A/N IMPORATNT INFO:
This story is both one-shots and multi-chapter. The first few
chapters are going to be one-shots to show how Jack and Kim
get closer and how strong their friendship is, then later on it'll
really start to connect when Arthur comes in, which is
probably like the 5th chapter maybe. But the one-shots are still
kind of connected in a way. Don't worry, this story will have it
All. Drama. Suspense. Action. Hurt/comfort. Humor. The test
of their friendship. And when here's a secret. Jack DOES get
his memory back, but Kim and Jack go through a lot before he
does.
Jack's P.O.V.
"What does that one look like?" Kim asked me as she pointed to the sky.
School had ended today, and Kim and I spent the first day of summer lying
in the grass, under a tree, and identifying the shapes of clouds that floated
by.
I squinted my eyes to get a better perspective.
"It looks like a rabbit to me." A smile broke out on her face as she turned to
face me.
"Jack it's clearly in the shape of a kite." I shook my head.
"Nope it's a bunny."
"Kite."
"Bunny."
"Kite."
"Bunny."
"Jack-"
"Kim."
Her face hardened as she propped herself up on her elbows. I could only
smile. I knew it was a kite, but annoying Kim was too fun.
"Why do you always doubt me?" I tried to speak but all I could do is laugh.
"See? Now your laughing." She said as she got serious. I placed my hand on
her arm gently.
"Kim, I was just playing around. Just chill, okay?" I keep forgetting how
easily Kim gets angry. I saw that I was on thin ice, so I thought it would be
best to change the subject. I cleared my throat and began to speak.
"So, uh Kim can I ask you a question?" she nodded her head, causing her
golden blonde hair to fall to her face.
"Why do you consider me as your best friend?" she snorted.
"Why do you ask?" I shrugged my shoulders as I leaned up against the tree.
"Don't I have the right to ask my best friend why I'm her best friend?" my
words came out jumbled as I got nervous, she looked confused.
"Huh?" I shook my head.
"Forget it. You don't have to answer."
"No. I want to." she said as she also leaned up against the tree. I noticed that
even though we were completely covered in shade, her hair still found a way
to shine in the sun. I smiled and couldn't help but stare.
Focus Jack. I told myself as Kim started to talk.
"Well I consider you my best friend because even I just met you this year, I
feel really close to you," she gave a short laugh and continued, but not
looking me in the eye.
"It's weird because none of my girl-friends understands me as much as you
do. I just feel so comfortable around you," butterflies began to brew in my
stomach as she smiled.
"But every day I'm always afraid that I'm going to lose you as my best
friend." Her smile faded as she finished.
"But you're not going to lose me. I've been moving around since I was 7 but
my mom promised that this would be the last time that we moved. I mean I
should believe since it's been a whole school year since I moved, that's a
first for me, but I still worried because-." I noticed I was rambling on and
stopped immediately. She laughed as my cheeks grew red from
embarrassment.
"Jack, that's not the reason why I'm afraid to lose you." I sighed in relief.
"Then what is it?"
"It's just all those girls at school." She looked at me expecting an answer. I
wasn't catching on.
"What about them?"
"They're just always around you and sometimes when I see you hanging out
with them I think you'll go for of them and leave me behind. Trust me, I'm
not the jealous type, but you just mean a lot to me as a friend."
"as a friend" seemed to be the only thing I heard. I cringed at the words.
But I knew this was more important.
"Kim you know that's never going to happen. Yeah sure, I talk and hang it
with them, but that doesn't mean you come last. You're always first in my
book. No one will ever replace you. Never forget that." I reassured her at my
best ability and she smiled at my response, making everything worth it. Her
face changed as she began to think again.
"So did you have other best-girl friends like me back home in New York?"
I shook my head.
"No. Not really, just guy friends." And a few girlfriends, but she didn't need
to know that.
She smiled a full smile and hugged me tight. I didn't hesitate a second to
return it.
"Jack you're the best!"
"Yeah and don't you forget it." we laughed in unison as we leaned back to
look at the sky once more.
"Look there's beach ball."
"It's a heart."
"No it's clearly a-"
"Jack." She had all the warning signals in her tone of voice.
"Alright alright. Heart it is."
A/N I liked this chapter :), but any way's tell me what you
think. Good? Bad? Like it? Loved it? REVIEW!
I got this idea from a conversation I had with my best friend a
while back. And besides, I've always wanted a guy-best friend
:(
