Hey!!!! A lot of you said that the last part of my last chapter was a lot like the scene of 'Mean Girls.' Well, that's kinda where I got it from. I got 'Mean Girls' for Christmas and I thought the girls at my school were mean!!!!!! They're nothing compared to that movie.
Karen:But if you're from Africa, then why are you white?
Gretchen:Oh my God, Karen, you just can't ask people why they're white!
Disclaimer:I don't own Jimmy...or Mean Girls!
Dive Right In
So here I go, I'll dive right in.
We flew across the ocean. He turned to look at me, and I noticed sadness in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He cried a bit.
"My...my cousin, you know, Ben? Well, he died...last night." I was taken aback by this, and I kissed him on the cheek. I knew how close him and his cousin were.
"Ok, Cin, we're here." He stopped the hovercar and sat in the seat next to me to put his arm around me. I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"Thanks for bringing me here." I let a few tears drop down my cheeks as I thought of what I had to do. They went unnoticed.
"We can't stay here that long, though. I have to get back to the lab in about half an hour to test out my newest invention."
"Oh...ok." That just put even more pressure on me.
"Jimmy, I wanna look around on that island over there. Can we land?" I pointed across the hovercar to an island that even I could barely see.
"Sure, angel." He sat back down in the driver's seat and turned the hovercar towards the island, then accelerated to it.
"Angel?" I asked him skeptically.
"Yea." He replied blushing. "You...saved my life. You're my angel."
Break through the waves, straight to the ocean floor.
I knew it was then that I had to do it. I didn't want to, because I never wanted anything else in life but Jimmy by my side, holding my hand. But, if I didn't, Libby could get killed, or Jimmy...or both of them. And then I would live life in some sort of mental institution, and I'll be alone and miserable. I just couldn't not do it. I'd be putting my dearest friends' lifes in danger. I leaned over the side of the craft. Looking down at the water, I could see the shadow from the hovercar. I leaned a little farther. You know how in a movie, when the main character's about to do something that will change the whole story, everything that happens moves in slow motion. Well, when Jimmy turned around and saw me, it was like slow motion. I saw him reach for me, I threw myself onto the inflated side of the craft and began to lose my grip. Instead of trying to hold on, Jimmy watched me as I let go. I could hear him scream, "NO!!!!!!!!" and watched as his tears started to fall. I felt bad, but I didn't have time to think about much.
At the top of my lungs, I screamed, "I love you, James Issac Neutron!"
Then, my body made contact with the water. I imeddiately began to drift upward, but I swam with all my strength towards the bottom. My eyes began to adjust to the darkness of the underwater world. As I looked around, I saw a sunken ship on the sea sloor. I swam to it.
And although my hands are shaking, I lie perfectly still.
I ripped my jeans a little and tied them around one of the broken boards. I sat there in the murky silence and would've cried, but I don't think you can cry underwater. At least not in a noticeable way. I knew that suicide was like giving up. I couldn't erase that one thought from my mind, but I didn't want anything bad happening to my friends. My head began to feel light and airy, like I had been sucking helium or something. Then, I knew that I didn't have much longer. I closed my eyes for a second before opening them again. I could see something far away in the water. The siloutte of someone, someone with a weird shaped figure. They wouldn't reach me in time to save me if it was someone coming to save me. Jimmy's face suddenly engraved itself in my brain. The distressed look on his face when he saw me going over the edge. The one that he had given me when I said that I should've never brought him back, except ten times worse.
Cause I'm determined to let myself sink down.
The corners of my eyesight turned black and started closing in. I tried to gulp in air on instinct but all I got was water. I felt panic creep into every bone in my body, as about a half an inch of what I could see got blurry. Then, I couldn't see anything. It was darker than I had ever seen in my life. But I was alive for the nanosecond to hear someone calling my name frantically. Then I felt, saw, and heard nothing.
Jimmy:
I saw her floating eerily by a sunken ship and swam towards her as quick as I could. Her eyes were closed, and I noticed she was strangely still, it was the kind of stillness that you see and feel when you're around someone dead.
"Cindy!" I yelled, although it sounded like gurgling as the water distorted my words.
