AN: Kim Possible and all its characters are sole property of Disney. I am not generating or will generate any money in writing this fic. This is for my sole entertainment and I hope that those who will read will enjoy this fic as well. The story does not strongly follow KP verse by the way but all characters are from Kim Possible.
Prologue:
"This is it. I have to tell him." Kim encouraged herself. She had thought about this for weeks now and finally she has to tell him. Tell Ron that they should end their almost three-year relationship. She thinks that they are growing apart. Her in Cambridge and Ron in Upperton really doesn't work well. During their first year in college, they tried to work it out. Wade would always call in favors so one of them can get a ride either to Cambridge or Upperton at least once a week. Then during the world saving stuff they can still spend time with each other. Plus the every Kimmunicator and Ronnicator calls that they do daily seems to shorten the distance.
But when they reached sophomore, things have gone cold mostly on Kim's end. Her trips to Upperton became infrequent then non-existent over the course of six months. Ron still comes though but even when he came she rarely entertains him and more often than not, Ron comes back to Upperton without even seeing Kim.
Then came Andrew. He is a lean guy who majors in Art. Not too muscular but not skinny either. Dark hair with dark brown eyes. Kim met him at Literature – a class they both shared. He occupied the chair beside her and that was the start of their friendship. They couldn't be seen without each other. Before she knew it, Kim felt that she was falling in love with Andrew.
Then one night at the park, while they were enjoying the star –filled night, Andrew told Kim that he is in love with her. Kim felt her heart jump at the confession, she wanted to wrap her arms around him and kiss him senseless but at least her conscience stopped her. Ron was still her boyfriend at that time and though she knew they were falling apart, she can't just go and betray Ron. So instead of telling Andrew what she felt about him, she asked him to give her some time.
Now, she's back in Middleton for the Christmas break. Her resolved cannot be faltered. She will tell Ron. It would be for the best.
Kim waited outside their house. Ron would be arriving anytime soon. Its Christmas eve. As she waits for Ron, she cannot help but remember all the Christmases Ron spent there. All the Christmas eve's sleepover that Ron did since they were four. She knows that the break-up will be hard on Ron's end seeing that he felt them drifting apart. How many times did he try to get her to talk about their relationship but she would always say that it was fine though it wasn't mainly because she no longer wants to try. She knows that eventually they will be breaking up anyway. Ron, though willing to follow her anywhere, wants to stay in Middleton. No, she's not taking it against him but that's not the life she wants. Ron is laid back. While she wants excitement and excellence. Ron is content with what he has while she has ambitions. That doesn't mean that he's not her friend. He will always be her best friend forever. It is just that now that she's given it a thought, she thinks they are incompatible.
Couple of minutes later Ron arrived. He was wearing a white tennis shirt and black pants. Very far from his usual jersey and six pocket pants. Kim had to admit that Ron is a looker now. Being a football player in Middleton earned him a scholarship in Upperton and is now their star player. Kim knows that behind the shirt is his six pack abs. She's seen them more times than one.
"Hiya KP!" Ron approached Kim and gave her the flowers he bought. Sure he has other gift for Kim. He had been waiting for months for the Christmas break so he can be with Kim all throughout. "How's my bondiggity girlfriend? I missed you forever!" Ron gave Kim a kiss on her lips. It was more of a quick peck though. He then noticed Kim's sad face. "Anything wrong KP?"
"Ron, we need to talk." Kim said.
Ron's goofy smile when he arrived is now a memory. Those four little words. Those powerful words that would make any person remember every single wrong thing they have done in their entire existence.
"About what Kim?" Ron feigned ignorance despite his head screaming SHE'S BREAKING UP WITH YOU!
"I know this is the worst time but Ron, I think we should break up." There, she said it.
"K-KP?" Ron doesn't know what to say. He stared at Kim. He knew it. Even before. Her not coming to Upperton or not meeting him when he visits her in Cambridge. Kim not returning his calls. Not even on his birthday. Tears trekked his cheeks. He loves Kim that his entire world is him.
"Ron this is hard for me but our relationship is not working anymore. We're just too far away from each other and that…"
"And what Kim?" Ron was not happy. He is upset. Well he was angry at Kim. He did everything to close the gap between then. He prays that she won't say she found someone else.
Kim's tears fell. She had been holding them back. Ron is mad at her. Can't blame the guy. She can't answer him. How will she tell him that she's in love with another guy?
"Please KP. Please don't tell me you found another guy."
Kim then wailed. It was confirmation enough for Ron. He wanted to punch something and he did. The wooden mailbox in front of Kim's house is now history. Cannot be fixed anymore. Gone. Just like their relationship. Ron felt his knees weaken and he sat on the sidewalk.
"I'm sorry Ron." Kim said. She too sat beside Ron. "This is for the best. I tried. I swear I did. And about the guy, well, we aren't really together. This not about him. It's about us. Maybe, we're really not meant for each other. Maybe us being together wasn't really right. I understand that you are mad at me but I hope that someday, we can be friends again."
Ron wants to scream at Kim. He wants to tell her that they can't be friends ever again. But he knows that it would be his anger talking. He loves Kim. She is his world which is now shattered. If letting her go will make her happy, then he would set ther free. These thoughts made him calm. It hurts. Like a thousand needles was pinned on his heart.
"KP, your happiness is all that means to me. I love you with all my heart. I love you with all that I am. I want you to stay but if that wouldn't make you happy, it wouldn't make me either. If making you happy means that I have to let you go, then you're free Kim. I can't say that we can be friends again but we have to give that some time." Ron stood, offering his hand to Kim so she can stand. Once they were face to face, Ron kissed her head. "Thank you KP. I will miss you." With that Ron turned his back and walked away from Kim.
Kim should be feeling fine now. Ron took their break-up rather calmly after he had an outburst. He truly loves her. She knows that. But just like what she told Ron, maybe they weren't really for each other. So why does she want to run after him and make him stay? Why does she want to call him back and wrap her arms around him never to let go? Why does she feel like she just made a mistake of a lifetime?
