HEY GUYSSS! Here's Chapter 7.
Oh & I recommend that if you are like me & enjoy reading with music that sort of goes with what's going on, then you should play either "Anthem of the Angels" by Breaking Benjamin "One More Night" Maroon 5 ORRR "Nobody's Home" Avril Lavigne.
ENJOY!
CHAPTER 7: IT'S GOING DOWN!
KIM'S POV
I was trying really hard to ignore the annoying pit in my stomach, as I got ready. I finished straitening my hair & started doing my make up. I was finished around 9 am. I walked out of the bathroom & changed. I put on a long sleeved pink shirt, with dark denim jeans. I grabbed my black Uggs & walked out of the office. Rudy stood up from the bench & walked to me.
"You ready?" He asked me. I nodded my head & forced a smile.
"It's now or never." He nodded & we walked out of the Dojo, towards the parking lot. The more we walked, the more nervous I got. As we got into Rudy's car, I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. I shook off the feeling as Rudy started the car & drove off.
JACK'S POV
I closed my locker & started walking down the hall to my 3rd period class - Health Class. I walked through the door & took my seat, next to Jerry who was surprisingly early.
"Your here early?" I said. He nodded & sat up.
"I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about Kim & her dad." Jerry said.
"So am I. I've been texting her since I woke up. She said that their going to the station now to talk to the cops." I explained.
"Good. Send that dirtbag to prison." Jerry said. I chuckled.
"You have no idea how hard it was to be in the same house as that jerk. If Kim wasn't holding onto me, I would've lost it."
"He's despicable." Jerry said. My eyes widened.
"Jerry! You just used a big word!" I yelled. Jerry nodded. Then he jumped up & his eyes bugled.
"Yeah! WOOO! Jerry's not a dummy anymore Chica's!" He shouted. I chuckled & rolled my eyes.
"I just can't wait until school is over & I can go be with Kim." I said.
The bell rang & Ms. Applebomb came in & started writing on the board.
Just a few more periods, Jack. Then you can be with Kim.
::::
KIM'S POV
We walked out of the police station & felt relieved but scared. I was worried what would happen from this point on. I stayed silent the hole way back to the dojo. I couldn't help but think about my mom. Today was her birthday. I looked out the window of the car & into the sky. I smiled at the sun, trying to fight it's way through the dark storm clouds.
The car came to a stop & we got out. We walked to Phil's for a late lunch. We ate quickly & then walked across the courtyard, to the Dojo. Rudy & I separated to change. I left the shirt on & grabbed my black sweatpants. I walked out & put a punching dummy in the center of the mats. Rudy came out in the clothes he was wearing this morning.
"I have to go get a few things, you okay alone?" He asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah. The guys should be back from school soon any minute." He nodded & walked out of the dojo.
I turned to face the dummy & let my rage take over. I kicked & punched as hard as I could, eventually sending the dummy to the ground. I became exhausted quickly, but ignored it. I need to get back into shape. I didn't wanna be this weak victim anymore.
JACK'S POV
Come one! Ring already! Is all that ran through my head as I sat in my last period class with Milton. We had one minute until the bell would ring & I could go. It felt like the longest minute of my life. Probably because I was staring at the clock.
Finally, the bell rang. Milton & I jumped up & ran to our lockers. We threw our books in & went to the staircase to meet Kate & Jerry.
"Where are they?" I asked.
"Jack, relax, the bell rang a minute ago. They have to make it from the 3rd floor, to their lockers & then come to us. Patience." I rolled my eyes & listened to Milton. Soon, Jerry came down & quickly ran to his locker. Then, Kate came from the other direction where her locker was & met us. We soon took off to the parking lot & hopping in Jerry's car.
"How do you think it went?" Kate asked as we drove.
"They probably sat her down in an interrogation room & asked her for evidence & a detailed description of everything that happened." Milton explained.
"Thank god she didn't have to do this alone." I said. They all nodded & we all became relieved when we saw the mall in the distance. Jerry pulled into a parking spot & we all jumped out. We ran until we reached the dojo. We peered through the window & saw something that no one thought that they'd see anytime soon.