I cut the part of her jeans that was connecting her to the ship with my laser. Then I grabbed her around the waist and swam upward, not caring how low I was on oxygen and how much she was slowing me down. Our surroundings were getting brighter as we ascended rapidly towards the surface. When we broke the water at the surface, I noticed we were very near the island that Cindy had supposedly 'wanted to see.' I swam towards it, only thinking about what I would do if she was dead. In about five minutes time, we got to the island. I layed her down in the sand on her back and began giving her mouth-to-mouth. I'm not being a pervert or anything, but I thought she tasted good even if she was dead or hopefully unconcious. How I could think about something like that when the one person that I wanted to be with forever was going to die, I don't know. I stopped to see if I was making any progress, but saw I was failing. I began to cry out her name, tears flooding down my cheeks, almost blocking out my sight. Several tears landed on her.
And I know, I'm buried too far down.
My world had come crashing into the same deathly sorrow that she had probably felt when I had died. I felt as if I would never be happy unless I died too, so I could be with her for all eternity. I was about to wipe the tears off her face when I saw the slight movement of her chest moving up and down. Suddenly she sat forward and started coughomg up water. It sounded very painful, so I sat next to her and held her hand, which she gripped tightly. She finished and layed back into my arms, soaking up the sun.
"Nothing's gonna happen." She said as she smiled up at me.
"What?" I was confused by her, which happened normally.
To feel, the warmth from the sun again.
"I started something by bringing you to life. I had cheated death by doing that. And from then on, whoever you and I had come in contact with were going to die very soon like you did. Almost exactly like that movie Final Destination." I could hear the serious tone her voice suddenly had.
"Yea, I've seen that movie. But tons of people died in that movie." I watched her emerald eyes as they scanned the sky, and they sparkled with affection for me as I put my arms around her tighter.
"I love you." Those three simple words. It's funny how, even three simple words, eight letters, could affect someone's emotions, especially a guy like me. I have always kept my emotions locked up inside me until I met Cindy. She was the one girl that I had ever truly loved. She was the key to that lock on my feelings. I realized this then. "What?" She asked as I was staring at her.
"I love you, too." I was still puzzled about one thing, though. "But still, why in the world would you want to kill yourself? Suicide's just like giving up."
I could wave my arms and swim away, but never reach the shore.
She looked at me strangely. "I didn't want anything bad to happen to you or Libby. I would die for either of you." I saw a genuine shine in her eyes that I knew had to be there for sure. I wasn't just imagining it.
"How are you so sure that it worked?"
"He told me." She looked up at the sky.
But for now I will lay, face first in the sand.
"Can we stay on this island for the rest of the day?" She turned to me to ask.
"Uh, sure. But we'll need to leave before sundown." I answered, and she walked over to the water's edge. I sat up against a tree trunk.
With the wreckage of ships that lost their way.
She leaned in towards me, and I unhesitantly leaned towards her. I knew that she was a good kisser, as I had kissed her before, but something about the way she kissed me then...I just can't explain it. It was too peaceful for words, like the tranquil island that we were on.
And I know, I'm buried too far down,
To feel the warmth from the sun again.
The Geeks Get The Girls
Cindy:
For the first time in my life, I could say I was truly happy. If I've said it any other times in the telling of this story, ignore it. Now was the happiest time in my life. That one day, when Jimmy saved my life and everything just felt wonderful. Awesome. Complete. I'm sorry, I'm rambling, but if you've ever died and then came back to life(which I doubt, considering it doesn't happen often), then you'd understand the way I feel.
Another Friday night,to get the feeling right,
At the bar, when he sees her coming over.
We sat at the water's edge and watched the waterfall trickle down the rocks. It made such a relaxing sound, that I quickly drifted off to sleep in Jimmy's arms.
Whatcha gonna do? When she walks up to you?
Tongue tied, better get yourself together.
I awoke to Jimmy shaking me and saying my name gently. I opened my eyes to see him leaning over me, the ominous black clouds in the background.
"Cindy, we've gotta go. The clouds will make it get darker faster." He said with an abrubtly hard shake. I sat up.
