"I love you Kim." Tommy says.

Kimberly starts too noticeably cry now, "Don't do this to me Tommy! I can't handle it! You call me a slut, throw a new girlfriend in my face, and tell me that you love me! You have no idea how much you hurt me Tommy. You have no idea what so ever! You told everyone that you have no intention getting back with me…"

"That's not true."

"It is to! Tommy, why say you love me after you dumped me? Why? I just… I can't describe how I feel right now. I don't even know who you are anymore Tommy. The Tommy that I knew and that I love wouldn't call me a slut. I love you so much, but I can't anymore. I have to get over the fact that you found someone else, and I will, but I need time. You want us to be friends? I don't know how to be after everything we have been through together. I want you to be happy, and if you are happier without me, well then, I hope she can make you as happy as you always made me." Kim says, and with that dives under water, and comes up on the shore. He watches her brush away the tears and then a piece of hair that fell into her eyes, then she climbs the cliff so she can join her friends.

"Tommy! Watch out!" Jason calls, "Rocky's coming down."

Tommy nods and swims out of the way and hears Rocky's call, "Woo Hoo!" And then he splashes into the water. "So, how'd your talk go?"

"Awful." He sighs.

"Did you yell at her?"

"No… I told her that I love her."

"What did she say?"

"She begged me not to do it to her, because she can't handle it. Rocky, what the hell am I suppose to do?"

"Give her space."

"I messed up…"

"She'll come around."

"What if she doesn't?"

"You have Hannah right now. See how it goes with her?"

"Is it a bad thing that every time I see Hannah I think of Kim?"

"Well." He laughs, "It's not a good thing."

"Move it or lose it you two!" Aisha calls, jumping off the cliff and splashing into the water.

Kat sees Kimberly walking up to the top, "Go on Hannah." She smiles, as everyone else already jumps off. "Just close your eyes, and jump."

"I don't know about this Katherine…"

"It's not that bad. You're only about 35 feet up now."

Hannah takes a breath and jumps, "I did it!" She smiles, as Tommy swims over to her.

"Good job." He says, kissing her cheek. "You coming Kat?" Tommy calls to her.

"In a minute." She smiles, and waits for Kimberly. "What did he say?"

"That he loves me…"

"I know he means it Kim."

"But, he doesn't want me anymore. He wants Hannah. In less than two weeks, I'm going back to Florida, and then where will we be?"

"Maybe he wants to work on the relationship now."

"What relationship? He is with Hannah. I can't keep doing this to myself Kat. I can't think about him and me getting back together, because it probably isn't going to happen. I am just sick of seeing them together."

"Well, don't think of that, let's just have a good time diving. You love this."

"I use to…"

"Come on, let's show them how to dive ok?" Kat smiles.

Kim smiles back at her, "Alright."

"Heads up guys." Kat says as they see both Kimberly and Kat jump, and complete a series of two flips with a twist into the water. Kat and Kim surface, with smiles on their faces, "You still got it girl." Kat laughs.

"You aren't too bad yourself." Kim smiles.

Kim avoids eye contact with Tommy. She knows that if she looks at him, she'll continue loving him, but if she doesn't, she wouldn't love him anymore, but she was just fooling herself. They spend the afternoon in the water and by the evening, they are ready for dinner on the beach. The girls dress in floral skirts with matching tank tops. Kimberly once again decides to steer clear of Tommy. She sits at the other end next to Aisha and Kat. They all eat, talk, and have fun, and then they plan their day tomorrow. They decided that they are going to rent a boat and go water-skiing.

"Alright, you ready for this?" Rocky says, strapping on his water skis. "Let the master show you how to get it done."

"Rocky, I am looking forward to watching you make a complete ass out of yourself." Aisha laughs, pushing her best friend overboard. She smiles as he grabs onto the rope,

"You ready Rocco?" Jason asks, as he gets a thumbs up, "Here we go."

"WAAHHHOOOOO!" Rocky says as he gets himself up. "This is AWESOME!" He screams, all smiles.

"WAY TA GO ROCCO!" Kim shouts, giving him a thumbs up.

"Way to show off is more like it." Hannah says, rolling her eyes.

"You think you can do better?" Kim asks her.

"I've never tried it."

"Neither has he." Adam says, watching his childhood friend on the skis.

