JACK' S P.O.V

I can't believe it. I never thought I would see this day. I finally talked my mom into moving back to Seaford. Most of my arguments regarded Kim but I still convinced her. It counts. It's been two years since I've seen her in person. When I first moved to New York Kim and I would Skype and text each other every day at any point in the day but as time moved on we gradually began talking to each other less. We still text and call each other at least twice a week but I haven't seen her face in months. She refuses to send me pictures of herself but constantly demands that I send her pictures of myself. I of coarse have no problem making her happy. She claims that she looks bad every time I want her to send me a picture of herself to me though.

I guess I can't complain too much though because regardless of everything we've been through she's always been there for me and I'm grateful just to have her presence or her voices presence anyway.

When I found out that I was moving I nearly fainted but Kim was right there the minute she noticed that something was wrong. From that day on she spent as much time as possible with me for the next couple weeks and things between us started to heat up. A couple days before I left we had our first kiss and many more soon followed that one but we both decided it would be easier if we didn't start dating. Don't get me wrong, we both wanted a relationship out of it but we didn't want to deal with the long distance relationship problems.

Now was the perfect time to convince my mom to move back because tomorrow is Kim's birthday.

"Jack, I know you miss Kim but aren't you gonna miss the friends you made in New York?" My sister Grace asked. "I know I'm gonna miss mine." She's a little bitter about the move because she recently started dating a guy and he broke up with her when she told him we were moving.

"Look Grace, I know your upset about your ex but think on the bright side, your not starting over again, you can jump right back in with your old friends and I promise if you stop hassling me about this, I'll leave you and Jerry alone." My sister's always had a crush on Jerry and Jerry has always had a crush on Grace but I told Jerry not to mess with her.

"Really?!" She grew restless in her seat and I immediately regretted my decision.

"I suppose but that means you can't even mention New York to me again." I replied.

"Deal!" We shook hands and then both proceeded to look out the window.

When we arrived at our old house I jumped out of the car and ran up to my room. It was just how I left it. The dark blue walls still had holes in random places from where I'd hung my guitars and the white carpet still had a stain in the corner of the room where Kim spilled a glass of chocolate milk and profusely apologized for over an hour.

Staring at the stain, made me desperately want to go to Kim's house but I refused to. I have to wait until tomorrow. I did however decide that texting wasn't out of the question so, I pulled out my phone and sent her a message.

Jack-bold Kim-Italic

Hey Kimmy :D

Hey Jackie, I really miss you :(

I miss you too :( I got you a great present for your birthday though

You shouldn't have. All I really want is to see you. You think we could Skype tomorrow?

I think we could arrange something :)

What do you plan on doing tomorrow?

Nothing really. I'm going out to dinner with my family and hopefully I get to Skype with you.

That's it? Your not gonna hang out with the guys?

Nope. I would love to talk more but I have to eat dinner and get sone sleep.

Okay, we'll definitely talk more tomorrow.

Promise?

Promise.

I smiled as I slid my phone into my pocket. I can't wait until tomorrow.

"Jack are you going out to dinner with us?" My mom asked as she walked into my room?

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?" I replied.

"I thought for sure you'd be at Kim's house as soon as possible." She answered.

"As much as I would love to be there right now, I want to surprise her for her birthday tomorrow." I told her.

"Okay, well we're leaving in a few minutes."

While we were at the mall getting dinner I picked up the earings and shoes that I ordered for Kim. My dad led me in the general direction of jewelry and my mom helped me pick them out. My sister than added that I should get her a new pair of flats, so I did.

Right before I fell asleep I sent Kim a quick text.

Goodnight beautiful

Goodnight Jackie. I really wish you could be here in Seaford tomorrow.

KIM'S P.O.V

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss Jack. I really haven't done much since he left Seaford. I probably would've coped with it better if things between us didn't heat up right before he left but honestly I wouldn't trade that for the world. The first couple months after he moved we talked constantly. But the more that I talked to him the more depressed I got so I gradually began talking to him less. I planned on ending communication with him all together but I love him to much to not talk to him.

"Jack!" I smiled as his face appeared on my laptops screen.

"Happy birthday beautiful! It's been so long since I've seen your face." It's currently 7am. Yes that's how excited I was to talk to Jack.

"I know, im sorry, I just don't take good pictures." I laughed. We talked for at least an hour but then Jack said he had something to do. As soon as I shut my laptop the tears began to fall. This whole situation has seriously taken a toll on me and all I want right now is for Jack's arms to wrap around me like they did that final week before he left.

