Chapter 2- Musical dreams
Kim's P.O.V
Oh my god. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Some kid just got hit by a truck! So I did what every other teenage girl would do. I screamed.
''Kim what's wrong? Are you ok?'' Kendall asked. I knew he was worried but I couldn't speak.
''Call 911.'' I said surprisingly calmly.
''What?'' ok I knew he was confused but this wasn't the time to be sympathetic.
''NOW'' I yelled as I ran over to where the kid was now lying unmoving on the road.
He did as I said. Smart boy. Not the time for sarcastic comments, I scolded myself.
As I ran over I could hear Kendall yelling into the phone. I got closer; I noticed that his (yep it was a guy) legs had taken most of the blow so his head was just a little scratched up. Come to think of it he looks kinda familiar. Long-ish sweeping brown hair, two little moles…
No
Finally I couldn't help myself, I carefully picked up his head and gently placed it on my lap, afraid of hurting him any more than the stupid driver, whom I noticed had bolted, and whispered his name.
''Jack? Jack? Please jack don't do this. Jackie please'' I was now quietly sobbing and I could see my tears falling onto his face.
Kendall's P.O.V
I knew how Kim could get, so I did what she told me. Ok, ok I know I'm the older brother here but do you want an angry black belt on your case? No? That's what I thought.
I was really confused to begin with but then I saw her run towards that kid on the road I yelled what I thought was around about our location- What I haven't been here in two years, gimme a break!- and ran over to see her sitting on the road, which the traffic wasn't all that happy about, holding the boy's head and crying. I felt like I should say something but when I opened my mouth I swear Kim's friend jerry would confuse me with a goldfish. I knelt down and gently put my hand on her shoulder. Wait this kid looks familiar… oh god no.
It's been two years but I still remember this kid. What kind of brother would I be if I didn't remember my sisters all time-total-obsessive-crush (Yeah I remembered jerry but he's too A) funny and B) too much of an idiot not to)? This was jack. Poor kimmy must be crushed I know how much she cared for him and that obviously hasn't changed and if im this upset (come on, the guys awesome and if he didn't have kimmy he would definitely by MY best friend) I cant even imagine how bad she's taking this. Actually I can because she hasn't talked in the time I've been sitting here. I don't even think she has acknowledged my presence. I had to speak soon because I could hear the sirens getting closer. If I didn't talk to her, she'd have a breakdown in front of all of them.
''Kimmybear, please, I know you're upset but you can't just sit on the road for the rest of the night. One, the traffic is already starting to get mad, and two, the ambulance will be here soon and I think you should talk to them.'' I said, watching her face for any kind of reaction.
She sobbed again and sighed. ''I know, please help me get him off the road. He's over 6 feet tall and is literally pure muscle.'' I must have been looking at her funny because she blushed and rolled her eyes.
'' I spar against him all the time and I've seen him in swim trunks before. I'm a teenage girl, I'm gonna notice.'' She explained.
''Ok then. Just so long as he doesn't try anything on you'' I was just teasing, I know jack respects her way too much to do anything like that. '' I'm still you're big bro, now come on lets get him out of the way of angry drivers.''
She laughed lightly and gently lifted his head and torso off of the ground as I carefully supported his legs, which were definitely broken, and carried him over to the sidewalk. We got him into a reasonably comfortable looking position just as the ambulance pulled up. Three paramedics jumped out and started bombarding us with questions, and somehow, Kim managed to answer almost all of them. She knew his mobile, house and both of his parents numbers BY HEART! She knew that he was allergic to blue cheese and certain types of soap. She even knew his blood type and could pretty much give a very accurate recount of his medical records for the last 5 years of his life. The only thing she couldn't answer was who he would want to go with him. They were asking about his parents but she said that they were about ten minutes away and she thought they should get him to the hospital as soon as possible.
''Kim, why don't you go with them?'' I asked, I knew she wanted to but of course she's too stubborn to ask. She blushed like a tomato as the paramedics agreed.
