Hey guys! Thanks for your reviews! Let's try to make it to 90 with this one alright? I challenge you! Anyway this has more of Jake and Kim bonding. Enjoy!;)
"Never take a person for granted. Hold every person close to your heart. 'Cause one day you might wake up and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.-
-"
Kim was currently at the Seaford Hospital sitting in the waiting room, her foot tapped on the floor impatiently as her brown eyes nervously scanned over the waiting room again, she had been doing this for thirty minutes. The waiting room looked like any other hospital's waiting room. The walls were plain white but a few colorful paintings were hung up and there comfortable couch-like chairs place around on the hard blue carpet. They tried to make it feel like home, but failed miserably hospitals could never feel like home especially when three of your friends are in the hospital for unknown reasons.
The blonde had been sitting by herself bored out of her mind a few boys looking her age had tried to flirt with her earlier, but she politely asked them to leave, feeling too nervous to deal with the big flirts and she didn't even go for flirts. When she had first showed up to the hospital thirty minutes ago she ran up to the desk and asked the lady about seeing Jerry, Kelsey, and even Jake, but the secretary told her she had no news about them yet. This broke all hope Kim had but she stayed strong just hoping they were okay but was very impatient on to knowing who would hurt them.
A doctor then walked into the waiting room, he looked down at his clipboard. He looked back up calling out, "Kim Crawford here?"
Kim immediately stood up and ran over hearing the sound of her name.
"Yes, doctor?"
The doctor looked down on her edging on a small smile. "I am Doctor Robins. Who would you like to see first?"
Kim smiled at the doctor's kind voice and said, "Nice, to meet you Doctor Robins. I would like to see, Jake." She was very surprised with herself that being the name popping out of her mouth since she wasn't exactly too comfortable with him but the blonde wanted answers and she knew he would give them to her.
Doctor Robins nodded. "Right this way."
He led her out of the waiting room down the hall and opened the door to room 201. "There's a visitor for you Mr. Grey."
Kim could hear from behind the door Jake's hoarse voice call out, "Let'me in."
Doctor Robins opened up the door wider letting the blonde walk in before he gently closed it shut. Kim walked up and sat down on the side of the bed looking at Jake's condition. He was lying on the hospital bed with a bruised bare chest and his right leg hanging up in a cast.
"So, do you know how Jerry or Kelsey are doing yet?" Jake asked curiously shifting into a comfortable position on the bed.
Kim shook her head."Nope. I decided to visit you first."
Jake raised his eyebrows. "Really?"
"Yeah, surprised?" Kim asked giving him a challenging look.
Jake shook his head. "No. I just didn't think we were on a friendly level yet."
Kim stated crossing her arms over her chest. "We aren't, but I know you'll give me actual answers unlike the phone call I got from Jerry where he just hung up on me." The blonde huffed irritably.
Jake chuckled, "Yeah he sort of just grabbed the phone out of my hands."
Kim asked curiously, ignoring Jake's remark, "So what happened?"
Jake sighed heavily looking away from the blonde as he thought back to the horrible event that occurred in the beautiful scenery earlier and the threatening words that came with it...
Ahhh!
Jake heard a sudden scream screech throughout the air surrounding him as the wind blew rapidly, causing the leaves to rustles, as it blew through whistling. He quickly turned around in terror seeing Kelsey firmly wrapped in the arms of a Black Warrior who had a pocket knife settled on her neck.
Kelsey looked terrified with her big brown eyes bugling out of her sockets and her skin turning pale as snow as the blood quickly left her face. She could feel her heart beating rapidly as her breathing quickened feeling the ninja grip her more tightly as Jake went into a martial arts stance.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Bullet " The Black Warrior sneered teasingly bringing the pocket knife deeper into her skin.
Jake's green eyes widened getting the message, he hesitantly came out of his stance, watching cautiously for any sudden movements coming from the Warrior. He slowly backed away, letting his tense body relax breathing deeply, inhaling and exhaling slowly. Shutting his eyes he let the winds whistling envelope him and relax him. He slowly opened them back up and starred blankly at the Black Warrior before him who was still griping Kelsey's slim body tightly with the pocket knife death-gripped against her neck. His green eyes wondered away from the sight onto a startled looking Jerry, sitting at the left of the stream. The Latino boy was shaking...violently, his eyes bulging out of his sockets in shock and horror. Jake shook his head at the boy thinking, 'This scene will probably traumatized him for the rest of his life.'
