Chapter 8:Too good at goodbyes

"Ron, can I talk to you please?"

Ron was standing at his locker his back turned to Kim but he could still hear the pain in her voice.

"Hey Kim…"He didn't turn and look at her because he was afraid of what he would see. Kim wouldn't have it though and turned him around so that he could talk to her. He looked in her eyes and immediately regretted why.

Her eyes bore the look of someone deeply betrayed, someone whose heart had finally broken beyond repair. Ron felt like he was the scum of the earth because he knew that he was the cause of all that pain but a nasty little part of his brain reminded Ron that she was the one who had broken up with him.

"I need to hear this from your mouth Ron. Are you and Bonnie together?"

"Yeah we are"

"Why her? Is it to get back at me because of all those other guys or is it because I broke up with you? Why couldn't you choose anyone else?"

Kim's eyes were tearing up as she was speaking and a crowd was forming so Ron took her hand and led her away to an empty classroom.

"Kim what I feel for Bonnie is strange and exciting but I didn't choose her just to get back at you. You were the only girl I loved for the longest time and after you broke up with me I felt lower than low. You were my reason to smile every single day and now Bonnie is my reason."

"Let me be your reason again Ron, I promise I'll be a better girlfriend."

Before Ron could reply Kim's Kimmunicator began buzzing and they had to go save the world from monkey fist one more time.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Bonnie saw Ron and Kim go into the classroom together but she wasn't worried. She trusted that Ron wouldn't cheat on her.

"What do you think Kim wants to tell Ron?"

Tara was walking beside Bonnie and was really surprised that her friend didn't look more worried.

"I don't really know but I think Kim wants to get Ron back."

"And you aren't worried that Ron is going to choose her over you? Everyone is saying that as soon as she apologises Kim is going to snatch Ron away from you."

"Kim couldn't take Ron away from me even if she was the hottest woman in the world. What Ron and I have isn't just a silly little crush."

"Neither is what they had. They've been best friends since pre-K. Feelings like that don't just go away."

And for the first time in a long time Bonnie was worried that someone would take away the guy she liked. The more she thought about it the more likely it seemed that Kim would win. Maybe she should push Ron away.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Shego was a bit conflicted a feeling she didn't like at all. She had been stalk…carefully observing Ron for a while now and she still wasn't sure how she was going to win him over. He had moved on from Kim to Bonnie too fast for her to properly assess the situation but Shego was nothing if not intelligent.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Monkey fist wasn't much of an issue as usual just him trying to steal some priceless artefact or other but the silence in the plane on their way home was a very big issue.

As Ron was walking Kim home she asked

"Are you still staying at Bonnie's house?"

As far as ice breakers go this was the worst one ever.

Ron just sighed and nodded his head. He was at a loss with Kim and wasn't sure what to do to restore their friendship. He hadn't looked her in the eyes since they were in school and he was in no rush to do so. Kim's eyes looked so empty that monkey fist had even asked her if she was OK. He had even proposed to reschedule his plans until she was better. Honestly villains are such good people; if only misunderstood by the rest of us.

"Ron…one day I will win you back no matter how long it takes. I don't care if you are with Bonnie at that time or Shego or even Monique. I wasted so much time chasing after guys who weren't the ones for me. It's always been you Ron and I don't care how many girls you have to go through before you realise that I'm the only one for you."

Kim's heartfelt statement caught Ron completely unprepared and so did the kiss she planted on his lips before leaving him and going home.

He walked to Bonnie's house eager to wrap his arms around her and forget all thoughts of Kim.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

When he got in he found Bonnie at the piano playing a song he immediately recognised. He let her play and didn't tell her that he had come in

You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)

No way that you'll see me cry
(No way that you'll see me cry)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
No

No, no, no, no, no
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)

[Pre-Chorus]
You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

[Chorus]
No way that you'll see me cry
I'm way too good at goodbyes

[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]
You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

[Chorus]
No way that you'll see me cry
I'm way too good at goodbyes

[Chorus]
No way that you'll see me cry
I'm way too good at goodbyes

[Lyrics from: ]

Ron immediately understood why she was singing this…he might not be quick on the uptake but he did understand music. He didn't say a word just waked up to her and kissed her.

It wasn't the most passionate of kisses but it did tell Bonnie one thing…she was stuck with Ron for the foreseeable future and that was exactly what she wanted.

"Bonnie you aren't getting rid of me that easily. Like I told Kim today you are my reason to smile."

Bonnie felt herself blush. Ron was good for her.
