It's okay to be scared Chapter 5 (Really long), a kickin' it fanfic

Hey guys I'm gonna try to update my stories as fast as possible. I wrote a new one and I'm taking over someone else's story so, please, give me some time. I'm trying to make all my chapter updates long.

Disclaimer : I don't own Kickin It or any of the songs I post in chapters.

By the way some of you may be wondering why a decent amount of my stories have to with abuse. The reason why is because I'm against abuse. I think it's wrong of someone to do that to one another. Whether it's a husband to a wife, a mother/father to a daughter/son, a boyfriend to a girlfriend (sometimes it's the other way around, but it's more like the bf to the gf. Same goes for husband & wife).

I figured to test this theory on wether he likes me or not.

"Kim, why don't you just tell him."

"You know why. He's dating Cathy. He deserves someone better than me. Besides he doesn't even like me , so why on earth would I tell Jack how I feel about him."

Then something happens. Something not at all part of the plan.

Jack comes out from behind the wall "Well, you'll never know what I'd say if you don't."

I slowly turn around with my eyes wide "Hey Jack. Gotta go." I turn around and run.

Chapter 5: Jack's POV

"Hey Jack. Gotta go." Then she turned around and ran.

"WAIT! KIM?!" The guys come out from behind the wall "Dude, what was that all about?" Jerry says. "Oh, man. What's wrong with me?! I probably just ruined everything didn't I."

They nod and Grace sits next to me "It's not too late to go after her and fix everything" she says. "She's right. We know you like her...A LOT! So go get your dream girl!" Julie says. I smile "Thanks guys" I say as I run in the direction Kim ran in. By the time I finished running I ended up in the schools garden, Kims favorite place. I quietly walk up behind her and tap her shoulder.

(Jack, Kim)

She turns around and her eyes go wide. She was about to turn and run but I grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

"JACK! LET ME GO!" she screams. "NO! We have to talk" I say to her calmly. She stops struggling to get out of my grip. "No, we don't. I already know what you're going to say. So I might as well save myself the heart ache." "Kim you don't know what I would say. Can I at least tell you what I would say?"

She looked at the ground and sighed "Fine, but I already know what you're going to say." I shake my head "Kim, I don't like you-" she cut me off "I knew it. Just leave me alone." She gets out of my grip and tries to run back into school, but I grab her wrist and spin her around. Then I do something I never thought I'd do.

I smashed my lips into hers and after 10 seconds she kissed back. The kiss was full of love and passion. It was blissful and sweet. At that moment it felt like we were the only people left in the world.

My arms snaked around her waist and her went around my neck. It's a good thing we're at lunch I thought. She slowly pulls away from the kiss smile slightly. "You didn't let me finish. I don't like you I love you." Her eyes widen "Y-You do?!" I nod "Well when I said that I liked you..it was an understatement. I love you too."

I was about to kiss her again but she said "Stop!" I looked at her confused "Jack, you're dating Cathy. And you kissed me. That's cheating. " "Kim-" "Oh My God Now you two are gonna break up" "Kim calm-" " I don't want you guys to break up because of me. Oh My God." "KIM! Calm down" She stops her rant and looks at me "Kim I broke up with Cathy this morning." "You did?!" I nod.

She smiles and I hug her close. When we pull away she says "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you choose me? There are so many other girls that are better then me, that you can have, and you choose me."

"Because you're the only girl who loves me for me, not for my looks. Because everything about you is real. You're real. And you're beautiful, outgoing, smart, strong and so much more Kim."

"You really think all of those things about me?" I nod.

"I don't deserve you Jack. I'm just some ugly, pathetic, worthless girl who no one cares about." I was shocked by what just came out of her mouth.

"No you're not Kim, and people care about you. The guys, Me, Grace, Mika, and Julie, Rudy, your parents"

I saw a tear roll down her cheek but didn't bring it up.

"Are you always this insecure about yourself?"

She nods "But they're not insecurities if they're true."

"Kim, listen to me, none of that is true. Whoever told you that, they don't what they're talking about. I love you just the way you are.

You may think you're ugly, but in reality you're beautiful. And believe me you're not worthless, because I can't live without you"

She smiles and sheds a few tears before pulling me into another kiss. When we break apart I say "Kim would you do me the honor of making my dream come true. That you will finally be mine"."Of course I would. And believe me the honor is all mine." She says.

We walk back into school hand-in-hand we head to our lockers to wait for the gang so we can head to class. Since our lockers are right next to each other we didn't have to let go. The gang walks up to us . "Hey guys" Kim and I say unison with our hands still intertwined, but the gang didn't notice.

"Hey. So did you guys work everything out?" Donna asks. We nod and Grace asks "Is everything okay between you two ?" "Couldn't be any better." I say. "What do you mean?" Milton says. Kim and I hold up our intertwined hands and the gangs eyes widen as the gasp. "Wait, so you two are...a couple!" Mika says. We nod and everyone starts screaming and jumping up and down.