"So, Jake are you going to make a stupid move yet to save your little friend? I can do this all day, ya'know." The Black Warrior sneered threateningly in the silence.
Jake knew the warrior was trying to challenge him to something he would wound up losing to. The teen fighter might have been pretty naive back when he was eleven, but during the three years he learned many things, and one of them was to never accept a challenge from a Black Warrior.
EVER.
Jake chuckled, "Please! I am not as naive as I use to be! What do you want anyway?" He glared deathly at the warrior.
"I'm here to give you a lovely message sent from 'Father.' " The Black Warrior answered letting a slight chuckle escape his lips.
Jake laughed half-heartedly, "Hahaha, you're real funny a lovely message? You know what? Whatever just give it to me."
The Black Warrior smirked behind his mask and replied snidely,"Whatever you say...Bullet."
Jake's body then tensed up as he slightly paled at the sound of the Black Warrior's voice repeated through his head along with the same words.
Whatever you say Bullet.
Whatever you s-
Jake was then blown out of his thoughts by a force smacking against him on , impact he fell on the ground the grass blades scratching against his skin. He looked in shock to find himself tackled on the ground by a different Black Warrior who was much bigger than the other one who was still holding Kelsey in a death grip.
The Black Warrior griped his hands tightly onto Jake's and pulled him up off the ground as he stood up. Jake who was getting really annoyed with their stupid games swung his fist, but the Black Warrior caught it immediately throwing the teenage boy into a tree.
Jake felt as if a truck just hit him as his back impacted a with the tree, along with his head. His head started to throb painfully, feeling like he had the worst headache ever he groaned loudly in pain scrunching his eye's closed hoping to make the pain all go away. He felt himself being lifted up by the collar of his undershirt but made no movement whatsoever to stop the force, for his whole body ached from the sudden tackle and impact against the tree.
"Open your eyes!" Snapped an; irritated voice.
Jake's eyes immediately snapped open revealing his sparkling green eyes. He starred into the brown eyes of the Black Warrior, they looked so cold...so dark, but also seemed, so lonely, so lost. He quickly shook his bangs out of his eyes and turned his expression from in-pain to a look that says 'you-can't-beat-me.'
Jake kicked up his leg to kick the Warriors chin, in the process of jumping to hopefully do a back flip and land, but the ninja caught his foot instead. "Listen; kid! I'm not here to fight just to give you a message!"
Jake hissed his green eyes flaring up, "So, you had to tackle me to the ground in order to! You just had to traumatize and threaten my friends' lives too!"
The Black Warrior let out a laugh. "Hey! I wanted to have some fun! Ya'know?"
Jake eyes narrowed at the ninja quizzically. His voice seemed so familiar...so did that sentence like he heard it before, that's when it dawned on him. He's green eyes widened in realization as an expression of surprise dawned on his face but quickly vanished to an angry glare. "Just like, you did with Roxy!" Jake snapped his eyes narrowing threateningly.
The Black Warrior laughed, "You won't ever let that go will you Bullet?"
"Why should I? You! You would've hurt her if i hadn't caught you! And what are you doing here anyway! I thought 'Father' banished you from the Black Warriors once I told him how you tried to hurt Roxy!"
"Yeah, but you see Bullet, when Blackstar left 'Father' put me back in the game, but of course it was a secret from you...until now." The ninja chuckled evilly at the boy's horrified expression.
"No. No. You...please Thrash don't hurt Roxy! Please don't touch her!" Jake cried out tears threatening to spill out of his eyes at the horrible memories flashing, through his troubled mind.
The Black Warrior let out a loud laugh. "I can't promise anything!"
He then stopped talking for a moment looking like he was contemplating his words, but finally spoke, "Oh...and the message is, is to watch your back this week, especially at the Pep Rally. 'Cause now the Black Warriors are officially back in, business."
Jake opened his mouth to respond but was instantly punched in the face and flipped backwards over the Warrior. He cried out in pain feeling his leg break, landing in the wrong position as he impacted with the ground. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was the Black Warrior who held Kelsey knocking her and Jerry out then running past him deeper into the woods following the footsteps of Thrash.
"Hello..."
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
"JAKE!"
Jake jumped a little startled by Kim's frantic voice he turned his head to look at her. The blonde sighed in exhaustion letting her brown eyes shut for a moment before reopening them. Being at the hospital in the middle of the night wasn't the greatest.
Jake stuttered out, "Uh...sorry uh...Kim I was sort of in my own little world."
