A Dream Come True, Not!
Chapter Fourteen:- Love?
LMDGlUVR4EVA- If you didn't already go back in look, they are all just out of high school. The first two chptrs were celebrating the graduation.
Cindy woke up the next morning half way smiling. The only thing that wasn't going well was her relationship with her mother. She was happy with Jimmy, her best friend was pregnant, and things with her dad were finaly looking up. Now she just had to try to make up with her mom.
She brushed her hair, got dressed, then went downstairs. She poured herself some orange juice then put some toast into the toaster. Just then her mother turned into the kitchen with the paper in her hand. They both stayed silent but gave a weak smile to one another.
"I think we need to talk." Her mother finaly said breaking the ice. Cindy nodded and sat down at the kitchen table. "Now I want to talk, not have you yell at me."
"I'll try not to yell but I can't make promises." Cindy said just staring at her mother at the other end of the table. "So..."
"First off I want to say I'm sorry."
"Good. You should be apoligizing."
"Cindy." Her mother tried to sound like she was repremanding her daughter but Cindy was right and Christina knew it. "I know I should not have tried to relive my marrige through you. I was so caught up in trying to remake my life and live it better that I forgot about you. I forgot what I was doing to you. I have finaly agreed to divorce your father." Christina's eyes started to water.
"Mother, why didn't you divorce him when he left?" Her eyes closed and tears rolled down her cheeks. Then she took a deep breath about to tell her daughter a secret she tried to hide for so long.
"I'm still in love with him. That's why." Cindy gasped quickly and her eyes went wide. That was one thing she was never expecting. "I've finaly given up hope that he still somehow returns my love. I also have to agree with him that a divorce will help me overcome all of this."
"You still love him?" Cindy barely heard anything her mother said after she had admitted that. Her mother nodded. "Does he know?"
"I think he does which is why he's pushing the divorce more than ever."
"I can't believe this. After all he's done you're still in love with him?"
"What about you? After all he's done, you've made up with him!" He mother accused
"That's different!" Cindy yelled back. "How did you know about that anyways!"
"Please! It's all over the neighborhood! We both know your father has this charm that can sweep us off our feet! Both of us! So don't be accusing me when he did the same thing to you and you fell for it as well!" They were both now yelling at each other.
"That's different! Very different! He's my father! My blood!" Cindy continued to yell. "This is insane." She told herself then walked out the door leaving her mother crying.
Cindy ran in the direction of Jimmy's Lab and knocked on the door. The ground fell from under her and she wound up in Jimmy's arms again.
"Hey." He greeted. "What's up?"
"My mom and me... we just..." She sighed. Jimmy could already tell they had been fighting again. He took her into a comforting embrace. "I don't think we could get along to save our lives anymore." Cindy didn't even realize she was crying until Jimmy went to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "She's still in love with Dad." She said.
"I'm not suprised." Jimmy responded. "It was almost obvious that she was."
"I just can't believe after all he's done that she's still in love with him."
"Well after all of it, you forgave him." Jimmy said.
"You're starting to sound like her. That's exactly what she said." Cindy released herself from his grip.
"You know it's true."
"No! It's different! He's my father! My blood! Does no one understand that?" She yelled.
"I'm sorry. You're right... it's different." Jimmy went over and hugged her again. "I'm sorry." Jimmy wasn't sure if he believed it was different or not but he just needed to calm her down right now. "But Cindy think about it, if I left and came back years later, would you still love me?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
"Yes."
"I don't know. I guess I might still love you." Cindy admitted still in his arms. "It's just hard to understand you know?"
"I understand." He didn't actually understand fully but... "You know you should apologize to your mother and talk to her again." Cindy looked up at him.
"I know. It's just so hard to get along with her and not want to hate her. Everytime I see her, I want to start yelling at her."
"It's okay. I'll go with you."
"Thanks." They started walking over to her house. They walked in to see a note by the coffee pot. Cindy read it aloud. "Cindy, this house now belongs to you. I have left money for you to help pay for the house for about a year. I can tell I'm not wanted here and it'll be easier for everyone if I'm not here. Chris I've left all the divorce papers on the coffee table. Good luck to you all. Christina Jones."
"Jones?" Jimmy asked
"Her maiden name..."
"Well now I know you get the running gene from both parents."
I don't think I'll be able to get the next chptr up till at least the 4th... do u guys want Christina to return or no?
