Kim's POV:
More tears fell in pain from the blade slicing across my skin. I was broken. Never to be put back together. Until one day, my best friend decided enough was enough...
5 years and Three months ago...
Jack's POV:
I was walking down the hall to my locker when I saw my worst nightmare. Kim being beat by her so called boyfriend, Brett. I just want to barf when I hear his name, and I had enough of him and their so called relationship.
Jack: hey!!! Get off her!!!!
I growled.
Brett: or what
He stated with a cocky smirk.
My blood boiled and my skin crawled at the sound of his scratchy and gravely voice, that had a slight amount of cocky-ness mixed with it. I hated it, with a major passion.
Jack: you have no idea what you are doing to her do you. She comes home everyday with a new bruise or a new fear. She cuts herself, and almost tried killing her self. All because of jerks like you.
Every word I said, was ice cold and dripping with venom
Brett: what kind of fear
He asked, and he almost sounded nervous
Jack: one that will leave her vulnerable later in life, a fear that will push her to the edge, and she won't want to exist any more....
It was icy, thick, and coated with venom, my intention. I gently picked up Kim's fragile body and walked to my car then drove to the hospital. Two weeks later there was the trial and he was sentenced to life in prison. She said she had no family. I said she could stay with me. She accepted. Since then, she's been terrified of other guys when they got mad at her. When we started dating, I promised to treat her like the queen she deserved to be and that I would never hurt her like the others did. But, then one night her dad found out where she was staying and beat her so bad she cut herself and tried drowning herself, I didn't let her.
Kim's POV:
I woke up in a white walled room. I instantly knew it was the hospital, I could tell by the smell of disinfectant. I saw Jack to my left, siting in the arm chair next to my bed. Looking up to see me awake, He crawled in the bed with me and said
Jack: Kim, stop fighting, you won
Kim: what?
Jack: you've won your toughest battle ...against your self,
He gently grabbed my wrist, holding it in his hand, he continued
Jack: and these are your battle scars,
Kim: I won
It came out as more of a question, I guess Jack sensed it by what he said next
Jack: yes, and these scars should stay as scars, not open wounds.
A week later I was released, and stayed with jack and finished school. My parents didn't care about me, but Jack's parents did, they loved me like I was one of their own. In ten days school would be let out for the summer. Right now I'm at my locker with Grace and Jack. Great Donna Tobin is walking over here! (note the sarcasm.)
Donna: hey Jackie!!! Kim.
She said my name with disgust, but the one thing she doesn't know is that Jack and I are dating. Oh this is going to be fun!! I turned to Jack and wrapped my arms around his waist in a hugging manner and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned against him, Donna gave me a weird look. I glanced up at Jack and said
Kim: jack?
Jack: ya babe
Kim: the bells about to ring, we need to head to class
Donna: wait, whats going on, why did you just call Kim 'babe'??
Jack: oh that's right you didn't know we're dating did you
Donna: no
She said in small voice, I laughed! Pulling away from his warm body, I yelled...
Kim: oh! Boom! Boom goes the dynamite! Boom! I said boom!
Then the bell rang,
Kim: oh! There's the bell. Come on Jack. Come on Grace.
I said grabbing his hand and intertwining our fingers and pulling grace by her wrist and we walked over to Eddie, Milton, and Jerry who had been waiting for us by the doors for health class along with Julie and Kelsey. Milton and Julie are dating just like Kelsey and Jerry ,Eddie and Grace. We walk in class and take our seats, soon drowning out what our teacher is saying. 45 boring minutes later we're out the door and we head to the cafeteria and to our table putting our bags down before getting in line for lunch. Jack put his arm around my shoulder and I put mine around his waist as Donna and Lindsay walk up. Donna started the conversation.
Donna: ok Jack you have two choices
Jack: ok
He said with uncertainty and curiosity.
Lindsay: one you hang out with us and not those losers
Donna: or two we hurt them
I laughed at her, again, for the second time today and said
Kim: I hope you don't break a nail.
I said while I got my self and the girls behind me into a fit of giggles and the guys biting back chuckles.
Donna: I won't!
She whined, trying to sound mad and confident.
Lindsay: so Jack what's your answer
Jack: I'm staying with my real friends and girlfriend ,not plastic Barbie doll wanna be's
Donna/ Lindsay: big mistake. FRANK!!!!!