"Yeah 'cause I couldn't tell at all!" The blonde exclaimed sarcastically rolling eyes. "So what did happen?" Kim inquired curiously cocking an eyebrow as she shifted on the side of the hospital bed into a more comforting position.
Jake looked into her big brown eyes for a moment before sighing heavily. "I found Kelsey and Jerry talking in the woods behind the mall, then out of nowhere we got attacked by a few Black Warriors."
Kim raised her eyebrows. "That's it?"
"Pretty, much." Jake said simply, fixing his eyes anywhere but Kim's.
"So, how did you guys get to the hospital?" Kim asked quizzically, her eyebrows scrunching up.
Jake stated simply, "Some, family found us when they were trying to look for a spot for to camp and they called the ambulance to just pick us up. I actually just woke up."
Kim nodded not knowing what to say anymore as an awkward silence was placed between her and the boy.
Jake spoke up hesitantly, "So, where's Roxy?"
Kim watched as a little sparkle appeared in his green eyes when Roxy's name came out of his mouth. The blonde shook her head and said sadly with a tired sigh, "She's too busy flirting with Jack." A bitter edge appeared in her voice almost like she was sneering at the injured teen boy lying before her.
She watched the sparkle in Jake's eye disappear and his face fell like he was just told his puppy died. Kim was confused for a moment before it all clicked, the stupid arguments and teasing.
'Jake likes Roxy.'Kim thought smugly smiling and glancing down at Jake. The teenager caught her smug look, raising his eyebrows he asked, "What?" His hoarse voice croaking in curiosity.
Kim flipped her blonde locks responding smugly, "You like-likeRoxy!"
Jake's face immediately went red as he tried to casually turn away from the smug blonde but failed miserably just making it more obvious and awkward.
"Omg! You do I want to get you two together! Oh I can imagine it now! Late night picnics. Fireworks when you kiss! Oh...and defiantly ROMANTIC Scenery!" Kim squealed excitedly with a big bright smile.
The blonde then droned on and on about Jake and Roxy having a magical fairytale like they were going to be in Kim's own little Disney Channel Movie. Jake's head throbbed painful as Kim's excited words bounced off the walls internally knocking him over with each blow to his ear as the girl chattered on and on.
"Oh my, gosh I can hear wedding bells already Jake! I'll be the bridesmaid of course! Jack will be the best man. And-"
The blonde was suddenly cut off by Jake bursting out, "Kim! Would you stop and think about what you're saying for a second jeez!" His eyes bulged out for a second but he closed them and inhaled and exhaled breathing deeply hoping to rid of the throbbing headache.
Kim was a taken back by his sudden outburst and snapped, "Excuse, me! I'm actually going to try and help you bu-"
Jake snapped furiously as his green eyes suddenly snapped open from their recent relaxed mode. "That's nice and all of you Kim! But you forgot one flaw in me and Roxy's fairytale!"
Kim snorted giving the boy a bewilder look, "Oh, really? What's that?"
"I LOVE BLACKSTAR!"
The room went silent.
Jake looked into the blonde's cold eyes guilty he couldn't believe what he just said. Of course he did like her a lot. But love? Isn't that for after college and you met the person you want to be with forever? Is there really still such a thing of high school sweethearts anymore in, the messed up generation they are living in today? No.There wasn't Jake could never believe that. He knew that after this whole game...this whole battle is over he needs to make things right, not only for himself, not only for Roxy, not only for the world, but for his new friends the Wasabi Warriors and he knew this needed to be now. Starting with, Kim Crawford and this exact moment is the only time he'll actually be alone with her. He needed to do this now. He knew it.
Jake looked up at the blonde, she looked worn out, tired, exhausted, but she also seemed so sad, like something just knocked her in the heart.
The boy hesitated before speaking up, "Uh...look Kim disregard what I said a minute ago, okay? My head was throbbing and I barely know what I'm saying. It always happens when I'm worn out." Jake waited for the blonde's reaction cautiously.
Kim scratched her head before saying quietly, "It's okay, I get it and sorry if my whole fairy tale of you and Roxy was so...unbelievable. I-If you guys ended up together it would just give me hope, ya'know? I guess you can call me a hopeless romantic." Kim shrugged carelessly.
Jake chuckled, "Well...you're not the only one and don't worry the skater boy will come around. Trust me."
Kim's head suddenly perked up. "I never said it was Jack."
