CHAPTER 6: TELL THE TRUTH.
JACK'S POV
"AHHHHHHH!" I fell out of my bed & toppled onto the floor. "JAAAACCCKKK!" I jumped up & ran out of my room. "JAAACKK" It was coming from living room. I ran down the stairs & pass the living room. I found Kate standing on the coffee table with her eyes closed.
"What happened?" I asked concerned. She kept her eyes covered & took a deep breathe.
"There's a giant spider on the floor!" She shrieked, pointing to the ground.
"You screamed & woke me up because of a spider." She nodded her head. "Your kidding right?"
"If there was a clown in the living room, you'd cry your eyes out. SO SHUT IT!" She yelled.
She was absolutely terrified of spiders. Like me with clowns. I rolled my eyes. "Where is it?" She pointed to it. I couldn't blame her, it wasn't small. I picked it up with a tissue & flushed it down the toilet.
"Is it gone?" She asked, eyes still closed.
"Yep!" She opened her eyes & took a deep breathe. She fell down & plopped on the couch. I took a seat on the coffee table.
"Soo...How was your day with Kim yesterday." I smiled, remembering everything from yesterday.
"Good. I missed hanging out with her." I admitted.
"Did you two have fun on top of the Ferris Wheel?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We just talked, nothing happened." I stated.
"You 2 are perfect for each other. Just wait, you'll get your chance." Kate said.
Hey, It's Rudy Rudy Rudy, It's Rudy Rudy Rudy. Answer your phone, It's Rudy Rudy Rudy-
"Hey Rudy, What's up?" I asked.
"We need to talk..." He sound really worried. I shot Kate a look & she gave me one back.
"What about?" I asked, putting the phone on speaker.
"Kim." My eyes widened.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Just get to the dojo, now. Call Jerry & Milton."
"Is she okay?" I asked.
"Not exactly." Rudy said. Kate looked at me & ran upstairs. I grabbed my phone & followed her.
"We'll be right there." I hung up & started getting dressed.
I walked downstairs & waited for Kate. She came downstairs in jeans & a hoodie, with black sneakers on. We walked out of the house & started up the block. Kate called Jerry & I called Milton. They were both on their way. Once we got to Milton's house, He was walking out.
"Do we know what happened?" He asked. We shook our heads & started walking.
"WAIT!" We heard, we spun around & saw Jerry running up the block. We waited until he caught up to us & we started running again.
We got to the dojo & ran threw the doors.
"Rudy! We're here!" I shouted. Rudy came out of his office & closed the door behind him.
"What happened?" Kate asked. He sighed.
"Sit down." He said. Jerry & I sat on the mats, while Kate & Milton took a seat on the benches.
RUDY'S POV
They all sat down & I took a deep breathe. Kim was in my office, freaking out about what they will think about her. My students are sitting in front of me, wanting to know what happened.
The thing is, So was I.
"Well, Rudy. Tell us!" Milton said. They all nodded.
"So I was on my way back here last night because I forgot my phone...
-FLASHBACK-
I slowed down at the red light & looked around at the dead, dark streets. I was snapped out of my gaze when I saw a very familiar blonde running. I rolled down my window & peeked my head out. "Kim!" I yelled. She didn't answer. She kept running. "Kim!" I yelled again. She looked scared & upset.
I turned my car around & started driving after her. She ran into the park. I pulled over & parked the car. I chased after the blonde teenager. I realized she was running to the kids treehouse. She stopped at the ladder & started to slide down. I wrapped my arms around her & rubbed my hands up & down to comfort her. She cried into my chest & I just 'shhh' her. Then I heard the blonde whisper something that made my heart shatter.
"Make it stop." I looked down at her face an saw one cheek bleeding & the other was bruised. I picked her up & carried her to my car. I put her in the back seat & drove off. I took her to the dojo. I helped her to the couch in my office. I started running around for a first aid kit & the ice pack. I sat down in front of her & started going through the little kit. "I'm sorry Rudy." I heard her say. Her voice cracked when she spoke. I looked up at her & shook my head. "Kim, don't apologize, this isn't your fault." She started crying again. I pulled her up, into a hug. "It's okay, Your okay now." She cried into my shoulder, & I rubbed up & down her back.