''Of course'' said a paramedic who said her name was Jamie ''you're his girlfriend and you know everything about him, if you can call his parents and let them know, then get your cough…cute…cough brother to drive along behind the ambulance seeing as we do need to have an adult with you.'' Kim was blushing like crazy and im sure my cheeks had turned a slight pink. But its not like im into this chick, I have the perfect girlfriend, who is staying with her parents just out of town, called Lucy. We have been together since just before I joined the army and I love her. Plus this girl is staring at me like a lunatic so I just nodded my head and got out of there.
Kim's P.O.V
I could barley contain my laughter as I noticed that Jamie chick checking out my brother. I could mention his girlfriend but oh well … I ignored the fact that she called me his girlfriend and hopped into the ambulance after Kendall escaped. The paramedics closed the door and I grabbed his hand. I must have still been crying because little drops of water dripped onto his face. I couldn't control myself any longer. I literally broke down. I'm so glad no-one could see me, or my reputation as tough girl Crawford would be down the drain.
I didn't let go of his hand all the way to the hospital and when they opened the doors again I still didn't let go. I must have been a complete mess because everyone in the hospital started giving me looks with a mix of pity and disgust as I walked past, still holding his hand as if he would escape if I let him go. I didn't let go until they made me, apparently im not allowed to go into his room until they find out how bad the damage is. Stupid doctor people. I started pacing around the waiting room, I was so worried, what if he's not ok? What if he could never do karate again? What if he could never walk again? Oh god, I was about to start hyperventilating when Kendall rushed in.
"Hey Kim, calm down, I know you're worried but he'll be ok. Call his mom and get her down here then call your friends. I'm sure they'll want to see him too.''
''Ok, yeah, you're right he'll be fine. I'll go call Liz (yes im on a first name basis with his mom and he's on a first name basis with our parents), how I'm going to break the news that her son has just been hit by a truck, I have no idea…''
"It's ok she'll be fine so long as she knows you're here with him, she knows you care for him almost as much as she does.'' How do older brothers always know what to say? That I do not know, but it sure as heck is annoying.
15 minutes later
"Ok, Kendall, I called his mom, that was not easy, and after I calmed her down, I called grace and after having her cry for a while I told her to get everyone to the hospital asap.'' I explained while I began pacing again.
"Ok, ok. Kim, stop pacing. Everything will be fine"
As if on cue, the doctor who pried me away from jack's side before, came walking through the big white double doors. I did what a mature person would do. Ran up to him and asked him questions 100 miles per hour. Ok, so not mature, how about worried best friend? That works better, doesn't it?
"Kim, shut up!" Kendall cried as he pulled me off of the doctor's arm. "How is he doc?" he asked calmly, making sure I couldn't get past him.
"It's not great I'm afraid, but it's better than we thought." The doctor said in a monotone voice. I swear if I had been in math class I would have been asleep by now. Wait, what? It's better than he thought?
"What's better? How is it better? Can I see him?'' Yeah lets just say that Kendall's hold on me wasn't strong enough to stop me almost throwing him into a wall as I yelled questions at a bored doctor.
"Well, thankfully, the truck wasn't going too fast so he's not doing too bad, but he has a broken leg, a broken wrist, a couple broken ribs and a fractured ankle (I don't know, or care if that's a real thing), but he will be ok in about 4 months. He'll be out of karate for a while though, and he's still asleep bit you can go see him if you like" he sounded so bored, like he had said this billions of times already. But I wasn't bothered, I could see jack!
"Yes! Yes please. Kendall can I?" God I sound like a 6 year old, but I don't care. I grabbed a hold of his arm and started jumping up and down.
"God, Kim of course! I wouldn't keep you from seeing your boyfriend would I?" he said with a smirk. Bad move bro. He was on the floor in seconds.
"Sheesh, Kimmy! What the hell! I need to get back in shape. Just go see him; I think you dislocated my shoulder! Can you take a look at this doc?"
I didn't hang around to hear any more. I ran down the corridor counting the room numbers and almost tripping up a man on crutches. I yelled an apology but I was so far away by then I doubt he heard. About a minute later I could see his room. I almost missed the wheelchair I was about to run into. I was too close and going too fast to move so I just flipped over it. Literally. I came to a halt outside his door. Hesitating a little, I pushed open his door. I was shocked by what I saw. Jack was lying on his back, pretty much mummified in bandages, with one leg elevated and three casts. I've never seen him look so weak. It didn't look like him.
