Chapter 4
"But it was her! Please, for God's sake, hear me out!"
"No! For the last time, she's innocent!"
The voices had begun fighting a few short minutes ago. Heloise struggled to sleep, but she couldn't help but realize the two distinct voices were arguing about her.
"But think about it! She loves to destory things!" cried the first, low and arrogant.
"That may be so, but I've never seen her pulled something like this off!" cried the second, somewhat high and optimistic.
Heloise groaned. It was Jimmy and Beezy, for they had been arguing that past few nights about whether or not she, a girl with a patent for catatrophic destruction, was in fact the cause of the explosion that occured only a few short days ago. She tried to ignore them, but alas, it was hopeless, as she eavesdropped on the debate.
"Beezy! How many times must i go over this!? Heloise is innocent!" yelled Jimmy finally, nearly waking up the entire camp.
A few tosses, a few turns. No one awoke, though.
"Hmph!" huffed Beezy, as he stormed away to his corner of the shelter.
Jimmy watched as the red demon fell to the ground and began snoring. He felt bad about fighting with his best friend, but somehow, deep within him, he was positive Heloise wasn't the cause. And even if she was, it might've been an accident.
Two-Shoes proceeded to his side of the makeshift home and lay down next to Heloise, who was facing his direction, eagerly awating his return. "What was that about?" she asked, obviously lying. "Oh, nothing. Just one of Beezy's crazy theories-Yawwwnnn...-don't worry about it." he said winking. Heloise blushed under the light of the cold-blue moon. Jimmy noticed immediately, that she looked incredible. "Uh..." he suddenly was at a loss for words, a rarity for the boy. The young girl put her index finger over his lips. "Shhhhh... just go to sleep." she whispered. Jimmy did what he was said, and closed his eyes and began to snore much more quietly than Beezy. Heloise currled up to him. The arm was back, protecting her from whatever may roam amongst the backdrop of the night.
I wish you were right, Heloise thought to her self. I wish this was an accident. But it wasn't. It was for you. For love. And you'll realize this soon, wether I make you or not. But no matter how you find out or how you'll respond, I beg your forgiveness, Jimmy Two-Shoes. Please... forgive me...
...The next morning...
The wee hours of the first sunlight peeked through the eyelids of Jimmy and Heloise. Twas a beautiful day, given the severity of their situation. Suddenly, a figure stood over the two. It was Beezy, with a odd expression on his face.
"Heloise, I believe I owe you an apology." he stated. Jimmy and Heloise stared at each other. Were these words real? Was this a joke? What was it?
"I took into consideration all the facts, and decided, even if it was you, Heloise, either way it'd just be you being you." Beezy finished. Heloise was touched. Never had she heard these words come from the youngest Heinous's mouth. "Thank you, Sir Lumps-a-lot." she smirked. "Yay! We're friends again!" yelled Jimmy. "SHUT UP TWO-SHOES! SOME OF US ARE DAMNED TIRED AND WANT TO SLEEP! SO SHUT THE HELL UP!" yelled Lucius. Typical.
"Well, I say to celebrate, we have-hey, where's Samy?" asked Jimmy.
No one had noticed, but Samy had disappeared into the woods, searching for more food. He made his way threw the small piece of land that once was the home of the dreaded Weevils. "Wow, that explosion really did take everything out." he muttered to himself. Samy went about his way, picking up any berries or whatnot that could used for cooking, since supplies were running low. He looked up from the ground, only to lay his eyes upon something he had enver seen before. Something that filled him with fear and curioisity. Something... incredible.
...Meanwhile, Later that day...
"Whew! I'm sorry guys, I gotta take a break!" said en exhausted Jimmy Two-Shoes. He, Heloise, and Beezy had been searching for survivors, but also food, given Beezy's extreme eating habbits. Lucius's offsrping ran after a scent he had picked up. "Hey guys! I'm gonna go chek this out!" he declared, sniffing out whatever it was like bloodhound hunting for a criminal.
This is it, thought Heloise. This may be my only chance to tell Jimmy the truth. It's now or never. C'mon, Heloise, you can do it. You've practised with your Jimmy-dolls for years for this one moment.
"Wow, Beezy sure is-" Jimmy had started to speakm but was interrupted by a pair of female lips pressed tightly against his own.
Altough she had been preparing this for five long years, Heloise never expected it to happen like this. She kissed deeply, making sure every emotion she felt was expressed in that one kiss.
For a second, Jimmy was in shock, but then, as if he was in a trance, slowly began kissing back. Eventually, Heloise began to kiss harder back to keep the boy at bay, but she made a slight miscalculation and the duo fell backwards, the results including Heloise falling in top of Jimmy.
"Jimmy..." whispered Heloise between kisses. "I have-mmm-something-mmm-that I have to-hmmm-say. I-mmm-have-hmm-always loved-mmm-you. I have watched-mmm-you from a-mmm-distance and-mmm-have always tried-hmmm-to make you-mmmmm-realize my feelings-mmmm- damn, you're a better kisser than I dreamt you were."
Jimmy just let Heloise do her thing while he let all that had been said sink in. He had never realized it at first, but now everything made sense.
"Wow. I never thought." he muttered.
Heloise stopped for a second to admire him. Kiss marks littered the young boy's face.
"I love you, Jimmy Two-Shoes." whispered Heloise.
