THE DAY JUST WENT FROM BAD TO WROSE

I don't own anything but I sure do wish I did sometimes. All the disclaimers apply though

Chapter 4

Kat could not believe what she was seeing. Her boyfriend was was trying desperately to get close to Kimberly again, wanting to hold her. She knew that if he had half the chance Tommy would try to kiss and make up with the other woman. She was not a vicious person by far but she could not help but be glad that Jason and Adam stood in Tommy's path to Kimberly. After Kimberly smacked Tommy Kat was both glad and mad about it. She didn't want Tommy to keep getting hurt but she knew so long as Kimberly kept this attitude Tommy would stay with Kat. Everyone seemed unable to do anything except for Jason and Adam. Once Adam held Kimberly back everyone started racking their brains trying to think of a way to defuse the situation and bring peace so they could discuss this calmly.

"Wanna know what that was for? I'll tell you" Kim yelled. "Shortly after everyone cut me out of their lives I got a package from a unknown person. Inside the package was a dvd video of your date with Kat. I got to watch your dinner, your dance together, and got to see first hand the way you looked at her as you held her close to you. It was then that I actually decided to stop trying to fight for you as you looked happy and I didn't want to be the one who took that away from you. I loved you enough to take my heart out of the picture and I loved you enough to let you go. Now I am here and you are trying to love me up again with your girlfriend standing less than 7 feet from you! Do you honestly think I want to be with someone like that?" she kept yelling. "I may not be friends with any of you now but atleast I can continue to be the person I always wanted to be by walking away and not be a part of you being a jerk to your current girlfriend. I don't really care about her feelings I care about my intergity."

Tommy didn't know what to say and after Kimberly spoke her words everyone turned and looked at her.. some with a new found respect for the young woman because it could not be easy for her to keep denying her heart expecially for someone who less than five minutes ago was rubbing their relationship in her face. Tommy looked around quick and noticed that no one was paying him any attention anymore. He found his opening and went for it.

Kim turned around to leave once again and made it three steps before she felt the familiar arms around her once again. Tommy once again laid his head on her back and whispered "Kim don't let it end like this. I get what you are saying but this changes everything. Can you feel my heart beating against you? Every beat my heart makes is for you, every breath I take is for you, every thought I have is about you. I love you. I love your heart, your kindness, you shopping habbits, for all those reasons and more I love you. "

Jason groned and tried once again to pull Tommy off of Kim. He could painly see that all this was hurting Kim far more than she was letting on. She needed time away from all of them to think and to make whatever decision she needed to and by god as her brother he was going to give her atleast that.

"Tommy" Jason said as he pulled him off of Kim "don't do this right now. Kim's right. Right now you have Kat and you need to give her better than trying to hook back up with Kim right in front of her. Both of you need to take a breather and come to whatever decisions you need to about each other. Kim can't do that with you acting like this. She needs time to process what she just found out and as her friends we all need to figure out how to make this whole mess up to her. Try and put yourself in her place man."

Kim turned around and faced the group once again. She listened to Jasons words but this time with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Maybe Jason does get it" she thought. "Maybe now Tommy and the others will too. I can't just forget the last six months."

Tommy thought about what Jason just said. He looked at Kim and said "Kim I understand that none of this was your fault but you have the power to make it right. Give us another chance. You need to. You have to. I understand how you feel about all of this."

"No you don't Tommy" Kimberly stated in a flat voice. "You don't understand at all. And you trying to make me make a decision right now just proves that. You don't know how it feels to have the people who fought beside you, people who on occasion saved your life, decide all of the sudden that you are no longer worth talking to. You don't know what it is like to have the one person who you trusted and loved the most in the world turn their back so suddenly, so coldly, and to have that person have sex with another. You don't know how it feels to have no one you were close to be there so you could cry on their shoulder. To be thousands of miles away and know what it is truly like to be all alone. You don't know what it is like to wonder if you just simply weren't good enough. I spent the last few months wondering what was wrong with me that made you all decide to do what you did. What even hurts more than that is before all of this came out you are were not the least bit affected by not talking to me. You were gald to be rid of me. Now that I am standing here you all want to change that? No way. Not right now. So my answer you are looking for right now is no."

"No?" Tommy whispered

"That is what I said" stated Kimberly. She went on to say "This situation may have started as no one's fault but you made your choices and I have made mine. For now I am at peace with that. Right now we are dealing with the consequences of those decisions and just so you know there is somethings that love cannot over come. "

"But this is not one of those things" Tommy said in a panic. "Our love is stronger than this situation."

"Tommy at the moment I simply do not want to know you" she said before she turned around and left.

Tommy stood dumfounded by her words and the only thing he could mutter to her retreating form was "this day just went from bad to worse."