Jack: oh we're so scared
He said sarcastically
Lindsay: you should be
Kim: no you should be
Donna: why
Kim: because I can do things you wouldn't think were possible ,so if I were you I'd walk away
Donna: or what
Kim: or I can beat you both to a pulp and leave you completely humiliated
Lindsay: we're not scared
With a snap of my fingers, the entire cheer quad was behind me with their arms crossed across their chests, i had moved my arms across my chest with jack's arm moving down to my waist. I was sending them death glares reserved for them alone.
Donna: we're still not scared
I could tell she was, her voice was shaky, her hands were sweating, and she was tapping her foot nervously
Kim: fine, whatever
I said annoyed and like I didn't care as I rolled my eyes. Frank walked over to me and tried and failed at hitting on me. Jack just flipped him. I giggled at his jealousy. What? It's hot and it shows how much he loves me. Anyway, I pulled him into a long awaited kiss. His hands going to my waist almost immediately. My arms snaking around his neck and my hands and fingers played with the ends of his hair. We were then pulled apart by Donna glaring at me with a disgusted look.
Donna: what are doing, because I know you're not kissing my boyfriend I glared at her and flipped her and said
Kim: no, I'm not kissing your boyfriend, I'm kissing MY boyfriend and please never interrupt me when I'm doing so
I hissed ,putting extra emphasis on my. The bell rang for 6th period. I had P.E. and so did the rest of the gang. Last day to dress out, but we had free play. So we played volleyball. Then the inevitable happened. We had a lock down drill. But this one was real. I wasn't paying attention. I was at a water fountain in the hallway. Some guy tried to grab me ,but I screamed bloody murder and as if on cue my amazing boyfriend ran in and kicked the guy who was holding me, making him stumble back and pushing me to the ground ,but Jack caught me.
Jack: are you ok
He asked as concern and worry flooded both his voice and eyes
Kim: I'm fine
I giggled as I reassured my worried boyfriend
Jack: ok, let's go
With that we ran back to his hiding spot. Donna ran over only to cling onto Jack and smirk ,in what she called 'victory' ,at me ,but it didn't bother me
Kim: move
The word all in its self was dripping with venom. I only had to say it once before she looked scared.
Donna: fine, but one thing before I go.
SHE. KISSED. JACK. Thankfully he didn't kiss back. I grabbed her by oh so fake blond hair extensions and pulled her away from him and kicked her in the stomach. I moved next to him, cuddling into his chest as he wrapped his arm securely around my waist. She walked away clutching her stomach. I smiled, victory is mine, then Julie spoke up
Julie: we should have a small party at Jack's place
Jerry: who should we invite
Kim: me, jack, you, Eddie, Kelsey, Milton, Julie, and Grace
Milton: sleep over or party?
Jack: sleep over
Julie: well, we can do karaoke, truth or dare, a scavenger hunt, and then at the end of night we can watch movies along with ordering pizza, and we can bring chips, sodas, popcorn, and candy for the movies.
Grace: yea, that sounds so fun!!!
Donna: what sounds fun
Kim: none of your business
Then the teachers called us out and everything was fine
Donna: I'm going to ask again, what sounds fun
Kim: we're having a small party at Jack's in a month and half.
Donna: I'm coming
Gang: no, you're not!!
Donna: yes I am and you can't stop me
She said as she and her friends walked passed us. Julie, Kelsey, Grace, and I shoot her death glares as she and her friends started flirting with OUR boyfriends. That made us mad beyond belief. Two weeks later at the school dance we each sang an original song. Mine was "threatened". I wrote it a few years ago. It's about a girl (donna) who always got what she wanted and then a new girl (me) came along and she(Donna) felt like her place as queen bee was threatened and this new girl (me) also got the attention of her ex-boyfriend (jack) ,who fell for the new girl and she (Donna) lost all she had, including her place as queen. I got up and sang my song. The other girls sang a song they wrote called "don't mess with me". It was about how the preps always flirted with their boyfriends and went too far one day. The girls took a chance and told them off, leaving the preps to fear them for the rest of the year. They sang and it was awesome.
