It was August 3rd, 1997. Tommy was about to head out to the Youth Center with Katherine to meet up with the rest. Katherine Hillard waiting on her forever late boyfriend, noticed a cab pulling up into the driveway. A young lade getting out the cab with several bags of luggage.
"Tommy! A cab just pulled up!" Tommy was combing his hair.
"What?"
"A cab!" Katherine watched Tommy run downstairs and open the door just as the door bell rung. He gasped and stepped back.
"Kimberly?"
"Hi."
'What are you doing here?"
"I need...can we talk?"
"You didn't want to talk months ago, why now?"
"Please."
"Tommy, let her in." Kimberly put down the 2 bags she was carrying at the door. Tommy nodded and opened the door more for her. He stepped aside. Kimberly walked passed him. Katherine stood there. "Hi."
"Hey."
"Oh, it's so great to see you again!" Katherine went to hug Kim. She slightly stepped back, but Kat had already hugged her. Kim hugged back.
"What did you wan tot talk about?"
"Can we talk alone?" Katherine looked at Tommy.
"No, whatever you say to me, you can say in front of Katherine. I don't care."
"I do."
"If you can't tell both of us, then you can't tell me."
"It's a private manner, that I would like to tell you, but only you."
"Katherine is my girlfriend, anything you tell me, I'll tell her."
"I don't think that's wise."
"Why not?" Katherine asked.
"Trust me."
"Trust you? Why?"
"Tommy, I need to talk to you alone, so please, could you excuse us!" Kimberly glared at Tommy.
"Like I said, you can tell the both of.."
"I'm pregnant!" Tommy's mouth dropped and looked at her. Katherine looked at Kim with wide eyes.
"You're pregnant?" Kim nodded to Katherine. Tommy fell to the couch. "Who?" Tommy's hand went to cover his face. "How? Who?"
"It's yours." Kim took a seat across from him. She crossed her legs. "Take your time to let it sink in."
"How far along are you?" Katherine asked.
"Like 9 week, 2 months."
"When did you..you slept with her!" Tommy looked up at Katherine. "When did you sleep..?" Katherine remembered Tommy and Kimberly disappearing the night after the Karate tournament was over with. The next morning, Kimberly flew back to Florida with Jason, Tommy never said what happened. "The night of the Karate match. You slept with her." Katherine fell to a chair.
"Are you sure it's mine?"
"No, I randomly sleep with a different guy like every other day. Of course it's yours! Why the fuck would I be here if it wasn't!"
"It's just...you left...you left me..you wouldn't talk to me! You got on that damn plane and left me again!"
"I'm sor..I was scared you would regret it. I couldn't hear that what we did, that having sex, so I ran."
