Jack's POV

I have to ask Kim today about the song. Jerry was no help at all. He kept asking questions about why I care about this in the first place. I told him that I really do have a crush on Kim. He and the other guys owe Rudy, our sensei, and each $20 for thinking that I didn't have a crush on Kim when I really did. I see Kim come into the school with her head down. I go over to her.

"Give me my book back, now" she said.

"Only if you tell me what the propose of writing that song is about." I said. Kim took him by the wrist and dragged him to an empty classroom.

"Which song?" she asked.

"Concrete angel" I told her.

"I get abused at home by my dad and with you bulling me here at school; it just gets worst everyday with the bruises and the cuts. He gets more violent every time." She said.

"Kim, I had no idea that is what happen." I said.

"I just can't believe that you didn't remember me when I moved back here at the beginning of 9th grade." Kim said.

"I remembered you alright, it's just my family has been having some money problems. Mom got cancer when I was in 8th grade. Dating Donna, she is helping me with the money. Mom doesn't know about it though and she can't know." I told her.

"OMG! I am so sorry Jack. What about your father?" she.

"He left us when he found out. He is somewhere in New York with a woman in her early twenties." I told her.

"Then he's a jerk. My mother also died while we were living in Tennessee. She too had cancer. Dad hits me and tells me it's my fault that she got cancer and died. Austin, my older brother, is the only one that doesn't hurt me," she told me, she had went over to the window and looked up at the sky.

"Do you think that my mom is up there looking over us now?" Kim asked him.

"If she is, she's probably looking over her beautiful daughter and is going to go to my mom down here on earth and tell her what I have been doing to you." I said.

"Did you just call me beautiful?" Kim turned around and asked.

"Yeah. If I could I would break up with Donna and ask you to be my girlfriend, but if I did that then my mom won't get the treatment that she needs." I told her.

"We could secretly date. No one has to know about us. We could hang out after school and talk to each other at night when I am home alone," Kim said pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah but I have karate after school," I said.

"Oh." Kim said disappointedly.

"Well are you any good at karate?" I asked.

"2nd degree black belt," she said.

"What? Why don't you join the dojo then?" I said as they left the room and headed to the local strip mall in Seaford.

"Because my dad doesn't like me doing karate. I was going to sign up for the local dojo here in the mall but when I told my dad about it he got really pissed. He slapped me so hard that it left a bruise on my face for about 2 weeks, but that was when it was summer time and no one knew about it. Jack, no one can know about my dad. If someone does then I could go to foster care and never see you again. I don't want to leave you," Kim said.

"That is never going to happen, I will always protect you no matter what situation you are in. If you do have to go to foster, then I will beg my mom to adopt you. You are never going to leave me," I said pulling her into his side.

"Thanks Jack. You are beginning to be a new person," Kim said.

"I never wanted to be that person that bullies people. I want to be the kind that can hang out with his friends and just be able to stop the bullies not be the bully," I said. By the time I said that we were at our third class of the day. Then again it was study hall. Nobody was there except for my friends. Kim knew them, but they didn't know her besides the girl that I bullied.

"Hey guys! Do you know Kim?" I asked.

"No," Eddie said.

"Kind of," Milton said.

"Yeah," Jerry responded while eyeing Grace up and down while she walked by.

"Hey I'm Kim," Kim said while shaking Milton's hand that he offered her. She then comes behind me like she has seen a ghost. I turn to see who it was and to see a man and Donna walking up to us.

"Here she is, Mr. Crawford," Donna said to the man.

"Thank you, young lady," Mr. Crawford responded glaring at Kim.

"Please call me Donna. Anytime you need help finding her, just ask," Donna said. She turned on her heal and walked away.

"Kim, you are coming home, now," her father said angrily.

"N-n-no, Sir. I have to stay in school or I will get bad grades," Kim stuttered.

"Kim, I don't care about grades. If I tell you to do something, I expect you to do so!" he shouted. Everyone in the halls was starting at him.

"Kim, you don't need to go with him. I'll do something about it," I told her before confronting her father. She tried telling me something but I didn't catch it.

"Mr. Crawford, Kim isn't going any where with you anymore. Not without me around that is. I made a vow to her to protect her at all costs. You may not remember me, but my name is Jack Brewer. I am her best friend," I said confidently.

"I remember you perfectly clear, boy. You need to stay away from my daughter or both of you will get hurt. Now would you like that to happen to her?" he asked glaring at me.

"If it means protecting her then bring it on," I challenged him.

"Jack, you can't do this! He's stronger than you!" Kim exclaimed from behind me. I didn't care I need to protect her. She is mine forever.