"How's he doing?" Jason asks Tommy.

"Looks good." Tommy smiles.

After about 10 minutes on the skis, Rocky falls. They go back to pick him up, and he gets into the boat, "That's how you do it." He smiles, rubbing his arm.

"Arm's sore Rock?" Kim asks, laughing.

"A bit. It's hard to keep yourself up. Who's next?"

"I'll go." Kat says, "And I'll show you how a real master does it."

"No fair, you've done this before." Rocky laughs, changing his voice to use an extremely fake accent, "You Australians and your water sports."

"Hey, can I help it that I was born on a continent that everyone swims at?" She says, taking the skis from Rocky, "And if that was suppose to be Australian, you can't compete with me about that either." She laughs.

"Be careful Kat." Kim says.

"Always." She smiles. "Watch for my hand signals. I'll let you know what I want."

"Right." Adam says, as he takes over the wheel.

Kat grabs the rope and shouts, "Let's do it!"

"Systems Go." Adam smiles and starts the boat, "Kim and Aisha, watch her signals, and let me know how she's fairing."

"You got it." The girls say, as Aisha gives her a thumbs up, which is reciprocated by the Aussie on skis.

"Look at her standing me up." Rocky says, "She's good on those things."

"Practice." Kim smiles, "Adam, she wants the wakes. Take her over the wakes." Kim gives her a thumbs up and tells her to prepare for the wakes. She smiles, nods and continues skiing. After fifteen minutes, she hits a wake bigger than was expected and falls into the water. "You ok Kat?"

"Fine." She says, bobbing up and down in the water. She swims to the boat and gets in, "What do you think about that Rocky?"

"Showoff." He says, putting his arm around her. "I could do that, but I didn't want to show YOU up."

"I'm sure of it." She laughs. "Ok, who's next?"

"I'll go." Kim says, grabbing a pair of shorter skis.

"Be careful." Tommy says.

"I'll be fine." Kim replies, and gets into the water. "Take me slow for a bit."

"Will do!" Zack says, taking over the wheel.

"Let's do it." Kim says, as Zack slowly puts the boat into gear. She pulls up.

"Alright, you can go faster baby." Aisha says, giving her best friend the thumbs up. After almost ten minutes, they hit a wake.

"Shit, she's gonna hit that…" Zack says, turning his head so he can see how she was fairing. Kimberly's expression gets stern and she flies over the wake, and lands face down in the water, rolling across the top before coming to a stop.

"Shit." Tommy says, going to the edge of the boat, "Is she ok?"

"I don't know." Aisha says, "Zack, get over to her."

"She hit really hard." Kat says, standing behind Tommy.

Zack swings the boat around and gets back to her, "You alright Kim?" Aisha asks.

"That really hurt." She says. Tommy grabs her arm and helps her into the boat.

"I'm sorry Kim, I didn't see it." Zack says.

"Don't worry about it." She says, rubbing her neck. "Ouch."

"Let me see." Aisha says, pressing on her neck.

"It's just pulled… I'll be fine." She says, but before she could stop him, Tommy began to rub where her hand was. She felt herself melting under his touch, and then scolded herself for it, "Stop it Kimberly." She told herself, and then she pushed him away, "I'm fine, thanks." She says, a bit on the cold side. She is just so angry and hurt with him right now, she doesn't want to feel the way she usually does with him.

"Kim…"

"I'm fine Tommy, thank you." She says again, rubbing her neck. "Who's up next?"

"I'll go." Jason says.

Everyone gets a turn, and then they start over again, Kimberly wants to go first, "I wanna get on them again."

"Are you sure?" Adam asks.

"Yeah. My neck's feeling better."

"Alright." Jason says, knowing that the only reason she wants to get back on them is so she isn't scared of them in years to come. This time, she was very graceful and energetic. When she fell, it was hard, but she rolled on the water, instead of smacking it with her face. Rocky and Adam pull her in and she is all smiles.

"Well, I liked that fall better than my first." She giggles, rolling her neck around a bit.

"You're getting good there Kim." Kat smiles.

"Thanks." She says, wringing out her hair. "My turn to drive." She says, pushing Jason out of the way.

That night, Kimberly was not in the mood to be around any of her friends. Her emotions were too churned up, and she felt like she was drowning. They were all talking about what to do tonight, and when they decided on hanging out by the beach and doing some night swimming, Kim opted out, "You know guys, I think I'm gonna take one of the bikes and go for a ride."

