A/N: Hi, this is chapter three of Girl in the Flight. Warning, there is a mention of abuse but no written scenes of it. This chapter is sad and you may get a little emotional depending on how emotional you are though (no offense). This is part one of this chapter: You can tell me. Please review, i love the reviews you send me. This chapter is longer so i hope you like it. Please send in a review of how big the word count should be for each chapter so i can make it longer.
The most voted number (has to be in the thousands eg. 2000, 3000) will be the word count for each chapter. When i write a chapter i cant get the word count bang on but ill try my best.
Enough of my rambling, I'm actually getting sick of it myself and I know you are so enjoy and review. Short authors note at the end of this chapter.
Kim's Pov
Jack and I woke up at 8 because we were going to the beach with Jacks mom today so we decided to ask Lucy if she wanted to come. The both of us walked across the second floor to a door that was covered in last years pictures of 'Justin Bieber'. Lucy really needs an update on her door, and this time, something no where near related to JB. Last time we came to Miami (before the plane crash) she had decorated the door. Right now we are staying at Jack's grandfather's mansion.
"Do you want to knock?" Jack asked me.
"Sure" I replied.
I knocked on the door, waited a few, but no reply.
"Jack?" I looked at him, wondering if he knew what she was doing in there.
Jack sighed and was about to open her door and walk into her room when stopped him.
"Jack, don't you think it's a little more polite to wait out side her room and also, she's a girl. Last time I checked, boys are not supposed to walk into a girls room without waiting for them to answer"
"Don't worry, I've been doing this for years, she doesn't have a problem with it"
"Are you sure? I mean, she could have been changing in there"
"Well today she is not, she's sleeping"
"How do you know, does she normally sleep till 8:30? Rephrase, when does she usually wake up?"
"Let's just say her wake up time is not at breakfast time, it's more and like 1:00 o'clock"
"What like in the morning or-"
"Pm"
"Come, let's wake her up and see if she wants to come, and next time Jack, though she's alright with it (which I don't believe) don't walk straight into her room"
"Okay mommy" Jack replied sarcastically in a babyish tone.
For that I gave him a punch on his stomache, a really hard one I must say but I know it didn't hurt him enough for him to stop his silliness.
"Oww Kim, that hurt, maybe a kiss would make it b-"
I cut him off by grabbing his shirt and kissing him. Not because I wanted to, because I had to. If I didn't, he would go on and on and on and on and o- basically you get the point. But I did kinda wanna kiss him, don't tell anyone I said that.
"There, you got your kiss, what now do you want?"
"Maybe for you to be my gir-"
"Jack, I was being sarcastic, did you not get the clue? Airhead"
The last part (airhead) I mumbled ever so quietly.
"Air what?"
But not quiet enough.
"Err, hehe, nothing"
"Hi guys" Lucy greeted standing next to us with a pillow in her hand. Her unknown appearance made me scream because I thought she was a ninja even though she wasn't wearing black. I stumbled back into Jack's arms, almost falling down in the process.
"Woah Kim, what scared you so much that you had to fall into Jack's arms, are you two even boyfriend and girlfriend?" Lucy asked.
"No" I replied, pulling myself up from Jack's arms with the help of him.
"What do you mean Kim?"
I avoided eye contact with Jack because it would have made this a lot more awkward so I looked down at the ground. Out of the corner of my eye though, I could see Lucy leaning her head a little to the right, signalling that she was confused.
"I mean that kiss we had on the plane, it was nothing"
"Again, I ask, what do you mean Kim?"
This time I looked up at jack, took a deep breath and began.
"I had mixed emotions, on planes I get very uncomfortable, fearing that something will happen but that kiss... Jack, I couldn't think straight. Don't you think that it is a little easy for me to give in to you and say that I love you. If I wasn't so messed up, right now you would not know that I love you. And that little random outburst of mine about Lucy, don't you think that was a little weird for me to do. Me, falling asleep during the day, that's beyond normal for me, huh?"
"So for the whole of this time you had me believing that kiss we shared yesterday was something when really, it was nothing"
"No, w-well yes, but-"
"No buts Kim, you did your role. I actually thought you loved me-"
"I do"
"Then why did that kiss mean nothing?"
"I, I just can't okay, I just can't"
My eyes grew watery and a tear dropped down my face. I turned my face away from Jack and wiped the tear away.
"You just can't what"
"I just can't, I just can't fall in love again"
A few more tears dropped down my face.
"Why?" Jack questioned, more concerned then angry.