Jake smirked smugly, "I never said it was Jack either." He gave her a smug look raising his eyebrows a bit.
The blonde huffed while, muttering irritably, "Shut up."
"Jeez, Kim! Calm down! Your little crush is safe with me!" Jake laughed much harder than before causing him to start coughing a lot his voice sounding so hoarse.
Kim being her alert self quickly moved from her position on the hospital bed to standing on the side by Jake, she quickly lifted him a bit up from the bed and started to hit the hell out of his back, hoping to help get the cough out.
Jake finally calmed down; gesturing for Kim to stop beating on his back like a drum and the blonde followed cautiously sitting back on the bed.
The room was silent except for the awkward feeling of Jake's heavy panting from all the coughing and his hoarse voice coming out in bits of pieces. Kim just stared at him with her big brown eyes taking in the beating he took. She could tell by the scratches she had seen on his back that he must have been thrown around like a ragdoll. There were a few bruises; one by his noise and one at the bottom of his left cheek, he also had a scratch on the side of his forehead that was poking out from behind his bangs that were drenching with sweat. His chest was also pretty beat up with a few little bruises but other than those it was pretty clean of any major scarring or injuries. The thing, the blonde felt the most horrible about though was his broken leg.
'How would he defend himself, anymore?'
"I'm sorry." Kim blurted out suddenly as she looked overall his injuries.
Jake looked a take back but asked, "What? Why?"
Kim shook her head and said softly as she stroked his bangs out of his face revealing a long, red scratch mark. "For not, being there to help you and for not trusting you. For not, giving you a chance, Jake. I shouldn't have just shut you out! I-I was just-just..."
"Scared?" Jake finished for the blonde girl.
Kim's eyes fell to the floor but traveled back up finding Jake's. "It's hard for me to admit but yeah. I just-just don't know how I could trust you? I mean the way Jack's been acting, I don't even know if I can trust him anymore." The blonde girl sighed heavily letting her blonde bangs fall against her forehead, covering a bit of her right eye.
Even though, at the moment every muscle in his body was aching, Jake slowly stretched out his right arm and gripped Kim's hand gently ignoring the throbbing pain. Kim looked at him curiously not so sure what he met by this gesture. Jake looked into her big brown eyes and whispered quietly, "You can trust me, Kim okay? I just want you to know I'm no longer the bad guy anymore." He slowly pulled away gently shifting his arm in the comfortable position it had been in. "But I won't blame you if you never do or can. It's my fault anyway." Jake sighed heavily letting his eyes travel away from Kim's to the sheet covering his body up.
Kim opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by a knock at the door. The two teens moved their heads in the direction of the hospital room door, the doctor had his head poked in smiling a bit. "Uh...Ms. Crawford do you want to see Jerry now? He's wondering about a Jack and uh...Roxy?"
Kim put on a fake small smile and said, "Alright, I'll be on my way."
The doctor nodded mouthing 'thank you'and gently shut the door leaving on his way to do his duties. Kim sighed exhaustion and boredom expressed, she got up from the bed and walked away from Jake, just when she was about to turn the doorknob, Jake's hoarse voice spoke up.
"Can we at least try to be friends?"
Kim looked his way, he had a look of hopefulness on his face, but there was pleading in his eyes. A sheepish grin plastered on his face, but you could tell it was broken. The blonde thought for, a moment contemplating her answer; she was already confused and having trust issues because of him and just everything going on. Did she really want to add him to her package, to her friends on, Facebook? No. She didn't. If it was Jack, Roxy or anybody else she wouldn't even give them a second glance, but something was different about Jake. Maybe, it was because his crush was spending more time with hers a lot lately...unfortunately. Or maybe it was the fact he wasn't like every teenage boy you met. He grew up basically in a jail cell his whole life not only fighting for his life but for Blackstar's. He's been fighting for acceptance, respect, friendship, and most importantly love and now he was not only fighting for not only herself but for all the kids in San Jose. He deserved a chance, because he never did really have one.
After, about five minutes of the blonde contemplating over her answer to what was usually such a simple question. She finally decided. "I'll think about it." Not waiting for the injured teen's reaction to her so vague answer she quickly turned the doorknob and left the hospital room on her way to track down Jerry's room.