Kim beating the crap out of a dummy.
"She really is a strong Mamacita, isn't she?" Jerry said.
"Got that right." I said. We walked through the doors as Kim kicked the dummy to the ground. "Look at you." I said.
She turned around & smiled when her eyes met mine. I walked up to her & gave her a peck on the lips.
"Hi." She said. I smiled & we walked to the benches. Kim grabbed her water bottle & started chugging it down.
"How did it go?" Milton asked. She removed the bottle from her lips & gulped.
"Good I think." She started. She sat down on the bench next to me. "They asked me questions like 'when did this start?' & 'describe how he appeared when it happened.' When I left they were sending officers to my house to pick him up."
"That's good right?" Jerry asked. Kim seemed hesitant to answer.
"Let's hope." She said.
"Don't worry. That maniac will be behind bars for the rest of his life soon." Kate reassured her. Kim smiled & sighed.
"I know." she said.
Milton's phone rang & he went to answer it.
"Hey Julie...Wait, calm down. What happened...Oh my god! Is she okay...Yes I'll be right there." He hung up his phone & started to panic.
"What happened?" Jerry asked.
"Julie's at the hospital. Apparently her mother collapsed. Jerry can you drive me?" He said all in one breathe.
"Yeah! Let's go get my car!" He answered. With that, the 2 boys exited the dojo.
"That's weird. First Michael gets into a car crash, then Julie's mom collapses. Is that just a coincidence?" Kate asked.
"Yeah, what happened to Michael anyway?" Kim asked.
"He was at a red light when some maniac kept driving. The crazy guy drove straight into his car & into a tree. When I got there they said they he should be fine. Thankfully." Kate said.
"Who was the other driver?" I asked. She shrugged.
"No one knows. He made a smash & dash!" Kate said.
"How are things with you two?" Kim asked. Kate looked nervous to answer.
"Honestly, I don't feel it anymore." She answered. We gave her a confused look.
"What do you mean? I thought you loved him?" Kim asked.
"I did-I do. But, I've been with him for over a year now. I just feel like we're drifting apart." Kate admitted.
"When was the last time you like hung out with him?" I asked.
"Like a month ago. We don't spend anytime together anymore, but we don't mind it. And I think I like someone else." Kim shrieked like a little girl on christmas & clapped her hands.
"Who! Tell me!" Kate looked up at me & bit her lip.
"I'd rather not. Big brother in the room." She said, gesturing to me. Kim looked up at me & gave me a look.
"What?" I asked.
"Leave!" Kim said, pointing to the door.
"No! I wanna hear this!" I said. Kim gave me a pouty face. "No don't give me that pouty face & the puppy dog eyes. You know I hate that." I turned to Kate. They were both making the face. "FINE! I'll be back in like 20 minutes." I kissed Kim's cheek & walked out of the dojo.
'Now, where should I go?' I thought.
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." She said quietly. My eyes widened & my mouth dropped open.
"Really? When did this happen?" I asked, excitedly, as we sat down on the benches.
"Well, ever since Eddie moved away...the two of us have been hanging out a lot more. Then we started dancing together at that old studio here at the mall that no one really uses. He showed me some moves & I showed him some. He encouraged me to audition for 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 just 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." Kate admitted. 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 as she stood up from the bench. 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?" He said bitterly. I stood there in shock. He was wobbling & his belt was undone, alone with his shirt buttons, showing his white t-shirt underneath. "WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID!" He yelled as he walked closer to me. "I MEAN DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DID!"
"What are you talking about?" I said softly.
"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT YOU DID?" He yelled as he took a step closer. He made me jump out of my skin & take a step back. "YOU RATTED ME OUT TO YOUR FRIENDS & THE COPS!" He yelled as he threw his arms up.
"It had no choice! You had to be stopped!" I yelled as I walked around him. He grabbed my arm & spun me to face him, restricting me from moving. I crashed into his chest & flinched.
"I thought you knew better. I thought you were smarter than your mother..." He said. He looked me up & down. I took a few steps back as he started breathing heavy. Something inside just snapped. "But I was WRONG!" He launched at me. He grabbed my shoulders & tried to get a good hold on me. I managed to push him off one shoulder.
