A Dream Come True, Not!

Chapter Twelve:- Forgiving... somehow

Samuraistar: lol and thank you very much...

And to everyone... I apoligize for my bad spelling and or grammar. I couldn't spell certain things right to save my life.

Cindy shook her head. She couldn't be forgiving her self absorbed, mean, hateful, abandoning father! She wouldn't!

"No! I won't forgive him! He abandoned me!" She yelled.

"Cindy... calm down." Jimmy said putting his arm around her shoulders. "I didn't mean to get you so upset." Libby just hid a laugh.

"I think I better go. Sheen's waiting for me and you two seem to need to talk. I'll see you guys later." LIbby said then started out. Cindy just sat down on the couch, leaned back, and sighed.

"Cindy let's think this through for a minute okay?" She nodded. "He might have abandoned you and never come to visit you but, he came all the way from New York to see your wedding. Doesn't that mean anything at all?" She shook her head.

"No. He left me! He broke my heart and I can't forgive him. I won't." (A/N: She's starting to sound like her mother lol) She crossed her arms and still not giving in. In her heart she knew she still liked her father and wanted to forgive him but she wouldn't let herself.

"Why don't we go talk to Chris and Bridgette?"

"No." She wasn't too strong on the 'no'. It sounded half sure and Jimmy wasn't convinced.

"C'mon." He said standing up by her and leading her out the door. He could tell she was about to start crying. It had been a hard week and she had reason to want to cry. They walked out the door.

After finding out from Mrs. Vortex where Chris and Bridgette were staying, they headed toward the right hotel. They got the room number and knocked at the door. Bridgette answered the door drying her hair with a towel.

"Oh hi... I just got out of the shower." She said explaining.

"Does every woman answer the door after being in the shower?" Jimmy asked himself.

"Can we come in?" Cindy finaly asked. She nodded and opened the door to let them in. They walked in and sat down on a few chairs. "Where's Chris?" Jimmy gave her a half suprised half encouraging look. "I mean... my dad." Bridgette smiled and called him into the room.

"What is it?" He asked before noticing Cindy and Jimmy. "Oh..." He smiled once he saw them there. "Hello Cindy. Jimmy." He said. Jimmy nodded and Cindy smiled at him. "What... uhhh.. What brings you two here?" He sat down across from them.

"Look, I'm going to come out and say it. I want to forgive you." Cindy said straight out. Chris smiled. "But," His smile slowly got erased from his face. "I don't if I can. You left me... You left and you never came back to see me, never apoligized or anything, I know you came here for more than my wedding, and I'm pretty sure Bridgette was the only reason you wrote me at all." He let his head hang down low.

"You're right." He admitted. "Bridgette was the one who made me write the letters, I did leave you alone, I never apoligized and I don't expect you to forgive me. I never should have. And yes... I came here for more than your wedding. I came to get a divorce from your mother as well." Chris leaned over and cautiously and put his hand on hers. Cindy didn't pull away and tried to stay calm. "I just don't want you to hate me."

"I don't hate you." She said her eyes starting to tear up. "I'm just mad at you. I don't know if I'll ever get over it but, I can try." A single tear rolled down her cheek. He lifted his hand and wiped it away.

"Is it okay if I hug you for the first time in years?" He asked. All she did was nod. They both stood and wrapped their arms around each other. Chris started to cry openly. Bridgette motioned to Jimmy for them to leave. They left the room and gave them some time alone.

"I'm guessing your the one who told her to come here?" She asked him. He nodded. "You're a good man Mr. Neutron."

"Please call me Jimmy." He said and she nodded.

"Can I get you a drink or something?"

"No I'm fine thanks." Cindy came into the room a few minutes later. "You ready?" He asked and she nodded wiping a few tears from her eyes. He smiled and took her hand then led her out the door and to his car. "So everything's good then?"

"For now at least yeah." She answered. "You know I hate you for this right?" She asked jokingly. He smiled.

"Yeah but that's why you love me." She laughed along with him. Then her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey Cindy!" Libby said on the other side of the phone.

"What's up Libs?"

"You need to get home quick. I have big news! I mean BIG news girl!" She yelled into the phone.

"Can't you tell me over the phone?"

"No! This you need to hear in person, Jimmy too. When you get back come over to my house right away. Okay?"

"Okay..." Cindy was a little unsure of what was going on. "I'll see you in a little bit." She hung up the phone then told Jimmy.

"I wonder what's it's about." He said smiling. He already knew though.

Next chptr will be up A.S.A.P.
