Tim's POV
Kim almost left yesterday, I felt bad about my behavior towards her. I had never seen her cry so much, my heart was aching. In my quest to keep her safe I was neglected her feelings.
"Undertaker, a penny for your thoughts" Lethal said.
"You are back" I stated ignoring what he said.
"Yeah" he said frowning.
"By the look on your face I'm guessing things are bad" I said rubbing my forehead in frustration.
"Where's my niece?"
"Shower" I answered and he nodded.
"It's more than bad man. The man has security everywhere, he is so rich even Bill Gates would be jealous. He has connections in higher places, I wouldn't be surprised if he is best friends with the president. He is untouchable, every illegal business he does is considered legal by the justice system. We are battling a god and losing. He won't stop until you are six feet under"
"What are you saying man? I should hand myself to him and let him kill me?" I asked bewildered.
"Of course not undertaker, what do you take me for? I have a plan a very risky plan. But all I'm going to tell you is spend as much time as you can with your girl" he said.
"You are saying I should savour every moment with her cause it might be my last?" I said.
"More or less. I'm hungry, I'll go make a sandwich not the disaster Kim made yesterday!" he said shouting the last sentence.
"Again, FUCK YOU!" Kim replied from my room and Lethal chuckled. I stood up and went to her up stairs.
I stood leaning at the door and took my time watching her. She was humming and dancing slowly only clad in her black panties and sports bra. Her hair was not in a ponytail, something I was blessed with seeing these days because at school she always had her hair in a ponytail or a bun. Her skin so flawless and beautiful. She is so beautiful, her eyes so intimidating and yet when you look at them you find yourself drowning in their sea of purple sometimes blue and sometimes red. She is unique in every way from her unusual eyes to her insanely long hair that every black girl envies. She is so perfect and I wonder what I did to deserve such an angel, people cannot see the shinning Halo above her head but I can see it because she is my angel. I would do anything to ensure she's safe and happy at all times. As cliche as it may sound and as Bruno Mars put it I'll catch a grenade for her, yeah I'll do anything for her.
"You know what you are doing is called?" she asked.
"Is it called admiring your girlfriend?" I said.
"No it's called staring and it is very rude" she scolded and I chuckled. I moved closer to her and held her waist, she put her hands on my chest.
"You know I've never asked you why you always wear black" I said.
"We've been dating for almost three months now and you are only asking now?" she said feigning hurt.
"It's been three months?" I gasped and she nodded amused. "It feels like only yesterday I announced my love for you in front of the whole school in the hall" I said lying us down on the bed.
"It does. But to answer your question, I don't wear black because I want to look like a badass, I wear it because I feel comfortable in black. You know it's not easy having parents one day and the next you don't, and it's even more traumatizing seeing their lifeless bodies dripping blood at the front of the smashed car. All I needed at the time was support, X was there but what could a five year old like my self could have done? My aunt turned into a monster. She turned a place I called home a local club and threw me out and made me stay in the shack. I used to have nightmares and I was miserable. The day off the funeral I wore all black and I felt at peace. So I've been wearing black ever since atleast when I'm not at school" she said. I felt my heart aching with every word.
"You are strong angel" I said.
"Thank you" she said.
"Did you say X was there?" I asked. I've never really understood their relationship, and why she is not afraid of him like other people.
"Yeah he was my best friend, my loss was his loss. Infact he was more of a brother to me but we kind of drifted apart" she said. "I hate this depressing mood let's do something fun"
"Let's have a pool party" I suggested.
"With just the two of us, boring" she said.
"Invite your friends then and I'll invite the Vandals" I said. She looked up at me with a wide smile on her face. I live for that smile.
"Really?" she asked and I nodded.

"Pose for the camera!" Kim shouted at all of us in the pool and we all started making funny faces while she took the pictures with her camera. She was laughing so hard at us that she tripped and fell in the pool with the camera in her hand. She started making drowning sounds and I moved to her and lifted her up. I was laughing at her and she had a frown on her face examining her camera. When she saw that it was still functioning properly she grinned. "Well would you look at that it's waterproof"
"I told you!" the letter D said pointing at Kim. Kim laughed at splashed water at her friend.
"Let's play truth or dare" the net said. All the males except Vic, JJ and I cheered.
"As long as no one touches Kim" I said.
