Kim was sitting on her couch. She didn't get much sleep last night. She was thinking about what Faith had said. She felt bad for reacting the way she did now. She felt bad for not hearing Bosco out and letting him tell her what had really happened. She thought she was starting to get over Bosco, but she wasn't. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She missed him so much. He was one of the only people she had to talk to. Kim got up and opened her door to leave and was surprised to see Bosco there. She stood there looking at him for a while. At first she didn't know how to react. She had so many mixed feelings in her. She didn't even notice that she was crying.
"Kim, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. If you want to end this for good and stop seeing me I'll understand. I just want you to know that I didn't kiss her. I'd never do that to you. I love you too much to do that. I miss you," Bosco said softly. He didn't plan on telling her that. It just came out, but it was the truth. And that was the best thing he could tell her right now. He hated seeing her cry. She looked so tired and worn out. He could tell she hasn't gotten much sleep.
"Come in. We really need to talk," Kim replied. She opened the door more so Bosco could come in. They both sat down on her couch.
"what do you want to talk about?" Bosco asked. He dreaded this. Everytime a girl says we need to talk it means it's over for good. He wasn't ready to not have Kim. He loved her. She was the only girl he ever really loved. The only girl besides Faith that he could talk to and open up to. He really wanted her back. "Us. I don't want to end things Bosco. I love you. Faith came over last night and told me what happened between you two. Before sahe told me that I did want to end things and I really didn't want to see you again. But now that I kmow what really happened all I want is to be with you again and go back to the way things were. I'm sorry I reacted the wqay I did and that I didn't here you out. I miss you and I hope you'll take me back," Kim answered. She really did want him back, but she couldn't blame him if hedidn't want the same. She didn't believe him. She didn't even give him a chance to explain what happened. "Kim, of course I want you back. I love you. I've never loved anyone the way I loved you. I'm just glad that this whole thing is over and that we can be together again. I was miserasble without you and I was mad at myself for not seeing the whole thing with Faith coming," Bosco said. He gently touched Kim's face and leaned in to kiss her. It felt so good having her back, being able to hold her in his arms, and kiss her again. He just hoped that nothing like this ever happened again. He wouldn't be able to handle it. He wasn't even able to handle this. He spent m,ost of the time he was away from Kim getting drunk and trying to keep everything that happened off of his mind. Kim pulled away reluctantly. She just had to know something and she hoped that Bosco wouldn't get mad or upset for her asking this.
"Why did Faith Kiss you anyway?" Kim asked. She looked at Bosco trying to read his face, but she saw that he wasn't mad or upset. At leats that was a good thing. She really didn't want him to be mad at her.
"I don't know. She didn't tell me. I was asking her what was wrong and I guess she did it to get off topic or just so she wouldn't have to tell me," Bosco answered. He was running his hand throuh Kim's hair. He loved doing that. He was glad that he and Kim talked about this.
Bosco was getting ready for work when he saw Faith come in. He was still mad at her for what happened, but he wasn't going to switch partners on her. They've worked together for too long. They always know what the other is going to do. "I thought you were going to take soem time off," Bosco said.
"I was, but Fred and I had to rescheduale. I really am sorry for what I did and what happened between you and Kim. I never meant to cause any problems between you two. I'm so sorry," Faith said. She didn't like Bosco being mad at her. He was her best friend. But she couldn't blame him for being mad at her. She deserved after what she did and what she put Bosco through.
"It's fine. I'm not over it and I'm still mad at you, but you did talk to Kim last night which did help. Kim and I are back together," Bosco replied. He could tell that Faith was sorry. He just felt bad that all of this had happened and that he was in this situation. He hated being mad at Faith. He couldn't trust her anymore. And he hated that. She was his best friend, but he couldn't talk to her anymore. At least not yet. Not until he started trusting her again. "That's good. I'm ghlad things worked out between you and Kim," Faith said. "Yeah, I know," Bosco said. He closed his locker and went to roll call. He didn't feel like being near Faith right now. He just couldn't.
Kim was at work now. She saw Jimmy sitting by the window. He looked at her and slowly walked over to her. He fewlt bad for what happened. He didn't like Bosco or that Kim was with Bosco, but he could tell that she really liked him. She was happy with Bosco. "Hey Kim. Are you doing better?" Jimmy asked. He hated seeing Kim hurt and upset, except she didn't look hurt or upset right now. "Yeah. I am feeling better. Bosco and I talked last night and we're back together," Kim answered. She was happy that she had Bosco back. She loved him so much, but she knew that Jimmy wouldn't be happy about her and Bosco getting back together.
"Even after he kissed Faith?" Jimmy asked. He couldn't believe this. How could Kim take Bosco back after what he did to her. He had hurt her so bad. He was kissing Faith while he was still with Kim. He was starting to think she was crazy.
"He didn't kiss Faith. Faith Kissed him. It's none of your business anyway," Kim said. She went upstairs to get changed for her shift. She couldn't wait to see Bosco again.