I walked slowly, as if afraid to wake him, towards his bed. I sat in the chair and took his hand in mine. I almost started crying again, when the door burst open, and the creepily quiet vibe was completely destroyed by none other than the wasabi warriors. Grace had tear tracks down her cheeks and strangely enough, so did Rudy and Jerry. She and Julie ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"Kim, are you ok?" Julie asked me, pulling away from our hug.
"I'm fine but Jack…" I didn't dare finish or I would definitely start to cry.
"Oh My God." They said in unison. Now I understand why they get creeped out when jack and I do that.
Jerry came over and gave me a small hug.
"You ok mamacita?" I heard worry and concern in his voice. That was rare for him. I just nodded and hugged him again.
"I'm gonna go ask the doctor about his condition, kay guys?" for once, Rudy was being an adult. "Oh, and Jerry? Don't break anything, please, we still haven't paid off the debt for that dentists chair you just had to play on." He added with a slight cringe.
"Don't worry Rudy, I'll keep an eye on every one." Milton said putting his arm around Julie (did I mention they're dating now, all thanks to jack and I, our next project is Kelsey and Eddie considering we already got jerry and grace together, now that wasn't easy, they're so stubborn), always living on the edge isn't he?
Suddenly, Kendall came running in. He looked back quickly, slammed the door and slid his back down it.
"Ok, somebody please hide me! That girl is out of control! She followed me to the freakin' bathroom, Help!" He yelled. Wow She's persistent.
"Ok just stay in here and if she comes Eddie will help you escape and I'll distract her? Cool? Good." I had lots of training in this; girls were always after my brother, just like they were after Jack. I always got them to leave him alone too and he would always tease me about having a crush on him but it would kill me for him to be with another girl. As if on cue, the door handle shook.
"Kendall baby, come on out!" if that was supposed to be a seductive voice then Jamie, girl you need practice.
"Agghh! How did she find me!" he yelled.
"Ugh! Kendall, don't worry, just go out the other…" I looked behind me as I stood up, letting go of jack's hand for the first time since I got into his room. "And there is no other door. Ok new plan, everyone follow my lead…" I walked forwards and opened the door before Kendall, or anyone else could stop me.
"Kim!" everyone yelled.
Jamie stumbled into the room and looked around franticly. Her eyes trained on Kendall and she started squealing. Wow this girl's got problems.
"Hey Kenny, baby" Kenny? Wow… "Why were you running? It's a good thing your little sissy here let me in or you wouldn't be able to see me!" she squealed.
I discretely put my phone back into my pocket and waited. Time to put my plan into action. I looked at Eddie and nodded my head. He looked confused but before he could ask, his phone started playing 'call me maybe' by carly rae jepsen (do not own the song). We all stared at him.
"Really, Eddie?" grace and I said in unison.
"What!" he defended before answering his phone and making the awful music stop. His face spread into a grin as he looked in my direction.
"Hey, Kendall? How did your GIRLFRIEND, Lucy get my number? And why does she say she's on her way over? I thought your GIRLFRIEND, Lucy lived out of town?" he said emphasizing the word girlfriend every time. Kendall smirked at me.
"Girlfriend? Girlfriend!" she screeched. "I thought there was something special between us but obviously you don't feel the same way!" She stormed out of the room. The door had almost closed when her make-up caked face appeared again. "But…. If you ever break up, or you get, you know, bored, you know where I'll be…" and with that she left. Kendall, who had just been nodding the whole time, now wore a shocked expression. He shook his head and sighed.
"I'm gonna go, go find Rudy. I need some adult company for once. I need to call Lucy and thank her too. Oh by the way, thanks Kim, Eddie. I owe you one." He said as he left the room.
I was about to point out that if it was adult company he wanted, then he was better off staying with us, but you know what? I'll let him figure that out by himself. I know. I'm slightly evil. I've been told. I'll just keep the door closed so we can't be held responsible in any way for anyone or thing that may be damaged while we're here.
