Chapter 13 - Day 3: Forgive Me...

*Kim*

"How could you do that!? Why would you do that!?" I already knew the answer, I just needed to here him say it. "You were kissing Brody! My best friend! Behind my back!" I nodded angrily "Yeah and you went on a date with Lindsey! Behind my back!" He nodded angrily. Is he mocking me?

"I can't believe you believed Lindsey over me! We weren't on a date!" I can't believe him! "Really? Then what were you doing? Meeting in secret as friendly neighbors?" I said sarcastically "You wanna know what we were doing? Fine! I was asking her the things you enjoyed! You two used to be best friends!" I rolled my eyes.

"She would never tell you! She hates me now!" He threw his hands up angrily "We made a deal! I told her everything to get Brody to like her!" I suddenly felt really guilty "Oh and you'll love to here this! Right after you left, I told her off because your my girlfriend!" A tear streamed down my face.

"Oh wait, correction, you were my girlfriend! You know what? I'm outta here!" He walked away leaving crying like I never had before. I turned around and looked at the guys in the dojo. Milton was okay now and Eddie was the only one who saw me crying.

I didn't feel like saying "Goodbye" or "I'm leaving. See you later!" I just ran home. Because that's all I could do with what had just happened. I couldn't believe myself. I was ready to just break down and cry even more that I already was. After my mental breakdown, I began to think and do what I had to do.

Now I felt so stupid. I completely misunderstood the situation and now because of me Milton has a black eye! I mean I guess it was really Jacks fault.. But I trusted Lindsey over him! How could I do that? Believe my absolute worst enemy over my own boyfriend?

What am I going to tell Brody? "Oh hey! I never really liked you I just used you I get back at Jack.." Oh yeah.. Great break-up.. I highly doubt Jack will forgive me though.. But I couldn't stay with Brody either. Just as things were looking great for the Wasabi Warriors, everything started to go down hill, and really fast too. Oooh! That's good! I should put that in my part of the assignment! FOCUS KIM!

Right. All that matters right now is that I have to break-up with Brody. So I grabbed my keys, headed outside and prepared for the worst. As soon as I got there, I had this terrible feeling, like something was going to go terribly wrong. I walked up to Brody, praying that Jack wasn't here.

"Hey Brody, can we talk?" He nodded "Are you going to tell me that you only dated me because you saw Lindsey and Jack on a "date"?" I was surprised "Uh.. Yeah.." He smiled "I knew all along. It's okay Kim, I forgive you". Talk about easy.. And I thought it would be the end of the world! Ah.. Silly me..

Then, I finally got why I has such a terrible feeling in my gut.. Jack was walking over to us. He was mad, really mad. Like a bomb waiting to go off at any moment.. And just when things were going well... "Jack, no! It's not what it looks like!" He turned to me.

"Really? You two just meeting up in secret again?" He walked closer to Brody "Jack no!" I stepped in front of him "Kim get out of the way!" I stood my ground "Jack I won't let you hurt him!" That really didn't help things.. He walked even closer but Brody pushed him back really hard.

Jack charged and I stepped in front of him "Kim get out of the way!" He screamed louder and pushed me down to the ground. He stopped in his tracks as my lay on top of the ground. I wasn't hurt or scared, just shocked that he would do such a thing.

"Jack.." I said slowly "I think you should go.." But of course, he was stubborn at the times when I wasn't in the mood "Kim I'm–" luckily, I wasn't in the mood. "I said go!" With that he left. Brody tried to help me up but I just shook him off and walked home.

I couldn't even think straight and I honestly don't even think I knew what was going on. I walked around not thinking at all. I was afraid that if I bumped into somebody I would break. Five minutes later, I found out I was right. I ran right into Eddie. When I looked at his face, I started crying like there was no tomorrow.

"Kim? Are you okay?" I shook my head, because it was impossible for me to say something while crying like this. At that exact moment, when he saw me, he hugged me. Which was exactly what I needed, a friend who was there for me.

"What happened Kim?" he asked me after a while. I gave a shaky laugh "It's a really long story.." He smiled brightly at me.

"I've got time," he said shrugging "how about you come over to my house for dinner and we can talk..? I'll just text my mom if you want to, I'm sure she'd love to meet you, she's never met any of my friends in a while — "

"Eddie, of course. I'd love to come." I said to keep him from non-stop talking, he laughed.
"C'mon.." he said taking my hand "You'll be the first my mom meets, she'll be so happy.." we started talking about all the normal stuff while we walked there, and honestly, it was the best I felt in ages.

"Oh, Kim, is it? Eddie hasn't had friends over in ages! I do hope you like pasta.." said Mrs. Johnson shortly after we entered, but I quickly answered telling her the usual compliments "Oh it's so nice to meet you! And of course, I love pasta!" She smiled brightly and hurried back into the kitchen.

"I'm ready for your life story, Kim, why don't you follow me upstairs so we can start?" He said keeping a straight face, I went with his humor, determined to make him crack. "Your ready to start with the biography them? Well where should we start? When I was born, when my parents met? Oh I know! It really started about a zillion years when Grandpa Crawford met Grandma Crawford.." His mouth twitched until he finally laughed.

"Come on Kim, lets go up stairs to my room.." I raised my eyebrows but followed him up, his room was the coolest room I had ever seen.. There were posters everywhere of Eminem, Fun., ADELE, Taio Cruz, Journey, Green Day, and so many more. There was this amazing collection of CDs, everything to do with music is here..

"Oh. My. Gosh. Eddie, this room, your room; is amazing, I could live here!" He smiled and pulled out some CDs and played them. We sat on his bed and started talking.

