When I went to bed last night Kim was with me. We did nothing we just lay together and talked about silly things. Kim stayed by my side until i went to sleep. I kept my arms around her and held her tight as she cried herself to sleep. Only i woke this morning alone and i have no idea where Kim could be.

I glanced over to her vacant chair in our home room wondering where Kim could be. She never once mentioned to me that she was planning going to go off by herself. Normally i wouldn't worry but she has been through a lot lately. For the past half hour i had been sketching in the back of my planner, not paying attention to what daft notices were being read out.

Something tapped the back of my head.

"Yo dude!" Jerry called. "Any ideas where Kim is?"

I shrugged my shoulders as he appeared by my side folding up a paper aeroplane.

"Come on its lunch now" he said. "Milton has left without us"

I nodded not saying another word. I couldn't concentrate or think about anything else. Kim could defend herself but with her being pregnant I didn't know if it would cause more problems or affect her in her karate.

"She'll be okay" Milton said as we sat down with him at our usual table in the far corner of the canteen.

I nodded. I feel like i don't need to be here. I don't want to be here. What is the point when i am not concentrating, not focusing and only worrying about Kim.

I stood up my lunch half eaten. "I can't do this i have to check if she is okay"

I ran out of the canteen before Milton had the chance to try convince me not to leave school. I made one quick stop at my locker for my skateboard and i left school not bothering about the consequences. In truth i wasn't going to come today anyway i wanted to keep Kim company but because she wasn't there when i got up, i thought that she might have come to school to distract herself from everything. Obviously i was wrong but at least that was one less place to look now. I just didn't know where would be the most likely place Kim would go to be alone.

I didn't know what her state of mind would be right now. And that kind of scares me. I couldn't predict what Kim's plans would be now that she is released from the hospital, she definitely could be doing anything.

"He's watching" Lucas' words echoed in my head. His warning still strong in my mind. Hopefully he is not watching Kim now. Hopefully he has given up. I don't know how much more Kim can actually take before she looses everything she believes in.

I started with the hospital. After all that happened it was the one place that Kim had felt safe, so safe that she didn't really want to leave yesterday. Saraiya hadn't seen Kim and she asked me if Kim was upset or anything like that, but i had no answer to give. I couldn't be sure about anything right apart from the fact that my heavily pregnant best girl friend is missing and i want to find her as soon as i can.

I left the hospital, promising Saraiya that i would phone her when i eventually find Kim - She promised to do the same if Kim turned up there,I made a decision. Kim would probably want to go somewhere that has meaning so I headed towards the docks.

I just hope that i will find her soon.

I skated around the docks slowly taking my time to look all over the place in case Kim decided to hide from me. I won't hold my breath though, especially right now because of Kim's disappearing act. I searched everywhere but still no luck in finding Kim.

It brought back a horrible nightmare for me being hit over the head by that jackass. No-one had been in here since the forensic offers, no one had cleaned up the pools of blood which were obviously mine and a blood splattering which was Kim's. No i don't blame Kim for not coming back here. I wouldn't want anyone to relive this nightmare at all.

My shoulders slumped in defeat. I had hoped it would be easy to find Kim but i should have known better. If Kim didn't want to be found it wouldn't be easy to find her.

"Stop it" i snapped out loud, shaking my doubt away.

I got on my skateboard and went round all of Kim's favourite places to get even a small little clue that would at least help me in my search for Kim.

The only problem was that Kim hadn't spoken to any of our friends from school since this whole thing started. That is the reason why i didn't bother to ask anyone if they had seen her because I knew Kim would have kept herself to herself, maybe even kept herself to the shadows just so she could keep herself safe.

My phone rung louder and louder.

"Hi" I said

"Hi Jack any luck?" Milton asked.

"No I've been almost everywhere: no sign of her at the docks, the dojo, the hospital or the mall" i told him

"Well Jack do you remember what Kim said at the hospital..."

I rubbed my face "Of course I know where she has gone"