Soon she calmed down & let me clean her up. I cleaned & bandaged the cut on her left cheek. I handed her an ice pack for her other bruised cheek. "Do you wanna tell me what happened?" I asked. She looked frightened again & shook her head really fast. I sighed. "Kim-" I started.
"Please don't make me tell you." She cried out softly. I nodded my head.
"Not now. But tomorrow, you have to okay?" She nodded her head. I leaned down & kissed her forehead. I grabbed a blanket & handed it to her. "Get some sleep." She nodded & wrapped it around herself. She closed her eyes, & I exited the room.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
Their eyes were wide & they looked worried. They all exchanged looks, but stayed quiet.
"Is she here?" Jack asked, breaking the silence.
"She's in my office...but she doesn't wanna see anyone." I answered.
"Why?" Jerry asked.
"She said 'I don't wanna disappoint them.'" I quoted Kim.
"She could never disappoint us." Kate said.
"Especially with something like this." Milton finished.
"Why would we be disappointed?" Jack asked.
"I don't know, she won't tell me." They all let out a breathe they were holding. "Wait here." I said. I walked away into my office.
KIM'S POV
"Rudy! We're here!" I heard. I shot my head up knowing who's voice that was. Rudy just shrugged his shoulders.
"You called them!" I said, a little loud.
"Wait here, I'll go explain what happened to you." He said as he started walking to the door.
"No! Please Rudy, their gonna be so disappointed in me." I begged. He turned around, keeping his hand on the knob.
"It's okay! Just wait here." And with that Rudy opened the door & walked out.
I got off the couch & walked to the bathroom. I brushed my hair & made myself look some what presentable. I have a bruise next to my left eye, a bruise on my right cheek & the cut from the knife was on my left cheek, bandaged. I took the bandage off & traced my fingers on the scar.
I walked closer to the door & tried to listen to what they were saying. I didn't know who was out there & I couldn't make out what they were saying. I moved the blinds to see who was out there. My eyes widened when I saw all my friends standing there listening to Rudy. I saw a tall, ginger-haired boy wearing jeans, a white t-shirt & a navy blue sweat jacket. A tall, black haired latino wearing grey jeans, & a red Kung Fu Lightning shirt. A tall brunette, wearing black leggings & a blue Seaford High hoodie. Then I laid eyes on a tall, muscular boy with shaggy brown hair, big brown eyes, wearing denim jeans & a black t-shirt. I sighed.
Rudy doesn't know the hole story. Then after he tells the gang, they're all gonna wanna know. I felt tears building up, but I snapped my eyes shut to make them disappear. I grabbed the giant black hoodie that Rudy got me from the store this morning. I threw it on over my long sleeve shirt & jeans. I put the hood up to kind of shield my face. I heard footsteps coming towards the office & panicked. I calmed down when I saw Rudy in the doorway.
"Kim...they wanna see you." I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. I shook my head & hugged myself. "I know your scared, but, they won't think any different of you..." I took a deep breathe & looked down. Rudy reached out his hand. "Trust me." I took his hand & we slowly walked to the door.
The door opened & all their heads spun around. I peeked out & they looked relieved at first. I pulled down my hood & fixed my hair. Their eyes widened. Kate walked up to me & hugged me. I hugged back & took a look at the 3 boys standing behind me. Milton & Jerry looked upset & Jack looked angry. Kate pulled away & moved to the side of me, keeping her hands on my shoulders.
"Kim, what happened?" Milton asked. I shook my head & went to turn around. Rudy blocked the door way & Kate still had a grip on my shoulders.
"Kim, please." Kate begged. I bit my lip & looked back over at Jack. I didn't look him in the eyes, I took one look at his face & saw hurt. He nodded his head & I took a deep breathe.
"It's okay. Just tell us who did this to you." Rudy said.
"It was my dad." I choked out. My voice cracked at the end.
