Hey guys! I'm back! I'm sorry my updates are so spastic. I thought that over the summer I would have more time to update but so much happened over the summer. Once school ended, a week later I left a service trip, and then I came back and my boyfriend broke up with me (long story), and then my parents left for Italy for two weeks and I was stuck babysitting the siblings, and then cheery tryouts, and then I made the team (I'm actually captain), and I had practice every single day, and then school started. You can say I was super busy pretty much the entire summer. I'm actually procrastinating my AP World History homework to write this, so yeah. Enjoy I DON'T OWN KICKIN IT OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS

It's Not That Simple Chapter 7

Jack's POV

Eventually, the plane finally landed Tallahassee, and we were asked to get our bags from the overhead and exit the plane. I stood up from my seat and reached for my bag. Ashley stood up, and I noticed that she was shorter than I originally thought. I was 5'9 and she barely made it past 5 foot. I grabbed her bag from the overhead and handed it to her.

"Thanks," she said half- heartedly with her voice breaking a little bit. Her eyes were still red and fresh new tears were threatening to fall.

"It'll be okay, I promise," I said trying to reassure her, even though I knew that things were going to be far from okay. We waited in the long coach line to get out of the plane. I stared off into space, my mind once again going back to Kim. Tears began to form in my eyes, but Ashley tapped me on the shoulder to knock me out of it and to let me know that the line had started to move. We walked off the plane and towards the luggage carousel in silence. Both of us fearing that if we did talk, our voices would break and the tears would begin to fall once more. While waiting for my bag to appear on the carousel, I turned on my phone and quickly sent a text to Kim.

Jack: Hi baby! I miss you already. That plane ride was torturous without getting to talk to you. I just wanted to let you know that I landed safely, but I wish I was back home with you. I love you, don't ever forget it. :* (it's a kissy face)

Finally, our bags came around, and Ashley and I began to make out way to the bus that would drive us to the university. We had already found seats on the bus by the time Kim texted me back.

Kim: I love you, too, baby. It's awful without you with me, but I know we'll get through this. How was your flight?

Jack: It was pretty good, I guess. Awful knowing that every second I was on it, I was getting farther and farther away from you. I met a girl on the flight named Ashley who's going through the exact same thing we are. She said her boyfriend is going to USC.

Kim: Wow, what a coincidence. What's his name? Maybe I'll see him tomorrow when classes start.

Jack: I think his name is Connor. I'd asked, but she's in a really fragile condition, so I don't really want to start anything.

Kim: Well I know exactly what she's feeling. Maybe ask her some other time.

Jack: I definitely will, but I actually have to go now the bus just got here and I'm have to get all my stuff and unpack, but once I get my laptop set up, we're having out first long distance Skype date ;)

Kim: Okay baby. Have fun! I love you! :*

Jack: I love you, too, babe! Talk to you soon, I promise.

After talking to her, I immediately started to feel better. I quickly glanced over at Ashley, who was smiling at her phone, probably texting Connor. Just then the bus came to stop, and we were asked to get all our stuff and find our dorms. Since my granddad was paying for my dorm, he actually got me my own condo a little but off campus. It was only a block away from the bus stop, so after getting off the bus and exchanging numbers with Ashley, I walked to my condo. Most of my stuff was already shipped a couple days ago, so all that was left was organizing the place. The first thing I did was search the remaining boxes for my laptop. I immediately hooked it up and set up the network. I logged on to Skype and saw the Kim's account was online. I hit the video call button, relieved to see her beautiful voice and hear her sweet voice.

Kim's POV

The second my Skype ringtone began to play, I immediately hit the answer button. Almost instantly, Jack Brewer's face, the only one I wanted to see at the moment, appeared on my screen.

"Hi beautiful! I miss you so much already," Jack said smiling.

"Hi baby! It is so good hearing your voice. Those five hours were tortuous not being able to talk to you at all," I said, happy that I finally got to talk to him.

"I know, babe. How are you, though?"

"I'm okay I guess," I said half-heartedly. I looked away from the screen for a minute and took a deep breath. No, I'm not going to make him feel bad now. He just got there.

"Kimmy," he said getting serious.

"Don't worry about it."

"It's my job to worry about you, especially when you're 3,000 miles away from me," Jack said starting to sound upset.

"Look, Jack, I know that you're worried about me, but how many times have I told you that I can take care of myself? I know how protective you are of me and it's really sweet. Babe, I'm fine, I promise," I said looking at his eyes, well the picture that screen had of his eyes. I knew I was kind of lying to him, but it was for his own good.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you. I love you more than life itself. I just don't want to lose you or make you unhappy."

