

"What's the plan Bobby?" Kennedy asked trying to keep up with him and Jack.

"I don't know. Why did you come with us? You don't need to be involved in this?"

"Because this is my family too."

Bobby just glanced back at her before quickening his already fast pace. "Are you going to kill him?" she asked

"I don't know. I don't know what we are going to do." Bobby replied

"Then what's with the gas can?"

He stopped in his tracks and turned around "Look, I don't know. I am pissed as hell right now and I don't know what to believe, but I do know that I am going to find out what is going on and if this gas can gets me the answers that I want then so be it." With that he turned around and began walking again. Kennedy just stood there for a moment in shock. Jack looked back at her with sympathy in his eyes. She rolled her eyes and began walking again. They stopped at a car, a very nice car and she watched as Bobby broke the back window and began pouring gas all over the inside of the car. She could feel her stomach tighten. Jack kept his eyes on her the whole time, not really wanting to watch either. "Come on!" Bobby yelled running away. They hide behind a car and waited for a big black man to come out of the building. Just as he made it to his car Bobby popped out of their hiding spot. Kennedy found that her legs wouldn't let her move. She stayed there and closed her eyes praying that nothing happened to this man. Before she knew it she was being ripped on the ground and in Jack's arms walking to the car.

"What happened?" she asked

"We found out who it is." Jack replied "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I guess I just dazed out a little."

"Yeah, well that's a good thing."

Kennedy tried to laugh but couldn't. They got into the car just as Bobby's cell began to ring.

"Hello? Where the hell are you at?...What's going on Angel?...Ok we'll be there in a few minutes." Bobby hung up the phone and sped out of the parking garage. They rode in silence for a while, mostly because Kennedy was afraid to talk and Jack just didn't know what to say. Kennedy looked out the window and saw that they were at the bowling alley

"So now we get to go bowl, after we just tried to kill someone. This is great!" she replied sarcastically

"Angel's here." Bobby replied glaring at her

"Why?" Jack asked

"I don't know. He just told us to meet him here. He needs to tell us something. He sounded urgent."

"How do you know?" Jack asked

"Because I know my brother. Come on." Bobby quickened his pace and ran into the bowling alley. Jack grabbed Kennedy's hand but she pulled away

"Jack, I don't want to go in there. I know something is wrong and I don't want to know what it is. I have this horrible feeling in my stomach and I am so scared."

"Everything is going to be ok. Nothing is going to happen. I won't let it." Jack wiped the tears off Kennedy's face and grabbed her hand again. They walked inside and saw Angel and Bobby sitting at the bar.

"What's going on?" Jack asked

"You see that boy over there?" Angel asked

"Yeah." Bobby replied

"That's Evan, you remember him don't you Bobby? He and Jerry went way back together, in the Union days."

"Yeah what about him?"

"Well he's got mixed up with guy a named Victor. You think maybe it's the same Victor you just told me about?"

"Victor, who the hell is Victor?" Kennedy asked

"Why did you bring her here Bobby?" Angel asked

"I want to be here."

"It's too dangerous."

"Well I am here now, you can't change that."

"Ok, go on with the story." Bobby replied

"Well Jerry owes a lot of money to a lot of people, bad people." Angel kept going as Jack walked away with a beer in his hand. Kennedy followed.

"Shit!" Jack replied. Bobby and Kennedy looked up. Jerry was standing there with Evan.

"Omg!" Kennedy covered her mouth.

"What the hell?" Bobby asked

"He's got mixed up with a lot of people Bobby."

"Why don't we go pay him a visit." Bobby replied. He slammed his beer down on the counter and walked towards the direction of Evan. Kennedy remained at the bar. She couldn't tell herself to move. The boys didn't even notice that she wasn't with them. She watched as Evan's eyes were full of fear and Bobby began talking. She was afraid Bobby was going to kill him right then and there in the bowling alley. She closed her eyes as tears formed. She opened them again to see Jack coming towards her.

"Come on lets go." Jack replied

"What?"

