Jack woke up with a strange and warm sensation on his chest. He moved his head downwards to come face to face with a sleeping Kim. Her breathing was shallow and she looked extremely peaceful. He smiled at the sight and kissed her forehead lightly. He slowly and gently exited the bed and went downstairs to get ready. He put on his 'plane clothes'. A pair of navy sweatpants, a loose black V-neck shirt and his old black vans. He looked at his room. Boxes and boxes surrounding a peaceful and calm Kim. She looked so lost and tiny in the middle of the boxes.

Jack sighed to himself. Was he doing the right thing? Would Kim ever know his emotions? Jack paced around his room, making his footstep gentle and quiet. He looked at the boxes and decided to start putting them in his car. They were going to be shipped to his new apartment in NY. Once all the boxes were removed from his room he realised that there were three left: one for his parents, one for Jerry and one for Kim. He went to look in the box labelled 'Kim'. He found some of his old sweaters, cause he knew how much she loved them, some photos and some other CDs and DVDs. As he looked through the box he came up with the idea to write a note and hide it in one of his jumpers. At least this way she would know how he felt.

Jack poured his love and emotion into the letter and by the end he could feel tears running his face. He hid it and then got up to freshen up. Once he looked presentable he went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He looked in his cupboards and found nothing. He decided to go down to the Starbucks and the supermarket.

Kim woke up at 9am to find an empty room and bed. All that was left was three boxes neatly stacked in the corner. Kim started freaking out and quickly freshened up, put on her old clothes and ran downstairs to see a startled Jack standing with a bag with eggs, bacon and bagels in one hand, a two Starbucks drinks in the other.

Kim's eyes were red and tear stricken and her face was puffy. Jack looked at Kim concerned "What happened?" Kim just looked at him and hugged him as tight as she could. "I thought you left without saying goodbye again." Jack's heart broke "Ok Kim, I'm going to put these on the kitchen counter and I'll make some breakfast and then we can talk about this ok?" Kim gave him a small nod. Jack handed Kim her drink and smiled at her. Kim looked down and went to sit on Jack's couch. She turned on the TV and watched 'Friends' reruns, slipping her drink slowly, whilst Jack cooked some egg and bacon bagels.

Jack came back with two plates and sat down. Kim smiled at the TV watching the 'Friends' series finale. She was up to the end when Ross turned and found Rachel at the door, after she decided not to get on the plane. Kim sighed, wishing that that may happen to her and Jack. "Hey Kim, I get it that you don't want me to leave but –" Kim quickly cut him off. "Look, Jack I get it. You have to leave. I'm not saying I'm happy that this is happening but can we not have this chat because it's only going to make saying goodbye harder. You don't know how much I regret choosing to move back here. I mean I was living in New York. But no I thought I'd be smart and move back here so that we could live together and see each other daily." Kim had tears running don her face and Jack nodded "Kim please stop I don't want you to be upset." Kim nodded and Jack smiled "Ok. Just eat up because I have to leave for the airport 11.30, because I have a 3 o'clock flight and it's now 10.30" Kim nodded and started eating. "How are you going to tell Nessa Jack?" Jack sighed and looked down. "Kim can you tell her for me? I can't handle saying goodbye to you and I don't think I'll survive if I have to say goodbye to both of you." Kim nodded. "Well, I have to go. Good Luck in New York. I expect to see a new movie soon Superstar." Jack nodded and quickly ran upstairs to grab her box. "Kim here is some stuff for you." Jack placed it at his front door and then returned to Kim. "Ok, um… bye Jack." Jack smiled "Bye Cherry blossom." Kim hugged Jack as hard as possible. Jack kissed her gently before Kim left. Jack watched as his front door slowly closed. He had just said goodbye to his true love.

Kim trudged back to her house, her feet making heavy stomps. When she reached the house she crashed at the front. She couldn't take it. She had stayed calm and Jack's but all she wanted to do was cry. She looked up at the clock. 1.45, 1 hour and 15 minutes until Jack would be out of Seaford forever.

Kim went upstairs and unlocked her iPhone. She attacked it to her CD/iPhone dock and played her playlist called 'KICK'. The song all just made her depressed. 'Will you stick with me through whatever?' 'Yeah, I'm no angel, I'm just me, but I will love you endlessly' and 'if I gave all I had would it have made you stay?' Kim laid on her cried. She saw the box from Jack at the end of her bed and decided to unpack it. She opened it up and found a layer of DVDs and CDs. She picked up the one that read 'KICK MIX TAPE' in Jack's clumsy handwriting. She looked at the track list and laughed. 'Stand By Me', 'Eternal Flame', 'Hello', 'When A Man Loves A Women', 'At Last, 'Your Song', 'Stuck On You', 'Sk8ter Boi', 'He Could Be The One', 'As Long As You Mine', 'Something To Believe In', 'Hopelessly Devoted To You', 'Heart Made Up On You', 'Right Here, Right Now', 'Just Wanna Be With You', but the last track broke Kim's heart 'Goodbye Love'. She ejected her phone and put in the CD. She hummed along with the CD whilst she put the items away.