"Alright, but how are you going to get the hovercar here?" I asked, suddenly thinking of it.
"Watch." He stated with a smile and pulled out his keyring.
He picked out a particularly crude square-shaped piece of metal with a button and pressed it. Within seconds, the hovercar appeared over us, blowing our hair in all directions. He jumped in, then offered me a hand, and I jumped in too. Cutting through the rain, we made it to Retroville just before the sun set.
Pound another drink, give him time to think.
"What's your sign?"-"Hey, I think you know a friend of mine."
He walked me ovto my door, when my cell phone rang. I answered it, only to hear Libby's voice on the other line.
All the stupid lines that he had ever heard,
Wouldn't come to mind, he couldn't say a word.
"Hey, girl! There's a party here at the Candy Bar. You need to be here, or you'll socially regret it!" Her peppy voice said.
"Alright, we'll be right down."
"We?"
"Yea, Jimmy and I."
"Oh, yea. I'm sorry, it's just so weird seeing you guys together...Well, hurry down." Then the line went dead as she hung up.
I flipped the phone closed and put it in my pocket. "Well, it looks like we're going down to the Candy Bar."
"Cool. But, uh, first things first. You need to get cleaned up." Jimmy said, looking me up and down with a kinda disgusted look.
I could imagine that I looked bad, since I had just almost drowned earlier that day. I ran into my house, changed my outfit, brushed and blow-dried my hair, and ran back down the stairs and out my door in a matter of twenty minutes.
Tonight, Tonight, he's gonna get it right.
Even losers can get lucky sometimes.
All the freaks go on winning streaks.
In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls.
We walked to the Candy Bar. When we got there, everyone clapped. I have no idea why, but I was liking the attention.
"You made it Cin." Nick, leaning on the counter, looking at me with a sly grin on his face.
"Yea, I did, huh? Oh, one thing. Don't call me Cin." I looked him directly in the eye as I walked away from Jimmy.
"Alright." He said reluctantly.
"I thought you were in the horpital." I said.
"I was." He pulled his arm into veiw, and it was in a cast. Then, he reached down and pulled his pants leg up, revealing a gigantic slash in his shin.
"Oh. So, I guess you expect me to go on a pity date with you." It was more a statement then a question, I knew how Nick worked.
"Well, yea, I mean, you're going out with a geek. Why can't you go on a pity date with me?" He looked at me maliciously.
"He's not a geek!" I almost yelled.
"Yes, he is. It's just like on of those corny teen movies where the geeks always get the girl." He looked at my expression to see if he was getting under my skin, but I remained impassive.
Got her, hold her steady,
Forgot her name already.
I walked back over to Jimmy without a word to Nick. He put his arms around my neck and I leaned against him. Libby and Sheen walked up to us and started talking.
Sweatin' hard, not a smooth operator.
She's got it goin' on, dancing to her favorite song.
"Oh, I love this song!" Libby and I exclaimed at the same time, as Blink 182's The Rock Show started playing over the loudspeakers.
We jumped out onto the dance floor and started dancing, leaving Jimmy and Sheen behind. Little did I know, Jimmy was watching me the whole time.
"Look at her." Jimmy said.
"I know, she's beautiful...dark brown skin, brown, caring eyes-"
"No, I'M talking about Cindy." He said.
"Oh, well, sorry." Sheen retorted sarcastically.
"The way she moves to the music..." An awestruck look came onto Jimmy's face, and Sheen waved his hand in front of it.
"Um, are you ok?" He asked.
"Yea, I'm fine." He sighed as he glanced back to where Cindy was dancing. "Just...fine..."
I know, I know, you might think it's a stupid ending, but this chapter was just so long, it took me forever. I had to change some of the grammar, however the heck you spell that, and I had to find the two just right songs to match it. Which brings me to what I want to add, I love the song Dive Right In by Story of the Year and The Geeks Get The Girls by American Hi-Fi. Well, that's it. This is the last chapter of my fanfiction. But don't worry, I'll have another one up sometime soon, just be patient... and I might even add another chapter to this one if I get enough reviews!!!!!!!! So review away!!!!!!!