3 minutes later
"I'm bored."
Calm Kim, do not attack.
"I'm bored."
Just ignore him. Focus on Jack…
"I'm bored."
That's it.
"SHUT UP JERRY! YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR TEN MINUTES, BROKEN THREE CHAIRS, A LAMP AND THE FREAKIN' WNDOW IN THE DOOR! HOW ARE YOU BORED?!" I screamed. What? Don't judge me, everyone was thinking it.
He screamed, jumped into grace's lap and started sucking his thumb. Big baby.
"Ok, ok, mamacita, calm down, lets just put the TV on." He whimpered as he grabbed a remote from the large rack on the wall. He pushed the big red button and nothing happened. That he noticed, anyway. I suddenly felt that my hand, which was again, glued to jack's, had moved a bit. There it goes again. Jerry kept pressing the button. I looked at jack. Oops. Grace, Julie, Milton and Eddie noticed my facial expression and they looked scared.
"Three, two, one." They counted as jerry just looked confused, no surprise there.
"JERRY."
"Yes, Kim." He asked timidly
"Wrong remote." I said through gritted teeth as I pointed to the strange position that Jack was now lying in because his bed had been moved. Slowly, he backed up to the door. No chance jer, not a chance. I looked at grace and nodded. We both lunged forward. Jerry screamed. We grabbed his arms and dragged him over to the green couch in the corner of the room. I got the CORRECT remote off of the wall and hit him over the head with it.
"You so much as breathe and you will go through that window." I threatened while he nodded franticly. I flipped my hair over my shoulder and high-fived grace as we sat down. Milton set jack's bed back to the way it should be and Eddie got the remote off of jerry, who was slowly turning purple, and turned the TV on. Great the football game. Normally I wouldn't mind but when grace, jerry, jack and I all support the Seaford whales, our hometown team, Eddie, Milton and Julie all support the San Diego bears because it's what they all decided on when we were all fighting, not exactly friendly. Just our luck that they were both playing today. This could get ugly.
20 minutes later
Rudy and Kendall were still not back and something told me that was a good thing because when they see this they will freak. Jerry had somehow broken a window and I had almost thrown him out of it (he is so lucky that his girlfriend is very persuasive). All the couch cushions had been thrown around the room and Milton had been taken to another room because a) he was getting very angry and b) we think grace may have broken his wrist… Julie had gone with him and Eddie had ran screaming from the room when he saw it was three against one. So now it was me, grace, jerry and a still blacked-out jack. I hope he wakes up soon.
"Oh, Oh, Oh, NOOO!" we all chanted when the whales just missed the winning goal (I'm English so I have no idea how to play American football). Jerry didn't take it too well. He threw the cushions around the room and almost fell through the broken window that we had so far hidden from anyone who walked past the room. Do not ask how. He yelled very loudly, and took grace and I by surprise when he launched the remote across the room. If looks could kill, grace and I would be planning his funeral. The remote hit Jack square on the forehead.
"Out." I said through gritted teeth. He stood there frozen. "NOW!" I yelled. He sprinted out of the room. Grace followed him groaning and mumbling something about him not breaking anything else. They really were a great couple but I feel sorry for grace sometimes. I could not put up with jerry like that. Ever.
Jack's P.O.V (he's still blacked out)
Ok. OW! What the hell was that?! I have no idea but something just hit my head.
"Out. NOW" Ok then well whoever it was, Kim's now got rid of them. Yes, I know it's weird that I can hear everything that they're saying but I can't respond, and trust me it's annoying. I heard Kim cry. My Kimmy NEVER cries. My kimmy? Where did that come from… Oh who am I kidding; you already know I'm in love with her. I just wanted to hold her hand, like she had been doing for the past hour, and tell her I'm ok. But of course, I can't do that. I felt her take my hand again and sit down next to me. I heard the door open and close, so someone must have come into the room. I heard sobbing, quickly followed by the door opening and closing again. I guessed it was my mom. Don't get me wrong, I loved her but she hated hospitals and seeing her kids injured. This is why either Rudy or Kim's parents came with me whenever I had a karate injury, and I had to bring in my 12 year old little brother Leo when he fell out of that tree and broke his arms. She will probably just sit in the waiting room until visiting hours are over.
