Cindy woke up the next morning the same she had the first time. She felt surreal and content. She turned over to look at the sleeping Jimmy and placed a hand on his bare chest. She traced the middle of his abdomen up to the nape of his neck and down again.
This caused the restful Neutron's lips to twitch into a lopsided smile. She felt his heartbeat under her hand as it stopped on his chest. He was so relaxed... he was smiling.
She sighed and lifted her head, resting it in her palm. If he only knew...
If he knew how her heartbeat beat in tune with his and how complete she felt when they were together, sexually or not. Sh leaned forward and placed a butterfly light kiss on his lips.
If he knew how she loved him so.
How he had taken control of her mind and soul and her entire world.
she rose from the bed, the blanket falling from her a dainty body.
If he knew how much it hurt and destroyed her that he would attempt at taking back those words.
If he knew how much more it hurt to wake today and know... know he'd be sober and afraid again.
If he knew all this... If only he could know...
he said he'd fix it all. But Cindy knew he was still human, despite his intellect. Humans err. Humans have limitations. What separated them from animals were their emotions and ability to laugh and cry. Besides dolphins, only humans mated for pleasure. Humans were fallible.
James couldn't see his own weaknesses, his own limitations. He wasn't God.
She pulled out a gray sweatshirt.
And still she loved him so damn much! tears fell but she hadn't noticed. She loved everything about him. She loved him so much that she would allow him to continue hurting her like this. Because she knew it made him happy. It was less complicated for him.
But it hurt.
It hurt ten times over every time. She didn't know how long she could take this. Pretending, being what she wasn't.
That's what High School is about. Pretending to be cool and acting out to be the fool. There was enough of that to pretend with him...
James Isaac Neutron, the love of her life and it tore her apart!
James made a noise as he began to rouse from his slumber. She dropped the jeans and wiped her face. She needed a shower.
The water was scolding her but it took her mind off of the pain, the pain that ate at her. She couldn't say goodbye, couldn't watch him leave. She didn't want to hear his excuses, didn't want to hear him take it back...
But he wouldn't make it easy. she knew that as she hear the door open.
She should have locked it.
She cleared her throat. "Jimmy?" she asked her voice sounding strange even to her.
"Cindy, are you okay?"
She sniffled. "Of course! you just have a nasty tendency of keeping me up at night." she tried to sound teasing but it fell flat. "Uh, you go ahead to school. Nick picks me and Libby up so-"
"No. I'm taking you to school." he opened the shower curtains and met her eyes. They stood there a moment, frozen in time for what felt eternity.
that damn silence.
Then he spoke.
"Cindy... I need you." he said softly. He reached out and touched her face. "I-... I-" eh tried but she shook her head. he narrowed his eyes at her to keep her from speaking. "I love you... I don't want to hurt you... I want to... I want to fix us." he pressed h is forehead against hers and stepped into the shower. Cindy felt his muscles tense and a hiss as the hot water impacted his bare skin.
She lost her breath. He had such power over her. He lifted her face. His arms wrapped around her waist and she leaned into him, shocked.
This was too perfect.
She was dreaming, she knew she was but it felt so real... and the water really was hot...
"I can fix us, I can fix anything." he buried his face in her neck. "But I need help."
Jimmy? Asking for help? She choked back a sob.
His voice was breaking as he spoke. "I need you, I need you to be there for me. I need your support. I need you more then breath and food. You complete me."
He was voicing all she held dear. she needed him as well, more then anything else.
"i'm so sorry. I don't want to you to cry..." he murmured.
"Oh James, I'm not crying." she tried. he laughed.
"You're a bad liar." she pulled back with a sniff and went to glare but saw that he too was crying. She smiled and held his face.
"I'll do anything for you. I promise." he bent over and kissed her fiercely, as if she would disappear.
She guessed she wasn't the only one who thought this was surreal.
After that there was no question.
No Nick, no facades or illusions. It was all real, as real as the burning water pouring over their bodies.

Eyes fell on them.
Jimmy and Cindy held hands. His cerulean eyes turned to he,a smirk on his lips. She winked.
James wore a burgundy and beige plaid shirt over a Linkin Park T-shirt and loose black pants. Cindy wore a black halter top with an open denim jacket and a denim skirt. Her opaque black shades were pulling back her blonde curls that were loose and free.
Yes, the odd pair. She was perfect and blonde and beautiful. Jimmy was smart, punk and geeky. They couldn't care. She got to her locker and lifted her lock with slender perfectly manicured fingers. Jimmy leaned his back against the locker beside them.
"Well?" he asked.
She grinned a feline grin, "Is that, well are you happy everybody has seen us well or well did you speak with Nick well?"
He furrowed his brows a moment then shook his head. "Well as in what do you have planned for today." he said, turning onto his side to look at her. He watched her as she opened her locker and sifted through her stuff. She pulled out pictures of herself and Nick, tossing them to the floor.
"Ugh, why didn't anyone tell me I looked so fake around him?" she said in disgust. James chuckled. She looked at him and smiled. "As for today..." she grabbed his shirt and pulled him close, their noses grazing. 'It's all yours, love."
"Mmm," he murmured as he slid his hand up her face and into her hair. Their lips connected. Kissing felt so natural to them now.
"What the Fuck!" they heard behind them. The two jumped apart.
They recognized the voice immediately. James frowned but Cindy smirked. "Ah, Nicky-poo!" she teased in an overly sweet voice. Jimmy twitched. That as annoying.
Nick growled and slammed Cindy's door. She didn't flinch. "What the hell are you and Queer-tron doing?!" he hissed, his silk black bangs falling flawlessly into his face.
Libby was across from them, leaning against her locker. her cocoa arms were folded across her chest, a smirk on her full lips.
He smiled and waved silently to her. She nodded and winked.
Nick turned to Jimmy. He grabbed him by his collar and lifted him, pulling back a fist. James met his black eyes with an ice cool cerulean gaze. Nick hesitated. That was enough. James kicked him back with both feet.
He wasn't a third grader anymore. He wouldn't allow anyone to touch him and get away with it. Nick stumbled back as a couple of laughs and shocked gasps radiated around him. He narrowed his eyes. "You're mince meat."
Cindy came and stood between them, her arms crossed over her chest. "Nick, you're so fake you smell like plastic." Cindy hissed. "I don't know what I saw in you."
"You saw the Varsity Jacket, Cind." Libby said but she sounded light and Jimmy knew she was on her best friend's side. He was glad Libby was a true friend to Cindy and him both.
He saw Sheen walk up, confused. Nick's eyes seemed to bulge. "Why you stupid bitch!" he hissed.
"Me? Stupid? Who's the one who can barely read?" she snapped.
That was the last straw. No one expected it and it shocked the whole crowd.
It was loud and impacted completely.
Nick slapped Cindy.
Before anyone could breathe, Jimmy was on top of Nick. It was fats and unpredictable. Fists flying, insults called. Soon Sheen came into the picture and the rest of the basketball team.
All hell had broken loose...
