The Biggest Mistake of My Life?...
At nine P.M., I went over to Jimmy's for a quick minute...hey, I had something to say.
"Vortex?"
"Yeah, listen, I just wanted to tell you that-well, thanks."
"For what?"
"For making me realize the truth and reality of me...and my life."
"What are you talking about, Cindy?"
"I gotta go. Have a nice life."
I turned around to walk away when Jimmy grabbed my arm.
"Where EXACTLY are you going?"
"That's just it, Jimmy. I don't know. Somewhere...just, anywhere, I guess."
"What? Cindy, you belong HERE." I yanked my arm away and practically yelled, "THAT is were you are SO wrong. I don't belong ANYWHERE!" I was near tears. "You can try to stop me, Neutron, but I'll tell you right now that you'd be wasting your time!" I paused for a minute to make sure he was listening and let the tears flow freely. "Because I won't listen." With that said and understood, I turned around to leave, but Jimmy grabbed me again by the arm. "But why are you doing this?" I looked at him with a serious face. "How could you understand? You wouldn't! Now if you'll excuse me and let go of my arm, you're delaying me of my time."
"Delaying you! Of what! Making the biggest and dumbest mistake of your life? Honestly, Cindy, I thought you knew better."
"Knew BETTER! Of what!"
"You should go now."
"Yeah, but...
I didn't get to finish before he shut the door in my face. Was he right? Was I making a big mistake of my life? So much was running through my head. I wanted to go, but yet I didn't. Then, it came to me: No...I had to do this. Yep-no matter what...
