I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER! I have had a super busy week! I made this chapter a little longer than usual to say sorry! And this chapter may seem like a filler at first, but it's not- I promise. This chapter was designed to include important info about Milton. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AT BOTTOM!

No Ones Pov

Soon the warm summer air began to turn into chilly fall weather. The hats and sunglasses were switched with sweaters and scarves, and bicycles turned into sleds. Instead of the sun, there was snow. There were light flurries; it hardly snowed harder than that in late November where this story takes place.

Jack's and Kim's lives went on normally. Kim was still engaged to Milton and Jack was still hit and ignored by his "parents". The wedding day was getting closer and closer, but Kim still didn't know what she would do- marry Milton or stay with Jack- in fear that she would hurt somebody.

Jack and Kim's love life didn't change much either. They still weren't allowed to see one another, but did anyway- secretly of course. Jack snuck over to Kim's house every night around midnight and they would return home around 1:00am or 1:30am. They still went to the lake, which was their favorite place to go. When they felt a little upset, they would take a trip to the graveyard and visit Jack's father. They had to cut through downtown most of the time, but those drunken bar attackers never touched Jack in Kim, probably in fear that Jack may hurt them again.

Jack and Kim were still madly in love with each other and were still falling even harder. However, nobody knew their secret.

Kim's mother gave Kim her phone back and started letting her out of the house more. She must've thought that Jack and Kim had stopped seeing each other... Ha. Her mother had actually seemed more cheerful lately. She was obviously excited about the wedding.

Now that you're all caught up, lets begin this chapter.

Kim Pov

I awoke earlier than usual this morning, so I decided to take a quick shower before breakfast. I hopped out of my bed and felt the chilly air around me. I quickly ran to the bathroom and turned my shower on hot. I stayed in the shower for a good 15 minutes, taking in as much of the warm water as I could, for I would soon have to get out and walk back into the freezer that is my room.

It was late November, and it was a very cold day. This fall had been colder than usual, which meant there would probably be an unbearably freezing winter. I hated the cold. I hated the heat. My favorite season was spring; when the temperate wasn't too cold or too hot and you could comfortably walk around in jeans and a t-shirt or shorts and a tank top.

I walked out of the bathroom and into my room. I quickly changed into sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt.

I realized I had taken a decent amount of time getting ready, and I rushed downstairs, just making it on time for breakfast.

"Hello Kimberly." My mother said.

She was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup a coffee in her hand. My father was sitting next to her, wearing his reading glasses as he read the newspaper. Breakfast was already laid out on the table. There was bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, milk, and orange juice. I grabbed a plate, filled it up, and took a seat next to my father.

"Kimberly, Milton's family is coming over tonight for dinner at 6." My mother told me. "And Kim, I would like to apologize to you about the way I have been treating Jack lately. I guess I was just a little paranoid about the wedding. I thought he would try to talk you out of it. But here we are, preparing for your wedding which will be in 4 months! So exciting!" She squealed.

"Well, he is also invited to the dinner tonight. I think it will be good for our families to bond as much as possible before the wedding." My mother replied.

My father just sat there reading his newspaper. He didn't really care about any of the wedding details. He was like most fathers- upset about losing his little girl.

Yay, another boring dinner with the Brewers. Don't get me wrong, I think Milton and Jack are great, but their obsessive parents are the ones that make my skin crawl. Milton was awesome, but he's more of the friend type to me. He's obviously loyal and trustworthy, but I can't picture marrying him. Jack was even better; he made me feel like the happiest girl in the world. Their parents are just psychotic people.

I finished most of my eggs and bacon so I excused myself from the table and went upstairs. I walked into my room when suddenly-

"BOO!" An intruder yelled as they jumped out from behind a wall. It was Jack.

He walked up to me and gave me a hug. I tried to recover from my mini heart attack.

"Jack, what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I wanted to see you before the dinner. Tonight we should probably keep our distance so your mom doesn't get all suspicious." He explained.

"Okay, but Jack you can't be in here! What if my parents walk in?" I asked.

He laughed. "I don't care. I just wanted to spend a little time with you, Kim."

He smiled his perfect smile and I couldn't help but return it.

I locked my door just in case my parents walked in. For the next few hours, Jack and I just talked, laughed, and just enjoyed each others company.

Before I knew it, it was 1:00 and Jack had to go home. He walked over to the window and turned around to face me.

"Goodbye Kim. See you tonight." He said and winked. Then he hopped out of my room and climbed down the tree.

I blushed. It's amazing how this boy made me feel.

For the next few hours, I sat around my house, bored out of my mind. When the clock struck 5pm, that's when I decided to start getting ready for dinner.

