I hope you all liked the previous chapter. It was kind of hard to write, I just made it up as I went along. LOL I didn't have it FULLY prepared, so...

I believe last time I left off was when Jimmy was heading off to The Big Apple wondering what could be wrong with Cindy...

I got a round flight trip to NY and got there as soon as I could. I arrived at the hospital where Cindy was and ran into the hospital searching for SOMEONE to tell me what was going on. I finally met up with the doctor who had called me.

"What happened? Where is she?"

"Follow me. I'll explain everything in my office."

I followed reluctantly, I wanted to see Cindy! The only person in the world I loved more than anything else in the world...more than science...was somewhere in this horrid building.

"Please sit."

"I want to know what happened to her."

"We don't know much. All we know is that someone found her lying on the side of the road exhausted and terribly dehydrated, as reported."

So much crowded my mind. Why, Cindy? Why the heck did you do this! You could've killed yourself!

"She was transported here the minute I called you."

"I want to see her...please."

"Okay. She's in room 222. Please be gentle with her."

I walked out of the office to room 222. I stood there before going in, staring at the door. I din't want to know what laid behind it, but I had to know...

I slowly opened the door to find her lying almost lifeless. Her face was utterly pale and she had needles, tubes, and lines pinned into her skin. I walked up to her and thought. Cindy, you're so dumb, but you're so... I couldn't think of what I wanted to fill in. So many cared about you. Especially me. I don't know why you thought the other way around.

I couldn't force myself to talk as I gingerly took her IV hand. It felt so thin...like it could break.

She stirred a little and slowly turned her head and looked at me. Her eyes look so lifeless. What happened to my beautiful little angel? What happened to the glow in her beautiful bright green eyes?

"Jimmy?..."

"Yes. It's me...I'm here."

"Why?"

"Because-you expect me to stay in Retroville with you like this! Cindy, what happened?"

"I don't know. All I remember was feeling so tired and hungry. Next thing I know, I'm out."

"Why did you do this!"

"Because..." She was starting to cry. "No one cared about me!"

I wiped her tears with my thumb.

"How could you think that, Cin? What about Libby...about ME?"

"I didn't know you did."

"Cindy, I have ALWAYS cared about you. Ever since the fifth grade."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

I thought. Why didn't I? I knew why...

"Because, Cin, I was scared."

"YOU? Scared?"

"Yes me."

She was starting to cry again.

"Cin, don't cry."

"I can't help it. I just feel so worthless."

"You're NOT. Cindy, listen to me. You had everything. Why, why in the world do you throw it all away?"

"I don't know. I honestly don't know."

I left Cindy after a while, but stayed in NY. Unfortunately...things didn't get any better...

A little hanger 4 ya there. Hope u liked it. Please R/R!

Forever,
