Love Like A Tidal Wave.
I'm Actually Meeting My Heroes!
THE YOUNGER KIM'S POV.
I couldn't believe I was actually lucky enough to meet my heroes, to finally be able to thank them, to show how much I appreciate them. I am eternally grateful for Kim and Taylor for giving me this opportunity, they're truly amazing girls.
Kim gave my hand a quick squeeze, "You nervous?"
I thought about it for a moment, because before I wasn't, but now she's mentioned it, I am, I'm incredibly nervous. I felt my breath hitch in my throat, and I couldn't do anything but simply nod.
"Don't be. They're great guys, and they'll make you feel right at home." She said, and again, all I could do was simply nod.
All of a sudden we heard voices getting closer to the room and the door knob turned, my heart beating out of my chest by this point, and I watched intently as one by one my four heroes turned up right in front of me. Mike, Tony, Vic and Jaime - all four of the people responsible for saving my life. I hadn't even said anything to them yet, and I already felt tears coming to my eyes, I just wanted to hug them and tell them I love them. They need to know how much they're appreciated!
Kim got up out of her seat to greet Vic with a simple kiss and hug, telling him that my name was Kim, "the Kim I told you about - remember?" She said and Vic nodded, smiling and waving at me.
"So guys, I just wanted you to have some time with her, Tayls and I will come back in about half an hour or so, have fun lil Kimmy." She smiled and I nodded, thanking her once again.
"So hey Kim, the older Kim told me about you. You're a very brave girl." Vic said, sitting down next to me. He took my hand in his and smiled encouragingly, "You can tell us your story if you like."
So I did. I told them everything. I told them how my dad wasn't the best dad - always getting drunk, always hitting me and my big brother, although - it was mostly my big brother as he refused to let him hit me, so he would get beatings more often than I. Then my brother committed suicide, and that bastard hit me more, blaming me, saying it was my fault. My mum, she moved away when I was 8 and my brother was 12 - she couldn't take it anymore, the beatings we were getting from my dad - she couldn't stop it, my dads drinking, my dads depression, my dad's abuse towards her. He once pulled a knife out on her and threatened to slit her throat if she told anyone what he was doing to us. So she had to leave, and she couldn't take us with her - my dad winning full custody, of course. Then, the bastard started raping me - and on a regular basis. So to be honest, my whole existence is worth nothing. I'm depressed, I have an eating disorder, I cut, I want to die, basically. But when I listen to Pierce the Veil - I feel like I'm a little bit better, like I'll be happy one day. But we'll see. And the many times I've tried to commit suicide, the song Hold on Till May has stopped me, and well, here I am, owing my life to Pierce the Veil, the wonderful human beings that they are.
I hardly looked up when I was speaking, but once I was finished, I did look up, and seen tears in the boys eyes, seen them looking so incredibly sad. "I want you to give me your email address and your twitter username." Vic said. There was a chorus of 'me too' from Jaime, Tony and Mike after that. So I did, I gave them to each of them.
"Now, if you ever feel sad, ever, I will do my best to email you back as soon as I possibly can. All of us will. Please, beautiful girl, don't cut anymore. Promise the four of us." Mike said, and I nodded, tears streaming down my face. "You've been so strong for so long, but know we'll always be here for you - and so will Kim."
Just then, Kim came back in the door, Taylor and another woman - who was much older following behind her. "So, Kimmy?" She said and I nodded, "I have someone who wants to see you..." She said, biting back a smile.
Her and Taylor moved to the side to show the older woman behind them. She was in her 40's, definitely, her brown hair in a bob with a full fringe, a few gray hairs appearing, her eyes looked soft and gentle, her smile even gentler. But she looked familiar. Then it clicked, and my heart stopped. "M-mum?" I spoke, my voice hoarse and cracking involuntarily.
"Yes baby. I'm here." She said, tears coming from her eyes also, and as she held her arms open, I ran to her, I ran quicker than I ever have.
"How did you find her?!" I squealed to Kim.
"I know a guy, and he found her for me. And she was desperate to see you again, where you both wouldn't get hurt. And Kim, honey, I feel even more amazing to say you're staying with her. You're not going back home." She smiled, tears in her eyes. I ran to her, enveloping her in the biggest hug.
"Thank you! Thank you! Oh my god, THANK YOU!" I cried, hugging Taylor and the rest of the guys also. They all looked so happy for me, and I felt so happy, for the first time ever. I couldn't believe this. What truly amazing people.
VIC'S POV - A FEW HOURS LATER.
I walked up to my girlfriend, feeling more proud than ever that she was mine. I pulled her to my side, kissing her softly and smiling at her.
"They look so happy to be together, finally, huh?" She sighed happily.
"They do baby. Do you know how proud I am of you right now?" I gushed, "You're such an amazing person. Your mama would be incredibly proud of you right now, seriously."
"Thank you gorgeous. I'm glad she's so happy, she deserves it - they both do it, they've had a tough time. And I just want to make a difference, make people happy." She smiled, "I just wish her father could get locked up."
"He will in time, people like him always do." I said, and she simply nodded, as she watched the adoring mother and daughter together, finally together. And I looked at them too, seeing their fairytale ending. And I also couldn't help but think this was how I wanted the rest of my life to be. I want to spend the rest of my life with this more than amazing woman, she's perfect and I can't wait to ask her. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to ask her, on the San Diego show. She too, deserves her fairytale ending. And I want to give it to her.
