AN: I'm back! Here with another one-shot, I can't believe how many good reviews I got from the first one! I'm so happy! X'D Just letting you know this one is a little darker than the other one so just a heads up. Btw I DO NOT recommend you do what Kim tries to do in this chapter. I hope you make that right decision to NOT do what she tries to do.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' it!

I can't be alone

Kim's POV

N-n-no, no, NO! This can't be happening! Why does life hate me?! UGH! I just wanna lie in my bed and wait for the world to end... or until the end of time, which ever comes last.

"KIM!" My dad yelled at me.

"WHAT?!" I yelled back at him.

"I'm gonna be with my friends tonight so can you stay at one of your friends please? I don't think you should be home alone cause'... you know!" He semi-yelled at me.

My mother died in a car wreck. I have been a disaster since it happened. I haven't been out of my bed in 4 days and my dad is in huge denial that she's gone but as long as he's ok, I guess, then I'm ok. "Sure Dad."

"Thank you sweetie." He yelled.

I sat up on my bed and wiped away the tears. I still felt a lot of pain, but I'm not one to show it in front of my friends. I just have to be like my dad and act like nothing happened. The first place I thought of when dad said I should stay at a friends place, the dojo. I got ready but it was just my green bobby wasabi tee with white sweat shorts and sneakers then headed to the dojo.

I opened the dojo to be greeted by everybody. They all wrapped my in a warm group hug that stopped when I joked saying they were hurting me. So they all stepped back and just stared at me.

"Guys, I'm fine. Alright? I'm gonna go change so I can spar with Jack, ok?" They all nodded in agreement. "Jack you'll wait for me right?"

"Yeah just don't be long." Jack said, I nodded and headed for the changing room.

As soon as I closed the door I burst into tears. I couldn't believe I lied to all of them. I made it seem like my mother's death was nothing, but it was something. It was a big something. I can't believe she's gone.

Jack's POV

I waited for Kim like she asked but she was taking forever. It's been 10 minutes! I guess I better go check on her. I walked to the girls changing room and pushed my ear against the door. I heard her crying.

I knocked on the door, "Kim, are you ok?"

She immediately stopped crying, "Yeah I'm fine, I'll be out in a minute." All throughout that sentence she couldn't stop sniffling, then she started crying again.

"Kim... I'm coming in!" I opened the door. She gasped and looked at me.

"Jack you scared me! Why did you barge in like that?"

"Because I heard you crying, Kim your not ok." She sighed and closed the door.

"I know it's just I miss her so much." She started to cry again so I hugged her and she cried in my shoulder.

"Why didn't you just tell me? I would've been there for you."

"Because I don't like crying, it's a sign of weakness."

"Kim..." I lifted her face up to look into my eyes, "It's not a sign of weakness, it just means you're sad and you need someone to be there." She sighed and rested her head in my shoulder. "Kim you need to go home so your dad can take care of you."

"I can't go home, Dad isn't home and says I should stay at a friends house."

I grabbed her wrist, "Come on."

"Wear are we going?"

"To my house."

"Oh... uh, ok." I walked her out of the dojo and took her to my house.

"Where's your mom?" She asked

I looked at Mom's work schedule on the fridge which said she should be at work right now "At work."

We went to my room and watched some TV. Everything was fine until...

"Breaking news a gas station was just robbed. Three people were wounded from gunshots." The news showed pictures of the three guys one that included Kim's father.

"They are at the hospital right now being treated." Then the channel that was on before the news came back on. I looked at Kim who was bursting into tears. As soon as I was about to say something she ran out of my room.

Kim's POV

Why does the world hate me?! What have I done wrong? As soon as I saw my dad's face on the news I had to do something to take my mind off it. I thought of the only thing I could think off that would stop the pain. I've heard that it helps but I don't know I've never tried it before, I guess I'm gonna find out. I ran into the kitchen and got out a small steak knife and I held my wrist out. I slowly brought the knife to my wrist.

"Kim NO!" Jack held my wrist that was connected to the hand that held the knife and pushed it away from me.

"Jack!" I tried to struggle out of his hold but he had me against the counter with a wrist in each of his hand. "Let go of me!" I yell in his face.

"No! Why do you want to cut yourself?!"

"Are you kidding me?! I need to take my mind off of this emotional pain!"

"So your gonna cut yourself?!" He hit my hand against the fridge causing me to drop the knife on the counter.

"Yes! I have to keep my mind off of my parents and my sucky life! If I cut myself then I'll be focused on the physical pain that's happening not the emotional!"

"Kim, I'm sorry, but that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of!"

"Jack just leave me alone!" I pushed him off of me and on the floor. "I never even asked for your help!"

Jack's POV

"Jack just leave me alone!" She pushed me on the floor. "I never even asked for your help!" I grabbed her ankle and pulled her down making her cry in pain.

"Kim don't do this! You don't need to hurt yourself! I can't let you do this!" She tried to crawl away from me but I sat on her lower stomach and held her arms next to her head. "You're beautiful! You don't need scars! You need to calm down!"

"How do you know what I need and don't need?!"

"Because I'm your best friend Kim! And I care too much to let you do something like this." I said softer, then she looked away from me. "Kim don't do this. You shouldn't hurt yourself. I couldn't live with myself if I knew I let you do this. I care too much about you. If you start to hurt yourself then you'll start to hurt me." She just laid there looking away from me, not even caring about what I'm saying, "Kim look at me." I turned her face towards mine with my hand. "I love you. Ok? That's why I care so much." Her face turned into complete shock. What did I just do? That was so stupid. I got off of her and put the knife back in the drawer.

"You love me?" I heard a soft, shaky voice ask.

I sighed. "Yeah I love you."

She stopped to think, "Jack I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything just don't hurt yourself."

"Yeah but I shouldn't just leave you like this."

"Kim, it's fine."

"You just told me you love me and your fine that I'm silent?"

"Well if it keeps you from hurting yourself then yes, I'm fine with it."

I felt her hand on my shoulder so I turned around and she hugged me. I couldn't help but melt so I wrapped my arms around her waist and dug my head in the crook of her neck. She placed her hand on the back of my neck and her thumb on my cheek and gently pulled my face towards hers. She softly pressed her lips against mine and I started to kiss back. Her lips were soft and sweet I didn't want it to stop but I needed air so I pulled back a little to breath then I went back in.

"I love you too." She said against my lips. Once we broke I held her close.

I whispered in her ear, "Yeah I definitely liked the silence that just happened." Then I softly kissed her cheek. I heard her giggle which made me smile. "Come on, lets call the hospital and ask about your dad."

She hung up the phone. "So what did they say?"

"He's gonna be fine!" She jumped and hugged me.

"Kim that's great!"

"I know! I'm so happy!" We sat on my bed and then I wondered what does this make us?

"Uh Kim does this mean that we're a couple?" She smiled

"What do you think?" I smiled and held her close.

"I love you Kimmy." I whispered in her ear

"I love you too, Jackie."

AN: Once again you SHOULDN'T cut yourself. I hope I've made myself clear.