Jack and Roxy were casually walking down one of Seaford High's hallways, by each other in a pretty comfortable silence, well except for the chatter among their other peers who were scattered throughout the hallway waiting for the warning bell for home room to ring. Roxy looked at Jack who smiled brightly at some dude in their English Class giving him a high-five as he walked past him. Roxy smiled at the brunette a bit, before looking straight ahead again and weaving around a Sophmore who was caring a science project. Right, now the tomboy who usually didn't show too much of happiness but more of anger was smiling brightly, but she just couldn't help it. For the past few days filling Jack in on-well her whole life, especially last night at the Dojo the weight of the world just seemed to have lifted off her shoulders. Sadly, she knew when happiness came around her misfortune was soon to follow behind, because that was just her luck.
Bad luck.
She didn't care at the moment though, she was happy for once that she had a friend who knew everything. Sure, Jake knew everything. God, he was like her freak'in brother which is weird to think that way when they sort of had a friend's with benefits relationship; that Roxy could shamefully admit to. But Jack wasn't a love interest which just seemed to make everything in Roxy's blue eyes simpler in her life-well as messed up as it is.
As the wavy-haired, blonde walked along side her martial artist friend she abruptly stopped walking and stared straight ahead down the hall, her piercing blue eyes narrowed. She wasn't sure if she was imagining these two figures of teens that we're walking down the hall in her and Jack's direction.
A hand waved in front of her eyes, she noticed it was Jack who was looking at her slightly confused by her sudden actions. "You okay, Roxy?" He asked sympathetically with concern present in his chocolate brown eyes.
Roxy shook her head a little before gently rustling her long, blonde waves as she ran her fingers through the locks. "Um...Jack am I seeing things? Or is Jake on crutches with his right leg in a cast and Kim walking beside him and coming in are direction down the hall?" She pointed her finger down the hall and Jack turned his head narrowing his eyes.
There was Jake on crutches limping at each step, he had a cast on his right leg and he was talking to Kim who was walking beside him, who was carrying a load of books in her hands. For, some reason this scene caused jealousy to boil inside the young boy's heart but he ignored it. "You're not imaging anything Roxy. I see it too."
The two teens then looked at each and ran down the hall, stopping in front of Jake and Kim who were surprised by their friends' sudden presence. Once, Roxy caught her breath she looked Jake up and down for moment before spitting out, "Jake! What the hell happened to you?"
"Woah, Roxy! Calm down." He backed up a bit on his crutches. "Just let me get to my locker we can talk about this later." Jake said politely and tried to move around the petite girl.
Roxy crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Jake. "No. Not until you tell me what happened." As she moved in front of him blocking his path.
He rolled his green eyes and pouted a bit before responding, "Look, Roxy. If you really did care you would've been there at the hospital last night instead of flirting with pretty boy over, here. "Jake retorted snidely, cocking his head in the direction of Jack who was standing there with a really confused face.
Roxy shook her head letting her eyes look back and forth from Kim who was giving her a disapproving look and Jake who just looked hurt...well more than he did already. "What are you talking about I wasn't even with Jack last night I was at home helping my Dad put in the ca-"
"Oh, yeah just like Jack had family staying over. Please, cut the crud Roxy I saw both of you in the Dojo having a little study date last night at like ten." Kim snapped harshly cutting the tomboy off from making her excuse.
Roxy said quietly as her eyes traveled down to her black Nike's, "We weren't on a date and we weren't flirting. "
"Oh, right just, like you were at your Dad's last night." Kim mocked sarcastically, rolling her deep brown eyes. "What? Will you be at, your Mom's house tomorrow; knitting sweaters?"
Jack spoke up a bit harshly, "Just shut up, Kim."
Kim was a taken back along with Jake and Roxy who were surprised by Jack's sudden outburst. "Why should I, Anderson? I'm the one who should be telling you to shut up! You! You lied to me! Did you know how much it hurt to walk to the Dojo and find my best friend flirting with...with some girl off the streets!" Kim snapped harshly as she tried her best to not let tears spill down her cheeks.
"Is that what I am to you? Some, girl off the streets? Roxy asked outraged at by her new nickname.
Kim shrugged. "Well, yeah you never let me get to know you or anything! I mean you fight like a street fighter and—"
Roxy cut her off snapping, "You don't need to know me Kim! And trust me you don't want too!"
Kim snapped right back, "You know what! I am sick of not being clueless! I know you three are hiding something!"
Roxy was about to speak up, but Kim stopped her by slapping a hand over her mouth. "And I am done with being patient with you guys to tell me the big secret! So tell me right now!" The blonde demanded.
