(A/N) Hey. So um this weekend I spent 62 hours (counting Friday) straight outside in the cold for a Girl Guide camp. Life kinda sucked then. And then I sprained my ankle. My life officially sucks... I wrote most of this in PE because I can't do anything due to my sprained ankle. Anyway, this chapter has a bit of kick in it. You've been warned.
Jack
My life officially sucks. I have a bullet in my arm, I can't do Karate, and I just got a phone call from my mom. My dad just died. In a car crash. Why must you hate me God? Seriously, could life get any worse? I don't feel like leaving my room today, or seeing anyone for that matter. Okay maybe I'd like to see Kim but that's about it. I just feel like breaking down and crying. I'm probably going to. Life is not a fun time for me right now.
There was a knock on my door. I didn't answer. It was probably somebody else coming to give me more bad news. The door opened to reveal Claira's worried face.
"Jack? What's wrong?"
"A lot of thing, I don't really want to talk about it."
"Well I'm supposed to tell you that you and Kim have to go to a formal supper with the prime minister, his family, and his associates." She said.
"Okay." I said trying not to sound sad.
She left and I just broke down. I don't know what came over me but I guess that was my last straw. I didn't want around many people today, just Kim and maybe Claira, but not the prime minister and his family. I guess my life can get worse can't it.
~o0o~
Kim
I cannot believe my mother. She's making me go to this stupid formal supper tonight with Jack as my escort. I guess that part isn't that bad because I get to be with Jack. Speaking of Jack, where is he? I walked in the direction of Jack's room. I bumped into Claira.
"Kim, I just told Jack about the supper. When I went in he looked pretty upset, you should go check on him."
"Okay" I said and then walked toward his room.
I knocked on his door. There was no answer. I waited a bit and then opened the door. The sight I saw was something that I was not expecting. Jack was sitting on the edge of his bed with his head resting in his hands, crying.
I rushed towards him and put a comforting arm around his shoulders and asked him, "Jack? What's wrong?"
That just made him cry harder. I'd never really seen a guy cry before and I can tell you that I don't want to see it again. It just makes you sad. Jack is one of the strongest people I know. If he's crying thenviit must be pretty bad.
For a moment we just sat there and then he choked out "M-my d-dad ju-just p-passed aw-away." His voice filled with sadness.
That couldn't be! Mr. Anderson was one of the coolest people I knew. He was also one of the strongest. I always assumed that's where Jack got it from. He couldn't be dead.
"Oh, Jack. That's terrible, is there anything I can do?"
He shook his head, "No. Just stay here with me."
I nodded and said, "I will but we can't stay inside forever... Maybe we should go out into the courtyard? Besides, it's more private out there and my mother isn't out there to annoy the shit out of both of us."
He nodded and got up. I quickly followed. I grabbed his hand and we started to walk around the garden. We talked about all of the stuff we did back in San Jose. How much we missed Milton, Jerry, Eddie, and Rudy. About our families. We talked about a lot of things. Things that made both of us cry, both happy and sad tears.
I don't know how long we were out there but before I knew it I saw Claira walking toward us.
"You two need to go get ready for dinner. I know this is a bad time and I'm sorry about your dad Jack." She said, her voice filled with sympathy.
"How do you know about my dad?" Jack asked curiously.
She laughed like that was the funniest thing she had ever heard and said, "Please, I work for the biggest monarchy in the world, I know everything. If I were you Kim, I'd hurry up and get to your room. Don't want to anger your dear old mummy do you?" and then walked away.
"Well I guess we better get going then... See you in a few hours." I said.
"Yeah, see you in a bit." He said.
(A/N) I'm sorry it's a bit short, but in my defense it's 12:30 on a school night and I have 2 exams tomorrow... Anyway, who watched Wazombie warriors? Was it not the best thing ever made? I almost chocked on the fluff but that's alright... I''M SO EXCITED FOR SOUL BROTHERS! Who else is? Outfits are on my profile for those of you who care...
