Hey guys! I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while. I kind of had writer's block. So if this chapter doesn't seem original, it's because I didn't really have a clue how to write it. But the next chapter will be very cute, being mainly focused on Jack and Kim. But for now, this is the best I could come up with. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It!

P.S. Looking back on the last chapter, I could see I made a lot of grammatical errors, so I'll try harder to proofread this one. Thanks!

KIM

The following week after Jerry made his big move, Sarah started hanging out with the group more. She was always with Jerry, who made sure that he looked cool, and she was usually cheerful and easygoing with him.

Kim wasn't fooled.

She noticed Sarah ogling Jack like he was covered in chocolate. It took an idiot not to see that, and that would explain why Jerry never cared. His eyes were glued to Sarah, and he followed her around like he was her puppy. Kim suspected that the only reason Sarah put up with him was because he was her connection to Jack. And Jack continued to be uncomfortable around her, endlessly complaining to Kim "what obvious and crazy thing Sarah did today." Kim didn't mind, because although she would never admit it, she was threatened by Sarah, and she was glad to see that her boyfriend wasn't falling into her traps.

But the last straw was drawn for Jack when Sarah sent him an email admitting her feelings for him, as if they weren't obvious enough. He was fuming when he showed it to Kim on his phone one morning.

"I am going to go right up to her and tell that I don't care about her at all!" he shouted, pacing back and forth in front of their homework spot.

It worried Kim to see him like this, so she put a soothing hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, baby. I'll take care of this." Her eyes set in determination, and she was about to stalk off to find Sarah when Jack grabbed her arm.

Now he was the worried one. "What are you going to do?"

She put on a fake serene smile. "I'm just going to have a little chat with her. She needs to know that you're mine, and to back off." And with that, she turned away and marched down the hallway.

JACK

He stared after Kim with a bewildered look on his face. She looked so sexy when she was angry.

Half an hour later she met back up with him, a huge grin on her face. She sat down next to him and they automatically began snuggling.

"So what did you do?" he asked her.

"I told you, I took care of it." At his questioning look, she added, "I just told her to back off, and when she didn't get the message I gave her a small tap on the shoulder."

Jack laughed. "It wasn't just a tap, was it?"

She shrugged, trying not to smile. "Sometimes I don't know my own strength."

The next day at the dojo, Jack was kicking dummies at Bobby Wasabi's. Rudy was away at some "karate conference" so he and Kim were going to practice on their own. She was supposed to meet him here so they could practice sparring. He had been practicing by himself for twenty minutes.

Was she blowing me off? he thought. Kim had to have a good reason. He looked at his watch. It read 4:30. She should've been done with cheer by now. He was starting to get seriously worried.

Suddenly, Milton and Eddie burst through the doors of the dojo.

"Jack!" Eddie yelled. "You have to come to the hospital!"

Before he could ask why, Milton cried, "Kim's been hurt!"

Jack's eyes widened and he went numb, and all he could think about was his concern for Kim. Milton and Eddie shared an uneasy glance, and they dragged Jack to the waiting minivan that Jerry was driving. On the way to the hospital, Milton explained that she was on the very top of the pyramid during cheer practice, but they ended up falling. Kim, who took the hardest of the fall, broke her leg and had a minor concussion.

"Is he going to be okay?" Eddie asked worriedly. "He hasn't said anything yet."

"Jack, you can relax a little," said Jerry while he sped through a green light. "She's not unconscious or anything. We would've gotten to you sooner but we got stopped by, like, two trains."

"The doctor said she's going to be fine," contributed Milton, putting a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder. But Jack continued to stare unseeingly straight ahead, refusing to relax until he saw that Kim was okay.

KIM

"And we just wanted to say that we're sorry the pyramid got messed up," said Grace, with her whole cheer team nodding solemnly behind her, "and that you, like, got hurt."

Kim half-smiled at her team, trying to feel upbeat from her spot in the hospital bed. "It's okay, everyone. For now, it looks like you're the head cheerleader, Grace." However, she just was still a little freaked out by all the pain and the rushing to the hospital in the ambulance. The only person that would make her calm down was –

"Jack!" she cried when she saw her boyfriend run through the door. He stopped short when he saw the cheerleaders crowded around Kim's bed. "Guys, could you give us a minute?"

"We should be going anyway," said Grace. "Hope you feel better, Kim!" The cheer team echoed her as they filed out of the hospital room. Kim thanked them for coming, then sighed with relief as Jack took a seat next to her bed and held her hand.

"You're okay," he stated, and she saw his face lose some of its worry lines.

She smirked down at her cast. "Well, as okay as I can be after what happened."

After making sure she was comfortable and wasn't in any pain – which she found sweet – he asked, "How come J.E.M. knew about what happened before I did?"

"They were actually here at the hospital when I got here. Apparently Milton thought he swallowed poison?" Kim still found that part strange, but it was probably normal for Milton, who was the worst cook she'd ever seen. "Oh, and there was something else I noticed before the pyramid went down. Sarah. She was standing a ways away from us, holding what I think was oil, since that's what the bottom row of girls said they felt on their hands."

She glanced worriedly at Jack, who was known to lose his temper, but thankfully he was keeping his cool for her. "Then that means she did this to you?" A slight tremor was evident in his voice, but his face was kept calm.

"I believe so." She bit her lip. Jack now looked furious, but when she squeezed his hand he took a deep breath and let it go. They continued talking, and the more time she spent with Jack, the better Kim felt.

JACK

Kim's mom came in a while later, and Jack decided to get something to eat. It looked like he'd be spending a lot of time here, so he might as well get some food in his stomach. On the way to the cafeteria, though, he saw Sarah sitting with Jerry on a bench. He made a beeline for them.

"Hi, Jack!" Sarah greeted him excitedly. Jerry, confused as always, knit his eyebrows. So it seemed he was starting to get the message about Sarah having feelings for Jack. And Jack was going to clarify the message.

"Sarah," he said, his tone going dark. She immediately stopped smiling. "I know it was you that hurt Kim. And I know you like me." He ignored Jerry's heartbroken stare. "And I'm asking you – no, I'm demanding you – to stop. I don't like you in that way. I am in love with Kim."

"She doesn't deserve you!" she cried, her voice rising and her eyes welled up with tears. "Don't you see? You and I are… perfect for each other!"

Man, this girl liked drama! "Okay, that's what you think. But so far, all you've done is hurt not just Kim, but Jerry, too. And that hurts me. So it doesn't seem so perfect from my point of view. And if you know what's good for you, you'll leave me and my friends alone."

He turned around and stalked away, leaving her and Jerry to their emotional problems.

Weird place to end, I know, but I thought it was getting a little too long. So I think there's just going to be one more chapter. Hopefully it'll be up soon so I can finally complete another story! I'm sad this one's ending, but there may be more! Check back every week for the last chapter!