As if on cue, someone, who I presume was a doctor, came in and started talking to Kim.
"Excuse me miss? Visiting hours are over. You have to leave."
"Please doctor, don't make me go, I can't leave him." She pleaded
"I'm sorry miss, you have to…" he didn't get to finish
"I'm not leaving his side." She stated
"Miss, you have to leave!" he insisted
"I'm won't leave him! I care about him! I…I…I love him." She stuttered. She did not just say that. She loves me too. I can't believe she loves me too. If I could, you know, move I would have ran up and hugged her there and then.
The doctor sighed. "I'll give you an hour." The door opened and closed again so I'm guessing he left. Kim came back and sat by my bed again.
"I can't believe this happened. Jack? Just know I'll never leave you." Her voice cracked.
She gently moved my head and lay down on the pillow, gently humming a tune.
I didn't recognize it. Either she just made it up, or it's one of her songs. Yeah, karate chic tough girl Crawford writes her own songs, sings and plays the piano. She has an amazing voice too but considering she hasn't told anyone, she barley ever uses it. I know what you're thinking; if she hasn't told anyone, how do you know? Well, I heard her singing in the shower one morning and it was a song I didn't know (and I am obsessed with music). And all you people with a sick mind, shut up it's not unusual for us to spend the night at each other's houses.
She started singing softly. (Italics=singing)
I want to start by letting you know this
because of you my life has a purpose
you helped be who I am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
Trapped in a world where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
You always know how to make me feel better
Because of you my dad and me
are so much closer than we used to be
You 're my escape when I'm stuck in a small town
I turn you up whenever I feel down
you let me know like no one else
it's ok to be myself
I knew the song was about me. I know I'm the only one who can make her feel better when she's upset, heck, her mom calls me if she's sad because I'm the only one who can get her out of her room! Thanks to me she got to see her dad on her birthday.
(FLASHBACK) Still Jack's P.O.V
It's Kim's birthday in a week and I still haven't bought her present. I'm freaking out! I need to get her something special, or at least something that will beat Jerry's macaroni necklace.
"Hey! It's rigatoni!" he yelled defensively. Oops, I must have said that out loud.
Suddenly Kim burst through the dojo doors. I went over to say hi, but she pushed past me and ran straight to the girls locker room.
" Whoa. What's up with her?" Eddie asked.
"What's up with who yo? I'm confused!" Well you can guess who said that.
At that moment, Milton decided to start an argument about how unicorns did not exist. I didn't hang around; these things normally end with Rudy paying for a new wall. I ran back to the locker rooms and stopped outside the door. This is the girl's locker room. You aren't allowed in there. But Kim's in there and she's obviously upset. I reached for the doorknob. Are you mad! Dude, she could be naked! I'm willing to take that chance, if it means she's ok.
I pushed open the door to find Kim sitting with her back to me on a bench.
"Jack, I know it's you, just come in." She said quietly " And next time, knock first. I could have been in my underwear for all you know." I laughed. At least she's happy enough to make fun of me.
"What's the matter Kim? Are you ok" I was really worried
"Yeah, I'm fine, just some family stuff now come on, lets get to practice." She sighed as she stood up.
"Wait, Kim, while you're here, if you could have anything in the world for your birthday, what would it be?"
"Well, I'd really wish that my dad could get home for my birthday, but he can't get home from work, so I'm all good with candy. But you don't have to get me anything jack, you being here's all I need." She got up, kissed my cheek and left the locker room. Oh yeah! She kissed me. And now I know what I'm doing for Kim's birthday.
Ok I'm gonna be way out of it today, just thinking about this 'plan' I guess you could call it. Well I'm not gonna be the only one out of it today or someone could figure out what I'm up to. I pulled my grey tank top over my head and left the locker room. Oh yeah! Kim is gonna be staring at my cough…perfect…cough abs so much I bet Milton could beat her in sparring. I went back into the main part of the dojo and just as I thought, Kim started staring at my abs. I casually walked over to her.