Everyones eyes widened & they all exchanged looks. Kate's grip on my shoulders vanished. I grew scared when it got silent. I felt the tears coming back, but I couldn't hold them back. I let them fall & closed my eyes. I covered my face with my hands & started sobbing. I started to go down & felt someone's strong arms wrap around & catch me. I knew who it was & that only made me cry harder. He pulled me into his arms & I kept my hands on my face.
Way to go Kim! You've disappointed them!
Jack pulled away & Gently removed my hands from my face. I kept my gaze on the floor, until he put 2 fingers under my chin & lifted it up to his face. I sniffled & he wiped the tears off of my cheeks. "I'm sorry Jack." I whispered. I saw confusion flicker in his eyes. He shook his head & cupped my face.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Kim." He said softly. I shook my head.
"It's my fault, I pushed him too far. I should've just listened to him-" I ranted.
"Kim, you didn't ask him to do this. You are not to blame." Kate reassured me.
"We could never be disappointed in you, especially for something like this." Milton said.
"Kim, no one's perfect. We all got issues." Rudy said.
"You can come to us for anything. No one's gonna judge you." Jerry said.
"Thanks." I said. Kate ran up behind me & hugged me. The guys piled in & Jack wrapped his arms around me again. We were all in a giant group huge & I usually would've flipped out on them by now. But I wasn't the same Kim I was a few months ago.
I was broken.
"Thanks guys!" I said again As we pulled away.
"No problem!" Jack & Kate said at the same time. They looked at each other & laughed.
"Do you two do that a lot?" Milton asked them, thankfully changing the subject.
"Not exactly... Kate will say one thing & then I'll say it the exact same way later on. Or she says what I'm thinking, vise versa. Or I'll know what she's thinking. And I always know when she's lying to me."
"Vise versa...Except, your a much better liar." Kate said. Everyone started laughing.
'Good way to lighten up to mood.' I thought. I tried to smile, but it hurt to much.
"What happens now?" Jerry asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"Kim, you gotta tell someone." Jack said.
"I can't. He'll go to jail & I'll be put into foster care. I'll have to leave Seaford & all of you. I can't loose you guys too." I said.
"Kim, you won't loose us." Kate said. "But, you can't go back home." I opened my mouth to speak but Rudy started talking.
"She's right Kim, you have to tell the cops." Rudy said. I turned around to face him.
"But, I'll loose everything & everyone I care about!" I exclaimed.
"Not exactly." Jack said. I spun back around & saw Jack had a devilish smile on his face.
"What do you mean?" I asked. Kate grew the same smile & walked next to her brother. They exchanged looks before turning back to me. Then Suddenly Milton & Jerry caught on & joined them. "What's going on?"
"You can stay with one of us." Milton said. My eyes widened.
"I couldn't." I said.
"Why not!" Kate said. "You practically live at our house anyway. I have a box of your things in my room."
"It's true. You even have your own tooth brush in her bathroom." Jack finished. I laughed & smiled.
"You've been friends with me for like 9 years now. You've slept over tons of times." Milton said.
"I don't have much to offer, but you know I'd help you out." Jerry said. I smiled.
"You guys would really do that for me?" I asked.
"Kim, my dad thinks of you as his own daughter!" Milton said.
"My parents think you & the guys are a good influence on me." Jerry stated.
"Kim, our mother absolutely loves you. She begs you to stay over almost all the time." Kate said.
"And you've spent countless days there. What's any different than moving in?" Jack said.
"Kim, we refuse to loose another Wasabi Warrior." Rudy said. I felt tears in my eyes again, but this time they were happy tears.
"I love you guys." I said. I ran to them & we embraced in another group hug.
"So, here's what's gonna happen..." Rudy started. "Kim, what time does your dad leave for work?"
"7. Why?" I asked.
"At 7, we're gonna sneak into your house & grab your belongings. Bring them here until we solve this living situation. Then tomorrow, I'll take you to the cops & you tell them everything." Rudy finished.
"That might actually work." I said, feeling a little hope.
"Okay, so we can all meet at my house at 6:30. Then when we see Mr. Crawford left, we'll get in & get out." Milton said.
