Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter; I updated 3 yesterday because I was sick and excited to write what happens next, I hope you like this chapter.
Previously on The Great Escape:
Erin's POV:
I was at the dojo that following day, Kim keeps calling texting, and trying to talk to me, but I'm being too stubborn to listen to her.
"Hey Angel." Jack says cheerfully and walks over to me and I slap him on the cheek.
"How could you?! You kissed my best friend while you are dating me!" I shout at him, I know it was just for the play but I am still hurt.
"Erin, I'm sorry, the kiss meant nothing to me." Jack says.
"Don't you know how much you hurt me by kissing Kim?" I ask him with tears in my eyes.
"Erin I'm sorry." He says and tries to reach out for me but I move back.
"You said you wouldn't let anything hurt me, but it's ok for you to hurt me?" I ask him.
"Erin, I…" He starts but I cut him off.
"Jack, did you feel anything in that kiss with Kim? And be honest." I say.
"No! I love you; I would never hurt you like that." He says.
"Too late, you did." I say.
"I'm sorry." He says.
"Jack, I think we need to break up." I say.
"W-What?" He says with tears in his eyes.
"I need time to think, you and Kim really hurt me." I say.
"Ok." He says, his voice starting to choke and walks off.
I know I'm being stubborn about this whole thing, but after my sister's death, I'm having a hard time trusting people.
Austin and Ally said they would help me through my pain but were too focused on their career, and now Jack and Kim said they wouldn't hurt but did.
I don't know what's going to happen now.
Dear God,
Help me learn to trust again, the loved ones in my life don't deserve this pain I'm causing them because of my stubbornness, help me to forgive them and trust their word.
I n your name I pray,
Amen.
Chapter 21: Forgiveness and Regrets
Erin's POV:
I was walking into the dojo when I saw Kim sitting on the bench crying, I was still hurt by what happened a week ago between Kim, Jack and I, but I couldn't just ignore my best friend crying.
"What's wrong Kimmy?" I ask walking over to her and sitting down next to her.
"You were right, Matt is a jerk." She says.
"What? What happened?" I ask rubbing her back.
"Matt cheated on me." She says, and I stand up in anger.
"Oh, he's so dead." I say and start to walk off but Kim grabs my arm.
"No Er, just leave it alone." She says.
"He hurt my best friend; I'm not going to let him get away with it." I say.
"Why are you talking to me? You have been ignoring me for a week." Kim says.
"I just couldn't let you cry, I was stubborn and didn't listen when my heart knew what you said was true, there's nothing going on between you and Jack." I say with my head hanging down.
"I know you were just hurt, I should have listened to you about Matt and I should have told you about the play sooner." Kim says.
"I'm so sorry, can you forgive me Kimmy?" I ask Kim.
"Of course I will!" Kim says and we hug and we hear someone walk in the door.
"Hiya toots, Hey baby." Matt says, and I went to walk towards him but Kim grabs my arm, knowing if she wouldn't stop me, something bad would happen.
"Don't call her that, you hurt her by cheating on her, now you're gonna get what you deserve." I say to him, gently pulling my arm away from Kim.
"Oh that girl I cheated on Kim with was a joke, and now you and Jack broke up, I can have you." He says stroking me cheek, that's it I had enough.
I flip him and put my foot on his chest to prevent him from getting up and was getting ready to punch him, but I looked up at Kim and saw her mouthing the word 'No.' to me.
"You know what? You're not worth it." I say and take me foot off his chest and he gets up but when Kim looks away I slap him across the face, hard, but Kim saw, and to my surprise done the same thing.
"Get out." I said with anger and push him out the door.
"What was that all about?" Jerry asked.
"Oh that? That was Kim's lying, cheating Ex boyfriend, but don't worry, I took care of it." I said.
"So you and Kim made up?" Milton asks.
"Yup." I say as I hug Kim.
"Now you just need to forgive Jack." Kim says.
"Speaking of Jack, where is he? I've hardly seen him the past week except for school and karate." I ask.
"He's on his way here, but he's not dealing with the break up well, if you thought the break up that last a day when you almost went to New York was bad you're wrong." Milton says.
"He has hardly eaten, slept and has cried every time we go to his house saying it's his fault. It takes us everything we have in us to get him out of the house for practice and school." Kim says.
"Oh no, this is all my fault. I promise I will talk to him after practice, I got to go, I left my bag at school." I say and walk to the door.
I was lost in thought thinking about everything that I heard and forgot to look before I crossed the street.
"Erin! Look out!" I heard and I was about to react when I felt someone forcefully push me out of the way.
I get up and look around to see Jack blacked out in front of the car.
At the hospital*
Erin's POV:
I was in the waiting room waiting to find out if Jack was okay.
"I'm so stupid, if I wasn't so stubborn to realize that you and Jack kissing for the play, none of this would have happened." I say to Kim.
"You never know, you could have never fought with us and this still could have happened." Kim says trying to help.
"Oh God please let him be ok." I say with tears in my eyes.
"It's ok Erin, he'll be ok." Kim says hugging me.
"Kim, I should have believed you guys, you are like a sister to me, my best friend, my partner in crime, and Jack, he's my best friend, my boyfriend, my first love, you guys have been there for me through thick and thin and how do I repay you? By fighting with you about a kiss for a school play, ignoring you guys and causing Jack to be hit by a car!" I say crying.
"Er, it's ok, we know you were just hurt by what you saw, we knew you would probably be stubborn about it, but you didn't cause jack to be hit by that car, and Jack loves you so much he would risk his life for you." Kim says.
"Thanks Kimmy, but I just can't go through the lost of another loved one." I say.
"Er, listen to me, he'll be ok." Kim says.
"Kim's right Erin, Jack's too much of a fighter to be held down." Jerry says causing me to smile a little.
"Let's pray." Milton says and we all nod and bow our heads and close our eyes.
"Dear God, please let Jack be ok, he doesn't deserve to be hurt for something I stupidly did, we pray for his safety and we pray that he will be that fighting machine he always was. In your name we pray, amen." I pray.
"Amen." Milton, Kim, and Jerry repeats.
"You may see him now." The nurse said and we all look at each other and walk to Jack's room.
He was still asleep, causing me to worry.
"I'll go talk to the doctor to find out what's wrong with him." Milton says and walks out of the room to find the doctor.
"I'm going to the cafeteria, you guys want anything?" Jerry asks.
"Some water please." Kim says.
"Me too." I reply.
Jerry nods and walks out of the room towards to cafeteria.
"I'll let you guys be alone." Kim says and follows Jerry.
I look at Jack and see some bruises on his arms and a few cuts on his hands.
"Jack, wake up, I'm so sorry, I was being stubborn, I should have listened to you. Please wake up, I love you." I say and start crying.
Suddenly I feel something wipe my tears away.
"Angels aren't supposed to cry." I hear someone say.
I turn and see…..
