Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I read the reviews, most saying that you guys were confused. So, I'm going to try to finish the story today. But, really, I'm grounded and not supposed to be on the computer. I'm trying though.
Jack POV
Being sick is not fun. I had to miss school yesterday and the entire school was talking about this big project that is supposed to last the whole year. I was told that Kim was supposed to come by my house yesterday to drop off her notes so I could learn about it. But she didn't. I had to go in early to go to all my teachers and find out about it.
'Thanks Kim.' I thought, smiling. When I walked into my first period class, Kim was there. So was a police officer, talking to my teacher.
'Uh oh.' I thought, trying to back out of the room. Of course, as luck has it, I backed up into a wall, making a ton of noise. They all looked at me.
"Um… sorry." I said standing up. Kim turned to the police officer and whispered something in his ear. The police officer turned to me and walked forward.
'What did I do?' I thought as the officer walked up to me.
"May we please talk to you? In private?" He asked. I nodded. Kim walked up to me and gave me a hug. She didn't let go.
"Um, Kim?" I asked.
"Let's go." Said the officer. I started walking down the hallway. Kim was holding my hand. Jerry and Eddie were walking by.
"I knew you two would be together." Jerry said.
"Nice one Jack." He said, coming up to high-five me. Kim hid behind me and hugged me until I couldn't breathe. I looked back at her.
"Oh, okay. I'll let you two get back to… you know." Jerry said, walking off with Eddie. Kim was still holding on to me. I started walking again and she did too, but this time, she didn't let go. We walked into the nurse's office with the police officer and sat down on the bed. Kim was pushed super close against me. Tears were slowly falling from her eyes. I knew better than to tease her.
"So, what's wrong?" I asked the officer.
"You see, your friend, Kim, she's distressed."
"I can see that." The officer starred me down. His eyes said,
"Talk again and you won't be one happy camper." I gulped.
"Yesterday, she was walking to your house from school. A van kidnapped her." I blinked, making sure that I didn't just hear that. But he kept going.
"They assaulted her." Kim shuddered, as if she remembered.
"And you need someone to watch her?" I asked. He nodded.
"From class to class. School to home. Even at home." He raised an eyebrow. I put my arm around Kim. She started bawling but she held on to me for dear life.
"It's okay." I said, rubbing her back.
"It's okay."