"Sounds like a plan." Jack said.
"But what do we do about school tomorrow?" Kate said.
"She'll stay here with me." Rudy said.
"What about today?" Jerry asked.
"She can just relax." Rudy said. "I have to go run aren's. I'll be back." He said. We nodded & he walked out of the dojo. Kate's phone then started ringing. She shrieked.
"It's Michael!" We all saw Jerry was heartbroken by this. He had a huge crush on Kate. Jack didn't like it but he couldn't tell him what to do. "Hey babe...WHAT...When? How..." It grew really silent in the dojo. Her hand covered her hand & we saw tears in her eyes. "I'm coming, where are you...No-No! I'm coming now...Don't argue with me, I'll be there in 5. Bye!" She hung up & took a deep breathe. "Michael got into a car crash. He's in the hospital."
"Is he okay?" Milton asked.
"I don't know. I need a ride..." She turned to Jerry. "Jerry?"
"Yeah, come on." He answered.
"I'll be back!" She shouted as she walked out of the dojo.
"You hungry?" Milton asked me. I nodded my head.
"Why don't we head to Phil's? It's on me." Jack asked. I smiled at the two adorable boys standing in front of me.
"Sure." They both smiled & put out their arms. I giggled & tangled my arms into theirs.
When I walked through the doors, I felt happy. That's something I haven't been in a while. I loved coming here, even if the Falafel balls weren't always good & the cook was a goat. It was our place. The Wasabi Warriors... The guys I loved more than anything in the world. We sat in a booth. Me, Jack on one side & Milton on the other. We talked, joked around & had a great time.
We sat in that booth for over 2 hours. Then we got bored. Milton went to track down Rudy. Jack & I went into the dojo. We sat down on the couch in Rudy's office.
It was silent, but a comfortable one.
"Jack, can we go somewhere?" I asked. He turned to face me.
"Where do you wanna go?" He asked.
"I just wanna go somewhere. Anywhere. I really need a distraction." It grew silent. I turned to face him & saw he was thinking. He grew a smile & stood up.
"Come on." He said.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise. Do you trust me?" He asked. I bit my lip & nodded. He reached his hand out & I took it. "Wait here." He ran into Rudy's bathroom & came back out with a towel. He tied it around my eyes.
"Jack?" He chuckled & grabbed my hands.
"Just follow me." He led me out of the office & out of the dojo. I felt the wind hit me when we started walking. I really wish I knew where this kid was taking me. I knew we were leaving the mall because It grew silent.
"Jack, I hate surprises." I said.
"Then why did you throw me a surprise party for my 15th birthday?" He asked. I opened my mouth to say something, but he was right.
"Touché Brewer." He chuckled & it made me giggle.
"Don't worry. You'll like this surprise." I smiled. It was quiet the rest of the way. We suddenly came to a stop.
"Can I take this off now?" I asked.
"Nope. But I suggest you hold on."
"What?" I asked. Before I could do anything. Jack threw me over his shoulder & started climbing. "JACK!" I yelled. We soon stopped moving & he put me down. We started walking a little more & then we stopped. I smelt fresh air & I felt the wind blowing in my face. Jack released my hand & I felt him move behind me. He started untying the towel. I felt it release & I opened my eyes. We were standing in the middle of the treehouse. I smiled. Jack knew this was my escape.
I told him it was. The memories started flooding back.
-FLASHBACK-
I was sitting outside on the small little pathway, surrounding the treehouse. My legs were dangling over the side & my head was leaning on a log. Tear tracks stained my cheeks & my nose was red from sniffling. My eyes were pink & puffy. I was still in my black skirt & white blouse from the funeral. I was a mess. I came to the one place where I could forget about the world around me & be happy. For the first time, It wasn't working.
I heard someone climbing up the ladder. Then I heard the creaking of the wood on the floor. I quickly wiped my cheeks & sniffled. I rubbed my eyes & fixed my hair.
"Kim?" I turned to see my best friend, Jack, standing at the doorway. I gave him a fake smile.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. He walked over & sat down next to me. He let his legs dangle over the edge, like mine. He looked down & smiled.
