Jack's POV

"...And then I kissed her, " I said, recounting how Kim and I got together.

"Aw, Jack went for the kill!"

"And she gave me the hiccups."

"Way to ruin a moment bro."

"Stop interrupting me Jerry."

"Sorry man." By the look on his face I could tell that he was not sorry.

"And the rest is history." I finished looking up at Milton, who had brought his clipboard out and had begun to take notes.j

"Jack," Milton started, "You really need to stop beginning your sentences with 'and'. It's improper grammar"

"Can I have some real help here?" I groaned

"Jack the answer is right in front of your face." Milton said looking at me expectantly

"It is?"

"Dude, you have to do something with hiccups. Even I got that." Jerry said

"I'm an idiot."

"Yeah, you are."

"HEY." I said, but not really offended, then an idea hit me like a ton of bricks. "Guys!" I said, jumping up, "I have an idea! But I need your help." In my shouting, I woke up Eddie and Rudy. All of the guys got up and saluted to me. Jerry bowed at me and said "Love Doctor at your service".

"Alright guys, here's the plan."

"Rudy and Eddie, I'm going to need you to get Kim and bring her to the beach, but only get her when I text you the signal."

"What exactly is the signal?" Eddie asked

"Um, get Kim?"

"Got it!" Eddie shouts, then Rudy adds "How are we supposed to get her out of her house?" Shoot, this might ruin my plan. But as I turn, a shiny object catches my eye. Kim's keys. I smile as I pick them off the ground. "She won't be in her house," I say as I hold up he keys "Cause she can't get in".

"Awesome"

"Milton," I said, turning to him "I need you too help me find ways to get the hiccups."

"What?"

"You heard me." "And Jerry, I need you to get a bucket and bring it to the beach."

"Already done." Jerry says as he walks over to his locker and pulls out a bucket. Everyone just stares at him,

"What?"

"Uh. Nothing," Then turning toward all of the guys "Okay, let's do this. I have a girl to get back."

Kim's POV

Walking home alone down a busy street was probably not my best plan. I nearly got ran over four times. Four times! Doesn't anyone pay attention here?! As I reach my house I reach for my keys, but realize that I left my key to the my house in the dojo. Now I have to go all the way back, and no doubt Jack is still there. Maybe you shouldn't have slapped him again I thought to myself, but nah, he deserved it. But he looked so hurt when you stormed out. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. I kept chanting that until I began to believe it myself.

Whether I liked it or not, Jack Brewer was inching his way back into my heart. I think about this as I walk toward the Seaford mall. As I turn into the main entrance I see that the dojo is empty. Dang it- I mean, Yes! This means I won't have to see Jack again today. I don't know how I feel about that, I hate to say it, but I miss him. I walk towards the doors and I can see my keys on the bench inside. As I push the doors, I realize that they are locked Shoot. Maybe Joan has a master key and can open it.
I think to myself as I walk towards the other side of the mall. AS I near her office I see Rudy walking ahead of me.

"Hey Rudy! " I shout out and he turns around.

"Oh hey Kim," He says while he walks over to me, I hear footsteps behind me and I see Eddie walking towards us as well, Hm, That's oddI don't think much of it since my mind is mostly on getting my keys.

"Rudy, I left my keys in the dojo, can I have the key so that I can unlock the door and get it out?"

"No, you can't."

"Alright thanks I- Wait wha-" I didn't finish my sentence because a bag was put on my head by Rudy and before I could act, Eddie tied my arms and hands together.

"Guys?! What the he-" I was then picked up and my ankles were tied. Now, I was being carried somewhere.

"Guys. I'm warning you. Put. Me. Down"

"Rudy... I think we should put her down." Eddie said nervously, I'm guessing he didn't want to get kicked in the face, because at the moment, that is what I was trying to do.

"Nope. She will just run away and run into a tree.'

"I will not!" I said right before I was put into the back seat of a car. Eddie then put my seatbelt on me so I would fall down everywhere. Well, at least they don't want me to die I thought spitefully. They are so going to get it later.

"Rudy, did you poke holes in the bag so she got air"

"What?"

"Rudy! We don't want her to suffocate!"

"This is why I never went into the Secret Service! I can't kidnap people!" I could breathe fine, but I decided to play the part to either see where I was going or to get a chance to run. I began to breathe quickly and making sounds. "Guys" I gasped "Kinda runnin out of ai..." I then promptly pretended to faint.

"Rudy! She passed out"

"Shoot. We are here anyways. Get her out and make sure she is still alive." I heard the car door open and Eddie lifted off my bag. I still pretended to be passed out.

"Kim... Kim... Wake up..." My eyes shot open and i yelled

"BOO!"

"Ahhhh!" Eddie yelled falling backwards. Heh, sorry Eddie. Hey I'm at the beach. I jump up to get out of the car, but my seatbelt is still one and my hands are tied (literally). Once Eddie gets his bearings back he puts the bag back on my head, greaaaaaat. and he unbuckles my seatbelt and gets me out of the car. I can overhear Rudy talking.

