A/N Sorry this is so late in the day, I had tennis late so... Thanks to everyone who has reviewed again! I hope y'all like this chapter, it is a long one. Just so you know (if you even care) I am ahead in writing the story (but I don't post everything I have because it lets me post more consistently, which I prefer so...) and I am on chapter 22 or 23 right now. I am thinking of writing a Sequal of some sort too, so get ready!

We finished eating and walked to Jack's house. I did a little homework and remembered I still had all my things at my house.

"Uh, Jack? Do you think we could go to my house and get my stuff? I should also just check in with my neighbor, so she knows I'm responsible, you know," I said.

"Sure! Should we go now?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's almost dark. We should right away." I told Jack.

We walked over to my house and I got my sleepover bag. I put in an outfit for tomorrow and some clothes to wear for tonight, considering I usually sleep without pants at my house… I grabbed some other things from the bathroom and ran downstairs.

"You ready?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, now I just have to go to my neighbors. Um, can you hold this while I go over? I don't want her to think I'm like running away or anything," I asked.

Jack's POV

"Sure," I said grabbing her bag. We walked outside and Kim locked the door. She walked next door and I walked to the sidewalk to wait for Kim.

The door opened, and Kim looked back at me, mouthed a sorry, and walked in. About 10 minutes later she walked back out.

"I will! Thank you! Yes, I will! Bye!" She said. Once the door was closed she made a mad dash to me.

"Sorry!" She panted. "That lady sure knows how to talk!"

Kim reached for her bag, but I slung it over my shoulder. "Jackson!" She yelled.

"Kimmy!" I replied.

She stopped, "why do you have to call me that?"

"Cause I like your reaction!" I said.

She bumped me off the sidewalk and grabbed her bag from me. "You know I can hold a bag too?" She argued.

"I must have been in there for a while, it's all dark now!" She said surprised.

"Yeah, let's hurry back to my house," I told her, starting to worry just a little.

"Jack, everything is fine-" Kim started, sending my tension. She stopped as we both saw someone in front of us.

We quickly walked past and turned the corner, hoping we had avoided a bad situation. I put my arm around Kim's shoulders and just then a man came and blocked our path.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.

"Let's go," I whispered to Kim, leading her away.

"I asked a question!" He yelled.

We just ignored him, but I could feel him walking behind us now.

Suddenly Kim screamed and fell out of my grasp. I turned and saw the man pulling Kim's hair.

"Jack!" She yelled.

I tried to punch the man holding Kim but I felt arms wrap around me, preventing any such action. I was lifted up and taken away from Kim. Kim was drug away in an alley of sorts.

I tried to get out but I couldn't. I heard one of Kim's screams and I felt my body acting for me. I pushed away from my holder's body who then dropped me. I punched and kicked him but he stood firm. Finally, I flipped him and he hit his head on the ground, now unconscious.

I had to find Kim now. I ran to where we were ambushed but she wasn't there. I heard a scream and ran towards it. I found an alley with Kim laying down, being beaten by two men.

"Get away from her!" I yelled.

They quickly turned and sauntered over to me. One threw a punch which I easily caught.

"You probably shouldn't have done that."

I took one and Kim took the other. These guys were strong, but not too smart. I could kick and punch them and they would be fine, but their own punches were slow and easily dodged. After a few minutes, I finally knocked that guy down for good.

I looked over and saw Kim struggling with the other guy. He kicked Kim to the ground. Without giving her a chance to recover he punched her. Before he could strike again I kicked him.

I had my focus on Kim for half a second, but it was enough for a punch to be thrown at my gut. I have got to admit, it had a lot of power. Kim must be really strong for withstanding all those punches.

After recovering I quickly took care of the last guy and ran to Kim. She had bruises forming all over her body. "Kim!" I said.

"Jack, it hurts," she said.

"Let me help you up," I said, lifting her to her feet. It was quickly evident that she would not be able to walk.

"Can I carry you?" I asked, knowing she hates to be carried.

She just nodded as I hugged her and picked her up. I started to leave the alley when I passed the guy who had first held me. He was awake and saw me and Kim.

"Kimmy, you're not getting away that easy," he said, laughing.