"I came to check on you...Are you okay?" I just stared into his eyes. I shook my head & leaned on his shoulder. I felt his head leaning on mine.
"I already miss her, Jack." I said softly.
"I know." He simply said.
"What am I suppose to do without my mom. I'm only 15 years old. A teenage girl needs her mom for everything. Who am I gonna go to for advice about guys? Or to help me do my hair & pick out an outfit? Or take me shopping? Or when my dad..." I stopped myself realizing that they didn't know about his issues. "...is being my dad."
"She's not gone, ya'know. She'll always be with you & when she's not, she'll be watching over you. When you shopping, or at the dojo, or at school...she'll be there. When you need comfort, like now, she'll be right by your side." It grew silent. I didn't know what to say. I scanned my surroundings & sighed.
"This place- It's like an escape from the real world. I come up here & forget about everything going on & just let the wind blow in my face. I take in the scenery around me. My mind is usually completely blank. I was crying all the way here. As soon as I got up here, the tears stopped. I felt hole."
"Everyone has a place like that. Kate goes to the beach, Milton goes to the Library, Eddie goes to Phil's, & Jerry goes to the old dancing studio in the mall."
"Where's yours?" I asked.
"The dojo. I can have a blank mind & just focus on what's in front of me. I'm always happy when I'm there." I smiled at him.
"I can't go a day without my mom. Even now, whenever I was crying...my mom would sit there & sing this song. She told me it was the song she sang to my dad all the time. I don't know why, but ever since I was little, It just made me feel better."
"So sing it...It's okay." Jack said.
"You won't make fun of me?" I asked.
"I promise." He said. I took a deep breathe & let the lyrics flood into my mind.
"Can you imagine what would happen, If we could have any dream?
I'd wish this moment was ours to own it & that it'll never leave.
Then I would thank that star, that made our wish come true.
Cause he knows that where you are, is where I should be too.
Right here, Right now...
I'm looking at you & my heart loves the view,
Cause you mean everything.
Right here, I'll promise you somehow.
That tomorrow can wait for some other day to be
But right now there's you & me."
I looked up at Jack & saw he was smiling.
"Is that it?" He asked.
"Maybe some day, You'll get the rest." I said happily. He chuckled, which caused me to giggle for the first time in days.
"Thank's Jack." I said.
"No problem."
-END OF FLASHBACK-
I looked up into his brown eyes & he smiled. "I can't believe you remember that." I said. He led me to the little archway & we stood right under it.
"Is it someday?" He asked. I smiled.
"Do you want it to be?" I asked.
"That song makes you happy right?" He asked. I nodded. "I want you to be happy right now." My smile grew 10x bigger & I took a deep breathe.
"If this was forever, what could be better?
We've already proved it works...
But in Two thousand one hundred twenty-three hours, a bend in the universe.
It's gonna make everything in our whole world change.
And you know that where we are, will never be the same...
Right here, Right now.
Tomorrow can wait, for some other day to be.
But right now there's you & me. You & me, oh you & me.
But right now there's you & me."
I looked into Jack's eyes & started to melt. I bit my lip & it stayed silent. We were so close, I could hear him breathing. We only moved closer. The next thing happened so fast, I didn't have time to react.
Jack closed the gap between us & cupped my face. He leaned down & kissed me. At first, I was shocked. But, I started kissing him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck & we continued kissing. I felt butterflies in my stomach & for the first time in months...my heart felt hole. After a few more seconds, we pulled away for much needed air. Our foreheads touched as we took deep breathes.
I looked up into his brown eyes & he looked down into mine. We stayed silent for a few more seconds before I let out a giggle, followed by Jack laughing. He leaned down & kissed me again. This time, I kissed back immediately. This kiss was quick, but just as many fireworks went off as the first time. My mom told me that when you kiss someone you love, it feels like sparks and fireworks are going off. I use to think that was a load of crap. But when Jack kissed me, I felt those sparks. We pulled apart again & I had a question.
"Was it obvious?" I asked.
"Was what obvious?" He asked.