"Jack, where are you? We are at the beach but no one is here." Rudy says Oh no. I hear mumbling from the other side

"We are at Seadun beach" "Well then why don't I see you?" "Oh okay, I'll just leave Kim with Eddie and I'll go look."

"No." Eddie says "we are going to take her with us." Darn it. I can handle Eddie.

"Eddie, alright fine. Jack we are on our way". I hear the phone hang up and I am getting picked up again. Once I can feel that we are on sand I start kicking and yelling threats at Eddie and Rudy. Unfortunately, they don't get fazed. Well maybe the do, I just can see them. After about ten minutes of me yelling I hear Jerry.

"Goodness chica, I could hear you from a mile away."

"Well. I don't take kindly to being kidnapped."

"Hey! You guys are both tied up in rope! You guys can start a swag new fashion statement!" What?

"Guys! *hiccup* You tied her up? Now she *hiccup*'s going to be even more made at *hic* me..."

"You said get her!"

"I didn't mean *hic* kidnap her! Oh well, tha *hic* nks anyways guys. Oh and you might *hic*want to put her down" They begin to put me down Thank you. "And take off her ropes and bag"

"Yo, I don't know Jack. I kinda like her this way." Jerry says, poking my arm. I growl at him. I hear him take a step back.

"Yeah Dudes, untie her..." Jerry laughs nervously.

"Don't run away this time. Try to listen." Milton whispers in my ear.

"Fine" I hear myself say. Once I am no longer restrained, I take off the bag myself and look around. The light hurts my eyes, but once they adjust, I realize how nice it looks. It is just about sunset, the ocean has taken on a orange color and the palms trees are all next to me. I then see Jack and understand what Jerry meant. Jack is tied to a tree and has a bucket with him. Once the guys realize that I am not running away this time they back up and leave us alone. I make my way towards Jack.

"Um... What's all this?" I ask

"My apol- *hic* -ogy, take two, since I *hic* screwed up the last one." He said nervously.

"Do you... Do you have the hiccups?"

"*hic* yeah." I stifle a laugh

"Jack? Why is there a bucket here?" He clears his throut

"*hic* It was in case you were still * hic * mad at me. If you were, you could thro *hic* -w ice cold ocean water at me or hit me... That's *hic* why I'm on this tree. I can't *hic* fight back." I swear, I think I could have kissed him right then and there, but I decided he deserved a bucket of water to the face. I nodded and grabbed the bucket and started to run toward the water. Once I got a bucket full of water, I began to walk back towards Jack. I smirked as I watched him visibly flinch as I pretended to throw the bucket of water on him.

"Alright, just do it already. Kiiiiiiiiiiiiim..." he mumbled as I threw half of the bucket on his head slowly "...This is cruel."

"Jaaaaaaaaaaccckk."

"Kimmy." Jack said, looking me straight in the eyes. Many words and un-shed tears past between us in that moment. I refused to break the stare, but I couldn't keep staring, so I did the only natural thing, I threw the rest of the water. But of course the wind began to pick up and it threw the water back at me before it hit Jack. Greaat, now we are both wet. I couldn't help it, I started laughing, and soon Jack started laughing as well. Though, just as soon as it started his laugh was gone, replaced with a serious look.

"Kim?"

"Yeah?"

"I just want to *hic* tell you that I'm really sorry about *hic* what I did. I wish I could redo the whole day to make *hic* sure that this never happened, but I *hic* can't. I just want you to *hic* know that I messed up big *hic* time, hurting you, I thought maybe I *hic* could live without you, Kim but the *hic* truth is, I can't. I spent all of the days we *hic* were apart trying to figure out how I could get you back *hic* and how I could get you to *hic* forgive me." He looked me in the eyes and I knew that everything he was saying was true. "But the truth is, *hic* I can't get you to forgive me, only you can do *hic* that. I just want you to know that *hic* even if you don't forgive me *hic* now, I'm going to keep trying," He cracked a small smile, i couldn't help but return it. "*hic* until I get it right. Kim, I... *hic* I... I love you Kim."

Did he just say... Yeah he did. OH MY GOD. He loves me. He loves me. Well say it back dummy.

Jack's POV

Kim just stood there, she looked shocked and excited at the same time, which I didn't think was possible. But she made it possible, and incredibly cute. Man, I'm so sappy. Then she began to walk, and she walked past me. Oh no. I scared her off.

"Kim, don't *hic* leave." I said, trying to see behind me.

"Who said I was leaving?" She said, as my ropes went slack.

"Kim?"

"Jack." She said appearing in front of me. She put her hands on my shoulders and pulled me in until our lips met. And again, and again. In between kisses she said

"I love you too Jack" And then I kissed her.

"Wait,' I said, pulling away,

"What?"

"I'm gonna give *hic* you the hiccups." She smiled, as if saying what an idiot, Hm, I missed that smile

"I don't care."

Well guys. I did it. I actually wrote a chapter. Until next time. BYYEEEE
