Sorry! Chapter 8! I owe you guys the biggest fattest fluffiest chapter in your whole life. I've been busy. Damn you, history day project! GRRRRRRRRR! AND YOU MRS. TABAR!
"Who am I? It's Jimmy! Jimmy Neutron!" Jimmy's heart stopped. Now he understood the nurse. "Don't tell me you've lost your memory-"
" I'm sorry. This keeps happening. People come and they leave sad because I ...I'm sorry."
" I have to go... "
"No-coughPlease! cough Don't go. I'm so lonely. Nobody visits me- They all cry. Please don't go. Please... Please."
"O- OK. I'll stay." Maybe she'll remember if I talk to her. He thought silently to himself. He leaned closer to her.
"Ok...Um..Hey. Maybe if I talk to you for a little while you'll get some of your memory back."
"Sure."
"Ok. Let's start with a simple question:What is your name?"
"Suuuuuuuuu...Ssssssssseee...Ssssssss..."
"Your name is Cindy. Cindy Vortex"
"Next question"
"Right. What is my name?"
"Ummmmm...Let's see...What does it start with?"
"It starts with a 'J'."
"Um...Johnny?"
"It's...It's Jimmy."
"This isn't working."
"Do you remember anything at all? Anything?" This was getting to be flusterating.
"I..I do. I remeber things; bits and peices. Everything incomplete. Broken. A crash. A scream. I cryed out...Then blood..So much blood. Then Pain. Then dark. Then white..." She was crying.
"I'll be right back." He went to the nurse, "Abby".
"Excuse me ma'am, How long will it be untill she gets her memory back?"He had a pretty good I dea of how long, but he wanted to know for sure.
"At the rate she's been healing, It'll be about a month for her to remember it all completely." Jimmy's heart sank. 30 days. And it was all his fault. Why'd it have to be her? There were 20 kids in that bus and it had to be her. Cindy Vortex. Even if she got better, it would never be the same.
He came back and put his arm around her shoulder, having to put down a crutch to do so. "It's OK. Before you know it, you'll be up and at 'um in no time. Just wait."
"Hey kid, There's some people in your room waiting on you." Abby said.
"I'll see you tommarow. I gotta go." He picked up his crutch and made his way to the door."
"Bye JJJ..JJJJJ...Jimmy." She called after him.
And at that moment the tiny light of hope flickering in his heart grew somewhat brighter.
Ha Ha! Gotcha! I'll shut up so you can keep reading.
The next couple days were slow. Every day, He get up and go to Cindy's room talking to her, trying to remind her of anything he could, asking her what she remebered. He'd often go to the lab and try to figure out what was wrong with Cindy's head. One day he found out what the problem was.:
The brain is made up of many cells, each containing bits and peices of information. When there is a dramatic injury like this one, many of the brain cells can not be reached because they are crooked and out of shape. When they are like this, it makes it impossible for the brain to have a synopsys, the tiny spark or current that flows through the cells. When they are crooked, they are inaccessable and the current can't make it through because they aren't straight enough. The only way out of this situation is for the brain to repair itself.
He wasn't much of a doctor. But he'd have to be. He'd come up with something. He'd have to.
He woke up the next day to some news. Cindy's broken legs had finnaly mended and she could now be on a pair of crutches and could get herself around. She would usualy spend time with the phyical therapist who helped her regain strength in her legs. Other days she'd waste away sleeping or whatching TV or simply being lazy. As for her memory, she had gotten some of it back as her brain slowly began to revive itself. Before, The only people she remembered were her parents. Now, Libby and Sheen had slowly flowed back in to her mind. She also remembered some of her childhood memories and other things like that. She still couldn't remember Jimmy.
Before Jimmy had moved to town, She and Libby were the only ones on the street. Then Sheen came in and then later, Carl. But then, there had been a four year gap. Not before that gap had Jimmy moved in on the street, making him the last person to move in, and the hardest for Cindy to recall.
Later on that same day, the nurse came in the room for her usual 12 o'clock check up on Jimmy, but with an unusual smile on her face.
"Guess what Jimmy! I just spoke to your doctor. He says that tommarow, you can go home! Isn't that great?" She said joyfully.
After that day, He'd began gathering his stuff, getting ready to leave. The Hospital was fairly far away. 4 Miles infact. On the other side of town. He wondered How he was going to explain all of his sudden trips to his parents and what he'd tell them when they asked where he'd been for the last three hours. He wondered more and more about Cindy. She was on his mind 24/7 Litteraly mostly because sleep didn't come easy. He wondered about him. About her. About them...
OK I'm gonna stop now. I don't care what you say! My hands are so frikin cold cuz of my stupid basement and it's constent temperature of 40ยบ! Gosh!
Now I'm gonna be an a$$ and say that I'm not writing another chapter untill I get 3 reveiws...So there...uh...bye :D
