KIM

"Hello Kim." Fear runs through my body.

"What are you doing hear?"

"We came to see if our little girl was ok." The woman I used to call my mother says.

"Son, get out." My Dad says to Jack. I meet his eyes and mentally plead with him to stay but he still leaves anyway.

"Well, little Kimmy actually got a friend that isn't completely hideous, just like her." I feel the tears come to my eyes but I blink them away.

"Leave." I say quietly.

"Oh, that's no way to talk to your parents. You'll pay for that when you get out of here." My Dad whispers as he leaves the room. I'm paralyzed. Those years fly through my head. Then last night. Then something else. When I slipped away from conciseness, I heard a voice. It wasn't like an angel but it kinda was. Some one was screaming my name.

"Jack!" I say. He runs in.

"What! Are you ok?" I smile. Then the smile disappears. Then reappears.

"Who were you just talking to you?" I ask.

"Um, some guy named Austin."

"Austin!" I scream.

JACK

"Austin!" She screams. The blonde boy comes running in.

"Hey beautiful!" Jealousy runs through me. "When did you wake up?" He kisses her on the cheek. More jealousy.

"Just about ten minutes ago! When did you get here?"

"Yesterday. After you're out of here wanna go get some food?"

"Sure! When can I leave?"

"Right now." The nurse says as she walks in.

Kim get up Austin picks her up and spins her into a hug. Ok, I am getting very close to beating this guy. When the walk out he puts his arm around her. I can't believe it. He walks in and gets her, I save her life and I'm chopped liver. I run over to Jerry's house and knock on the door.

"Jerry!" I scream

"I'm sorry Jerry is not hear, can I take a message?" A female Latino voice asks.

"Jerry I know that's you now opens up." Then I am greeted by a short woman that whacks me in the head with a duster.

"Jerry is not here! Now leave before I call the cops!" I run as fast as I can. Hey, duster hurt more than you would think. I pull out my phone to call jerry instead.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jerry, its Jack. Do you know any guy named Austin?"

"Yea. Kim has an older brother named Austin."

"Oh, that makes since. Thanks bye!" I say as I hang up. Now I feel stupid. "I thought he was her boy friend!" I laugh. Now that I know she doesn't have another boyfriend, I'm going to try again.

KIM

"So how's life been?" Austin says through falafel balls.

"You want the truth?" he nods. "It's been terrible. You know how you wanted me to come with you that one summer day when I was eight?"

"Yes."

"After you left, I became Mom and Dads punching bag. They blamed me for you leaving. And After three years of that the just left one day, never came back. And now there here, ready to hurt me again."

"What?"

"And that's not even the beginning." I tell him all about the bullies, idiots, and Jack.

"I talked to that jerk?"

"Kinda, but I'm not sure if he's a jerk or not. You know why I was in the hospital?" More nodding. "He saved me." Now he just looks confused. "When I was attacked he ran in and called the cops, then through the guy off me. So I'm not sure what to do about him."

"I wish I could tell ya, kid. So are you going to go home?"

"No. Definitely not. Mom and dad are waiting for me."

"Well, I'm staying with Jerry, and I'm pretty sure he will be happy to have you too. Are you going to go to school?"

"Sure why not?" We laugh.

The next day (Still Kim's POV)

I wish I hadn't agreed to go to school. I feel so out of place. Even more out of place then I was. Lindsey has been making it even worse. She follow me around and talks me about how it feels to loose your V card. Today's been good though. No ones been idiotic, but Lindsey's been looking at me funny. Kinda like she is planning something. I found out what she was planning at lunch.

I went out to my locker to get some chap stick when Lindsey and her little groupies came. "So I heard Jack saved you from dying. I would have just left you."

"Shut up Lindsey." I say. She stares at me with hate, then smiles.

"This is a message from jack." I feel her palm hit my face, then her knee colliding with the cut on my stomach. I didn't know she could kick so hard. I fell to the ground and started coughing up blood. I barely heard the last thing she said due to the sound of my blood coming up my throat. "Go kill yourself." She whispers.

I always thought it but I never believed it. Now I do.

I am a worthless girl who no one cares for. I could die and no one would cry. Should you stay alive if no one is there to love you? The answer is very simple. No.