"We are leaving. Come on."

"Jack I want to go home."

"We are, come on lets go." He grabbed her arm and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. She climbed in the back seat with Jack behind her.

"You ok?" Angel asked turning around

She just looked at him "Can we just go home?" she asked. Angel didn't reply, except he turned around and started the car. Kennedy leaned over and laid her head on Jacks shoulder, until she felt the car come to a stop.

"Why are we here?" Jack asked

"What?" Kennedy replied sitting up

"We are going to go in there and we are going to have a little talk with Jeremiah. Then I am going to beat the living shit out of him."

"Bobby's his family is in there." Jack replied

"Do you know what he did Jack? He fucked us over!" Bobby yelled.

"He is your brother." Kennedy replied

"He's family. We can't do this." Jack replied

"Look man lets just call him." Angel replied

"No I want to go in there." Bobby yelled

"No, we can't." Kennedy cried "This isn't right."

"Fine call him!" Bobby replied throwing his body back against the seat.

"It's ok Bobby. Just calm down." Jack replied patting Bobby's shoulder who just shrugged it off.

Kennedy turned away from everyone and began crying. She heard Angel talking to Jerry and asking him to come over in the morning. She laid her head on the cold window and just closed her eyes. She felt Jack's hand come over her face.

"Ken, you ok?" he asked

She nodded her head but didn't open her eyes. "You are running a fever."

"It'll be ok." She whispered.

"Angel, lets get her home." Jack replied

"Is he coming?" Bobby asked

"Yeah he's coming."

"Good!" Bobby spat. He turned around and saw Kennedy who was now sweating. He laid his hand on her face. "Lets go home."

Kennedy opened her eyes and saw Bobby staring at her. The only time of the day he was actually decent to her. Jack pulled her over to him and took of his leather jacket and wrapped it around her body. She felt the car begin to move.

"You're going to be ok." She heard Jack reply, but in the distance. She tried opening her eyes but her mind wouldn't let her. She just drifted off into a deep sleep.

Kennedy now sat up in Jack's bed with the blanket wrapped around her, waiting for Jack to come back to bed. He came up there once to see if she was ok, to talk to her for a minute only to go back downstairs. She turned to the clock and saw that it was 6:10 in the morning and he has yet to come. She knew something was wrong, everything in her body told her something was wrong. She wanted to get up to go find him, but she couldn't. She was scared to death of what she might find. Jeremiah was suppose to be coming in 2 hours to their house and she knew Bobby was going to beat the hell out of him. She knew something bad was going to happen and the Mercer's might ruin their whole family. The family that she grew to love more than anything, could be no more in just two hours. She felt her forehead. Her fever seemed to have gone down. She only remembered waking up after she heard a door slam. She suspected it was Bobby, he was pissed and she knew it. She really couldn't blame him. He thinks his own brother had something to do with his mother's death. The only woman that actually gave him a chance. Even though he would never tell you, he was a mama's boy big time. Kennedy smiled. She laid back again and watched the clock. She felt herself drift off to sleep again, only to be woken by footsteps coming upstairs. She quickly looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:50. She got up from the bed and put on some warm clothes. She got up to quickly and almost fell over. She braced herself on the headboard and began walking to the door. She took small steps knowing she was sick, but she had to find out what was going on. It was killing her inside. She slowly walked downstairs. She heard talking in the living room. She slowly walked in and saw Jack and Angel sitting on the couch.

"Baby, go back to bed." Jack replied

"Yeah sweetheart. You are really sick. You don't need to be up." Angel replied

"Where's Bobby?" Kennedy asked

"He's in the kitchen." Angel replied

"And Jerry?"

"He's on his way." Angel replied

"Please go back upstairs and go back to bed. You don't need to be down here. You look horrible and I don't want you to get any sicker." Jack begged

She smiled at him a little and nodded her head. Just as she was turning around to go back to Jack's room, Jerry comes walking in to see Angel glaring at him

"What?" he asked

"You know what you did" Angel spat showing the money from the envelope

"No…you don't know who you are fucking with." Jerry replied "Where's Bobby?" Just as he turned around Kennedy saw Bobby come flying towards him.