"You don't wanna go swimming?" Aisha asks.

"Not really… I just wanna take a drive."

"You want anyone to go with you?" Jason asks.

"No, you guys have fun. I'll see you in a bit."

"Ok. Be careful Kim." Rocky says.

"I will." She says, and walks out of the hotel with the bike key in hand, and mounts up. She goes to the nearest gas station and fills up the bike before going on her drive. It was almost 8:00, and the sun would begin to set soon, so she decides to take a drive over to \

the mountain that people usually go to in the daytime to see the view. She wants to see the sunset. Kim dismounts from the bike, and pulls her helmet off. She runs a hand through her hair and sits on the hillside, looking out over the ocean. She didn't see anyone around, which was exactly what she wants. She wants to be alone. Her friends respect that, for now. If she stays out too long, she knows that they will come looking for her. Especially him. Kim sighs, and sits down, pulling her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on her knees. She watches the sunset, and everything turns a golden color, even the water.

"We use to watch the sunset together." She says, tears welling up in her eyes. "Stop it Kimberly. Stop it. He's gone. He's Hannah's now, not yours." Still, her mind wanders back to the day before she left for Florida.

Flash Back

"Aisha! Do you know where my hairdryer is?"

"Last time I saw it, it was in our bathroom." She calls from across the hall.

"It's not there…"

"Did you pack it?"

Kim looks at the boxes on her bed, "I am totally not going through the boxes to find out." She says, brushing her hair away from her face. All she has done today is pack. She didn't take the time to do her hair or even put make up on. 'Who am I going to be trying to impress today anyway?' was her reasoning. Tommy took her out last night for their last night together. She stayed over his house, and they stayed up almost all night, talking and just spending time with each other.

"Kim, I have a pair of your shoes…"

"Which ones?"

"The black yellow and pink ones."

"Keep them." Kim says.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. They go better with your black and yellow skirt than they do with my clothes."

"Thanks." Aisha says, sitting down on Kim's bed. "I'm really gonna miss you."

"I'll be back. I promise." Kim says.

"There is always a place here for you." Aisha says.

"Let's not do this." Kim says, getting a bit choked up. "We aren't saying good bye. I'm only going till Pan Globals is over, and then, I'll be back to finish up High School."

Aisha smiles, "I know. I'll still miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Kim says, as she sits next to her best friend, laying her head on her shoulder. Aisha tilts her head to lay it on top of Kim's head.

"Kimberly?" Aisha's mom calls up.

"Yes?"

"Do you need anymore boxes honey?"

"Three more should do it, if you have it." Kim says, sighing.

"I thought Tommy was coming over to help you finish packing."

"He was, but he has a class to teach. It isn't over till almost 10 and I am going to be done by then." Kim says, smiling at Mrs. Campbell. "I think Kat and Rocky are coming over later though."

"I'll keep an ear out for them."

"Thanks a lot."

At 8:00, there is a knock on the door. Aisha was downstairs so she opens it. "What are you doing here?" She asks Tommy.

"Hello to you too Aisha." He smiles, "Rocky took over Adam and my class for me. Where's Kimberly?"

"Upstairs packing, I'll get…"

"No, I'll go up and get her." He says, winking at her. "Keep quiet."

"She's gonna flip."

"Why?"

"She didn't expect you to be here today… and she isn't 'properly groomed'."

"She could be naked and I wouldn't mind." Tommy says, getting a look from Aisha, "You know what I mean." He laughs.

"Get up there." Aisha says, swatting at her friend.

Tommy quietly makes it up the stairs, waving to Mrs. Campbell as he reaches the top of the steps. She smiles and keeps quiet. He stands by the doorway watching his girlfriend for a few minutes. Kimberly was still trying to pack. She was beginning to put her picture albums into a box, when he decides to make his move. He walks over to her and she feels arms wrap around her waste and herself being pulled into a strong embrace. She is startled at first and turns quickly around, "What are you doing here!" She asks, hugging him.

"Rocky covered for me so I could see you tonight."

She smiles, but then gets self conscious, "I look a mess! I wish you would have told me that you were coming over." She says, trying to fix her hair, but is stopped by Tommy.

