A/N: Get ready for this chapter; it's going to be really Kack!

I feel like being sweet today with this chapter.

"Jack wait! Don't leave yet…"

Jack's P.O.V.

I turned on my heel with my hand still holding on to the door knob.

"What is it?" I asked, wondering what else it could possibly be.

"Stay for a moment longer." She was practically begging. The air in the

room felt so thick as I looked at her, it was awkward but it was sad.

Knowing that I won't see her for the rest of the summer made me want to

leave faster so the feelings won't come crashing down on me. But of course

looking at her like this, I couldn't say no. But I had to at least force myself,

without looking at her. If I did, I wouldn't be able to refuse her.

"Kim, I have to go. I have to go see my mom, pack, and I still didn't say

goodbye to the guys or to see if they're even okay." I said looking at her

carpeted floor. I yearned to hear, to see with my ears if she made any

movements, but she seemed to stay still. She exhaled, that's all she did.

"Jack look at me." She said begging again. I couldn't be rude, so I did. But I

crashed like I knew I would.

"Please Jack?" she pleaded as I looked into her eyes. They were full of pain

and loss even though I haven't left yet. This made me think about how they

will look when I'm actually gone.

I looked to the floor and let go of the doorknob that seemed to keep me here.

I looked back to her and nodded before I began to walk to her. When I sat

next to her but was far enough that I was able to look away. I gave half a

smile and shrugged my shoulders. She shrugged her shoulders also, neither

of us knowing what to do with this odd quiet moment. The thick air had

followed me from the door to where I know vacated; it hung down on us

threatening to choke me if she didn't speak up soon.

"Is there some way you can sneak me along with you?" she asked focusing

on her hands.

"Maybe if I stuff you in my suitcase." I said with a light laugh to it, trying

my best to lighten up the mood. But seeing it didn't work, I got frustrated.

"Kim stop being sad. At least save for when I'm gone, but while I'm still

here with you, don't be. Be happy. When I leave, I don't want this to be the

last image of you that I see. I want to be the last memory of you to be

happy." I said poking her cheek trying to encourage and release a smile.

"Jack, stop it." she said finally laughing while trying to suppress my hand

from poking her.

"Smile for me then Kimberly." I said sincerely. She looked at me at my new

sound of voice, but she did smile.

She smiled for me.

I let myself smile at the thought.

"Thanks." She nodded to say 'you're welcome'

"So tell me one of your wishes." The request was so random it made me

laugh.

"One of my wishes?" Kim nodded.

"I want to make it come true before you leave." She smiled again, keeping it

there just for me. I thought earnestly.

The one wish that I want Kim, my best friend, to grant for me before I

leave to never see her again for a whole summer.

One wish I beg for her to make come true, to grant forever.

"My one wish is for you to never find another guy best friend while I'm

gone. I want to be your number one." I said looking at her. Her smile faded,

but I realized it wasn't because of what I said; it's because of what it meant

to our friendship.

Maybe we're finally seeing how much our friendship is worth.

This thought scared me. If our friendship meant this much to me, it will be

even harder to avoid missing her. But soon her smile was back, almost as

soon as the thought had entered my head. She nodded.

"You can trust me. I'll make it my duty to make it come true." She held up

her pinky finger to me laughing. I took it into mine gladly while laughing

right along with her. After we pinky-promised each other she plopped back

down on her back and followed after her, falling to her side. After our fit of

giggles resided I turned to her.

"Tell me one of your wishes now. I'll make it come true." Kim turned to me,

and to my surprise to touch my hair softly, parted it a bit from my eyes, then

took a deep breath in after she removed her hand.

"The same as yours." I nodded, having a feeling.

"I think it's going to be a little easier for me to grant that wish." She

laughed; her laugh was golden like her hair, which I now wanted to touch.

She did touch mine after all.

I reached over and took a strand and twirled it around my finger. Her eyes

flicked over to my finger then back at me. She smiled again, but directly at

me this time, I smiled to, but my eyes didn't once leave her hair. From the

strand that I touched, a portion of her hair fell into her face, I moved my

hand to her face and cleared it from her face with one quick swipe. She

closed her eyes as I did so, and when I was done she opened her eyes again.

"Jack?"

"Mhm?" I answered, still being mesmerized by the touch of her hair to my

fingers.

"I have one more wish." I let my eyes trace from her head to her eyes.

"What is it?"

"I want to remember you in a different way." She said slowly.

"How so?" She shrugged her shoulders.

"Surprise me." She said. I nodded.

"K. Close your eyes then." She obeyed quickly. I thought about what she

meant or what she possibly could mean.

She wants to remember me in a different way. That means I have to give

her something that I never gave her before, do something that was never

done before.

An idea popped into my head and I stared at her face. I didn't know how she

would react to it. But it was my last day, so I wanted to push the boundaries.

I ran my hand through her hair until my head was safety tucked away into

the crook of her neck. Her eyebrows rose, wondering about what I was

doing, but her eyes stayed closed, meaning she trusted me. I smiled at this

action. I inched closer to her and experimented with my idea.

I pressed my lips against hers softly, my hand at the back of her neck

tightened, pulling her closer. I felt it in her lips the she was surprised but she

didn't pull back and she didn't stop but only started to kiss me back. Words

right now in my brain weren't able to comprehend on my action because it

was so wonderful. Her lips were soft and the warmth reminded me of

outside, summer. I took my hand out of her hair as soon as I was sure she

wouldn't pull away and I skidded it down to take hold of her hand, I

searched for her pinky finger and when I found it, I took it into my own

pinky and shook it, to show her that I will always grant this wish anytime

she wanted me to, she now smiled into our kiss, knowing what it now meant.

She took her free hand and ran it through my hair, she pulled back and it

scared me.

But soon she was back again on my lips. I pulled her by the waist, wanting

no space between us.

Through the whole day events, I knew this was the happiest. I didn't want to

relive this moment; I wanted to stay in it for the rest of my life. After all

that's happened today, I'm glad it did because this moment would have

never existed in my time line if today never happened. I learned to be

thankful for each day, because Kim, my Kimberly, now knows how to make

it worth waking up again tomorrow.
