A/N Chapter 25! Yay! So again, my daily unrelated blurb: One of my favorite things to watch on youtube is Claire and the Crosby's. Look them up if you don't know them (I would also like to say because they are becoming more popular, I liked them BEFORE Ellen, Little Big Shots, and all their other debut's!). Anyways, the dad, Dave, also sings and he has this song called Outrun the Sun and I LOVE IT! It makes it so much more emotional if you watch the video where the mom has their 3rd baby because that is what the song is written for.
Disclaim: I don't own Kickin' It
Jack's POV
We kept driving for a while. I was sitting next to Kim and she was still hugging me. After everything that happened, she drifted off to sleep again.
Her head was tilted at a weird angle and she might have gotten a neck cramp when she woke up. I scooted her over and laid her head down on my lap. She looked so peaceful and innocent, yet her scars only made her appear stronger.
She had really grown a lot in the past few days. I studied her face as I moved the hair from off of her face.
She moved a little and I stopped playing with her hair, I didn't want to wake her up. After I stopped she continued to move ever so slightly. Then she started mumbling. After about 30 seconds, she started to yell.
"No! HELP!" she yelled. "Jaaack!" she screamed.
I tried to shake her awake. "Kim! Kim, it is a dream! Kim, wake up!" I urged.
She screamed some more and I kept shaking her. Finally, she jolted up.
"Jack!" she said, almost surprised. She held herself together fairly well until she looked at me for a second longer.
Tears silently streamed down her face and she closed her eyes.
"Kim, you're okay. What's wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.
"I had another nightmare," she sniffled.
"Like last time?"
"Yeah," she whispered. "It was more vivid this time. I was walking home and I was lost again. I was confused because I have always lived in the same place. I asked someone for help and he said sure. Then we started to walk and I never questioned that he already knew where I lived without asking. But I just had a feeling it was the wrong direction. Then I went to ask him if he was sure it was the right direction, but he was gone. I started to walk back, but I was ambushed. I- I- I was so outnumbered a-and they took me and they kept hu-hurting m-me-e."
She burst into tears again and I wiped them away. "That's horrible Kim!" I wasn't just trying to make her feel better, it really was awful. I can't believe she had such a bad dream!
Kim tried to sit on her own but was still emotionally unstable.
"Kim, whats wrong?" I asked as I pulled her back onto my chest.
She pulled away as she said, "I'm sorry Jack."
"For what?"
"For being so weak! I tried to be strong and look at me now! I'm crying over some stupid dream I had!" She cried again, which gave her more reason to cry, which made it worse again and soon she was almost to the point of hysteria.
"Shhh. Kim, calm down. Shh," I continued to say I rubbed her arm until she had finally calmed down.
"Kim, you listen to me right now. You are not weak. You are one of the strongest girls I know. Kim, you are one of the strongest people I know! Sometimes the stuff inside us hurts more than our physical pain. No one can know how you hurt when it is on the inside, and you can't just take a pill and be okay! I can't believe you haven't just completely given up on life! You have been through more than I can imagine going through in a lifetime, all in less than a week!"
"Do you really mean it Jack?" she whispered with curiosity in her eyes.
"I do. And I'd never leave you, you're my brave little Kimmy."
She blushed when I said Kimmy but didn't punch me like before. Instead, she snuggled tighter and fell back asleep.
So I really like this chapter because not only does it have a little Kick, but I put that dream she had from before in it. Because I'm not an experienced author I'm just going to say now, this dream Kim is having does have a connection with her life. Also, I really like this chapter because I wrote it when we were still talking about mental health in school so that last part where Jack is comforting Kim has a really good message inside that I hope you all come to know.
Q: What is the last tv show you physically (because sometimes you just talk to yourself) talked about?
A: Gameshakers, specifically the episode where they talk about iCarly because my little brother was watching it and I heard the theme song so I looked up from my phone and I saw it and I was like WHAT? Then someone was talking about iCarly today and I told them about that episode of Gameshakers :D