Nessa came into Kim's room to visit her mum. Nessa looked at her mum. She had a small smile on her face yet she also had tears running down her face. "Mum, what's wrong?' Kim turned around and realised she'd have to act fast. "Um, I was just, um hey babe take a seat I have something to tell you." Nessa nodded and took a seat on the bed. Kim turned her radio down, so that I played softly in the background. Kim took the jumpers out of the box and started to refold them. "Um, Nessa. Your dad, he got a new film job and is about to get on a plane back to NY. Babe he's moving back." Nessa felt tears burning her eyes. "But, he didn't say goodbye." Kim could feel fresh tears as well. "I know butterfly, but you have to understand that it was hard for him." Nessa nodded but continued to sob. Kim pick up the last jumper and stared and her daughter. "Here Babe" Nessa unwrapped the jumper and put it on. It looked like a dress on her. Nessa felt something stabbing her back and she pulled out an envelope with 'To Kimmy, Love Jack'. Nessa stared at it before saying "Hey Mum, there is something for you here." Kim grabbed the envelope slowly and gently. She observed for a while before opening it. Out of the envelope came a travel size of Jack's cologne, a cherry blossom branch and a letter. She put the two items on her bedside table and she slowly opened the letter. It read:

To Kim,

Look I know that I was never was, and never will be your favourite person.

We have always had our ups and downs. I really miss those times where we would hang out, and sing or when we would email each other and chat about each other's funerals. I miss when we could talk to each other about anything and we wouldn't judge each other.

When we dated I enjoyed it, but when we broke up I just, yeah. I always tell everyone that I don't care or that it was just a prank relationship, but when we broke up my heart broke.

You don't know how many times I think about you. I wonder about what it would have been like if we didn't lose contact. I think about us and I always end up upset.

There have been moments when a song comes on, or when someone talks about something, or when someone tells a joke and I just wanted to share them with you.

Three years after we broke up and lost contact, I started asking anonymous question on you about myself and your opinions on me. When you replied saying thing like 'Hate Him' and 'Don't Remember Him' I felt upset. I knew that we were broke up but I still felt heartbroken.

When I returned and found out about our kid I couldn't have loved you anymore. I just, yeah. Just remember I love you and I always will. Please call and visit I'd love to see you and Ness.

Lots of love now and forever,

By the end of the letter Kim was in tears. "Nessa put on some shoes. I'm going to the airport to get Jack back." Kim pulled her shoes on and quickly put her hair in a bun. The two girls jumped into Kim's car and she sped to the airport.

When they arrived at Jack's gate, they check the board. "Ok so 3 o'clock flight to NY… just left." Kim couldn't contain it anymore. She and Nessa crashed into one of the little restaurants and Kim just cried. Nessa sat opposite to her mum. This was a lot to process for a six year old. Nessa grabbed her mum's wallet and went to the counter to order some food. The cashier looked at Nessa strangely as she approached. She was a little blond girl with a jumper that looked like it was way to big for. When Nessa reached the counter the girl asked, "Hey Sweetie, what would you like today?" Nessa smiled "A raspberry muffin, a chocolate muffin, a hot chocolate and a latte please?" The girl nodded and prepared Nessa's order. She looked at the young child, as she sat in their tall chairs with her mum's wallet in her hands. "Sweetie. I have your order. Do you want me to come with you?" Nessa shook her head. "No thank you." And the girl watched as the independent little girl walked off with a brown paper bag and two cups.

When Nessa reached the table, she saw that Kim was still crying. "Mum, I bought some food and drinks." Kim smiled at her daughter "Thanks Butterfly." They ate in silence until Nessa saw a familiar face in the distance. "Daddy?" Jack's head popped up. The voice sounded some familiar. He looked around until he spotted Nessa and Kim in a corner booth. He picked up his bag and sprinted towards them. Kim looked into the distance until she recognised the figure running towards them. Jack hugged Nessa and then pulled Kim into a fiery kiss. When they pulled apart Kim looked at Jack curiously "I couldn't get on the plane." Kim smiled at Jack and said, "Well, thank god for that." Jack laughed before hugging his two favourite girls.