"You look beautiful." He says, kissing her forehead.

Kim looks at her outfit. She has on a tank top with a pair of black and pink shorts. "I look a mess. I don't even have makeup on…"

"You don't need it Kim. I don't care what you look like, because to me you'll always look beautiful." He says as his girlfriend blushes crimson. "What do you say you and I go out for a little while."

"I have a lot to pack still Tommy…"

"I know, and I'll help you when we get back. I wanna show you something."

"Ok, let me just get changed…"

"Come on." He says, taking her hand.

"Tommy…"

"Kim." He says looking at her with brown eyes.

She sighs, and he takes her hand, "Ok." She says. "Aisha?"

"In here." She says, poking her head out of the doorway.

"We'll be back in a little while." Kim says.

"Have fun." She says, watching her two friends walk down the stairs.

He opens the door for Kimberly like he always does, and then they get into the car. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." He says, patting her leg as he drives. Kim takes his hand and looks out the window. They drive up to Angel Grove Bluff and he stops.

"Let's go." He says, as they get out of the car and climb up to the top of the bluff. He sits down and pulls her down in-between his legs, leaning her up against him. "It's our last sunset for a while together Kim. I didn't want to miss it."

"I'm going to miss you so much Tommy." She says, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, we'll see each other. I'll come down during our breaks, and when you have a break you can come back. We'll talk on the phone, we'll write letters. It will work out. We'll make it work."

"Promise?"

"I promise." He says, kissing her tears away. "I love you."

"I love you too." She says, turning her attention back to the sunset.

They sit there, holding each other till the stars came out. Around 9:30, Tommy says, "We should probably get back so we can finish packing you up."

"Yeah." She sighs, not wanting to leave him.

"Come on." He says as she stands up and she helps pull him up.

"Thank you for this Tommy."

He smiles and takes her hand, "I'd do anything for you. You know that."

She smiles and nods. It was 9:30 when they get back to the Campbell house. Tommy and Kim go upstairs and finish packing her things. By 11:00 she was packed completely. They moved the boxes downstairs, and then they end up back upstairs. "I can't believe how empty this room is now." She sighs.

"You need to do this Kim."

"I know…"

"It's your dream. We'll still be here when you get home."

Kim smiles and stands on her tippy toes to kiss him, "Do you have to leave already?" She asks.

"Yeah. You need to get some sleep anyway. I'll be here tomorrow at 10 ok?"

"How about 9:00?" She asks.

"We'll see." He smiles. "Get some sleep."

She walks him downstairs and to his car. He kisses her good night, "I love you Tommy…"

"I'll see you tomorrow. I love you too beautiful." He says, giving her one last kiss, and then starts his car up, driving down the driveway. Kim watches him drive away and waves as he beeps. She goes back inside and upstairs, lying down with the white tiger animal Tommy gave her a year ago when she was in the hospital because she couldn't shake her flu and ended up with an extremely high fever. He stayed with her even though she begged him to leave so he wouldn't get it. He stayed the entire weekend with her and when they finally released her, he was over there every day after school checking up on her. She fell asleep around 12:30 holding the tiger.

End Flash Back

She couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She cried silently, the tears falling from her eyes. "You broke your promise. Why can't I stop loving him?" She says aloud.

Unbeknownst to her, Tommy was on the same hill watching her. He didn't mean to, but he came to the same place, not following her. He wants to go right up to her and hug her. He is the reason that she is crying. He is the reason for her pain, and he was the one who told her that he would never let anything hurt her. The sun sets and Kimberly stands up, brushing the tears away from her eyes and the grass off her outfit. She looks out at the moonlit ocean and sighs, "Is the pain ever going to stop?" She asks, before walking back to her bike and putting her helmet on. She jumps on the bike and takes off.

Tommy wanted to follow her, but decided not to. Hannah would be wondering what was keeping him, so he headed back to the beach. He sees a glowing fire burning and figured Zack and Jason built it.

"Where were you?" Hannah asks, as he comes back to his friends.

"I went with my uncle for a bike ride." He lies.

"I would have liked to gone." She says.

"Next time." He says, smiling at her.

"Did you see Kim on the way?" Adam asks, innocently.

"No." He lies again. "I have no idea where she is."

"Where who is?" Kim asks, knowing they were talking about her.