Kim and I laugh at their reactions. Jerry says "WE GOTTA TELL EVERYONE!" and he runs into the cafeteria with everybody following him. All of a sudden the only thing you hear is "KICK PREVAILED! KICK! KICK! KICK! KICK!" The bell rang meaning lunch is over and that little fiasco is over and done with.

The whole gang has music after lunch so we walk to music class. Everyone kept smiling, exchanging money, and squealing and or screaming. When we arrived at music we all sit next to each other. Ms. Swift says "Ok class. We're going to do a project. I will pick two names out of a hat and those two people will be partners for this project." We all nod as she picks the first two names "Jerry and Grace." "Nick and Miley" "Luke and Bella" "Anna and Tony "Julie and Eddie" "Milton and Emma" "Jack and Mika" "Donna and Randy" "And lastly Kim and Brody".

Normally I would be mad that Kim's going to be working with Brody. But we're on good terms now, because I know he likes Donna not Kim. "Okay class for the project I want each group to create something that represents music or is music. You can do a dance number, an art presentation, write a song or perform a cover of one, a power point anything basically. This is the last grade before Thanksgiving break. So it's going to count double. You can start working or brainstorming now. The project will be due next Tuesday. So you have 1 week. I'll give you the rest of the period."

Everyone switched seats so they can sit next to their partner. I sat next to Mika and we started thinking of what we could do.

Kims' POV

Since Brody and I are already sitting next to each other we just start working. "Okay, so I was thinking maybe we could write a song. Or do a cover." I say "I like the idea of writing it." Brody says. "Okay, so you wanna start working on the music and lyrics tonight or tomorrow?" I ask "Tonight is good" He says.

*Line Skip*

The bell just rang signaling the end of the school day. Brody and Julie are the only two that I have History with. "Come over my house at 3 and we can get started." (It's 2:40) He nods and says "See ya later." I go to my locker and grab my Trig book and my science book & notebook, and make my way out of school.

My house is almost 6 miles from school, so it's a semi-long walk. As I was walking I remembered my dad was in NY for a week, I silently thank God, now I don't have to run home. I grab my Ipod and headphones and start listening to my music. *Music starts playing*

"If This Was A Movie"

Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Wrapped up in your arms and our friends were laughing
'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them,
Now I'm pacing down the hall, chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me,
"Nothing's gonna change, not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose"

If you're out there,
If you're somewhere,
If you're moving on,
I've been waiting for you.
Ever since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before.
And I just wanna see you back at my front door.
And I say

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would before you said it's not that easy
Before the fight, before I locked you out
But I take it all back now

You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby, what about the ending
Oh, I thought you'd be here by now, whoa
Thought you'd be here by now

Until the song finished I didn't even realize I singing along. After about 15 or so minutes I am in front of my house. I open the door and I am met with a comfortable silence. I smile to myself knowing that I can have some peace for once. I walked into the kitchen only to be with a big suprise.

Standing there was my dad with his arms crossed and a very pissed off expression. I gulp and he grabbed my shirt and pushed me against the wall. He punched me in the gut and slapped me across the face. He let me drop to the ground "WHERE WERE YOU?!" I tried to answer but he punched me so hard that I couldn't even talk. He grabbed my arm and twisted it. I screamed in agony "ANSWER ME BITCH!"

He grabbed his whip and swung it at my stomach. Everything seemed to go into slow motion. Blood gushed out of my wound and I fell on my back. I felt like I was going to pass out any second. My father took a gun out his belt holster and shot the ceiling above me. He smiled evily and exited the house. I started seeing colorful dots everywhere, but I felt myself being lifted up and carried away just before the ceiling gave through.

I looked up to see who carried me away. When I looked up I saw Brody, a colorful Brody, but Brody non the less. I smiled faintly before my body shut down.

Brody's POV (starts off a couple minutes before)

I walked up to Kim's front, and I was about knock when I heard someone scream "WHERE WERE YOU?!" I back away from the door, suddenly very curious and slightly confused, and walk around the house to the back door. Luckily it was unlocked. I step quietly through the door as I hear a scream. I get closer to the sound and peer my head around the corner.

What I saw scared me for life. I saw Kim falling to the ground holding her bleeding stomach, and a man in front of her holding a whip. The man looked a little like Kim. Maybe that's her father. Anyway the man pulls a gun out and holds it up to the ceiling and then pulls the trigger. He exits the house and as he closes the door I run to Kim's side.

I take a look at her stomach and automattically regret it. I can't even describe how disturbing the sight is. I look up and see that the ceiling is about to crack. I quickly pick up Kim bridal style and move out of the way. I run out the front door and Kim looks up at me.

She smiles faintly at me before her body goes limp. I stop running and sit on the side walk with Kim on my lap. I grab my phone and map quest the nearest hospital. It's literally just around the corner. I put my phone away, pick up Kim an run to the hospital. Once I get through the doors I scream "HELP! I NEED A DOCTOR NOW!"