"That I had a crush on you?" He shook his head. "Then how did you know? Why did you kiss me?" I asked. He started laughing. I was very confused at the moment.
Now I know what it feels like to be Jerry.
"I've had a crush on you since I met you Freshman year. I just tried so hard to keep my feelings hidden because I thought they were nothing. I didn't wanna believe I had these feelings for my best friend. But as time went on, they just got bigger...Kim, there's something you need to know..." I nodded for him to continue. "I love you." He said, with a huge smile on his face.
My straight face grew into a smile. I cupped his face & pulled him into another passionate kiss. His arms wrapped around my waist & I pulled away. "I love you too." I said. His smile returned & I giggled. Jack got down on one knee & I started laughing. He grabbed my right hand & kissed it.
"Kim, will you please go out with me." I put my finger on my lip & smiled.
"I'll take your offer into consideration." I said playfully. He shook his head & picked me up. He spun me around & I started screaming. "Jack put me down!"
"Answer me first." I started laughing.
"Put me down, or I'll cut your hair." I heard him gasp & he immediately put me down. I giggled & kissed him. "Of course I'll go out with you." He pulled me into a hug & wrapped his arms around my waist. I threw my arms around his neck.
We stayed like that for only a few seconds, until my phone ringtone interrupted us. I pulled away & answered it.
"Hey Milton." I put the phone on speaker. "Your on speaker, I'm with Jack."
"Hey Milton." Jack said.
"Did you guys leave yet?" He asked.
"We're about to go to your house now." I said.
"Don't!" He shouted. I shot Jack a look & he returned it.
"Why? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Your dad just came to my house, freaking out because you never came home last night! I lied & said I haven't seen you. Then Jerry called & said he showed up at the dojo. He's probably headed to Jack's house now." Milton explained. I looked up at Jack.
"Kate's home alone." Jack said.
"I know, I tried calling her to warn her. But she's not answering." Jack's eyes filled with worry.
"Would he hurt her?" Jack asked.
"I don't think so. He has no reason to." I said.
"Milton keep calling her. We're going to the house now." Jack said.
"Got it!" I hung up the phone & we climbed out of the treehouse.
When I got to the bottom, Jack grabbed my hand & we started running out of the park. It was starting to get dark & I was terrified my dad would try to hurt Kate. I could tell Jack was freaking out, so was I. We got to the block & I froze. Jack turned around & looked at me.
"What's wrong?" He asked me. I gulped & looked at Jack.
"That's my dad's car." Jack turned to look at the old, crappy baby blue car sitting outside of his house. He turned to me & grabbed my hand. We started running to his house. We hid behind a bush & watched the door open. Kate answered the door & froze.
"Mr. Crawford?" She saw us & then realized what she had to do. "Can I help you?"
"Where's my daughter?" He asked. I cringed as he called me that.
"I haven't heard from Kim since yesterday. Why?" Kate lied. Wow! Kate's very convincing!
"Your lying." He said. Kate's eyes widened.
"Sir, I haven't seen Kim since the carnival." Kate said. I saw my dad getting angry. I started breathing heavy. I turned to Jack & leaned into his ear.
"Get him out of here." I said. He knew what I meant. He got up & walked by the door.
"Kate." Jack said. My dad turned to see him & started walking to him. "Mr. Crawford, nice to see you."
"Where's Kim?" He asked.
"I don't know, I was about to ask you. I haven't seen her since I dropped her off after the carnival." I watched my dad's fist clench. "Why is she okay?" Jack is SOO GOOD at lying.
"You brats no something & I'm gonna get to the bottom of it." He walked off, into his car. I looked at Kate, she looked terrified. I turned to Jack, he looked relieved that Kate was okay & my dad was leaving. I watched his car drive off, before standing up. I ran into Jack's arms. I pulled away & walked to Kate.
"You okay?" I asked. She nodded her head & I pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry. I didn't know he was gonna come here."
"Then how did you know to come here?" She asked.
"Milton called us, he said my dad went to his house & the dojo looking for me." I explained.
"But why does he care if your not home?" Jack asked.