"Speak of the devil." Rocky laughs, "Pull up some sand Kimmy."

"Where'd you go?" Hannah asks.

"For a bike ride." She replies.

"But where?"

"Around."

Hannah sighs, "Ok."

Kim sits next to Rocky and Kat. Tommy watches them like a hawk out of the corner of his eye. He sees Rocky whisper something to Kim which has both Kat and Kim in stitches. "What's so funny?" Aisha asks.

"Nothing." All three say.

"Oh really?" Hannah asks which cause the three to giggle even more.

"Really." Kat says looking at Kim.

"I want what ever those three had." Zack says, shaking his head at the three who were almost in tears.

"I want in on this." Aisha says and crawls over to Rocky who whispers, "No way! You're kidding me!"

"Nope."

"Oh, My, Gosh." Aisha says, telling Trini, and then they start laughing.

Zack, Adam and Jason look at each other slyly, "What are you guys laughing about?"

"Nothing." Trini smiles.

"You have one chance to tell us…"

"Later." Rocky says.

"Now."

"Make us." Aisha giggles, "Zack… what are you doing?" She says, as he gets to his feet, "Zachary David Taylor…" She says, standing up.

"What are you guys doing!" Kim says, standing up.

"You girls gonna tell us?"

"Nope."

"Well then, I suggest you run." Zack says.

"Why?" Kim asks.

"Because you are about five seconds away from taking a swim." Rocky says winking at the guys.

"You set us up!" Kat says, as all the girls get to their feet.

"That wasn't true!" Kim asks.

"Of course not, do you honestly think Adam would do that!" Rocky laughs.

"You ass hole!" Kim says, laughing.

"Um, yeah, it's time to Boogie." Aisha says, bolting away from the guys, followed by the other girls.

"You aren't gonna win." Rocky calls, running after Aisha, "Just give up!"

"Bring it Ape." She smiles, taking her fighting stance, "You ain't got nothing on the bear. You girls with me?"

"It's been a while but sure." Kim says, stopping dead in her tracks, facing Adam, "Let's do it frog."

"You're on Crane." He says, winking.

Trini and Zack pair up, sparing like they use to, "I thought I was going to have a difficult opponent." She laughs, concentrating on Zack.

"You ready pinkie?" Jason smiles.

"You're mine Reds." She says.

The girls kick off their shoes, and strike their "original" poses, "Your move first." Trini says to Zack.

"Let's see what you girls got." He smiles.

Hannah and Tommy watch from afar, sitting by the fire, "What are they doing?"

"Sparing." He sighs. "They do this every so often, keep their skills up."

"And if they lose?"

"They go into the water." He smiles, standing up.

"Where are you going?"

"Over with my friends."

"This is so childish…"

"Childish!" He says, "What's childish about keeping up your martial arts skills?"

"Tommy, they are just goofing off… they are playing."

"And I'm going to play with them. You can come if you want, or you can stay here alone. I can teach you some things." Tommy huffs. Childish. This is what we do! We are fighters. They are the Power Rangers. We need to keep up our skills! How is this childish!

"Well… ok." She says, standing up.

"Good Kim." Adam smiles at his friend. She is really keeping her own against him.

Jason stops the guys, and each of them grab their girl, picking them up over their shoulders, "You may be able to match us, but you can't win. We are taller than you." He laughs, and each guy pitches their kicking, screaming, squirming partner into the water, clothes and all.

"Jerks!" Aisha laughs, grabbing Rocky by the leg and pulling him under. Kimberly jumps onto Adam's back, dragging him backwards into the cool water. The others find a way to get their boy into the water. Kimberly laughed until tears came to her eyes. It was just what she needed. She looks over at the two dry ones on the land and nudges Adam.

"We have two dry people over there." He says. "Shall we?"

"I believe we shall." Jason smiles, "I'll need help with Tommy."

"I'll get the girl." Rocky says, staring the two down.

"I think we're going in." Tommy laughs, "But not without a fight."

Rocky grabs Hannah in one fair swoop, next, Tommy attempts to battle the four guys, but fails. Hannah and Tommy are pitched into the water.

"Jeeze, the girls fought better than you did." Jason laughs.

"They didn't have four against one." Tommy winks.

"I'm getting cold." Kim says, and she gets out. "I'm heading back to the hotel."

