*sorry for the delay for a few years, I actually forgot about the story. I knew I was writing it, but I couldn't pick it up….okay let me repost a new chapter.
As Kim was walking away, the thoughts in her head were fuming out. Everything she ever wanted to say to him through all those years was finally able to come out and she was ANGRY! All she could think of was her sadness and what she believed to be true and the hurt that she shoveled away and hid for all the years up until that point. It felt great to get that all out. She thought to herself. But there was something inside she knew was wrong about it. As she walked to her hotel she decided to keep walking, she needed the breath of fresh air to clear her head. She walked across the way to the Reefside community park and sat on the bench, that's when she saw him coming from the sidewalk….
Tommy looked so much older, Kim thought as she brushed her long brown hair away from her face. You could tell the all the battles through the years had changed the boy he once was. The strain on his face, the wrinkles that appeared that in his early 30's shouldn't be that apparent yet. As Tommy got closer he gave a half smile and sat beside her. "So I guess we know each other too well." Tommy chuckled a halfhearted chuckle. "Yeah guess we do..." Kim looked away and sighed. "Kim, I know what you said and you were right. I wasn't fair to you. I was with Kat a lot before we broke up. Kim I was young and having fun and saving the world. For a 17 year old boy that's a lot of pressure and to have someone there who understands…." Tommy I know I was in the same situation you were! Kim yelled, she didn't mean to, but dang it felt good she thought. "Tommy it's in the past, I shouldn't have brought it up like that in front of that place or maybe even at all. What happened,happened and we can't go back." Kim I was with Kat, but I loved you, I would've never cheated on you." Maybe so, Kim said. But like you said we were young and I reacted how I felt in the 17 year old way. I'm sorry for that, but I'm not sorry for feeling betrayed! Tommy looked away. "Kim, I can't take anything back, but we can move forward from here." He put his hand on her shoulder and looked into her brown soft chocolate eyes. "Please, I'm sorry for everything. We were young, in love and there was mistakes made. Don't let that define who we are as people in the here and now." "Let's start over and be the friends we should've been a long." Tommy pleaded with her. Kim's eyes dashed from his breaking the moment that was beginning to be the hardest conversation ever. She couldn't believe that time didn't change the longing looks that they give only to each other. The stare she knew too well. She knew that friendship was the last thing that Kimberly Hart and Tommy Oliver could ever be or do. But in the instant when his eyes were locked into her and she could see everything clear for the first time in years……all she could say was……ok.