"So while I'm here, about this "project" of ours I think I want to — " he cut me off before I could say what I wanted to say. Quit, I thought. "That reminds me! I think we should make like a regular hang out with each other and start writing our presentations together. Maybe at one of our houses or maybe one day my place and another day Jerry's — "

"I don't think you want to meet Jerry's parents. Jack and I ran into his dad, he was drunk and, well, violent. He was terrifying, I haven't met his mom, but I'm scared to. Maybe we should keep our "hangs" here, my house, Milton's, and maybe Jack's. I'd say Rudy's but I mean, walking into a teachers house? No offense to Rudy, but.. Ew.. I'd be the same with any teacher. Like, what if we walked into Mr. Browns house? Ewer" — Eddie gave a sick expression — "I bet he's a creep. He kind of scares me."

"Oh and don't even get me started on Miss Burns..." Our conversation switched frequently, eventually we got back to the other guys and them to Jack. I had to tell him what happened, and fight back the tears at times. Kim Crawford doesn't cry.. I'd remind myself. Then when I finished, all he could say was: "Wow.. That sounds terrible" He said thoughtfully. I laughed "Gee, thanks!" I threw a pillow a him.

"How could I miss out on this? I've spent time pushing it away when I should've been embracing it.. As much as I want to say its Jacks fault, it's not.." Eddie gave a confused face, which made me confused until he asked: "Missed out on what?"

"Great, real friends. Like you." I gave a weak smile "Was I really mean to you?" I asked dying to know the answer. He hesitated, but answered.

"Honesty yes, but you never really talked to me. You just ignored me and rolled your eyes when you walked by. Jack was way worse, because of him my new name is Loser" I sighed.

"I know, but the sad thing is, I still called you that name, I never knew it until you called up on the stage. You were Loser, Milton was Mr. Emotional, and Jerry was King of the Creeps.. You all still are when my other friends" — I used quotation marks around friends — "are around and I just don't know what to say.."

"Why do you hang out with them if you aren't their real friend?" Eddie asked curiously, I shrugged. "I dunno.." Which was the truth, I really should just drop them.. But I didn't have a lot of time to think: Shortly after Eddie's mom called us for dinner. "Where's dad?" Eddie asked when we got down there "I wanted him to meet Kim!" He added smiling widely.

"I'm sorry Eddie, dear, but your father has to work extra hours to make some extra money. So it might just be me and you for a while" Eddie's mother said sadly. His smile quickly turned into a frown so I quickly changed the subject. "This pasta looks amazing Mrs. Johnson! I wish I could cook.." I sighed.

"Come over some time, I'll show you! And, please, call me Melissa" she said happily.
"Really? That'd be great Mrs — I mean Melissa" the rest of the meal was mainly on the topic of food. Until I had to go "Thanks so much for dinner Mrs. — Melissa, it was absolutely wonderful! I hope to come back soon" we said our goodbyes and I left. My phone beeped.

Jack: Kim I need to talk to you, it's important. Sent: 6:21

I rolled my eyes and deleted the message, then all of our messages, then his contact. I tried to walk home, but it's a little hard to ignore your phone going beep, beep every five. Stinking. Seconds. I finally sighed and began to read them.

837-2189: Kim meet me at Phil's. Sent: 6:29

837-2189: Kim! Please! Come! Now! Sent: 6:37

837-2189: I can explain everything! Just come! Sent: 6:40

837-2189: It will only take a minute! Sent: 6:41

837-2189: Kim, please.. I'm SO sorry! Sent: 6:49

837-2189: Kim, please, I love you.. Sent: 6:53

I sighed, and thought about calling him. It took me a minute or two, but I dialed the number. The other line was ringing, now I was kind of hoping he wouldn't answer, but sure enough a distant "Hello?" came. I opened my mouth to speak but the words just wouldn't come out, so I sat on the sidewalk and just sat there quietly. Both of us on each end, having no words to say. I thought about where he was. Is he still waiting for me, hoping I'll come? Or has already given up?

My thoughts were interrupted by Jacks quiet voice from the other line though. "Just give me a chance, Kim.. I'm still waiting," he said "I'll sleep hear if I have to". Part of me wanted to run there and hug him and tell him I loved him too, but the other part of me thought of everything he did. After a long time, or maybe it was only a minute, I answered him.

"Jack, you had your chance, when you first met me and not to long ago. But you decided you didn't want me, so why don't you just go home.." I hung up with tears coming down my cheeks. Saying no to him was the hardest thing that I'd ever done. I started thinking about all the fun memories we had together when the guys weren't around and how it was when we first met each other.

"Come on Kim! You can run faster than that!" Jack said running. I ran after him faster and faster until I finally caught him. In front of someone's house, I landed on top of him. I giggled and leaned in, and just as I was about to kiss him, a door flung open. A Latino boy and his family walked out. They all looked so happy, I wanted that to be my family.
"Maybe we should come back later, I think we're interrupting something.." said the boy gesturing to us. My cheeks burned and I could see Jack's had too. The man looked like he was about to yell, but the woman stopped him, muttering something in Spanish. I awkwardly got up.

"Sorry, I'm — We're just going to . . . to go now . . . yeah. . . ." I grabbed Jack and ran with him back to the mall. "That was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me!" I yelled.

"Maybe, but I think we forgot something there. . . ." I looked at him curiously.

"What?"

"This."

He leaned in and kissed me.

I smiled remembering it, I realized three things from that memory. One, that family was Jerry and his parents before they all started fighting; two, Jack and I couldn't have been nicer then; three, we all turned ourselves into someone we weren't. All of thoughts leaving me with one question: What do we do now?
