TomKimluver: Aww, Kim has leukemia? Poor Tommy...how is he gonna take it? Please update soon!
(Let's see how he's gonna take it)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy just stood there mouth agape. This was definitely not what he expected to hear. He thought she will say that she no longer feel for him or her heart is already given to another guy but definitely not this, leukemia?! Thats…..thats too, unexpected. He does not know what to say.
Kimberly waited for his response, any response will be fine, but he just stood there, it is too much for her to bear, she looked down and whispered 'sorry' before running up to her apartment.
Tommy is still standing in the middle of the road, thank god there is not much car late this night. He just can't accept the fact that Kimberly has leukemia, how could he be so dumb? Look at how thin she is, it's kind of obvious, and she always seems weak when they are having an argument. Oh god, oblivious Tommy, that's what the gang used to call him, and they are right.
He turned to his jeep, "I can't believe this," he muttered. The woman he always loved is suffering yet all he did was argued with her. The thought of her suffering hurt his heart, then he stopped abruptly, another thought came to his mind and his eyes widened in fear, she is gonna die. No! I will not allow it, there must be a way! He got on his jeep and sped off, as Kimberly watched from her apartment window, her worst fear is has became true, Tommy left her for good.
The next few days isn't going so well for everyone. Tommy was always nowhere in sight. Things are still pretty tensed up between Trent, Kira and Conner. Kira was the only one from the gang at the cyber café. Actually she is there to look for Trent, but Haylie say he did not report in for work. Just then Conner walked in and immediately noticed Kira.
Walking over to her, "Hey, haven't really see you in a while,"
Raising an eyebrow, "We are in the same class, Conner,"
"Oh, wasn't what I meant, what I mean is that you're always gone after the class,"
"Do you want me to sleepover in the school?" giving him the brushing off attitude.
Conner tried again, "What I meant is you're avoiding me,"
Kira turned around to face him, "What, after what you did, you expect me to just 'hang out' with you?"
Conner let out a huge sigh, "Look, I'm sorry, I need to know—"
"Oh, so you just kiss first and think later?" Kira snapped.
"Look! I need to know if you feel something for me," Conner explained.
"Yes, and forcing a kiss is a good way of finding out," Kira said with anger and sarcasm.
"What else do you want me to do?"
"ASK!"
"Well I…."
"That's you're problem Conner, you don't think before you act,"
Conner look hurt, "Is that what you think,"
Kira ignored him.
"Don't brush me off, you say ask, well, I'm asking now, do you feel anything for me?" Conner waiting patiently for her reply, but Kira just continued to ignore him. Getting no response from her, he left in frustration.
"Was that necessary?" a voice said. Kira turned around and saw Haylie.
Kira just buried her face in her hands.
Haylie walked over to her and rest her hand on her shoulder, "It's not fair that you're lashing out your anger at him when he is trying to tell you something,"
"I know, but I can't help it, I'm so vexed now!"
"Have you made a choice?"
Looking up, Kira said, "I….I can't"
"Why?"
"I always hate choices, and this time, I really did not know how to choose,"
"Follow your heart,"
Kira smiled, "You know, you're good at advises, regarding which area of it,"
Haylie smiled back, "Thanks, but I gotta go though,"
"Where?"
"Tommy's place, he's like vanished into the air, I better go check on him,"
"I'll go with you," Kira suggested.
"I was about to ask you to help me look after the café,"
Just then Ethan walked in, "Hey people, what's up?"
"There, problem solved," Kira said.
Tommy's house
Haylie and Kira arrived at Tommy's house to find it in a mess. They try knocking but no one answer, using the secret lab entrance; they made it in to Tommy's house. The house is in a total mess, books were all lying around. They found Tommy sleeping on the chair with a book in his hand.
"Dr O?"
Haylie shook him gently, "Tommy, wake up,"
Tommy stirred, before opening his eyes and jumped in shock, "How did you get in here?"