"Um, Kim...You have a visitor." My mom whispered as she stood outside the threshold to my room.

"I don't really want to talk to anybody right now." I whispered as the tears continued to fall from my eyes. I just miss him so much!

"I really think you should go downstairs honey." My mom said.

"Mom I don't-"

"Please honey? For me?"

"Fine." I slowly slid off of my bed and made my way to the stairs. As I look down into the foyer dark brown hair caught my eye. It wasn't Jack's though. This hair was much shorter. The hair was reasonably long but it wasn't Jack long. I knew he got it cut but he had it pulled back when we were skyping so I hadn't been able to tell just how short but I knew this was Jack. My Jack. Even more tears began to fall as I ran down the stairs and leaped into his arms. My arms wrapped around his neck and my legs wrapped around his waist.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered into his neck.

"You said you wanted me here." He replied. Jack being Jack let me cry on his shoulder for a good five minutes before I finally stepped back. "Please don't cry Kimmy. Seeing you in tears is breaking my heart." He gently wiped my cheeks with his thumbs. I was forced to look into his eyes, not that I minded, I couldn't help myself, I stood up on my toes and leaned forward until our lips met. Jack immediately kissed back, urgency evident in the way his hands moved. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his body.

"Um..." Came my dad's voice as he walked through the front door. I slowly pulled away from Jack, much to our dismay. "Kim, who is this?" My dad asked. Jack slowly turned around and my dad's face lit up. "Jack, my man!" They did their special little handshake. "Want to watch the game with me?" He asked.

"Actually dad, I was hoping Jack and I co-"

"Is your homework done Kim?"

"I didn't even have school today." I replied.

"Well then help your mother with lunch"

"I've got lunch covered. How about you go clean the grill and get to cooking." My mom jumped in, pushing my dad out of the room.

"Thanks mom." I smiled, grabbing Jack's hand and dragging him up to my room.

"So when do you leave?" I asked Jack. We're currently outside, sitting by the fire with my parents. Well Jack is sitting. I'm lying down with my head in his lap.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Jack asked.

"Well I want to know how much time I have with you before you leave again." I replied.

"Hopefully forever." He stated.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused

"Hopefully forever." He repeated. "We moved back." I shot out of his lap into a sitting position as soon as the words let his mouth.

"Your not kidding?" I asked wearily.

"I wouldn't do that to you." He whispered, kissing my head. Much like the first time I saw him today, I leaped into his arms and held on tight. I couldn't help the tears that flowed down my cheeks.

"Kim, is there something your not telling me?" Jack asked.

"No. Why?" I whispered into his neck.

"You just...not to be mean...I mean, I missed you a lot too, it's just...you seem really emotional." It was evident that he didn't want to hurt my feelings and he didn't, but this is a subject that I'm really not ready to talk about.

"I'm fine I promise." I replied, still not letting go of him.

"Hey Jack, can I talk to you for a minute?" My mom spoke up.

"Sure." He replied. I know exactly what my mom plans on talking to him about and I'm definitely not going to just sit here and let that happen. "I'll be right back beautiful." Jack said as he tried to stand up.

"Really mom?" I sighed. "Not right now please. I promise I'll talk to him as long as you stay out of it." I stated.

"Then talk to him now our I'm going to tell him myself." My mom stated.

"Tell me what?" Jack asked slowly.

"Fine, Jack can we go inside for a minute?" I asked. He nodded and grabbed my hand, leading me into the house.

"Please don't tell me your dating Jerry." Jack joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Actually, I haven't spoken to any of the guys since a couple days after you moved. I really haven't spoken to anyone other than you, Grace and my family." I whispered.

"What?"

"The only time I even left my house was to go to school." I continued.

"So you haven't even been going to the dojo?" Seeing that he wasn't going to get a response he added, "Why not?"

"All the guys ever talked about was you and I couldn't take it. Every time I went to the dojo I ended up walking home with tears running down my face." I replied.

"Why didn't you tell me any of this?"

"What was I going to say. Jack I'm falling apart without you. And then what, were you going to somehow fly back by yourself?" I asked.

"Kim, I would've done something for you. You haven't talked to anyone other than family members in two years." Jack stated. "And it's all my fault." Now that caught my attention.

"No it's not. I was the one that choose to stay hidden. It was easier to stop talking to people than to continue to try to explain why I was in so much pain." I stated.

"And I was the reason why you had to make that decision in the first place."

"Does it even matter any more. Your back and I'm not dating Jerry so how about we move forward."

"Good because I was really hoping that you would be my girlfriend." Jack stated.

"I would love to."
