If you could me now
Jack
"Jack,what's wrong?" Kim asked concerned. "You didn't say a word during pratice,you said no to falafel,and you ruined three punching dummys. Something's up."
I just sighed and kept beating up this poor dummy. I didn't want to talk about it,not now,not even with Kim. It was just too soon.
"Jack?" Kim asked. I drew back my fist for another punch,but Kim caught it,and stood infront of the dummy.
"Jack,look at me." She ordered. I finally looked her square in her warm,beautiful-okay stop it!
Yeah,yeah. You guessed it,I have a small crush on my best friend-wow that sounded weird! But it would just ruin our friendship,and besides,right now is not the time to focus on even more conflicted feelings.
"Spill it,Brewer." Kim said in a evil voice,that even made me flinch back a little. What? It's KIM,you gotta be a little scared.
"Look,Kim." I sighed. "I'm sorry. It's nice that you care,but it's too soon. I promise I'll tell you when I'm ready." I saw her gaze soften.
"It's fine,Jack. I'm sorry that I was being pushy...I-I just hate when you are so upset,and I can't do a thing about it. It just makes me feel so...worthless." She said the last part under her breath,thinking I couldn't hear her.
I pulled her into a big hug,"Your not worthless,your the most carring,sweetest girl ever!" I puled back to look at her,and a smirk slid on my face. "Well most of the time! OW! Okay,I admit I deserved that." I said,rubbing my arm.
Suddenly we got caught up in echothers gazes. We both leaned in,like gravity was pulling us together. Her brown eyes sparkled,I could feel her warm breath on my cheek.
Then suddenly,SLAM! We jumped apart as Rudy and the guys came running in,chased by...a pack of dogs? Sounds about right.
"I-I-"
"...umm"
"I'll see you later." I finally said.
"Yeah,later." Kim replied,and I walked out the door.
"OMG! Did I almost kiss Kim Crawford?!"
...pagebreak...
Kim
"OMG! Did Jack Brewer almost kiss me?!" I was freaking out happily in my room. What? It's a girl thing.
"HE'S SO HOT! MAKE'S ME WANNA DROP-" I cut off my phone's text alert. If you haven't guessed,that was Jack's ringtong. He had snached my phone one day,and changed it to "HOT" from "True Friends",and for some reason I kept it. The only thing that disturbs me is,how did he know about that song...
Meet me and the guys in the food court in thirty minutes-don't be late
-Jack
I smiled,and first debated if this text really came from him,or was a trap. But decided against it.
"What kind of a idiot would plan something in a populated mall,infront of a karate dojo,with pleanty of people around,and security gaurds?"
I went through my clothes quickly,and picked out something cute but casual,and smart but not Jullie smart,and comfortable but not lazy looking.
Okay,you maybe wondering why I'm trying so hard. Well it's not because I have a major,huge crush on him-okay,I think I just underminded myself.
Finally,I found something. I ran out the door faster then you could say "KARATE!"
...pagebreak...
When I got there,I bumped into the guys. They were standing behind a large crowd,and looked as confused as I did.
"Oh,hi Kim!"
"Hey,sista!"
"Has anyone seen my corndog?"
"Hi,guys. Ummm...Does anyone know what's going on?" I asked after a minute of watching Jerry trying to hit on someone.
Before anyone could answer,the crowd cleared a little bit,and I saw someone jump on a stage that hadn't been there this morning.
"HEY,HEY,HEY! ARE YOU PEOPLE READY TO PAR-TAY?!" The guy yelled. He looked like he was in his late thirtys,and had brown hair,and brown eyes.
"WELCOME TO THE FREE STYLE MUSIC NIGHT,NO COMPITION-AND EVERYONE'S WELCOME TO JOIN! I'M GONNA BE YOUR M.C,YOUR HOST,YOUR-" He tried to continue but was interupted.
"Let the people play already!" Someone screamed.
"OKAY THEN! FIRST UP IS JACKSON BREWER,SINGING "If you could see me now"!
"Wait Brewer? Did he say Brewer?!"
Then Jack apeared on the stage and picked up the mike. "Hi everyone. This song goes out to my parents,and anyone else who has lost a loved one." With that,he had the sterio guy put out the music.
"That's why he was so upset..."
"Oh if you could see me now
Oh if you could see me now
It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day
The roses came, but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on,
I see you standing there next to Mom
Always singing along, yeah arm in arm
And there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say music was the home for your pain
And explain, I was young, he would say
"Take that rage, put it on a page
Take the page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place"
I'm tryna make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God
Saying that's my kid
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
Oh if you could see me now
If you could see me now would you recognise me
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticise me
Would you follow every line on my tear stained face
Put your hand on a heart that's was cold
As the day you were taken away
I know it's been awhile but I could see you clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I won't know I will until it cost me
Like I won't know real love till I've loved then I've lost it
And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now
So if you get a second to look down at me now
Mom, Dad, I'm just missing you now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
Oh... Oh...
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh... Oh...
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
Oh...
You could see, you could see me now
You could see, you could see me now" Jack ignored the clapping and jumped off the stage to meet me. I just stood in shock. Who knew Jack could sing?
"Kim,I hope your not mad at me for not telling you,I-" I cut him off with a big hug.
"I'm not mad! Seriously,your parents died-but you pulled yourself together,and made a statement. Dude,I couldn't be more proud!" I said with a smile,and began to pull away,but Jack grabbed my arms.
"Wait," He said,I looked at him confused. "There's something I forgot to do before." Before I could reply,warm lips were on mine. After a second of processing what was going in,I kissed back.
I felt butterflys in my stomach as we pulled back,both smiling like idiots. Jerry came up from behind and tapped me on my shoulder,and without looking I flipped him.
Jack burst out laughing. "That's my girl!"
