Jessica Wasabi: The End

Chapter Eleven
Jess's POV

When my uncle left, I dropped Mo off at Kim's apartment and went to the dojo for my class. The kids were so cute and so determined. They were between the ages of seven and eight, three boys and two girls, and they all loved karate. I felt close to them, after all, they were the next generation Wasabi Warriors.

"Sensei Jessica, what are we doing today?" one of the boys, Jay, asked me.

"Just some basic blocks, punches, and kicks again," I replied, trailing off a bit as I looked at my phone. I set the phone on the bench and added, "I'm going to put on my gi, start warming up and I'll be right back."

I walked to the bathroom, carrying my gym bag. When I came out, the kids were sparring with one another. I smiled and they stood straight when they saw me.

"Sensei, can't we do something else? Basics are boring," Jay complained.

I laughed and asked, "And just what would you like to do?"

He looked around the room and his eyes landed on the Bo staffs. "Bo staff routines!" he said excitedly.

I smiled and picked up one of the staffs, twirling it around a bit. "I must admit, I am quite fond of Bo staffs, but..." I set the staff back down and looked at the kids, "I don't think you guys are ready for that yet."

There were complaints in return and I rolled my eyes, getting back to the lesson.

After about an hour, Jack walked into the dojo. I glanced at him then looked back at the kids. "That's all for today, I'll see you guys on Wednesday," I said and they all went to change.

I picked up my bag and water bottle and started to walk towards the door. "Wait," Jack said he stepped in front of me, "Jess, we need to talk."

"Maybe another time, Jack, but now I have to pick up Morgan before she gets on Kim's bad side," I replied.

He chuckled, "A few extra minutes won't hurt. Come on, Jess, how long can you hold a grudge?"

I scowled. "You yelled at me for... my life, basically," I said angrily, "My past, my present... my husband, my children! How can you expect me to forgive you so easily?!"

He seemed a bit fazed by my tone and he was quiet, thinking about his next words carefully. "I had no right to judge you the way I did, I had no right to be upset, and I had no right to yell at you. I realize that now. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me."

I glanced around and clenched one fist. "Sometimes it takes more than an apology to make things better," I said with a shaky voice, "I know you think that you can fix everything, Jack, but you can't. You know what I've been through, you know it's hard for me to forgive and forget... I need time. Please give me that."

He didn't say anything else, just stared at the ground, and I walked past him. I sighed as I walked out of the dojo. He reminded me so much of Kai...

I put my hands in my pocket as I remembered talking with Kai when I went back for Drake's trial.

I had just arrived at my hotel, he was waiting for me in the lobby. I scowled when I saw him.

"Jess, can we talk?" he asked as I walked to the elevator.

"I'd rather not," I stated.

"Please? It'll only take a minute, Jessi, I swear."

"Don't call me that!" I snapped and pressed the elevator call button, "What do you want?"

"I... I am so sorry about what I did," he looked at me sincerely, "I was such an idiot, I was also an idiot to ever let you get away..."

I glanced at the ground and reached up to hold my necklace. "I have a boyfriend, Kai..."

"You also still have the necklace I gave you when we started dating." He half-smiled.

I looked at the girlfriend necklace and sighed. "That only means that I'm sentimental."

He took his matching necklace from under his shirt. "I still have mine too... Jess, one chance, please?"

"If I say no, will you try to kill me again?" I glared at him.

He sighed. "Jess... yeah, I was upset that you were dating Jack but I didn't want to hurt you just because of that... It was a cover-up story, I couldn't let you know that I was helping Drake..." he explained, "Jess, I understand that you don't want to go out with me, so can we at least be friends...?"

"I... I just don't know if I can trust you anymore," I replied.

"You use to trust me with your life. You told me everything and I kept every secret... I never told anyone because I knew you needed someone to trust when it felt like the whole world was breaking around you. And there is nothing I regret more, than breaking that trust. I am so sorry, and I hope you can forgive me..."

The elevator doors finally opened. "I... Don't get your hopes up, Kai."

I stepped into the elevator and the doors closed. I leaned against the back wall and took in a shaky breath.

He was making it so hard to move on...

Crappy chapter. Abrupt ending. Late update. I know!

I'm sorry but, I've been really blocked with this story and... yeah. I'm sorry! DX

On the bright side, my birthday's next month... I did not just say month... *slaps self* It's next week! Ugh, what's wrong with me...? I'm an idiot, lol. Also, on the 18th, is the one year mark of when I made this account. And if you've been reading my 'Jessica Wasabi' stories since I first started to post them, that means you been putting up with these stupid plot twists and late updates for a year...

Thank you.
