Chapter 12: Here With Me
A/N: "Here With Me" is written and sung by Michelle Branch
After school the next day, outside Jenny had her luggage and her friends and family beside her, all where terribly sad. The car that would take her away would be there to pick her up in thirty minutes.
She gave Jimmy a hug, "I hope your plan works out little cousin, what ever it is."
Jimmy nodded, and then Jenny asked, "Say, where's Goddard?"
Jimmy hesitated for a moment and then said, "Oh, Goddard sort of malfunctioned this morning, and I'll be working on him later today, but he sends his best wishes.
Jenny smiled, something told her Jimmy was lying, but she really did wonder what his plan was to save her.
Jenny went up to Cindy and hugged her, then said, "You keep an eye on Jimmy, ok?"
Cindy smiled and nodded.
The car pulled up and everyone frowned as the driver put her luggage in the car. And Jenny was about to step into the car when Libby stopped her.
"Wait, here." She handed Jenny a CD, "Jimmy and Cindy asked me to make a copy of this song for you, so I did."
Jenny smiled, "Thanks Libby."
She sat in the car, closed the door, and it pulled away.
She looked out of the window and watched her friends and family get further and further away, and tears fell from her eyes, she wished she could hug them all once again.
Jenny looked at the CD, and placed it into her CD player and put on her head phones.
It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind
Now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone things will never be the same again
There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away
Well, I'm not the same girl you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed
I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly just to be a part of something strong and true
But I was scared and left it all behind
I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me
Please?
I never will forget that look upon your face
How you turned away and left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you
I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
Tears fell from Jenny's eyes as the car left Retroville and the song ended.
Back at home Jimmy looked at the mirror in his bathroom, everything seemed clear now, and he really was hoping his plan would work. And if it didn't, he knew not only him, but Retroville would never be the same again. When Jenny and that car pulled out of the drive way and out of Retroville, she took apart of his heart, as well as many other people in Retroville as well.