"So am I." Aisha says, and the rest of the girls follow. That night, they all crash in Adam and Zack's room to watch a movie. Kimberly is still keeping her distance from Tommy.

The next morning, Kimberly wakes up early at 6:00am. She stretches and then pulls on a sports bra and a pair of her gym shorts. She has every plan on running that morning, so she ties her hair back into a French braid and heads outside. She runs a mile and then stops on the beach to look out over the ocean.

"I haven't practiced in a long time." She says, kicking off her shoes. She looks around to see how many people were there. She didn't see anyone. It was still too early. Kim decides to work on her tumbling, which would prove to be difficult on the sand, but she wanted to do it none the less.

"Alright Kimberly…" she says to herself, "Focus. If you don't you'll get hurt." She does her easiest tumbling passage first to warm up. She was quite pleased with herself. She continues to do tumbling passages for a while. If they weren't perfect, she did them again. "God, I'm already rusty." She says aloud.

Tommy chose today to go for a run also, so around 7:30, he comes across Kimberly. He watches her for a while and smiles. "She's getting good." He says. He watches her do what looks like a complicated passage even for her. When she lands, her ankle went one way and she went the other, crashing her to the ground.

"Ouch!" She says, grabbing her ankle. "I'm so stupid." She says to herself.

Tommy runs over to her, "Kimberly!"

She looks over to the voice, "Tommy." She says.

"Are you ok?"

"My ankle just gave out." She says, crying. She was happy that someone she knew was out there, even if it was Tommy. "I'm so stupid, I over rotated a bit and landed full force on my ankle, and it just collapsed… DON'T TOUCH IT!" She says, as he reaches.

"Let me see it Kim." He says, gently pressing on her ankle. "Does that hurt?"

"Only when you move it, not to the touch."

"Well, it's not broken."

"No shit." She says, frowning at him.

"Can you walk on it?"

"I don't know." She says as he begins to help her up.

"Put some pressure on it." He says, as she takes a step. It gives out again, and Tommy grabs her so she doesn't fall. "Alright, you aren't walking on this yet."

"I can do it." She says, limping.

"Let's go get it checked out."

"No. I'm fine. Just let me go." She says, walking off the pain. Finally it gets to bad, and she grabs onto Tommy's arm.

"I don't care if you are pissed off at me or not." He says, scooping her up in his arms, "I can't stand to see you in pain."

"Something you haven't cared too much about." She says, sighing.

"I'm sorry. I don't know how many more times I can say that Kimberly, I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't cut it Tommy." She says, as he carries her up to solid ground.

"Try walking again." He says, "Hopefully it loosened up."

She nods and limps. She can only take so much of the pain that was shooting up her leg every time she puts weight on it. She doesn't want to use Tommy, but she needs to. She grabs his hand and squeezes it. "Do you want me to carry you?"

"No." she says, fearing she'll need him to.

He can read her like a book and picks her back up, "Just until we reach the hotel ok?"

She nods as a tear slides down her cheek, "I just pulled it…"

"I think you did more than that Kim, it's pretty swollen."

"I turned it then, it's not that bad."

"I'd recommend you to get it checked…"

"No. It will be fine in a little while."

"If not, I'm taking you."

"What do you care huh?"

"I don't want to fight anymore Kim…"

"I don't either." She says, "I…"

"You what?" He asks, looking at her.

"I'm just sick of fighting." She covers up what she was going to say. She longs to say it, but she can't. She hates him so much right now, but she loves him. She was glad that she never said those three words, because as soon as they step into the hotel, she sees Hannah.

"Kimberly! What happened!"

"I turned my ankle." She says, limping. Tommy did as he said and put her down before they got inside the hotel.

"Well it's a good thing Tommy found you, isn't that right handsome?" Hannah smiles.

Kim's stomach lurched. That was what she always called him. She looks at his face and he seems unaffected by it. What does he care. He's got a girlfriend who is convenient.

"Kim?" Tommy says.

"Huh?" She asks, startled. He must have been trying to get her attention.

"Do you want help getting upstairs?"

"No, I'll manage." She says, toughing up and stopping a lot of the limping.

Tommy watches her and grabs her arm, "Tommy, she's fine." Hannah says, "Why don't we go for a walk before breakfast?"

"Let me go upstairs with her and then we can go." He smiles.

"She said she's fine."