I knew it wouldn't be a fancy dinner. The more dinners and gatherings we had with the Brewers, the more casual they started to become. I slipped on a pair of nice blue jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. I finished the outfit off by adding black boots and a red scarf. I decided to straighten my hair. After about 15 minutes, my hair was nice and straight. I didn't put on as much makeup as I usually did for these dinners, because I started to feel more comfortable around the Brewers without it.

By the time I finished getting ready, it was 6:02. They would be here any minute. I ran downstairs and waited for their arrival. When the doorbell finally rang, I opened the door and greeted the Brewer family.

"Hello Milton." I said nicely as he walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"Hello Kimberly." He said. That's weird. He usually calls me darling or sweetheart- never Kimberly. I shrugged it off and joined the rest of our family at the dinner table.

Throughout dinner, Milton seemed distant. He didn't make eye contact with me once and never spoke a word to me. Something was definitely wrong. Was he worried about the wedding? I tried to shake it off and pay attention to dinner.

Milton Pov

Should I tell Kim what happened? I don't want to upset her. I made a commitment to her and I have to go through with it!

Earlier that day...

I walked into the coffee shop and it was packed! It was pretty cold outside so I decided to get some hot coffee to warm me up. After I ordered, I tried looking for a seat. It seemed like every seat in the building was taken! Then I spotted one. It was right next to a girl. I couldnt see her face because her head was down as she read her book. I walked over and sat down. He looked up from her book and smiled at me, which I politely returned.

"I'm Julie." She said.

"Milton." I replied.

We both stayed there for hours. We just talked and laughed and had a great time. She talked about her family, her friends, and how she was planning on going to Hardvard University. I was impressed. I also talked about my friends and family, but I left Kim and the wedding out of it.

Before I knew it, it was 3 o'clock.

"I should go." I said.

"Aw, okay." She replied.

"It was really nice meeting you Julie! We should do this again sometime." I said.

I could tell she was blushing a little bit and she smiled. "Okay!"

I walked out of the coffee shop and started driving home. For some reason, I couldn't get Julie out of my mind. I tried thinking about other things and tried to focus on something else, but my mind kept wandering back to her. I think I might have feelings for her. But what about the wedding? I can't just leave Kim! I know if she were in my position, she would go through with the wedding, so I should too.

Present- Dinner at the Crawford's

Kim Pov

Milton was definitely acting different. Was he fretting nervous about the wedding? I know I was. How was I supposed to get in front of hundreds of people and marry someone that I don't love? I shook the thought off.

After dinner, we were all gathered around our fireplace. All four parents sat on the long couch, while I sat inbetween Jack and Milton on the smaller couch. I sat kind of close to Jack, but far enough so people wouldn't suspect anything. I was sad that I didn't talk or sit near him all night; we didn't want anyone to get suspicious. Even sitting near Jack him made me happy.

The dinner went well; as far as I knew, nobody thought anything was going on between Jack and I, our families were getting along, and I think I did a good job pretending I wanted to marry Milton.

I excused myself and walked into the kitchen. I poured a small glass of sweet tea. opened the refrigerator door and put the tea back inside. I shut the door and turned around, but I ran into something hard. I looked up and locked eyes with my cute big brown eyed boy. It was Jack. He snaked his arms around my waist. I immediatly wrapped mind around his neck.

"Why hello there Kimberly." He said and smiled.

I smiled back at him. "Jack, aren't you afraid someone's gonna see us?"

"No." He said carelessly, his smile still plastered on his face. "You look beautiful Kim."

I blushed a light shade of red. As a thank you, I kissed him. I always fell in love with him all over again when I kissed him. Our kisses were always so soft and sweet; they were wonderful.

We both pulled away, now both of our faces were pink. He pulled me into a warm hug and kissed the top of my head.

"I was sad I didn't get to spend time with you all night." He whispered in my ear.

"Me too." I replied.

We both pulled away.

"We should probably head back to the living room before people get all suspicious." I said.

"You go first. I'll be in a couple of minutes. I just don't want anyone to assubaa anything if we walk in together." He said.

I nodded and walked back into the living room. As of now, there were three things I was sure about:

1. I would be getting married in 4 months.

2. Something was going on with Milton, but I wasn't sure what it was.

3. I was crazy about Jack Brewer, and I could not be more madly in love with him.

There ya go! Hope you liked it! And I have a few ideas about upcoming chapters.

1) The next chapter will be a normal chapter(full of drama), then ill have a two-parter, then an epilogue. So a total of four more chapters.

2) The exact same thing as idea 1, but the next two or three chapters will be little fillers (kick), then ill do idea 1 too. So a total of six or seven more chapters.

Let me know what you think! If you have any questions, just PM me. Just vote on which idea you like better in the reviews! That's right- REVIEW! :)