Jerry: that was awesome
Donna: not really
Kim: no one asked you and go away
Announcer: and the winner is a tie between Kim and Julie, Grace, and Kelsey. You all get an all expensed paid trip to Hawaii for three weeks with the guest of your choice.
Kim: jack
Julie: Milton
Grace: Jerry
Kelsey: Eddie
The guys: yes!!!
The girls and I giggled. Two days later we were at the airport. We passed through security and we headed to the plane and we boarded and found our seats. We some how got paired with our boyfriends. We landed in Hawaii after a 9hr flight with Jerry snoring in front of us. We step off the plane and waited for our ride. When it pulled up it was a limo. The driver took our bags and we pilled into the limo. We drove to a five star resort. The couples shared presidential suites. They all had an ocean view. It was awesome. Those three weeks flew by and we were back in Seaford. We had the sleepover at Jack's and had a blast! The best part was, NO DONNA!!! We found out she was moved to a boarding school that has a very strict dress code and uniform. She posted a pic to Facebook and I literally fell of the bed laughing. I laughed so hard I started to cry, tears of joy of course.
Jack: I can't believe she finally got sent to a boarding school
Kim: I can't either, but I'm happy she's gone.
Jerry walked into Jack's room with a worried expression on his face.
Jerry: guys, I can't find Kelsey. I've texted, called, and left a voicemail. And came up empty
He stated while he tried to keep his voice from wavering.
Kim: I'll try calling her...
Donna managed to get into Jack's house, and scare us because we didn't know she was coming.
Donna: no need, you want her back right?
Jerry: yea, where is she you little witch?
He asked as anger and worry flooded his voice and eyes.
Donna: if Jack agrees to go on one date with me, I will tell you where your little friend is. If not, then no friend.
I look at Jack and he pulled me to the side and said
Jack: at least we Kelsey ba-
I cut him off
Kim: fine, say yes. But, when she leaves, we're going to follow her and I know she's going to where she's holding Kelsey. We wait until she leaves an then get Kelsey back for Jerry safe and unharmed.
Jack: that's a really good plan
We walked back over to Jerry and Donna.
Jack: yes, I will go on ONE date with you, Donna.
Donna: yay! Bye!
We waited, and then put our plan into action. We followed her to an abandoned factory. She was talking to Kelsey, who was tied up in a chair, with a gag in her mouth. She left. We ran in. And by we I mean the entire gang plus Rudy minus Kelsey.
Kim: Kelsey!!! You're alive!!! We have some who really wants to see you!!!
Jerry stepped forward and untied her pulled the gag out of her mouth before sighing with relief.
Jerry: thank goodness you're alright. Did she hurt you?
Kelsey: a little. She slapped me hard across the face.
He pulled her into a hug, squeezing her tightly, in fear she would disappear any moment. All of a sudden, five massive body guards walked in ready to fight. So were we. Ten minutes later, we beat them. Then ran out and to the dojo. The night after we found Kelsey, we forgot about our agreement to Donna. Thankfully, I had a back up plan. Donna met us at the dojo. As soon as she saw Jack, she screamed.
Donna: why aren't you ready for our date?!
Jack: oh, I'm canceling
Donna pulled out her phone and yelled
Donna: kill Kelsey!
????: we can't do that boss
Donna: why?
Kelsey walked out and said
Kelsey: because I'm right here.
Donna: how did you escape?
Kelsey: I had some...help
We all step around her
Kim: oh, and another thing, you're never getting that date with MY boyfriend.
After that, things went back to normal, school was out, we all graduated, with Milton and Julie obviously being at the top of our class. And now, five years later, Grace and I are the only ones not expecting one child. Yep, we're both having, twins. Our due dates are each a day apart. I'm third, Julie's first, Grace is last ,and Kelsey is second. We're all so happy. Oh! Did I forget to mention Jack and I are getting married four months before the babies are born. That's right, I'm going to be Kimberly Anne BREWER!!!! I'm so excited. My maid of honor is going to be Grace because she is my best friend ever. The wedding came and went, along with the honeymoon to Paris. Now that was fun! Now I'm waiting in the delivery room with Jack and his parents as the very painful contractions come and go. Finally it's time to bring our babies into this world. After 9 excruciatingly painful hours, both Drake and Rebecca are here. And the other girls were already here except for Kelsey. She's coming in tomorrow. And that Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the story of my life began.

THE END!