"He just wants to make sure I don't rat him out. He could honestly care less if I was dead on the side of the road."
"God for bid Kim!" Kate said. I rolled my eyes. Then I smiled, she was gonna scream when she hears about me & Jack.
"One second." I said. I walked to Jack & stood on my tip toes & leaned into his ear. "Should we tell her?" I asked. He smiled & leaned to my ear.
"Let's wait until we're all together to get their reactions on camera."
"Can we at least tell her." He smiled & laughed.
"Fine." He said. I clapped my hands & we turned to a very confused Kate.
"What's going on?" She asked. We smiled & we intertwined our hands. She saw that & her eyes widened. She gasped & covered her mouth.
"Jack & I have something to tell you."
"OH MY GOD!" She yelled. She ran to us & hugged the both of us at once. "YOUR DATING." She yelled. She smacked Jack in the back of his head. "It's about time, jackass!" I started laughing & kissed his cheek. "Awww! Stop! I'm so happy!"
"Don't tell the guys, okay?" Jack said.
"Why?" She whined.
"We wanna tell them all together. Later." I answered. She sighed & nodded. "Now, let's get to Milton's before my dad leaves."
::::
"Well, is he gone?" I asked Milton. He looked back out the window.
"His car's pulling out. Everyone grab a box." We all nodded & grabbed an empty brown box. Jack's phone vibrated. He pulled it out & his eyes scanned the screen.
"Rudy just got here, He's parked out front." Jack said. Kate ran to the window.
"The coast looks clear, let's get going." Kate shrieked.
We walked down the stairs & out of his house. We ran across the street & to my front door. I put the box down & started unlocking the door. When the door opened, We grabbed the boxes & ran up the stairs, to my room. I opened the door & gasped.
My room was destroyed. My clothes were thrown everywhere, my mattress was flipped off the bed & most of my things are broken.
"Kim..." Jack asked. I cleared my throat.
"Okay, just grab everything & throw it in the boxes." I walked to my dresser & threw in all the frames. My eyes widened when the picture of me & my mom was gone. I spun around & saw Jerry throwing any clothes lying around into his box, Kate was throwing my shoes in her box, Milton was folding my clothes & putting them into my suitcase, Rudy was throwing anything under my bed in his box & my eyes widened when I saw jack packing away my underwear. I walked up & threw everything in his box & closed the drawer.
"Watch it!" I whispered. He chuckled & started packing away my perfume & jewelry. I turned around & saw the picture, ripped in half, on the floor. I picked it up & put it in my pocket.
After a few more minutes, we had my belongings in the boxes. We had them packed by the door.
"Is that everything?" Rudy asked.
"Everything I don't wanna leave here." Then, I froze. I heard an old crappy car driving down the street. I ran into the bathroom & looked out the window & saw my dad's car was pulling in. "SHIT!" I yelled. I ran back into the room. "My dad's home!"
"What?" Jerry yelled. I opened the window & started throwing the boxes down.
"What now?" Milton asked.
"You guys are gonna jump down & get out of here!" I said, throwing the last box.
"What about you?" Kate asked.
"I need to distract him. If he sees me, he won't see you guys leaving."
"No! That's not happening." Jack said.
"We're waisting time! He's gonna be inside any second. Just go!" I said.
"Someone should stay with you. Jack's staying, We'll get your stuff to the dojo & Jerry will wait downstairs with his car. He'll drive you there when you get out." We all nodded & they jumped out.
"Come on!" I pulled Jack out of the room & down the stairs. I pulled him into the living room & behind the wall. The door opened & I held my breathe. I heard his footsteps & then the door slammed.
"Son of a bitch! If that little slut rats me out, she's gonna wish she was never born. I'll do whatever it takes to make that tramp pay!" He yelled. We heard something smash & his screams, making us both jump. I peeked over the wall & saw him going up the stairs. I pulled Jack out the door & we ran into Jerry's car.
"DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE!" I yelled. Jerry took off.
"What happened?" He asked.
"He walked upstairs. He's gonna see my room & know we were there." I said, out of breathe.