"Close your mouth Kimmy, you'll catch flies." I whispered as I shut her mouth. She started blushing madly.
"Jack! Where the hell is your shirt!" She yelled.
"Oh, you know, I got too… hot." I smirked at her face. Just then Rudy came out to start practice.
Skip to end of practice
I was right! My plan totally worked! Kim was totally out of it all practice, Jerry flipped her! Then again, he beat me too, but I was too busy thinking of Kim's birthday. At least we both beat Milton and Eddie.
Right now I was waiting for her to get ready so we could walk home, since we live on the same block. Here she is.
"Hey Jack, I see you found your shirt." She joked
"Yeah, sorry to disappoint you." That wiped the smirk off her face. It also earned me a punch in the arm and a slap to the back of my head.
"Alright, alright, no need for violence let's go?" I grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door. We just made random conversation as we walked. Just as we got to the topic of who would win in a fight; Wolverine or Aquaman (I don't own them either) I realized that we had missed her house. Laughing I walked her to her door, as usual. She gave me a hug goodbye and waved as I walked away to my house three doors down. My head was spinning. She hugged me, she kissed me. Does she like me back? Wow I've got a lot to do in the next few days.
For the next few days I was constantly on the phone to Kim's Dad's company, trying to get a hold of him. So far I had been on hold for about two out of three days. The first one I was getting through the millions of secretary's they have at those places. Also, I was trying to keep all of this a secret from Kim. I had gone to see her mom to ask her to keep her busy while I sorted everything out. I asked the guys to keep asking her to hang out so she wouldn't notice me acting different and every time she saw me I turned around. Being on hold is really annoying. Seriously you're constantly on the phone and now I can't spend time with my best friend. I hope she hasn't noticed. I hope she really likes her surprise too, I want this to be perfect.
Skip to Kim's birthday
It's Kim's birthday today. I'm so nervous. I think she's mad at me. I've been so obsessed with getting this right, I think she thinks I've been avoiding her. I just hope this makes up for it.
We were all at the dojo when Rudy came out, as planned, and yelled; "Ok, everyone out! Practice is cancelled! I have to go get bobby's head out of his tank of electric catfish so I might be gone for a while." Then he ran out of the dojo leaving everyone but Kim smiling, and her looking really confused. He wasn't going to bobby's mansion, he was going to Kim's house to help bobby, Phil, my mom, jerry's parents, grace's mom and Lucas, Julie's mom, Eddie's older sister and her mom and amber put up decorations and get her house ready for the surprise party. I know, a lot of people, but I want this to be awesome. Yeah I planned this whole thing with Kim's mom.
"Ok, then. What do you guys want to do now?" she said, flopping onto a pile of mats, and also my lap.
I silently got out my phone and sent a text to Milton telling him to call the cab that was picking up my birthday present. Suddenly some sort of weird classical music started playing. God that dude's got a problem. He looked at his phone and made some random excuse I wasn't listening to, to leave the room and make the call.
"Well, we have something to show the birthday girl." I said while poking her nose and tickling her waist. She giggled and slapped my hands lightly.
"Jack, you didn't have to do anything for my birthday, I told you that!" she cried, sitting up.
"Well, I wanted to, and I thought you deserved something better than a rigatoni necklace." I said taking her hand and pulling her to the door. "Guys?" I asked when I realized they were still here. They had jobs to do!
"Yeah jack?"
"Don't you have somewhere to be?"
They looked at each other and then said; "Ohhhh…" and sprinted out of the door. I laughed a little and pulled out one of my dad's old ties. It was special because I've shown it to her before and she knows I don't usually talk about him. It also had little gi's all over it.
"Um, I didn't have a blindfold." I admitted sheepishly as I wrapped it around her head. She giggled again as I led her out of the dojo.
"Jack, where are we going? Why do I have to wear this thing? What are we doing?" she is so cute when she's confused!
"Why do you have so many questions?" I asked her.
"Sorry but when my best friend is leading me to my possible doom, I tend to ask what's going on!"
"Oh calm down Kimmy! We're nearly there." I cried. She hit me for calling her Kimmy. "Ok, Ok we're here!" I said pulling the makeshift blindfold from her face.
