A/N: I'm back! Trying to update more often now.
I got 4 reviews! Even though that's not a lot, I'm still happy about it
because I'm now over 100 :D !
Thank you to all the followers and favorites I received from you
guys, now onto the story, my 20th chapter.
Jack's P.O.V.
"Okay, so obviously all these names belong to girls," Dawn said pointing to the
list. "I figured out that the ones that are underlined are the girls he's currently
dating." She stopped and looked at me, making sure I was still following.
"How did you figure that out?"
"I figured those were the girls he was dating because Kim's name is underlined
and also, I saw him on a date with two of these other girls that are underlined." She
finished off pointing at two other names.
I sat back, staring into the street not believing her at all. But I figured I had to since
the evidence was sitting right in front of me. Then I thought I should know every
ounce of information, it's what I wanted in the beginning and I shouldn't back
down now.
Sure, I was angered and there's even more hatred I have towards John even more
now, but there was more information that I needed to know.
"So what about the other names?" I asked pointing to the sheet of paper that Dawn
was now studying.
"Right, remember when I was followed him from one of his friend's house because
I just happened to be in the area, and I saw him meet a girl at the local café?" I
nodded. "Well I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that it was one of the
girls that aren't underlined." I nodded, trying to understand so she wouldn't have to
repeat.
"So you're saying that the ones that aren't underlined he's just meeting around and
the ones that are underlined he's dating." I said recapping. All Dawn did was nod.
"Are you kidding me?" I yelled, jumping up off the curb. "That-that sleazebag!
How could he do something like this, dating five girls at the same time not to
mention also having six more girls on the sidelines?" I said turned to Dawn now. I
was still yelling, but not as loud. I started pacing the floor, my fist rolled up and
ready to hit something. "I have to tell Kim this." I said starting to walk off in the
direction of her house.
"Jack no!" Dawn yelled and ran up behind me and grabbing my shoulder, turning
me around.
"Why not?" I exasperated, throwing my arms up. "He's just screwing her and she
doesn't even know it." Dawn eyes were wide, surprised by how I was acting I
guess.
"I'm sorry Dawn, I'm just a little upset by all this, and now you're telling me I
can't even tell her the truth about John, to finally show her that I've been right all
along. Don't you care enough to let her know?"
"Jack," she sighed. "I never said I didn't care about her. But- Jack if you try and
explain it to her and try to stop her from dating him that's just going to make her
want to date him even more than she already does. Telling her is just going to
make your relationship with her even more complicated than it already is."
I sighed, not wanting her to be right like she always is.
"Fine. What if we just show her the list then?" I asked, hoping this would open a
new opportunity. But sadly, she shook her head.
"That wouldn't help Jack, knowing how Kim is, she'll probably think you made it
up to make John look bad."
I ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated and angry.
"Fine, there's nothing we can do then."
"Nothing yet." Dawn said, trying to keep our sprits high. I snorted.
"I'm going to go to the dojo; I need to get rid of some of this anger." I said through
gritted teeth. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked down the street towards
the dojo.
I started my cycle of kicking cans and anything else I came across to save me from
the thoughts that I knew would enter my head if I didn't occupy myself. I pushed
open the doors of the dojo, still looking down at the floor, hoping no one was here.
I walked over to my locker to get my sweatpants, and took off my shirt leaving my
black vest on.
"Jack?" I stopped abruptly, dropping my sweatpants.
Oh no.
I turned around slowly.
"Oh heeyyy Kim." I said slightly waving. "Whatcha doing here?" my voice getting
a bit higher. This was the exactly the person I was trying to avoid, especially now
since I couldn't tell her anything.
"Nothing, I was just bored at home and had nothing to do, thought I'd head down
to the dojo and practice a bit. Why are you here? And why are you so surprised to
see me? …and your hands are shaking…" she said slowly, inspecting my hands,
which were in fact shaking.
"I just needed to um, practice… like you." I figured I shouldn't tell her I was angry
because she would ask why and then I would have to tell her which I couldn't.