A nurse and a doctor come in my direction. Their eyes widen ans the nurse gets a gurney while the doctor says to me "What happened to her?!" "I don't know. I went over to her house to work on a project and found her like this under a ceiling that was about to fall through." I partcially lie "Can you help her?" I ask. "We can try. Set her down on the gurney." I do as he says and they rush her into the emergency room.

The nurse told me to wait in a special waiting room. She leads me to the waiting room and says she'll tell me when she has any news. I slump down into a chair and take out my phone again. I dial Jack's phone number and wait for him to pick up.

*Ring...Ring...Rin- "Hey Brody. What's up?"

Jack's POV

I'm at the dojo with the gang waiting for Rudy to show up. The big tournament is in 3 days and Rudy wants us to practice hard. Kim told Rudy that she's gonna be late. We're all stretching on the mats wondering where Rudy could be. My phone starts ringing and Jerry tosses it to me. Milton says "Who is it?" I look at the caller ID and say "It's Brody"

I press the 'answer' button and say "Hey Brody. What's up?" into the phone. "Hey Jack is everyone with you?" He says "Yeah why?" I say "You guys need to come to St. Anne's hospital on Jackson Street." He says "Why? What happened?" I ask "Kim's in the hospital." I freeze and my eyes widen "We'll be right there." and I hang up.

I rush to my locker and grab my bag. "Jack what's wrong?" Rudy says. I didn't even know he was here. "Kim's in the hospital. We have to go. NOW!" We all rush out of the dojo into Rudy's van. "Which hospital is she at?" Rudy says "St. Anne's on Jackson Street." He speeds out of the parking lot and we make our way to the hospital. "Isn't St. Anne's in like 40 minutes away from the mall?" Grace asks. Rudy nods and says "Yeah, but if there's traffic, about an hour." You see Seaford has two hospital Seaford Hospital, a community hospital people are sent to if St. Anne's is too busy.

St. Anne's is on the other side of town. Seaford is a huge town. It's the biggest city in California. Wait how do I know that?! I have been spending way to The only thought running through my head is if Kim is okay? (AN: I was gonna end it here, but I'm gonna make it longer for you guys.)

Brody's POV

"We'll be right there." He said and then he hung up. I put my phone in my pocket and exhaled. The doctor came out and asked to have a word with me. I walk over to him "What's your name son?" he says "I'm Brody Carlson." I say.

"Well, Brody, Ms. Crawford is more injured than you might have thought. She has various bruises, almost everywhere on her body. The are many burns on her back, and a couple on her arms and legs. There are so many scars, old and new, and cuts everywhere on her body. Her face had make-up on it. When we removed it...the sight was un-bareable. Do you know where she got all of these?" He said I shake my head 'no' "No, I don't. I didn't even know about it."

"Well we cleaned all of the cuts and we did our best to treat the bruises and burns. She has two very long cuts on her stomach. We stopped the bleeding, but she's needs stiches on them as soon as possible and she need stiches for the cut on her cheek as well. Though there is a slight chance that she could fall in to a coma after we put in the stiches.

Reason being she lots a tremendous amount of blood, and when you brought her here she almost did fall into a coma, but we put blood into her system. She will lose even more blood during the surgery, the chance is not that big, but it's still a chance." He says.

"How much of a chance, and how long will the surgery take?" I ask "Well about 35% chance, and they are preparing her now, so the surgery should take about half an hour." I nod and he says "I'll come and get you when the surgery is over." he walks away and I walk back into the waiting room.

* Half an hour later still Brody's POV *

I am tapping my foot impaitently. I'm getting nervous. I look down the hall and see the doctor coming out of the doors. I stand up and he walks over to me with a smile. "Everything went perfectly. She's awake and you can see her if you want. She's in room 347. If you go down this halway, take a right, it's the third door on the left." he says.

"Thank you doctor." I fast walk into the direction of Kim's room. I slowly open the door and see Kim lying down on the hospital bed. I pull up a chair next to her bed and ask "How ya feeling?" She shruggs "Okay, I guess. I'm in pain, but other than that, okay." I slightly chuckle "Thank you" She says "For what?"I ask "For saving me." "Anytime." I say

"The doctor told me something interesting." I say "Oh yeah, like what?" she asks "He said that you have burns, cuts, brusies, and scars almost everywhere on your body. Mind explaining? I saw what that man did to you with the whip and the gun. Who was that?" I ask.

She takes a deep breath and bites her lip. "Brody..I-I can't...tell you. I can't tell anybody." She says "Kim, come on, what is going on?! Why can't you tell anybody?!" I say "Because I can't! Nobody will understand and besides if I tell anyone. Everything I love and care about...will be taken from me, and I'll be lonely." she says.

"Kim come on. What's so bad that you can't even trust one of your best friends?" I say. "Brody...If-If I tell you...you have to promise, you have to swear on your life that you will never ever tell ANYONE. Okay?" I nod and she takes another deep breath. "For the past 9 years...my dad has been abusing me."

And that's a wrap for this chapter. So tell me what you think on this chapter. I'm still working on the next chapters for some stories, but I'll try to get them up A.S.A.P

Peace-Out! :P