"I know babe. I understand. You have nothing to be sorry for. I love you so much."

"I wish I could just be with you right now and kiss you. I'm gonna miss your kisses."

"Hehe, and I'm gonna miss your hugs and cuddles."

"I'm just gonna miss everything about you."

"I already miss everything about you," I said with a smirk.

Ashley's POV

As soon as we got on the bus, I pulled out my phone and checked my messages. I already had a long text from Connor.

Connor: Hi there my love I miss you so much already. I know you only left a couple hours ago, and you're on your plane and won't see this immediately, but I already miss you. You are seriously my everything, and I never want to lose you. I promise we'll make this distance thing work for us. The 3000 miles that separate us, are no match for our love. (sorry for being super cheesy but I know it makes you smile). Damn, I already miss your smile. You're beautiful, and life is going to be so dull without seeing your beautiful face every day. Once you get all your stuff set up, check your email. I sent you a little something ;) Call me, text me, skype me, hell do anything just so that we can talk. I love you lots! :*

I blushed so much after reading it. He really is the perfect guy for me. He lived in LA with a bunch of his roommates, and they all were attending UCLA this year. Actually, our entire group of friends were, except me. They all tried to convince me to stay in LA with them, but after my mom died, I felt the need to live the life that she wanted to have. She was going to go Florida State to become a business major, but I happened and then a couple years ago she passed away because of some drunk douche bag crashing into her car. I always knew that life was hard for her, so I felt like I had to do what she wanted to do. As much as I would have loved to stay in LA with all my friends, I wanted to remember my mom, so becoming like her and doing what she wanted seemed like the right thing to do. Connor had been one of my best friends since we were little, and when I mean little, I mean our moms used to give us baths together. It wasn't until 7th grade that I started to discover that I liked him, a lot. I thought I would stay in the friend-zone forever, since I was his girl friend that he always asked for girl advice from, until he finally admitted that he was only doing that to make me jealous. Cliché right? I love him to death though. Leaving him was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

I noticed that Jack had been texting someone the entire bus ride to campus, his girlfriend Kim, probably. From what he's told me, she sounds super nice. I decided to text him back, since I knew that I would be busy setting up everything at the dorm.

Ashley: hi baby! You have no idea how much I miss you! Stop being so cheesy, but you're right it does make me smile. You always knew how to make me smile, no matter what mood I'm in. My favorite is when you know that I'm upset about something and then you hug me from behind and kiss me on the cheek. I already miss your kisses. I love you to the moon and back! :*

The bus finally came to a stop, and Jack and I decided to exchange numbers for later reference. I grab all my stuff, and start to navigate my way to the dorm. I only have a couple things, since my dad took the liberty to fly over her last week to move all my stuff in. I don't have a roommate, so I get the dorm all to myself. Should be fun considering I'm not exactly in the sociable mood right now. After wandering around for 20 minutes, I finally found my room. My dad had organized all the big stuff and even set up my TV and Wifi. I took my laptop out of my backpack and quickly set it up. I pulled a couple more things out of my bag and placed a picture of me and Connor next to my laptop. I opened up my email and saw that Connor had sent me a video message of some kind. I opened it up, and my screen showed him in his bedroom, behind him his bed and his desk on which you could see an identical copy of the picture on my desk.

"Hi, Ashley! It's Connor, but you already know that haha. Anyway, I made this for you today just so that you have a little piece of me with you in Florida. I miss you, but you also already know that. You also already know that I love you, so freaking much. It took me 6 years to finally tell you that, and ever since, you've been the best girlfriend and I've been the luckiest guy in the entire world. Everyone here misses you, especially Andrea. She's lost without you, just like I am. So I wanted to make this a regular thing, sending you video diaries and stuff. Maybe you could make them too? I thought it was a cute idea. Okay maybe it was JC's idea, but whatever. Anyway, I know your busy settling into college and everything so I'll leave you to it. I love you," he said ending the video before blowing a kiss. He was actually the sweetest.

I pulled out my camera and started thinking about what my video for him would be about. Maybe this distance thing wouldn't be that bad after all.

So here's the newest chapter I hope you enjoyed it. I based the character of Connor after Connor Franta, one of my favorite youtubers. So I'll try to update soon, no promises though. I'm sorry but please don't lose hope in me. I'm gonna try my hardest to update, and this time I'm dead serious.

Remember, there's always enough Kivielove to go around! xxx