"Oh cool. Do you want to spar together then?" I nodded quickly to get away from
the subject, I was glad she hadn't noticed that I didn't answer two of her three
questions.
I picked up my sweatpants and figured I didn't need them; I could do this in just
my jeans and vest.
I got into my standing position and put my fists up.
"You ready Kim?"
"Yeah one sec." she was pointing to her phone, sending a quick text message to
someone, sending her phone down, and finally stepping onto her mat ready to bow.
But before we could even rise from our bow, her phone buzzed loudly with another
text.
"One sec." Kim said again and ran over to her bag and feverishly types her reply,
before she even had time to set her phone down, it buzzed again. This time she
gasped.
"Oh my gosh." She said quietly. "Oh my gosh!" she said again, this time louder.
She ran over to me, smile wide as ever.
"Jack guess what! Guess what! Guess what!" she was jumping up and down and
grabbing and shaking my shoulders.
"Kim! Kim! "She continued to jump up and down, phone still in hands not hearing
a word I said. This reminded me of the time Ricky Weaver walked into our dojo,
the way she acted and the way she screamed. It gave me the creeps seeing how
much John now reminded me of Ricky. "Kim! Calm down and tell me what
happened." I said holding her down by her shoulders turning her to me.
"John just asked me to go to the pier tonight for a moonlight picnic for a one
month anniversary." Her words all came out in a jumbled mess from her current
excitement. My eyes bulged out of my head and the temptation to tell her what I
know about John came full force at me now, but the words in my head from Dawn
stopped me.
"And…and you're going to go?" I asked in a small voice slowly taking my hands
off her shoulders.
"Of course I'm going to go Jack," the way she said made me look stupid for even
asking it. "It's our anniversary that's something I can't miss."
The word anniversary made something in my brain go off.
"Wait you said anniversary?" Kim nodded. "Wait, what's todays date?" Kim
looked at her phone.
"The 11th, why?"
The 11th ! That's the date of the day me and Kim first became friends. Today was
OUR anniversary. How could I even forget? This was the perfect way to take
Kim away from this date, without telling her the things about John and besides,
this date is important she wouldn't miss it for the world.
"Kim todays the 11th! Todays the day we first became friends, today is our
anniversary Kim." Her face fell.
"Oh gosh Jack, how could I forget." She said rubbing her forehead. "But John…"
Kim stopped there avoiding my eyes. I stared at her shocked.
"Wow, I can't believe this." I was saying this more to myself, than to her.
"Jack what's wrong?"
I can't believe she didn't notice what was wrong.
"You're picking John over me. This is our anniversary today; we've been friends
way longer than you and John have been in a relationship. You're putting some
guy you just met between us." I started to walk away shaking my head.
"Jack wait, it's just that-" I stopped and turned on my heels.
"It's what Kim? You think he's such a terrific super boyfriend, is that it? You're so
blinded that you don't even see that what he's doing!" I didn't move a muscle but
she walked closer to me, she looked hurt, but I didn't care. I was over boiling with
anger.
"It's not that Jack, we just…have something special."
"Open your eyes Kim! If you two really had something he wouldn't be cheating on
you with nine other girls."
"You're just making that up." Kim re-butted folding her arms. I was so angry I felt
my face burn red.
"REALLY! You think I'M making this up? Kim don't be stupid, he has a whole
list of girls whose he's screwing and YOU'RE one of them, but clearly you're too
dumb to see that he's cheating on you." These angry words were flowing out of my
mouth and I didn't know how to stop, I didn't want to stop. "You talk about him
like he's the best thing in the world but yet he doesn't care about you at all. And
the person who DOES care is standing right here…but you're too blind to see that
either."
After my tyrant I stormed out but not quick enough to see a tear fall out of Kim's
eyes and her mouth hang open in shock.
A/N: That's it :O ! Please don't be mad at Jack for doing this, you'll
all see what happens in part 2