"Lab entrance," Kira explained, "And what's with all this books? They are all medical stuff. Are you planning on a PH.D on Medical?"
"No, and don't touch my stuff," Tommy said, before going to the toilet to wash up.
When he came back, he saw the 2 ladies touching his books.
"Hey! Don't mess it up!"
Kira chuckled, "It's already a mess when we're here,"
Haylie picked up a book from the floor, it says, All about Cancers "Tommy, you have cancer?"
Kira eyes widened.
Snatching the book from Haylie, Tommy said, "No, and please leave, I'm busy,"
"No way Tommy Oliver, what is going on?" and before he can say anything, Haylie continued, "You can tell me now or I can find out on my own, and I swear it's not in a good way," Haylie's tone means no nonsense.
Tommy sighed and slumped onto the sofa, "Kim,"
"She alright?" Kira asked in concern.
Tommy shook his head, "No, she…..she has leukemia," Saying that just make his heart ache.
The two ladies was shocked.
"Oh my god, Tommy, is it real? Did you actually confirm with her, who told you this?" Haylie asked.
"Yes it's true and she IS the one who told me that,"
"What?!" Kira said in disbelieve.
"I've been reading through books to see if there's a way to cure it,"
"What about her?" Haylie asked.
"What her?"
"Have you talked to her?"
"Well yeah, that's how I know she has leukemia,"
"No, I mean after that,"
"I was pretty much shock and she left and then I left,"
"So you have not seen her nor talk to her since then?"
"No,"
Haylie smacked him on the head.
Rubbing his head, "Ouh! What's that for?"
"You left her there and never talk to her again,"
"Ya, I was looking for help, any ways to help her,"
Haylie crossed her arms, "But does she know that?"
Finally getting what Haylie meant, he muttered, "Oh shit," before grabbing the car keys and rushed out.
Haylie just shook her head and went about helping him clean up the place. After snapping out of shock, Kira wnt to help Haylie with the cleaning.
Tommy stood impatiently outside Kim's apartment, he already rang the bell lots of times, but no one seems to answer. He feel like kicking himself on the head, Kim must have thought he wants nothing to do with her after he learnt that she has leukemia. Getting real impatient, he practically bang on the door.
"God, you're gonna break down my—" Aisha opened the door and looked a bit surprise to find Tommy stood there, "—door"
"Hey Aisha, is Kim in?" Tommy smiled nervously.
"Yeah, sure, she's in her room, and cute hair,"
Tommy unconsciously touched his hair, "Thanks, can I see her?"
Stepping aside, "The second room from the kitchen,"
Giving her another thankful smile, he went in, easily finding the room; he knocked on the door and heard a weak 'come in' voice.
Opening the door, his heart immediately shattered to pieces, Kim looked so ill in bed.
"Tommy?!" Kim shrieked in surprise.
"Yea beautiful, no, don't get up," he said, rushing to her side to settle her down.
"What are you doing here?"
"To apologize,"
Seeing Kim's blank look, he continued, "After you told me that, I'm just too shock to say anything, everything is like shouting in my mind, saying it's impossible, and I went off, trying to look for ways to help you, and then I realize one thing, you may thought that I left you for good,"
"Tommy…."
"I will not leave you, ever," Tommy said earnestly.
Tears started to flow down her cheeks, "Tommy,….I don't know that to say,"
Holding her hands, "You don't have to say anything, jut rest, I'll go and look for ways to help you,"
"No!" Kim grabbed his hand before he can go, "Could you…hold me?"
Tommy smiled gently and came to her, and wrapped her in his arms. She put her head down on his chest.
"There never was another guy isn't it?"
Without moving her head away, "No,"
No more words, everything had been answered in silence; there was never another guy, just this illness she's been fighting. They stayed in each other arm before both dozing away.
A/N: I just wanna have a sweet ending for this chapter, again please review, let me know how you feel about it. I haven't much thought of whether should Kira should be with Trent or Conner. Give me some suggestions and thanks for reading.