"Because, I-I, I just can't"
After that I ran downstairs, leaving Jack and Lucy alone. On the way to the garden, Jack's mom saw me crying, pulled me back by the arm and gave me a big comforting hug.
"Kim, darling, what's wrong, why are you crying"
"I-Im sorry, I can't tell"
"That's okay but just to let you know, whenever you need a mom, just think as me as your second one, I will always be there for you if there is something wrong"
"Thank you, you just said something my mom would never say"
"Your welcome, do you want some breakfast?"
"No thanks, I can't really eat when I am stressed, sorry"
Jacks mom pulled away from the hug.
"There's no need to apologise Kim"
She gave me another hug.
"I'll be in the garden"
"Okay honey"
I gave her a small smile and went to the swing chair in the garden. I reminisced on what had just happen with me and Jack and I felt a small tear fall down my face again.
Jack's Pov
"Okay, what just happened?" I questioned Lucy.
"Well, basically, Kim just told you that kiss on the plane was nothing, you freaked the freak out, Kim told you-"
"I know what happened"
"Then why did you ask?"
"Everybody says that when something unbelievable happens"
Lucy and I had a silent moment, her fiddling with her phone in one hand with her pillow in the other, still dressed in PJ's. And I, standing, with both my hands in my back pocket.
"Well, what are you waiting f-" Lucy began.
"JACK, WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?" Yelled my mom, walking up the stairs with an angry expression on her face.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"That's what I asked, again I ask what did you do"
"I didn't do anything"
"Well then explain why Kim is crying?" mom question putting both hands on her hips.
"Ohhhhh"
In the corner of my eye I could see Lucy laughing silently.
"Hahaha, Jack, moms really getting on ya, ahhhhhh, this is just too good to miss"
"Lucy, room, now"
"Fine" Lucy sighed
"This is still too good to miss, I'll be secretly listening"
"No you won't" mom ended.
"Make me"
"Lucy, don't you get all lippy on me or you will be banned from going to the beach today and any activities were having tomorrow"
"Wait, we're going to the beach?" Lucy asked.
"We will be once you go in your room and I sort things out"
"But I don't wanna go in my room"
"Fine, why don't you go downstairs and watch tv, see Kim, anything"
"Thank you"
"Wait Lucy, give mama a kiss"
I busted out in a fit of laughter that I could hardly breath. As I was laughing, I noticed Lucy and mom looking at me.
"Carry on" I stopped laughing instantly when I saw their faces.
"Mom, I'm not 6 any more, I'm 14"
"I know that, just give mama a kiss, I haven't seen you in a year"
"Okay"
Lucy gave mom a big kiss and ran off downstairs in pjs still with her pillow and phone.
"Now Jack, you know what I'm going to ask you so answer"
Kim's Pov
After sitting down on the swing chair for 15 minutes, I began to talk to myself. Not that I'm crazy, it just made me feel better, I didn't feel alone. This is how my talk went.
"Hi Kim, this is Kim, you know you can trust Jack, don't be afraid of taking another chance in love, just because your last love made you crumble into tiny pieces.
But what if it happens again?
Do you really think Jack would do that to you. Your like his best friend.
You never know"
But I was interrupted when I heard a kind caring voice calling my name.
"Kim, do you mind if I come and sit with you?"
I turned and saw Lucy standing next to me.
"Sure" I answered.
"So, Kim, I know this may not be any of my business but what happened with your last love?" Lucy questioned"
"Okay, I know I can trust you even though I may not have known you for long but, my last boyfriend, he was kind, adorable, fit, exactly like Jack but then one day I wasn't in school because I was sick. He came to check on me after school but my old boyfriend, Jason was already there. My mom let him in and he saw Jason and I laughing and falling on top of each other. He got the wrong impression and said I was going to pay. Ever since then he has been abusing me and I would spend every morning before school covering up the bruises, only was it a week ago he left for England, now I'm bruise free but I fear that it will happen again"
"Oh, Kim, I am so sorry"
"You don't have to be"
"When are you going to tell Jack"
"When the time is right, maybe at the beach later on"
"Talking about the beach, hurry up, we need to go now and gather our stuff before we loose our spot on the beach"
I smile while Lucy stood up and held out her hand.
"Well come on then" she told me dragging me through the garden.
I laughed at her instant freak out and while we were going up stairs I met Jack and his mom. As I was going past him I said
"I'll talk to you later" then smiled. He smiled back too. I felt a whole lot better.
A/N: The next chapter is going to be the beach. Remember to review and add in your review how much you want the word count to be for each chapter.
