I have learnt something about myself that I have never realised before: I am really impatient especially when it comes to my friends. It may make me act like a tyrant or whatever but it is true, I do care about my friends. And one of them gets hurt we all get hurt.

I waited outside the surgery until Kim was wheeled out. Her surgery went well into the night so everybody else went home. I knew if I left I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway so I stayed here for my piece of mind. The doctor stopped to tell me that Kim has had some blood infection thanks to the gunshot wound to her leg. He explained that it was going to take time for Kim to heal and he was doubtful that she would ever be able to perform karate again or continue to be a cheerleader due to the damage already done. Kim is going to be devastated when she finds out. Or she is going to be motivated to prove the doctors wrong.

The doctor settled Kim into her room. "The anaesetic will wear off soon but be aware she will not be herself straight away. I will come and explain everything to her properly once its given time to wear off."

He left me alone with Kim. They had cleaned all the blood off her so now she just like she was sleeping, like this never happened. I sat holding her hand and talking about random stuff.

There was a knock at the door. A man and a woman entered brandishing FBI badges.

"Jack Brewer I'm Eric McKnight and this is my partner Sara Avery" the man introduced.

I nodded in acknowledgement.

"We're investigating the shootings at your school. We need you to answer a few questions to help us with our investigation" Avery said.

I nodded "Sure anything to help you but can we do this outside? Kim could wake up at any moment and I would rather she didn't relive it"

"We understand" Avery said.

I reluctantly left Kim's side. As much as I didn't want her to be alone, I thought it would better than unintentionally reminding her about yesterday.

They sat on the chairs outside Kim's room. I stood, watching Kim through the small window into her room, keeping my back to them. I leaned on the glass using my arm. "What do you need to know?"

"tell us what happened"

"I don't know where to start" I answered truthfully.

"How long have you known Frank?" Avery asked.

"Four years. Kim used to practice at his dojo, on his team the Black Dragons, before I moved here. I was recruited by their rivals Wasabi Warriors to help them keep their dojo." I explained. "Ever since we won that tournament which let us keep our dojo we've had a rivalry with the Black Dragons. They have not stopped causing us trouble and Frank is their ringleader. It made it worse when Kim found out Frank was planning to do something to us and she changed to our dojo. Frank was furious with her. I think he was jealous of my friendship with Kim."

"What about yesterday? What was so different?"

I shrugged my shoulders "i guess he thought enough was enough. You see he made it clear what his feelings for Kim were. Only Kim didn't reciprocate his feelings" I sighed and turned to face the two detectives "he was always trying to get her attention, ask her out every day but we always laughed because we thought he wasn't serious about it. We thought it was a joke. Kim never felt the same way about him. But today, something was different about him but I didn't know what. I had a weird feeling but I pretty much have the same feeling each day when he approaches Kim. Kim was more confident in baiting him, she was with Donna most of the day and her confidence must have rubbed off on Kim." paused for a moment, my throat dry, I took a sip of water from a water cooler. I then returned to Kim's window to check on her. "I don't know what happened exactly in the library as I was revising with Jerry and Milton in the hall of the science labs. Suddenly gunshots rang out across the whole school. We were evacuated along with everybody else in school. We were stood outside when a bullet shattered a window in the library. That's when we realised that we couldn't see our girls standing amongst the crowd outside. We knew we had to do something to save them"

A wiped a tear back before it rolled down my cheek.

"Is there anything else?" Avery asked.

"You already know the rest" I replied "Now if that is everything than I need to get back to Kim, she was alone too long in that library"

I didn't wait for their reply. I needed to get back to Kim. I could have sworn that I saw her finger move as I replied to Avery but that was probably wishful thinking. I want her to wake up so much that my brain tricked my eyes into seeing it.

"Jack..." she croaked as I closed the door behind me. "The library, Frank, Donna, Jerry oh my god my leg" she cried.

She was having a panic attack.

I rushed over to her and grabbed her hands. "Look at me right at me that's it. Kim you are okay you are in hospital relax Frank isn't going to hurt you any time soon."

She burst into tears collapsing forward in to my arms. "Was it my fault?"