"Bobby!" she yelled but it was too late. He had hit Jerry in the face, which caused him to hit the ground. Jack got up and grabbed Kennedy's hand and moved her out of the way. She covered her mouth not knowing what to do as Sofi came running in.

"What are you hiding Jerry? Say what are you hiding? I swear to God Jerry if you had something to do with ma's death I am going to kill you right here and now."

"No Bobby!" Sofi yelled

"Now Angel, is going to ask you some questions, your brother. I shit you not the time for lying is over." Bobby replied letting go

"What?" Jerry asked

"We know you lied about your business and we know you got mixed up with some gangsters."

"What a minute, hold on." Jerry replied just as Bobby kicked him down

"Stay down!" Bobby yelled

"What you guys think I had something to do with ma's death?"

"You got a check for 400,000 that you just so happened to forget to mention for ma's life insurance." Angel replied

"She took the policy out for the girl's man. I didn't have anything to do with that." Jerry replied sitting up.

"You made the payments." Jack replied. Kennedy's head shot straight over to Jack

"Good timing Jerry. Just win all else's fails for you, ma gets shot up by some gangsters and you hit the fucking lottery."

"Y'all tripping 'cause I made insurance payments? I paid all her bills! Where the fuck were you? How many years did I have to take of her myself. You were all doing nothing!" Jerry got up and punched Angel in the face which caused Kennedy to get up.

"Sit down!" Bobby yelled pointing his finger at her. She quickly sat back down with Jack who wrapped his arms around her.

"You guys are telling me that I killed her, after I did all that by myself. Come on man!" Jerry replied

"Why would you pay off a killer like sweet and what the fuck did he ever do to you?" Angel replied

"What did he do for me? He killed my fucking life. I put everything into that project. I bet it all trying to make something of myself. Then Vic comes trying to take a piece."

"You got in bed with him didn't you jerry?"

"No, no I didn't pay him. That's how he fucking shut me down."

"I thought the government shut you down." Jack replied

"Douglas, no come on man this is Detroit. Sweet on Douglas." Jerry replied "He aint nothing but a gangster in a suit. I don't pay him and they shut me down."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Jack's eyes got real big, but then he didn't think anything about it. He grabbed Kennedy's hand and motioned for her to stay at the door of the living room. She nodded her head. He opened the door to hear someone yell, "Your mom was a whore." Kennedy heard them reply. She moved forward.

"Hey fuck you man. I will kick your…." A snowball hit him square in the face. Kennedy jumped back a little but moved over to the door just as Jack went running out it.

"Jack!" she yelled, but he was already outside.

"Just stay there, ill handle this." He took off running collecting a snowball in his hand, but as he got closer Kennedy could feel her stomach turn. The guy turned around revealing a Jason mask. She covered her mouth just as he pulled out a gun. "No!" she screamed. She took off outside, just as she heard a gunshot. Her eyes shot straight towards Jack's body as she watched it hit the ground. She stood there for her it seemed like days, before she could feel her body give out on her and she hit the ground herself. She laid in the snow for minutes until she felt someone's hand come over her body and drag her inside. She opened her eyes as she heard gunshots outside. "Bobby!" Jack screamed. She lifted herself off the ground and looked out the window. She saw Jack laying on the ground screaming and crying.

"Jack!" she screamed. Angel covered her with his body just as shots came flying by their heads. She began screaming, crying thinking about how she could lose him. She had to get to him and be with him.

Flashback:

Jack walked upstairs to check up on Kennedy for the 10th time since they came home. He had taken her upstairs to his room to let her sleep, but she woke up to the sound of Bobby slamming ma's door. He watched her open her eyes and smiled "You ok?" he asked

"Yeah I don't know what happened." Kennedy replied

"You passed out on me. You were running a little fever."

"I think I am getting sick."

"Yeah I do too. Just lay there and go back to sleep. You will feel better in the morning."