"I want to make sure. Stay here. I'll be right back."

Kim looks back, grateful for the extra hand in helping her upstairs. He supports her into the room and she sits down. He goes and gets her some ice, "You need anything else?"

"No." She says, turning her head.

"Ok." He says, getting up.

"Tommy?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks." She spits out.

"You're welcome." He says, walking outside the door adding, "Beautiful."

He sighs and heads downstairs to be with his new girlfriend, when all he wants to do is to make sure Kimberly was ok. "I really messed up…" He says softly to himself, "Ready?" He asks, putting on a smile to Hannah.

"Yes. Let's go. Is she ok?"

"She'll be fine…" He says, thinking I hope. She was drawing away from everyone, and it was because of him. He just doesn't know what to do.

Kim upstairs, kept icing her ankle. "Are you alright!" Aisha asks in concern.

"I turned my ankle pretty good."

"Running?"

"Tumbling. I had to work on my routine passages, and I stepped wrong."

"How did you get back!"

"Tommy carried me."

"Oh?" She asks.

"Not like that. He must have been there, and he helped me back."

"Did you fight with him?"

"Of course… but we don't want to anymore." She sighs. "I just miss him Aisha. I miss him so much, but I hate him, even though I love him. Does that make any sense?"

"Perfect sense Kim, but listen to me, you'll get through this. We're here to help you."

"I just keep on remembering how it was when I didn't move to Florida. I was happy. Now its like I don't care what happens to me."

"Kim…"

"Aisha, I just don't care." She sighs.

"We're all here for you, and you know that. Every day will get better."

"Every day gets worse. I miss him more and more." She says, sighing. "I hate him Aisha…"

"But you love him Kim." She says, sitting next to her. She leans her head against Kim's shoulder and Kim leans her head on Aisha's and cries. "Why can't I stop loving him? Just like he did to me?"

"Maybe you never will Kimberly." Aisha says, hugging her. "That's ok too. Lets just make the best out of our last few days on the island. You are only here for another week and a half. Just make the best of it."

"You're right Aisha." Kim says, "Thanks."

"Anytime. How's the ankle?"

"Better." She smiles.

"Good enough to scuba dive today?"

"Yeah. Let's do it." She smiles.

"Alright!"

Tommy and Hannah are busy running by the waters edge, "Can we stop for a bit honey?" She asks.

"Sure." He says, as she takes a seat on the sand.

"Come sit with me." She pouts, patting the ground. He smiles at her and sits next to her.

"I love it here."

"So do I. I haven't been here in a long time."

"I'd really like to meet your cousins."

"Why?"

"Well, I'm part of your life now, and I want to know everything there is to know about you."

He sighs, "We'll visit them later."

"Promise?" She asks.

Tommy freezes. He remembers his promise to Kim, the promise he broke. "We'll make it work Kimberly I promise." He says aloud without realizing it.

"Kimberly! Tommy! You just called me by your ex's name!"

"Huh?"

"You just called me Kimberly!"

"no I didn't, I was remembering…"

"That's even worse! You and I are together now Tommy, not you and Kimberly. You dumped her for me, remember!" She says flustered.

"That doesn't mean it isn't hard. Kim was a part of my life for 4 years."

"Tommy, this isn't about you two anymore, its about us. I personally can't wait for Kim to go back to Florida, so we can be like we use to. You'll forget about her Tommy. It will be fine."

"Forget about her? What the hell do you take me for!" Tommy shouts at her, "I will NEVER forget her! That was one of her fears, did you know that? That once she left everyone would forget about her. You wanna know the worst part about me breaking up with Kimberly? That I broke a promise with her. I was the one person she could trust all the time, and I broke a promise, the promise that I could make it work."

"Tommy, things happen. We met each other for a reason, and we like each other. She'll get use to it. You know she will."

Tommy sighs, and thinks, 'maybe I don't want her to.' "Let's go back to the hotel Hannah." He says, taking her hand.

"Alright." She smiles at him.

"I'm sorry Hannah." He says.

"For what?"

"Blowing up."

"It's ok, but can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you like me?"

"Yes." He says.

"Do you still think about being with Kimberly?"

Tommy stops and looks at her, before looking out over the ocean.

"Do you?" She asks again looking at him.

He looks back at her and sighs… "Well…."
