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

From the author: I am not trying to make Tommy into the bad guy. The last chapter was meant to be intense but it serves as an important thing for them. This is meant to be from the perspective from almost adult teens.

Chapter 6

Jason was walking down by the lake when he spotted Kat. Noting that she looked somehow different he went over to her to find out if anything was wrong. "Hey Kat are you okay" Jason asked as he sat down on the grass next to her.

Kat looked over at Jason and replied "strangely enough I am. I really, really am." She had such a calm peace about her that Jason didn't doubt her for a single minute.

"What are you up to on this fine day" he asked shyly.

Before she could answer a little girl stumbled over a small stone in front of them. Once she fell she started crying. Not really knowing what to do Jason walked over to the small child and said "Hey there pretty girl. Are you okay?" he asked as he picked her up. The small child nodded and threw her arms around Jason's neck. Jason gently rubbed her back until she stopped crying. As she calmed the girl's mother came. "Oh thank goodness you found her" said her mom. "She was chasing frogs and ran away too quickly for me to catch up. I thank you so much."

Jason blushed as he nodded his your welcomes. After they left Jason sat back down next to Kat. Kat was deeply touched at Jason's caring heart that as soon as he opened his mouth to ask her a question she leaned in and gently kissed him. Jason responded right away and kissed her back. However after a few minutes he realized what he was doing and pulled away.

"We broke up Jason" Kat said "before you start feeling guilty I just wanted you to know that."

Relief was written all over Jason's face and he started kissing her again. After a few minutes his cell phone rang. Looking at the caller id he saw Tommy's name. "I'm sorry Kat but I need to take this."

She nodded her understanding and with her own wisdom said "I'm here Jason. Take all the time you need."

"Could this girl be any more amazing?" Jason thought. Instead of asking out loud he answered Tommy's call. Not a lot was said from Jason but the more he listened the more worried he looked. "Okay I will pick up Billy and we will head right over. Don't worry bro. We will get this all figured out soon."

Meanwhile back at Kimberly's:

Tommy was at his wits end. He had no clue what was wrong all he knew is if he somehow messed things up he would never forgive himself. He honestly thought last night was a turning point for them. All of the sudden he heard the water go off. He seemed to hold onto the hope that Kimberly would talk to him now that she was calmed down. Slowly Tommy walked over to the bathroom door and lightly scratched on it. "Kimberly it is me, Tommy. I would love to talk to you as I know something is wrong and I wish you would open the door so we can talk about it. Please Kim, please talk to me. I promise I will keep my hands to myself if that is what you are worried about." All of the sudden he can hear the lock unclick and the door opens.

Kimberly looked at Tommy not knowing what to say. So what she started with was "you took advantage of me last night."

Confused Tommy said "okay perhaps I should not have climbed into your bedroom window but I promise when I came in I had the most honorable of intentions. You just looked so peaceful I could not help but lay down next to you."

"What about the rest of it? I was asleep when you took off my clothes and made love to me."

"Wait that is not what happened at all. Perhaps you started out asleep but no one who moaned like you did, moved like you did, kissed like you did, and called out my name like you did could have been in that deep of a sleep. You knew what was happening I would stake my power coin on it."

"No, no I was asleep" she denied.

"Kimberly I see what is going on here. As much as I hate to say it you need to stop playing the victim. You called out my name so you knew it was me there. The only person who could ever accurately accuse me of taking advantage of them is Kat. I took advantage of her when I slept with her so soon after our breakup. She didn't complain though as she knew that at any point she could have said no and I would have stopped. You had that option too. I would never force myself on you or anyone else. I'm not that type of person. "

Kimberly didn't want him to acknowledge this truth. Part of her admitted to herself that he was right. In a dream or real life no meant no to him and no matter what he would stop if she asked. She let what happened happen. Yes she started out asleep but she did know enough to know that it could not have been a dream as it was happening. She didn't care. Plus no matter what you cannot stay sleep while the one you love is making love to you.. At least not completely.

"Everyone has been racking their brain trying to figure out how to make things up to you including myself. But you need to start admitting and accepting your responsibility in this as well. I love you" Tommy added. Just at that moment a spark of inspiration struck him. As he stood in front of Kimberly he said "I want to show you something okay?" After she nodded he quietly asked "May I kiss you?" Again she nodded. Tommy lowered his head and once his lips found hers he gave her the softest, most sweetest passion filled kiss he could. After a minute or two he lifted his head and rested his forehead against hers before saying "I would never risk a possible lifetime of those for just one night of making loveto you. The simple truth is I want it all with you. Now what you need to do is figure out what you want and let me know what you decide."

It was that moment that Jason and Billy entered the room. At seeing Kimberly and Tommy so close together they figured that they were working things out so they quietly left hoping for the best.