"Jack, is everything ok?" she asked

"It will be." He replied. He rubbed the side of her face before leaning down and kissing her on the forehead. "I have a question." He replied

"Yeah." She whispered

"When this is all over, will you marry me?"

Kennedy looked at him "What about….?"

"I broke up with her." He replied with a smile "I told her I couldn't deal with it anymore and I found someone else that I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with."

Kennedy smiled at him "Then of course I will. It would make me more than happy to be your wife Jack Mercer."

He smiled at her and grabbed her. He pulled her up to him and wrapped his arms around her. "Finally, I get to have you all to myself and I will never let you go." He replied.

"JACK!" she screamed. She saw Jerry began to freak out. She didn't know what to do. She watched as he went into the kitchen. Was he running? She took off after him tripping over her own feet almost falling to the ground. She saw him in the kitchen, but then out of the corner of her eye she saw someone coming to the door. She hide behind the wall just as the door was being shot opened. Jerry came out of nowhere and stabbed him. She tried to laugh in relief, but found herself crying. He grabbed her hand and took off outside. They got into his Volvo "What are you doing?" she asked "Your family needs you. Jack needs you."

"I'm scared." He admitted

"I am too. I am so scared right now." She sobbed. "I need to get to Jack, Jerry. I need to be with him right now."

He looked at her with tears in his eyes. He started the car, just as they saw a van come flying towards Bobby.

"I need you to hold on ok." Jerry replied. He stepped on the gas and rammed the van. Kennedy shot forward hitting her head on the dash. She sat up in a daze but quickly realized that Jack was dying. She got out of the car and stumbled over to him.

"I'm here." She replied "I'm here baby." She sobbed. She started rubbing the side of his face. "I love you and I am not going anywhere. You're going to be ok."

Bobby and Angel came running over. "Jack, hold on ok. Don't you die on me you little fairy. You hear me!" Bobby replied as tears flowed freely down his face.

"Jack, please hold on ok." Kennedy begged

"Someone call an ambulance!" Angel yelled

Sofi came running out of the house with her cell phone in her hand. "I'm calling, I'm calling," she replied. She quickly dialed the number.

"I love you Jack. I love you so much. Please hold on ok. You are going to be alright." Kennedy replied

"Jack, don't you do this!" Bobby declared

Kennedy watched as Jack tried to say something. "Don't try to speak baby, just breathe. Take slow deep breaths. You are going to be fine. I wont let you die." Kennedy replied "God, cant do this to me this time. He cant. Its not fair." She replied

"I'm.scared." Jack replied. Kennedy grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She began to bawl as she held onto him. There was blood all over the place, on her hands, on her shirt, on the snow, she had never seen so much blood in her life.

"Don't be scared. I am right here with you. You don't have to be scared Jack. Nothing is going to happen to you. You are going to get through this. You have to."

"I.love.you." he whispered

"Don't!" she sobbed "Don't say that until you get better."

Jack began to breathe heavily. "Jack!" she yelled "Jack, don't do this to me! Don't be the one to leave again. Not again!" she begged

Jack smiled at her as blood came pouring out of his mouth. Kennedy laid her head into Jack's hand and began to sob uncontrollably.

"We are going to get married. Do you hear me!" she yelled. "Don't take him away from me. You gave him back and now you want to take him. How is that fair? Don't do this!" she begged. "I will do anything. Just tell me what you want me to do. I will do it. I swear, just don't take him from us. We need him. I need him."

"Jack, hold on." Bobby replied. "The ambulance is coming man. I can hear it. Its coming. Just hold on."

"Jack, you remember when Angel got hurt and we had to take him to the hospital. You were right by his side begging him to stay alive because you couldn't live without him. He was your older brother and you needed him." Bobby replied "I need you right now. I know that you are way younger than me, but I need you. I need you more than anything and I don't think that I can handle losing you too. I just lost ma, not you too. I love you man. I love you so much." Bobby sobbed.

Jack closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep.
