Chapter 4:

It was just after 11 and I was at the carousel. Jimmy wasn't there yet. I started to worry. I sat on one of the carousel horses and waited. 15 minutes after 11 I got up, frustrated. As my feet hit the ground I heard someone walking on the carousel.

"Jimmy?"

No answer.

"Jimmy! Is that you?" I shouted.

A few seconds later Dandy appeared. He had an evil grin across his face. He jumped down in front of me. I started to scream but barely got anything out before his hand was covering my mouth.

"Shut up! You stupid girl!" Dandy yelled in my face.

I tried talking back. He told me to be quiet so I did. He slowly released his hand from my mouth.

"Where is Jimmy?" I said.

"Probably fornicating with that whale of a woman." Dandy said.

"Jimmy wouldn't do that..."

"No? Follow me." he said.

We walked to a tent where I could already hear moaning. My heart broke inside my chest. I turned the corner and saw Jimmy with none other than Ima Wiggles aka Barbara.

"Jimmy! How could you?!" I yelled.

"Oh, no no-Maggie"

He came after me. I turned and slapped him so hard he fell to the ground. Dandy looked pleased and surprised.

"I am your God, Jimmy. I warned you." Dandy said to Jimmy, leaning next to him.

I walked off and Dandy followed.

2 days later I had calmed down. Jimmy had apologized and pointed out that we were broken up at the time. We got back together but we still were working on our trust. Jimmy was trying to sober up. Dandy seemed happy with Bette. Jimmy had told me Dot also tried to come onto him that night but he turned her down. I didn't believe that until I spoke with Dot. She apologized to me. I felt bad for her. I too had been heartbroken by Jimmy that night. It brought us together though. I learned Dot wasn't such a bad person after all.

There was a knock at my door.

"Hello, Maggie!" Bette said.

"Would you like to join us for breakfast?" Dot asked.

"Absolutely." I replied.

We walked to the tent and grabbed some oatmeal. Bette had caviar waiting for her. She had a weird thing about eating it with every meal. Jimmy came in with a cup of coffee and sat by me, kissing my cheek. I looked at Dot, sympathetically. It didn't feel right. He had just hurt her and now he was hurting her more. I scarfed down breakfast. When we went back to my tent he started kissing me. Suddenly I felt sick. I ran to the bathroom, barfing up anything in my stomach. I didn't think much of it though. I had always got sick when I was stressed.

"You okay?" Jimmy asked.

I sat beside him.

"I got the rest of the cash. We leave this weekend for Miami." I said.

"Whoa whoa. Are you for real?"

"Yes. I even found us both jobs down there."

"I love you." he said.

"I love you too." I replied.

He leaned down and kissed me, smiling.