I felt Kim shake in my arms. As the man walked towards us, I kicked him, knocking him out once again.

I looked down and Kim was crying. "Kim, it's okay, you're alright." I tried to comfort her. "We're going back home now."

I ran to my house so we could avoid any other surprises tonight. Once we got in I sat on the couch, still with Kim in my arms.

"Kim, we're here," I said.

She looked up and scooted off my lap.

"How are your bruises?" I asked cautiously.

"They really hurt, I just want to go to bed," she replied.

"Can I see?"

She nodded and stood up, before falling back to the couch. "I think I twisted my ankle," Kim said.

"It's okay, I think I have some wrap, maybe an ankle brace."

I inspected her arms and legs, which had a few bruises. "Can I see your stomach?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't think I was gross or weird. Luckily she nodded and lifted up her shirt a few inches.

Her arms and legs weren't horrible, but her stomach had tons of bruises.

"I guess they just kick really hard…" She said smiling.

"How can you be smiling at a time like this Kim? You're covered in bruises and can't even walk, and you're happy?" I asked surprised.

"Well, at least I have you," She said looking at me.

I hugged her when she screamed out in pain. "Sorry, Kim!" I said.

"You're- go-good." She panted.

"Do you want any Tylenol?" I asked.

"Are sure that's okay?" She asked me.

"Kim, I'm not gonna let you get addicted or anything. Don't you trust me?" I said cockily smiling.

"Fine. I'll take some. Just for tonight so I can sleep." She agreed.

I grabbed the Tylenol and poured it into a cup and found some wrap for Kim's foot. I came back and gave the medicine to her as in wrapped her foot. Once I finished I heard a knock at our door.

"Stay here," I told Kim.

I peeked out the window and didn't see any signs of the guys from earlier so I opened the door.

"Jackson, is Kimberly here?"

"Alston! How do you know where I live?" I started to ask.

He looked around then walked in and closed the door.

"Is Kimberly here?" He asked again.

"Yeah she is, but what are you doing here?" I tried again.

Alston walked into my family room and saw Kim. "Thank goodness you're alright Kimberly!" He said.

"Kim." She coldly corrected him.

"Listen, you are in more danger than we thought. Please come with me, we can keep you safe," he urged Kim.

"From what!?" She said throwing her arms in the air.

"We can't tell you, but if you woul-"

"No! I'm not going anywhere!" She yelled. She tried to get up and walk away, but after a few steps her foot gave out and she fell. Alston tried to help her, but I got there first. She used me as a crutch so she wouldn't have to sit back down with Alston.

"Okay. Fine. But please would you consider allowing us to send someone to look after you?" He asked.

"Like a babysitter? No way!" Kim was starting to get really mad.

"Not like a babysitter, more like a loose bodyguard," Alston tried.

"I don't c-"

"Kim, is that really going to hurt you? Think about everything that has happened in the past few days. What if it gets worse? I think you should say yes," I tried to tell her.

"Jack, I have you! I can do this!" She argued.

"Kim, what about tonight?" I asked.

"We got out alive. Barely maybe, but still alive!" She said.

"We got lucky this time, but next time we might not be so lucky!" I paused.

"Kim, remember what I said earlier? I won't think you are any less strong if you ask for a little help!" I reminded her.

"Fine! Send a babysitter! I'm going to bed," she said, hoping in her good foot to the stairs.

I watched as she realized she didn't have her bag and hopped back to me. She snatched the bag from my back and hopped back to the stairs. After looking them over for a second, she sat down on the steps and scooted up.

"Kim! I can't take this!" I said going over to her. I lifted her up bridal style and brought her to the bathroom.

"Thanks," She mumbled.

I came back downstairs and Alston was looking through all the family pictures we had. I cleared my throat and he looked up.

"Sorry about that. Um, so can you tell us anything?" I tried.

"No. Not yet. I'll get some agents down here as soon as possib-" he started to say. Then the doorbell rang again. I looked at Alston who reached for his belt.

I looked down and realized he had a gun. I guess that is kind of relieving and scary at the same time. I went to the door and Alston hid behind a wall, just in case.

A/N Who is at the door? Wait and see tomorrow!

So I want to be involved more so I have a few questions for you guys!
