Thankyou to all who reviewed! grins I'm afraid this story is going to be cut a bit shorter than planned, as I don't have time to keep updating it at the moment. So this is the final chapter, and it isn't very long. Sorry! Hope you enjoy it anyway!
************************************
Cindy woke up, feeling strangely empty. Where was she again? Then it hit her, and her heart felt like lead. Her parents were dead. She was all alone.
She had slept at Jimmy's house, as they both thought it would be better to have someone for company. He had slept on the sofa downstairs while she had the bed in his room. She stifled a sob as she remembered everything that had happened early that morning. Though she had never been very close to her parents, she had loved them and knew her life was going to be very different without them. She felt so sorry for Jimmy; his parents had meant the world to him.
She glanced over to the clock on the wall and saw that it was nearly noon. Figuring that it would probably be better to get up and do something to take her mind off everything, she swung her legs out of bed and tiptoed down the stairs.
Jimmy was still asleep. She slipped silently out of the front door to go and get some fresh clothes from her house. Seeing everything in her house that reminded her of her parents brought fresh tears to her eyes, but she blinked them away. She was 18. She was strong. She could get through this.
After she had gotten changed, she went back to Jimmy's house and crept quietly back inside. She felt well enough to go home, but thought it would be better to stay and comfort Jimmy. His heart would be broken… he had loved his parents so much!
Jimmy was sat up on the sofa, and he was crying quietly. Cindy went over and sat self-consciously beside him. She nearly said 'Jimmy, what's wrong?' but realised that that was a pretty stupid question. She gently laid a hand on his shoulder, not really knowing what to do. She realised that her feelings for him, the love she had hidden away for all these years, were stronger than ever before.
"I can't get through this!" said Jimmy, wiping the tears from his eyes. "My parents were everything to me, I've got no-one left, it's not fair!" Then he said quietly "I'm sorry. Your parents are gone too. It's just…"
Cindy placed a finger gently on his lips, tears welling with passion and sadness.
"You're wrong, for once in your life. Of course we can get through this! You've still got someone left… you've still got me." She gently kissed him, and they both smiled through their tears. "We can get through this together!"