"It's okay. He won't put two & two together." Jack said.
"We can't go to the cops tomorrow." I said.
"WHAT!" Jack & Jerry said in unison.
"Kim are you crazy?" Jerry said.
"If I do, He won't stop until he kills me. He could hurt one of you & I'm not letting that happen." I yelled.
"Kim! He's not getting away with hurting you." Jack said. The rest of the ride there was quiet. When we got to the dojo, Milton & Kate just walked out of my office.
"Did my dad see you?" I asked.
"No! We were good. What about you two?" Milton asked. I looked up at Jack & we nodded.
"He didn't see us. But he probably saw my room by now." I explained. Rudy walked out of the office.
"I piled the boxes in the corner. We can go through them tomorrow, & I set up the couch."
"Thanks Rudy!" I said.
"I think you two have something to tell us." Kate said. I looked up at Jack & laughed. He joined me & the guys all looked confused.
"What's going on?" Milton asked. Jack & I grabbed hands & took a deep breathe.
"Do you wanna see what we are talking about or should we tell you?" I asked.
"SHOW US!" Jerry yelled. I giggled & took a step away from Jack. He smiled & I giggled. Then Jack cupped my face & kissed me. We heard cheering & whistling coming from the 3 boys. We started laughing & broke the kiss. We turned to them & they looked happy, yet confused.
"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" Rudy yelled.
"This afternoon." Jack said.
"WOO! Pay up people!" Jack & I exchanged looks as Milton & Rudy placed $30 each into Kate & Jerry's hands.
"You bet on us?" Jack & I said.
"Yup!" Jerry said.
"Jerry & I bet you guys would get together before spring break of this year. Milton bet it would happen over the summer. Rudy bet it would happen by the end of Summer & Eddie bet it would happen Junior year."
"WOW!" I said.
"Yeah! Gotta call Eddie!" Jerry pulled out his phone & put it to his ear. "Yo! You'll never guess what just happened! Jack made his move on Kim...Yea bro! Their together! You better mail me & Kate 30 bucks! EACH!" We all started laughing. Jack put an arm around my shoulder & everyone just kept laughing & smiling.
A/N: SOOO! Was that what everyone wanted. A lot of the reviews were asking when Jack would find out. Well, he did & now...
THEIR DATING!
I'm happy with how this chapter turned out & I have a new tradition.
After I post a chapter, I will give you a preview of the next one.
So here's a sneak peek of Chapter 7.
KIM'S POV: Jack kissed my cheek & started walking to the doors. When we couldn't see him anymore, I turned to Kate & she sighed.
"I think I like Jerry." My eyes widened & my mouth dropped open.
"Really? When did this happen?" I asked.
"Well, every since Eddie moved away...we've been hanging out a lot. Then we started dancing together at that old studio here at the mall that no one really uses. He encouraged me to join the dance team at school & I got on. When I hang out with the team, Jerry's always there because he's friends with them. We've grown a lot closer the past few months." Kate explained.
"Awww." I said. "I think you & Jerry would be cute together. Even though Jerry can be repulsive at times." Kate & I shared a laugh.
"I just, I don't wanna end it with Michael." My eyes widened when I saw someone standing a few feet away from us.
"You won't have to." He said. Kate spun around.
"Michael." Kate said. Michael was very tall, had dirty blonde hair & blue eyes. "How much did you hear?" She asked.
"Enough to know that you don't love me anymore." Kate opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "Lemme save you the trouble, we're done." He started walking out of the dojo.
"Michael it's not what you think. Just hear me out. Please!" She shouted following him.
"No! I don't wanna hear it." He pushed the door open & left. Kate turned to me & I saw tears in hers eyes.
"Go!" I said. She nodded & ran after Michael.
I sighed & walked back to the dummy. I pushed it back into the corner with the others. I walked to the benches & grabbed the towel & empty water bottle. I walked to the garbage can by the office door & threw in the bottle. I put the towel over my shoulder & turned around. I froze. Standing in the walkway was my father. And I was alone.
"What did you do?"
I'll post Chapter 7 sometime this weekend.