Jack, Roxy and Jake just caught glances of each other. It was dead silent no one said a word, this being exactly what Kim expected of them.
"Jake?" Kim asked, her brown eyes pleading for information, for the truth.Jake just let his head fall looking at the floor, he was silent. The blonde huffed irritably and gripped his chin roughly, bringing his head up making their eyes met. "You've got nothing to say. Nothing at, all?" Kim asked defiantly, her brown eyes quivered a bit.
Jake just stared into her eyes. He felt ashamed, guilty. He knew this girl was thinking about giving him a real chance at friendship with her and if he kept silent it would probably just screw it up. At this point though he knew friendship didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was keeping these Wasabi Warriors safe and if they had to break a few friendships on the way to do this...so be it.
Kim finding Jake just staring at her blankly in the uncomfortable silence, she dropped her hand from his chin. She turned away for a moment before turning back towards the teenage boy, hurt and regret in her brown eyes. She snapped out viciously glaring deathly, "I can't believe I was going to accept a friendship with you! Do you remember our conversation at all from last night when I went to the hospital!" Jake just kept staring at her not saying a single word, knowing it was for the better.
"Ugh! Forget us ever being friends!" Kim snapped.
She suddenly felt a tug from the back of her shirt. She turned around facing Roxy. Giving one of her oh-so-famousdeath glares she spat out, "What!"
"Kim! Don't throw away a friendship because of my problems...my secrets!" Roxy exclaimed her blue eyes quivered a bit. "Please." Roxy begged quietly, as her eyes pleaded.
Kim shook her head. "No. First of all Roxy you might be better at lying than I am but I know you've been lieing this whole time!"
Roxy retorted offended, "Oh, really how would you know this? You don't even know me. She let her head fall quietly adding in. "No, one does."
Jake and Jack exchanged sympathetic looks for their friend who was getting chewed out by Kim.
"Well is that my fault?" Kim asked sarcastically. Roxy was silent letting a tear slip down her cheek.
"Kim just; stop." Jack said stepping up closer to the blonde holding his head up high.
"What's with you and defending her? I mean if you guys are secretly dating that's fine, but you don't need to hide it!"Kim snapped back getting in the brunette's face.
Jack said smirking a bit cockily, completely ignoring the blonde's question. "Just being a good friend you should try it sometime, Crawford."
Jake raised his eyebrows at this he had never seen the two lovebirds fight like this. Kim looks like she's about to tear Jack apart and Jack looks slightly amused by the blonde's temper, but he knew it was all an act he knew Jack felt horrible on the inside.
"Me? Are you kidding me you freak'in lied to me Jack, just to hang out with Roxy!" Kim retorted harshly.
Jack said sincerely taking Kim's right hand and started to play with her fingers around with his, "Yeah, and I'm sorry. You know I'm sorry Kim."
Kim whipped her hand away from the brunette's violently and shook her head in a displeasing manor. "No. You aren't. I don't know what you two are hiding. Or whatever it is but I'm going to find out sooner or later."
The blonde turned towards Jake and stated, "You're going to have to find someone else to help you up and down the stairs with your books." She dropped the textbooks she had been carrying on the hallway floor with a thud.
She then turned towards Roxy and said sarcastically, "Goodbye, Roxy you were the best girlfriend ever! Have fun being an outcast like the rest of us." Kim turned away but then looked back looking into Roxy's watery eyes. "You know Roxy when you came here I actually looked up to you. You were so confident and fierce. But now I know you're just some girl off the streets with a single dad trying to make it through life one lie at a time. I guess they are right about one thing. You never know someone until they hurt you."
She then stomped off in her purple converse sneakers but stopped for a second as something dawned on her. Kim turned back around and faced Jack who looked very guilty, regretful, angry, and hurt all at the same time.
She inhaled and exhaled deeply before whispering quietly in his ear. "You know that day when you said, I had a crush on you." Jack nodded. Kim continued, "Well, I did…but, not anymore." She then stomped off in her purple converse with her head held high and pride showing in her brown eyes, leaving a very hurt Roxy, lonely Jake and shocked Jack to deal with whatever they had to hide. Kim was still determined to find out what was going on though, and she was going to find out no matter what.
So...Kim left the three behind feeling hurt that they didn't trust her. Will she ever figure out the truth? What happened with Kelsey and Jerry? Will Roxy's secret soon tear apart more friendships? Who is Thrash and what did he do to Roxy? Will Roxy be revealed?
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I didn't really liked how I ended it though. Did you?
