Authors Note: This is a stand-alone hopefully. The song I used is "My Strongest Weakness" by The Judd's.

A stray tear slid down Tommy's cheek as he looked out over the crystal waters of the lake. She's gone. That was the only thing that went threw his shattered mind as he crossed his arms protectively. Kimberly Hart his world, some days his reason for even getting out of bed was gone. She had left him with a cold letter like she had never cared about him at all. I guess she didn't care about me at all...I wasn't even good enough to get a phone call. Oh god why? After all we've been threw together...she's gone. It wasn't fair, she had always been there for him, stuck by him no matter what, so what changed? Why was she gone? Why did she not love him anymore? Tommy sighed as he took a seat on the cool sand and pulled his knees up to his chin as he watched the sun light up the sky with multi colored rays.

Tommy smiled as he looked at the laughing Kat as Rocky was wiping the mustard that Jason had split on him off his paints. Jason just shrugged as he said, "You shouldn't have said that I was boring!"

Tommy smiled as he got in on the joke "But Jason you ARE boring!"

Jason glared at him "Watch it Oliver I know where you live."

Tommy smirked "I am so scared really I am see I'm shaking." After he said this he acted as though he was shaking.

Jason threw his napkin at him as Rocky pouted, "He gets a napkin thrown at him and I get mustard spilt on me who else thinks this is not fair?"

Jason smiled "He can kick my ass and you can't so yea it is pretty much fair wouldn't you think so Tommy?"

Tommy however didn't answer him as the news announcer on the near by TV caught his attention "A local teen girl won the gold medal in balance beam at the Pan Globels last night. Kimberly Hart was chosen to go to Florida and compete with other top gymnasts from around the world. She took home one gold medal, and two sliver medals." A video clip started showing of Kim finishing her routine and realizing that she had won. Tommy felt his heart break as her face lit up with the smile he had all ways loved as she ran straight into the arms of another boy and kissed him long and hard. The clip ended as the news anchors took back over "My John she looks happy with her boyfriend."

"Why yes she does Lisa, that was fellow gymnast Mark Peterson and there are defiantly sparks there. In other news today a house caught fire in downtown Angel Grove and police say it was arson."

Tommy turned away from the television as tears started stinging at his eyes. He looked around at the rangers who were looking at him with pity in there eyes "I have to I promised my uncle that I would help him with cleaning the guitars." Tommy quickly got up from his seat and bolted from the youth center before anyone could say anything. He sadly walked threw park on his way home as he miserably thought I still love her. God why does it still hurt? I should be over her by now; it's been six months for god's sake. I should love Kat she is everything I could ever want and she will stick by me...so why do I still love Kimberly? He sighed as he walked on feeling more alone then he had ever felt before.

Tommy sighed as he threw his red duffel bag down on his bed and then fell next to it. He sighed as he rolled over on his side and tucked his hands under his head. He had just won a charity competition that would keep the shelter open so why wasn't he happy? Why did he not feel like partying with the others? He had used the excuse that he was too tired to party but if he was completely honest with himself it was because she was there. Kim had surprised them all when she came back to Angel Grove for a surprise visit. At first Tommy had thought that they would finally get to talk about what happened between them and why they grew a part but that had not happened.

Instead every minute he was around her she would beagle the group with stories of Mark and how wonderful he was, not caring that Tommy's heart broke a little more at each word. He wanted to be the one kissing her, holding her, and encouraging her. He wanted to be the one that Kim bragged about, the she loved. He was at one time and he wished that he could be that again. He wished that she would look at him the way she used to, that he just had one more day with her. He should feel awful for feeling this way still he was with Kat now but he didn't love her. It was just a matter of time before she found someone that loved her back and then she all so would leave him.

Tommy had told the flimsy excuse to the group when the they were all getting ready to head to Tanya's house to talk some more. Instead Tommy left the youth center and headed home not wanting to hear anymore. He shut his eyes as a tear slid out of one and crawled down his face slowly as he realized that he would never love anyone else but Kim.

Tommy sighed tiredly as he dropped his red backpack beside his computer and plopped down his computer chair. It had been a very long day and all Tommy wanted to do was curl up in his nice warm dorm room bed and go to sleep. He had mid terms coming up and they were stressing him out more then usual. Collage life was great but it was much different then high school. When he started at California University that September he found himself all a lone. The rangers had gone there separate ways after they passed on the power. Sure they still wrote him and emailed him but it was not the same as it was and they all knew it. Kat had moved on as well just as he hoped she would. Just one month after arriving in London she had fallen head first for Kenny Shepherdstown a fellow dancer and they had ended it. Just as well I could never give her what she wanted from me and maybe just maybe Kenny can. He sadly thought to himself as he started shifting threw his mail his roommate had left for him on his desk. His heart stopped when he came to one that had Kimberly's handwriting on it.

Turning it over he quickly opened it and took out a fancy invitation that read:

Tommy closed his eyes as he let the invitation fall to the ground. He felt his heart finally shatter completely and as the invitation hit the ground so did Tommy.

Tommy watched the wedding from a far, it was an outside wedding and all the rangers past and present were there that is all but him. As Kim said I do he felt tears wale up in his eyes once more. He had not gotten in contact with any of the rangers to tell them that he would not be there. He had just packed two duffel bags and left his dorm room on the day he received the invitation. He did not tell anyone where he was going or what he was going to do. As Matt and Kim kissed Tommy smiled weakly Good-bye beautiful I'll always love you. With that thought Tommy shoved his hands in is jeans pockets and walked over the grassy plan and out of everyone's lives.