She gasped.
"Oh my god jack. You didn't have to do any of this." She whispered as she saw the scene in front of her. Wow everyone had really outdone themselves. The front lawn was covered in green and white fairy lights, and there were balloons everywhere along with a giant banner on the garage door. There were huge white tables set up in the front garden and sitting around them was all of her family and friends and there, right in the middle of the table was the biggest, most amazing cake ever! It had four layers, each a different flavour and on the top, was an iced picture of the wasabi warriors at our first tournament. What can I say? Eddie is a whizz in the kitchen, we just made sure not to let Milton anywhere near that cake, or jerry for that matter.
"I know, but I wanted to." I whispered as I led her to the head of the table. "And you know I still haven't given you your present yet, right?" I smiled nervously.
"What do you?" she started but she shut up when she saw the cab pull into the driveway. "Jack? What did you…? Oh my god…" she sounded confused at first but the last few words were barely audible. The door of the cab opened to reveal a tall man with light brown, slightly messy hair wearing a loose grey shirt and dark jeans. He was carrying a large box of twizzlers and m&m's. And by large, I mean LARGE. It cost me over $60, but she's worth it. Suddenly she jumped into my arms.
"Oh my god Jack how did you do this? Why did you do this? How did You…?" she yelled but then she couldn't think of anything else to ask so she kissed me on the cheek again and buried her head in my shoulder. I chuckled.
"Well, I asked you what you wanted and this was what you said, so I literally did everything I could to get him here. This is why I've been on the phone all week, I haven't been avoiding you, I've just been trying to get you your perfect present." I said while trying to hold her up because she had now wrapped her legs around my waist like a five year old.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" she yelled while getting down.
" Well that's cool, but why don't you go and oh yeah, see your dad?" I said pointing behind her. She looked over her shoulder and squealed.
"Daddy!"
"Hey kimmy." He said picking her up. She slapped his shoulder. Wow. I guess when she said no one could call her that, she really meant no one.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" she cried. I thought I had just answered that?
"Like your friend here just said, he's been on the phone to my company all week, begging me to come home for your birthday, oh and by the way, he also mentioned something about candy." He handed her the giant box. Her eyes widened.
"Jack, when I said just get me candy, I meant like a bag of haribo or something not a giant crate!" she exclaimed, setting the box on the lawn.
"hey, I just wanted you to have the best birthday ever!" I defended.
"you got a great friend here kim, I suggest you skip the argument and hug him." Her dad whispered to her as I smirked.
She just smiled and hugged me again. While her back was turned, he gave me a thumbs up. I just blushed and wrapped my arms around her small frame again.
(End of flashback) Still Jack's P.O.V
Ever since then Kim and her dad have always been closer. He even tries to get home on her birthday every year and not once has she forgotten to thank me for it.
And, it's a fact that we can be ourselves around each other. We're best friends, we know everything about each other.
I heard the door open again.
"Ok miss, it's really time for you to leave now." The doctor was back. I wish he would just leave us alone.
"Ok, ok, just let me say goodbye to him." She got up from beside me and then added. "But don't get me wrong, I'll be here at 8am tomorrow." She leaned down close to my face and whispered; "Please wake up soon, jack. I need you." She pressed a feather light kiss to my forehead and I'm guessing she left the room, because I heard the door close and then muffled voices from behind it.
Around 20 seconds later, I could still feel my head tingling on the place her lips touched. I just wanted to reach my hand out and touch it. Suddenly I felt a hand on my head. I jumped. Wait, I jumped. Slowly I closed my hand into a fist. YES! I'm awake! I slammed the red button, that Jerry had somehow missed, that called the doctor. As I waited for someone to come in, I started thinking of Kim's song. Suddenly I had a plan, and an awesome one at that. But I need to get out of here to do it. This is gonna take some work…
A/N- And there it is! Chapter 2 of saved my life. Again I'm sorry it took so long but I'm writing other stories that I haven't uploaded yet. Anyway, R&R, tell me what you think, I take criticism but no haters, haters are just people to afraid to say what the really think so they trash other people's stuff while hiding behind a screen. Sorry rant over.
Stay classy
