While Kim seemed content to simply stay in bed Ron convinced her they should get up and get dressed. Ron knew that she was probably still pretty shook up and if left up to her she might stay in bed all day rather then go through with their plans.
After getting dressed and while Kim patiently worked on her hair Ron contacted Wade and explained the situation to him. Wade assured both of them that the problem would be resolved by the end of the day.
After tiptoeing down the stairs so as to not gather Ron’s parents’ attention (Ron didn’t want to explain things until after breakfast) and a short ride on Ron’s scooter Kim and Ron found themselves sitting in a corner booth staring into each others eyes over a stack of pancakes and some orange juice.
“Thank you again Ron, for all this. For everything. For everything you’ve ever done for me.” Kim said softly as she held back tears.
“Don’t talk like that KP. Even though you’re my fiancé now you’re still and always will be my best friend. I’ll do whatever it takes for you.” Ron said as he reached out and rubs Kim’s hand supportively.
“Well, if it isn’t the unlikely hero and his drunk, drop out loser whore of a girlfriend. Deciding to give up and get fat on bacon now that you’re life is ruined Kimberly?”
Before they could even see her both Ron and Kim recognized Bonnie’s unmistakable voice. As she rounded a corner and approached their table Ron knew from last night and the look on Kim’s face right now that she was in no shape to do mental battle with Bonnie.
“Bonnie, I’d really prefer it if you didn’t say that kind of crap about Kim. Can’t you just move on?” Ron asked Bonnie, secretly clenching his hand that wasn’t rubbing Kim’s hand into a fist under the table to suppress his urge to slug Bonnie in the face.
“You’re right Ron, that was unfair of me.” Bonnie said.
“Thank you.” Ron replied, surprised Bonnie would actually give up that easily.
“You can’t be a drop out if they kick you out before school even starts!” Bonnie jabbed at Kim.
Before anyone even knew what was happening Bonnie was on the floor, holding her hands to her face as blood trickled down her chin.
“I think you broke my nose you asshole!” Bonnie screamed.
“Good! And if you ever say anything cruel or mean to my fiancé ever again I’ll brake more then your nose. I know damn well all the crappy things you’ve done over the years so unless you want everyone to know about how you let the whole computer science club fuck you in the ass in exchange for changing your grades so you could graduate on time I suggest you get the hell out of here right now and if anyone asks you weren’t paying attention and walked into a wall. Go!” Ron said, venom flowing from his lips.
Bonnie didn’t seem to know what to do until Ron screamed go at her. Then she was out the door as fast as she could manage, leaving a trail of blood behind her.
Fortunately the little restaurant was empty at 1030 in the morning so no one, not even the waitress, had been there to see Ron clock Bonnie… except for Kim.
