-10:30pm-
Tommy and Kimberly had walked back from the dancefloor.
"Mind
if I buy you a drink?" Tommy asked.
"Okay," Kim
smiled. "If you insist."
The two of them received their drinks and toasted to one another. As for their roommates, they were still on the dancefloor dancing away and acting crazy. Tommy and Kimberly watched as they walked over to the nearest table.
"Man," Rocky spoke out of breath. "I've never seen so much craziness on the floor."
Rocky took a sip of his drink and went back to join the bunch. The other Ranger girls continued to dance into the night with the Ranger boys. In the corner of Kat's eye, she saw Tommy and Kimberly kissing. Once again, she kept it to herself. She knew alcohol had taken a toll on the two of them, and they'd forget what happened that night.
Tommy took Kim's hand and they returned to the dance floor. They danced to several club songs when the unthinkable happened. A man came behind Kimberly and touched her.
"Heyyy!" Kimberly shrieked.
"Hey to you
too baby," the man scoffed. "Wanna dance?"
"NO!
Leave me alone!" Kimberly screamed.
Tommy looked at the man. He was as tall as Tommy, so he picked a fight.
"Don't
you ever touch her!" Tommy screamed at the man.
"Who's
gonna make me? YOU?" The man screamed back.
Before anyone knew it, a fight between Tommy and a stranger had happened in the club. As fists flew, Kimberly tried to stop the both of them.
Momentarily, club security officers came and attempted to break the fight.
Kimberly rushed over to Tommy. She was scared, but concerned for Tommy. His glasses were in array and almost broken. She touched his sore face and asked the bartender to get some ice for him.
"Here," Kim said. "This should
make you feel better."
"Thanks, Kimberly." Tommy
spoke as he took the ice that was wrapped in a bar cloth.
As the other Rangers walked over to see what had happened, they saw Kimberly and Tommy together.
"Let's go home guys," Tanya spoke. "Clubbing isn't the night for tonight."
Kimberly nodded and helped Tommy up. The other Rangers followed as they saw Kimberly and Tommy hold hands a little.
-1:45am-
The Rangers finally arrived back to their house.
Kimberly had walked over with Tommy to his room. She sat him down on
his bed and helped him undress.
"I can do this myself, Kimberly." Tommy said. "I'm not that bruised. It's only my lip, see."
"Yeah, sure its only your lip." Kim teased. "You had me scared there tonight Tommy."
"I'm sorry," Tommy said softly. "I just wanted to protect you."
Kim nodded and tugged on Tommy's shirt closer.
IN THE CONFESSIONAL
"Man, what a crazy night," Rocky mentioned. "Tommy got hurt by some dumb dude that was hitting up on Kim. This is one crazy night."
What a crazy night was afterall, one night that no one would forget -- NO ONE.
