Lying on her plush, quilted bed, Kim took a deep breath.

She knew that this, dating Jack, would not work out as well as they'd hoped.

Looking up at the ceiling fan, watching the blades rotate lazily, she thought about their latest argument.

She chuckled darkly. They fought over the most meaningless things. From whether or not a match at the dojo had been won fairly to the topic of whether they had been spending enough time together or not.

This time it had been a heated battle over who was paying less attention to the other. Kim was sure Jack was being cold toward her and distant. Jack accused her of flirting with every guy she saw, regardless of who he was and forgetting that she had a boyfriend.

Lately Jack had been becoming increasingly jealous and overprotective of Kim. He would get so angry at times because of Kim talking to other guys, that he'd even go off at Jerry, Milton, and Eddie if they talked to her too much.

The other three boys had distanced themselves from this dysfunctional couple because as Jerry stated, "Yo, you gotta figure out your issues guys. Talk to us then."

Kim knew they were scared of them. They had stopped trying to hang out with either of them and tried to talk as little as possible to Kim and Jack.

Even Rudy picked up on the bad vibes and stopped being the usual, fun man he usually was when they were around.

It made Kim sick to think that because of them the group was breaking up. It was their fault. All of it.

Sighing, Kim sat up and unplugged her phone to text Jack.

Go to the park. Need to talk.

Five minutes passed. Then ten minutes, and still no reply. Kim felt herself get angry and she texted him again.

I swear Jack get your ass to the park.

Tugging on her converse and a jacket, she looked out the window to an overly cloudy and bleak day.

Stomping down the stairs, she grabbed an umbrella and yelled to her mom that she was going out. She opened the door and stepped out onto the empty streets of Seaford and made her way to the park, kicking rocks and swatting mosquitoes all the way there.


Jack's phone buzzed bearing a text from Kim for the second time in fifteen minutes as he glanced at the message with an irritated glower.

It was another text saying to go to the park.

Sure, Jack loved her, he really did. But something he didn't love however was the way guys looked at her. He swore that every guy in the city of Seaford stared at Kim everywhere she went. And she did nothing to try to stop it.

He groaned, she was serious. He'd be in big trouble later if he didn't get to the park soon.

Lacing up his Vans, he glanced out the window and groaned again as he saw the impossibly gray skies, gloomy and depressing.

He swiftly made his way to the front door and got out into the muggy outdoors, glad that for once his mother was not home.

Trudging down the street to the public park, Jack addressed the issue of their many arguments. He made a mental note to himself to try not to fight with her; he knew how much it could hurt. He knew that wasn't how a relationship should be.


Kim was pacing up and down the path in the park. It was deserted. Nobody wanted to be outside when the rain came down.

She swung her umbrella around and she walked back and forth, as she thought about how she should break the news to Jack, unable to keep still.

The air was thick with the promise of rain and she could hear the rumbling of thunder in the distance.

Kim wished that Jack would hurry up and get there already. The wait was killing her.

She turned again, and to her surprise, she felt her umbrella collide with something. Or someone.

"Ouch!" came a familiar voice.

Jack.

"Sorry!" squealed Kim, rushing to him and lightly rubbing where her umbrella had hit him. "Are you okay?" she asked frantically.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said, gingerly rubbing his head. "I'm here. You sounded like you wanted to talk."

Instantly Kim remembered why they were there and snapped her hands back down to her side, as if Jack had turned into some poisonous animal.

"Yeah, well, I kind of need to say something…" she started, suddenly more nervous than ever.

"Well go on, it's about to rain, and I don't think that umbrella is big enough for both of us," said Jack impatiently, his eyes darting up at the darkness above and then back down to Kim.

She took a deep breath and tried to sort out what it was she had to say. She lost her words for a moment, afraid. She knew she was about to break Jack's heart.

With Jack looking at her expectantly, she began, "Well, Jack. Lately I've done some thinking… And I don't think that this relationship is going to work out like we wanted it to." Each word she spoke was laced with guilt.

Jack just looked at her, disbelief and pain registering on his face. But, something else…?

"I meant, look at us Jack. We're falling apart," she continued, struggling to appear composed. "We argue all the time, and our own friends don't even want to be around us for crying out loud."

"B-but Kim, I love you," said Jack. He felt as if his heart had been ripped out and torn to pieces. His anger suddenly flooded his brain and he no longer held back. "Kim, I loved you since day one. Obviously you've been too busy flirting to notice that."

What he said, it hurt. A lot.

"I've been flirting? What about you? Every girl in Seaford is falling all over herself to get to you! And you do nothing. You let your jealousy get the better of you all the time. You obviously can't handle the fact that not everything is about you Jack. Do you even hear yourself?" Kim yelled.

"Oh so now you're pinning this on me? Have you ever thought that maybe I've tried to get rid of all those girls Kim, have you? At least I knew where to draw the line and tell them I had a girlfriend, unlike you. And maybe I wouldn't have to be jealous if you would one day point out to every guy that hits on you that maybe, you have a boyfriend?" bellowed Jack.

"Had, Jack. Had a boyfriend. I tried to fix this, us, but it's not working. We're over!" Kim said angrily.

Jack froze. He expected those words, but had not even thought about how much they would hurt. He looked her in the eyes one last time, and turned to leave.

He gave her two seconds to say something, anything. When she stayed silent, he knew that there was no turning back. He blindly stomped away from the park, not caring in which direction he was going.

As if on cue in some cliché romance movie, rain began to pour down all around them.

Kim just stood there, motionless, stunned at how this had ended. She had imagined it going smoother, they were going to sit and talk like a civilized couple. They were going to kiss and make up, and that would be that. This wasn't what she had wanted, but it was too late to take it back. The words had been said, and now they could never be forgotten.

She was drenched and freezing, but still she did not move. She thought even if they broke up, that they would both be okay. She should've felt free, not broken.

At this point Kim was sure she'd get pneumonia or something from standing out in the rain for so long, but she didn't care. She stood still as a statue, eyes glued in the direction that Jack had stomped off in.

It had only been a few minutes, but she already regretted every word that had escaped her lips. Her lips, which had been so sweetly kissed and caressed by Jack.

It had only been a few minutes, but she was already thinking one thing:

"What have I done?"
