CHAPTER 11 - "Team work, Part 1"
Jimmy and Cindy were walking together through the streets, heading to their respective homes. They were doing it silently though, because they didn't expect Betty would ruin their dance and their date to the movies. Jimmy also looked more sad and dissapointed than Cindy, because he thought he was the only reason that Betty could do anything like this. 'Always me... always me...' he kept saying to himself, lowering his head a bit more by the step. Finally, Cindy broke the dead silence between them.
"I still can believe she did this..." Cindy said, as she looked at Jimmy. "Errr... Jimmy? Are you listening to me?" she asked.
He sighed heavily, but he didn't respond. She made a concerned look. She thought for a while and found that Jimmy was probably expecting for her sermon. But really, she didn't feel like she wanted to. Instead, she took his hand.
"You think it was your entire fault, huh?" she said.
He nodded, his head moving from up and down fast, not even realizing at his hand being holded by hers.
"Look, despite the fact we couldn't dance together, or we couldn't watch a movie, or we couldn't do anything because we've been chased all the time by that horrible bitch...", she said, as she sighed calmly, "I don't know why, but, I have to admit... that I enjoyed this night with you...".
Jimmy lifted his head and let out a smile of surprise. Then, he looked at Cindy. "Really?" he said, finally opening his mouth to spill a word.
She nodded, and returned the smile. He instantly pulled her closer to him and kissed her. She felt like she was melting with every movement he was doing. She broke the kiss for one tiny moment to look at him in awe. 'Wow! You learned good! Jimmy Neutron knows how to kiss, ladies and gentlemen!'. Jimmy looked at her with a sheepish smile, and so then, she pulled him into a more deeper kiss. Just in time, dressed like a mummy because of the bandages she had, Betty arrived to look at the scene on front of her. She clenched her teeth and her anger grew.
"I'll kill you, bitch!" Betty said, ripping her bandages and running to confront Cindy.
Cindy, with little surprise and very short time, grabbed Jimmy by the hand and in a quick move, she stepped back. Betty fell to the floor, feeling more pain than a few minutes ago. She started crying.
"Do you think that we should...?" Jimmy asked, expresing something with his hands. "You know... take her to the hospital...".
"I think she's faking, but, if you feel that way, you can carry her" Cindy responded.
Jimmy walked where Betty was and when he was about to carry her on his arms, Cindy approached.
"You know, Jimmy, I'm glad that I chose to be your girlfriend, because... you... do really care for other people... and, that means a lot to me" she said, and she kissed him on the cheek.
"Get away... from... me..." Betty said with the only strengh left. Then, she suddenly fainted.
"Mmmh... we'd better hurry. Her bruises look extremely bad" Jimmy said, as he looked at Cindy.
She nodded in agree. They ran in direction to the hospital.
Author's note: Cliffhanger again! Maybe it's a little short, but next time, I'll try to do one a bit more larger.
