The picnic cont.

Hey y'all! I hope you guys liked the last chapter! This is kind of like a filler, but I've got some great kick ideas for next chapter! The more reviews I get, the faster you'll get the next chapter! Read, review, and enjoy! :)

Jack and I got out of the lake and tried to ring out our clothes the best we could. Jack grabbed his shirt that was lying on the dock.

We walked in an awkward silence. I opened my mouth to talk a few times, but nothing came out. I didn't know what to say! I almost leaned in to kiss the guy and then I brought up Milton! I could tell he seemed hurt by what I did, but I couldn't betray Milton! It was about a 15 minute walk back, so our clothes were starting to dry as we were walking, the hot sun blazing down on us. When we finally got back to the picnic, everyone was still sitting down talking about politics. We started walking toward everybody.

"Kimberly! Where have you been? You should've been back 15 minutes ago!" My mother shouted.

"I'm sorry mom. We were uh- you know, uh..." I tried to think of an excuse.

"We got to the bathroom and Kim needed "feminine products" so we had to walk to the nearest convenient store. I'm sorry for the delay." Jack chimed in.

Jacks mother walked up to Jack, grabbed him by the ear, and pulled him behind a tree.

"Sweety you had me worried sick!" Milton said as he ran up to give me a hug.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I replied. He nodded and sat back down.

Everyone at the table started up another conversation about politics, except Jack and his mother- who were still behind the tree. I snuck up to the tree and hid behind it so they couldn't see me eavesdropping.

"When I say walk her to the bathroom you take her to the bathroom and straight back!" His mother yelled.

"I don't need you 15 minutes late for a very important picnic! Milton is marrying Kim and we need them to bond and get along! Ugh, I don't know why I kept you all of these years, you damn disgrace!" She yelled. After that, I heard a hard slapping sound. I cringed.

"I'm sorry mother." I heard jack say in a soft tone.

And with that, she walked away without another word. Jack walked out from behind the tree.

"Jack! Did she just hit you?" I asked, bewildered.

"Kim, can we talk about this later? I don't need this right now." He said to me.

"Jack I think you should-"

"Kim stop!" Jack yelled at me.

"This is none of your business! Just go sit with Milton and leave me alone!" He finished.

I stared at him, bewildered at what he just said to me. I turned around and walked back to the picnic table, fighting back tears.

Jacks Pov

I didn't mean to make Kim upset. I was so frustrated! When we were in the lake, right when I was about to lean in and kiss her, she brought up Milton! It's obvious I have feelings for Kim! I'm not afraid to admit it to myself. Although I can tell that Kim always seems to be having an internal conflict with herself about Milton. I walked back to the picnic table, not daring to make eye contact with Kim.

"Well it's a beautiful day! Would anyone like to go on a walk?" Mrs. Crawford said.

There were murmurs of "sure" and "okay" from the group-all except Kim and I. After what just happened, I doubt neither of us wanted to go anywhere or do anything.

I had to apologize to Kim. I know I shouldn't have shouted at her. She was just trying to help me. Okay, I'll apologize next chance I get.

Kim's Pov

Yay, time to go for a walk. Jack just screamed at me for trying to help him! I don't want to go anywhere with that boy!

We all started walking down the sidewalk. My mother and father were in the front, Mr. and Mrs. Brewer were behind them, Milton and I were third, and Jack was walking in the back by himself.

I felt kind of bad for him. He had to be surrounded by all of these couples. How could he not have a girlfriend? He had such luscious brown hair and those two cute little moles on his cheeks. And lets face it- he had a hot body. Wait- what am I saying? Im supposed to be mad at Jack! Yeah, I'm mad.

We walked all around the park. We saw the beautiful trees, there were cute squirrels roaming around, and we even passed the lake Jack and I had swam in. I smiled to myself remembering how much fun that was.

"Kim why are you smiling?" Milton asked me.

"Oh, um... Well I'm just happy to be here with you." I lied. I shot him my best fake smile and he returned it. He draped his arm around my shoulder. It was not at all comforting. I didn't feel safe and secure. Not like when I was with Jack.

Our parents and Milton all seemed to be enjoying themselves. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake Jack's words from my mind.

This is none of your business! Just go sit with Milton and leave me alone!

I couldn't help it that I cared about Jack! I just wanted him to be safe! He should've told someone that his mother abuses him!

About 15 minutes later Burtram pulled up in the limo. Our parents and Milton were discussing something about the stock market while Jack and I were silent. I sat on one side of the limo while Jack sat on the complete opposite.

"Kim, what's wrong darling?" Milton asked me.

i glanced over at Jack and our eyes met. His big brown eyes were full of sorrow. It took all of my strength to look away.

"Nothing. Just a little tired, that's all." I replied. He nodded and joined our parents conversation.

We reached our house and got out of the limo. The Brewers had driven to our house this morning before we carpooled to the picnic, so their car was still there.

"Well goodbye sweetheart." Milton said to me. Then he did something unexpected. He kissed me. Not on the cheek like he normally did- but right on the lips. The kiss was terrible. I honesty felt like I was kissing a slimy fish. We both pulled away. He was smiling like an idiot. I gave him my best fake smile. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jack's fists clenched and he tensed up.

"Goodbye Milton." I replied.

Then the Brewers left. I never even got a good bye from Jack.

I decided to put a Jack Pov in there! Ill try switching from Jack to Kim as much as I can, if that's what you guys like! Please please please review! It makes me so happy to read what you guys think!

Sorry to end on such a sad note between Jack and Kim:( but I'm already writing next chapter and I think you guys will really enjoy it! REVIEW!