"NO! YOUR HURTING ME!" I shouted trying to release from his grasp. I pushed him off & back away.
Then, it happened.
His hand collided with my face, really hard & I fell to the ground. I started breathing heavily & I looked up at him. His eyes were no longer hazel, they were black & filled with rage. I started crawling away & he followed. I grabbed the leg of the bench & held on for dear life. I turned to see that he stopped right in front of me. His nostrils were flaring & he was growling.
He grabbed my elbow with so much force, it caught me by surprise, causing me to release my grip on the bench & he pulled me up to his chest. I started fighting him. I was pushing away & he was pulling me closer. I started sobbing. "No...Please...No...STOP!" He finally stopped, but he threw me back.
I landed on the bench & I rolled right off, landing on the floor. I groaned in pain as I glanced at the door. The shades were pulled down & the closed sign was facing the people outside. He grabbed me & pulled me to him. I tried struggling so I could get away, but that failed. He pulled me up to his face & this time he didn't slap me...He punched me. He let go of me after his fist left my cheek & I started crawling away faster.
I couldn't feel any part of my face anymore. I felt his hands grab my waist & pull me back again. His forced turned me around & I was now facing him. He back-handed me & hit my lip. I felt it start to bleed as he threw me down on the mat, causing me to slam my head hard. I started to grow dizzy as my father came into my view. He was no where near finished.
He lifted his hand again & went to hit me. I covered my face, waiting for the blow. But his fist never met my cheek. I looked up & saw his fist in someones hand.
Jack's hand.
Jack pulled my dad up & pushed him away. He grabbed both my hands & pulled me in his arms. I ignored the dizziness as he cupped my face.
"You okay?" He asked me. I nodded my head, unable to answer & then we heard my dad groan. I spun around & Jack stood in front of me. I grabbed his arm to keep my balance & to hold him back.
"I think you should go." He said sternly.
"Stay out of this, boy. This doesn't concern you." My dad spat.
"It involves Kim & your in my dojo. So yes it does concern me." Jack answered. My dad's lips curved into a smile & he started laughing.
"How can anyone give a damn about that dumb slut?" My dad hissed. Jack's hands formed fist & I grabbed them.
"Jack, don't. He wants a fight." I said.
"What I want is my daughter to come home & tell the cops that she lied." He said. I moved in front of Jack. He grabbed my arm & I gave him a quick look.
"You lost the right time to call me your daughter you decided to make me your punching bag." I yelled.
"I never got why you were so upset when she died. It's not like she was worth anything. She was a tramp, like you!" He said.
"Shut up!" I yelled. My dad didn't like that. He moved closer & let out a laugh. Jack's grip tighten on my arm.
"Who said you had the right to yell at me? HUH?" He yelled. Jack lightly moved me out of the way as the door open.
Rudy came back.
"What's going on?" He asked. He pushed my dad away from us & stood between us.
"I showed up & found him hurting Kim." Jack answered as he pulled me back.
"Mr. Crawford, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Rudy said.
"I'm not leaving without my daughter." He answered.
"I'm not your daughter." I yelled.
"Your right, your not. I could care less about you. But I'm taking you to the station & you are going to tell them that you lied. Then, I'll deal with you at home." He said as he took a step closer, making me tense up.
"No you won't." Rudy answered. My dad went to throw a punch, but Rudy caught it & flipped him. Jack & I backed up & watched the fight unfold. Rudy & my dad fought for a few minutes. Then Rudy lost his focus for a second & My dad punched him. Rudy fell to the ground & tried to get back up, but my dad grabbed him by the collar of his shirt & threw him into the lockers. He fell to the ground & didn't move.
"Rudy!" We yelled. I went to run to him, but my dad stepped in front of me. I suddenly froze as Jack grabbed my hand & pulled me back to him.
"Who's next?" He asked. Jack moved me out of the way & sent a kick to my dad's chest.
"Jack! Don't!" I yelled. They kept fighting. The door opened & it was Kate.
"OH MY GOD!" She yelled.
"Kate! Go get the cops!" I yelled. She nodded & ran out.
