The next day Kim felt happy knowing she had a new friend to confide in and one that saw past the fake smiles. She walked into school with a smile on her face.
Jack was also happy about what happened yesterday afternoon. Kim had asked him out to coffee and he couldn't be more excited. Sure this probably wasn't the best idea but he couldn't help it. As he walked into his office he knew today was going to be a good day that was soon going to turn into a great one. He did his normal routine; checked his schedule for the day, read emails and listened to messages. Nothing was out of the ordinary until the last message from last night around six. Right away he knew that voice and it brought a smile to his face. He listened to it carefully with excitement, "Hey Jack, it's Kim. Just wanted to know your schedule so we can plan something. You can call me back on my cell 282-1066 or tell me at school when you see me. Have a good night and talk to you later". Jack quickly wrote down the number and carried on with his day as he now only had a few minutes before his first set of rounds.
Around lunch Jack finally had a moment to get a schedule together to tell Kim. He dialed her number and kind of hoped to talk to her but at the same time didn't want to as he started to get nervous and just his luck her voicemail came on and he left a message.
The whole day for both of them was probably one of their best days. But in life, things never stay the same.
As lunch was coming to an end Kim saw she had a message from the hospital and instantly her heart stated beating faster and her breath was caught in her throat. She quickly listened to the message that brought a smile to her face just by hearing Jack's voice. "Hey Kim, it's Jack. Thanks for the message. It totally made my day. Now for possible days to meet, I work for days 4 days with 1 day off along with night shifts every so often. I will print you out my schedule and give it to you the time I see you. I hope you have a great rest of your day and see you soon".
Grace saw the smile on Kim's face and wanted to know what was happening. "Hey Kimmy. Why are you so happy?" Grace said winking.
Kim's faces blushed as she thought of a lie. "Oh nothing. Just Brody being Brody", she said with a smile.
Grace 'awed' and Kim joked, "So what's up with you? Any interesting gentlemen these days?"
Grace's faced also blushed and Kim was shocked. "Oh my gosh! There is someone", Kim shouted happily that her best friend was interested in someone.
"Kim, its nothing serious or anything. And I only talked to him a few times but he is so gorgeous and such a gentleman. He is only a few years older than us with an amazing job. I mean what more could a girl ask for", Grace said excitedly.
"Aw, Gracie is growing up. So who is this lucky person?" Kim asked practically jumping up and down.
"Well, his niece is in my class", Grace replied trying to stay calm. But as soon as those words came out of Grace's mouth, Kim's heart instantly dropped and she prayed it wasn't who she thought it would be.
"Oh really, that's nice. What's his name?" Kim asked with a fake smile.
"His name is Jack and he is a doctor and surgeon at New York General", Grace said grinning from ear to ear. And yep, there is was. Kim's heart was broken and there was nothing she could do about it for many reason.
"Wow, that is awesome. I am so happy for you and I hope things work out", Kim said quickly, trying to leave the conversation.
"Thanks Kimmy. You are the best", Grace said hugging Kim and then walking away with a bounce in her step.
"Yeah, I am the best", Kim said sarcastically out loud to no one.
Kim tried to pretend that the whole situation with Grace and Jack was nothing and as the end of the day rolled around Kim silently prayed that she would see Jack but she didn't. Instead she saw a Latino with a buzzed haircut walking in and then out with Kaylie. Kaylie waved goodbye to Kim and Kim smiled and waved back also catching the attention of who she assumed was the father as he curiously turned around to see who Kaylie was waving at. He saw Kim and gave a friendly smile and wave that Kim instantly retuned.
That night Kim returned home to a quiet house once again. She decided the she needed to relax and get rid of her feeling for Jack but the more she tried not to think about him the feelings came on stronger. She just kept telling herself that Jack was a friend; and only a friend that she needed to vent to sometimes. This was normal right? But after a few minute of running things through her mind she decided that this was not normal at all. A married woman liking another man that her best friend also likes will only lead to heartbreak for everyone. "Damn, life sick right now", Kim said to herself.