I heard Jack groan & snapped my head back to the mats.
He was on the floor.
"You should've stayed out of it." My dad hissed as he pulled out his pocket knife & put it to his neck.
"STOP!" I yelled. "DON'T DO IT!" He lifted the knife & went to push it through his chest. Jack grabbed his wrist just in time & pushed him off. He stood up & kicked the knife to the other side of the room.
"Why are you fighting for someone as worthless as that?" He yelled as he pointed to me. Jack threw a punch at my dad. I felt my heart beating out of my chest.
"Why is someone as worthless as you still breathing?" Jack asked. Jack walked to me & hugged me. I threw my arms around his neck & stared down at my dad. He got up & I pulled away from Jack. Before I could do anything, he grabbed Jack & pushed him into the post. He gripped his neck & started strangling him. I grabbed my dad's arms & tried to pull him off.
"STOP! YOUR HURTING HIM!" I yelled. My dad slammed Jack's head into the wall & he was knocked out.
"JACK!" I yelled. I started shaking Jack, but he wouldn't wake up. "JACK! PLEASE WAKE UP!" My dad pulled me up & threw me across the floor. I rolled over on the mat & didn't move. When I tried to get up, my dad pinned me down & started hitting me.
I let the tears fall out as he smacked me repeatedly. Then he got up & grabbed the knife sitting a few feet away. . I buried my face into the mat, hoping he was done. He knelt down next to me. I felt his cold hands on my arm & it made me flinch.
"NO PLEASE! PLEASE STOP!" I begged. I pushed myself away. He knelt over me & put the knife to my neck.
"Next time, you'll listen to me." He put the knife in his pocket & punched me again. This time, I felt my left cheek bone crack & I screamed in pain. He smacked me on the other cheek for screaming & got up, running out of the dojo. I felt my hole body go numb & a sharp pain in my head. I couldn't move. Everything hurt.
I tried to push myself up, but the dizziness rushed to my head & I fell back down.
"If your gonna kill me, just do it.!" I yelled to god, in between my sobs.
I couldn't do this anymore. I've been dealing with his my hole life. I sat there crying. I didn't wanna live like this.
I tried getting up & fell again. "Don't make me suffer like this...please." I felt myself shutting down & I tried to force my eyes to stay open. I looked over at Rudy. He still hadn't moved & I didn't even know how badly hurt he was. I looked over at Jack & saw he was breathing, but not awake. "Jack...Jack, get up...please." I repeated. It was barely above a whisper. My eyes shut & wouldn't open. I felt the darkness take over my body & I shut down.

KATE'S POV: I led the cops back to the dojo. Jerry & Milton were following behind us. When we got to the courtyard, we saw Mr. Crawford running out of the dojo. "THAT'S HIM!" I yelled. The cops ran after them & we ran into the dojo. We froze when we saw all our friends unconscious.
"Rudy?" Jerry yelled. He ran to Rudy & tried to help him up. Milton ran to Kim & I ran to Jack.
"Jack! Jack get up!" I yelled. I started shaking him. "Jack!" I kept yelling. He stirred slightly & I knew he'd be up in a minute or two.
"Jerry?" I asked. Jerry looked up & nodded his head.
"He's good." He stood up & pulled Rudy up with him.
"Are you guys all okay?" Rudy asked. Jerry & I nodded our heads. Milton didn't speak. We looked over at him & saw he was holding Kim, who wasn't moving. Rudy & Jerry ran to Kim.
"Is she breathing?" Jerry asked. My heart stopped. I stood up & looked at them.
"Yeah, but she's not moving." Milton said. "She won't get up." I walked over & saw Kim covered in more bruises.
"Oh my god!" I said. I put a hand over my mouth to keep myself from sobbing.
"Jerry, go get help." Rudy ordered. Jerry nodded & ran out of the dojo. "I'm gonna get the first aid kit." Rudy said as he ran into his office & slammed the door. I was breathing so heavily, I couldn't hear myself think.
"Kim, please wake up. Please be okay!" Milton said. I calmed down when I heard a my name being called from behind me. Milton & I turned our heads & saw Jack slowly sitting up.
